The president's words are powerful. As soon as he finished, the waiter came running with a pair of flat shoes. He was stifling his breath. He should be very tired.
Huo Qingchuan took the shoes from the waiter and squatted down in front of me.
I got nervous and quickly bent down, "I'll do it myself, I'll change it myself!"
The man looked up at me, just to my eyes, and then he laughed, "originally I didn't want to help you change ah, people can't feel good about themselves."
Hateful, I said in silence in my heart, and then took off the high-heeled shoes.
Huo Yining has been called away again. There are only two of us left.
After changing my shoes, I stood up with the handle of the chair. Although I still felt a little pain on my feet, it didn't hurt as much as before.
"Can you walk on your own?" Huo Qingchuan stretched out a hand and seemed ready to catch me at any time.
I won't give him another chance to laugh at himself. I took a step and tried to keep myself away from him. I watched him warily.
"I'll be fine. I can go back myself." I said, "I don't think I'm needed here." In fact, there is another meaning. I didn't say that since Shen Ruoci has gone, I don't need to stay and watch them.
"Are you sure?" Huo Qingchuan looked at me suspiciously.
"Sure, I can get a taxi while it's still early." I said.
"I really flatter you," Huo Qingchuan said. "What do you think of this as? This is Huo's club. How can you take a taxi back?"
"If not, send a car to take me back," I said cheerfully. "I'm afraid I'll disgrace the Huo family." With that, I motioned for my slippers.
The perfect and decent dress should be reflected in every detail. Now I've put on plain flat shoes, which is quite different from just now. The Huo family all love face. How can I do that?
Huo Qingchuan squinted at me and didn't speak.
There must be some dissatisfaction with my wording, I think. But it doesn't matter. With his attitude towards me now, more opinions won't have much influence.
"Then I'll go." Leave a word, I walk towards the exit step by step.
"Wait a minute!" Head on came Huo Yining, blocking my way, "I send my sister-in-law home." He seemed to say it to Huo Qingchuan behind me.
"What nonsense, how can you leave?" I looked up and said to him, what is a banquet without the hero.
"Don't worry, I'll tell you everything. My uncles and aunts also said that I can go. They'll come to take care of the aftermath." Huo Qingchuan explained to me.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law really love this nephew, and even indulge him to this point.
"Then you can go back together, so I can rest assured." Huo Qingchuan came over and said.
"Come on, I'll hold you. It's hard to see your feet." With Huo Qingchuan's consent, Huo Yining and I went to the exit of the auditorium.
"It's OK. It's much better." I said to him.
"Let the doctor have a look after you go back. If you hurt your muscles and bones, it's not good." Also did not force me to accept his kindness, Huo Yining still care said.
"This little thing... I smile," it's no big deal. "
"Yining?" Go to the door, next to someone called Huo Yining, and is kind of called his name.
I looked out at the source of my voice and saw a middle-aged couple in gorgeous clothes with extraordinary bearing. Women wear appropriate makeup and a high-grade ice silk shawl; Although a man is middle-aged and fat, he can't hide his upper class temperament.
"Third uncle!" I don't know people, Huo Yining but a recognized, he slightly surprised walked past.
He called each other "third uncle". I think this couple are also relatives of the Huo family. As Huo Qingchuan's wife, it would be very impolite if I didn't say hello.
Three people immersed in the joy of relatives meet, my appearance is a bit out of time.
To tell you the truth, the Huo family's kinship group is too strong. I met these people at the wedding, and I really can't remember this face.
"This is..." the middle-aged man looked at me and hesitated. "It's Qingchuan's wife."
"Yes, her name is Chi Wan. It's my sister-in-law." Huo Yining took the initiative to introduce us, "this is the third uncle and the third aunt."
Can't remember, always follow Huo Yining call won't make a mistake, I to two people slightly bent body, "three uncle good, three aunt good."
The man showed a shallow smile, "my name is Huo qiangming, is Qingchuan and Yining's uncle, this is my wife, su."
As an elder, I was very moved to explain this to my younger generation. I said to them with a smile, "sorry, uncle and aunt. Maybe I only saw you at the wedding, so I don't remember."
"Ha ha ha," the man laughed, "it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, who let the Huo family genealogy so complicated, don't blame you."
Huo qiangming's frankness surprised me. Her aunt, surnamed Su, laughed with her. She was a woman's follower.
"Third uncle, third aunt, my sister-in-law and I are going back. Have a good time." At this time, Huo Yining stood up again and said to them.
"Leaving so early? The play hasn't started yet. " Huo qiangming looked a little surprised.
"Don't look, don't look," Huo Yining waved, "sister-in-law some uncomfortable, can't let her overwork, otherwise the child can't stand."
"Child?" Aunt Su finally spoke out.
"Well, sister-in-law, she's pregnant." Huo Yining said.
Two people look at my eyes immediately changed some, but the meaning of the complex eyes, I really can't distinguish.
But the elder is the elder, they quickly made a reasonable response, "good pregnancy, good pregnancy, hurry to add children to the Huo family, the next generation should be trained early."
I'm a little embarrassed about what I said. I can only laugh with you.
"Well, let's go first." Huo Yining did not follow the topic, but said goodbye to them.
It's completely dark, but fortunately it's summer, and the temperature is just right at this time.
Huo Yining drove the car to me, and then opened the door for me thoughtfully.
"Be careful." He told me from behind.
This younger brother is too concerned about me. Watching him go around the front of the car and back to the driver's seat, I thought silently.
The car was still started smoothly. Huo Yining tapped the steering wheel. We gradually left the club which was still brightly lit and drove to Huo's house in the eastern suburb.
He didn't speak all the way. I was inexplicably embarrassed in the co pilot's seat, so I decided to find something to say.
"Enin, can I call you that in private?" I looked at the man's side face. For a moment, I could see the shadow of Huo Qingchuan on his face.
"Of course!" Huo Yining smiles to the front, "everyone calls it that, of course you can call it that."
"But your father-in-law, mother-in-law and Qingchuan all call you Xiaoning. Will you be closer?" I joked.
"En..." Huo Yining held the steering wheel with one hand and looked at me with a slanted face. "I don't mind, but I always feel that it's still the child who hasn't grown up."
Feeling his resistance to the name "Xiaoning" in the words, I nodded clearly, "it shows that you are a beloved existence in their eyes."
"Love something," Huo Yining said with a smile, "since my parents died, I don't understand what love is."
The light in the car was a little dim, shining on his angular and soft facial features, casting a shadow. At that moment, I seemed to feel a strange emotion from his words.
I think of the sadness of losing my parents. No wonder it's like this, I think.
"I'm sorry." Anyway, I started this topic, and I always feel a little embarrassed.
"Why do you apologize? There's nothing wrong with that. " Huo Yining immediately changed his appearance, and the negative indifference just disappeared. "I have lived in Huo's family for nearly ten years. My uncle and aunt really raised me like a son. You are right."
decade? So, when he was a teenager, his parents were gone?
Because of this shocking conclusion, I saw his eyes filled with pity.
"What, is that look in your eyes sympathizing with me?" I don't know where he saw my eyes, and then said in a helpless tone.
I responded, "no, no, I just think, enin, you're really a good kid."
I don't know where this conclusion comes from or how to say it. In a word, that's what I want to say. Because I can't imagine the life without parents since I was a child. He must have suffered a lot and been obedient and sensible since he was a child.
"This praise is really unpleasant." Huo Yining said, "but praise is always praise, I accepted."
When the car stopped at a red light, Huo Yining held the steering wheel in one hand and looked at me sideways, "but I'm not what you said to be a good child."
I didn't care about his words, because at the moment, my pity for him is greater than his harmless joke.
We returned to Huo's home at 9:30. It's strange that Huo Qingchuan has been waiting in the living room.
"Where have you been?" Seeing the two of us enter the room, Huo Qingchuan stands up.
"Brother, why did you come back to the party?" Huo Yining asked.
"My father was there to deal with the aftermath, and I had to prepare a meeting tomorrow, so I came back ahead of time." Huo Qingchuan light explanation way.
"I see," Huo Yining nodded, "why don't you come with us?"
"I just saw your car when I came out, but you left without stopping." Huo Qingchuan looked at his brother, "and he came back later than me."
"I haven't been back for a long time. The city has changed so much that I'm a little lost." Huo Yining said with a smile“ But I sent my sister-in-law back safely. "
Then he winked at me.
What? What does this look mean? Do you want me to do something? I don't know.
