"Aunt!"
Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Jing Xue had already called out to her with a smile.
She knew that Huo Chang Yuan and this aunt had always been close, so she also loved to stay at home and wanted to curry favor with him.
Huo Rong also laughed, but still waved her hand and said, "Don't! Jing Xue, don't call me aunt first. I'm not used to it, you can call me Director Rong or Aunt Rong! "
"Aunt Rong." Lu Jing Xue's smile did not change.
"Ai!" Huo Rong very straightforwardly agreed, and then she took Lin Wan Bai's arm, and said very intimately, "Little White, let's go eat some fruits in the living room. It just so happens that Aunt has something to tell you!"
With that, he brought Lin Wan Bai and left.
Lu Jing Xue, who had been left at her original position, had a very ugly expression on her face.
"Don't be afraid, I'll cover for you tonight!" Huo Rong laid beside her ear and whispered, "If she finds another chance to talk to you, just call me, and I will help you take revenge on her!"
"Aunt, thank you …" Lin Wan Bai said sincerely.
"If you're very touched, do you have to give me something in return?" Huo Rong slowly raised her eyebrows.
"Uh, what kind of reward do you want?" Lin Wan Bai blinked his eyes.
Huo Rong seemed to have already been prepared for a long time, as she immediately said, "Simple, cook the Egg-Fried Rice that you made last time for me again!"
"…" Why was it Egg Fried Rice again?
Under Huo Rong's anticipating gaze, Lin Wan Bai uneasily nodded his head.
Just as the two of them sat down on the living room's sofa, Huo Chang Yuan had also finished receiving the call. He was surrounded by the two of them, like two guardian gods, and felt an inexplicable sense of security.
Fruits and snacks were placed on the table after dinner. Ruan Zheng Mei was chatting about home with Huo Zhen and his wife, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
"Sister-in-law, last night Brother Lu even called me on the transoceanic phone saying that he couldn't get back in time, I'm very sorry!" Huo Zhen laughed and said, "Hehe, we are all family, why would I care about that! But then again, he's been in Berlin for more than a year, and it looks like Brother Lu is very fond of Germany. "
Ruan Zheng Mei also laughed, and when he answered, he inadvertently glanced in Lin Wan Bai's direction, "He has an important project over there, it will take him a while to finish, and furthermore, he is truly very interested in the Western Culture."
"It can't be that they plan to settle there, right?"
"That won't happen. After all, my home is still here!" Ruan Zheng Mei shook his head, and laughed while pointing, "Brother Huo, I think that if our family has any big matters, he will let go of his hands and return to the country, what do you say?"
Huo Zhen nodded with a smile, then stood up and looked towards her son and Lu Jing Xue and said, "Chang Yuan, Jing Xue girl, the two of you come with me to the study room."
Huo Chang Yuan frowned and did not move.
Huo Zhen's face immediately darkened.
Seeing that, Lin Wan Bai lightly pulled at the corner of his clothes, and said softly: Go, I will wait here for you.
"Yes." Huo Chang Yuan finally nodded and looked towards Huo Rong.
Huo Rong gave him a reassured look, "Go on!"
On the other side, Huo Zhen had already taken the lead to climb the stairs, while Lu Jing Xue was gently waiting at the foot of the stairs.
Only after watching their figures disappear upstairs did Lin Wan Bai retract her gaze. In her hand was a small orange, which she had opened up a bit as Huo Rong raised her eyebrows at her.
After Huo Chang Yuan left, someone suddenly sat down on an empty seat on the sofa beside him.
Xiao Yun Zheng placed her hands on her knees, and turned to ask Huo Rong with a smile, "Aunt, do you mind if I have a chat with her?"
Huo Rong raised her eyebrows.
Towards this other nephew, Huo Chang Yuan, who was not much older than she was, she actually did not get along much with him, so she was not too intimate with him, but he did not hate him either. He used his eyes to ask for Lin Wan Bai's permission, then got up and sat on the sofa beside him.
"Lin Wan Bai, you're not going to blame me right?" Seeing that she did not take the initiative to speak, Xiao Yun Zheng could not help but ask.
"…" Lin Wan Bai pursed his lips.
Xiao Yun Zheng said in a rare serious tone, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hide it, but I didn't get a chance to mention it. "
"Xiao …" Lin Wan Bai opened his mouth and realized that something wasn't right, "Do I have to call you Huo Yunzheng?"
Now that he thought about it carefully, no wonder Xiao Yun Zheng had left the army just like that, and later became Young Master Yun. Furthermore, when he was at the airport and when he met the last time at the hospital, Xiao Yun Zheng knew so much, it was because he was originally part of the Huo Family.
"Don't! Remember what I said when we met again in the pub? I have not heard anyone call me Xiao Yun Zheng for a long time, it would be best if you were to act like how you were in the past! " Xiao Yun Zheng immediately waved her hands, her expression and tone both serious. "Lin Wan Bai, I really treat you as my good friend, it is my mistake to keep this a secret from you, so I apologize to you. But I hope that there will be no changes between us, is that okay?"
"Mm …" Lin Wan Bai nodded.
"Then I am relieved!" Xiao Yun Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"Clang!"
A loud sound suddenly came from upstairs.
It was as if a heavy object had been slammed into a wall, and everyone downstairs could hear it loud and clear.
The people in the living room were all shocked, they subconsciously stood up and saw Huo Chang Yuan coming down the stairs with a gloomy face. His steps were extremely quick, and it was obvious that he was arguing with Huo Zhen.
Huo Chang Yuan immediately walked to her side and grabbed her hand.
"Wan Wen, let's go!"
Before the rest could react, Lin Wan Bai was pulled out of the villa.
Not long after the white Land Rover left, a limousine drove away from the house.
The driver in front was focusing on driving while the Lu Li and his mother sat in the back.
The smile on Ruan Zheng Mei's face disappeared the moment he got on the carriage, and he said unhappily, "In the past, when I saw this child Chang Yuan being calm and reserved, doing things with great consideration, it was too outrageous! You actually brought a woman back when you knew we were there. Aren't you deliberately embarrassing us? "
"Mom, don't say anymore." Lu Jing Xue said gloomily.
"It's a good thing that your Uncle Huo is on your side!" Seeing that his daughter was too dispirited, Ruan Zheng Mei hurriedly consoled her, his tone also sounding as if he was very experienced, "Jing Xue, don't be discouraged too! "Men are always like this; they'll always be uncertain. Right now, he might just be blinded for a moment and play around with himself. Once you guys get married and stabilize, that will be great!"
Lu Jing Xue snuggled up to Ruan Zheng Mei, "Mom, I must marry Chang Yuan!"
"Mn, Mom knows, you have always liked Chang Yuan!" Ruan Zheng Mei laughed and patted her shoulder, as though he thought of something, he squinted his eyes and asked: "Oh right, Jing Xue, have you investigated that Miss Lin fellow before?"
"Not much." Lu Jing Xue shook her head.
From Lin Yao Yao, she could roughly understand that Lin Wan Bai was the elder sister that she didn't like and had long been swept out of the country by the Lin Family.
Ruan Zheng Mei nodded, he did not say anything else and fell into deep thought.
