The family dinner came as scheduled.
Su Wanwan sent three sets of dresses this time. In addition to the one she showed Lu Anzhi on her phone last time, there was also a set of simple and modern short dresses and a set of traditional Chinese-style cheongsam.
Although Lu Anzhi likes the backless fishtail dress, she always thinks it is too exaggerated. It is just a family dinner. There seems to be no need to wear this kind of dress that is the most beautiful in the world.
As for the short skirt and cheongsam, Lu Anzhi was a little embarrassed, but both were quite good.
She stood in front of the dressing mirror and struggled for a long time. Huo Zhiyan's voice slowly came from behind.
"Wear the cheongsam first, then bring the other two pieces with you, and put on the matching jewelry as well."
Sister Zhang went down to work after hearing the instructions, and the others also retreated with great discernment.
They were the only two people left in the huge cloakroom.
"Oh, no..." Lu Anzhi stamped her feet, looked at Sister Zhang's leaving figure and said angrily: "Why are you running so fast? Who can help me zipper when you are gone!"
"I'm not a human being?" Huo Zhiyan looked indifferent and stood side by side with her in front of the fitting mirror, sorting out his suit.
The two people in the mirror looked at each other for a second, then looked away.
Today he wore well-tailored black trousers and an apricot diamond-patterned shirt. The collar and cuffs were specially designed, making him look less formal but still elegant.
On the other hand, Lu Anzhi's makeup is simple and decent, and her figure is slim. Although she hasn't changed her clothes yet, she still looks dazzling in her nightgown.
Huo Zhiyan raised the corner of his mouth imperceptibly. When he glanced at the woman's neck from the corner of his eye, he reminded her: "Don't wear this necklace with fine diamonds. It doesn't match. Wear a cheongsam with jadeite."
"Oh!" Lu Anzhi acted as a tool obediently, turned around and walked into the changing room to change.
In order to fit into these clothes, she had eaten a piece of steak, a few vegetables, rice buns and other carbohydrates from last night to now, without even daring to touch them.
She was afraid that the clothes she had prepared would not fit in, and the sponsor would get angry and say that there was something wrong with her manners.
Lu Anzhi stood in the changing room with mixed emotions.
Every cell is shouting, it’s so hard to make money these days!
COSPLAY still needs to be hungry, ruthless!
After a while, she put on her cheongsam and paused, then hesitantly shouted outside: "Hey, Huo Zhiyan, you...come in."
Huo Zhiyan followed the sound and found a narrow changing room, and suddenly frowned.
There was no such changing room originally. Lu Anzhi felt it was awkward to change clothes in front of a bunch of mirrors, so she and Li Si discussed adding an extra one.
Li Jiu is not good at carpentry, but his cousin is especially good at it.
When Lu Anzhi returned from a day in the factory, a fitting room just big enough to accommodate her was opened.
Both the color and style match the existing dressing room, but...it's a bit small.
When I originally designed it, I probably never thought that a man would be inserted into it.
Lu Anzhi, whose entire back was exposed, turned sideways and shouted, "Come in and help me."
Huo Zhiyan coughed lightly and squeezed in: "Can't you come out?"
He clung to the wall, but some part of his body still inevitably touched the softness behind Lu Anzhi.
Lu Anzhi felt a heat behind her, and quickly turned sideways, using more force on this side to squeeze the man.
Huo Zhiyan snorted and scolded in a dumb voice: "Don't move."
Lu Anzhi froze, not daring to move anymore. She just stood like a sculpture with her back to him. For the first time, she felt an indescribable part of a man pass behind her.
"Okay." Huo Zhiyan's voice was low.
It only took a second to zip up, but it felt like a century had passed to her.
When he turned around, Huo Zhiyan had already walked to the door and said without looking back: "I'll wait for you in the car."
Lu Anzhi was stunned for a moment and stood for half a minute before she regained consciousness.
Just now...we bumped into...where?
…
It was still the familiar Cullinan. Huo Zhiyan especially loved to drive this car on important occasions.
In the spacious back seat, Lu Anzhi rubbed his hands with some restraint, and his mind was filled with the scene in the fitting room just now.
His lowered eyes began to glance around uncontrollably.
"Can't you just calm down?" Huo Zhiyan said solemnly: "It's not that easy after entering the Huo family. I advise you to close your eyes and rest for a while."
Lu Anzhi stuck out her tongue and looked away with a guilty conscience: "It's so scary. Since you know you're not welcome there, why do you still have to join in the fun?"
She has always been a little confused. The legs are on her body. She knows that there is a tiger in the mountain, so she should retreat immediately!
This is Lu Anzhi's principle of life. If something makes her uncomfortable, she will turn around and leave.
People who make her uncomfortable will be ignored even if they meet.
Of course, she just asked casually, never expecting that Huo Zhiyan would pay attention to her.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly sat upright, turned his head to look at her, and explained with a serious expression: "It's grandma's wish. Today is also her eightieth birthday. She wants me to have a reunion dinner."
Perhaps because he was afraid that something would go wrong after Lu Anzhi went in, Huo Zhiyan was rarely a little more patient with her today.
Lu Anzhi paused: "She wants you to...recognize your ancestors and return to your clan?"
After much thought, she could only think of these four words.
"That's pretty much what it means. I haven't officially returned to the Huo family for many years. Grandma hopes that I can put aside my past grudges. This can be regarded as fulfilling her wish."
Lu Anzhi understood, raised the corner of her mouth, and comforted: "It's okay, it's just a meal, I'll go with you!"
These few words were spoken with so much passion that those who didn't know thought she was going to blow up the bunker with all her strength.
Huo Zhiyan glanced at her and was inexplicably amused by her fearless appearance: "I hope you can still be in such high spirits when you come back."
The entire Huo family, except for the grandparents, really wanted him to go.
Who among the rest would welcome him?
However, today is different from the past. A large part of the reason why Huo Zhiyan agreed to grandma this year is that his business territory has begun to take shape. Today, he is no longer the weak and bully he used to be.
It's time to go back to the Huo family and make your attitude clear.
"Do you know all the information I gave you by heart?"
"You mean that 800-page PPT?" Lu Anzhi blinked and boasted: "Are you kidding? I graduated from a prestigious school after all, so 800 pages is nothing. Give me another one and I can recite it to you! "
"Oh?" Huo Zhiyan's smile continued. Sometimes he felt strange that this woman seemed to have a special magic power, and any difficulties seemed to be nothing in her eyes.
When you are with her, your mood will relax unconsciously.
He couldn't help but raise his hand, wanting to pull the folds of her clothes, but he paused midway, raised it, rubbed it on her hair, and said half-jokingly: "So I underestimated you?"
Lu Anzhi pushed the hand away and muttered: "Don't mess up my hairstyle. Sister Zhang sprayed half a bottle of hairspray for me."
Huo Zhiyan smiled and ignored her.
Li Jiu, who was driving in the front seat, also laughed together at first, and his eyebrows drooped as he smiled.
If the boss's mother was still alive, she would definitely be very happy to see a lively and lovely wife like the young mistress accompanying the boss.
Both mother and son are extremely gentle people at heart.
Cullinan slowly drove out of the city and wound into a manor.
Lu Anzhi had never been to this place before. She had only heard that there was a special wealthy area on the outskirts of Yongcheng, but that was all. When she actually stepped into this manor, she realized that the word "haoheng" could mean So specific.
