Butler Zhao is very worried. Looking at Ninth Young Master's expression now, he is really afraid that Ninth Young Master will have a tough temper, which will be troublesome.

"It's all the older generation sitting here, what does it mean for me, an unrelated woman, to sit here?" As soon as Xiang Xuan said this, Butler Zhao broke out in a cold sweat.

Who would have thought that something would pop up from below her.

"Does grandpa really want to connect me with people and let me be the acting president of Huo Group?"

"......"

Butler Zhao's legs were trembling slightly.

"Ninth Young Mistress, actually..."

"Where Huo Yanzhou sits, that's where I'll sit." After saying that, Xiang Xuan walked towards Jiang Qi and the others.

The head of the Huo family over there has always been paying attention to this place.

Seeing that Xiang Xuan didn't come over, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

The head of the Qian family next to him felt a little funny. His voice was soft and deep: "If you let a little girl sit with us, wouldn't it be embarrassing for her? No matter how much you love this granddaughter-in-law, you shouldn't be so high-profile. .”

Patriarch Huo didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

"Is it wrong for me to love her so much?"

"That's right. If she sits here, how much trouble will she get into?"

"Who dares to mess with my granddaughter-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family!"

Master Qian shook his head and stopped talking to him.

On the other side, Huo Shijin saw this scene in his eyes and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Recently, the abnormality of the old patriarch has become more and more obvious.

Qian Hui's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Shi Jin, do you think the old family master will really promote Xiang Xuan to replace Huo Yanzhou?"

Huo Shijin turned around and stared at her sternly.

At this moment, Qianhui was picking up food for him and talking with a smile. In the eyes of others, they seemed like a loving couple.

Huo Shijin said: "Why don't you ask the old master."

Listening to his thorny words, Qian Hui pursed her lower lips tightly and continued to speak softly: "Shi Jin, I don't mean anything else. I just want you to be more vigilant. You also saw the scene just now. Who didn't the old master call me?" Okay, why do you have to ask Xiang Xuan to sit at the main table? Isn’t the intention obvious?"

"Do I need you to remind me again?"

The smile on Qianhui's face seemed to be a little unbearable.

He was the one who wanted the alliance, and he is the one who is being cold-hearted now.

What does he mean?

When Xiang Xuan sat down, Jiang Qi picked up the wine bottle and asked, "Drink some juice, brothers and sisters."

"Drink." Xiang Xuan asked, "Where is Huo Yanzhou?"

"Did you get a call at the last minute? I think I'll be back soon." After saying that, Jiang Qi had already poured the wine, "Did Mr. Huo just want you to sit over?"

"Ah."

"This old man is quite shady." Jiang Qi complained.

Xiang Xuan said nothing and drank.

Jiang Qi started to complain, "You must not know that when Ah Jiu was twelve years old, the old man ordered people to throw him into the ice water alive, just because Ah Jiu was not in good health after he was born. The old man was deeply afraid. After giving him to the eldest mother, we have to start training him, and training is training, starting with training the body. He stayed in the ice water for a full two hours that day, and ended up being hospitalized for more than a month with severe pneumonia."

Xiang Xuan listened quietly.

But in his mind, he was thinking about Huo Yanzhou's current body.

It's hard to imagine how sick Huo Yanzhou looked when he was a child.

"It was after that hospitalization that Ah Jiu's temperament completely changed. The old man even conducted all kinds of devil training on him." Jiang Qi said he was tired and took a sip of wine before continuing.

Until the birthday banquet started, Huo Yanzhou still had no intention of coming back.

Shen Qiuting was confused.

"Why does it take so long for Ninth Brother to make a phone call?"

Jiang sent a message and asked his people to go and see what was going on.

Messages are responded to very quickly.

Jiang Qi's expression suddenly changed, followed by embarrassment.

Xiang Xuan looked at him: "What's wrong with him?"

Jiang Qi's mind was spinning quickly and he immediately explained: "It seems that something difficult happened, and he needs to go and deal with it personally. You happened to go to the bathroom at that time, so I didn't have time to explain to you."

Seeing his smiling face, Xiang Xuan knew there was something fishy.

If she can cope with it like this, she will be in a bad mood if she finds out about it.

As far as they knew, there was only one thing that made her uncomfortable.

Yuan Yuan.

"Yeah." Xiang Xuan put down the wine glass and started eating.

Jiang Qi and Shen Qiuting winked at each other, then acted as flower guardians, and even thoughtfully served her food.

Xiang Xuan looked calm and ate with peace of mind.

On the contrary, the eyes from around him kept coming this way.

The person sitting next to Xiang Xuan was not Huo Yanzhou, but another man, and he was even so considerate.

They couldn't help but start all kinds of envy and speculation again.

At this time, Butler Zhao came over again, bent down and whispered to Xiang Xuan: "Ninth Young Madam, Ninth Young Master can no longer come. The head of the house is afraid that you will be embarrassed sitting here, otherwise you should go over and sit."

"Yes." Xiang Xuan put down his chopsticks and readily agreed this time.

Butler Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and led her to the main table.

When Jiang Qi and Shen Qiuting saw this, they looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding in their hearts.

Angry......

Xiang Xuan sat next to the head of the Huo family, and there was another burst of discussion and surprise in the venue.

The head of the Huo family was happy because of her answer, and even served her food himself: "You should have sat next to grandpa just now, and grandpa will introduce you to these elders."

Xiang Xuan ate the food brought by his old man, even if he had ulterior motives.

At this time, the head of the Dong family smiled and joked: "I remember that the last time Lao Huo loved the younger generation so much, it was Yan Zhou's mother. This time he loves his grandson's wife so much, it seems that he loves the house and the bird."

"With such a precious grandson, the grandson's daughter-in-law is naturally very precious." The head of the Ling family added, "Moreover, Young Madam Huo Jiu is also a teacher at the Conservatory of Music, and the two children of the Qian family are now her students."

Patriarch Qian hummed: "Those two are little monkeys, they are rarely obedient."

This is considered a compliment to Xiang Xuan.

It has been a long time since Patriarch Qian praised anyone.

These family heads couldn't help but be shocked for two seconds, and their views on Xiang Xuan seemed to have another layer of meaning.

They spoke in official tones, but Xiang Xuan didn't care and ate quietly.

Until the birthday banquet is completely over.

The head of the Huo family was not ready to let Xiang Xuan go, "Take grandpa's car and grandpa will take you back."

Xiang Xuan said: "Didn't the family heads just invite you to play Go and golf together?"

The head of the Huo family acted like a child: "Why don't you go and have fun with grandpa, or grandpa doesn't want to go."

This is a disguised moral kidnapping for her.

"Okay." Xiang Xuan could tell that the old man didn't want to give up yet.

Seeing her readily agreeing, the Huo family leader beamed.

Behind them, Jiang Qi and the others saw Xiang Xuan following Mr. Huo. They wanted to take the opportunity to take Xiang Xuan away and explain to Huo Yanzhou, but it was difficult.

Jiang Qi said worriedly: "What to do?"

Shen Qiuting said: "It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs."
