Chapter 177: You Are My Wife
By the time Huo Xiaoting returned to Lu's house with Song Yangfei, Lu Hancheng had already been waiting.
Lu Hancheng saw Huo Xiaoting and Song Yang flying in, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Huo Xiaoting:
"Xiaoting, you're back, what are you doing during the day?"
Lu Hancheng behaved very considerately, and quietly inquired about Huo Xiaoting's schedule during the day. In order to know why Huo Xiaoting met Song Yangfei, but because Song Yangfei was there, Lu Hancheng couldn't ask directly.
Huo Xiaoting knew that what Lu Hancheng wanted to know was about Song Yangfei, but Huo Xiaoting couldn't tell Lu Hancheng, because if he said that he had bought a house, it would inevitably be exposed.
Huo Xiaoting was afraid that Lu Hancheng would know, so she could only think of an excuse to hide it from Lu Hancheng, Huo Xiaoting gestured to Song Yangfei with his eyes while thinking of an excuse, meaning to let him come back with what he said, and not show his stuff.
Although Lu Hancheng didn't see Huo Xiaoting winceing at Lu Hancheng, she also felt the different atmosphere between Song Yangfei and Huo Xiaoting, and Lu Hancheng had more doubts in his heart.
"I met Song Yangfei when I went out shopping today."
Huo Xiaoting casually found a reason, Song Yangfei didn't explain anything too much, just smiled and nodded to indicate that what Huo Xiaoting said was right.
But Lu Hancheng didn't believe this statement:
"Xiaoting, why didn't you call Yu Huan to go shopping, and you met Mr. Song so coincidentally."
Huo Xiaoting knew that Lu Hancheng would not easily believe his words, but for a while, Huo Xiaoting couldn't think of any better reason, Song Yangfei didn't want to see Huo Xiaoting so embarrassed, so he took the initiative to break the siege and said:
"Xiaoting is from our Ruihe shopping mall, I happened to come down to inspect today, I saw Xiaoting, and I wanted to ask how her body is recovering."
Song Yangfei helped Huo Xiaoting think of a more perfect excuse to make their actions more reasonable, even if Lu Hancheng had any doubts in his heart, Song Yangfei had already said so, and Lu Hancheng couldn't say anything more.
Lu Hancheng nodded slightly to indicate that he had understood the situation, and then took Huo Xiaoting's hand and walked towards the house.
Seeing this, Song Yangfei could only follow silently.
Song Yangfei looked at Lu Hancheng holding Huo Xiaoting's hand jealously, he would rather the person holding Huo Xiaoting be himself, but at present, this wish is still difficult to achieve.
Even though Huo Xiaoting had a lot of plans of his own, Song Yangfei still felt Huo Xiaoting's heart for Lu Hancheng, so it was not suitable to act rashly now.
What Song Yangfei has to do now is to maintain his image as the big brother next door in Huo Xiaoting's mind, as long as he can help Huo Xiaoting when she is in trouble, as for other things, he still has to take his time.
Lu Hancheng took Huo Xiaoting's hand, he didn't mean to demonstrate to Song Yangfei, Lu Hancheng was telling Song Yangfei that Huo Xiaoting was his wife Lu Hancheng.
Although Song Yangfei's mind was not noticed by Huo Xiaoting, Lu Hancheng was clear, Song Yangfei's eyes when he looked at Huo Xiaoting were not the eyes of a brother looking at his sister, but the eyes of a man looking at his beloved woman.
But the sluggish Huo Xiaoting didn't notice all this, she just thanked Song Yangfei for being able to help her, of course Lu Hancheng also knew this, so Lu Hancheng couldn't do anything to Song Yangfei now.
Lu Hancheng was not afraid that Song Yangfei would retaliate against him, what he cared about was always Huo Xiaoting's feelings.
When Song Yangfei was brought to Lu's house, Lu Hancheng motioned for Song Yangfei to sit on the sofa in the living room:
"Does Mr. Song drink tea?"
Lu Hancheng asked Song Yangfei what he wanted to drink, and Song Yangfei nodded, saying that he could drink tea by himself.
Lu Hancheng took out the big red robe he had collected before, cleaned the tea set, and slowly made a cup of tea for Song Yangfei:
"Mr. Song tastes this tea, this is something I got through a relationship, not whether Mr. Song will like it."
Song Yangfei picked up the teacup and put it under his nose and smelled it, a faint fragrance of tea poured into the tip of his nose, Song Yangfei sighed in his heart:
Sure enough, it's good tea.
Song Yangfei took a sip slowly, the entrance was a little bitter at first, and the slow aftertaste was sweet, and the fragrance of tea was also between his lips and teeth, which was really rare.
Lu Hancheng also made a cup for Huo Xiaoting, Huo Xiaoting had also practiced the tea ceremony hard before in order not to make a fool of himself, so he naturally knew a thing or two.
Huo Xiaoting drank a cup of tea and slowly enjoyed this cup of tea.
Lu Hancheng chatted with Song Yangfei about business again:
"Mr. Song returned to China for development, and I don't know what fields he will be involved in besides real estate."
Hearing Lu Hancheng's question, Huo Xiaoting immediately pricked up his ears and wanted to hear about their plans.
Song Yangfei didn't plan to hide it, after all, Lu Hancheng was no worse than himself in business, and half of the economy of H City belonged to their Lu family, so naturally there was nothing to hide.
"In the past, our Song family was mainly engaged in real estate, and then we may be involved in some entertainment companies and retail things."
Lu Hancheng nodded thoughtfully after listening, it is true that the Lu family and the Song family have high-end shopping malls, but one of the high-end shopping malls needs traffic, and the second one is relatively slow.
If he was involved in a large-scale retail business, Lu Hancheng felt that it should be a more profitable industry, but Lu Hancheng couldn't understand why Song Yangfei wanted to get involved in entertainment.
"I don't know if Mr. Song has any intention to invest in entertainment."
Although Lu Hancheng has a controlling stake in the entertainment company and a number of newspapers in H City, the Lu family's focus is not on this.
Song Yangfei is involved in entertainment just because the industry is currently developing well, and the capital is also expanding greatly:
"It's just a small fight, and a friend of a company wanted to pull me to invest, so I wanted to give it a try."
Song Yangfei is actually a way out for Huo Xiaoting, judging from Huo Xiaoting's sale of a house and an apartment, as well as the last lecture, Song Yangfei has also noticed that Huo Xiaoting has the will to do so.
The risk of investing in an entertainment company is relatively small, and then bringing out a popular artist, although it can't make a lot of money, it is also a business that makes sure that it doesn't lose money.
Lu Hancheng didn't think about competing with Song Yangfei for anything, first, the status of the Lu family is not something that Song Yangfei can shake, but Lu Hancheng has no interest in the entertainment industry, just a few polite words:
"Mr. Song also has a vision, and I hope we can cooperate if we have the opportunity."
What Lu Hancheng said is true, out of personal feelings, Song Yangfei is indeed his rival, but for the company, if there is such a partner as Song Yangfei, it is a good thing.
Song Yangfei didn't have any objection to cooperating with Lu Hancheng, but nodded:
"Of course, I hope to cooperate with Mr. Lu if I have the opportunity."
After listening to their conversation, Huo Xiaoting also had his own plans in his heart, and after the matter of the house was finalized, Huo Xiaoting had to quickly plan various problems of investment, after all, Huo Hong had to bear all kinds of expenses abroad, and Huo Xiaoting did not have the confidence to let Lu Hancheng pay for this comparison.
Lu Hancheng didn't know what Huo Xiaoting was thinking, if he knew that Lu Hancheng would definitely tell Huo Xiaoting that he didn't care about the money, but Huo Xiaoting had no way to accept it with peace of mind.
Especially Huo Xiaolan was also sent out by her, Huo Xiaoting was definitely embarrassed to let Lu Hancheng pay this amount of money in Huo Xiaolan's matter, after all, Huo Xiaolan had also caused a lot of trouble to the Lu family before.
Just when the three of them had their own thoughts, Aunt Zhou appeared and said that the meal was ready.
Lu Hancheng got up and invited Song Yangfei:
"Mr. Song can have dinner, Aunt Zhou has made some home-cooked food, and I hope Mr. Song will not dislike it."
Of course, Song Yangfei doesn't feel anything, and he is not a person who is heavy on appetite. After everyone sat down, Aunt Zhou brought another cup of bird's nest and put it in front of Huo Xiaoting.
Huo Xiaoting now had a headache when she saw bird's nest, and she looked at Lu Hancheng with her eyes open and pleading:
"Can you stop drinking?"
Lu Hancheng didn't eat this, and rejected Huo Xiaoting categorically:
"Nope."
Huo Xiaoting was deflated all of a sudden, and the whole person looked unrefreshed in the morning, as if he was eating bird's nest in a daze.
Song Yangfei couldn't bear to see Huo Xiaoting like this, and wanted to open his mouth to speak for Huo Xiaoting, but he desperately suppressed himself in his heart, because he had no position to tell Lu Hancheng not to do this.
Lu Hancheng saw the expression on Song Yangfei's face, and naturally knew what he meant, so he opened his mouth to explain:
"After Xiaoting was kidnapped before, she refused to stay in the hospital for a long time, I was worried about her health, so I asked Aunt Zhou to stew a cup of bird's nest for her to drink every day, but Xiaoting is tired of drinking now, and always wants to cheat."
Although Lu Hancheng said so, his tone was slowly full of spoiling, and Song Yangfei couldn't help but clench his fists.
Huo Xiaoting heard Lu Hancheng say this about himself, and immediately retorted:
"Whoever cheats, no one can drink it every day, how can they get tired."
Huo Xiaoting looked angry, Lu Hancheng only felt very cute when he saw it, and he couldn't help but want to tease her more.
Lu Hancheng pinched Huo Xiaoting's puffy face:
"Who told you not to be observed in the hospital for a longer period of time, so that no one can worry about your physical condition when you come back."
Huo Xiaoting knew that Lu Hancheng was also caring about himself, so he didn't say anything more, just lowered his head and drank bird's nest silently, Lu Hancheng was very satisfied when he saw Huo Xiaoting so obedient.
And Song Yangfei, who was watching the two flirting like this at the dinner table, had already overturned the vinegar jar in his heart, and he wished that the person who pinched Huo Xiaoting's face was himself.
Song Yangfei looked at all this jealously, but also told himself to be patient, if he didn't endure at this time, then he might never have a chance.
Of course, Huo Xiaoting didn't know Song Yangfei's inner thoughts, nor did he know the secret rivalry between these two men.
