However, after hesitating for a second, he grabbed ahold of this little lady, causing her petite body to be held tightly onto his body. Following that, a low but powerful voice sounded in the hall, "I choose her!"
Gu Yi forgot to struggle. A pair of watery eyes stared straight at the man in front of her. The man also looked at her, his lips curling into a charming smile.
The originally bustling hall suddenly became silent after hearing his words, which were neither light nor heavy. Everyone's eyes were fixated on this pair of handsome men and women.
Old Madem Huo and Huo Xuaner who were at the side looked at each other and smiled, but did not say a word.
Gu Yi's clothes clearly showed her identity, and the second in command of Huo Family immediately placed down the teacup in his hand, then stood up, without the usual peaceful face.
After all, from his point of view, this Wife Selection Banquet was to choose a suitable wife for Huo Family, and a future mistress for Huo Family! How could they tolerate Huo Yunzheng choosing a waiter to mess around!
"This is nonsense!" The Second Leader was enraged, but when he said those words, he realized that he did not care about protecting his Huo Family 'face. No matter how angry he was, he shouldn't have let his clan be disgraced!
Everyone present was already shocked by Huo Yunzheng's actions, and now they were even more shocked by the old man's berating. Especially those famous ladies, they really didn't know what Huo Family was.
However, they naturally hoped that Huo Yunzheng wouldn't be able to be a couple with this shabby waiter. This way, they would have the chance to come into contact with Huo Yunzheng again.
This was the truth. Although that woman was somewhat pretty, her status was obviously low. How could she be compared to him?
In this kind of awkward situation, Gu Yi's heart thumped. She didn't know what to do, but Huo Yunzheng coincidentally hugged her even more tightly, giving his an inexplicable sense of security.
She had seen the rebuttal old man in the photo before, and he was the second in command of Huo Family, the second grandfather of Huo Yunzheng. The old man who did not make a sound beside him, but was equally furious was Huo Yunzheng's third grandfather.
These two old men were both people with high status in Huo Family. Looking at them, it seemed that they were not very satisfied with him, and now, he could be considered to have suffered. It was because both of them disliked him so much that it was written all over their faces. How could a rich family like theirs accept someone like him?
Gu Yi immediately felt helpless, and subconsciously went to find the figure of the Old Madem Huo, just in time to meet his gaze. The Old Madem looked calm and composed, as if everything was within her expectations.
Huo Yunzheng was not scared by these words. Instead, he laughed lightly, dragged Gu Yi and walked to the front of the elder and said lightly, "Second Master, you might not know this, but back then Grandmother told me that when I picked my wife, she wanted to pick one at the scene, but she didn't say who I had to pick. Now that I'm obedient, I picked one that I think of.
This Second Leader only knew that the Huo Family was about to choose a granddaughter-in-law, but he didn't know that Old Madem Huo and his grandson had such an agreement. He turned his head and asked Old Madem suspiciously, "Sister-in-law, is what Little Zheng said true?"
The Old Madem Huo looked troubled. "That's right, but …"
"Grandma, your grandson didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Those famous ladies were personally chosen by your grandma. The conditions are naturally very good, but your grandson has his eyes on this little waiter. What can I do about it?" "The original condition was set by you. I will do as you say, but you can't go back on your promise now." Without waiting for Old Madem Huo to speak, Huo Yunzheng answered first, because he knew what she wanted to say.
"Now, as you wish, I have chosen a granddaughter-in-law for you. The remaining grandsons will not participate in this. Goodbye, grandma. I hope that you can fulfill your promise." Keeping Mu Tong safe and sound …
After that, without caring about the elders present, he pulled Gu Yi along and left.
"Huo Yunzheng! Stop right there! " This time, the one who spoke was still the Second Master. After all, in this family, other than the Old Madem Huo, the one with the most authority was him.
He did not hide his anger at all and did not care that there were still so many outsiders.
Old Madem Huo called the butler over and asked him to arrange for the ladies to leave quietly. Even though he had expected this, she did not know what would happen next. Losing face for her Huo Family would not do.
The Second Master and Third Master had already caught up, causing Huo Xuaner, who was standing at the same place, to be unable to hold back and gasp. She helplessly looked at the Old Madem Huo, thinking that even if the Xiao Yi entered the Huo Family, her days would probably not be good!
On the other hand, Old Madem Huo acted like nothing had happened and was even drinking tea. This kind of calmness really made Huo Xuaner roll his eyes in his heart.
Huo Yunzheng had already pulled Gu Yi out of the room by now, but after hearing the Second Leader's call, he stopped. After all, he still had to respect the elders from the Huo Family at all times.
But, respect aside from respect, they couldn't change their decision today no matter what.
"Master Er, Master San, do you two have anything else?" Grandson feels like I've made everything clear just now. " Huo Yunzheng smiled decently at the two of them, and although the two leaders were angry, when they saw Huo Yunzheng's attitude, they did not have the heart to spout such harsh words.
However, there were some things that needed to be said! However, he didn't have much strength to say it out loud.
"Yun Zheng, what you're doing doesn't make any sense. We don't care what agreement you made with sister-in-law, but you forcefully pulled her away without saying anything. You didn't even ask if she was willing to marry you! I'm still so young, what if I don't want to? "
"Oh, you two don't need to worry about that. As long as I want to marry her, will she marry me?" When Huo Yunzheng said till here, he increased the force of his grip on Gu Yi and looked at her naughtily.
