Chapter 571: 571, no good deeds co without ulterior motives; if not deceit then it’s theft!
Looking at Su Wanwan, he felt as if she was sowhat different from a few months ago.
Sitting next to Huo Jingshen, she resembled a good-natured young wife, her beautiful eyes crescent-shaped when she smiled, sparkling as if with stars, bright and radiant.
As they were indoors, Huo Jingshen wore a black cashre sweater over his white shirt, presenting the image of a mature and stable business elite at a glance.
With her casual attire, the trappings of youthful innocence were still apparent on Su Wanwan’s face. The mischievous bun hairstyle, along with a face unsullied by makeup, made her look pure and beautiful, like a freshman university student in her late teens.
Huo Jingshen was a full 10 years older than her, and he had thought sitting together would be awkward, yet surprisingly…
One was mature and reserved, the other spirited and lively.
Unexpectedly, they seed a perfect match.
Especially when Huo Jingshen suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Wanwan with a slight smile. At the sa ti, Su Wanwan looked up at him.
For a mont, the couple exchanged a deep look, creating a harmonious scene.
Xing Yuyun watched them, his fists unconsciously clenched.
How could this be?
Didn’t she marry Huo Jingshen impulsively just to anger him?
But now, they seed as intimate as a long-married couple.
In less than half a year, had their relationship developed so well?
This realization made Xing Yuyun uncomfortable.
His gaze remained fixed on Su Wanwan’s face, and he had even forgotten to move, until his arm was abruptly pulled.
“Yuyun.” Huo Qinyu lowered her voice, warning sharply, “Greet your grandparents.”
Xing Yuyun composed himself and ca forward with his gift, “Grandfather, grandmother, Happy New Year.”
All the elders present were aware of the engagent between Xing Yuyun and Su Wanwan two years ago. But during her studying abroad, Xing Yuyun had an affair with her half-done sister, Su Yanyan, which culminated in a false pregnancy scandal.
In any case, the whole thing ended in an ugly ss.
But today, being the Spring Festival and a family gathering, no one wanted to bring up such unpleasant matters. They just pretend not to know.
After the elder couple had accepted the gift, Xing Yuyun also greeted Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu, then turned to Huo Jingshen. “Brother.”
Huo Jingshen nodded slightly, maintaining a superior elder’s distance, giving a lukewarm response.
Su Wanwan, watching the exchange, couldn’t help but want to laugh.
He was so childish and unrestrained in private, but he could be pretty intimidating in public. After all, he was the eldest grandson of the Huo family, and his status was enough to command respect, even without saying a word.
But Xing Yuyun, looking at Su Wanwan, couldn’t bring himself to address her as ‘sister-in-law’.
Seeing her son’s hesitation, the anxious Huo Qinyu nudged him, and finally, Xing Yuyun managed to stamr, “Sister-in-law.”
Looking at his embarrassed expression, Su Wanwan felt an inexplicable desire to laugh.
Poor guy.
Nodding slightly in acknowledgnt, she considered this as a greeting.
Mingzhu stood up at the right mont to announce, “Now that everyone is here, waiter, please bring out the dishes.”
Xing Yuyun found a seat and sat down, but his gaze keep drifting towards Su Wanwan.
But soon, he felt another gaze upon him.
When he looked up, there was indeed, Huo Jingshen’s eyes t his.
His cold gaze seed filled with intimidating sharpness, probing and invasive, as if seeing through to his every thought all at once.
Xing Yuyun felt a chill in his heart. Before he could react, Huo Jingshen turned his gaze away.
After that, Xing Yuyun didn’t dare to glance around casually anymore.
“Grandfather, Grandmother.”
Suddenly, Xing Siqing appeared beside grandfather Huo and grandmother Huo. “Here are the gifts I brought for you, wishing you a happy and blissful new year, and long years of health.”
With her sweet voice and ingratiating smile, she then presented gifts to Huo Juncheng and Mingzhu as well.
Of course, all the elders were very pleased.
Although Xing Siqing was a bit spoiled, her sweet talk was indeed an asset.
And she knew how to win over the elders.
Whenever there was a gathering, she never showed up empty-handed in front of the elders, always bringing gifts tailor-made to their preferences.
You could see the thought she’d put into it ahead of ti.
Of course, it could have been Huo Qinyu’s idea.
Su Wanwan thought about this, but she just smiled politely, until Xing Siqing suddenly ca to her side.
“Sister-in-law, this is my New Year gift for you. I hope you like it.”
Su Wanwan was surprised, “For ?”
“Yes.” Under Huo Qinyu’s indicating gaze, Xing Siqing handed over a pink gift box.
Su Wanwan was utterly shocked now.
Had Xing Siqing changed her nature?
Previously, every ti she saw her, she was ready to bite, but today she was so polite?
Not to ntion calling her sister-in-law voluntarily she also gave her a gift.
Were there unexpected showers of blossoms?
Unsolicited greetings, either treacherous or thieving!
She didn’t believe this little bitch could change that much in such a short ti.
But just….
With the elders at the table watching, Su Wanwan imdiately stood up, smiling, “Thank you, Sister Siqing.”
Isn’t it simply playing along?
Who can’t do that?
Sure enough, seeing Su Wanwan happily accept the gift, Xing Siqing’s eyes moved slightly, but her voice remained gentle and sweet, “I didn’t know what Sister-in-law likes, thought you were still in college, so I brought you the latest version of the tablet, hope you will like it.”
“Sister Siqing, you’re really considerate. Isn’t this quite expensive?” Su Wanwan was sowhat surprised.
She actually gave such a practical thing as a tablet.
Frankly speaking, if Xing Siqing gave costics or sothing, she really wouldn’t dare to use them.
Xing Siqing scorned in her heart, but still kept up the modest courtesy on the surface, “It’s okay, I already have a job now, I have a steady inco, as long as Sister-in-law likes it.”
“Thank you, I really like it.” Su Wanwan also responded with a smile.
At one side, Grandma Huo spoke up, “Not bad, Siqing, you finally learned sothing this ti.”
Huo Qinyu said with a smile, “Siqing has always been the one who is doing wrong, she didn’t understand and had so prejudice against Wanwan. But after all, we are family, and once everything is cleared up, there will be no problem. Siqing, you should get along well with your sister-in-law in the future, okay?”
“I got it.” Xing Siqing pouted, seemingly a little embarrassed.
So in an instant, the whole room was filled with laughter and talk.
Everyone chatted for a while, and the waiters began to co in one after another to serve dishes.
They were all wearing high-split, sleeveless red cheongsams, with high buns, holding delicate trays.
Upon seeing Bai Ruwei also coming in with a tray, Mingzhu, who had been smiling before, suddenly froze.
Huo Juncheng followed his wife’s gaze, and before he could understand what was going on, Huo Zhexi next to him had already jumped up in excitent.
“Xiaowei, why are you here?”
Bai Ruwei stood there with a pale face, still holding a tray in her hand, which was filled with a cold dish.
Su Wanwan was equally surprised.
She never thought that Bai Ruwei would work as a waitress in this restaurant, and just happened to be serving dishes to their room.
Was this a soap opera?
Others didn’t know what was going on, but with Huo Zhexi’s outcry of “Xiaowei”, it seed like they all understood, and everyone’s eyes fell on Bai Ruwei’s face.
Under everyone’s gaze, Bai Ruwei still ca over with a stiff calmness, and put the cold dish on the mobile table.
“The Dragon and Phoenix bring you good luck, please enjoy.”
After reporting the na of the dish, she turned and left with the tray.
No doubt Huo Zhexi would let her walk away like this, he imdiately rushed out.
Mingzhu didn’t even have ti to hold him back.
Everyone at the table looked at each other in dismay until Grandpa Huo asked in a deep voice, “Mingzhu, what exactly is going on?”
Su Wanwan didn’t speak.
Mingzhu sighed, “Dad, that waitress just now, she’s Zhexi’s ex-girlfriend.”
“What?” Grandma Huo frowned, “Zhexi’s ex-girlfriend?”
Xing Siqing couldn’t help saying, “Really? Was that waitress Zhexi’s girlfriend? When did Zhexi start to like this type?”
Huo Qinyu quickly pulled her daughter back, “You say less.”
Was she blind? Couldn’t she see that her aunt’s face had changed?
Mingzhu’s face indeed didn’t look good.
She disliked Bai Ruwei. She never ntioned such a small thing to the Huo family. She thought she would settle it quietly, but today, the whole family saw it!
