He Xueyun naturally came with Zhou Hao. After Zhou Hao drove away the guards sent by He Hongsen to find her that day, He Xueyun knew that sooner or later he would have to face He Hongsen to explain the matter between him and Zhou Hao clearly, and he had already done so.
She was mentally prepared, but she did not expect that Zhou Hao would deliberately choose He Hongsen's birthday to visit.
You know, He Hongsen brought back all his wives, concubines, and children for his birthday party this year. In addition, all the guests invited by the He family were dignitaries. On such an occasion, if Zhou Hao and He Hongsen had a head-on confrontation,
If so, then there would be no room for change in the conflict between him and the He family.
"Hao, how about we come back someday? Tonight is my father's birthday party. He..." When they arrived in the courtyard of the He family's mansion, He Xueyun was still in the car trying to persuade Zhou Hao.
But Zhou Hao pinched her round chin and said with a smile: "I just want to explain our affairs clearly while everyone in the He family is here. Why, are you afraid? This is different from the Xueyun I know.
Ah, the Xueyun I know is very strong."
He Xueyun rolled his eyes at Zhou Hao, but at this moment he regained his usual quiet and calm temperament, and at the same time said somewhat sadly: "You know, I am still a little afraid of my father, especially that he will be harmful to you.
"
"After all, you just don't have confidence in me. Are you so insecure around me?" Zhou Hao grabbed her hand and held it tightly: "Just don't worry, anyone has to deal with me."
It’s not that easy for me.”
"No matter what, I'll just listen to you." He Xueyun smiled, enjoying the feeling of being protected.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Hao walked to the villa with He Xueyun. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw that the people inside were carrying him and they looked very strange, especially those who were wearing white trousers.
He Xueyun, who was wearing an evening dress, held Zhou Hao's arm, and his eyes became even weirder. Some people were clearly looking at Zhou Hao and He Xueyun with schadenfreude.
The guests invited to attend Ho Hongsen's birthday banquet were all either rich or noble. In addition to senior government officials from Hong Kong and Macao, there were also a handful of extremely wealthy people in Hong Kong and even Asia. Many wealthy families sent their guests even if their parents did not come.
The children came to congratulate He Hongsen on his birthday.
Zhou Hao saw Li Yingjie, whom he had met at a TVB charity party before, who was the eldest son of Henderson Group Chairman Lee Shau Kee. Among the few members of wealthy families that Zhou Hao knew, he had a favorable impression of Li Yingjie.
After all, Li Yingjie is much better than a playboy like Xu Jinsheng.
Li Yingjie, who was in formal attire, was seen standing next to a tall young woman. The woman must also be the daughter of that wealthy royal family, because her temperament was obviously different from those of female celebrities.
Seeing Zhou Hao and He Xueyun coming hand in hand, Li Yingjie smiled at Zhou Hao from a distance, with admiration hidden in his eyes. Because everyone knew that He Xueyun was the daughter of He Hongsen, although she was not the fourth daughter of the He family.
out, its status is not as good as that
They have four children, but He Hongsen is notoriously strict in disciplining his children. He Xueyun and Xu Jinsheng had such an incident, and now they openly attend He Hongsen’s birthday party with a strange man. How will He Hongsen react?
It's easy to imagine.
After all, He Xueyun is He Hongsen's daughter, but Zhou Hao is not a member of the He family at all. Everyone can guess how He Hongsen will treat Zhou Hao. That's why Li Yingjie admires Zhou Hao for actually abducting He Hongsen's daughter.
He Hongsen was sitting in the inner hall with Lu Zhenwu at this time. Although he was still talking and laughing with Lu Zhenwu, he felt very unhappy since the servant came in and told him that He Xueyun was here.
He Hongsen's feelings for He Xueyun, his daughter, are still very complicated. It is not true to say that he does not love his children. The so-called tiger's poison does not eat its children. But as Zhou Hao thought, decades of aloof life have made him He Hongsen's character is really a bit like those arbitrary emperors in ancient times. He likes to have everything under control, including his own family. He doesn't like people and things that are not under his control.
When He Xueyun was asked to marry Xu Jinsheng, He Hongsen really wanted the He and He families to get closer together and join forces to enter the market, but he did not completely disregard He Xueyun's lifelong happiness. In fact, He Hongsen was too confident and believed in the husband he had chosen for He Xueyun. is the best.
Now that He Xueyun and Xu Jinsheng have ended up in this situation, He Hongsen has not reflected on his original decision, but believes that Xu Jinsheng has fallen into obscurity. And He Xueyun decided to divorce Xu Jinsheng, and He Hongsen also agreed in his heart, because Xu Jinsheng is now notorious, and He Xueyun If he divorces, no one outside will think it is the He family's fault.
He hated that He Xueyun did not follow his original decision and break up with the Xu family peacefully after the incident calmed down. Instead, he announced the news to the media without permission, making the He family the center of public opinion.
In particular, after Xu Jianming was injured and sent to the hospital that day, he immediately called He Hongsen to complain, saying that He Xueyun was not a woman and had cheated on her, and also colluded with her lover to murder her husband and the father-in-law.
In He Hongsen's view, it is romantic for men to celebrate outside, but it is evil for women to have sex outside. Therefore, he does not object to his married sons looking for women outside, as long as they Just don't do anything embarrassing because of women.
But it was different for his married daughter, so He Hongsen was extremely angry about He Xueyun's extramarital affair. Moreover, when the people he sent out failed and told him that He Xueyun's lover was not simple, He Hongsen's heart also became filled with gloom. It's more intense.
In the inner hall, in addition to distinguished guests such as Lu Zhenwu, Wei Qili and Xie Taiwang, as well as He Hongsen's confidants and friends, the three wives of the He family and the daughters-in-law of the fourth room were all present. Although these twenty or thirty people were here or there Standing or sitting, his attention is always focused on He Hongsen in the middle.
"Sir, Miss Xueyun is here." A servant said respectfully to He Hongsen.
I saw Zhou Hao and He Xueyun appearing at the door of the inner hall together. Zhou Hao was as tall and handsome as a pine tree, while He Xueyun was also stunningly beautiful. It felt like a match made in heaven for the two of them to appear together, and they became the most eye-catching person in the hall. focus.
However, everyone in the He family knew that Zhou Hao was He Xueyun's "lover". They didn't know about the failure of He Hongsen's escort team, nor did they know Zhou Hao's details. Now that they saw Zhou Hao's handsome appearance, In my heart, I have already positioned him as a pretty boy trying to get ahead of the He family.
However, they admired the courage of Zhou Hao, a "little pretty boy", who dared to follow He Xueyun to see He Hongsen.
In the past, the third son of the He family once brought a woman who was living abroad to see He Hongsen at home, hoping that the He family would recognize the woman's identity, but He Hongsen had people drive her back. Soon after, the woman left
After Hong Kong and Macao, the third son was also exiled to Myanmar by He Hongsen to develop the market. He stayed there for three years before returning.
He Hongsen was indeed furious when he saw that He Xueyun had "shamelessly" brought Zhou Hao, his "lover". However, in front of guests such as Lu Zhenwu and Wei Qili, he did not dare to attack unscrupulously and just gave him a cold look on his face.
He Xueyun.
He Xueyun and Zhou Hao walked in slowly under the strange looks of everyone in the He family. It was the first time for Zhou Hao to see these brothers and sisters of He Xueyun. Seeing their expressions of waiting for a good show, Zhou Hao felt sad for He Xueyun in the bottom of his heart.
, the family ties in this wealthy family are really as thin as paper. In order to fight for power and convenience, they engage in unscrupulous intrigues and do things that add insult to injury even more cruelly than they treat their enemies.
Realizing that He Xueyun beside him was uneasy, Zhou Hao patted her hand gently, and gave her a warm look and smile. He Xueyun, who was originally a little flustered, calmed down instantly. He only felt that together with Zhou Hao, the front
Even if you are facing mountains of swords and seas of fire, you are fearless.
Finally arriving in front of He Hongsen, He Xueyun said softly: "Dad."
Looking at He Xueyun, He Hongsen snorted coldly: "I don't dare to take it seriously. Do you still have me as a father in your eyes?"
Zhou Hao did not say hello to his "quasi-father-in-law", but looked up and down at the gaming tycoon in front of him who was nearly eighty years old but still making great changes, the actual manipulator of Macau.
Touching Zhou Hao's fearless and even mocking gaze, He Hongsen almost couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. When would any young man dare to look at him as unscrupulously as Zhou Hao and despise him with his eyes?
At the same time, Lu Zhenwuya was looking at He Xueyun. He, who had always ignored He Hongsen, now rarely said: "Nice little girl, Mr. He has a good daughter."
Lu Zhenwu's sudden words shocked He Hongsen and others. Because they had seen Lu Zhenwu, a taciturn general, who was very coercive, even He Hongsen did not give up his face, so he could only be polite to Wei Qili, who represented the Portuguese government.
.Now that Lu Zhenwu took the initiative to say this, no one could guess what he meant.
He Hongsen rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This is my unscrupulous daughter, but it makes you laugh, General Lu."
After saying that, he turned to He Xueyun and scolded him: "Why don't you come over and see General Lu?"
He Xueyun immediately nodded to Lu Zhenwu and said respectfully: "Hello, General Lu."
Lu Zhenwu waved his hand, and a kind smile appeared on his originally calm and powerful face: "You're welcome, little girl. You must be the daughter-in-law of Xu Jianming's family. I have heard a little bit about you."
