Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Jingzhi, my Big Brother is new here and doesn’t know much, so I’m representing him. We brothers have the same intentions.” Huo Shengyuan immediately helped Huo Jiuxiao out of the situation, showing that he was polite and polite.

“The second son of the Huo Family is indeed slightly better than the eldest. One couldn’t just look at one’s background, one had to look at one’s character. It’s indeed rude for a junior to come empty-handed on such a big occasion. It’s not like he doesn’t know that the Xu family is celebrating their birthday.” Below, some guests were discussing quietly.

“Of course. Huo Shengyuan comes here every year. His relationship with the Xu family is not ordinary. How can anyone just barge in?”

“He’s still outside after all. He doesn’t understand the ways of the world. What a

pity.’

These people thought that their voices were very soft, but Lin Wanli pricked up her ears and heard them all. Huo Shengyuan’s wagging tail and the way he was taking credit for himself, was he decent and good-looking?

At this moment, a loud female voice came from the door. And she said, “My son is extremely excellent.”

Everyone followed their gaze and saw Yun Shujing appear at the entrance of the Xu family’s banquet hall in a white brocade cheongsam. She had come at the right time when her son was in his prime. Therefore, Yun Shujing was very satisfied. When she entered the hall, she walked to Huo Shengyuan’s side and said proudly to Xu Chonglou, “Sorry, Elder Xu. I’m late.”

“Aunt Shu, you came at the right time. Everyone is praising Brother Shengyuan as a dragon among men.” Xu Jingzhi said deliberately.

“Sister-in-law, you should have come earlier.” Xu Chonglou echoed.

“Isn’t there a saying that it’s better to come at the right time than early? No matter what, I know that Shengyuan has grown up and can stand alone. I’m very gratified. This doesn’t disappoint his father’s expectations of him.” As Yun Shujing spoke, she caressed Huo Shengyuan’s arm in satisfaction. “Good boy, you’ve done well. You know how to protect your family now.”

“Shengyuan is indeed outstanding.” Elder Xu continued to praise.

“Isn’t that so? He cares about you a thousand times and he cares about Huiwen a lot.”

It would have been fine if Huiwen hadn’t been mentioned. However, the moment Huiwen was mentioned, Mother Xu’s face instantly darkened. Was she still acting? Mother Xu was furious, especially when she saw everyone in the room praising Huo Shengyuan. She couldn’t help but laugh. Whose birthday banquet is it today? Did he think that this was the Huo Family?

Was Yun Shujing’s passionate performance also telling everyone about Huo Qingxiao’s attitude?

What about Huo Jiuxiao?

Was coming here a joke?

At this moment, the butler walked in quickly and whispered something into Elder Xu’s ear. “Please come in, please come in,” Elder Xu said excitedly.

It was unknown whose arrival had caused Elder Xu to have such a huge reaction.

A moment later, a thin middle-aged woman appeared in the living room of the Xu family with a little girl. At this moment, not only Father Xu but even Mother Xu’s eyes were filled with tears.

“Yunying, why are you here?” Mother Xu hurriedly went up to grab the other party’s hand.

“I’m here to thank you.” The woman said,” Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, Guoying’s remains have been found. It’s been 20 years. I’ve been waiting for 20 years and finally, Guoying’s remains have returned to their roots. I’m going to England to welcome my husband tomorrow, so I came here today to thank you two for entrusting Diheng to give me such a big surprise. I have no regrets in this life.”

“Diheng?” Father Xu felt that these two words were very familiar. “Then…lt’s not Jiuxiao’s company?”

Father Xu was shocked. Not finding the remains of his best friend was the greatest regret of his life. However, no one knew about this except for himself. How did Huo Jiuxiao know?

“Is the person in charge of this company here too, brother?”

Elder Xu turned to look at Huo Jiuxiao.

The woman looked over and wanted to kneel, but she was stopped by Lin Wanli.

“I’ve found countless private detectives and invited countless private organizations. I’ve almost flattened this world. I didn’t expect Diheng to fulfill my wish. Child, accept my bow.”

“Madam Ji, you don’t have to be like this. I’m just giving Elder Xu a birthday present.” Huo Jiuxiao helped him up. “A heroic and loyal soul should return to his hometown with honor.”

“How capable is this child…” Madam Ji wiped her tears as she praised Huo Jiuxiao.

No one had expected Elder Xu to walk up to Huo Jiuxiao and bow to him solemnly. “This is the regret that I’ve kept in my heart for twenty years. It’s also the most painful thing that I’ve dreamed about in the middle of the night. Jiuxiao, Uncle Xu will remember this gift of yours.”

Everyone was shocked. For Elder Xu to bow and thank him, it could be seen that the weight of this matter was incomparable.

Therefore, the reason why he didn’t know etiquette and how to deal with the world was because the gift wasn’t delivered in time.

How would this gift compare to Huo Shengyuan’s painting?

Therefore, Huo Shengyuan, who had given Huo Jiuxiao a gift, was a complete joke. Just because they didn’t express their stance didn’t mean that they weren’t prepared.

The elders were still crying, but everyone understood that this was a good thing. The young master of the Huo family seemed to be able to do things that others couldn’t do in decades. He seemed to be more resourceful than others imagined.

“Think about it. How bad can the person that our country’s Andu wants to recruit be?” At this moment, Elder Lu could not help but snort.

She had goosebumps all over her body from Huo Shengyuan and his mother’s performance, but Huo Qingxiao, that old thing, was just watching the show as usual. Did he think Huo Jiuxiao was a weakling?

“Look, Huo Shengyuan’s expression is so awkward…”

“Who would have thought that there would be such a turn of events? So it turns out that it’s the first time I’ve seen someone who’s awesome, someone who can make tens of thousands of people bow and thank him.”

“I’ve heard about Ji Guoying. You can check on the internet to see how powerful the Ji family is now. It was said that he and Elder Xu were classmates and comrades-in-arms. The two of them had carried out many missions and were life-and-death friends. Later, Ji Guoying was sent overseas to support them, but since then, there has been no news of him ever again. I’ve heard my elders mention it before.”

“In other words, Huo Jiuxiao’s actions have made the two great families feel grateful to him and treat him as a distinguished guest?”

He was extraordinary. In addition, the Lu family was protecting him. The guests naturally had a plan in their hearts. The eldest son of the Huo Family was indeed a character.

Huo Shengyuan was very outstanding, but compared to Huo Jiuxiao, he seemed like a child. He was too childish.

Most importantly, who would still have their eyes on Yun Shujing and her son now? Huo Jiuxiao was completely in the atmosphere.. Where did he find out about the secret that Elder Xu had kept in his heart for twenty years?
