Chapter 318 The old man has a problem with Shi Shi
"Second Master, you are back."
The housekeeper stepped forward and quietly reminded, "The old man was very angry early in the morning."
Huo Yunzheng's expression did not change, this was something he had expected.
In the old man's eyes, he is now disobedient and defiant, and an unfilial son who has let down the ancestors of the Huo family.
Inside the Huo family mansion, Huo Yunzheng walked into the front hall.
"grandfather."
The stalemate was finally broken, and when Mr. Huo saw him coming back, his expression relaxed slightly.
"You still remember to come back?!"
Huo Shan was the first to scold, his words full of accusations.
"Your grandfather waited for you until two in the morning last night."
Huo Yunzheng smiled calmly, "I told you this in advance, you took me as a joke."
Huo Shan was speechless. He had completely lost control over his son and couldn't even say a word.
"Today is the first day of the new year. If you don't come back, I will really remove your name from the family tree!"
Mr. Huo snorted coldly and spoke angrily.
But no one will take this seriously.
Huo Yunzheng was raised by Huo Liancheng himself and is his true love.
"Your wife has a really stubborn temper." Huo Liancheng muttered.
Why is the girl from the Jing family so stubborn?
Huo Yunzheng glanced at the housekeeper, who immediately asked the servants waiting outside to come in and put two large bags in front of Huo Liancheng.
"Your granddaughter-in-law prepared it."
Huo Liancheng snorted.
"Does my Huo family need anything? No one is around, and my daughter-in-law doesn't even come back to wish them a happy new year or say hello."
While saying this, his eyes glanced at the pile of things.
Huo Xiaonuan saw what the old man was thinking at a glance and hurried forward.
"Let me see what goodies my second sister-in-law has brought. This coat is for you, right? It's really nice."
Huo Xiaonuan took out the clothes and tried them on the old man.
"As expected of my second sister-in-law, she runs a clothing business and has a good eye. This coat suits you very well."
Huo Xiaonuan grew up with the old man and understood his temper.
He is stubborn and extremely concerned about his reputation.
But one thing we have to admit is that elderly people are sometimes just like children and need to be coaxed.
The reason why the old man was so dissatisfied with his second sister-in-law was because of the matter between Huo Qi and Huo Jiayuan.
But now he should also understand that these people will never be able to set foot in the old house again in this lifetime.
Huo Liancheng looked at the coat and thought that the girl was thoughtful.
In the morning, many guests came to the Huo family, all of them were relatives of the Huo family.
Shi Shi accompanied Huo Shan to entertain.
Now she is nominally in charge of the Huo family's household affairs. She is the mistress of the Huo family mansion, so of course she has to act like one.
Mr. Huo was of a high generation, so these people would not disturb him from resting after paying their New Year's greetings. After a brief greeting, they went to the side hall and chatted with Huo Shan.
Because of their close kinship, these people depend on the Huo family and get a lot of benefits from it on a daily basis.
If you can take the opportunity of New Year's greetings to strengthen your relationship, you will definitely have more good days in the future.
So everyone stayed around and refused to leave. Even though they had nothing in common, they seemed to have endless things to talk about.
Shi Shi was surrounded by a group of women, listening to their flattery. Only at this time could her vanity be greatly satisfied.
"Hey, sister-in-law, why don't I see your daughter-in-law? Yun Zheng's wife didn't come back today?"
"Is she doing business? Doesn't she take a break during the New Year?"
Just out of curiosity, these relatives asked a few more questions.
Unexpectedly, Shi Shi suddenly showed an aggrieved expression.
"Ouch, what happened?"
Shi Shi sat there, sighing repeatedly.
"It's all my fault. I failed to manage such a big family, which made Xiaoxi feel dissatisfied with the Huo family. That child is also a bad tempered one. Not only did she not come back today, but she also did not come back last night on New Year's Eve, a holiday for family reunion. She even dragged Yun Zheng to make trouble, which almost pissed off the old man."
"It's said that being a stepmother is not easy. Over the years, Yun Zheng and I have gotten along pretty well, but I know that he doesn't consider me his biological mother. Now that he has a daughter-in-law, my status as a stepmother-in-law is awkward, and I dare not speak up when I encounter problems."
Shi Shi's words were vague and everyone was confused, not knowing what the girl from the Jing family had done.
But seeing Shi Shi complaining like this, it must be that girl who is ignorant.
"Yun Zheng is no longer close to his family and has disobeyed his elders several times. I tried to persuade him but he wouldn't listen."
"I have no way to manage it, and I don't have the position to manage it."
The relatives around her tried to persuade and comfort Shi Shi.
Outside, the housekeeper passed by and heard it all clearly.
In the study, Huo Liancheng drank tea, listened to the housekeeper's words, and put the teacup heavily on the table.
"Did she really say that?"
The butler nodded, noting the old man's obviously irritated expression.
The old man has always been very concerned about his reputation and adheres to the principle that family disgrace should not be made public. No matter how much trouble there is inside the Huo family, not a single word can be revealed to the outside world.
For example, in the case of Master Jiayuan, it was announced to the public that he was sent to work in another place, and only very few people knew that he was paralyzed in bed.
Shi Shi spoke ill of the Second Master in front of all those cousins, obviously intending to discredit the Second Master's reputation.
Huo Liancheng sat on the wooden chair without saying a word.
That daughter-in-law was very gentle and filial in front of him. She also managed all the complicated affairs of the Huo family in an orderly manner.
At first, he was reluctant to let her marry into the Huo family as Huo Shan's second wife. Later, she worked hard in the Huo family and the old man thought more than once that he had misunderstood her.
After so long, he has made up to his daughter-in-law over the years and has never treated her harshly in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.
I didn't expect that she would say these words in front of outsiders.
Huo Liancheng immediately had an opinion about Shi Shi.
It seems that this daughter-in-law is not so trustworthy.
……
During the Chinese New Year, Han Man did not contact anyone at home and only called her younger brother who was abroad.
There was a knock on the door. Han Man opened the door and was obviously surprised to see Qin Muyuan coming over suddenly.
"How did you come?"
"I brought some food. I guess you haven't eaten yet."
Han Man watched him come in, went to the kitchen very naturally and opened her refrigerator.
"I was at home yesterday and didn't have time to come see you. Sorry."
Knowing that she was alone in Beijing and spending the New Year alone, Qin Muyuan felt a little bit sorry for her and was always thinking about her.
Han Man smiled and said, "I made some dumplings yesterday, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and then went to bed. It was the first time I spent the New Year so relaxed and happy."
Qin Muyuan listened to her words and saw her smile from the bottom of her heart, and gradually felt relieved.
I thought she would be sad.
"I'm not very good at cooking, so I bought some ingredients for hot pot. I remember you like hot pot, right?"
Han Man nodded, "Okay, then we'll go together."
