Grandma Huo's face was stiff, her eyes filled with disappointment, shock, sadness, helplessness, and a myriad of other emotions, ultimately settling into calmness.
"Steward, bring Miss Bai a stool."
Everyone present was taken aback by Grandma's words, exchanging complex glances with one another.
Bai Ru's face instantly turned pale.
"Grandma!"
How could this be!
She was still the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family! How could they let the vixen sit at the main table?
"Alright, dear Daughter-in-law, after all, Miss Bai is also a guest. Be magnanimous."
Grandma Huo said lightly, deliberately emphasizing the name Miss Bai to remind Bai Yaoyao.
However, Bai Yaoyao was too angry to understand Grandma's hint.
What kind of demeanor and upbringing did the Huo Family's Young Master's grandmother have? Right now, all she wanted was to tear apart Bai Ru in her rage!
The person who had stabbed her in the heart was actually her own sister!
Bai Ru suddenly stood up and rushed toward Bai Ru, but before she could get close, she was blocked by Huo Liangchen.
"Don't go crazy!"
Huo Liangchen warned her, his gaze icy and filled with coldness.
"Huo Liangchen! How long has it been since Grandpa was buried? You brought this shameless woman back!"
Bai Ru raised her hand and slapped Huo Liangchen.
The entire room fell into a terrifying silence.
"Feeling wronged?" Huo Liangchen smiled instead of getting angry. "What’s there to feel wronged about? I haven't even touched you, and haven't I given enough money to the Bai Family over the years?"
Bai Ru trembled violently, realizing how ruthless this man was, mercilessly stripping her bare and exposing her bleeding wounds.
"Enough!" Grandma Huo didn't want to hear another word from either of them. "Do you need to drive me to my grave before you're happy?"
Grandma Huo left her seat, not wanting to stay there any longer.
The wives of the main branch and the Second Branch went to support the old lady upstairs.
If Grandma didn't eat, of course, no one else could touch their chopsticks.
"Huo Liangchen, Yaoyao, come to the study!"
Huo Liangchen's mother stood at the staircase on the second floor, commanding.
Before leaving, Huo Liangchen helped Bai Ru to sit down in her place. "You should eat something; you can't let the baby in your belly go hungry."
Bai Ru glanced around at the Huo Family present, each one looking unfriendly.
"I have no appetite," she raised an eyebrow. "None of this looks edible."
The food from the Huo Family did not appeal to her at all.
Some frowned, some smirked secretly, and some immediately stood up.
Huo Liangchen gently patted her shoulder. "Once I handle this matter, I'll take you out for something delicious."
Huo Jincheng stood up. "I'll go check on Grandma."
"I'll go with you."
Jian Yunong certainly did not want to stay here.
Huo Jinge, being younger, threw down his chopsticks. "What is this? How can we share a table with such nonsense? It's disgusting."
Everyone left the dining room.
Only Bai Ru was left sitting there, ignored by everyone.
Bai Ru rested her chin on her hands, a cold smile slowly appearing on her stunningly beautiful face.
This was just the beginning.
...
Grandma was in the study, dealing with matters concerning Huo Liangchen and Bai Yaoyao.
Huo Jincheng took Jian Yunong back to the room, saying, "I'll go to the kitchen and bring you a bowl of sweet osmanthus rice balls."
"I'm not hungry."
Jian Yunong felt embarrassed; Grandma wasn't even having dinner, so why should she, as a younger generation, be hungry?
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach let out a loud growl.
"This has nothing to do with us."
Huo Jincheng patted her head. "I'll bring up two bowls; we can eat together."
Huo Jincheng went downstairs, and Bai Ru was still sitting there in the dining room.
He pretended not to see anything.
"Sister Zhang" asked him to wait a moment.
"I want some too."
"Bai Ru's" delicate voice rang out at that moment.
"Sister Zhang" showed a troubled expression.
"Bai Ru" covered her lips and laughed, "I actually don't want to eat, but I have 'Huo Family' 'Changsun' in my belly."
"Sister Zhang" immediately served three bowls of glutinous rice balls and brought one bowl to "Bai Ru."
"Huo Jincheng" carried the tray and walked over, never once glancing at "Bai Ru."
"Bai Ru" felt quite uncomfortable inside.
She thought "Huo Jincheng" would come to question her, but he didn't.
That's fine; there are still many days ahead. In the future, both "Huo Jincheng" and "Jian Yunong" will have to obediently call her "Sister-in-law."
Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng finished a bowl of tangyuan, but Grandma and the others had not resolved the matter yet.
Even someone as carefree as Jian Yunong could sense that this time Huo Liangchen might really be considering divorce.
Why not get a divorce? Her husband brought his mistress home, and the mistress was her own sister! Jian Yunong didn't quite understand why Bai Yaoyao was unwilling to divorce.
Huo Jincheng was reading in the study, and Jian Yunong's texts to her aunt went unanswered.
Curious, she walked over to Huo Jincheng's side to see what he was reading.
The book was entirely in English, and Jian Yunong felt dizzy just looking at it.
She planned to turn away when Huo Jincheng pulled her back.
She sat in his lap. "What's wrong? Are you bored? Or are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry... I'm just curious about what you're reading," Jian Yunong honestly expressed her thoughts.
Huo Jincheng kissed her cheek and began to read aloud in a deep voice.
I have to say, Huo San Shao had a very pleasant voice, with a charming magnetism.
After finishing a passage, he asked Jian Yunong which sentence she liked. Jian Yunong felt embarrassed and replied, "Can I say that I actually didn't understand a single word?"
Huo Jincheng: "..."
So all his passionate expressions were wasted on a deaf audience.
Jian Yunong saw him with a stern face and thought he was angry. She reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, "I'm sorry... My English was the worst when I was in school..."
Huo Jincheng glanced at her, and when his gaze met her pitiful eyes, his heart softened again, "You, oh you..."
"I'm really lucky to have married such an amazing husband."
Jian Yunong flattered him.
Huo Jincheng tightened his embrace and lifted her up, "Then let's do something you know how to do."
Huo Jincheng tossed Jian Yunong onto the big bed, and in a daze, Jian Yunong was kissed.
She melted into his gentle kiss, which felt like a soft rain.
This kiss was uniquely tender and delicate, as if they were getting to know each other for the first time; each moment felt new and exciting.
"Nong Nong... Wife... Is that okay?" Huo Jincheng paused, asking for Jian Yunong's opinion.
Jian Yunong was a bit surprised and looked deeply at him.
During this time, they had not been this close for a long while.
There were too many things happening.
She realized... she missed him a little...
Jian Yunong was thinking about Huo Jincheng, missing his presence.
Jian Yunong, shy and awkward, kissed his lips and said, "I am yours."
Huo Jincheng held her tightly, his gaze locked onto her. "If you feel uncomfortable at all, just tell me." Jian Yunong rested her forehead against his chest, her face flushed, biting back all the embarrassing sounds.
That night, some were joyful while others were troubled.
Huo Liangchen was unusually resolute; he was even willing to separate from the Huo Family to marry Bai Ru.
Huo Liangchen expressed his willingness to leave the Huo Family.
Bai Yaoyao was almost pushed to the brink of collapse.
The more affectionate a person is, the more ruthless they can be.
