No matter what, she didn't want this incident to affect their relationship. Although she kept convincing herself in her heart, the eye-catching headline in the magazine and the two people's smiling faces were so glaring!
Once something happens, the more you try to pretend that you don't care, the more it becomes like a thorn in your heart, making you uneasy.
Yu Wenyin found the magazine cover extremely dazzling, but someone was holding the cover magazine as if they were holding a wedding photo and was very happy.
"Shufang, congratulations. I heard that Ning Hao and Miss Huo are in love?"
"What do you mean by hearsay? It's the truth! The gossip magazines even took pictures of her. The eldest daughter of the Huo family is so beautiful. Standing next to Ning Hao, they are a perfect match!"
"Yes, I have long said that Ning Hao is a promising person. He has good grades and is filial and sensible since he was a child. Who wouldn't envy Shufang for raising a good son?"
"That's right. Now he's even more powerful. Not only did he join the Huo Group, he also married the daughter of the Huo family."
The compliments and praise from neighbors made Wu Shufang feel elated. She thought her son was excellent!
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. We haven't even started dating yet, let alone getting married!"
Wu Shufang grinned. At this moment, she was being complimented by a group of housewives and was enjoying the treatment like an empress dowager.
Although Wu Shufang doesn't look rich, she is a woman. When she is young, she compares her looks. When she is married, she compares her husbands. When she is old, she compares her children.
Which family wouldn't want a son like Li Ninghao who is ambitious, sensible, filial and capable
A vain Hong Kong housewife like Wu Shufang does not judge whether her daughter-in-law is good or not based on whether the girl is pretty, has a good figure and is fertile, or has a virtuous character.
She just looks at the girl's family background and whether she can help her son with his career.
Although Yu Wenyin is a top student who graduated from the Department of Architecture of the University of Hong Kong, she smuggled here from the mainland with her mother. She is penniless and has not even a relative to rely on in Hong Kong. What kind of help can she provide for her son
Huo Yunyan is different.
She is beautiful and has a good family background. The Huo Group is on a very high level. One-third of the properties in Hong Kong belong to them. Having climbed up such a high branch, is she still afraid that her family will not have a big house to live in in the future
When she thought of this, Wu Shufang wished that her son would marry Huo Yunyan home tomorrow.
On the cover of that gossip magazine, the two of them were smiling so brightly. Although it was not a wedding photo, in Wu Shufang's mind, she had already imagined this photo as a wedding photo.
And ever since the magazine news came out, the phone at home has never stopped ringing.
"Aunt, I heard that my cousin is marrying into the Huo Group. Oh, no, my cousin is dating the eldest daughter of the Huo Group? I just graduated this year. Can you help me ask my cousin to let me find a job in the Huo Group?"
"Shufang, don't be in a hurry to pay back the 100,000 yuan you owe us. We can talk about it later. Come to our house more often when you have time."
"Aunt, my parents said they would go to your house to play tonight, are you free?"
"Shufang, I brought you a lot of local specialties when I went back to the mainland to visit my relatives this time. Are you at home this afternoon? I'll bring them to you."
A poor person in a busy city has no one to care about him; a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.
Wu Shufang was very proud of this first taste of wealth and prosperity.
My family is rich but poor. There is no other way. My three children need to go to school, and my husband and I have little education, so we can only make money by selling our physical labor.
A few years ago, my husband accidentally sprained his waist while carrying heavy bags at the dock, and he owed a lot of medical bills.
But since Li Ninghao started working, the environment at his home has actually become quite good; not as good as some, but better than some.
But that's how people are. If they haven't tasted meat, they won't miss the taste of meat.
Once you have tasted the cooking of a Michelin restaurant chef, how can you still think that meat is delicious just because it is cooked casually
As soon as Li Ninghao got off work, Wu Shufang came over and asked, "Son, what's going on between you and the eldest daughter of the Huo Group? How far have you progressed?"
The same question was asked to another person involved, but the tone and attitude were completely different.
The excitement and excitement on Wu Shufang's face were clearly visible, and the coldness on Zhu Meiling's face could have frozen into a bucket of ice.
Zhu Meiling's face was as cold as ice, but her daughter just looked as if nothing had happened. She didn't know where to start when she wanted to teach her daughter such a heartless person a lesson.
But she is still his own daughter. Even if she is as stupid as a pig, he cannot allow her to hang out with those piglets in the slums.
Zhu Meiling took a deep breath and said, "What's going on between you and this guy called Li Ninghao? Didn't they ask you to date Zhuo Zhenfeng at the opening reception at Times Square?"
Huo Yunyan's mouth flattened: "Don't mention Zhuo Zhenfeng, he has no interest in me at all!"
Zhu Meiling quickly sat next to Huo Yunyan and asked with concern:
"What happened? You confessed to him and he rejected you?"
Zhu Meiling was inevitably nervous, as a rich young man like Zhuo Zhenfeng was her ideal son-in-law.
Although she also has an excellent son, she does not need to rely on her son-in-law to help her fight for the Huo family business.
But with the help of the Zhuo family, could Huo Jianying still be a match for the three of them, mother and son
If it weren't for the existence of her eldest son Huo Jianying, Zhu Meiling wouldn't have to spend so much time planning for her son and daughter.
"Without a confession, I can't even see her face!"
When it comes to Zhuo Zhenfeng, Huo Yunyan gets angry.
Why
What's so cool about that? We are all from a wealthy family, so why do you look down on others? If you don't want to date, just say so. What does it mean to not even meet in person
There was also an invitation to a cocktail party that someone asked someone to bring to him. Even if he didn't come, he lacked basic courtesy and decency
Is this the Zhuo family’s family education
Zhu Meiling was also furious when she heard this.
Yes, his Zhuo family is quite powerful, otherwise it would not be ranked first among the four major families.
Zhu Meiling remembered that Zhuo Zhenfeng seemed to have graduated from the Law Department of Cambridge University. He was very powerful, but he was not the kind of person who bullied others like this.
But on second thought, isn't it because of their good conditions that they are so arrogant? If it were a toad like Li Ninghao, he wouldn't be rushing to curry favor with them.
She would rather deal with rich and handsome families than with the fawning common people. When she thought of those people's faces, she got goose bumps.
"Even if Zhuo Zhenfeng doesn't mean that, Li Ninghao absolutely cannot do that!" Zhu Meiling gave a death order.
"Mom, I have nothing to do with this Li Ninghao. I was just too confident that day and thought that if I sent Zhuo Zhenfeng an invitation letter to be the male companion of the cocktail party, he would definitely come."
"In the end, he didn't come. I was so embarrassed that I had to ask Li Ninghao to be my temporary male companion."
Huo Yunyan had no idea what the gossip magazine was up to. They were just attending a cocktail party together, so how did they fall in love
