1619, The two families seem to be getting divorced
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Lan's aunt and her family came here. Unexpectedly, Huo Lan's cousin also came with them.
"Lan Lan, my aunt didn't know what to prepare, so she bought a safety lock for Yueyue. I hope the little girl will be safe and healthy in the future."
Cao Lifang said, took out a box from her bag, opened it, and saw that it was a safety lock made of pure gold. It was not big, estimated to cost five or six thousand yuan, but for Cao Lifang's family, it was already a very big deal.
An expensive gift.
Huo Lan did not refuse, she knew that this was the intention of her aunt and uncle.
"Thank you, aunt, thank you, uncle."
"You kid, why are you so polite to us? You have given Xiao Qi so many gifts this year, and we have to be the ones to thank you."
The person speaking was Cao Lifang's husband and Huo Lan's uncle, Zhou Mingqiang, a simple university teacher who had worked hard all his life and earned a small salary from the school. He could not be said to be rich, but his salary was a little higher than that of an ordinary office worker.
"Uncle, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Xiao Yihe. You can just call him Yihe. We should have come back to see you long ago, but we have been delayed until now because of pregnancy."
Huo Lan was afraid that her aunt and her family would think Xiao Yihe was rude, so she hurriedly explained, and Zhou Mingqiang waved his hand.
"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't this a special situation for you? I remember that my eldest sister went back to Penang a year ago and told us about you and Yihe. Your aunt and I are happy for you from the bottom of our hearts. Now that your family has two children, we
, I feel relieved, and I believe that my brother-in-law must also be very pleased."
The brothers-in-law Zhou Mingqiang and Huo Lan's father have a pretty good relationship in private. Zhou Mingqiang teaches economics in college, so he and Huo Lan's father also have some common topics.
When Huo Lan's father was still alive, he invited Zhou Mingqiang to be the economic consultant of Tucson Real Estate. However, Zhou Mingqiang only focused on academic research and had no interest in other things. After several times, he gave up.
"Sister, brother-in-law, thank you for your gifts."
At this time, Zhou Qi walked out of the small room next to Huo Lan's daughter, holding in his hand the newly released mobile phone from Yaoyuan Technology that Xiao Yihe brought this time. Zhou Qi had just been studying this for a long time.
That's when I got some free time.
"You kid, you don't know how to be polite, Xiaolan, Yihe, don't send him these things in the future. Now the house is full of old mobile phones that he replaced. I think he can open a store soon."
Cao Lifang said a little embarrassed.
Ever since Zhou Qi and the others went to Kyoto a year ago, Zhou Qi has kept in touch with Huo Lan and Xiao Yihe. Maybe it’s because they love Wujiwu. Xiao Yihe is also very good to his brother-in-law. Every time the company releases new products, he will give them to Zhou Qi.
Send a copy, no, within one year, Zhou Qi bought three mobile phones, two laptops, and a whole family game set. It is said that the whole set cost hundreds of thousands.
"Auntie, it's just a few mobile phones. Every time the company comes out with a new product, it will be sent to some partners and some anchors and celebrities as a product experience, and Zhou Qi also gave us a lot of advice worth learning from.
"
"Really?"
Cao Lifang looked at her son suspiciously, and then at Xiao Yihe, who nodded.
"I can also lie to you. Zhou Qi's major is very suitable for the product experience field. He can also use this to get involved in this industry as early as possible. When he graduates from school, he will be considered a person with work experience, which will be helpful for him to find a job in the future.
It’s beneficial and harmless, and I looked at Zhou Qi’s grades last semester, and every item was excellent, and it is said that he even won the first-class inter-school scholarship.”
It seemed that Xiao Yihe was not innocent, and when he said this, Cao Lifang felt relieved a lot. She also hoped that her son could have a good relationship with her niece-in-law, and maybe she could get some help in the future.
"Mom, look, my brother-in-law said this, why don't you believe it? Besides, it's possible that my school grades can be faked. I've already said that nothing I do will affect my studies.
, just don’t worry.”
Zhou Qi said confidently, and Cao Lifang said nothing more when she saw this.
Afterwards, the two families had a meal together. Since there were no ingredients prepared in the villa, Xiao Yihe found a hotel nearby.
Cao Lifang also learned some things about that year from Mrs. Huo, and this incident was mentioned at the dinner table.
"Sister, what are you going to do when you come back this time? Brother...does he know you are coming back?"
Cao Lifang asked cautiously. She knew the seriousness of this matter, so she didn't want to get involved. She just thought about the breakdown of the relationship between brother and sister, which made her somewhat upset.
When Mrs. Huo heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, and then she sighed softly.
"I didn't inform them that Liu Ruicheng has been fired from the company. I heard that the two of them have returned to Penang to avoid trouble, so it's better not to tell them about our return for the time being."
Recalling that when the group fired Liu Ruicheng, Liu Ruicheng and Cao Sitong went to Su Chunjingyuan to find Xiao Yihe, but Xiao Yihe and the others had already returned to Luo City at that time. They stayed in Kyoto for a while, and finally saw that there was nothing they could do.
They were able to return to Penang, but Huo Lan knew very well that once Cao Sitong knew that they had returned to Penang, he would definitely come to visit them.
Cao Lifang listened, nodded and said something.
"Liu Ruicheng and Sitong seem to be having a lot of trouble recently. Didn't they get the certificate before and plan to hold a wedding after the Chinese New Year? Now the two families are in trouble and they seem to be getting divorced."
Hearing this news, Huo Lan and others also looked shocked. When they met Cao Sitong and Liu Ruicheng in Kyoto a year ago, they were so loving. Her aunt praised Liu Ruicheng to the sky, but she didn't expect it.
It's only been a year, it seems like it's only been three or four months since I got the certificate, and it's already getting to the point where I'm going to get divorced.
"Is it so serious? Who suggested it?"
Mrs. Huo asked with some gossip at this time.
"I don't know the specifics. I met Zhang Ailan a few days ago and said that Liu Ruicheng was useless. How could he have agreed to this marriage if he hadn't been interested in Liu Ruicheng having a good job? He also said that the Liu family was not worthy at all.
Sister, you also know that the sister-in-law is very snobbish. Liu Ruicheng has not been able to find a good job since he came back. How could the sister-in-law be tolerated? I guess the young couple was instigated by the sister-in-law to separate.
.”
"This is interesting, but I don't know how long she can be proud of it."
Huo Lan said this coldly at this time, making Cao Lifang and others confused, and Zhou Qi asked directly curiously.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
Zhou Qi didn't know the real purpose of Xiao Yihe's visit to Penang this time, and Cao Lifang didn't tell him about these things. She felt that Zhou Qi was still a child and there was no need to know these complicated things.
Facing Zhou Qi's doubts, Huo Lan didn't explain much and just found a reason.
"Nothing? I just thought that my uncle would still be able to sit in that position for a few more years at such an old age. Don't they know that when a tree falls, the monkey will scatter?"
"Hey, my aunt is just a villain. I guess even if my uncle retires, she will still be the same. She is definitely a great person in her family. I'm not saying that. It's just that Liu Ruicheng regarded her cousin as a treasure. She looks so good.
She's not pretty. She graduated from college. If she didn't have the support of her uncle, who would be interested in her? She's just as mean as her aunt."
Zhou Qi has a completely different attitude towards his two cousins, Huo Lan and Cao Sitong. It seems that he has been a loyal supporter of Huo Lan since he was a child. No matter what he does, he will always stand by Huo Lan unconditionally.
After hearing Zhou Qi's words, Cao Lifang glared at him.
"Xiao Qi, what are you talking about? No matter what you say, she is still your cousin, no matter how big or small she is."
"Humph, what did I say wrong? Besides, does she treat me like a younger brother? She is sarcastic and sarcastic all day long. Does she treat me like a sister?"
Zhou Qi retorted angrily. Cao Lifang shook her head helplessly. Without saying anything, she directly changed the topic and looked at Mrs. Huo.
"Sister, how long will you stay when you come back this time?"
"It's not clear yet. We are going to see Wenming in two days. It's time for Wenming to see his son-in-law. These two children haven't met their grandfathers yet. After that, Xiaogua and Yihe should go back to Kyoto first.
The little guy still has to go to school."
Xiaogua was a little unhappy when he heard what his grandma said. He had never been separated from his mother for such a long time. However, he thought of his father's advice and did not say anything. Anyway, he still had his father with him, so it could comfort him.
young heart.
When Cao Lifang heard this, she looked at Huo Lan and asked.
"Lan Lan, do you want to stay in Penang?"
Huo Lan nodded and said.
"Well, I have to stay here to deal with some things, and I may stay for a while."
Cao Lifang probably knew what Huo Lan was talking about, so she just said something without asking any more questions.
"Okay, then my aunt can see you more often from now on."
I like the boss who pursues marriage: Madam, where can I run?
