Just asking the old lady to come downstairs for dinner took the old lady almost half an hour.
As soon as the old lady came downstairs, the sound of an engine could be heard outside, and soon the servant led a girl in her 20s in.
"Uncle and aunt, you don't mind if I come over to have a meal," the girl said as she walked in. She was very familiar with the act of changing shoes.
No one spoke to her, but she didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Axiao is back too." After saying this, he greeted Jin Yu, "Brother Jin."
Huo Xiao snorted and Jin Yu nodded slightly.
"Grandma said that my sister is back. Is this my sister? She looks exactly like my aunt when she was young."
As he said this, he tried to grab Han Xingjin's hand, but Han Xingjin dodged it.
"Who are you?" Han Xingjin asked.
The visitor looked like he suddenly realized something, "Hey, just look at me to make yourself happy. I'm Huo Jie."
Han Xingjin turned to look at Huo Xiao, "This one?"
Huo Jie was furious when she saw Han Xingjin like this. I've told you my name, but you still don't know who I am? Why don't you go back to the Huo family and ask about the Huo family?
"Oh, the daughter of an uncle over there in the second room."
Han Xingjin nodded, understanding that the "second wife" was given to his grandpa by his grandmother in order to consolidate his status, and the second wife was considered a vassal of the eldest family.
At that time, the "Second Wife" was quite successful and gave birth to a son before the "Third Wife" who was blocked from entering the house, thereby consolidating her status.
Those who can take the back seat in a palace fight are ruthless people, but it is even more difficult for a personal palace maid to survive a palace fight.
When the struggle between the three houses was fierce and the outcome was 50-50, the second mother-in-law sent her son and two daughters to study abroad to stay away from the struggle. However, because she was from a slightly inferior background, she did not object to dirty work and served the old man closely.
of feces and urine.
It seemed that he was unable to fight, but in fact he used the simplest method to save the children during the fight. At the same time, he paid attention to the situation and sat firmly on the wall to fall down at the right time.
For such people, Han Xingqian will not hate them. After all, they will not survive until the end at the expense of hurting others.
But Han Xingjin will never get close to you, because you don't know whether they will choose to stand aside or add insult to injury when you lose power.
After Huo Xiao finished speaking, Han Xingjin stopped talking to Huo Jie. Instead, he told Huo Xiao about Jingcheng's snacks and brought him some semi-finished products. He wondered if the kitchen could produce that taste.
Huo Xiao was also excitedly planning to take Han Xingjin where to eat and play. He was quite disappointed when he learned that Han Xingjin was only in the port city for two days.
Huo Jie looked at the two siblings who were no one around and was angry. She thought Han Xingjin would say hello to her after knowing who she was, but she didn't expect that they were completely ignored.
It happened that Mrs. Huo came downstairs, and Huo Jie stood up immediately.
"Grandma, I'm here." She grabbed Old Mrs. Huo as she spoke.
Han Xingjin raised his eyebrows, did the old lady call him? Did the old lady find someone to give him a showdown?
Hehe, it’s a small scene. Even if you don’t have a legitimate reputation, you can get away with it in the Han family. The Huo family can still be considered your home court.
Han Xingjin pulled Huo Xiao to stand up, "Grandma, have you rested?"
The old lady let Huo Jie hold her arm and snorted softly, "Yeah."
Everyone looked at the old lady, who said in a nonchalant manner: "Here we go, let's eat."
Huo Xiao was about to speak, but Han Xingjin stopped him, "Yes, I was busy with other things some time ago, and now I come back to see grandma. It's my fault."
round 1, Han Xing is victorious.
The old lady snorted, "Let's eat."
Huo Xiao pulled Han Xingjin and said, "Sister, let's go out to play tonight."
After saying that, he turned to Jin Yu and said, "Brother, take your driver's license with you."
After receiving Jin Yu's reply, Huo Xiao cheered. Just as he was about to speak to Han Meiyi, he was interrupted by Huo Jie.
"Axiao, I drove here."
Huo Xiao directly ignored Huo Jie and said to Han Meiyi:
"Mommy, I'm going to take my sister to play tonight."
Han Meiyi smiled and poured cold water on Huo Xiao, "Mommy wants to take sister out. You can go out to play with sister tomorrow."
Huo Jie added: "Axiao, let's go out and play, brother Jin together?"
Jin Yu shook his head, "No, thank you."
Huo Xiao ignored Huo Jie again and asked Han Meiyi, "Mommy, aren't you taking us?"
"Mommy is taking my sister to the company and to the mall. It's boring. Do you want to go?"
Huo Xiao looked at Jin Yu.
Jin Yu shrugged, "I can do either."
Huo Xiao cheered again, "We are going."
Huo Jie was once again angered. She was ignored by Huo Xiao continuously. Even Jin Yu could reject her. She was Huo Jie, a socialite from Hong Kong!
The dining table has been set. Mrs. Huo and Huo Jindong sat at both ends, and Huo Jie was the first to sit on the left side of the old lady.
Han Meiyi and Han Xingjin sat first to the left and right of Huo Jindong, followed by Jin Yu and Huo Xiao sitting opposite each other.
After sitting like this, the room opposite Huo Jie became vacant, and the table seemed to be divided into two waves.
The old lady looked unhappy, but Huo Jie looked very calm.
They ate without talking or slept in silence. Although the Huo family ate Chinese food, they had already divided the meals for everyone. There was only the crisp sound of tableware clinking on the dining table.
Occasionally, there were the sounds of Han Meiyi and Huo Jindong greeting Han Xingjin to eat.
Other than that, there was only the sound of Huo Jie and the old lady chatting.
Huo Jie talked about her college life and her club activities last week.
The old lady only responded from time to time.
"Sister, I heard that you just finished the college entrance examination? It seems that your school can also apply for college entrance examination results, but the requirements may be a bit high." Huo Jie suddenly said to Han Xingjin.
Han Xingjin swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth slowly and politely, and then said: "Thank you, cousin, I prefer Guo Chuan."
Huo Jie sneered, and the contempt was obvious.
"Besides, if I come here, I should be able to become school friends with my father."
Huo Jindong smiled happily, "Then do you want to be school friends with dad?"
Han Xingjin smiled sweetly, "I'm waiting for the good news tomorrow."
Huo Jie was frustrated again. Huo Jindong's alma mater was Hong Kong City University, and her school was just a private art university in Hong Kong City. She only needed to pass two college entrance examinations to apply.
After dinner, Huo Jie accompanied the old lady and acted like a good granddaughter, while Han Meiyi asked Han Xingjin to pack up and prepare to go out.
Huo Jie has been paying attention to the movements over there.
When Han Meiyi and his party went out, Huo Jie said goodbye to Mrs. Huo and caught up with Han Meiyi.
"Auntie, it's hard to sit in your car, so I drove over."
Jin Yu flicked the car key, unlocked it, opened the rear door and let Han Meiyi get in, then motioned to Huo Xiao, "Get in the car."
The four people got into the car separately, and no one paid any attention to Huo Jie.
Watching the phantom disappear, Huo Jie stamped her feet and returned to the house. Huo Jindong and the old lady were no longer in the living room.
"Where's grandma?" Huo Jie asked the servant.
"The old lady and the gentleman have gone to the study." The servant replied.
Huo Jie stamped her foot. She didn't dare to disturb him in the study. If it weren't for the old lady's deliberate indulgence, she wouldn't have dared to do something like this today even if she had ten guts.
Huo Jie returned to her car and remembered that Jin Yu, who had not spoken much all night, was still so handsome.
Although he is not from a wealthy family, with his relationship with his uncle's family, he will definitely get ahead, Huo Jie thought.
Han Meiyi took Han Xingjin directly to her own company, the headquarters of Rosewood Magazine.
"I'll take you to see the magazine and try on the mirror." Han Meiyi said.
Han Xingjin looked confused, "Huh?"
"The cover of the August issue, come, let's audition to see what style suits you."
Han Xingjin grabbed Han Meiyi and said, "Mom, I don't want to debut as an artist, so there's no need to... give me the cover."
Han Meiyi glared at Han Xingjin, "I still have the final say in the magazine, and my daughter is so beautiful."
Han Xingjin wanted to refuse, so Jin Yu patted the back of Han Xingjin's chair and said, "The August issue will be published on the 10th, and the audition is over."
The implication is that it will not affect the results of the draft, and it also implies that Han Xingjin should not reject Han Meiyi.
Han Xingjin thought about it. The main thing was not to reject Han Meiyi. They had just gotten closer. If he refused, Han Meiyi would return to the cautious way of getting along.
"Well, just listen to mom."
Han Meiyi called over the stylist and photographer who were still working overtime. Han Xingjin first took a few photos without makeup, and then was pulled by the stylist to do several simple looks.
Han Meiyi watched from the side and told Xiao Ding, who didn't know when he would appear, "Let the editorial department come up with a theme for the August issue based on Xiao Jin."
This operation can be regarded as a reverse operation. Usually, the theme is determined and then the appropriate cover character is selected.
I have to say that international fashion magazines are professional.
They can guide Han Xingjin, a pure newcomer like Han Xingjin, in a short period of time, allowing Han Xingjin to slowly let go and find a style that suits Han Xingjin.
In less than two hours, it will be over here.
Han Meiyi didn't stay for more than a minute. Han Xingjin was taken away after changing clothes and coming out of the studio.
The shopping mall hall is now almost cleared. "Mom, there is really no need to buy. Not only is Lanting full, but the cloakroom of Jingcheng Hotel is also full."
Han Meiyi sideways glanced at Han Xing, "We're already here, how can there be a girl like you who doesn't like buying clothes? Be good and just go shopping with mom. Dad knew we were coming and cleared the place.
"
To be honest, Han Xingjin has never seen this battle before.
The shopping mall is cleared on weekend nights. This scene is a bit big. Even if they come at night, the shopping mall only needs to close two hours in advance... That's a bit high-profile.
The wealthy families promised to keep a low profile, and Han Xingjin suspected that the gossip tabloids didn't tell the truth.
"Quick, quick, let's go. The day before yesterday, my mother asked each store to adjust the limited edition and high-end products." Even Han Meiyi couldn't hold back her excitement when she talked about shopping.
Han Xingjin had black lines on his head, but he didn't expect that Han Meiyi had to do so much preparation work just to go shopping.
"Azhi, you are here, come on, come on, let me introduce you to my little baby Xiao Jin."
Han Meiyi saw a few people sitting in the rest area next to them, and pulled Han Xing over cautiously.
"Come on, Xiao Jin, let me introduce to you, these are mom's good friends, Aunt Zhizhi, Aunt Azhu..."
Han Meiyi introduced her to five or six people together. Although Han Xingjin obediently called people, to be honest, she didn't get the names right.
The fighting power of women should not be underestimated, especially when it comes to shopping. At first, a group of people went shopping together, but after three stores, everyone had dispersed.
Jin Yu and Huo Xiao took over the rest area where the aunts were sitting just now.
Han Meiyi pulled Han Xingjin along the way to sweep.
"Xiao Jin, my mother has this classic bag in a medium size. I'll buy you a small size. We can carry the same style when we go out together."
"Xiao Jin, these shoes are perfect for you. Heel them a little bit. Didn't you say that the teacher asked you to dress appropriately?"
"Xiao Jin, this outfit is so beautiful. Mom can't wear it at this age. Please put it on and let her see it."
"Xiao Jin, this dress is really good. Try it quickly. I will wear this for the family dinner tomorrow."
Han Xingjin was like an emotional trying-on machine. Han Meiyi held it for her, she tried it on, and then Han Meiyi decided whether it suited her or not.
The shopping guide was very happy when he saw these ladies. No wonder they had to clear the place. The amount of luxury spending these ladies spent in one night was enough for the mall's usual week's turnover.
The emotional try-on machine will only succeed once or twice out of ten times, like this,
"Lanting has this model, it's a hit."
"I don't really like this style."
"My skin seems to be itchy after wearing this fabric for a long time."
The sweep lasted until almost eleven o'clock, when Han Meiyi finally stopped her evil hand.
"Okay, let's do these first. When you come here in August, the autumn styles will be on the market."
Han Xingjin looked at the list issued by the shopping guide. She was dazzled just by looking at the list, not to mention the pile of shopping bags that were still being packed.
Han Meiyi picked up the mother and daughter's pajamas of the same style and told the mall manager, "The other items will be delivered to my home ten days ago tomorrow."
The manager said respectfully: "Okay, ma'am."
Several other ladies came to join one after another. Judging from their expressions, they were all very happy with their purchases, and they all had a lot of orders in their hands.
"Oh, Meiyi, please tell me about this kind of thing earlier in the future. Two hours is not enough time to go shopping. I didn't even have time to try on several limited edition clothes."
"A-Lian, what are you trying? If you like it, buy it first. Try it out slowly when you get home. If it doesn't suit you, just give it away."
"Zhizhi, you are so generous. Unlike you, my parents-in-law are in charge of me."
Han Xingjin listened to the chats of the aunts. These ladies must have become jealous.
After struggling for a day, Han Xingjin couldn't hold it any longer and yawned slightly.
Han Meiyi's beauty sleep time has long passed. If she didn't have to take Han Xingjin shopping, she wouldn't want to get into such a situation.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's all disperse, Xiaojin, and say goodbye to the aunts."
Han Xingjin was still well-behaved. At this time, several aunties handed over their shopping bags one after another. There were bags, jewelry, and a full set of lipstick.
"Come on, be a good boy. I'll give you this as a meeting gift from aunt. Next time, come and play with your mommy at home."
"Ayi, I'll call you later. Xiaojin is so good."
Several people said it was a meeting gift for her. Han Meiyi asked Han Xingjin to accept it, and Han Xingjin took it one by one and said thank you obediently.
After seeing off a few aunts, Huo Xiao ran over to help Han Xingjin carry the bags, and winked at Han Xingjin, "Aren't the aunts scary?"
Han Xing smiled softly, "It's okay, the aunts are all very cute."
"You and Brother Jin Yu have been sitting over there waiting?" Han Xingjin asked again.
"No, we also went shopping for a while, and Brother Yu bought a few shirts and three watches." After saying that, he came closer to Han Xingjin, as if he wanted to whisper.
"Two of them are couple watches. Brother Yu thought I didn't see them."
Han Xingjin was stunned for a moment, are they a couple? Do they already have someone they like, or are they already in a relationship?
Huo Xiao's secret is not a secret at all. He just finished talking to Han Xingjin and went to Han Meiyi's side again.
"Brother Yu seems to have a girlfriend. I didn't see him buying a couple watch."
On the way back, Han Meiyi finally couldn't hold it back and asked Jin Yu, "Isn't it boring to go shopping with Auntie? Did Ayu buy anything?"
Jin Yu still looked deserted, "Fortunately, I bought some."
"What did you buy? The bag looks like I bought a watch."
"Um."
"Have a girlfriend? Buy a couple watch."
Jin Yu didn't pay attention, the steering wheel floated a little, and the speed of the car was so fast that everyone in the car felt it.
"Wow, I really have a girlfriend." Han Meiyi said what Han Xingjin wanted to ask.
