Chapter 264: Bewitched by That Seductive Woman
Qin Muyuan seemed a little embarrassed facing Qiao Chuchu. After saying hello, his eyes involuntarily fell on Han Man.
Qiao Chuchu understood that Qin Muyuan came specially to pick up his sweetheart from get off work, and maybe they would have a date later.
She heard from her husband that although Mr. Qin looked reserved, he was actually a romantic man who had been secretly in love with her for many years, just like that boy Lu Yiming.
But Lawyer Lu and Chu Xia have a mutual crush on each other, while this guy seems to be in unrequited love.
"You guys go and do your work. I'll take Zi Yan home and won't waste your time." Qiao Chuchu said with a smile.
Qin Muyuan heard the joking in her words and his ears turned red.
"Then sister-in-law, we'll leave first."
Qin Muyuan took the initiative to reach out and take the bag from Han Man.
Perhaps because Qiao Chuchu and Huo Ziyan were there, Han Man felt a little embarrassed and did not give it to him.
The two of them didn't hold hands, they just walked side by side.
Qiao Chuchu blinked and saw that Han Man was still somewhat withdrawn from herself.
Yes, after experiencing such a thing, not to mention the pain in Han Man's heart, would she feel inferior when facing Qin Muyuan?
Even if the other person was not Qin Muyuan, it would be somewhat difficult for her to start a new relationship right now, to love someone and to accept being loved.
"Mom, are we going home now? Where's Dad?" Huo Ziyan asked.
Qiao Chuchu took his small schoolbag, let him get in the car, and then sat in the driver's seat herself.
"Mom will take you to the supermarket, okay?"
As for Huo Yunzheng, Qiao Chuchu knew that he had returned to his old house today.
Today is not the day for a family dinner, Huo Yunzheng told her that he would only go back to take a look and would return to Lishuiju for dinner in the evening.
Qiao Chuchu would not force him to abandon everyone in the Huo family. Although she now had some grudges between her and Mr. Huo and the Huo family, she would not hinder Huo Yunzheng from fulfilling his filial piety.
Just let him weigh everything. Qiao Chuchu is too lazy to worry about it.
“Going to the supermarket, yay!”
The little bun looked very excited, dancing and gesticulating, saying that he wanted to buy a lot of jelly and candy to eat.
……
Inside the Huo family’s old house.
Huo Liancheng was very happy to see Huo Yunzheng coming back. He asked the housekeeper to instruct the kitchen to cook more dishes in the evening and to take out his treasured Moutai liquor.
"Grandpa, don't bother me. I'll be leaving soon. I still have work to do." Huo Yunzheng refused.
Huo Shan was sitting in the front hall, listening to his son's words with an unhappy look on his face.
"Hmph, do you really have work to do, or does that wife of yours not want you to stay for long?"
His words revealed his dissatisfaction and resentment towards Qiao Chuchu.
In Huo Shan's opinion, his son had not returned home for such a long time and had not even said hello, all because he had been bewitched by that seductive woman.
He now wants the Jing family instead of the Huo family, and is eager to become someone else's son-in-law!
Huo Yunzheng's eyes flashed with displeasure, "Xiao Xi never stopped me from coming back. As for why she doesn't want to come back now, we have to ask our family."
Huo Liancheng's face darkened as he understood what his grandson meant.
After the woman had a miscarriage, he cared about Jia Yuan and Huo Qi, and thought that since they had been punished, the matter was over and there was no need to make a fuss about it, so he spoke harshly.
But he is the elder after all. Even if some things are out of balance, does he really have to apologize to a junior?
The daughter brought up by the Jing family is so petty that she has to argue about right and wrong with her elders?
There is an old saying that a woman must obey her husband after marriage. Although the Huo family is not like the ancient feudal families with so many rules, they do not require women to observe the three obediences and four virtues.
But he hasn't reached the point where he has to be controlled by a woman!
"Yun Zheng, Xiao Xi has a strong temper. We know she feels uncomfortable. Go back and try to persuade her. After all, we are a family."
On the side, Shi Shi seemed to be trying to smooth things over, but in fact, her words were still hinting that Qiao Chuchu didn't know the rules.
As the granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family, she was disrespectful to her elders. At family dinners, not only did she throw a tantrum and refuse to come back, she also made her elders apologize and invite her in a servile manner.
"You really take yourself seriously, Yun Zheng. I would say you can't control that woman at all. Just divorce her. Yesterday I went fishing and met Mr. Guo from the Evergreen Group. His daughter just came back from studying abroad. She doesn't look as good as..."
Before Huo Shan could finish speaking, Huo Yunzheng glanced over. Even though Huo Shan was a father, he was frightened by such a cold look.
"Uncle, so you married a wife to control her. I don't think you can control my aunt. Otherwise, my aunt should stay at home every day, take care of your husband and children without makeup, instead of hanging out in beauty salons and shopping malls all day."
Huo Xiaonuan mocked mercilessly. She knew her second brother would be back today, so she followed him after get off work. She didn't expect that it would be better for him not to come back.
It’s really frustrating. She now feels discomfort in her breasts.
I don’t know what’s wrong with my grandfather and my uncle. The older they get, the more peaceful and tolerant they should be in dealing with people. However, it seems like their thinking is getting worse.
I don’t know whether they are blind or their hearts are covered.
What's wrong with my second sister-in-law?
The Jing family is also a wealthy and prominent family, with a more noble status than the Huo family. The second sister-in-law is beautiful and young. She started her own business and is now studying for further studies.
If the second sister-in-law had not married her second brother, I'm afraid that matchmakers would have trodden down the door of the Jing family.
They got a bargain, but they are still picky.
In her opinion, her grandfather's cognition was restricted and he was conservative at heart, while her uncle was simply bored.
Shi Shi was inexplicably mocked by Huo Xiaonuan, but she stood beside Huo Shan and did not show any displeasure.
She was just a young girl, and she was too lazy to bother with her.
"I've said before, Xiaoxi is my wife. If you have any complaints, just come to me. There's no need to find fault with her."
Huo Yunzheng glanced at Huo Shan and Shi Shi, and then added: "There is no need to go to her privately without my knowledge and put pressure on her."
Huo Yunzheng married a wife to love her, not to be bullied by her.
If a woman suffers bullying outside, it's the man's incompetence.
Shi Shi stood there in silence, knowing that Huo Yunzheng was targeting her, but she was doing this under the orders of the old man.
Whatever temper Huo Yunzheng had, he took it out on Huo Liancheng.
"What's your attitude?!" Huo Shan was annoyed.
He finally came back, but instead of coming back to visit his elders, he came here to act bossy and act like a CEO?
Without the Huo family, he is nothing. Everything he has now was given to him by his father!
Huo Yunzheng lazily raised his eyelids, looked at Huo Shan, and gave a mocking smile.
Then he looked at Shi Shi again.
Just one look made Shi Shi feel a little uneasy, as Huo Yunzheng seemed to be about to cause trouble.
