Chapter 368 Qiao Chuchu agrees to go back for the family dinner
"Secret, I won't tell you."
Qiao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. It was the first time she saw such a different side of Xiao Cheng.
Because of the nature of his work, Xiao Cheng always looked reserved and steady from the moment Qiao Chuchu returned to the Jing family and first met him.
Qiao Chuchu became even more confused.
Xiao Cheng looked at her little expression, which was so lively that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
"My mother's sister and Professor Wang's daughter-in-law are good friends."
Qiao Chuchu was stunned for a moment before she sorted out the relationship.
So that's how it is. No wonder Xiao Cheng was able to get in touch with Professor Wang.
After chatting in the teahouse, the group went to a nearby restaurant for dinner and did not leave until around nine o'clock in the evening.
Huo Yunzheng sent a WeChat message to his wife early in the morning, asking her what time the work would finish and coming to pick her up personally.
On the roadside, after seeing Professor Wang off, everyone greeted each other and prepared to leave.
A black Maybach drove up and stopped on the side of the road, attracting a lot of attention.
Huo Yunzheng got out of the car and walked directly towards Qiao Chuchu.
"You're here."
Because everyone knew in the teahouse just now that Qiao Chuchu was married, and there were also people present who followed the business news and knew who the Jing family's daughter married.
"He is Huo Yunzheng."
"Is it him, the head of Yunxi Group?"
"That's right, he is the heir of the Huo family, and Hua Ting Group is also his."
"That's really impressive. He must be quite wealthy."
"Needless to say, you and I can't compare, haha."
Huo Yunzheng walked up to his wife, smiled at her, and then looked at the other man standing next to his wife.
"Deputy Director Xiao."
Xiao Cheng could sense the hostility hidden in the brief greeting.
He just stood there, looking as gentle as ever.
"Mr. Huo."
After handing Qiao Chuchu's things to her, Xiao Cheng looked at Huo Yunzheng again, chuckled and said, "Mr. Huo came all the way here to pick up Xiaoxi in person. He must be worried that I can't take good care of her."
The words were ambiguous and Qiao Chuchu didn't understand the underlying meaning, but Huo Yunzheng had already taken note of him.
This guy really deserves a beating.
He is becoming more and more outrageous now.
"It's only natural for me to pick up my own wife. Deputy Director Xiao is worrying too much."
Xiao Cheng chuckled and didn't respond to him.
"You've been tired for so long, go back and rest early. I'll call you next time there's such an opportunity."
Huo Yunzheng lowered his eyes. Did he want there to be a next time?
"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Cheng."
Qiao Chuchu said goodbye, and seeing that there were other seniors who had not left, she nodded and followed Huo Yunzheng into his car.
On the way back, with the car window half open and the night breeze blowing, Qiao Chuchu fiddled with her mobile phone.
"Hey, Han Man and Qin Muyuan got their marriage certificate. So sudden?!"
She attended the banquet and hadn't looked through her Moments or group chat messages the entire afternoon. Now, when she saw the message Han Man sent in the group this afternoon, Qiao Chuchu was surprised and happy for her at the same time.
Qiao Chuchu scrolled through the chat history.
Han Man said that she had met Qin Muyuan's parents. To her surprise, Qin Muyuan's parents approved of her very much. They got their marriage certificate before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed.
In the group, Xu Ke was still joking, saying that Qin Muyuan didn't even ask for marriage, but directly put the girl on his family's household register, which was really too good for him.
Jiang Chuxia also agreed and asked Qin Muyuan to make up the proposal ceremony for Han Man.
"Honey, Han Man and Qin Muyuan are getting married, but you didn't give them any red envelopes?" Qiao Chuchu asked with a smile.
Qin Muyuan is his good brother and good employee.
Huo Yunzheng raised his lips, "This kid is not short of money. He asked me what to do for the wedding, and I taught him a lot, sharing all my experience with him."
Lu Yiming and Jiang Chuxia thought the wedding was too troublesome, so they didn't hold a big one. Among them, the only one with experience was Huo Yunzheng.
"Then I have to choose a gift carefully and prepare a gift for the occasion." Qiao Chuchu said.
Huo Yunzheng was driving and watching her browsing the shopping app. He said nothing, holding the steering wheel with both hands and looking at the road ahead.
But in his mind, all he could think about was what Xiao Cheng had just said.
That guy has been in contact with their baby quite frequently during this period, and he is being too attentive for no reason.
He said he would take Chu Chu to meet famous professors in the field, but what was he thinking? Chu Chu didn't know, but he knew it very well.
At night, inside Lishuiju.
After Qiao Chuchu finished washing up and lay down, she was embraced in a warm embrace.
"What are you doing? You just wanted to last night. We agreed to be moderate."
Huo Yunzheng laughed out loud, "Did I say anything? It's obviously your own imagination."
Qiao Chuchu listened to his words of blaming others. This man was extremely unreasonable and shameless.
Just as she raised her head and was about to say goodbye to him, a hot kiss fell on her lips.
That night, Qiao Chuchu just felt that there was something wrong with this man. He was crazier than ever before. She had been tormented for a long time and felt like she was about to fall apart.
He called her name over and over in her ear, calling her baby, calling her wife, and repeatedly asked her if she would leave him.
Qiao Chuchu didn't know why he was so insecure, but she still patiently said no.
When he was extremely tired and fell into a deep sleep, Huo Yunzheng still held her fingers together and didn't want to let go for even a second.
……
Almost a month passed, and during the Dragon Boat Festival, the Huo family held a family dinner.
Before that, Huo Liancheng personally called Lishuiju and asked Qiao Chuchu if she would come back for dinner this time so that the family could prepare.
Last time at the Yunxi Group's shareholders meeting, Huo Liancheng apologized to Qiao Chuchu in person.
Qiao Chuchu also didn't want Huo Yunzheng to be caught in the middle, even though Huo Yunzheng always told her that as long as she was happy, anything was fine.
The knot in the heart needs to be untied, and the barriers that can be eliminated should be eliminated as much as possible. This time, Qiao Chuchu agreed to go back with Huo Yunzheng.
Jing Boqian knew about it, but didn't say much.
The Jing family was still dissatisfied with the Huo family, and the few concessions they made were just in the hope that their granddaughter could have a happy family.
In the Huo family's old house, the housekeeper had been directing the servants to clean since early morning, and the entire courtyard was spotless.
Knowing that Qiao Chuchu likes flowers, I placed many pots of fresh flowers in the yard.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, preparing all kinds of fresh ingredients.
This time was much more grand than the first time Qiao Chuchu came to visit, which was enough to show how much Huo Liancheng valued his granddaughter-in-law now.
Shi Shi stood in the corridor, watching the people at home busying themselves, and couldn't help muttering to herself.
The old man did not ask her to prepare this family dinner, but gave it to the housekeeper.
He said that she had been busy recently and wanted to relax her.
But Shi Shi could see that Huo Liancheng had some opinions about her.
Shi Shi had no idea where this opinion came from. She had never made any mistakes in whatever she did these days, but Huo Liancheng did not trust her as much as before.
"Second brother, sister-in-law!"
As soon as Huo Xiaonuan came out of the front hall, she saw Huo Yunzheng and Qiao Chuchu coming in, and went to greet them with a smile.
Shi Shi's expression also changed, and she straightened her back, revealing her usual elegant and approachable appearance.
