Huo Sijue chuckled to himself, raised his lips with a bit of pride, and pulled Nanzhi into his arms.
Nan Xi's face immediately turned ugly. She glanced at Huo Simian timidly, hoping to get comfort from the man, but Huo Simian still smiled without changing his expression.
He looked gentle and gentle, not like someone who would go crazy.
Comparing the two Huo brothers, they are not normal. One is as cold as ice and ruthless, while the other looks gentle but is actually crazy.
Nan Xi took a breath of air and squeezed the cup in her hand tightly.
"Are you thirsty?" Huo Simian suddenly looked at her and smiled softly.
Nan Xi was so frightened that her hands shook, and 70 to 80% scalding water was poured onto the hem of her skirt.
"sorry…"
The man's fingers were so white that they were almost sickly. He picked out a tissue and gently helped her wipe off the water stains on her skirt.
"We are husband and wife, there is no need to be so polite." Huo Simian emphasized the last two words, making Nan Xi tremble.
She smiled unnaturally, but she wanted to maintain the superficial "love". Compared with Nanzhi's comfort sitting next to Huo Sijue, it was completely different.
She comforted herself that it didn't matter. When Nanzhi first married into the Huo family, she also endured Huo Sijue's cheating for three years. They were no different...
"You still know how to come back?"
Grandma Huo, who had been silent, glared at Huo Sijue, and her eyes gradually fell on Nanzhi.
In the past, she only thought that this girl was docile, well-behaved and easy to control. But I don’t want to become so angry now!
"If you don't come back, this girl will eat me!" Grandma Huo sneered, her words mean.
Grandpa still doesn’t know about their divorce. Grandma Huo didn't want to be disappointed on the big day, but she couldn't bear to be kicked out of Banshan Manor by Nazhi that day.
Her eyes wandered, she lowered her eyes and said with a smile: "Xiao Xi must hurry up and give birth to a grandson after entering the house. After all, our Huo family has only a few heirs in recent years, and Si Jue is not very lucky."
These words were a slap in Nanzhi’s face in front of everyone.
She clenched her fists and held back for the sake of her great grandfather.
"Don't worry, I will try my best." Nan Xi breathed a sigh of relief and her face looked better.
As long as she says bad things about Nanzhi, she can find a trace of confidence.
"What's the effort?"
Huo Simian smiled without changing his face, and said with cold red lips: "Isn't it too early to say such things before we are married?"
"Grandma, you are too anxious."
Nan Xi suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
With so many people watching, it seemed like she was in too much of a hurry. Besides, Huo Simian was still immobile, so how could she give birth to this child?
The image that flashed through her mind was enough to make her blush and crawl into a crack in the ground. After saying this, everyone at the table laughed.
This engagement was originally a joke.
Who in the Huo family doesn't know that Huo Simian is useless?
He has no ambition, no strength, and he doesn’t even know if he can have children.
Now he is married to his sister-in-law's biological sister. If he says that he has no other thoughts, no one will believe him. But even if he had it, what would he do if he was a loser?
Listening to the snickers on the table, Nan Xi was too shy to look up.
Nanzhi was eating the small dessert in the bowl. When he raised his eyes, he saw Huo Simian looking at him with a smile. He didn't know if it was an illusion.
At that moment she clearly felt a man's desire for a woman from him.
"I will be satisfied if Xiao Xi can be as dignified and virtuous as my sister-in-law from now on."
Huo Simian smiled with crooked eyebrows and looked well-behaved, "Brother and sister-in-law are a match made in heaven. Xiao Xi and I are also engaged now. We should get closer as we continue to kiss each other in the future."
Speaking of this, Bai Fen looked at Nanzhi provocatively and said with a smile, "Ever since Xiaozhi married away, the sisters rarely get to be together as much as before."
"so--"
Huo Simian looked at the old man and asked, "I hope Xiao Xi can stay with my sister-in-law and learn to be a housekeeper."
puff--
Nanzhi almost spit out a mouthful of soup.
When did she take care of the house?
Previously, I lived with Grandma Huo, and Aunt Zhang was still in charge of the house, so it was not her turn to worry at all.
"I…"
"Xiao Xi still has a lot to learn. I hope my sister-in-law won't think she's stupid." Huo Simian didn't give Nanzhi a chance to refuse.
"But I-"
Just as Nanzhi was about to speak, Grandma Huo spoke, "What kind of family can she take care of? It would be great if she could give birth to a fat grandson. What will be the result?"
"No response for three years."
As soon as Grandma Huo finished speaking, the elders at the table looked at Nanzhi strangely.
Someone had already asked whether Nazhi was infertile. I didn't expect it to be true...
The two sisters are like dishes on the table, and everyone can take a piece of it.
"It's not possible if I can't have a baby. Do you want to try some folk remedies?" My cousin was gossipy and warm-hearted and hit it off with Grandma Huo.
"If you don't want to have a baby, you just don't want to have a baby. We, Xiaozhi, are not here to be a child-birth machine." Huo Sijue was silent for a while, and stopped everyone in the room with one sentence.
He not only protected her, but also insinuated that the Huo family women were eager to use children to consolidate their status.
Grandma Huo gave birth to three children that year, her cousin gave birth to four, and the other seven aunts and eight aunts gave birth to at least two in each family on average. Just because they have many children, they are all thinking about my great-grandfather’s fortune.
If Nan Zhi is born, Yi Yi will have nothing to do with them at all.
On the surface, they are worried that Huo Sijue will have no heirs, but in fact, the businessman only sees those interests, which cannot be brought to the table at all.
"Look at what you said, isn't this all about you? Now that you are in your thirties, how can you not have children? The best years to have children are only those few years. If a woman..."
Before the cousin could finish her words, Huo Sijue blocked her back with a stern look.
He had a sullen face and his eyes were like star knives, killing people invisible.
"My cousin likes to give birth so much, so she will give birth by herself, and I will ask Xiaozhi to take care of it for you."
"You will work even harder for the Huo family."
She is over fifty years old, what else can she give birth to?
She suppressed her anger and suppressed it.
Huo Sijue is now the top leader of the Huo family. Even if they are senior, those of them who rely on the family will still have to look at him.
But when these words fell into Grandma Huo's ears, she was even more annoyed. She stared at Nanzhi with a half-smile but said, "If you are really in trouble, why not just change it. Maybe it will be born through Mingxi."
"Then the child will still be in your name. Regardless of male or female, he will be your child."
"enough!"
Grandpa couldn't stand hearing it anymore, "You are already old, why are you still angry over this?"
"Old man, most of my body has been buried, and I didn't bother to urge my precious great-granddaughter-in-law. You are all worrying about me blindly!"
After Grandpa finished scolding, the entire table fell silent for an instant.
Huo Sijue smiled without showing his teeth. His eyes fell gently on Nanzhi, who had been immersed in eating, and said: "Who said it was difficult? My wife is working hard every day to adjust her body just so that she can give birth to a fat boy for me. "
"Girls are fine too, I like them all."
Huo Sijue raised his hand and rubbed Nanzhi's hair tenderly, as if comforting a beloved treasure that he would not give up to show to others.
Nanzhi was eating her meal. She couldn't swallow a single bite and her face turned red as she choked. Many eyes on the table looked at her.
She said bravely, "It's...it's conditioning. If you are in good health, the child you will give birth to will be healthy."
After saying this, Huo Sijue glanced at the crowd of people proudly, showing off like a child.
Nan Xi's eyes turned red, she buried her head and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
…
Nan Xi stared at herself in the mirror, like a zombie.
Just as she was about to go out, Su Ling followed her in. When she saw an acquaintance, she quickly wiped away her tears.
Not surprised, Su Ling came to her side and turned on the faucet. She said in an indifferent tone, "When Grandpa had his birthday party earlier, you weren't in such a mess."
Su Ling sneered and looked at Nan Xi with disdain.
According to family background, the Su family is a few blocks ahead of the Nan family. To put it bluntly, the Nan family is just on the doorstep of the upper class circles in Kyoto. It is incomparable to families like them who have been in business for generations.
"It has only been a few months, and you have already sneaked into Huo Simian's side. Should I say congratulations to you, or wish you a baby soon?"
Su Ling's words were full of criticism, and Nan Xi couldn't get off the stage for a while.
After all, she is also the eldest daughter of Nan, how can she bear this anger.
"Miss Su, there is no need to laugh at me. Isn't your own marriage a mess? Huo Simian and I were at least arranged by our parents, and it was also a marriage that my great-grandfather took care of."
"When will you and Master Jiang get married?"
Jiang Jinxing was a thorn in Su Ling's heart. Her expression changed instantly when this name was mentioned.
The delicate little slap face is cold and ruthless. She looked Nan Xi up and down with disdain and sarcastically said, "Nan Xi, you should take a good look in the mirror. For someone as disabled as Huo Simian, you are too high to marry him."
"Who calls him a member of the Huo family?"
"And I, even if I am not Jiang Jinxing, I will be the best man in Kyoto to stand by my side. This is the difference between you and me."
Su Ling put her hands around her waist and circled around Nan Xi, not wanting to go around in circles anymore, "I know you and Nan Zhi are not on good terms."
She didn't believe it at first, but after several times, Su Ling had to doubt the relationship.
The most important thing is that she doesn't believe that Huo Simian doesn't have wild ambitions.
Everyone thought that he was useless because of his broken legs, but Bai Fen was not a fool. If Huo Simian was really worthless, how could she be willing to force her daughter on him?
Su Ling sarcastically asked, "Are you interested in cooperating?"
Nan Xi always felt that Su Ling was a little different from when they first met.
"What do you want?" she responded tentatively.
As if Su Ling had expected it, she took a few steps closer, leaned over and said a few words in Nan Xi's ear.
She was so frightened that she couldn't believe it was Su Ling's idea.
"Are you crazy? That's Huo Sijue's woman."
"So what? There are not many Yingying Yanyan around him? Even if it is framed on Gu Mingxi, it is logical."
Su Ling smiled quietly. She had long been heartbroken after losing her beloved, and now she just wanted revenge! And the first thing she has to do is to make Nanzhi, a liar, pay the price!
"I know what you are planning, but let me remind you, Huo Simian is not that easy to get along with."
Su Ling's smile was particularly meaningful, her slender fingertips fell on Nan Xi's heart, and she lowered her voice and said, "There will be a huge price to pay."
