Chapter 114 The Xie family makes their appearance; the evil fat fox meets its nemesis.
There was no malice in her sister-in-law's words, so Xie Junfei just laughed and teased her:
"After all, I'm also a woman who can share meals with Huo Shen. You see, Huo Shen is probably the same as me."
"Humans are attracted to their own kind; this is an immutable law of nature."
After saying that, the two of them laughed together.
A smile appeared in the eyes of the man standing under the veranda.
Yes, she underestimated Xie Junfei, thinking she was a naive little lamb who knew nothing.
But in reality, what kind of innocent angel could gain the favor of the alpha wolf and spend so much time with him? At most, he's a cunning fox in sheep's clothing.
Moreover, judging from Xie Junfei's words just now, she is absolutely certain that she has succeeded in handling the matter caused by "Tia".
Since that's the case, she shouldn't presume to get involved.
Thinking of this, Huo Shen pushed open the door and went into the room, bringing a chill with him.
When Xie Junfei saw him coming, she quickly got up and prepared to help Huo Shen take off his coat.
Huo Shen avoided her outstretched hand:
"You just came back from outside and you're still chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold."
After saying that, he took matters into his own hands and hung up his coat.
After hanging up, he sat down next to Xie Junfei, picked up the hot tea on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.
The sister-in-law watched the young couple's interaction with a smile on her face the whole time.
Before returning to China, her husband confidently declared that his brother from the first wife was a cold-blooded devil, and that even if a woman was with him, it was destined to be short-lived.
After all, his brother was used to being arrogant and looked down on all the rich girls he had arranged marriages with, and he was still single and almost 30 years old.
But looking back today, it seems my husband was wrong.
His brother wasn't arrogant; he just hadn't met the right person.
He had nothing in common with the young lady from the arranged marriage, so he naturally couldn't be bothered to be polite.
But when a wicked fat fox like Xie Junfei enters the scene, like attracts like, and the two people who are attracted to each other can naturally stay together for a long time.
Just then, the maid came to deliver lunch, so the three of them went out together.
Snowflakes began to fall from the sky. As soon as Xie Junfei stepped out of the courtyard, she saw the eldest son of the second wife waiting at the door with an umbrella. The eldest sister-in-law was used to this and quickly went to her husband's side.
Watching the couple from the second wife walk away first, their figures receding into the distance, Xie Junfei couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected, the head of the Huo family is a romantic; that's absolutely right."
The man standing next to her, acting as her umbrella-holding assistant, nodded in approval.
"The elders of the first and second wives also said that those who mistreat their wives will not accumulate any wealth."
"Besides, it's not a business marriage. He chose his own wife, so naturally he'll be with her for life."
The two chatted as they walked, and the snow-covered courtyard was exceptionally beautiful. Seeing that Xie Junfei liked it, Huo Shen didn't urge her and patiently stayed by her side, waiting for her to enjoy the scenery.
They walked and stopped along the way, taking a full fifteen minutes to cover a short distance. Finally, Xie Junfei felt cold and quickened his pace.
As soon as she reached the door, she heard a lively commotion, which even included her older brother's voice!
Xie Junfei immediately opened her eyes wide with surprise, ignoring Huo Shen beside her, and ran into the house. Sure enough, she saw the Xie family who had just arrived at the old house!
After being separated for more than half a month, she no longer cared about her guilt for sneaking out of the house. After calling out her older brother's name, she immediately pounced on him and hung on his body.
The older brother caught his fat fox who had fallen from the sky, weighed her in his arms, and only felt relieved to find that she had gotten fatter. Then he slapped her on the bottom:
"You brat, you still remember you have a brother?"
"She ran away from home without a word for so long, and now she knows to come back!"
The words were spoken in a reproachful tone, but the joy at seeing her younger sister was in her voice. Xie Junfei chuckled twice, then began to change the subject:
"My brother misses me too? Hehe, I miss my brother too."
"We've come all this way and everyone's hungry. Let's eat first."
After saying that, she climbed down from her older brother's back like a little monkey. Huo Shen was about to reach out to catch her, but her older brother calmly blocked him with his arm.
Eldest brother: My own sister, I'll do it myself.
Huo Shen:
After all, he was the young girl's elder, and besides, he was the "pig" who had taken her "cabbage," so the man could only step back and politely let his elder brother sit down first.
All six of Xie's older brothers were present this year, and even the fifth brother, who was away filming, stopped working.
Originally, director Qiao Lao thought that stopping production for a week was too expensive, but who knew that Duan Bingqian, a real coal boss, would wave his hand and add 20 million yuan to the investment. The flexible and adaptable Qiao Lao immediately packed his bags and prepared to go home to find his wife.
Six young men, along with one shameless freeloader, sat down together, instantly filling the previously empty room.
Sitting to Xie Junfei's left, Huo's mother looked at her newly adopted godsons and felt that they were all promising young men, making her feel even more that she had found the right daughter-in-law.
Seeing the kind look on Huo's mother's face as she looked at her brothers, Xie Junfei couldn't help but ask his eldest brother, who was sitting next to him, with some curiosity:
"What kind of magic potion did you give Huo's mother to make her so happy?"
Upon hearing this, the eldest brother coughed lightly twice:
“My mom likes to play mahjong. Every day when we have nothing to do, we take turns playing mahjong with her, and none of us are very good at it.”
"If you could win more than twenty hands a day, you'd be just as happy."
Hearing his elder brother say this, Xie Junfei wholeheartedly agreed.
Everyone enjoyed the meal, except for Huo Shen, who didn't sit next to his wife and had a long face.
But no one cared.
After dinner, the eldest son of the second branch of the family couldn't wait to invite his elder brother, Duan Bingqian, and Huo Shen to the main house for tea. The four broad-shouldered, long-legged, young, handsome, and domineering CEOs sitting together looked like a scene from a TV drama.
Xie Junfei and his sister-in-law were too lazy to watch the men sitting together chatting, so they left first.
Having not seen her for half a month, the brothers also missed their sister, so Xie Junfei followed them to the courtyard where guests were being received.
Huo Shen was terrified of his brothers-in-law, each of whom was incredibly powerful on their own. His hospitality and treatment of them were top-notch.
As soon as he entered the house, Xie Junfei plopped down on the sofa and picked up the tea on the table to drink.
Seeing that his younger sister was acting like a little emperor, the second brother placed all the snacks in front of her and told her to eat more.
Xie Junfei was flattered and, although she was full, she still stuffed one into her mouth.
Looking at his younger sister eating the adult-shaped doll, and recalling the "family discipline" he received last night from his older brother, who had specially brought a "palm-shaped slap" from the Xie family, he felt a rare pang of pity.
Poor kid, eat as much as you can before your bottom gets a sore.
Otherwise, you won't even have the energy to cry later.
