Poor little homeless, Mr. Huo took her home and loved her

At this moment, Huo Qingzhou's cold voice rang out.

"You concluded this is a fake with just one sentence. Are you better than a god?"

He Mei felt embarrassed, especially when she saw Huo Qingzhou protecting Zhou Ning so much, her heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife.

Zhou Zhi also defended it and glared at the people who were talking around him: "You are not allowed to whisper to me."

Those people fell silent instantly.

He Mei said with a wronged look on her face: "I didn't say anything nonsense. I just said it because I saw that there was something wrong with the jade pendant and I was worried that it would be inappropriate for my aunt to wear a fake one."

If outsiders saw this expression, they would think someone was bullying her.

Huo Qingzhou said coldly: "Words are not enough, how about this, I will invite a senior appraiser to come, and the results will be out soon."

While speaking, Huo Qingzhou glanced at Zhou Ning with a much gentler look: "Ning Ning, what do you think?"

Let a professional come, it will be more convincing.

Zhou Ning nodded: "Of course I agree."

This is undoubtedly the best way, and it can also prove that she did not buy fake goods.

He Mei's eyes moved quickly, thinking that Zhou Ning bought the jade pendant from the old man, it must be a fake, and she had nothing to be afraid of.

"I agree. Let an appraiser come and check whether the jade pendant is real or fake."

Huo Qingzhou protected Zhou Ning and didn't believe what she said, but he should at least believe what the professionals said.

By then, when the evidence is solid, she wants to see how Huo Qingzhou will still protect Zhou Ning.

Soon, a senior appraiser was invited over.

Zhou Zhi ordered, "Master, please take a closer look for me."

When the appraiser carefully examined it, the scene was very quiet and everyone was staring at it curiously, but everyone's mood was different.

Zhou Ning remained calm from beginning to end.

He Mei watched from the side, and only one word came to her mind: Ignorance is fearless.

I really don't understand anything.

funny.

However, the appraiser's next words shocked her pupils.

"This pair of jade pendants is genuine."

He Mei asked uncertainly: "Is it true?"

"It's real," the appraiser said confidently, "I have been in the appraisal industry for many years. You can trust my words. This pair of jade pendants is real."

Zhou Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the results came out, she was actually a little nervous.

Huo Qingzhou cast a serious look at He Mei and said angrily, "You should get your eyes treated for calling the genuine product a fake."

He Mei's face turned red with embarrassment: "I..."

"A pair of blind eyes is better off being useless!"

He Mei was almost frightened to death by Huo Qingzhou's appearance. She lowered her head and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I may have made a mistake."

Then he looked at Zhou Zhi apologetically: "Aunt, I'm really sorry, I accidentally misread it, but I didn't mean any harm, I just worried that Zhou Ning would buy a fake and get cheated by others."

Zhou Zhi gave her a meaningful look.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Mr. Huo laughed a few times to ease the atmosphere.

"Xiao Mei, you are still so young, and you are almost as presbyopic as me."

He Mei gritted her teeth and said nothing. How could Zhou Ning buy a genuine product and she actually knew the value of it? How could a low-class girl know the value of it?

Although her family had many antiques, she never wanted to study them and was not interested in them at all. Her mother had instilled in her the idea that she must find a rich man since she was a child.

And she is working hard for this, not wanting to disappoint her mother's expectations.

Zhou Zhi glanced at the people around him and said, "The appraiser said that what my Xiao Ning bought was genuine. You still have the nerve to say anything? Anyone who keeps complaining, get out!"

No one around dared to say a word.

Those who had originally made comments began to apologize humbly.

Zhou Ning's expression remained calm. He glanced at He Mei who was standing not far away and felt strange.

Without time to think, everyone moved to the pavilion.

Some snacks were already placed on the table.

Zhou Zhi pulled Zhou Ning to sit down and said, "Xiao Ning, sit next to me."

Zhou Ning sat down and realized that Zhou Zhi had invited a troupe to come and listen to the opera with everyone.

Zhou Zhi listened to the opera with great interest while chatting with Zhou Ning.

"Xiao Ning, how do you feel? You're not bored, are you?"

Seeing Zhou Zhi asking with such concern, Zhou Ning shook his head.

"That's good. I like lively occasions," Zhou Zhi said. "Celebrating the anniversary together is what Qingzhou's father and I have agreed to do for many years. It has become a habit now."

"Every time this day comes, no matter how busy he is, he will put aside his official duties and come back to accompany me. I also hope that he can take some time to rest and not be so tired."

"That's why I've insisted on celebrating our anniversary for many years, but he's going to retire soon, so he'll have more time to spend with me."

After listening to Zhou Zhi's words, Zhou Ning understood.

True love requires mutual consideration.

Only when two people care about each other can they go further.

In the past, she only saw the side of Huo Zhengan doting on Zhou Zhi, but now she also sees the side of Zhou Zhi treating Huo Zhengan attentively. These are mutual.

After a play was over, there was constant applause.

At this time, Zhou Ning noticed that a woman in costume was walking over.

She greeted Zhou Zhi.

Hearing her voice, Zhou Ning recognized her as He Mei.

She didn't expect that He Mei was also one of the people singing just now.

He Mei said politely to Zhou Zhi, "Aunt, I hope you like my performance just now. I sincerely apologize for the little episode just now."

Some people around couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Mei, you really can do everything. You even specially sang a piece of opera, which took a lot of thought. We are very surprised."

"I didn't expect your singing skills to be so good. You really impressed us."

"You are so considerate. I don't know who will be so lucky to marry you in the future."

Everyone kept praising her, and in a blink of an eye they forgot about the little incident that He Mei had just caused.

He Mei smiled and said, "Actually, these are nothing. My aunt and uncle's anniversary is coming, and I feel that just preparing gifts is not enough to express my feelings. I know that my aunt likes to listen to opera, so I have been following the master these days and learned the content of this opera."

Zhou Zhi: "You are thoughtful, kid."

He Mei was very happy to hear Zhou Zhi's response.

"This is what I should do."

She carefully thought about the compliments everyone had given her just now, especially the envy of who would marry her in the future. She didn't know how Zhou Zhi felt after hearing everyone's compliments.

Will there be some regrets?

After all, Zhou Ning just sat next to her and didn't know how to do anything.

As a result, Zhou Zhi's next sentence made her face change.

"Xiao Mei, if you have this much energy, you might as well focus on your work. You don't have to be a secretary anyway."

Before He Mei could answer, Zhou Zhi turned to Zhou Ning beside her and asked kindly, "Xiao Ning, did you like the scene just now?"
