Two days later, on Huo Jiu's birthday, Mrs. Huo, Tang Yingyue, hosted a small family banquet at home. Huo XIwen didn't want to look at his aunt's expression, but he couldn't bear Zhou Wanru's explanation so he reluctantly went to attend.
When she arrived at the Huo family's mansion, she realized that this small feast was actually a party for dozens of people.
There were many people at the scene that she knew or didn't know. Most of them were the Huo Family's elders.
With just a bit of power, she could not wait to make everyone submit to her. Therefore, in order to not offend her, everyone treated her as the boss mother of the Huo Family and gave her a lot of face.
As soon as Huo XIwen and Zhou Wanru entered, Tang Yingyue spotted them. With a face full of smiles, she walked over and grabbed onto Huo XIwen's hand. "XIwen, you've come."
Huo XIwen was somewhat unable to bear Tang Yingyue's sudden enthusiasm. She quietly withdrew her hand from Tang Yingyue's grasp, and with a perfunctory smile on her face, she said, "Greetings, Aunt."
"Good boy." Tang Yingyue nodded her head in satisfaction, before looking at Zhou Wanru, "Wanru, you're late. Those uncles are all here, take Xi Wen to greet them. You know that this old man cares about these formalities, otherwise, when the time comes I won't be able to explain myself."
Hearing this, Zhou Wanru nodded slightly and then led Huo XIwen to the side of the sofa.
At this moment, the sofa in the hall was filled with the Huo Family elders, all of whom were Huo XIwen's grandparents.
She was not very familiar with them, and under Zhou Wanru's guidance, she greeted the elders one by one. As she was about to retreat, she saw a person walking out from the crowd, and laughed out loud: "Aiya, isn't this Xi Wen? "Long time no see. You're really getting more and more beautiful."
Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Huo Xiwen looked at the middle-aged woman with an exaggerated expression, and slightly frowned.
Did she know this woman?
"Xi Wen, she's Aunt Tang." Zhou Wanru reminded her in a low voice.
Aunt Tang?
Where did this figure come from?
Why had she never heard of it before?
"She's your aunt's sister-in-law." Seeing her in a daze, Zhou Wanru could only remind her again.
At this time, Huo XIwen finally understood. She glanced at the woman in front of her, only to discover that Mrs. Tang was sizing him up with an extremely exposed and bone-deep gaze. Her gaze was as if she was looking at a commodity that was ready to be sold at a price.
