Chapter 51: His Parents
These two people are none other than Huo Chiguan's parents, Huo Shaosi, the previous president of Huo's Group, and his wife Gao Ouyi.
Since handing over the Huo Group to Huo Chiguan to take care of, out of trust in Huo Chiguan's ability, Huo Shaosi no longer interferes in Huo's business, and Huo Chiguan has indeed managed the Huo Group better and better, gradually surpassing Huo Shaosi's achievements.
But Huo Shaosi and Gao Ouyi heard some time ago that Huo Chiguan often postponed important trips for the sake of a girl during this time, so they began to inquire about the news about this girl, and it was only then that Huo Chiyin "visited" Lin Yuxue in the hospital last time.
Huo Shaosi and Gao Ouyi originally only thought that Huo Chiguan might be on a whim, but Huo Chiguan suddenly told them today that he was going to propose to Lin Yuxue, which immediately made them both confused.
As parents, they naturally have plans to get married to Huo Chiguan, even if the Huo family doesn't need marriage to go to the next level, they still have a choice for a daughter-in-law. The girl who knows the roots and knows the bottom and looks at the girl who has grown up is much stronger than this unknown Lin Yuxue in their hearts.
Lin Wei, as the former president of the Lin Group, once tried his best to enter the upper circle, but because of his poor character, he aroused the disgust of others. When Huo Shaosi and Gao Ouyi knew that Lin Yuxue's father was Lin Wei, they immediately had some prejudice against Lin Yuxue.
After knowing that Huo Chiguan planned to propose to Lin Yuxue at the dinner, Huo Shaosi and Gao Ouyi, who were originally on vacation in another city, immediately rushed back, got off the plane and went straight here, but they didn't expect it to be too late.
When Huo Chiguan introduced Lin Yuxue to everyone just now, Gao Ouyi's face suddenly changed.
Although the two didn't approve of Lin Yuxue very much, their good upbringing still kept them sane.
Seeing his parents appear in the hall, Huo Chiguan patted Lin Yuxue's hand and said, "My parents are here, you and I can go and meet them." β
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue raised her head suddenly, and once again looked at Huo Chiguan with a surprised gaze: "Your parents? Why are you going to see your parents so soon? β
Lin Yuxue never expected to hear Huo Chiguan's confession today, nor did she expect him to propose to her, let alone that she would meet Huo Chiguan's parents in less than twenty minutes after the proposal.
Is this the vigorous and resolute Huo Shao's style of doing things? It's as if you're on a rocket and you're on a rocket.
Huo Chiguan pinched Lin Yuxue's face dotingly: "The ugly daughter-in-law wants to see her in-laws, are you shy?" β
Lin Yuxue glared at him, and said angrily: "You are ugly." β
Huo Shaosi and Gao Ouyi watched the two get closer and closer, and they seemed to be still teasing each other, and their expressions couldn't help but be a little complicated.
"Dad, Mom, this is Yuxue, who has already agreed to my proposal." Huo Chiguan greeted his parents first, and did not forget to emphasize the fact that Lin Yuxue was already his fiancΓ©e.
Huo Chi knew that his parents didn't know Lin Yuxue, and in their hearts, they were definitely not as good as the candidates they were looking for. But he had to speak before he could stop his parents' words.
Immediately, Huo Chiguan also turned his head sideways to introduce his parents to Lin Yuxue.
"Hello uncle and aunt." Lin Yuxue greeted obediently, and her heart went up and down.
I don't know why, since Huo Chiyin said those words to her last time, she subconsciously thought that Huo Chiguan's family might not like her.
Huo Shaosi and Gao Ouyi nodded, and then Gao Ouyi opened his mouth first: "How old is Yuxue this year?" β
Lin Yuxue still replied obediently: "Twenty." β
Hearing this, Huo Shaosi couldn't help but glance at Huo Chiguan.
Huo Chiguan is 27 years old this year, but Lin Yuxue is only 20 years old, the age difference between the two is indeed a bit big, can they really get along with each other?
Gao Ouyi had already done an investigation, so he already knew Lin Yuxue's age, and at this time, he said: "It's a few years younger than Leng Yun." β
Suddenly hearing an unfamiliar name, Lin Yuxue was a little curious, but Huo Chiguan's face changed slightly, and his gaze at his mother was a little sharp.
What is Zhao Lengyun doing at this time?
Zhao Lengyun is the only daughter of the Zhao family, a friend of the Huo family, two years younger than Huo Chiguan, and now she is still studying in Europe, and it is no surprise that she will return to China this year.
If Huo Chiguan hadn't proposed to Lin Yuxue on his own initiative, Gao Ouyi and Huo Shaosi would have hoped that Zhao Lengyun would become Huo Chiguan's marriage partner.
It just so happened that it was precisely because of this relationship that Huo Chiguan had to finalize his relationship with Lin Yuxue earlier, even if she was only 20 years old, he proposed to her early.
"Yuxue, accompany your aunt to take a walk outside, okay?" Gao Ouyi took in the changes in Huo Chiguan's gaze, but he only didn't see it, and then said to Lin Yuxue.
Lin Yuxue nodded a little nervously: "Okay." β
Gao Ouyi smiled at her, Lin Yuxue walked to her side, and the two walked out together.
Behind him, Huo Chiguan couldn't help frowning and looked at Huo Shaosi: "Mom, what are you going to do?" β
Huo Shaosi shook his head and said to him, "You come up too, I have something to say to you." β
After speaking, Huo Shaosi walked upstairs, Huo Chiguan paused, and followed.
Not far from where the four of them were standing just now, Tian Xingcai witnessed everything, watching Lin Yuxue follow Huo Chiguan's mother out, and when Huo Chiguan followed his father upstairs, he quickly had his own speculation in his heart.
Could it be that Huo Chiguan's parents don't approve of Yuxue?
Tian Xingcai's mood was very complicated, his eyes followed Lin Yuxue's back from afar, and a little worry appeared in his eyes.
On a summer night, with a refreshing cool breeze, it should be pleasant to walk on the path lined with flowers.
But at this time, although Lin Yuxue was calm on her face, she was very nervous in her heart, so she was naturally in no mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
It was Gao Ouyi who was attracted by the flowers in the courtyard.
This house was purchased by Huo Chiguan a few years ago, and she naturally came to it. Gao Ouyi knew very well that Huo Chiguan had no interest in flowers and plants since he was a child, and there was only a lawn in this courtyard before, and flowers had never been planted. But now, this courtyard seems to be full of flowers, and all the gardenias that ordinary people don't use for landscapes are clear.
"Are these flowers planted by Chiguan for you?" Gao Ouyi seemed to open his mouth casually, but there was a bit of seriousness between his eyebrows.
Lin Yuxue wasn't sure, so she said, "Auntie, I don't know very well, this is the first time I've come here today." β
"Oh? First time here? Didn't I bring you here before? Gao Ouyi seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and his expression was a little surprised.
Lin Yuxue nodded.
Seeing Lin Yuxue nodding, Gao Ouyi's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
"This yard is especially beautiful during the day, and Leng Yun also likes to sit there in the afternoon." Gao Ouyi said, pointing to the table and chair next to a flower stand in the courtyard.
The flower stands are a little crowded there, as if they have just been put in recently, and the tables and chairs seem to have been placed there all along.
Looking at it this way, it is inexplicable that people have a feeling that the flower stand wants to compete for a place with the table and chairs.
This is the second time that Gao Ouyi has mentioned the name "Leng Yun", and Lin Yuxue became more and more curious, but she didn't ask.
She could vaguely feel that her presence didn't seem to make Gao Ouyi happy.
But even if Lin Yuxue didn't ask, Gao Ouyi himself planned to mention Zhao Lengyun.
"Yuxue, did Chi Guan tell you about Leng Yun?"
Lin Yuxue shook her head, and suddenly had some bad premonitions in her heart.
Gao Ouyi continued: "Leng Yun is the only daughter of the Zhao family, she grew up with Chi Guan, she is younger than him, and now she is in Italy, and she is about to return to China. β
Lin Yuxue listened quietly, and what appeared in front of her was the image of a well-off and beloved daughter.
In City A, the Zhao family that can be a world friend with the Huo family is estimated to be the Zhao family of the Leju Group, which is the leader in the real estate industry in this province.
"Miss Zhao is very good." Lin Yuxue echoed, but her heart was slightly sour.
By now, she can be regarded as hearing that this Zhao Lengyun in Huo's mother's mouth may be the ideal daughter-in-law in the minds of Huo Chiguan's parents.
Sure enough, Gao Ouyi immediately said: "Leng Yun and Chi Guan have had a good relationship since they were children, so after Chi Guan bought this place, Leng Yun came here to play from time to time every time he returned to China during the holidays. β
Speaking of this, Gao Ouyi paused slightly, and then continued: "Coincidentally, Leng Yun will be back in a few days, and you can also make an appointment to meet." β
Lin Yuxue's heart became more and more sour, and she nodded and said, "Thank you aunt for your kindness, if Miss Zhao is free, I can do it at any time." β
Gao Ouyi was silent for a while, seemingly hesitating, but quickly spoke: "Yuxue, aunt sees that you are also a good child, but aunt thinks that you and Chi Guan are engaged now, which is a little too hasty." β
Lin Yuxue was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "This matter does require the consent of parents." Auntie, I'll talk to Huo Chiguan. β
Gao Ouyi didn't expect Lin Yuxue to be so soft, and when she heard her talk about her parents, she said again: "What about Yuxue, your parents?" Do you know all about it? β
Hearing this, Lin Yuxue was silent for a long time, until the awkward atmosphere gradually spread in the air, she came back to her senses and said softly: "My mother passed away." β
Gao Ouyi couldn't help but be stunned.
She only checked the details of Lin Wei recently, and after finding out Lin Wei, she was already disappointed in Lin Yuxue's background, and she didn't let people check Lin Yuxue's mother anymore.
"Aunt didn't mean it, Yuxue, I hope you don't take it to heart." Gao Ouyi reached out and gently put his hand on Lin Yuxue's shoulder, still a little sorry in the application.
Lin Yuxue raised a smile, shook her head and said, "It's okay aunt." β
Seeing that Lin Yuxue's mood suddenly became significantly lower, even if Gao Ouyi wanted to say something more, he still kept his mouth shut for the time being, feeling a little unbearable.
In fact, Lin Yuxue had already understood what Gao Ouyi was thinking, so she couldn't help but show her sense of loss.
