The old man of the Huo family motioned for his grandson to sit down, then looked at Chen Xinru, looking like a completely loving elder.

"Xinru has graduated, right?"

Chen Xinru smiled and nodded, "Yes, I have already received my degree certificate and secured a job. I will stay in Beijing from now on."

"That's good, that's good. You are the only daughter your parents have, so you can stay by their side without any worries."

Old Master Huo spoke very softly, and he had never been so kind even to his own granddaughter. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with Chen Xinru.

Chen Xinru turned her head slightly and looked at Huo Yunzheng again.

He just sat there, without saying a word, but it was as if countless spotlights were shining on him.

Some people are born as protagonists.

Huo Yunzheng is too outstanding. There are countless women in the whole city of Beijing who want to get involved with him. Chen Xinru is determined to get the identity of Mrs. Huo.

Chen Zongzhi chatted with the old man about some recent policies. Chen Xinru didn't understand them. Her eyes were almost glued to Huo Yunzheng.

Shi Shi looked at him, a scornful smile flashed across the corner of her mouth. She picked up the teacup on the table and sipped it slowly.

The phone vibrated, and Huo Yunzheng said in front of everyone, "Zi Yan called. I'll excuse myself first."

Huo Yunzheng walked out.

Chen Zongzhi looked at him and didn't say much.

Huo Yunzheng was unmarried and suddenly brought home a child. The Chen family knew about this. Old Master Huo personally assured that the child was not Huo Yunzheng's illegitimate child.

However, Huo Yunzheng never revealed to anyone where this child came from.

In the corridor of the courtyard, Huo Yunzheng answered the phone, and Huo Ziyan's childish voice came out, "There is no antipyretic medicine at home. Mom is sick. When will you come back?"

I got sick?

He had only been away for two days, how could he have made himself sick?

"Did you take your temperature? How high?"

"Thirty-nine degrees. Mom said she was feeling uncomfortable and has fallen asleep."

There was no medicine at home, and Huo Ziyan, a child, could not go out casually. Besides, he himself did not know where the pharmacy was.

"I'll have someone send the medicine over." Huo Yunzheng frowned, his heart had already drifted back to Shanghai, to that small room, the place that belonged to their family of three.

"Is Zi Yan sick?"

Huo Yunzheng was about to call Yin Xiao when he heard a woman's voice behind him.

Turning around and taking a look at Chen Xinru who was coming out of the main hall, Huo Yunzheng was obviously displeased.

He had just relaxed his vigilance and did not notice Chen Xinru coming over. He was very dissatisfied with this eavesdropping behavior.

Without paying any attention to Chen Xinru's words, Huo Yunzheng dialed the phone.

"Please prepare some antipyretic and cold medicine and send them home. Zi Yan is at home."

Yin Xiao knew the address of his house, but Huo Yunzheng did not tell Chen Xinru about Wenxiu Garden in front of her.

Seeing that Huo Yunzheng had finished the call, Chen Xinru smiled faintly.

"Why didn't you bring Zi Yan back with you this time? Is he alone in Shanghai?"

Chen Xinru seemed to be very concerned about Huo Ziyan and added, "I also bought him toys. He seemed to like Lego very much, so I bought him two."

Huo Yunzheng put the phone into his pocket, his face indifferent, "No need to be so polite, Zi Yan has a lot of toys."

His son doesn't need it.

"After all, we will be a family in the future. It is my duty to take care of Zi Yan and treat him well."

Chen Xinru always smiled and remained gentle and considerate.

Huo Yunzheng glanced at her. Just because some things were not said openly did not mean that he was not aware of them.

"By the way, Grandpa just said that we should hold the wedding at the end of the year. Do you prefer a Chinese or Western style? Grandpa said that it depends on my wishes. I am fine with either. The main thing is to listen to you."

When Chen Xinru said this, her eyes instantly became extremely shy.

It is almost September now, and the elders of both families mean that if the wedding is held before the Chinese New Year, there will not be enough time to prepare.

Huo Yunzheng frowned slightly, said nothing, and walked to the main hall.

When Chen Xinru saw him like this, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed him.

As Chen Xinru said, in the main hall, the elders of the two families had even begun discussing the guest list.

Huo Yunzheng's father, Huo Shan, was playing with the walnuts in his hand, showing no interest. Even if it was his own son's wedding, he had no intention of participating.

Huo Yunzheng is the old man's favorite. The old man will take care of these things for him, and he, as his father, only needs to show up.

Shi Shi sat upright, talking to Madam Chen. She seemed to be smiling, but she was not happy at heart.

Huo Yunzheng walked over and said directly, "Grandpa, Uncle Chen, I'm afraid that the wedding at the end of the year won't be possible."

Chen Xinru followed him in and stood at the door.

Can't do it? What does that mean?

At once, everyone looked at Huo Yunzheng.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Huo asked, his tone obviously unhappy. How could this brat talk in front of the Chen couple?

"The branch's performance has just recovered. It will take at least a year to achieve the expected results. I will be in Shanghai most of the year. I am afraid that getting married at this time will be unfair to Miss Chen." Huo Yunzheng explained.

Chen Xinru listened and didn't think it was a big problem.

"It's okay. I'll take care of the wedding. You can go about your business. Shanghai isn't too far away. If necessary, I can go take care of you and Zi Yan."

As soon as Chen Xinru finished speaking, Chen Zongzhi scolded her, "Xinru, come and sit down."

Why would an unmarried girl take the initiative to do this? People who don't know would think that the Chen family is trying to curry favor with the Huo family, fearing that their daughter won't be able to get married, so they want to pay for it.

What Huo Yunzheng said just now was obviously an excuse.

Just as his daughter said, he didn't need to worry about the wedding ceremony and the guest list. He used work as an excuse to justify himself. Did he really think that the Chen family were fools?

This marriage was originally proposed by the Huo family. They were willing to marry their precious daughter to him because of the good match and the fact that he saved their lives.

"Look at how sensible Xinru is." Old Master Huo looked at his grandson with dissatisfaction, not allowing any doubt, "You are already thirty years old. No matter how important your work is, you have to get married first and start a family. This is an unchanging truth."

Huo Yunzheng's eyes dimmed.

He couldn't tell everyone that he was married right now, not because he was afraid of the Chen family, but because he was afraid of... the Huo family.

In the bar, Lin Ze looked at Huo Yunzheng who was drinking alone and knew that he was in a bad mood.

"Why, are you forced to get married?" Lin Ze asked with a smile.

Huo Yunzheng was silent.

"That woman Chen Xinru has decided on you. Besides, you started discussing this marriage a year ago, and she has already claimed the title of your fiancée."

During this period of time, he heard from his cousin that Chen Xinru has been called the young lady of the Huo family in the socialite circle in Beijing.
