Su Xiaoxiao got out of the car and saw a beautiful woman in luxurious clothes standing on the steps of the hotel.
The woman was none other than Yue Ziqian's mother, his future mother-in-law, Huo Suning.
Su Xiaoxiao had only seen this future mother-in-law a few times, and she only felt that she had a kind of superior momentum.
Yue Ziqian took Su Xiaoxiao's arm and walked over with a smile. "Mom."
Su Tiansheng and Chen Fengling took Su Man and greeted her in a flattering tone, "The future mother of the family."
Huo Suning glanced at the Su family. Although there was a smile on her face, it was cold and distant. "Thank you for attending my father's birthday party."
"Don't say that. The old man is Ziqian's grandfather, and he will soon be my Xiaoxiao's grandfather. We should come here to celebrate the birthday. Our mother is standing at the door alone to receive guests? Why don't we accompany you?" Chen Fengling said flatteringly.
Huo Suning tilted her head and started to chat with a deputy mayor's wife.
Chen Fengling was left on the spot and felt extremely embarrassed. After being pulled by Su Tiansheng for a while, she went in first with her husband and daughter.
Su Xiaoxiao understood that Huo Suning looked down on the Su family. Of course, she looked down on her future daughter-in-law. It was only because she could not convince her father that she reluctantly agreed to give birth to the only child and her marriage.
However, every time Chen Fengling did not check herself and even tried to flatter her, she was ignored by Huo Su.
When it was almost time, Yue Ziqian saw that his mother was still standing at the door and did not intend to go in. He said, "Mom, almost all the guests are here. You can go in first."
Huo Su frowned. "I'll wait a little longer. Your Third Uncle said he wanted to come."
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at the two of them. "Third Uncle?"
She had never heard Yue Ziqian mention that he had a third uncle.
It was also possible that the Yue family had never really treated her as a family, and rarely mentioned the family members and things to her.
"Uncle, you always keep your word. Since you want to come, you will definitely come. I guess there is a traffic jam on the road. Let's go in first," Yue Ziqian said with a smile.
It was only then that Huo Suning entered the hotel with her son and Su Xiaoxiao.
...
The birthday party was arranged in the largest banquet hall in the hotel.
Huo Suning's husband, Yue Ziqian's father, Yue Shide, was accompanying the old man to entertain guests in the living room.
Su Xiaoxiao's impression of Yue Shide was the opposite of Huo Suning's. This future father-in-law was a little cowardly and he kept his word to his wife and Yue Zhang.
Yue Shide was her son-in-law, and most of the shares of the Yue Group were given to her by Huo Suning and Old Master Huo.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that Yue Shide did not have the confidence to stay at home.
Perhaps it was because of this reason that Yue Ziqian's marriage could only be arranged by his grandfather.
The Old Master was a person who valued friendship and righteousness. He didn't want his grandson to abandon the engagement and insisted on letting Yue Ziqian marry Su Yan.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the head of the family in the middle of the guests. She did not know whether she should thank the old man or complain.
The old man didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao was thinking. As soon as he saw his future granddaughter-in-law coming, he smiled. This was a newcomer who was about to be welcomed by the third generation of his family, so he naturally liked her very much. However, there were guests next to him, so he didn't have a chance to talk to Su Xiaoxiao for a while. However, when he saw Huo Suning coming in alone, he frowned and said, "Where's Lao San? He hasn't come yet?"
Huo Suning said, "Dad also knows that there are too many traffic jam at this time. I'll make a phone call to urge him later."
Seeing his wife's look, Yue Shide tried to persuade her as well. "That's right, Dad. Don't worry. Since Mr. Bei said he'd come, he'll definitely come."
Under the persuasion of his daughter and son-in-law, the old man's face finally looked better.
This "uncle" whom she had never met was really a big one. As Su Xiaoxiao thought about it, she sat down at the main table.
While waiting for the banquet to begin, Huo Suning started chatting with the other female guests at the next table.
"Ah, Mrs. Yue, that young lady is your son-in-law, Yue Ziqian's fiancee."
"Not bad-looking. What a coincidence. It's clean and clean. But it's a pity that your family is not very good. Are your parents gone? Don't blame me for talking too much. In my opinion, your Yue Ziqian can match up with a daughter from a better family."
"Hey, don't say that. Miss Su and Yue Ziqian have been engaged since they were young. The Yue family also keeps their promises. Is it because the Su family has declined and abandoned their daughter? Mrs. Yue is not such a person."
There was a dignified and elegant smile on Huo Suning's face, but she didn't say anything. Occasionally, she would glance at Su Xiaoxiao with a cold gaze, and there was a flash of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction with the fact that she was the only child of an orphan girl.
Not far away, Su Xiaoxiao pretended that she didn't hear a group of rich ladies chatting.
Since he had come to this place today, he had thought that he would meet such a situation that would be discussed by others.
What she was concerned about now was another thing.
She clenched her fists under the table, unable to control the cold sweat on her palms. From time to time, she would look towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
The man said that if she came, he would arrange everything and what would he do?
"Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you for a long time."
At this moment, the old man's voice broke the low pressure around Su Xiaoxiao.
Although the honored tutor was over 60 years old, his voice was as sonorous as a bell. He had just finished speaking with a few honored guests when he returned to the main table.
Su Xiaoxiao forced a smile. "Nice to meet you, Old Master."
She had met Yue Ziqian's grandfather once, and it was also the first time she had met his parents. Although she had only met him once and had not said anything, she could tell that the old man liked her a lot.
The last time they met, the girl called him "Grandfather" along with Yue Ziqian. This time, the way she addressed him suddenly became distant. The Old Master couldn't help but frown, but his tone was still very friendly. He joked, "Why do you call me Old Master? Are you shy when you are about to get married?"
Yue Ziqian saw that his grandfather was a little unhappy, so he secretly twisted his hand with dissatisfaction and tried to smooth things over. "Grandpa, don't mind it. There are too many people. I'm a little embarrassed. ... Xiaoxiao, it's too strange. Call me grandpa."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the old man's expectant eyes. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something, but she couldn't shout out.
She didn't want to marry Yue Ziqian at all. How could she call this old man grandfather with all her heart?
The more Yue Ziqian urged her, the more disgusted she felt.
If she really got married to him, would she act like this all the time in the future and pretend to be a loving couple in front of the old master?
She didn't want to live like this.
When Yue Ziqian saw that she was unwilling to cooperate, anger flashed across his face, but he said with a smile, "Grandpa, maybe Xiaoxiao is really shy."
The old man was a little surprised at Su Xiaoxiao's current state, but he didn't think too much about it.
"I heard that it's easy to have depression before marriage. Xiaoxiao, don't be nervous. Our family won't let you suffer, and your father won't feel uneasy in the netherworld. I'll ask someone to take good care of your wedding to give you a grand wedding. If Ziqian dares to treat you badly after marriage, grandpa will teach him a good lesson."
