Huo Xun said that everything should be kept simple, so he did not make any big fuss and only invited members of the Huo family.
But because the Huo family has many children, nearly fifty people came. What was even more surprising was that Mr. Huo’s second wife was also present.
She is sixty years old this year. I heard that she was married to the old man as his second wife when she was eighteen years old, and then she gave birth to two sets of twins for him one after another, one is a son and the other is a daughter.
They are Lu Qingqing's fourth uncle Huo Ying, fifth uncle Huo Jie, eldest aunt Huo Xinmei, and second aunt Huo Xinmeng.
Today is the most complete group of people from the Huo family. On the one hand, some of them have not met Lu Qingqing and are a little curious about her. On the other hand, Huo Xun is the head of the Huo family and is currently the head of the Huo family. Even if they have normal relationships,
Not good, but at times like this, you always have to show your face and show off.
Lu Qingqing's second uncle's family also came with the whole family this time. The second uncle was recently successfully elected as the vice chairman of the board of directors, and he was very high-spirited and arrogant.
However, Huo Qianqian looked a little haggard. She had been driven crazy by the 38 million US dollars.
Uncle Kun asked her to mortgage a piece of land owned by Huo Xian, but she was worried that if her father found out one day, he would have to skin her.
So she thought of a way. While the whole family was not at home tonight, she had someone go to her house to steal the property rights documents for Huo Xian's land.
Even if Huo Xian finds out in the future, she can still distance herself. The main thing is that the person she is looking for is Huo Hengyu's driver. She plans to give the driver a sum of money and let him run away after a while, so that if Huo Xian finds out about this, she will
You can blame everything on Huo Hengyu.
She could say that Huo Hengyu got into trouble and needed a sum of money to settle the matter, and she was just helping Uncle Kun find it, so that even if Uncle Kun bit her, she would have an excuse to excuse herself.
Although the plan was very thorough, Huo Qianqian was still very nervous, fearing that something would go wrong in the middle.
Because of the arrival of the second wife, the banquet had not yet started and the atmosphere was not so harmonious.
The second wife heard from Huo Xinmei that at the last family dinner, Lu Qingqing revealed that her fourth uncle Huo Ying had an illegitimate child, which almost broke up Huo Ying's family, so she looked at Lu Qingqing with a somewhat unkind look.
At this time, the fifth aunt came over and reminded Lu Qingqing in a low voice, "Old lady, I am angry with you because you exposed your fourth uncle's background."
Lu Qingqing did not expect that the fifth aunt would kindly remind her, otherwise she would not know why the second wife didn't seem to like her very much.
So that’s it.
Like son, like mother.
Everyone is almost here, and then it’s time to display the gifts.
The second wife gave a diamond watch, the second uncle gave a golden Buddha, and the third uncle gave a birthday picture painted by himself...
Huo Xuancheng gave a luxury car worth tens of millions, and Huo Chengyi gave a set of fishing gear worth hundreds of thousands.
Then it was Huo Yifei's turn. He seemed unprepared. When everyone looked at him, he was a little stunned.
Huo Feifan asked in a low voice: "Third brother, where is your gift?"
"Isn't it because you are not prepared?" Huo Hengyu laughed.
Because Huo Yifei was kicked out of the board of directors, many people were watching his jokes.
Although Huo Yifei has many properties and he is not short of money, the Huo family is his foundation. Leaving the Huo family is like a tree without roots and water without a source, losing its support overnight.
Huo Feifan was a little anxious, "Third brother, if you were not prepared, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
If you don't give a decent gift for such an occasion, you will be looked down upon.
At this time, Huo Yifei smiled and took out a property transfer document, "Dad, I bought you a 1,000-acre manor. Have you always wanted to live a pastoral life? There are all modern facilities there.
The staff is also ready. When you have nothing to do, you can go there with your mother to stay for a while."
"1,000 acres? Third brother, didn't you buy an entire small town?" Huo Zi exclaimed.
This gift was really shocking, and everyone felt that Huo Yifei was really generous.
Huo Feifan was so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to take out his gift.
Compared with Huo Yifei, his winery pales into insignificance.
Those who wanted to see Huo Yifei laugh just now were all dumbfounded.
Even Huo Xuancheng's face looked a little bad. A 1,000-acre manor would cost at least several billion. Huo Yifei had been rumored to be rich before, but he still didn't believe it. It turned out that his third brother had been hiding it.
After everyone had displayed their gifts, Mrs. Huo was about to announce the start of the banquet.
The second wife suddenly asked: "Has Qingqing prepared a gift?"
When everyone heard this, they remembered that they had forgotten about Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing's face turned red. Sheng Mingxi said that the gift was delivered today, but it has arrived at this time and is still missing.
Huo Xun also remembered what Lu Qingqing said that Sheng Mingxi had prepared a gift for him. Originally, Sheng Mingxi said that he would not be able to come because he had something to do today, so he was not very happy, but now even the promised gift is gone.
Everyone turned their attention to Lu Qingqing again. Several brothers could not sit still. Mrs. Huo wanted to come out and smooth things over.
At this time, the second uncle Huo Xian suddenly stood up and ridiculed: "Qingqing, although you are a girl, filial piety does not distinguish between men and women. How could you not even prepare a gift for me?"
Before Huo Xian finished speaking, the housekeeper came in and said that someone had sent Lu Qingqing Huo Xun's birthday gift.
Lu Qingqing felt happy and quickly asked someone to bring the gift in.
As a result, the housekeeper brought in four people carrying a large box.
"What is this? It can't be a bar?" Fourth Uncle Huo Ying mocked. "Can you do this?"
"I guess it's some scrap metal. Hey, country people are country people and they have no knowledge." Aunt Huo Xinmei said disdainfully.
At this time, Mrs. Huo came over, took a look at the inconspicuous box, and said, "Okay, Qingqing's gifts have arrived, everyone can take a seat."
"Wait a minute, the gift hasn't been opened yet. We all want to see what's inside?" Uncle Wu said.
Fifth Aunt rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you joining in the fun?"
"I'm just curious, aren't you curious?" Uncle Wu said innocently.
"Butler, open the box." Lu Qingqing also wanted to see what Sheng Mingxi sent.
The housekeeper glanced at Mrs. Huo, and opened the box in full view of everyone. There were twenty-eight exquisite boxes inside, and each box contained a purple clay teapot of exquisite craftsmanship.
"Isn't this the sky-high-priced purple clay pot that was sold at the auction a few days ago?" The third uncle exclaimed. He watched the auction. To be honest, he was also very tempted by this set of purple clay pots, but he couldn't bear to part with it.
Spend 200 million to shoot this thing.
Huo Xun was very excited when he looked at this set of valuable purple clay teapots.
The purple clay teapot was his lifelong favorite. Regardless of the value of the gifts just now, this set was the most attractive to him.
It seems that among his many sons, none of his sons-in-law understand him well.
