Chapter 207聽聽 - Formations
"Your Hauptverwaltungsgebaude is such a large company, why do I have to report everything to her? There is actually no one who can help her share her worries? " Hearing this, the Mrs. Zhang asked.
"Of course there are, but Xi Wen Ming is a CEO. Even if he doesn鈥檛 have to do everything personally, there are still a lot of important decisions that need her to make. She was still young, and it was always good to spend more effort on her career. As adults, don鈥檛 we want to see our children do their jobs well? " Zhou Wan Ru鈥檚 voice was soft and pleasing to the ear, just like her gentle voice.
However, the meaning behind her words were very clear. Her daughter being late for work, as the successor of Huo Family, being able to manage the Hauptverwaltungsgebaude with such dedication was something worth encouraging and comforting.
"You鈥檙e right, but there鈥檚 also a matter of priority. This is a life-and-death matter ..." Mrs. Zhang was not satisfied, he still wanted to argue with Zhou Wan Ru.
Seeing that, Zhang Jun Xian immediately called out to her, "Grandma, are you not happy that your future granddaughter-in-law is so capable?"
"How could I be unhappy? Aren鈥檛 I ..." After Zhang Jun Xian鈥檚 reminder, Mrs. Zhang became aware that he had lost control of himself. He pulled his eyebrows back and hid his unhappiness, not saying another word.
At this time, Zhang Jun Xian opened his mouth again to console Zhou Wan Ru, "Aunt Huo, Xi Wen is currently blocking the way, so he was late. Don鈥檛 mind him too much. "It鈥檚 still early, why don鈥檛 you tell us more about Xi Wen鈥檚 childhood and let me know more about her."
The more Zhou Wan Ru saw, the more she liked this brat, Zhang Jun Xian. He was well-behaved, sensible, and didn鈥檛 have a temper.
Although rumors of him being a playboy had reached her ears occasionally, she had also investigated behind his back and knew that most of the women he was with were just playmates, none of whom he truly knew. This made her feel a lot more at ease.
Now that she saw how he understood the general situation and knew how to control the situation, her appreciation for him increased even further. Thus, she smiled and told him about Huo Xi Wen鈥檚 childhood events.
When Huo Xi Wen arrived at the hotel and walked into the private room, she found everyone chatting happily.
"Mom, everyone, I鈥檓 sorry, but the road is blocked. I鈥檓 late." After entering the room, she apologized and explained why she was late. Then, she was pulled to the table by Zhou Wan Ru and introduced, "Xi Wen, this is the handsome man鈥檚 grandmother, Mrs. Zhang, and this is the handsome man鈥檚 mother, Mrs. Zhang."
"Greetings, Grandma Zhang. Greetings, Aunt Zhang." Huo Xi Wen greeted them one by one, and discovered that the other party was looking at him with a probing gaze.
Especially Mrs. Zhang, his cloudy eyes shone brightly as if he had found his prey.
This gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over.
After a long while, Loving Love saw her slowly nod. "You鈥檙e welcome. Take a seat."
Zhou Wan Ru instructed A Xia at this time to have the waiter begin to serve the dishes.
After Huo Xi Wen sat down, when she realized that the Mrs. Zhang was still looking at him, unable to bear the fervent gaze of the other party, she could not help but ask, "Aunt Zhang, is there something on my face?"
When the Mrs. Zhang heard him, he realized that his eyes were too straightforward. He quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Look at me, such a good-looking girl, I think I鈥檓 lost in thought for a while."
Although she was being praised as beautiful, for some reason, Huo Xi Wen didn鈥檛 really like it. She revealed a slightly perfunctory smile, and in the blink of an eye, she looked towards Zhang Jun Xian who was sitting opposite of her, only to discover that Zhang Jun Xian was also looking at her.
"What are you looking at?" She gave Zhang Jun Xian a look.
"Look at you." Zhang Jun Xian looked back at her.
"Stop looking." She rolled her eyes at him.
"Puchi." Zhang Jun Xian could not hold back his laughter.
Mrs. Zhang saw his son laugh and was a little confused, "Junxian, what鈥檚 wrong with you? What are you laughing at? "
"Nothing, I just think that Xi Wen is getting off work in a hurry, he didn鈥檛 even finish his makeup, and his eyebrows are raised on one side and lowered on the other." Zhang Jun Xian laughed.
"Is that so?" Hearing that, the Mrs. Zhang looked carefully at Huo Xi Wen鈥檚 face, "No, I don鈥檛 see anything.
"Aunt, I think it鈥檚 because one side of Mr Zhang鈥檚 eyes are high and the other side is low." Huo Xi Wen ridiculed.
Upon hearing the way she addressed Zhang Jun Xian, Zhou Wan Ru鈥檚 brows couldn鈥檛 help but knit together, "Xi Wen, the two of you have been together for quite a while.
Huo Xi Wen realized that she had accidentally exposed herself, and became flustered in her heart. But very quickly, she started to spout nonsense, "Isn鈥檛 it so? He told me to call it that. She said it made me respect him more. "
Zhang Jun Xian took the pot that she threw directly at him, and laughed, "That鈥檚 right, Aunt. Originally, I wanted her to call me Junxian, but she felt that it was too musky, so he called me Mister Zhang."
Hearing this, Zhou Wan Ru looked at her daughter with a blaming expression, "Wanru, this is your mistake. How did the handsome man become numb? Isn鈥檛 it fine? "
"Mom ..." "I ..." Huo Xi Wen wanted to explain why he had to go against him, but he had no explanation. He could only glare at Zhang Jun Xian gloomily and shut his mouth.
At this time, the waiter pushed the door open and came in to serve the dishes. Finally, everyone began to eat dinner with their chopsticks in their hands.
During the meal, everyone talked and laughed a little, the atmosphere was pretty good, especially Zhang Jun Xian, he really knew how to stir the atmosphere, causing a few elders to laugh heartily.
Huo Xi Wen had only come to eat this meal with a coping attitude, so her thoughts were not here at all. She did not even care about the few sneering words Zhang Jun Xian had said at the table.
It was only after they had finished eating that Mrs. Zhang took out a embroidered box from his handbag and called Huo Xi Wen over to her. She finally realized that this meal was not a simple one.
Mrs. Zhang picked up the bracelet with one trembling hand and held Huo Xi Wen鈥檚 hand with the other, "Xi Wen, this is my grandmother鈥檚 first time seeing you, but I really like you little girl. My mother-in-law gave me this bracelet when I married into the Zhang Family. Logically, I should have passed it on to your mother-in-law, but she had a bracelet that her mother had given her, so I kept it in my custody until the future granddaughter-in-law gave it to her. Today Grandmother will gift this bracelet to you. If you wear it, you will be the future wife of our Zhang Family. "
did not expect that the other party would gift her such a big gift the moment they took action. Logic told her that this bracelet could not be accepted, thus she quickly opened her mouth and said, "Grandma, this bracelet is too precious, I ..."
"It鈥檚 just a greeting gift. Since grandmother gave it to you, you should accept it so that the elderly can feel at ease." Zhang Jun Xian interrupted her at the side and urged her on.
Huo Xi Wen hated that she couldn鈥檛 not give him a slap on the face. Giving a greeting gift was something that he actually didn鈥檛 inform her about in advance and even urged her to accept it.
She was angry, but Mrs. Zhang had already put the bracelet on her hand.
Because Huo Xi Wen鈥檚 hands did not merge together completely, and did not retract, when Mrs. Zhang was putting on the bracelet for her, he used his wrist slightly, and almost forced the bracelet into her hand, causing her to feel pain coming from her hand.
The Old Granny gave him a greeting gift. As the future mother-in-law of the Mrs. Zhang, she naturally wanted to entertain him a little as well. She took out a long embroidered box from her bag.
Opening it, there was a jade necklace with a dark green and clear water color, "XIwen, this is the greeting gift from your mother, it just so happens to be a pair with this bracelet, you should take it as well."
Huo Xi Wen really wanted to reject it, but she had already accepted the bracelet.
Zhang Jun Xian saw through her thoughts, and said, "This necklace is really pretty, Xi Wen, you must be very beautiful when you wear it. You just need to accept my Mummy鈥檚 kind intentions."
She turned back to her mother, wanting to ask her questions.
Zhou Wan Ru smiled and nodded towards her, also signalling for her to accept it.
There was nothing she could do. Although she was unwilling, she still took the necklace.
Old granny, we are young and inexperienced, and it is rare that you all like her so much. In the future, we will just have to look at our own interactions with the two young people. Zhou Wan Ru smiled and said after Huo Xi Wen kept the necklace.
"Junxian, you heard it. From now on, you have to develop well with Xi Wen. It鈥檚 about time, so you have to settle this matter and fulfill our lord鈥檚 wish." Mrs. Zhang said to Zhang Jun Xian.
"Don鈥檛 worry, Aunt, I will do my best to treat Xi Wen well." Zhang Jun Xian confidently said as he made a bet.
Seeing his serious expression, Huo Xi Wen couldn鈥檛 help but admire his courage silently in his heart.
If he didn鈥檛 go to Hollywood to develop, he would really be buried.
After the meal, the group stood up and left the private room.
Huo Xi Wen wanted to go to the toilet, so she went to the bathroom.
They were waiting for her in the hall.
After she went to the bathroom, she washed her hands and came out. Just as she was about to walk towards the hall, she met two people in the corridor that she did not want to see at the moment.
"Miss Huo, why are you here?" Zhao Wei was a little shocked to see Huo Xi Wen.
"I鈥檒l eat here." Huo Xi Wen replied. Her eyes uncontrollably looked towards the Fu Mu Yun standing in front of him, and stared ahead without blinking, as if she had not noticed her existence at all.
"What a coincidence, we also happened to come here to eat. We just finished eating here." Zhao Wei laughed.
"Alright, let鈥檚 go. The driver is still waiting for us outside." Fu Mu Yun who was in front did not wait for them to finish their greetings as she shouted coldly.
Zhao Wei could only say goodbye to Huo Xi Wen.
Huo Xi Wen looked at Fu Mu Yun鈥檚 completely unrecognizable appearance and was a little angry in her heart. Although they had agreed that she would put him down.
But it鈥檚 not like the two of them had to ignore each other as if they were strangers.
No, even strangers could greet them. In their current situation, they could not even be considered strangers anymore.
