Chapter 73 Tacitly

A few days after Christmas, it is New Year's Day, and the new year also means a new beginning, Yan Ximo decided to erase all his illusions about Pei Huamo and start over!

Anyway, the identity difference between her and Pei Huamo is too big, even if there is no blood relationship between them, but whether it is legal or moral, he is still his uncle.

If he wasn't her uncle, she would still be able to put down her face and pursue him, just like Teacher Xu said, "Men chase women, next mountain." Women chase men, compartment yarn. ”

But there are not so many ifs in the world, in reality she is still his niece, and she has been rejected once, so she really doesn't have the courage to try it a second time.

She was afraid that in the end, she wouldn't even be able to do his niece, so she would have nothing to rely on in this huge Pei family.

Even if her heart hurts, she has no other way.

Calm down and think about it, she felt that she was still more likely to be with Huo Zhiyan, after all, there was no moral and public opinion pressure between the two.

Although she is only a friendship between friends, at least she doesn't hate Huo Zhiyan, and her feelings can be cultivated! Yan Ximo thought so.

After comforting herself, her heart didn't hurt so much, and the wound in her heart would always heal one day, although it would leave a scar.

When Yan Ximo was taken to the beauty room by Pei Li, she couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, her self-healing ability was really good, and she came out to meet another object so quickly.

It's just that she didn't resist because her grandmother attached so much importance to it, otherwise she wouldn't want to come to this kind of place, and she was tortured at the bar mitzvah last time.

In fact, what she wanted to tell her grandmother was that Huo Yiyan had seen her ugly appearance, so there was no need to be so troublesome.

But before he could speak, he was instructed by the makeup artist, "Don't move, yes, look down!" ”

Yan Ximo was very helpless to cooperate with the makeup artist's movements, and swallowed the words he wanted to say back into his stomach.

Forget it, she's already here anyway, and there's no point in saying anything, it's just unpleasant.

Thinking of this, Yan Ximo was also relieved, so he simply closed his eyes and was at the mercy of the makeup artist.

Yan Ximo here is actively preparing, but the Huo family is busy.

The two families will soon become in-laws, although this matter has not yet been decided, but it is already a tacit fact for the two families.

The Huo family's parents even prepared a meeting gift for their future daughter-in-law, which shows that they attach great importance to Huo Wei's marriage.

And Huo Yiyan also dressed up ceremoniously today, and the fine bangs on his forehead were also combed, revealing a full forehead, adding a bit of handsomeness to him.

Because of today's good mood, the originally pale face is rendered a little ruddy.

If it weren't for the news of Huo Yiyan's poor health that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, I am afraid that everyone would think that he was a very healthy person.

Huo Yiyan was also very satisfied with his outfit today, although he would usually be a little more indecent in front of her, but on such an important occasion as today, he still hoped to leave a good impression on Yan Ximo.

As time passed, the time for the dinner party was approaching, and there were already guests coming in one after another in the courtyard of the Huo family.

As the host, Huo Zhiyan naturally stood at the door to greet the guests, Huo's mother couldn't bear to have her son working so hard, so she walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Son, go and rest for a while, I am here!" ”

Huo Zhiyan shook his head lightly, indicating that he was fine, "Mom, Ximo hasn't come yet, I'll wait a little longer!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a car stopped at the gate of the Huo family, and an elegant girl stepped out of the car, and Huo Zhiyan's eyes lit up instantly.

From the moment the girl got out of the car, Huo Zhiyan's eyes did not leave her body, and she said to Huo's mother without turning her head: "Mom, Ximo is here, I'll pick her up first!" ”

Before Huo's mother could say anything, Huo Zhiyan had already walked over and helped the girl, leaving Huo's mother alone here to be jealous, "Stinky boy, this daughter-in-law is protecting her like this before she enters the door, and it will be terrible in the future!" ”

Although her tone was complaining, it could be seen from the smile on her face that she still hoped that her son would be happy.

Yan Ximo was still a little uncomfortable when she got out of the car, and every time she wore high heels, she needed to get used to it for a while to walk smoothly.

But soon someone came over to help her, and just wanted to say thank you, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar smiling face.

"Rebellion? How could you ......"

When I just wanted to ask him why he appeared here, his head reacted quickly, Yan Ximo couldn't wait to swallow his tongue, she had originally come to the Huo family to attend the drinking party, and she would ask such an idiotic question?

It's just that Huo Yiyan didn't laugh at him, it seems that today's Huo Yiyan is extraordinarily gentlemanly and extraordinarily gentle, "You carry me in!" ”

For Huo Zhiyan's thoughtfulness, Yan Ximo was a little moved in his heart, grabbed his arms with both hands, and walked inside.

After Yan Xi got out of the car, Pei Li also got out of the car, and Huo Mu immediately greeted her, "Chairman Pei, you are here!" ”

Pei Li glanced at Huo's mother, there seemed to be some information exchanged in her eyes, and then she smiled, "Mrs. Huo is polite!" ”

Today's most important guest has arrived, so Huo Mu sent a maid to greet the guest at the door, and she accompanied Pei Li inside.

Huo Mu and Pei Li walked behind Huo Yiyan and Yan Ximo, looking at the intimate backs of the two people in front of them, they were very pleased.

Huo's mother didn't take Pei Li to the banquet hall, but came to another room, Pei Li didn't ask why, just followed her in.

"Chairman Pei, long time no see, how are you lately?" Father Huo asked with a grin.

"Chairman Toho is worried, my old woman's health is still very good!"

After a few words of greeting, the two sat down, and Pei Li was not in a hurry to speak, and took a sip of the teacup.

"Chairman Pei, I invited you here today to discuss something, so I won't beat around the bush, you have also seen the situation of these two children, our Huo family hopes to marry Ximo as a daughter-in-law!" Huo's mother, who got Huo's father's eyes, said to Pei Li with a smile.

Since the other party had already spoken, Pei Li didn't come to take Qiao, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I'm also looking for a mother-in-law for our family!" ”

The two of them looked at each other tacitly, with a smile in their eyes, but the matter of proposing marriage still had to be the man's family to speak first, "In this case, Chairman Pei, how about our two families be in-laws?" ”

Pei Li put down the teacup in her hand and smiled at Huo Mu. "Okay, good, I think the two children stand together quite well!"

"It's just that I remember that your family is not yet twenty years old, right?"

"Yes, she will be nineteen after the New Year, and it's almost okay, not to mention that I don't know how long my old woman can live, I always have to find a support for this child while I'm still there!"

Pei Li said, with a pity expression on her face, as if she really didn't live long.

Seeing this, Huo's mother hurriedly walked over and comforted: "Chairman Pei, what are you talking about, your old man is in good health, and I hope you can preside over the wedding of your two children in the future!" ”

Pei Li sighed, "I hope too, but it depends on whether God will give me a chance as an old woman!" ”

"Chairman Pei, Ximo is still young now, and as soon as her nineteenth birthday passes, we will let the two children get engaged, and let them get along with each other during this time!"

Hearing Huo Mu's words, a touch of pride flashed on Pei Li's complaining face, and Huo Mu comforted her a few more words, and she recovered from her "sadness".

Something important was being discussed here, but the banquet hall was bustling with activity.

Because the Huo family is also one of the largest enterprises in China, there is no one who does not come to the invitation sent by the Huo family.

In addition, the young ladies and young masters of each family can also take this opportunity to contact each other, so there are still a lot of people in the banquet hall.

Yan Ximo, who was helped in by Huo Yiyan, was still a little nervous when he saw so many people, and Huo Zhiyan next to him seemed to feel the nervousness of the people around him, and patted her hand comfortingly.

"Don't worry, just follow me!"

"Hmm."

Huo Zhiyan walked in with Yan Ximo, and the curious eyes kept being cast around, Yan Ximo became even more nervous, and almost fell, but fortunately he was supported by Huo Zhiyan.

The two of them came to the banquet center, and soon someone came forward to greet Huo Yiyan, but the eyes would stay on Yan Ximo's body curiously.

Yan Ximo looked around uncomfortably, his eyes stayed on that person's body, and he didn't leave for a long time.

That person's back is so familiar!

It wasn't until the person turned around that Yan Ximo was sure, took Laho's hand and whispered, "Rebel, I'll go over there!" ”

Huo Yiyan looked in her direction and nodded clearly, but he was still a little worried about her, and asked intimately, "Do you want me to accompany you?" Can you walk steadily? ”

Yan Ximo nodded, "It's okay, I can walk steadily!" ”

Huo Yiyan also knew how many curious glances he would arouse when he walked with Yan Ximo, so he didn't keep her, "Okay, I'll look for you later!" ”

"Good!"

At this time, someone came over to greet Huo Yiyan, and Yan Ximo took the opportunity to let go of his hand and walked to the side.

After the two separated, although there would still be curious eyes around her, but without Huo Yiyan, those people just glanced at her and stopped paying attention to her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

Walking behind the man, Yan Ximo cautiously patted her on the shoulder, wanting to surprise her, "Sister Wanxin!" ”

But who knew that Du Wanxin was not shocked at all, but waved her hand, "I have seen you a long time ago!" ”

"Huh? I thought I was careful, but I didn't expect to be discovered! Yan Ximo said with some pity.

Du Wanxin turned around and said a little helplessly: "Miss Yan, do you know how much of a sensation you caused when you came in, who let the person standing next to you be Huo Zhiyan!" ”

Yan Ximo stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, and whispered: "It's just that he happened to help me get out of the car, and then he came in together!" ”

Seeing her shy appearance, Du Wanxin laughed playfully: "Just right? I don't think there is such a big coincidence! ”

"Sister Wanxin, it's really just a coincidence, okay!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is okay!"

Although Du Wanxin was teasing her, she was happy for her in her heart, although this Huo Zhiyan was a little weaker, he was still a good person.

Suddenly, Du Wanxin seemed to think of something, took Yan Ximo's hand and asked quietly, "Ximo, is your uncle here today?" ”
