"Let's go, then." She got up, walked over to him, and reached out to straighten his bow tie. Straightening the folds in his suit, he smiled and proposed, "Why don't you try other clothes?" It's more appropriate to be so serious when you go to work, and to be so serious when you get off work, when you see your parents, you can dress more casually. ”

Huo Yiran raised his eyebrows and gently held her hand, the soft touch like silk made him a little more relaxed from the somewhat tense atmosphere, and he spoke, with a little doting in his words.

"What? Do you want to see me look in casual clothes? ”

Lu Chaonuan saw the smile on the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and knew that he was teasing himself, and instantly two crimson blushes appeared on his cheeks, and he lowered his head, and his voice was a little quieter.

"You, what do you say? You can do whatever you want, it doesn't matter. It's good to be comfortable. ”

"Since you want to see it, then I'll show it to you." After Huo Yiran finished speaking, he really turned around and went back to the fitting room to change into a new set of clothes.

A casual outfit sets off his sunny and handsome, leaving aside the rigorous and unapproachable attitude of the past, and now he looks like a big brother next door.

Lu Chaonuan looked at it and forgot to shift his gaze, so he was stunned all the time.

If it weren't for Huo Yiran stretching out his hand and waving it in front of her, she wouldn't have reacted.

"Let's go." Huo Yiran had an inexplicably satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, and took the initiative to reach out for her to hold it. Seeing Lu Chaonuan obviously smiling with his head down, he only felt a burst of relaxation in his heart. Walk outside with her.

——

Huo Yiran made an appointment with the second elder of the Huo family to have dinner at a high-end restaurant in the city, and when the two of them arrived, the second elder of the Huo family was already seated.

I don't know how long I waited, but when I saw Lu Chaonuan, the second elder's gaze obviously became indifferent. The attitude of not wanting to see this daughter-in-law is obvious, which makes people feel a kind of inexplicable pressure unconsciously.

If it weren't for Huo Yiran by his side, the momentum on his body obviously overpowered the second elder, and Lu Chaonuan suspected that he wouldn't be able to move his steps towards the dining table at all. Huo Yiran pulled out the chair very intimately, let her sit down, and sat beside her.

"Yiran, I thought about the company you mentioned to me last time, and you come with me."

The two of them had just taken their seats for a few seconds before Mr. Huo stood up and said to Huo Yiran.

Lu Chaonuan glanced at Huo Yiran nervously, not wanting him to leave at this time. As long as people with brains think about it a little, they all know Mr. Huo's intentions. It's at this time. She needed him to accompany her the most, because the sight of Old Madam Huo on the other side was really a bit infiltrating.

But Huo Yiran, as a son, has no way to ignore his father, let alone when it comes to work problems, he must leave.

He glanced at Lu Chaonuan, his indifferent expression and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be silently telling her not to be afraid.

Looking at the back of Huo Yiran and the old gentleman leaving together, Lu Chaonuan unconsciously clasped her hands tightly together and bit her lower lip, she knew that she was the only one to face the next battle. There are some things that can't be escaped, and they can only be - not to mention, this meeting was 'requested' by her own initiative.

"Miss Lu, what's wrong? Just so dependent on our family? The voice of the old lady Huo came from the opposite side, Lu Chaonuan was stunned, and accidentally scratched the back of her hand, she endured the fear and pain, held on to a smile, and turned her head to look at the old lady opposite.

Mrs. Huo is still as noble and elegant as when she first met, wearing a high-end brand custom suit, her skin is well maintained, and she can't tell what age she is. The makeup on her face is exquisite, but with her serious expression and sharp eyes, everyone who looks at her can't help but become serious.

Lu Chaonuan's smile slowly converged and became rigorous.

"Since they are about to enter the Huo family as a daughter-in-law, I hope you understand some etiquette, right?"

Old Madam Huo looked at her, and her voice was a little infiltrating with indifference. Or rather, a little deliberately mean.

Lu Chaonuan didn't dare to respond, just looked at her. Cautious, as well-behaved as a child who obediently obeys the arrangements of adults.

Old Madam Huo did not feel the slightest gentleness because of her well-behavedness, and her words were still mean.

"If you want to become the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, the first thing is to pass my test." Old Madam Huo clasped her hands in front of her chest and continued with an indifferent expression. "My daughter-in-law of the Huo family has three major elements, one is self-cleaning in body and family background, but I heard that Miss Lu just came out of prison some time ago."

Lu Chaonuan's expression became complicated, and she bit her lower lip lightly. Originally, this was a bad memory, but I didn't expect Mrs. Huo to deliberately not open which pot to mention.

She knew that Old Madam Huo couldn't get used to herself, but she didn't expect to keep mentioning this topic.

She doesn't know how to refute it, she can't explain it, she was imprisoned because she was deceived by a scumbag, right?

In this way, it will only get darker and darker.

And this is not the end of the topic, Mrs. Huo has already found a bunch of reasons to persuade her to quit. And that topic is just the first step of the test.

Mrs. Huo has been in a wealthy family for so many years, and she has long been accustomed to seeing the wind and rain, Lu Chaonuan's expression only changed slightly, she has already grasped Lu Chaonuan's death hole, and continues to use it, and continues to pursue the victory.

If you don't achieve your goal, you will never give up that attitude, and continue to say domineering words.

"Miss Lu, the first point above made me and my husband very dissatisfied. You know very well, the most important thing for a wealthy family is the issue of reputation, if you let a female prisoner like you who has been in prison enter my Huo family. Won't the Huo family become a joke in the eyes of everyone in the future? ”

Mrs. Huo's words were heartbroken, and the word imprisonment weighed on her heart like a boulder.

The words are not over yet, there are too many things that Old Madam Huo wants to pursue.

"And I heard that Miss Lu made me fall into your trap because she did some tricks at the beginning, and the last time on the day of the wedding hall, what was detected in that bottle of water - I think Miss Lu should know very well what it is, right?"

“……”

"Don't you explain?"

"I didn't." Lu Chaonuan said with certainty, she knew that Old Madam Huo would not believe it, but she would still say so. Because that's the truth.

"Well, this has happened, and I don't have to pursue it. As for the fact that you've been to prison—"

Lu Chaonuan only felt that the atmosphere was wrong, but she had no way to refute it. After all, she was the one who was wrong, and Old Madam Huo just caught her death.

Lu Chaonuan bit his lower lip and couldn't say a word.

Looking at the old lady Huo who was high on the opposite side, Lu Chaonuan only felt that he was in front of her at this moment, like a poor and pathetic wild dog.

You can't find the right to be cherished, and you don't have the right to be pitied.

Lu Chaonuan felt how ridiculous he was, but there was nothing he could do.

Old Madam Huo was still staring at her, with a cruel and ruthless gaze like a falcon, staring at Lu Chaonuan tightly, and became a pitiful prey.

Lu Chaonuan was under a lot of pressure, as long as Mrs. Huo spoke, she would lose the last straw and fall into the abyss.
