Chapter 195

"OK." Huo Chengzhou smiled and said, "well... Good night."

Joan raised her hand and pressed out the lamp: "good night."

Listening to her tone, Huo Chengzhou smiled silently.

……

For several days, Huo Chengzhou insisted on playing toys with Qin Yining at night, telling bedtime stories, and listening to the voices of two people, one big and one small, coming and going. Joan was used to such days.

In the twinkling of an eye, at the end of the month, old Mu's eighty birthday.

Huo Qingshan said hello to Huo Chengzhou in advance. He wanted to attend with Joan that day, and specially asked Huo Chengyun to prepare a dress for Joan.

The dress arrived just the day before. Joan had an interview in front of aunt Fang. The light blue dress was elegant and gentle, and the lining Joan was elegant and dignified.

With the dress came a butterfly brooch, which added a touch of playfulness.

Aunt Fang praised: "Miss Qiao, this dress looks like a fairy on you."

Qin Yining also applauded: "good looking, mom Qiao is really good-looking."

Joan naturally couldn't see it, but after listening to this feedback, she was happy to send thanks to Huo Chengyun and made an appointment to come back for dinner next time.

It was still early. Joan went upstairs and changed her dress. When Huo Chengzhou came back, Joan was already wearing home clothes and playing the piano downstairs with Qin Yining.

"My sister said the dress was delivered. Did you try it?" Huo Chengzhou asked.

"Tried." Aunt Fang replied with a smile: "don't mention how beautiful it is."

Huo Chengzhou's eyebrows and eyes showed a touch of regret: "tried? Why didn't you wait for me to come back."

Joanne stopped her movements. "I'll wear it tomorrow."

Huo Chengzhou thought for a moment and said, "tomorrow afternoon, we'll go to the mansion to pick up dad, and our family will go there together."

Joan hesitated: "I forgot to tell you something in advance. I'll follow Mr. Ling first tomorrow."

Father Ling again.

Huo Chengzhou's face sank: "what's the matter?"

"I promised Mr. Ling that there would be a performance at Mr. Mu's birthday party tomorrow. I'm estimated to play 2-3 songs, so I have to go with Mr. Ling to see Mr. Mu first." Joanne tried to explain it in detail.

Huo Chengzhou frowned slightly. The relationship between Joan and the Ling family seemed to be deeper than he thought.

He strongly suspected that master Ling wanted to train Joan into his granddaughter-in-law.

When he didn't speak, Joan thought for a moment: "I can take the performance fee, and I've promised the old man. It's really hard to change my mind."

Hearing the performance fee, Huo Chengzhou understood: "it's for money again?"

Joanne pursed her lips: "well... It doesn't count, but money must be on the one hand. After all, the family has a lot of expenses now, and your company has just started. Of course, the most important thing is that I promised Mr. Ling a favor."

Huo Chengzhou raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows. It was that he had to pretend to be poor. At present, Joan was desperately trying to make money. What else could he do?

After a long silence, Huo Chengzhou could only say, "in fact, in addition to the money I saved before, I still have a little investment here. My family will not be short of money. You don't have to take these extra money in the future. Just concentrate on the work of the piano company."

Joanne turned to look in his direction: "didn't you spend all your money on this piano? The company is also in a hurry to spend money."

Huo Chengzhou gave a deep breath: "I'm also the young master of the Huo family. I'm not really poor.

Joan's eyes were dignified: "so you were lying to me before?"
