After about ten minutes, he saw the wife of the Huo family, Tang Yingyue, walking leisurely towards the staircase with a bag in her hand.
Behind her followed a young girl in her mid-twenties. She was dressed beautifully, carrying a luxury bag in one hand and Tang Yingyue"s arm in the other.
Tang Yingyue went upstairs and saw Huo XIwen and her mother sitting in the booth, waiting for him. She raised her head and walked to the seat opposite them and sat down. "You"ve come."
"Eldest Sister-in-Law." Zhou Wanru looked at her sister-in-law and greeted her with a smile.
After Tang Yingyue sat down, she first glanced at Huo XIwen, who was sitting diagonally across from her. Seeing that Huo XIwen had ignored her, she slightly frowned in displeasure.
At this moment, Mrs. Huo quickly nudged Huo XIwen, who was standing beside her, and said, "XIwen, call for someone."
At this time, Huo XIwen intentionally looked at Tang Yingyue with an exaggerated expression, "Aiya, auntie is here." "Look at me, after waiting for so long, I almost fell asleep. I was distracted for a while, and didn"t see Aunt coming. Sorry, Aunt won"t take offense, right?"
"Are you blaming us for being late?" The woman beside Tang Yingyue raised her eyebrows and asked when she heard the hidden meaning in Huo XIwen"s words.
Huo Xiwen glanced at the woman, not even bothering to blink as she asked in a lazy tone, "Who is this?"
"This is my niece Xu Lan, Lan Lan. She is the daughter of your Bao-ge"s second uncle, Xi Wen, that I told you about." Tang Yingyue introduced.
"So you"re Huo XIwen." Xu Lan"s eyes looked Huo XIwen up and down. She couldn"t recognize the brand of the clothes she was wearing, but the style was especially beautiful. She knew that they were definitely custom-made by a designer, and couldn"t help but feel a little jealous.
Huo XIwen didn"t like the way Xu Lan was looking at him, so she couldn"t be bothered to pay attention to her. She only said to Tang Yingyue, "Aunt, we haven"t seen each other for quite a while. You seem to be getting younger and younger."
When Tang Yingyue heard these words, she was extremely happy. She purposefully shook the bright yellow dress she wore and said with a beaming smile, "Little girl, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
When Xu Lan heard her praise Huo XIwen, she immediately became annoyed. She immediately said, "Aunt, what she said was only the truth. She didn"t say it to please you."
"You little mouth, you always pick up things to tell me when you"re at home, but now you"re outside saying it like that. Be careful not to make other people laugh." Tang Yingyue said with a smile.
That pretentious att.i.tude of his made Huo XIwen"s heart go numb. He felt like vomiting every night.
"That"s right, Xi Wen, I heard from your mother that you were dating a few days ago and it was your brother Bao who recommended you. How"s the situation?" Tang Yingyue asked at this time.
"This …" Huo XIwen didn"t expect that even she knew about this, so he immediately revealed an awkward expression.
She didn"t want to explain her personal matters to her aunt, whom she rarely met in eight hundred years, so she only smiled and didn"t bother to reply.
Seeing her expression, Tang Yingyue understood that it was most likely because she couldn"t accomplish anything, so she sighed again and said coldly, "Xunwen, if it wasn"t for aunt"s concern for you, aunt"s concern would have been for you as well. Let me tell you, this woman is not worth much after her golden age. Don"t think that you"re the daughter of the Huo family. Those who are on par with us have good conditions, so naturally, we want to find young women as well. Wan Ru, is that what I meant? "
Zhou Wanru could only nod to the side.
Huo XIwen, however, disliked hearing such words. She raised her head, put down the teacup in her hand, and raised her eyebrows, "Aunt, you"re wrong about that. If a woman pa.s.sed her golden age and became worthless, that would still depend on what kind of woman she was. For example, for someone like you, aunt, who is over fifty years old, didn"t uncle abandon you to find those young girls? Therefore, whether a woman was worth money was not determined by her age. I"m a billionaire, and all I have is money, so why should I sell myself for money? "Do you think that"s the reason?"
Tang Yingyue originally wanted to use her status as an aunt to teach Huo Xiwen a lesson, but who would have thought that she actually taught him a lesson instead. She knew that she liked it when others said that she was young, but she still said that she was over half a century old and reminded her of her age.
Xu Lan saw that her aunt had been humiliated and immediately said, "Although your words are not bad, but it is not right to make such an a.n.a.logy. How many women in the world can be as charming as my aunt? If she didn"t, everyone would think she was in her twenties or thirties. "Aunt is worried about you. Worried that you will be past the golden age of marriage, when all the good men have been taken away by others, the rest are all sc.u.m men. That won"t be good."
When Huo XIwen heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of water.
Twenty or thirty years old, this woman really dares to say that!
She had seen people flatter before, but this was the first time she saw someone flatter so casually.
"That"s right, Xi Wen, your aunt is doing it for your own good." Zhou Wanru, who was afraid that Huo XIwen would not speak lightly or seriously, was also angered to the point that Tang Yingyue was standing at the side.
"Of course I know aunt is doing this for my own good. If it was anyone else who told me this, I would have already spat all over her body." However, Huo XIwen smiled.
She only said with a cold expression, "There are some things that even if you don"t like to hear, I still have to say them. Your father is not here anymore, even though you"re the Huo Family"s eldest daughter, you still can"t compare to those Wealthy Cla.s.s families that have parents and family. "Now that your Bao-ge is helping you watch over the company, you have nothing better to do right now, if you don"t hurry up and finish off this marriage and let your mommy be at ease, what will happen if you get older and older?"
When Huo Xi Wen heard her mention his father, he immediately felt upset. Wasn"t it because her father was no longer around that his uncle and his wife were so arrogant?
If it was before, when her father was still alive, her aunt would never have dared to speak to them like this, much less make them wait for her at the teahouse.
She knew that besides the fact that her father was no longer around, there was another reason why Tang Yingyue was bullying the mother and daughter — Huo Jianxue was helping her manage the company. Taking a deep breath, she slightly adjusted her mood, smiled and said, "Aunt"s words are a reminder to me, Jiabao Ge has been working hard to take care of my company for the past one year. Yesterday, I was thinking, in the end, this company was left to me by father, and it is not a serious matter to keep troubling Jiabao ge.
