Gu Qingli, this was the first time Lu Anzhi heard this name.
In that 800-page PPT, there were people who had never appeared before, not even Li Jiu and Sister Zhang were mentioned.
Judging from Huo Zhiyan's other reactions, it seems that this woman is not simple to him.
The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. The old lady of the Huo family hurriedly asked her servants to pour tea for Lu Anzhi and said a few more words:
"An Zhi, Ayan just can't talk. That girl Qingli was indeed a good playmate with him, but it was more than ten years ago."
Then he pointed at Mr. Gu with his eyes: "Lao Gu, I remember Qingli went abroad in high school, right? She never came back."
Mr. Gu understood the idea and quickly added: "Yes, yes, this devil in our family is just like a boy. He has a loose temper and big ideas. He goes abroad as soon as he says he wants to go abroad. He is very difficult to discipline."
The old lady of the Gu family who was sitting next to her also followed closely: "Isn't that right? She had a foreign boyfriend a few years ago and they have children. Mu Qing must not know these things, so she dragged Ayan to talk nonsense. .”
Another old lady whose name couldn't be named exclaimed: "Huh? Qing Li gave birth to a baby? When did it happen? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"Boy! He's so beautiful. I have a photo here!"
"Show me quickly..."
As soon as the child appeared, the next topic turned into trivial matters about the Zhang family and the Li family.
Lu Anzhi held the tea cup and sipped it, and suddenly felt that these old men and women from wealthy families were no different from the second uncle and three aunts at the entrance of the village when they gossiped about their children and grandchildren.
Huo Zhiyan had calmed down his expression at this time and sat next to Lu Anzhi, but looked past her to his grandfather beside him.
"Grandpa, let's sit at another table. It's not very convenient here."
Huo Yinghua raised his eyebrows: "What's the inconvenience? Do you think they have arranged another seat for you?"
At this time, the old lady also glared at him: "I told you to sit here, just sit here, and don't be so harsh on me."
Huo Zhiyan opened his mouth, but choked back the unfinished words.
In this way, two young juniors sat unexpectedly among the old people.
I have to hold it while I drink tea, which is very uncomfortable.
Lu Anzhi looked at the tempting snacks on the table and smacked her lips, mourning for her belly.
Time passed by, and most of the guests who were supposed to come had arrived. On the contrary, the table where Mrs. Huo was sitting was quite empty.
Lu Anzhi counted in his mind, and the most important people didn't even show up.
While she was looking around quietly, a young girl in cool clothes with a short skirt that barely covered her vital parts sat down next to Mrs. Huo with a stinking face.
"Why are you here now? Where are your father and two brothers?" Mrs. Huo frowned at her.
Huo Shiyu started playing with her phone as soon as she sat down, a little absent-mindedly: "In the back, didn't the eldest brother just come back? They seem to be talking about very important things, and each of them looks like they have seen a ghost."
Mrs. Huo looked at the time and became more and more anxious: "What time is it? Is there anything we can't discuss before we sit down?"
Huo Shiyu's expression was indifferent. He raised his eyes and looked around. His eyes fell on the old lady's table. He suddenly turned his head and looked a few more times, and asked with some confusion:
"Mom, who is that woman sitting next to grandma? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Isn't she the woman who just got the license from that bastard? Her surname seems to be Lu, I don't remember what Lu is!" Mrs. Huo's expression was obviously unhappy, probably because she thought about the wall she had just encountered in front of the old lady.
"Huh?" Huo Shiyu frowned: "No... I heard from my eldest brother a few days ago that Huo Zhiyan found a third-rate starlet. He seems to be named Lin. The one from the Lin family. Mom, are you mistaken?"
Mrs. Huo clicked her tongue, a little annoyed: "How could there be a mistake? I just came back from that table, and that bastard introduced me personally."
Huo Shiyu refused to admit defeat: "No, last month my friend held a reception abroad. My eldest brother even asked me for a ticket. He said he wanted to get away from Huo Zhiyan's girlfriend. How could it be this woman?"
Mrs. Huo's expression suddenly changed. She quickly pulled her daughter over and whispered, "Are you sure?"
Huo Shiyu's face was full of affirmation: "Yes, if you don't believe me, just ask your elder brother."
"Okay, it turns out there is still something like this." Mrs. Huo's eyes flickered: "Mingxiao has been busy with the company's affairs during this time, so how can he have the energy to take care of these things? Shiyu, hurry up and tell your mother everything you know. .”
…
Ever since Lu Anzhi sat next to the old lady, her whole body seemed to be under a tight spell.
Just as he was about to tell Huo Zhiyan, the looks in the eyes of Mrs. Huo and her daughter made him feel uncomfortable, but he realized that Huo Zhiyan had been chatting politely with the grandparents at the same table and had no time to pay attention to her.
He was the one who told her to pretend to be in love before she came here, and it was he who was neglecting his wife now.
Man, I really think about it all the time.
Fortunately, the banquet started soon.
As soon as the first course of fish maw braised chicken was served, someone's belly growled unsatisfactorily.
Lu Anzhi shrank back suddenly. Fortunately, the family dinner was so crowded that no one seemed to notice.
When she looked up again, Huo Zhiyan had already started filling soup for grandma.
"Put down the bowl." The old lady said quietly: "I don't have a husband? When did you have to rush to do this kind of thing? Take care of your wife first."
After saying that, he glared at Huo Yinghua: "You, an old man, don't know how to take a good lead."
Huo Yinghua's hand holding the bowl shook: "I'm asking your grandson to show off first..."
The old lady teased him with a smile, and gave Lu An Zhi the chicken legs in her bowl: "An Zhi, eat more. If A Yan doesn't take good care of you, tell grandma immediately, and grandma will definitely stand up for you."
Lu Anzhi's eyes lit up when she saw the chicken legs: "Thank you, grandma. Don't worry, grandma, Ayan is very good to me."
Eat, eat, and play enough.
After speaking, she glanced at the man next to her who was slowly serving her soup: "Right, hubby..."
The spoon in Huo Zhiyan's hand trembled and he almost lost his grip.
He cleared his throat and smiled: "Of course."
After speaking, he leaned into Lu Anzhi's ear and added in a tough tone that could not be criticized: "Be careful about your appearance when you eat."
Lu Anzhi's rocker straightened instantly, and she suppressed the thought of chewing chicken legs with her bare hands.
Then he very reluctantly used chopsticks to carefully tear open the skin of the chicken leg, and it took him a long time to pick up a small piece of meat.
Don't grab and chew the chicken leg, it is a leg without a soul...
I thought that eating chicken drumsticks politely was the limit.
I never expected that the next dishes would be table killers without exception!
Steamed king crab, charcoal grilled lamb chops, and palm-sized nine-section shrimp.
Obviously they were all eating the same dish, but with the help of servants, the table was full of old men and old ladies who were eating deliciously, but in Lu Anzhi's hands, they were in trouble.
She wasn't used to being served by others, and it wasn't easy for her to do it directly.
After finishing the meal in a hurry, Huo Zhiyan looked at her with eyes that were almost quenched with anger.
When the dishes were almost finished, a few figures walking in the wind arrived belatedly.
When he came out of the backyard, everyone present looked at him.
The leader, a middle-aged man, has a stern look and is dressed in a crisp Chinese suit. His words and deeds carry an aura of calmness and authority.
