Chapter 223: Extreme Reversal of Attitude
Gu Xiaoxi didn't know about the last time Mrs. Huo was on her birthday, and she missed the period of giving gifts, so when she went to see the old lady tomorrow, Gu Xiaoxi wanted to bring some gifts over.
Of course, this gift is to be favored.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't know what Old Madam Huo liked, so he wanted to consult Huo Beiye.
But who knew that when it came to Mrs. Huo's matter, Huo Beiye looked unhappy, let alone provide her with any effective information.
In desperation, Gu Xiaoxi had no choice but to ask Old Man Huo.
"She, she usually likes to collect some beautiful things, what jade, pearls, anyway, as long as it is crystal clear, she likes it.
When you give a gift, your mind is enough, and you don't have to put so much thought into it. ”
Mrs. Huo especially likes the new and hates the old, and Old Man Huo still remembers it now.
He gave the old woman a pearl necklace, and she was so happy that she showed off to her little sisters all day, but the next day when he gave the jade, the pearl necklace fell out of favor.
In short, Mrs. Huo's mind is too difficult to figure out, and sometimes Old Man Huo doesn't know what she thinks.
After having a clue, Gu Xiaoxi spent half a day preparing gifts for Old Madam Huo that she might like.
Although the gift was carried by her alone, the mind belonged to her and Huo Beiye.
Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Youyou went to the old mansion, it was not sent by Huo Beiye and Huo Yaoming, when Mrs. Huo asked people to send them news, she said that she would send a car to pick them up, so there was no need for the two of them to bother.
Of course, Huo Beiye was not at ease, so he asked Xiaomei to follow along.
"You just need to remember, the world is big, your wife is the biggest, and everything else doesn't matter, you just need to protect your wife."
"Don't worry, Mr. Huo."
"Can I trust you?"
It's no wonder Huo Beiye is not at ease, as far as Xiaomei's thin arms and legs are concerned, if something really happens, it is enough to help her block it.
"Okay, Huo Beiye, the car has come, then Xiaomei and I will leave."
Mrs. Huo was fair, and the car sent out to pick up the two was of the same brand.
When Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Youyou got out of the car, the housekeeper was already waiting for them outside.
"Two, the old lady has been waiting for you inside for a long time, come with me."
Gu Youyou was also accompanied by two maids, and it seemed that he was also worried that this trip would not be safe.
The two followed the housekeeper to a large garden at the back of the old mansion, where Mrs. Huo was standing and pruning the branches and leaves.
"Old lady, the two of them are here."
After a report, Mrs. Huo took off her gloves.
Old Madam Huo turned around and waved her hand to the butler, and then led the two of them to sit down on the chair next to her.
On the white table, there are various sweets and fruits.
"Nervous to let you come over suddenly, aren't you?"
I haven't seen each other for a long time, Gu Xiaoxi found that Old Madam Huo's attitude seemed to be much softer than before, and I don't know if it was her delusion.
Gu Youyou nodded first and said, "Actually, I wanted to accompany the old lady a few days ago, but something happened at home, so it has been delayed until today." ”
While saying these words to Mrs. Huo, they actually connotate Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile on his face: "Ah, that's really a coincidence!" A few days ago, I had some things going on at home, and I haven't been able to take time to see the old lady. Today, I have good news for the old lady. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Old Madam Huo was interested, nodded and asked her to speak.
Gu Xiaoxi didn't speak, just lowered her head and slowly touched her stomach.
Old Madam Huo's eyes widened instantly, and she asked in surprise, "Are you pregnant with this belly?" ”
"Yes."
Gu Youyou almost didn't control the expression on his face, and immediately put on a stiff smile after the difference, "That's really congratulations to sister-sister-in-law." ”
"Rejoice and rejoice."
Mrs. Huo didn't expect that the first time she called two people over to accompany her, she heard such a good news, and there was an unconcealable smile on her face.
She immediately held Gu Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Then why didn't you say it earlier?" If I had known, I would have asked the maid to send you some more supplements.
Huo Beiye, what does a man know, if there is anything you don't know, you ask me, I have heard about it before, so you have to be careful this time. ”
Gu Xiaoxi can determine that this is not her illusion, it is that Old Madam Huo has really become gentle.
But why did he suddenly change his attitude towards her?
Gu Youyou watched Gu Xiaoxi shift all of Old Madam Huo's attention to her, with a displeased expression on her face, but she also had to pretend to be generous.
But after a while, the news of Gu Xiaoxi's pregnancy reached Old Man Huo's ears.
Old Man Huo was playing chess and chatting with a few old friends, and after receiving a call from the housekeeper, he directly left the next sentence of "see you next time" and left.
"You, didn't you go to meet up with some of your old friends? Why did you come back so early? ”
Old Madam Huo was pulling Gu Xiaoxi to chat, and suddenly saw the old man running over, and said curiously.
"What's wrong? I can't come back if you're allowed to be at home? Those old men were playing chess and drinking tea there, and they were bored to death, so they came back early. ”
The butler immediately added a chair to the old man.
"Xiaoxi, are you pregnant?" Old Man Huo asked.
"Huh? Well. ”
How could Old Man Huo know about her pregnancy when she met with friends outside?
Gu Youyou felt like an outsider, jealous of Gu Xiaoxi and aggrieved at the same time.
Obviously she is also pregnant, why doesn't anyone care about her?
