The next day, Huo Xunzhou brought his men to the hotel to pick Lin Shanchu up for dinner at the Yun family’s house and bumped into Huo Chaosheng, who came over to deliver the car keys.
“Third Brother, why are you here?” Huo Chaosheng was delighted to see Huo
Xunzhou.
“My grandfather invited Lin Shanchu to his house for dinner,” Huo Xunzhou said calmly.
“I want to go too,” Huo Chaosheng said excitedly.
“My grandfather probably doesn’t want to see you.” Huo Xunzhou’s words instantly extinguished Huo Chaosheng’s enthusiasm.
“Third Brother…
“Do you want to be beaten out by my grandfather with a walking stick?”
Huo Chaosheng fell silent.
That old man from the Yun family disliked him, whereas he did not have a good impression of that old man either.
However, that old man was Huo Xunzhou’s grandfather.
If he laid a hand on the old man, Huo Xunzhou would be unhappy.
Lin Shanchu, who was standing at the side, did not interrupt them. Instead, she listened to their conversation.
Patriarch Yun disliked Huo Chaosheng because of Yun Wu.
However. Lin Shanchu still did not know what Hilo C.haosheng had done to
Yunwu.
Huo Chaosheng turned his head and dejectedly looked at Lin Shanchu.
“You…’
“I can’t hang out with you today. I have to go to the Yun family’s house for dinner. I’ll contact you another day.”
Lin Shanchu quickly interrupted Huo Chaosheng.
Huo Chaosheng reacted quickly and did not mention the car keys. He put his hands in the pockets and replied lazily, “Oh.”
“Big Brother.”
Li MO walked over. Then, Huo Xunzhou turned to look at him.
Taking advantage of the conversation between Huo Xunzhou and Li MO, Lin Shanchu gave Huo Chaosheng a look.
Huo Chaosheng tacitly took out the car keys from his pocket and handed them to Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu took the keys and stuffed them into her bag.
Huo Xunzhou turned his head to look at her, as if he had sensed something.
Lin Shanchu was drinking a glass of water while Huo Chaosheng was peeling an orange with his head down. Everything looked normal and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Huo Xunzhou frowned slightly and turned to look at Li Mo. “Get ready to go.”
On the surface, Lin Shanchu was drinking water, but in reality, she had been paying attention to Huo Xunzhou’s movements. Seeing that Huo Xunzhou did not notice that Huo Chaosheng had secretly given her the car keys, she was relieved.
She stood up and said with a smile, “Let’s go.”
After Lin Shanchu dyed her hair back to black, there was a subtle change in her temperament. At first glance, she looked much more obedient than before.
She did not deliberately change her dressing style just because some elder treated her to dinner today, but her innocent-looking face had a natural advantage. As long as she restrained herself a little, she would be the kind of obedient and quiet lady that the elders liked the most.
However, the patriarch told her to drop the pretense last time. He must have known that she was neither gentle nor obedient by nature.
In this way, she did not have to restrain herself.
Huo Xunzhou’s gaze swept over and landed accurately on Lin Shanchu’s face.
“You guys go down first. I have something to say to Chaosheng.”
Soon, only Huo Xunzhou and Huo Chaosheng were left in the room.
Huo Chaosheng leaned over fawningly and asked, “Third Brother, what’s the matter?”
“How do you plan to deal with Lin Shanchu’s matter?” Huo Xunzhou asked in a low voice.
“Huh?” Huo Chaosheng thought for a moment and replied, “Oh, you’re talking about Huo Zhuxiu hiring someone to hit Lin Shanchu with a truck?”
Huo Xunzhou’s expression remained unchanged, but he tightened his grip on the armrest.
“Actually, Lin Shanchu and I are…”
“He doesn’t want you to date Lin Shanchu. I will use my own method to help you deal with this matter.”
Huo Chaosheng was a little frustrated. Why did everyone have to cut him off today?
He had no choice but to explain again that he and Lin Shanchu were not in that kind of relationship.
“We are not…”
To his surprise, Huo Xunzhou interrupted him again.
“This matter ends here.”
Huo Chaosheng felt helpless.
He and Lin Shanchu had never started a relationship, so what was the point of stopping of them?
However, Huo Xunzhou was really concerned about him to the point that he had to help him deal with such a minor matter.
After Yun Hongru retired from the company, he had been living in the Yun family’s old mansion.
The old mansion had been passed down from his ancestors. It was located in the bustling area of the city center where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold. It was quiet in the midst of the bustle and priceless.
After the car stopped, Lin Shanchu looked out the window and saw Yun Yi waiting at the entrance.
Seeing Lin Shanchu get out of the car, Yun Yi walked up to her.
“Shanshan.”
“Big Brother.”
Lin Shanchu nodded at him.
“Come in quickly. Grandpa got up early this morning and has been busy arranging people to clean up the courtyard and prepare the ingredients.”
Yun Yi led Lin Shanchu into the mansion. As they walked, he talked to her in a slow voice filled with warmth.
The courtyard of the old mansion was lush with vegetation. She could see that it had been recently trimmed.
Yun Yi noticed Lin Shanchu’s gaze and said with a smile, “Grandpa insisted that these flowers and plants did not look good, so he instructed the servants to trim them early in the morning.”
Such a serious attitude made Lin Shanchu feel overwhelmed.
How could this be an attitude of someone who simply invited her over for dinner?
Lin Shanchu felt like she was meeting someone’s parents.
The old house was large. Yun Yi walked Lin Shanchu for a while before they reached the main house.
Yun Hongru was leaning on his walking stick and looked around at the entrance.
When he saw Lin Shanchu, he stood still at the entrance and looked at her with a smile.
‘You are here!”
“Grandpa.”
Yun Yi turned to look at Lin Shanchu when he heard her calling him “Grandpa”.
“Where is Xunzhou?”
“He needs to deal with some matters and will probably come back soon.” Lin Shanchu was careful not to mention Huo Chaosheng’s name.
“Let’s ignore him for now. You guys come in first.” Yun Hongru turned around and walked inside. After taking two steps, he turned around to check if Lin Shanchu was following him.
Lin Shanchu followed Yun Hongru all the way. They did not meet many servants on the way, but the huge house did not seem deserted at all. Instead, it had a lively atmosphere like the New Year.
Lin Shanchu thought that it was probably because this family was more humane.
In the past, the Lu family had a lot of servants, but she always felt lonely.
Yun Hongru took Lin Shanchu to the tea room for tea and even took out his phone to start a video call with Yun Wu.
Yun Wu was probably at the backstage of a certain show. There were many people coming and going around, and the background was a little noisy.
“Yun Wu!” Yun Hongru called out to her with a smile.
“Grandpa, I’m a little busy here. Can I video call you when I have time?”
“You always say you’re busy.” Yun Hongru frowned upon hearing her words.
“I can’t help it, but I’m really busy,” Yun Wu said coquettishly. “I’m going to hang up, okay?”
Yun Hongru snorted and turned the phone toward Lin Shanchu. “Shanshan!” Yun Wu looked surprised as she asked, “You are at my house?”
“Yeah.” Lin Shanchu moved closer to the camera and looked inside carefully.
“Are you shooting a variety show?”
“That’s right!” Yun Wu forced a smile and said, “Third Brother is really nice to me for giving me so much work..”
