A blind date, a flash marriage, and a stepmother, the billionaire praised her every day

Huo family in Beijing.

Chen Xinru brought some nutritional supplements and some fine tea sets.

Today is Shi Shi's birthday. Although Chen Xinru knows that Shi Shi is only Huo Yunzheng's stepmother, she has always done her best to save face.

In the main hall, Mr. Huo had someone prepare the white tea that Chen Xinru liked. Looking at the old man's attitude towards her, Chen Xinru knew that Huo Yunzheng had not yet completely confronted the old man.

She knew that Huo Yunzheng did not want this marriage, but this matter was not something he could decide alone.

It doesn’t matter whether Huo Yunzheng loves her or not. As long as she can win the favor of Grandpa Huo, the position of Mrs. Huo will be hers sooner or later.

"Xinru, you are so thoughtful that you still remembered my birthday. I'm sorry for spending money on you."

Shi Shi was wearing a modified cheongsam and had a gentle smile on her face, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Ever since the old man took a fancy to this girl and wanted to make her his grandson's wife, this girl has had more frequent interactions with their family.

Except for the old man, no one in the family was satisfied with this marriage, especially Shi Shi.

If Huo Yunzheng really married Chen Xinru, he would have an extra helper. Wouldn't her son have even less chance then?

"This is what I should do. Yun Zheng said you like silk. The last time I went to Shanghai, I saw this nice silk scarf. Auntie, take a look and see if you like it."

Hearing Chen Xinru say that she went to Shanghai, the old man of the Huo family smiled and asked, "Did you see Yun Zheng?"

Chen Xinru smiled shyly and nodded, "He's busy with work, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I happened to have a vacation some time ago, so I went over."

Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that the two of them had a good relationship and got along well.

"How is Yun Zheng? I haven't seen him for a long time. I think you are caring for me, Xinru." Shi Shi asked casually.

Logically speaking, he should have symptoms by this time.

"It's okay, there are just too many things to do and he looks a little tired." Chen Xinru said casually. As for the unpleasantness between her and Huo Yunzheng, she did not mention a word.

Shi Shi listened but did not respond.

Huo Yunzheng had initially offered to go to the branch in Shanghai, and she had thought he had discovered something. But when he went to Shanghai, there wasn't any big move.

That’s right, they did it so secretly, how could Huo Yunzheng find it easily?

Now that Chen Xinru said he looked tired, it seemed to be working.

Looking at the silk scarf in the box, Shi Shi smiled and said that she liked it very much. She also asked Chen Xinru to go for beauty treatments together when they were free.

It was almost noon and lunch was ready.

A young girl walked in from outside.

"Grandpa."

Huo Xiaonuan greeted her and glanced at Chen Xinru who was sitting in her living room with a unhappy expression.

"Oh, Miss Chen is here again. My second brother is not at home. Why are you here so diligently?"

Chen Xinru glanced at Huo Xiaonuan, who was Huo Yunzheng's cousin and Mr. Huo's granddaughter, who was about the same age as her.

It was said that when she was born, her mother had a difficult labor and suffered heavy bleeding, and she died. Mr. Huo felt sorry for his granddaughter, so he kept her by his side.

She had no connection with Huo Xiaonuan, but this woman always treated her coldly.

Chen Xinru didn't care. Apart from Old Master Huo and Huo Yunzheng, she didn't care about other people in the Huo family at all. It was enough for her to get along on the surface.

"Xiao Nuan, how can you talk like that?" Old Master Huo's tone became slightly heavier, but he did not blame her too much.

Among all the younger generations of the Huo family, except Huo Yunzheng, he loved this granddaughter the most.

Huo Xiaonuan rolled her eyes at Chen Xinru and sat aside.

Shi Shi looked at it, took a sip of tea, and a scornful smile flashed across his lips.

After having lunch at the Huo family, Chen Xinru did not stay long. When she was about to leave, Huo Xiaonuan stopped her again.

The housekeeper who sent Chen Xinru out looked at her and said, "Miss Third, you..."

The housekeeper wanted to remind Huo Xiaonuan not to deliberately embarrass Chen Xinru and make the old man unhappy, but he heard Chen Xinru speak.

"It's okay. Third sister has something to tell me. I'll listen. You go in first."

The housekeeper looked at them. Since he was an outsider, it was not convenient for him to interfere, so he could only go back first.

"You are acting like a hostess?" Huo Xiaonuan said disdainfully, "My second brother hasn't married you yet."

She didn't like the woman in front of her, and she didn't approve of her grandfather letting her second brother marry her.

Grandpa didn't know what kind of person she was, but she knew it very well.

This woman is always good at pretending.

"It's just a matter of time." Chen Xinru smiled faintly, as if she was determined to succeed.

"Is it so good to marry a man who doesn't have you in his heart? I really don't know whether to say you are brave or stupid? My second brother doesn't like you, can't you see that?" Huo Xiaonuan looked at her sarcastically.

Chen Xinru's eyes suddenly became cold.

"This has nothing to do with Third Sister. Instead of worrying about others, you should just take care of yourself."

Huo Xiaonuan looked at her and laughed even more happily. Chen Xinru was touched in a sore spot by her and her defense was broken.

She just didn't like this woman. She hated the sight of her. In her heart, this woman was not worthy of her second brother at all. She didn't know what kind of love potion the Chen father and daughter had given her grandfather.

Chen Xinru opened the car door and drove away.

Huo Xiaonuan returned to the Huo family humming a little tune. She saw Shi Shi standing in the yard trimming potted plants. She didn't say hello and completely ignored her.

Shi Shi turned her head and looked at her. This Huo Xiaonuan has always looked down on others. She has the same personality as Huo Yunzheng.

However, it is a good thing that she doesn't like Chen Xinru.

If Huo Xiaonuan could squeeze Chen Xinru out, it would save her a lot of trouble.

……

In Wenxiu Garden, Huo Yunzheng took Huo Ziyan home.

"Where's mom?"

Huo Ziyan walked around the house and didn't see Qiao Chuchu.

"Mom is out doing some work, she'll be back soon."

After Qiao Shuiqing got divorced, she wanted to open a flower shop to support herself and her child, but she didn't have enough money to open the shop. Qiao Zhengrong wanted to give some money to his daughter, but Zhou Su disagreed. It was said that the couple had a fight at home.

Qiao Chuchu received a call from Qiao Shuiqing and went back to see her uncle.

"Oh." Huo Ziyan was holding a painting in his hand. He had drawn it at school today and wanted to give it to his mother.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening and Qiao Chuchu had not returned yet.

Huo Yunzheng looked at the unanswered WeChat message and called Qiao Chuchu.

Display shutdown.

A feeling of uneasiness came over him, and Huo Yunzheng found Lu Yiming. He had helped Qiao Shuiqing with the lawsuit last time and had her contact information.

But on the phone, Qiao Shuiqing said that Qiao Chuchu left at around six o'clock.

"Dad, where is Mom?" Huo Ziyan's little face was filled with sorrow. "Is Mom in danger?"

Huo Yunzheng glanced at him, frowned, told him to stay at home, and took the car keys and went out.
