Hao Ritian opened the invitation letter in his hand and looked at it. The characters inside were all handwritten. The person who sent the invitation letter specially sent it to him. Even the invitation letter was sent with a pure white custom-made dress. Quite solemn.
He couldn't help being a little amused, this is what Lao Gong wrote by himself, right
It's a little cute!
Mother Tao couldn't hold back, looked at Hao Ritian and asked tentatively, "Ozawa, do you know Master Huo?"
She didn't plan to bring this illegitimate son to this banquet. The banquet was full of celebrities and people of the same level of status. What's the matter with bringing such an illegitimate son? Wouldn't it be a stain on the bright side for others to laugh at
In fact, there are definitely not a few people who have illegitimate children in their families, but everyone agrees that they will not bring illegitimate children to the public. Naturally, neither will their Tao family. What if this illegitimate child takes this opportunity to broaden his network
Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
Even if there is no such reason, since the operation will be carried out soon, Mother Tao also hopes that the illegitimate child will stay at home to recuperate and do not want any accidents to happen.
But now Mr. Huo specially sent an invitation letter, and it was specially sent to an individual, it is impossible not to let him go, otherwise it will definitely leave a bad impression on the other party!
But such an illegitimate child, with such a previous living environment, how did he come into contact with Mr. Huo without their knowledge
This made Mother Tao very puzzled.
Hao Ritian closed the invitation letter and didn't put it down. He just held it in his hand. Hearing this, he looked back in surprise, "Mr. Huo? I don't know, but if it's Mr. Huo Jiusihuo, I'm considered acquainted, and I still follow him." As you said, Mr. Huo is the buyer who bought my painting, and Mr. Huo was the one who introduced me to a psychiatrist a few days ago, that doctor is very capable, and I have always been very grateful to Mr. Huo. "
Father Tao and Mother Tao immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. No one would have thought that it would be such a coincidence that they just sold a painting, and they got to know Master Huo by such luck
By the way, does Master Huo like painting very much
Never heard of it!
Compared with their doubts, Tao Cheng was very annoyed, because when he went to the hospital two days ago, he forgot to find a doctor for his younger brother, and he took care of himself.
In addition to being annoyed, a sense of crisis suddenly rose in my heart. I always felt that my younger brother was too close to Huo Ye. After all, he had heard of people like Huo Ye. It was impossible for him to look at my younger brother in a different light just because of a painting. to this extent.
Could it be that there is a picture
But what does the little brother have for him to draw, his eyes fell on Hao Ritian's face and turned around, his pupils shrank suddenly, how could he ignore this, the little brother is so good-looking, could Master Huo have taken a fancy to him
This thought made him stand up abruptly, and looked at Hao Ritian with burning eyes, "Little brother, let's not go to the banquet, can you stay at home with me?"
He absolutely wouldn't allow Master Huo to snatch his younger brother away, even if Master Huo was really powerful, that wouldn't work!
Hao Ritian, "..."
What kind of wind is this
But Mother Tao's eyes lit up, she coughed twice, and looked at Hao Ritian suggestively, "Yes, Ozawa, you can accompany your elder brother to rest and take care of your body at home. Didn't the doctor say that your body is weak? Tired and boring, it’s okay if you don’t go.”
If he didn't want to go on his own initiative, then Mr. Huo can't blame them for coming, this is a good way.
Hao Ritian looked at Tao Cheng, and then at Tao's mother. He could guess what Tao's mother thought, but he couldn't understand Tao Cheng. Why did he always feel that Tao Cheng didn't like or avoided it? What about his contact with his old Gong
He thought about it, should he agree or refuse
"This is not very good. Mr. Huo has helped me a lot. I should go to thank him this time. Besides, he even sent me an invitation letter. It would be inappropriate for me not to go."
Of course he refused, why didn't he meet Lao Gong for the sake of these indifferent people, it was a beautiful idea.
He has said so, and it is not good for Mother Tao to deliberately embarrass him at this moment. Tao Cheng still wants to persuade him, but he feels that his ideas are not tenable, so it is not good to just say, 'I am worried about Master Huo. fancy you' huh
With this hesitation, the matter was settled in this way, and the whole family went to the banquet.
…
In the afternoon, Hao Ritian received a call from Huo Jiusi in his room. Huo Jiusi specifically asked him if the dress he sent over fit him. not suitable.
The two of them didn't have much to focus on. They chatted here and there and chatted on the phone for more than an hour. When it was time to hang up, Huo Jiusi was still quite reluctant. Before hanging up, he specifically stated that he would tell him something tomorrow and let him must come.
After hanging up the phone, Hao Ritian looked at the phone page where the call ended, frowned slightly, and told him something
What can he do? Or what can Ruan Ze do
Ruan Ze was fine before that, but now—
It seems that there is only one thing about kidney transplantation!
He suddenly clenched his phone tightly, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. Lao Gong seemed to be coming to give him a godly assist again. He must give him a little bit. After visiting Dr. Han a few more times, he felt that he could overcome his inability to contact people. That's it, not to mention overcoming other people, it's absolutely fine to get in touch with Lao Gong, and you must give him a kiss in time.
He was thinking about beauty, when someone knocked on the door, raised his eyebrows, and walked over to open the door, unexpectedly it was Tao Fei who hated him the most, who came to him.
"What's wrong with me?" He asked suspiciously.
Tao Fei glanced at him in disgust, "I'm just here to tell you, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you know Mr. Huo. Also, you'd better not disgrace our Tao family at tomorrow's banquet, or I will make you look good."
As soon as the ruthless words were finished, Tao Chengcheng appeared. Seeing Tao Cheng, Tao Fei no longer leaned over like before, but gave Hao Ritian a warning look and then walked away. He felt that he had nothing to say to his current big brother. Say it because everything you say is wrong.
Facts have proved that Tao Fei is finally smart for a while.
Because the first thing Tao Cheng asked when he walked up to Hao Ritian was, "Did Xiao Fei come to trouble you again?"
Hao Ritian, "..."
Yes, Tao Fei has lost all credibility with Tao Cheng. Hearing this stern and dissatisfied tone, it's great.
"No, he just came to tell me to pay attention tomorrow and not to lose face. Am I really going to lose face to the Tao family?" His tone was quite disturbed.
—The eye drops are about to be applied, so let Tao Fei babble for the last time.
Sure enough, Tao Chengli immediately turned dark, and looked at the direction Tao Fei was leaving, "This Xiao Fei is really getting more and more outrageous."
When he turned to Hao Ritian, his face became gentle like a magic trick, "Don't listen to his nonsense, how could you lose face? It's too late for big brother to be proud of you. Let those people see how clever and well-behaved I am tomorrow." Little brother, envy them to death."
He has almost forgotten that Hao Ritian was the last thing he wanted to go to the banquet in the first place, now he only cares about showing off.
Hao Ritian forced a smile, "Okay."
Seeing this forced smile, Tao Cheng felt distressed again, and his dissatisfaction with Tao Fei was so deep that he could hardly hide it.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning that day, the Tao family set off from home to Huo's house, and they would arrive almost before eleven o'clock.
Hao Ritian still sits in the passenger seat, which has become a custom. As long as he goes out together, Hao Ritian will always be separated to sit in the front. Usually, Tao Fei always has endless words in Tao Cheng's ear. Chatting non-stop, but the relationship between the two brothers has been tense these days, Tao Fei feels that the elder brother has changed, always favoring the illegitimate child, and he is no longer willing to talk to him.
No matter how lenient he is, he will always feel chilled when he is reprimanded.
It was too quiet in the car along the way, so I kept this atmosphere and arrived at Huo's house.
When the driver stopped the car, Father Tao and Mother Tao led the three children to Huo's house. There were others with them around, and they would say hello to familiar ones.
"Oh? Which family does this child belong to? He's pretty handsome. Haven't you seen him before?" Someone who saw Hao Ritian asked curiously. After all, he was familiar with him and knew that the Tao family only had two children. , suddenly one more, inevitably a little curious.
The elegant smile on Mother Tao's face froze without a trace, and she knew that this would happen, so she didn't want to bring anyone.
She was still thinking about whether to deal with it casually, but Tao Cheng had already replied first, "This is my little brother Ruan Ze, little brother, this is Aunt Gong, mom's friend."
His tone was a little proud and proud, and he was very happy to have such a younger brother.
The stiffness on Tao's father and mother's face could not be concealed, Tao Fei looked away long ago, and Aunt Gong, who was asking the question just now, opened her eyes wide in surprise.
They were all clever people, and she could tell from Tao's father and Tao's mother's expression that Tao Cheng could be called a younger brother, but his surname was Ruan, so she knew without thinking that this child was brought back from outside.
She was a little annoyed at her talkativeness, but she was really curious. Based on her understanding of Wanwan, she didn't seem like someone who could make an illegitimate child enter the house. It was really not easy to make the most promising eldest son of the Tao family so friendly.
"So that's the way it is, um, he looks like a well-behaved child." Aunt Gong said nothing but this is really bad.
Tao Cheng, however, felt empathy for her praise, as if he was the one being praised, and his expression became more and more proud.
Aunt Gong took a panoramic view of all this and felt that she was a little confused.
During this period, Father Tao and Mother Tao could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and they were completely prepared to be ashamed.
Fortunately, they had already arrived at Huo's house while they were talking. Huo Jiusi, who was waiting at the door, had been visiting frequently. After several times, he didn't see the person he wanted to see. It was too late to wait for someone to come over, so he strode directly towards Hao Ritian.
Huo Jiusi deliberately waited at the door to make the guests who had already arrived very curious, curious about which important figure could make Mr. Huo so fancy, so he did not hesitate to wait at the door himself, so after seeing him move, almost all eyes followed him Moved.
After seeing him stop in front of a young man, his expression was a little surprised, and the guests who recognized the Tao family wondered, when did the Tao family get so close to Mr. Huo
Various speculations surfaced in everyone's minds, but Huo Jiusi didn't care at all. Seeing Hao Ritian wearing the clothes he personally chose, his eyes were full of surprise and amazement, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, "Xiao Ze , you are here, come in with me."
Aunt Gong looked at Master Huo who came forward, her expression was more surprised than those who were secretly paying attention. Just now she was wondering why the Tao family even brought an illegitimate child together, but now even Master Huo treats this child Looking at it differently, is there something special about this child that she hasn't noticed
But she looked left and right, except that she was a little handsome, she was no different from ordinary children!
Even the Tao family saw Huo Jiusi's reaction to Hao Ritian for the first time. Even a banquet had to wait at the door to pick up people. There was a difference between seeing and hearing. Seeing this scene, Tao's mother suddenly felt Feeling a little uneasy.
On the contrary, Tao Cheng was secretly on guard, planning that if Master Huo really disregarded his face and attacked his younger brother, then he might take his younger brother away even if he tried to offend him.
Hao Ritian didn't care about other people's opinions at this time, and he couldn't help but feel happier with Lao Gong's reaction, and even his eyes softened a little, "Okay."
After he responded, Huo Jiusi walked directly beside him and took him to the reception hall. This side-by-side posture proved that he treated Hao Ritian as an equal, which was surprising. Instead, it was the Tao family who was traveling with Hao Ritian. Didn't get even a straight look from him.
After arriving in the hall, Huo Jiusi still only paid attention to Hao Ritian, and the other guests were free to be received by other members of the Huo family. This extremely special treatment made many people full of curiosity about Hao Ritian, including You Dali, who was in charge of security.
He stood in the corner and touched his chin. No wonder Mr. Huo didn't want him to follow him when he went out a while ago. Now it seems that he would be an eyesore if he followed him. If he didn't want the driver to drive, maybe Mr. Huo didn't even want the driver, right? !
He felt that he was the truth.
But the person in the whole hall who paid the most attention to Huo Jiusi and Hao Ritian was a woman with a literary atmosphere. The woman looked to be in her twenties, and she looked pretty and pleasant. At this time, her face was so long that the friends next to her guessed that she looked ugly. Find the reason, after all, those who are familiar with her know that she is very obsessed with Huo Ye, and now suddenly seeing Huo Ye who has an attitude towards everyone suddenly treats a young man so well, no matter what the reason, she will not be happy.
Originally thinking that she would be unhappy, she would not do anything, but just after thinking about it, she saw her walking straight over there with a glass of red wine.
"Qinxin..." She wanted to stop her friend, for fear that she would do something unreasonable and difficult to end, but as soon as she opened her mouth, he was already walking away.
It's not that Shu Qinxin didn't hear her friend calling her, and she also knew what she wanted to say, but she couldn't listen. At this moment, she only had that Huo Ye who was different from the usual one, with soft and gentle brows and eyes. She wanted that The person being watched is yourself, even if it is only for a short while.
Looking down at the wine glass in her hand, her eyes flashed brightly, then she raised her head, with a gentle smile on her face, walked to Huo Jiusi and Hao Ritian, she greeted Huo Jiusi and Hao Ritian with a smile, "Huo Hello, my name is Shu Qinxin. Some time ago, you and my father went to the painting gallery. When my father came back, he said that you praised my oil painting very much. He never had time to say thank you to Mr. Huo. I finally saw Master Huo this time, so I wanted to come and say thank you to Master Huo, and I hope Master Huo would not bother you too much."
She is very confident in her appearance, and confident that Master Huo will have a deeper impression on her.
The truth is, Huo Jiusi is very unhappy when someone interrupts his time alone with his sweetheart, and he is still a woman who doesn't know what to say, which makes him so unhappy that his brows furrow slightly.
Hao Ritian looked at Shu Qinxin with great interest, the admiration in this woman's eyes should not be too obvious, it's interesting, someone actually thinks about him in front of him
Turning his gaze to Huo Jiusi, he wanted to see what he wanted to do with it.
How else could Huo Jiusi deal with it? His method was extremely simple and straightforward, and he said directly to Shu Qin, "You have already disturbed me."
Shu Qinxin's face froze, Mr. Huo is too unmannered, isn't he
——Obviously knowing what kind of person Huo Jiusi is, but still wanting to get along with him, and even despising him for his lack of manners, that's great!
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Hao Ritian seemed to be holding back a smile. She was so angry that she tried to suppress it several times before she could burst out. She forced a smile, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. Walk."
She looked a bit embarrassed. When she turned around, her feet suddenly became unsteady and she fell towards Huo Jiusi. Huo Jiusi frowned even harder, and easily avoided it. She wanted to hide with Hao Ritian, but she still missed her. Seeing the scene where he was 'disgusted' for the first time, he hesitated for a while, but Shu Qinxin fell to the ground with a slap, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. A lot of the red wine splashed on Hao Ritian.
There was silence.
Huo Jiusi immediately looked at Hao Ritian, seeing his frown because of the wine stains on his white dress, he immediately said, "Xiao Ze, shall I take you to change?"
Hao Ritian looked at the wine stains on his trouser legs, couldn't bear to look directly away, and said patiently, "Okay."
In fact, he also wanted to avoid it, but he really didn't expect that such a smart-looking woman would do such a thing in front of so many people. Everyone is not a fool, who can't see it if it is so obvious come out
Before taking Hao Ritian away, Huo Jiusi said to You Dali who rushed over, "Miss Shu, please leave."
After Huo Jiusi and Hao Ritian left the hall, the discussion of the people in the banquet hall sounded, and these discussions pierced Shu Qinxin's heart like a sharp knife, making her angry and ashamed, and even the courage to stand up was lost. No.
You Dali still asked politely from the side, "Miss Shu, how are you?"
Shu Qinxin's face was flushed red, and no matter how much she wanted to escape from reality, she couldn't lie here all the time. She felt that her knees were all worn out when she fell just now. This embarrassing scene will definitely be publicized. She must It would become the biggest laughing stock of this banquet, which made her regret why she didn't find a place where no one was around to talk to Master Huo again.
And the young man who made Master Huo treat him differently dared to make fun of her. She must let her father look good to him.
With her hands on the ground, Shu Qinxin crawled up slowly, and her friend who was with her just now trotted over and helped her up.
The father who was expected by Shu Qinxin finally came late. He just went to the bathroom. When he came out, he found that the atmosphere in the hall was not right. He planned to find someone he knew well to ask about the situation. He took the initiative to find her, and told him everything about what his daughter did just now and the fact that Master Huo had asked her out.
Shu Bin's eyes darkened. He had told his daughter to stop thinking about Master Huo. They were not suitable. His daughter clearly agreed well, so he brought her to today's banquet. As a result, she threw herself Forgot everything you said? !
Quickly looking where everyone was looking, he saw his daughter standing up with the help of a friend, looking as embarrassed as she could, he was so angry that he rushed up quickly.
When he was rushing over, he heard You Dali politely say to his daughter, "Since Miss Shu is fine, please go ahead, and please don't make things difficult for me."
He made a motion to invite people out.
Seeing that her daughter was still not convinced and wanted to open her mouth, Shu Bin interrupted her in time, "Okay, Qin Xin, you come with Dad, and your injury needs to be dealt with, be obedient."
His expression was unprecedentedly serious, and Shu Qinxin was taken aback, because this father was always gentle and patient with her, such a serious father made her subconsciously follow him away.
Before leaving, Shu Bin asked You Dali to convey his apology to Mr. Huo, and he would teach his daughter a good lesson, telling him not to care about a young girl, You Dali smiled and agreed.
After the father and daughter left, what should happen to the banquet hall? The little episode just now didn't make them remember for long, but all the guests once again deeply realized how much Mr. Huo loved the young man who came with the Tao family. Take it seriously.
Hearing the people around him start talking about the younger brother, Tao Cheng's face was flickering. Just now he thought the younger brother would be troubled, so he wanted to go over to have a look, but he took a step before Huo Ye took the younger brother away .
Different from other people's envy of Mr. Huo's attention to his younger brother, the more Mr. Huo valued his younger brother, the more uneasy he became. After waiting for a while and not coming out again, he finally couldn't hold back, and found an excuse to leave the hall, but asked Huo Jiusi He took the direction where the people left and looked for it.
And at this time, Hao Ritian had just changed into the clothes that Huo Jiusi had brought for him, and after changing them, he still felt that they fit perfectly. Was this specially prepared for him to wear at home
