Chapter 21: The Engagement Banquet (1)
"Huo Zhiguo's mind is very deep, he may hate you in his heart, but with the appearance of a good man on his face, others will not be wary of him."
Sylvia: "This shouldn't include you, right?" ”
Huo Yuhuai shrugged: "Of course, everyone in the entire Huo family knows that Huo Zhiguo is ambitious, how can he be willing to be an idle shareholder like this for the rest of his life?" Therefore, he will inevitably attack the position of the Huo family again and again. ”
"There is only one ending between us, either I die or he dies."
Sylvia smiled: "With me, even if you only have one breath left, you will live well." This hotel looks very magnificent, it seems that Huo Zhiguo has made a bloody investment this time. ”
Huo Yuhuai: "He has a lot of funds at hand, after all, he has been working hard for so many years. Besides, if the engagement banquet is too stingy, the family will not look good. ”
Sylvia knew that there was a face problem everywhere. The Radiant Continent is, and so is it.
It was a coincidence that they had arrived at a good time, and there was still half an hour before the meal was served, but there were quite a few people in the banquet hall here, and they were talking in twos and threes, listening to the stock futures and so on they were talking about, and Sylvia looked away with no interest.
"It seems that you are still a sweetheart, from the moment you stepped into this banquet hall, I don't know how many people are staring at me, on the contrary, their eyes are very burning when they look at you."
Huo Yuhuai's eyebrows remained unchanged: "It's just an inconsequential person, this kind of gaze with interest calculations makes me feel extremely disgusting." ”
Sylvia smiled, and the fleeting smile dazzled everyone's eyes in an instant. For a while, the male guests were extremely envious of Huo Yuhuai, with such a beauty, how many lifetimes of blessing has it been?
As for the female guests, they also had to retreat before this boundless beauty. No matter how confident they are in themselves, they can't compare with each other after all.
"Huo Zhiguo is there, and the middle-aged man opposite him is Wanfu. Today is not only the engagement banquet of Huo Yuzhou and Wan Yao, but also Huo Yuzhou's birthday, so the banquet starts at noon. ”
Sylvia: "So you didn't prepare any birthday gifts for your cousin's birthday?" ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Although he is young, he has learned enough about Huo Zhiguo, but he is not so scheming now, and some things are not self-adhesive." ”
"I really don't have a good impression of him, after all, this kid has complained a lot before."
Sylvia glanced at him: "You don't look like a person who is bullied, you must have made up for it later, right?" ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Of course, it's just that I'm inevitably a little sad, I do treat him as a younger brother, but he just treats me as a cousin." ”
Sylvia: "It's not born to a parent and a parent, how can it be intimate?" It's just a matter of eating a trench and growing a wisdom, this place is not very clear, and it is closer. ”
Huo Yuhuai took Sylvia to the table near Huo Zhiguo, this place was enough for Sylvia to see the faces of Huo Zhiguo and the others.
After looking at Huo Zhiguo and Wanfu, Sylvia hooked her lips: "It's really as I expected." ”
Huo Yuhuai was curious: "What do you see?" ”
Sylvia, "You'll find out in a moment." ”
The two of them were whispering here, Huo Zhiguo's afterglow had already seen Huo Yuhuai and Sylvia, but he had been pretending not to see it before, and Sylvia had looked at him several times.
Now seeing Huo Yuhuai standing on the nearby table like this, Huo Zhiguo can no longer pretend to be blind. He said hello to Wanfu, and then walked over in a few steps.
"Yu Huai, you're here, who is this?" When I saw it just now, I thought Sylvia was incredible. Now that I have taken a closer look, this extreme impact has made Huo Zhiguo shake his mind.
Huo Yuhuai's face had a detached smile: "This is my friend Wei Ya, I heard that today is my cousin's engagement banquet, so I came here to be happy." ”
I heard that it was a friend rather than a female companion, and the look of affection in Huo Zhiguo's eyes was a little less. It's just that when did such a friend appear around Huo Yuhuai? How did he not know?
Seeing Huo Zhiguo pondering, Sylvia didn't say much to him, just nodded at Huo Zhiguo. She didn't have anything to say to Huo Zhiguo, after all, she already knew about everything she wanted to know.
Huo Zhiguo smiled: "Miss Wei, welcome, I don't know where Miss Wei is now?" ”
Sylvia chuckled: "It's not high, I'm farming in the countryside." ”
Seeing Huo Zhiguo's smile frozen, Huo Yuhuai slightly tilted his head to hide the smile at the corner of his lips, the key is that Sylvia is not talking about the scene, she is indeed farming in the countryside.
Huo Zhiguo was stunned for two seconds: "Miss Wei is really joking." ”
Sylvia smiled: "What I said is true, I do farm in the countryside. ”
Huo Yuhuai played a round field: "Farmers also farm. ”
Sylvia: "The farmer is far from being a small fight. Today you are the protagonists, so I won't bother too much. ”
Huo Zhiguo also got off the donkey: "Yu Huai, greet Miss Wei well, I'll go to greet the other guests first." ”
Anyway, this Miss Wei is really weird, she really farmed in the countryside at a young age? Why did Huo Yuhuai's vision fall to this point? But it's okay to make it easier for him to plan.
Seeing that the aura around Huo Zhiguo's body was a little more active, Sylvia smiled: "The dog thing is secretly happy at this time." ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Maybe, over the years, he and Fang Hua have racked their brains to stuff people around me, just to make my reputation unpleasant." ”
If he hadn't been able to hold it himself, his reputation would have been rotten over the years. But because of this, it also brought consequences, that is, he would be uncomfortable with the approach of the opposite sex.
But strangely, only by Sylvia's side, he didn't feel that way. Maybe Sylvia didn't have any intentions for him, and sometimes he even thought Sylvia was very kind to him?
Sylvia: "After lunch in a while, find a place for me to meet Huo Zhiguo alone, and you will know everything you need to know by then." There are a lot of people here, and it's hard to do it. ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Okay, everyone will rest in the hotel room after lunch, and we'll go over then." ”
Huo Yuhuai said, Sylvia was naturally in a good mood, she wouldn't give Huo Yuhuai any explanation at this time, and he would understand when the time came. I didn't expect that the spiritual power of the necromancer would come in handy in this world, which was also an unexpected joy.
After all, since Sylvia came to this world, she has never met such a person with blood on her hands, and Huo Zhiguo has really opened her eyes.
"Didn't you say that the world is peaceful? Is this what you mean by peace and tranquility? "Sitting down at the table, Sylvia knocked 0425, how much this little system swore at the beginning.
Unexpectedly, after coming here for a little more than half a year, she encountered these things one after another.
0425: "It's generally peaceful, but everywhere there are blind spots and dark sides......"
The more it spoke, the quieter it became, and the point was that it didn't expect Sylvia to encounter these things. So Sylvia is right, this Huo Yuhuai, he is a troublemaker.
Sylvia snorted, but didn't say anything more. Just watching the dishes being served, her mood was a little delicate. No matter how good the chef is, if the ingredients are not good, it will not work.
At this time, Xiang Yang came over, still holding a thermos cup in his hand. Huo Yuhuai poured a bowl of black rice porridge into her small bowl: "Sister-in-law Huang made it in the morning, I brought it over, you can eat this first." ”
Sylvia was surprised: "You still have this?" How did I not know? ”
Huo Yuhuai: "Just do it, the thermos cup is good, it's still warm at this time." ”
The corners of Sylvia's lips curled, "Yes, very discerning." ”
She did bring a lot of food before she came, but who wants to eat dim sum if she can eat a main meal? It's just that Sylvia didn't expect Huo Yuhuai to be so thoughtful.
Although they brought their own food when they came to the banquet, it was not good to say it, but Silvia and Huo Yuhuai were not people who cared about other people's eyes. Therefore, what Sylvia ate was called a happy one, and as for the dishes at the banquet, she did not move a single chopstick.
Just as she was drinking porridge, she suddenly felt a weight on her knees, and as soon as she lowered her head, she met a pair of round grunting eyes. The boy is only three or four years old, and his clothes are very exquisite, but he looks too thin, so his eyes are extraordinarily big.
Now the child was holding her calves, his chin resting on her knees, and his big eyes staring at her longingly...... Porridge in a bowl. Sylvia moved the spoon, and the boy's eyes moved with the spoon's movements.
"Sister, incense." He sniffed, looking greedy.
No matter how she said it, Sylvia couldn't do what she was eating and watching the child, she glanced at the small bowl in front of Huo Yuhuai, and Huo Yuhuai poured the remaining black rice porridge into the small bowl with great interest.
"Go to my brother's for porridge." Moving her calves, Sylvia was a little uncomfortable with being held like this by the cub.
The child let go of Sylvia as she said, and turned around in front of Huo Yuhuai. Looking at the three-headed little bean ding, Huo Yuhuai twisted his eyebrows and sat down on his knees with him.
This kid has a good tutor, and he eats well with a spoon, Huo Yuhuai just needs to support his little body. Just took a bite, and the child's eyes lit up, "Good ......"
Sylvia paused with a spoon: "What's the situation with this child?" ”
0425: "He has a very sensitive sense of smell and taste, and it is difficult to eat ordinary food." ”
Sylvia: "I don't want to raise a cub, if he wants to eat something else, he can go to a few stores in Jinmanlou to eat, and the ingredients there are only a few points worse than mine." ”
She would have been a little more patient with the child, but she didn't have the heart of the Virgin to take care of the child when she saw that it was pitiful. At first glance, people's families are not bad for money, so they need her to take care of them?
Besides, she has a lot of secrets of herself, and she has endured the extra Huo Yuhuai by her side, and she really doesn't want to have more people, even if it's a little cub.
At Sylvia's place, he rubbed a small half bowl of black rice porridge, and the boy was still a little unsatisfied after eating, and his big eyes looked at Sylvia's bowl from time to time.
Sylvia's eyes hurt when she saw it, and she casually took out a small box from her bag: "That's all I have for it, you can play by yourself." ”
What she gave was the biscuit box that Sister-in-law Huang packed in the morning, and with the staple food as a base, dim sum was not so important to her. At most, she secretly eats some fruit in the afternoon? Anyway, in the room at that time, no one else knew what she had done.
Looking at the small cookie box, the boy suddenly showed a smile: "Thank you, sister, thank you, brother." ”
Huo Yuhuai was a little unhappy: "I didn't bring much......
When the boy heard this, he immediately hugged the biscuit box, and stared at Huo Yuhuai with extra vigilant eyes. Huo Yuhuai was helpless, "You little guy, you are quite protective of food." ”
Holding the boy's armpits, Huo Yuhuai put him on the ground: "Go play by yourself." ”
Boy: "Thank you, sister, I'll go first." ”
The child disappeared in three or two clicks, and Sylvia smiled and ate her black rice porridge again. The people sitting at this table are basically the business partners of the Huo family, and since she and Huo Yuhuai sat down, there have been all kinds of bright and secret eyes looking at her.
When the child was there, they didn't say anything, and as soon as the child ran away, someone asked: "Yu Huai, this is ......?"
Huo Yuhuai smiled: "This is my friend Wei Ya." ”
A middle-aged man smiled, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”
Huo Yuhuai turned to talk about the company, Sylvia had heard it, how could she understand this? Pushing the bowl forward, Sylvia stared at the people in the banquet hall with her head propped up.
At this time, everyone was in their respective seats, and the adjacent main table was naturally Huo Zhiguo and the people of the Wan family. Seeing a pair of young men and women sitting at the main table, the boy looked full of youth, but Silvia always felt a little gloomy in his eyes.
As for the girls, they are also very well-dressed, and at a glance they know that this is the heroine of the engagement banquet in the evening. If you don't look at the calculations behind this, you can be called a talented woman.
Sylvia's mind diverged a little, and the happier she laughed at this moment, the more painful it would be after the engagement feast. She doesn't have the consciousness of bullying the little girl, everything she owes to others in this world has to be repaid, not because it is too old to be regarded as having no such thing.
So what should she say when she sees Huo Zhiguo after luncheon? Lowering her eyelashes, Sylvia pondered her next plans. Thinking that Huo Zhiguo was still looking at herself with that kind of eyes, Sylvia's fingers moved, and at that moment she really wanted to pull out Huo Zhiguo's eyes.
Just as Sylvia was thinking about it, the little boy trotted all the way to the biscuit box until he finally stood in front of a noblewoman. The lady was in a hurry at this moment, and the little grandson suddenly ran out for five or six minutes, why hasn't she come back yet?
