Huo Xiao came to the study, and Mr. Huo was sitting there very calmly, as if nothing had happened.
He said: "What's the matter?"
Huo Xiao was silent for a moment and said, "Father, do you want me to handle the current situation?"
Mr. Huo looked up at him and smoked his pipe slowly.
Huo Xiao said nothing and quietly waited for Mr. Huo's instructions.
Mr. Huo was silent for a moment and said, "You don't have to do anything for the time being. I don't think the Chu family will take action. Although Marshal Chu loves this daughter, he still has several sons. Does he dare to fight with the Huo family?" Even if he is willing, the rest of his family will not be willing. I have already spread the word. The Chu family wants to swallow up the Huo family. I don’t believe that the Chu family will come against us at this time. People, sometimes it’s always I want to find a fig leaf, but I don’t want to think about it. In fact, buying a fig leaf is also very expensive!”
He smiled coldly: "As soon as this rumor comes out, I will see who will believe what Chu Miaozi says. Even if she wants to kill you out of love, no one will believe it. I didn't expect that Marshal Chu It’s ridiculous to think that such a shrewd person would have a daughter who is too stupid to look at.”
Huo Xiao said: "Then I'll add fuel to the fire."
Mr. Huo raised his head: "The hospital is all owned by Marshal Chu."
Huo Xiao smiled: "This is Beiping."
Mr. Huo nodded: "Okay, but you should be careful yourself and remember not to cause trouble."
Huo Xiao nodded and left.
Huo Xiao went out and looked up at the sky. It seemed to be extremely cold this year. Spring had already begun, but it was still so cool.
Gu Yuyu walked through the corridor and came to see Huo Xiao. She respectfully said, "Master Xiao."
Huo Xiao: "Is something wrong?"
Gu Yuyu said: "Master Qi invites you to come over for tea."
As soon as he said this, Huo Xiao laughed and said, "It's really rare for Gu Tingyun to invite me."
When he came to Gu Tingyun's room, he saw the old lady also there. His surprise flashed over, and then he said: "Grandma, you are here too!"
The old lady smiled: "You asked me to say this. Can't I be here?"
Huo Xiao smiled, a little more childish: "Of course not, I was wondering why Master Qi invited me. Sure enough, there is a reason."
Gu Tingyun glanced at Huo Xiao and said with a smile: "It sounds like I am unfriendly to you. This seems wrong. You know, I have always regarded you as a good brother."
Huo Xiao's smile became even brighter and he said, "Really?"
Even if the old lady is here, there is no need to show any brotherly love, it is quite natural.
But the more this happens, the more natural it becomes.
Others may not believe someone who forces himself to act respectfully as a brother and friend.
The old lady said: "You two sit down."
She said: "The weather is not good this year. Is there any discomfort in Ah Xiao's legs?"
Huo Xiao shook his head: "Don't worry, it's fine."
In front of the old lady, he seemed to be a caring junior.
He said: "If you are here at this time, nothing will happen, right?"
The old lady said: "Ting Yun said that Tang Jiao was going to cook and invited me to come and taste it. I also thought that you might be fine now, so I called you over together."
Huo Xiao looked at them in surprise, "Tang Jiao cooks?"
He pursed his lips, frowned and asked, "Then...can I eat it?"
In fact, I'm a little worried inside. One look at that girl and she doesn't look very good at it!
The old lady didn't expect Huo Xiao to say such a thing. After a moment of surprise, she laughed and said, "It's a coincidence. I said the same thing just now. It seems that we are indeed grandfather and grandson. We all think the same thing."
Gu Tingyun smiled along with them gently, but said: "I think our little girl is okay. She is actually very smart and can do well no matter what she does."
Huo Xiao looked at Gu Tingyun and found that there was no trace of guilt in his eyes, as if what he said was what he was thinking. This was simply unexpected.
Gu Tingyun continued: "Actually, you still have little contact with Tang Jiao. If you have more contact, you will know that Tang Jiao is really great! She is very stubborn and willing to delve into it. As long as she is willing, she will do anything no matter what. It can be done well.”
Having said this, he smiled and said: "I have always firmly believed that she is the best and perfect."
Old lady: "..."
Huo Xiao: "..."
Even if Huo Xiao liked Tang Jiao so much, he would not say that Tang Jiao was perfect, but that was what Gu Tingyun meant.
He had a vague trust in Tang Jiao.
The old lady said: "You brag about her like this, does she know it? I don't think she even dares to say that she is perfect."
"Who said I dare not say it?"
Tang Jiao walked in with a small plate and said with a smile, "I am perfect."
She put the small plate on the table, sat down next to Gu Tingyun, and said coquettishly: "Try the cookies I baked."
He added: "Always have some refreshments when drinking tea."
The old lady looked at the refreshments that seemed to be good in color and appearance, reached for a small biscuit, put it to her mouth and bit it lightly.
Tang Jiao asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"
The old lady tasted it carefully and said, "It's okay."
Although he said this, he put the rest into his mouth. Tang Jiao's cooking was actually very good. Although he was not as good as the chef in the house, his cooking methods were somewhat different from others.
The taste is soft and not particularly sweet, so it is still very suitable for her appetite.
Saying this, he picked up another piece.
Tang Jiao smiled brightly: "If it's good enough, you can keep eating it. If it's not good enough, it's great, and you can eat the whole plate."
She is a little bit small like this. To be honest, the old lady has never had this kind of thing around her. She is just like a little skinny monkey.
She rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are the only one who talks a lot."
Tang Jiao giggled. She also saw that the old lady was actually a little bit overwhelmed by her high position.
Although what she said just now was a bit rude, the old lady was not actually unhappy. On the contrary, she could feel that she did not treat her as an outsider and there was no barrier between her and her.
Tang Jiao said again: "Brother Huo, don't look at it, just have a taste. My level is good!"
Huo Xiao took a bite and nodded: "It's delicious."
He was sincere: "It's really delicious."
Countless times better than the best Western restaurants outside.
Tang Jiao's smile became even brighter. She picked up a piece herself, turned around and fed it to Gu Tingyun.
Gu Tingyun didn't seem to have anything wrong and just took it into his mouth.
The old lady's eyes flashed.
However, Gu Tingyun and Tang Jiao didn't have any special expressions. Such intimate actions were done very naturally.
Gu Tingyun said: "It's better than last time."
Tang Jiao was very happy. She was a sweet girl, and her smile was as bright as a flower.
She said softly: "I'm so good, how much of an advantage did you take by asking me?"
After that, without waiting for Gu Tingyun's reply, he said directly: "I have something else. You guys sit down and I'll go take a look."
Then he got up and went to the kitchen.
Seeing her coming and going, the old lady said, "She is too lively."
Gu Tingyun said: "I think it's just right."
Having said that, the old lady saw the smile in his eyes.
No matter what you look like, you are the best in my heart.
Even at her age, she can still feel it.
Sure enough, young and loving relationships are always the best.
The old lady smiled gently and said, "When will you return to Shanghai?"
She knew that they had an event on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Although she was far away in Peiping, she had heard a lot about it. Sometimes she lamented that this Tang Jiao really had two skills. At least it's good at what you do.
She said: "But if you go back to Shanghai, remember to be careful at all times. I don't think the Chu family will let it go."
Although she eats fast and chants Buddha's name every day, she seems to have no concern for worldly affairs, but no matter what happens, she cannot hide it from her eyes.
Gu Tingyun nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "Don't worry."
The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "What should I worry about? You are more trouble-making than their Tang Jiao."
Gu Tingyun smiled, and he was very calm: "You really don't have to worry too much, I've got it covered."
He seemed to be talking about other people's affairs without any sense of crisis.
He said: "To alleviate a crisis is to create a bigger crisis. Is the Chu family harmonious? Even a simple family like ours is in chaos. What's more, a big family like the Chu family? Chu Miaozi's mother is... The second wife helped her. This wife is not really that persuasive. So what if she is favored? Can her brothers really tolerate her? The reason for not taking action is just because she is a woman and cannot fight for it. If Chu Miao Do you want to fight for it? No one has stipulated that women cannot be in power, right?"
Gu Tingyun poured a cup of tea for each of them, and his smile deepened: "So, don't worry."
The old lady looked at Gu Tingyun and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After a while, he said: "What do you mean our house is a mess? What you said is really unpleasant."
Gu Tingyun immediately apologized: "I was wrong."
The old lady snorted and said, "You child, you just refuse to come back."
Gu Tingyun said lightly: "Anyway, there is Huo Xiao. It doesn't matter whether I come back or not. Everything about the Huo family has nothing to do with me. I just want what I have worked hard for."
Huo Xiao looked up at him: "Have you asked me if I want it?"
The old lady sighed quietly, everyone was fighting for it, but their family was nice and they didn't want it.
She slapped the table: "Shut up, all of you, this matter..." After thinking about it, "Let's discuss it later!"
Gu Tingyun and Huo Xiao both laughed.
