The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner. Mu Qian has never had any idea about the day. She just feels that it will be here in the blink of an eye.
In previous years, the Huo family's Mid-Autumn Festival would naturally involve a reunion at the Huo family's mansion, but this year, because the old man moved back to live in the old house, everyone accommodated the old man and prepared to come back together for a reunion dinner on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In this way, Mu Qian has become half a heroine, and she can't even avoid her on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's good for her to face the Huo family, but when she thinks of Cheng Manshu, she will inevitably feel conflicted.
Not only was she like this, Huo Qiran also showed a hint of anxiety when she learned that everyone in the Huo family was coming to the old house.
Of course Mu Qian knew why.
In the past, as a child whose biological mother was unknown, could not speak, and was raised by Huo Jinxi alone outside, he was simply the most inconspicuous existence in the Huo family. Everyone would probably ignore him habitually. Such an environment is very difficult for a child.
For children a few years old, it is actually very bad.
But, fortunately, everything is different now.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mu Qian personally picked out a small suit designed by Lu Yuan for Huo Qiran, and dressed Huo Qiran up decently and handsomely. At the end, she couldn't help but kiss him, and sincerely praised herself: "How could I be born with such a child?"
What a handsome son?"
Huo Qiran was a little nervous at first, but when she teased him, he immediately pursed his lips and laughed.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone in the Huo family came one after another. By the time the meal started, everyone except Huo Jinxi and Cheng Manshu had arrived.
Since moving back to the old house, it has rarely been so lively here. Mr. Huo was in a good mood, sitting among a group of children, chatting and laughing.
Mu Qian promised Huo Qiran to give him a revolving lantern, so she and Huo Qiran were drawing the patterns outside the revolving lantern on the restaurant table.
At Huo Qiran's request, the revolving lantern had to draw a family of three. Mu Qian originally wanted to draw a few flowers on the other sides, but Huo Qiran didn't want the flowers to separate the three people, so he could only draw the family of three twice.
, spread roundly outside the revolving lantern.
When the revolving lantern was completed, Huo Qiran immediately took it out with great interest and showed it to Mr. Huo like a treasure.
When Mr. Huo saw it, he smiled from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, the paintings on this are really good. They were all painted by our family Qi Ran, right?"
Huo Qiran pointed at Mu Qian and then at himself, meaning that the two of them had done it together.
When Huo Yunqing saw this, he suddenly said: "This child is so old and he still doesn't speak. Is this what he's going to do for the rest of his life?"
Mr. Huo's expression changed slightly and he glanced at Huo Yunqing.
Huo Qiran's bright eyes dimmed a bit in an instant. Mu Qian stepped forward and hugged Huo Qiran in her arms. Then she looked at Huo Yunqing and said with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble, little aunt. Although our Qi Ran doesn't talk much,
But you have a strong learning ability, not to mention not falling behind at all, but also being much ahead of the curve. The reason why we don't talk is because we are low-key and are afraid of overperforming too many other children. However, after those children gradually adapt to your excellence, you still have to do it.
You speak slowly, right?"
As Mu Qian spoke, she adjusted Huo Qiran's clothes, then stretched out her hand to touch Huo Qiran's chest, which finally made Huo Qiran laugh again.
Huo Yunqing sneered, "You are really going to find reasons for him——"
"Yun Qing!" Mr. Huo suddenly shouted, "As an elder, do you have any sense of propriety when speaking in front of children?"
As the youngest daughter of the Huo family, Huo Yunqing has always been arrogant. Even if Mr. Huo is angry, she is not afraid. She just says: "What I said is the truth——"
Mu Qian smiled on the surface, but she didn't know how much she wanted to yell at her, but considering Mr. Huo and the fact that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, she could only restrain herself.
Otherwise, with her mouth, if she said anything unlucky, she would probably cause public outrage.
"We, Qi Ran, are still young, and we will have plenty of time in the future." Mu Qian could only speak in the most tactful way, "Auntie, just wait and see."
"Keep your mouth shut, our Qi Ran, you have a really good relationship with this child." Huo Yunqing added, "But, you are not afraid that one day, his biological mother will come back, and how will you deal with it then?"
Upon hearing this question, Mu Qian and Mr. Huo looked at each other and almost laughed.
Because everyone in the Huo family is usually busy with their own affairs and haven't been together for a long time, the mother-son relationship between her and Huo Qiran has not found a suitable opportunity to tell everyone.
Huo Jinxi originally planned to announce the news at today's family dinner, but unexpectedly Huo Yunqing mentioned it first.
Mu Qian was not in a hurry, she just looked at Huo Qiran and asked him: "Who do you choose between me and your biological mother?"
Of course Huo Qiran stretched out his hand to point at her.
Mu Qian couldn't help laughing, but Huo Xiaoxiao, who had been watching coldly for a long time, suddenly said, "Mu Qian, is it fun to tease your elders like this?"
Mu Qian couldn't help but turn to look at her, "Am I teasing my elders?"
"Huo Qiran is obviously your biological son." Huo Xiaoxiao said, "Do you still plan to hide this news from everyone in the Huo family?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Huo family who didn't know about it couldn't help but be startled.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you talking about?" Huo Bainian frowned and asked.
Huo Xiaoxiao raised her chin slightly and looked at Mu Qian, "You asked her what I was talking about?"
"Qian Qian, is it true?" Huo Bainian immediately looked at Mu Qian.
Before Mu Qian could answer, Huo Jinxi walked slowly in through the door behind him, glanced at everyone present with a solemn look, and said in a deep voice: "It's true."
If everyone was still immersed in shock before, this "It's true" immediately broke the silence.
For a moment, the living room felt like a pot was exploding, and people started making noises——
"Dad, is this true? How can Qi Ran be Mu Qian's child?"
"Jin Xi, you can't joke about this. If it is, it is, if it isn't, it isn't. Don't lie to all of us just for the sake of your children."
"Mu Qian, isn't the child you gave birth to dead? Why did Qi Ran suddenly become your child again?"
Amid everyone's confusion of questions, Huo Jinxi just glanced at his aunt. After understanding, the aunt immediately turned around and went upstairs. After a while, she came down with a document and handed it to Huo Jinxi.
"The paternity test report is here." Huo Jinxi said, "We are a family of three."
After saying that, Huo Jinxi handed the paternity test report to Huo Bainian.
Huo Bainian took it and immediately turned to the final result.
Everyone immediately gathered around Huo Bainian, except for Huo Xiaoxiao, who had already known about it.
After seeing the result, everyone looked up in surprise, their eyes falling on Mu Qian and Huo Qiran, still full of disbelief.
"Although our Huo family has never been particular about family status, I still want to make a solemn statement -" Huo Jinxi reached out to call for Huo Qiran, hugged him up, looked at Mu Qian and then looked at the crowd, slowly
He said, "Mu Qian is my wife, and Qi Ran is my and her child. They are the legitimate eldest son and grandson of our Huo family. They must not be looked down upon by anyone."
