The music was deafening, and the bodies of men and women twisted and danced under the colorful lights. Xihe pushed away the men who kept approaching and rushed to the club bathroom. He closed the bathroom door. In the mirror was a delicate little face drunk by alcohol.
Her face was heavily made up, and her red tight skirt reached down to her legs. Her legs were white and straight, and she wore black thin-strap high-heeled shoes.
She closed her eyes to absorb the memory - a few seconds later, the woman in the mirror suddenly opened her eyes. The old lady at home celebrated her sixty-sixth birthday. The original owner, the legitimate granddaughter-in-law, did not go to congratulate her, but came to the bar to have fun. It was amazing.
After tidying up, she opened the door. When someone called her on the street, she replied, "Go home to celebrate the old lady's birthday" and left straight away.
Half an hour later, the silver sports car stopped in front of a certain villa in the villa area in the east of the city. The lights inside were bright and lively, and laughter kept coming.
She searched in the car but couldn't find any decent clothes, so she gave up and got out of the car.
"Madam, you are back." A man who looked like a housekeeper came over.
"Yeah." She nodded slightly.
Walking into the living room, the people chatting and laughing all looked over, and the old lady in charge pulled her face down with a smile on her face.
Xihe didn't care about other people's eyes, and walked straight over, smiling broadly: "Grandma, this is a gift for you. I wish you happiness like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains." He handed the box over with both hands.
The old lady didn't answer, her eyes were disgusted: "You smell like alcohol, where have you been fooling around? Is this what Mrs. Huo does?"
A slender and tall figure flashed in Xihe's mind, and he changed the subject with a smile: "I just got together with friends. Look, this is the gift I brought you."
"Scoff" I don't know who laughed, and then there was a whisper in my ear, "The old lady is celebrating her birthday. She came back dressed like this. She doesn't take the old lady seriously at all." The Ning family has been defeated long ago. The president has no ability. Ning Man can continue to live like this because of the Huo family. "I have long heard that Mr. Huo and his wife are a superficial couple. It seems that the rumors are true"... The old lady's face became increasingly ugly and she waved her hand violently. Open that box.
Bang, the box fell to the ground, an emerald Buddha statue fell out, and the base cracked a corner.
The air suddenly became quiet downstairs. Everyone looked at the Buddha statue in surprise, then looked at Xihe and the old lady. They were all at a loss: "This, is this true?"
After saying that, he quickly shut up. Who is the Huo family? How could they come up with fakes to fool the old lady? It's just that... Xihe's eyes turned pitiful. So what if he tried his best to marry Mr. Huo?
The old lady was stunned. She didn't expect that this granddaughter-in-law, whom she had never liked, would actually give her such a valuable thing. She became more and more angry and glared at her: "Since it is a valuable thing, why don't you put it away properly and just take it as you please?" Are you dissatisfied with me for fooling me with a box?"
"Yes, Ning Man. You are the wife of the president of the Huo Group. Why can't you do this well? Today is the old lady's sixty-sixth birthday. The Buddha statue is broken. How unlucky." This is someone from the Huo family. relative.
"Ning Man, hurry up and apologize to the old lady, be careful when A Yuan comes back and scold you later." An uncle from outside the five clans.
Xihe: ...She really feels that she was wronged. She just came back from the nightclub and had no time to buy any gifts. This Buddha statue was taken casually in the space. She thought that the elderly would like this kind of thing, but who knew that she had just taken it out? It was knocked over, and now I blame her for not holding it properly.
Xihe knelt down and picked up the Buddha statue little by little. Although it was not a valuable thing, it was something that the dog had worked hard to find.
...The original owner and Huo Yuan were in a contract marriage. Three years ago, the Ning family's business failed and was in trouble, and the company was closed down. They suddenly thought that the deceased old man seemed to have a relationship with the Huo family, so they went to ask Huo Yuan, and Huo Yuan agreed, but the conditions were Ning Man married him, of course it was a contract marriage, and he would not do anything to her.
After three years of marriage, Huo Yuan was busy with work, leaving early and returning late. However, the original owner fell in love with him day after day. However, he unexpectedly learned from others that Huo Yuan had a first love. The reason why he married her was because she looked like her. Very similar.
According to the plot, the original owner kept numbing himself with alcohol and even didn't go to the old lady's birthday party. He eventually had a relationship with a stranger. The subsequent video was accidentally leaked and his reputation was ruined.
The two eventually divorced, one ended in disgrace, and the other married his sweetheart who returned to China in glory.
The contrast is really obvious. She sighed slightly, stood up and handed the broken jade to the housekeeper: "Put it away."
The old lady became even more unhappy when she saw her like this. She didn't know what confusion Huo Yuan had made in the first place, insisting on marrying such an unworthy woman. She was extremely disdainful: "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and let A Yuan marry you in the first place. Look at what you look like, how are you worthy of Mrs. Huo's position..."
"grandmother!"
A man in a suit and leather tie with a stern expression strode out.
He walked into the living room with steady steps, and his momentum made all the guests inexplicably afraid to speak. However, the old lady smiled happily and stood up hurriedly to greet him: "Ayuan, you are back? Are you tired? Sit down and rest... "
The man gently avoided her hand, walked to Xihe and held her hand.
The old lady and everyone else were stunned, watching helplessly as he took out a handkerchief from his chest and wiped Xihe's fingers clean little by little, with a slightly reproachful tone: "If it's broken, it's broken. It's not worth anything. What should I do if my hand is scratched?" "
Xihe's doubtful eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of his mouth turned upward: "Yeah."
Huo Yuan bent his eyes, led her to stand up, and turned to look at the others. Everyone looked away unconsciously and did not dare to look at each other. Huo Yuan curled his lips, but his expression was very cold: "Thank you for coming, old lady." It’s my birthday, remember to eat and have fun, I won’t be with you all since I want to spend time with my wife.”
They just said unpleasant things to his wife, how dare these people say anything now? Naturally, he smiled and asked him to go about his business.
Huo Yuan looked at the old lady and said, "Celebrate your birthday well, I'm taking Manman upstairs." After saying that, he pulled Xihe up the stairs, and soon the two figures disappeared at the top of the stairs.
The old lady couldn't believe it, her face was extremely dark, Huo Yuan actually dumped her face for this woman.
All the guests were embarrassed. They had known that they would not come today. After seeing such a big show in the Huo family, they didn't know whether they would care about it or not. And... I couldn't help but murmur in my heart that the old lady didn't seem to be number one in her grandson's heart as she said. On the contrary, Ning Man, who was not favored, was carefully cared for.
…
Upstairs, Xihe was exchanging information with Huo Yuan. When it came to the entanglement between the two original owners, she looked at Huo Yuan with a half-smile but said, "Contract marriage? It's quite a fun time."
Huo Yuan raised his hands in surrender with innocent eyes: "It's this body, not me."
"Haha," Xihe grabbed the man's tie, turned over and sat on him, and leaned over: "Tell me the truth, did you go to accompany your little lover when you came back so late today?"
