After Learning How to Read Minds, Mr. Huo Takes Me to Bed Every Night! - Chapter 530:

Chapter 530: Defending

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Huo Zizhen’s wedding banquet was arranged by Yun Shujing at the Yunding Hotel. Other than the huge Huo family, there were also the Huo Corporation’s shareholder, the Huo Corporation’s management, and some friendly media outlets. To put it simply, Yun Shujing had already given her enough face. Of course, she did not give this card just because Huo Zizhen was getting married. The bigger reason was to let everyone see what kind of “person” Huo Jiuxiao was.

The wedding was held in the lawn garden on the 56th floor of the hotel. The area was about the size of a football field, and it was already flooded with champagne roses and jewelry. On the left side of the entrance was the guest buffet area, and on the right was the photo area. There was a long flower aisle in the middle, and at the end was the ceremonial stage for today’s ceremony.

At this time, Huo Zizhen, Xing Guan, and Huo Qingxiao stayed at the entrance of the wedding venue to welcome the guests, while Huo Shengyuan and his wife wandered among the various guests, greeting them and conveying the Huo Family’s thoughtfulness to every guest present.

Because the guests weren’t familiar with Huo Jiuxiao, and the shareholder and employees of the Huo Corporation weren’t close to Huo Jiuxiao, it made Huo Jiuxiao and his wife seem like they didn’t fit in at the wedding. No, it should be said that they had some kind of tacit agreement to deliberately isolate the two of them from the Huo Corporation. The people from the Huo Family who were willing to talk to Huo Jiuxiao were obviously people from the Huo Corporation’s periphery.

At this moment, most of the people in the group seemed to be watching Huo Jiuxiao and his wife make a fool of themselves. The eldest young master had been back for so long, and two members of the Huo Family had already been killed. Why was he still not getting the respect and prestige he deserved? The problem was still his hearing loss. Although he was fierce and arrogant, this was the Huo Family and the upper class of society. Those who were fierce and rude were not recognized by this group of highly educated people. That was why they could be so arrogant.

Perhaps, this was the fate of that young master.

However, just as everyone was looking at Huo Jiuxiao with mocking eyes, the noble also brought his wife to the wedding banquet. No one had expected this. Even though Huo Qingxiao had personally invited him, who was Xu Chonglou? How could he attend a mere Huo Zizhen’s wedding? Therefore, Huo Qingxiao didn’t have much hope, but Xu Chonglou came with Mother Xu and bodyguards.

Originally, Huo Qingxiao should have personally greeted someone of such status. However, Xu Chonglou waved his hand and said, “You’re busy today. There’s no need for formalities.”

“Then…”

“Where is Jiuxiao?”

This time, Huo Qingxiao understood Xu Chonglou’s intentions. He pointed inside and made a welcoming gesture.

Xu Chonglou brought his wife into the inner court. At this moment, Huo Shengyuan was overjoyed. He directly abandoned the guests in front of him and ran towards Xu Chonglou and Xu Qinglan. “Uncle Xu, I didn’t expect you to find time to come out of your busy schedule. I’m really sorry for not greeting you well.”

Unexpectedly, Xu Chonglou raised his hand and said to Huo Shengyuan, “I just need Jiuxiao to follow me. You’re a busy man. I won’t waste your time.”

Huo Shengyuan’s expression changed drastically, but he could only watch as Xu Chonglou waved at Lin Wanli and her husband.

Who was this person? He actually looked at Huo Sheng as if he was nothing.

This was the young customer’s question. Then, he was educated by his parents. “Don’t talk nonsense. If you don’t know him, go to the news channel every day. Don’t casually comment on such a big shot.”

“This is the one from Deer Terrace Pavilion.”

“Look, that noble and Huo Jiuxiao went to the inner room. Lin Wanli and that madam are as close as mother and daughter. No wonder she doesn’t greet ordinary guests. She doesn’t need it.”

“I thought it was a little white rabbit that was bullied, but who knew it was a hidden dragon in the abyss.”

“Look at President Huo. Although he doesn’t show it on his face, I’m afraid he’s going to die of anger from the look on his face.”

“Looks like everything that happened to Huo Shengyuan in Deer Terrace Pavilion was true.”

So what if he was like a fish in water among all the guests here? The most important one, however, favored Huo Jiuxiao. The shareholder of Feiyuan Sect had been watching him gloat for the entire morning. They didn’t expect him to turn the tables on Xu Chonglou.

Xu Chonglou knew that all the guests outside the glass door were talking about them, but he didn’t regret his appearance this time.

“Do you know why I’m here?” Xu Chonglou asked Huo Jiuxiao.

“Actually, Uncle Xu, you don’t have to do this.”

“You’ve done things for me and the people. This is the respect we owe you. I know you don’t ask for this, but Uncle Xu is a protective person. I can’t bear to see people who do practical things receive unfair treatment, so I came over to do some small things within my power.”

The two men were talking at the side while Lin Wanli and Mother Xu were drinking tea at the side. When the two of them talked about Little Youran and Miss Xu, there were always endless topics to talk about. In addition, Little Youran brought joy to the Xu family, so Mother Xu liked Lin Wanli even more.

“I know that you and your wife will definitely not be willing to let Youran be raised by Xu family. So, Chong Lou and I thought about it and decided to send you and your wife to Deer Terrace Pavilion. That way, you won’t have any reason to reject us, right?”

“Pfft!” Lin Wanli laughed after hearing that. “I like the scenery of Deer Terrace Pavilion too.”

“That’s right. In the future, Jiuxiao will have to go abroad to handle some business. You can’t possibly still be living in the Huo Family, right? I know you don’t like it.”

“Thank you, Godmother.”

“Look at those snobs outside. Their necks are about to break.” Mother Xu scoffed, “But Wanli, remember this. Your status, ability, and character are things that these people will never be able to surpass in their lifetime. So, don’t worry about it.”

Lin Wanli didn’t care about it at all, but she didn’t expect the two elders of the Xu family to come over to protect her.

[Master, does this count as exchanging sincerity for sincerity?]

Huo Jiuxiao tilted his head and looked at Lin Wanli, giving her an affirmative look.

As long as one understood you, no one would dislike you.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for the ceremony. Yun Shujing and her husband also entered through the entrance and walked among the guests. Of course, Yun Shujing had one thing to do today, which was to announce the news of Mu Qingya’s pregnancy and write all her expectations for her grandchildren on her face. Not only that, she also spread the word that when Mu Qingya matured, she would use the shares as a congratulatory gift to her grandchildren.

The guests also congratulated her one after another, revealing expressions of blessing. At this moment, Mu Qingya was the only one who felt sad. She felt sad for Huo Zizhen, as well as for herself and the child who had already left. Because today, they were just tools for the mother and son…

So what if Xu Chonglou was here?

Wouldn’t he still have to watch Huo Jiuxiao’s reputation be ruined?
