As soon as He Chaoling said this, not only He Xueyun himself, but also everyone else at the table changed their expressions. Because they laughed at He Xueyun, but this matter was a taboo in the He family, except for He Hongsen and his three
Concubine, no one dares to expose this and lift the fig leaf of the He family.
Seemingly realizing that she had made a mistake, He Chaoling hurriedly turned back to look at the host's banquet, and saw He Hongsen's majestic and stern eyes. However, it turned out that she had spoken very loudly because of her anger, and several tables nearby
Everyone heard it, including the invited guests.
The atmosphere at these tables immediately became a bit strange. Both the members of the He family and other guests pretended not to hear anything, but their eyes were firmly fixed on He Xueyun and He Hongsen, watching quietly.
Things change.
Under He Hongsen's sharp gaze, He Chaoling, who had been so domineering just now, sat down timidly, with an expression on her face that was uglier than crying. She was not He Hongsen's most beloved daughter in the first place. If she really made He Hongsen angry,
, I'm afraid she will have to be relegated to the sidelines, just like her brothers and sisters who are not favored.
In order to prevent He Hongsen from taking his anger out on him, everyone else at He Xueyun's table immediately stopped talking and sat there in silence, no longer as excited as before about He Xueyun adding insult to injury.
Zhou Hao saw all the changes in these people and sneered in his heart. At the same time, he was also secretly vigilant. The assets he controlled now were growing very rapidly. He believed that it would not take long for him to surpass industry giants like the He family and become a giant.
Another huge business kingdom. There are also many confidantes around Zhou Hao. In the future, he may have a family full of children and grandchildren like He Hongsen. At that time, if Zhou Hao does not handle it well, there may be something like the He family among family members.
A situation of intrigue.
Zhou Hao must not let this situation happen. Otherwise, even if he wins the whole world, what's the point? Otherwise, he will become one of those ancient dynasties that rose and fell.
As if he guessed Zhou Hao's thoughts, He Xueyun held Zhou Hao's hand together and gave him a warm look.
Contacting He Xueyun's gaze as warm as spring, Zhou Haoden felt his heart warm. From He Xueyun's eyes, he could see that this woman who had decided to give up everything for him had no desire to compete for favor.
Sure enough, He Xueyun leaned into Zhou Hao's ear and whispered: "Don't worry, if we have children in the future, we will never be like them."
Zhou Hao took the opportunity to tease her and said, "You have already thought about having children."
He Xueyun secretly pinched Zhou Hao's thigh below the table. He Xueyun was very angry at his enemy's inappropriate teasing.
Next, members of the He family and guests all sent birthday gifts to He Hongsen one after another. The gifts were different, including precious medicines, exquisite jewelry, valuable calligraphy and paintings, etc.
When it was He Xueyun's turn, everyone saw He Xueyun giving a small purple brocade box to He Hongsen. He Hongsen took it with an expressionless face, not caring what He Xueyun gave him, and casually handed it to the servant beside him.
Lan Qiongqing smiled deliberately and said: "Hun Sen, Xueyun must have put a lot of thought into the gift that he gave you. Just open it and take a look. I think everyone will be very curious."
He Hongsen glanced at Lan Qiongqing, because her name was He Xueyun, who neither had a job nor was favored by him. Except for the dowry prepared by the family for her when He Xueyun got married, she didn't have much money on hand, which was more than other favored children.
He had a lot of money. Therefore, most of the birthday gifts given to him by others were things worth tens of millions, but He Xueyun could not have so much money to spend.
Lan Qiongqing's move was clearly intended to make He Xueyun look embarrassed in public. Although He Xueyun was the one who made the fool of himself, in the eyes of outsiders, He Xueyun was always a member of the He family, and it was the He family that was ultimately embarrassed.
However, since Lan Qiongqing had already said it, He Hongsen couldn't make a temporary change, so he opened the little brocade box.
I saw a piece of paper quietly placed in the small brocade box, with the names and dosages of medicinal materials such as chafer beetles and astragalus written on it. He Hongsen didn't know why and looked up at He Xueyun with a bit of confusion and displeasure in his eyes.
He Xueyun immediately explained to him: "Dad, this is, this is a prescription prepared by Zhou Hao himself. It is very effective in replenishing qi and maintaining health. As long as you take this prescription once a week, it will be very good for your body."
He Hongsen snorted coldly when he heard that Zhou Hao had prepared the prescription. He was originally very dissatisfied with He Xueyun's act of using this unknown prescription as a birthday gift to him, but now that he knew that the prescription was actually prepared by Zhou Hao, he felt dissatisfied with it.
It got even more annoying.
He Hongsen has a romantic nature. Although he is old, he often seeks famous doctors to prescribe medicine to nourish his body. He has met many old Chinese doctors. He simply does not believe that the young Zhou Hao can prescribe any outstanding medicines.
In front of everyone, He Hongsen couldn't bear to scold Zhou Hao directly, but he closed the brocade box expressionlessly and handed it to Lan Qiongqing next to him without saying a word.
Of course, other people also knew that He Hongsen was not happy with Zhou Hao, but it was other people's family affairs and they would not care about it. However, Li Yingjie, who had a good impression of Zhou Hao, was unhappy about what happened to Zhou Hao.
After a night of commotion, the banquet broke up and the other guests left one after another. Lu Zhenwu was persuaded by He Hongsen to stay, and Xie Taiwang would also stay here for two days before returning to Malaysia.
After the banquet was over, He Hongsen said to Lan Qiongqing and the others: "It's been a long time since our family has been together like this. It's a good day. Let's all go to the side hall on the second floor to get together. General Lu and I will go first.
Let’s chat.” Then he turned to Lu Zhenwu and smiled: “General Lu, there are two bottles of Laojiao wine that are over a hundred years old in my study, are you interested in trying them?”
Lu Zhenwu did not accept He Hongsen's kindness. He waved his hand and said, "I don't like drinking very much, so I'll skip it."
"Then..." He Hongsen looked troubled.
"Aren't you going to listen to the family meeting? It is said that managing the family and governing the country brings peace to the world. Mr. He can control such a huge business kingdom. I also want to see Mr. He's way of managing the family, but I wonder if Mr. He would mind?
"
"I don't mind. I don't mind." He Hongsen said with a smile.
If someone else had made such a request, He Hongsen would have been kicked out long ago, but Lu Zhenwu's request showed that he was willing to get close to the He family. Let me ask, if he even participated in the He family's family meeting, is it not considered close?
What?
Xie Taiwang was not far behind. He said with a smile that he wanted to watch how He Hongsen taught the younger generation so that he could go back and teach his prodigal sons a lesson. He Hongsen also happily agreed.
So, the group went to the side hall on the second floor of the villa. Seeing that Lu Zhenwu and Xie Taiwang were present, He Hongsen's children thought that He Hongsen would not let go and teach them a lesson in front of the guests, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did he know that in order to show his closeness to Lu Zhenwu, He Hongsen had decided to teach his children how to teach them. It would be better if Lu Zhenwu taught the younger generations with him.
So as soon as He Hongsen and Lu Zhenwu sat on the high-backed huanghuali chairs on the left side of the side hall, He Hongsen suddenly said to He Xueyun: "Xueyun, these days you and the Xu family have been making a fuss and it's hard to live in peace. Xu Jianming also
You called me to complain, saying that you raised a wild man outside and ruined the reputation of the Xu family and the He family. Tell yourself what is going on."
Seeing that He Hongsen suddenly changed back to the powerful patriarch in the family, the children in other rooms couldn't help but raise their eyebrows. Those who had been sitting carelessly immediately straightened their postures and only dared to put half of their buttocks on the chair.
He Xueyun was also a little flustered by He Hongsen's sudden attack, but when he saw Zhou Hao was still beside him, he calmed down, met He Hongsen's sharp gaze, and said softly: "My marriage to Xu Jinsheng is no longer the same."
Maybe if this continues, he won't consider me his wife at all, and I won't like him at all."
"Of course I know what that boy Xu Jinsheng has done, and I have no intention of stopping you from divorcing him." He Hongsen's tone became more severe: "But what does your affair with Hongxing mean? That little bastard
It's the wild man you provoked outside.
Damn it, you have the guts to bring it home on my birthday? Do you care about the reputation of our He family? Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us outside?
How many people are waiting to see our jokes?"
Hearing He Hongsen call Zhou Hao "little bastard", Lu Zhenwu and Xie Taiwang beside them couldn't help frowning, but they didn't say anything. He Hongsen, who was showing off his image as a patriarch, didn't notice them either.
Faced with He Hongsen's rebuke, He Xueyun trembled, but immediately tightened Zhou Hao's hand, met He Hongsen's gaze again, gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, I don't like Xu Jinsheng. I haven't from the beginning to the end."
I liked him, and the reason why I married him in the first place was just to follow your instructions. However, I can no longer tolerate Xu Jinsheng, and I will no longer stay in the Xu family. What I like is Zhou Hao, and I want to
Be with Zhou Hao!"
He Xueyun's clear and resolute voice echoed in the side hall. After she said these words, she felt as if her whole body had lost all strength. She was about to fall down, but her heart felt unusually relaxed.
After telling He Hongsen her true wishes, she felt that the boulder weighing on her heart had disappeared, and the cage that bound her had been broken.
He Hongsen was infuriated by He Xueyun's words that sounded like a declaration of uprising. Just as he was about to get angry and reprimand, he saw Zhou Hao, who had been silent, supporting He Xueyun and sneered at him: "He Hongsen, listen.
Come on or not, Xueyun has already chosen her own destiny, and you have no right to control her life. Hehehehe... From now on, she is mine to take care of!"
