Fake Rich Daughter Is A Scientist From The Future Novel - Chapter 240

Chapter 240: Before the Engagement Banquet

Mrs. Huo was very interested. She carefully selected the flowers and desserts that needed to be placed at the banquet venue in high spirits. They even asked Huo You’s opinion from time to time.

However, Mrs. Huo didn’t need Huo You to raise any opinion. Huo You only needed to obediently answer when Mrs. Huo asked her questions, saying, “That’s good,” and “I’ll go with what Mom says.”

Huo You felt like a marionette that was placed here as an exquisite accessory with a stiff smile on her face.

They didn’t need her to have any thoughts or raise any suggestions.

The current situation was so similar to how it was before Huo You got married in her previous life. However, what was different from her previous life was that back then, Huo You had held yearning and anticipation for her marriage life. But right now, Huo You only felt numb in her heart…

Finally, after Mrs. Huo finished chatting with the planner, the other party tactfully took his leave. Only the Huo Family’s members and He Yu, who was the Huo Family’s prospective son-in-law, were left.

He Yu had been very proactive toward this engagement banquet.

When he was hospitalized, a lot of the influences in the company had been divided up by his father’s illegitimate children. After he returned to the company, things didn’t go as smoothly as before. He Yu had decided to get engaged to Huo You so that he could use the Huo Family’s influence to regain his absolute say in the company.

Ever since the news of the He Family and Huo Family’s impending engagement had spread, He Yu had indeed received a lot of preferential treatment when negotiating with other companies.

This was especially so for an American company that had just been preparing to develop the Chinese market. At first, they were indifferent to He Yu, who was seeking their cooperation. However, after they heard that he was about to get engaged to the Huo Family’s daughter, they took the initiative to facilitate the cooperation between the two parties.

The smooth sailing of his career made He Yu look forward to this marriage even more. It wasn’t that he didn’t sense Huo You’s resistance, but since Huo You didn’t dare to go against Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s decision, she could only act as a tool for the two families to deepen their cooperation. He Yu didn’t care about the true thoughts of a tool.

Of course, on the surface, He Yu appeared to be very devoted to Huo You. He was like every qualified boyfriend. On every special day, he would remember to give gifts to his fiancée and have a date with her.

He had always been polite. Sometimes, Huo You would look at He Yu, who was pretending to be a gentleman, and feel that if he continued to act like this in front of her, she might really fall in love with him.

However, Huo You was very clear-headed now. She knew that He Yu wasn’t her lover, but she couldn’t do anything about this marriage at the moment. She didn’t have the courage to go against her parents’ decision.

He Yu chatted with the Huo Family for a while before Mr. Huo drew a conclusion to this matter. “He Yu has prepared the various details of the engagement banquet well. I think we don’t have any other opinions. We’ll just need to wait to announce this good news to the guests on Youyou’s birthday.”

He Yu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you for your approval, Uncle Huo and Auntie Huo. I’m afraid that I didn’t do well enough and neglected Youyou. I hope to give her the most perfect engagement banquet.”

Mrs. Huo quickly smiled and said, “You’ve done well enough. Youyou must be very satisfied, right?”

Mrs. Huo looked inquiringly at Huo You, who had been sitting silently at the side. Huo You could feel the pressure in her gaze and felt a little amused. They didn’t need to ask for her opinion, did they?

However, on the surface, Huo You didn’t dare to show her rebellion. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be shy as she said, “Dad and Mom have given it a lot of thought. I’m very satisfied with the current arrangement.”

The smile on Mrs. Huo’s face deepened. She probably felt that Huo You’s performance today hadn’t embarrassed her, so she patted the back of Huo You’s hand in admiration..
