Chapter 265 The first wave of business blows when we first met
Even if the car was idling, it was much faster than walking. Following the winding road, Ye Xingyu quickly drove the car in front of the small Gothic castle.
Two rows of people lined up to welcome them, which was very impressive. There were eight rows on the left, all male waiters, and eight rows on the right, all female servants. They were all neatly dressed, with their chests held high and their heads held high. It was like a military parade. It was great.
There is a sense of ritual.
Huo Qingshu's cousin Huo Yan stood with his hands behind his hands between the waiters and maids. As soon as the car stopped, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Welcome all distinguished guests to the Huo family!"
Lin Changfeng wanted to pretend to be sick, so of course he couldn't get out of the car by himself. Zhao Cheng took out the wheelchair from the trunk of the car, and Ye Xingyu took Mr. Lin out of the back seat, put him in the wheelchair, and then pushed him inside.
Huo Yan led the way, and the group entered the castle. The interior was luxuriously and magnificently decorated, just like a royal palace in the European Middle Ages.
In the spacious and luxurious living room, there were two men, one middle-aged and one young, with very similar faces. The younger one was Huo Qingshu, the first son of the imperial capital, and the older one was his father, the current head of the Huo family.
Howard.
Nowadays, the person with the highest seniority and prestige in the Huo family is Mr. Huo, Huo Hongtu. He has already handed over the baton to his eldest son, Huo Huaien, and retreats behind the scenes to enjoy family happiness and no longer cares about the trivial family affairs, except for some major decisions.
Only then would Huo Hongtu make up his mind.
Huo Hongtu, like Lin Changfeng, also has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son Huo Huaien, the second son Huo Huaide, and the youngest son Huo Huaiyi. As for the two daughters who are married, let's not mention them.
In such a wealthy family, unless a daughter is particularly capable, her son will not be valued as much. After marrying, she can only be regarded as half of the Huo family, and her influence is far less than that of the three brothers, including Huo Huaien.
Huo Qingshu is the son of the current head of the family, Huo Huaien. He also has two sisters, one named Huo Qingying and the other named Huo Qingxue.
Huo Yan is Huo Huaiyi's illegitimate son. Although they are cousins, their status in the family is very different. Even the word "qing" symbolizing seniority is not allowed to appear in their names, so Huo Yan can only do it for Huo Qingshu.
Dog legs, can't get on the table.
Seeing Lin Changfeng being pushed in in a wheelchair, Huo Huaien, as the head of the Huo family, did not dare to complain. After all, he was a junior and could not lose his etiquette, so he took the initiative to greet his son and greeted him with a smile: "
Is Mr. Lin okay recently?"
Lin Changfeng's old face also showed a smile and replied: "Except for this old problem, I am fine. I can eat and drink, but I can't move my hands and feet. I'm waiting to be put into the coffin!"
While answering, Lin Changfeng paid attention to Huo Huaien's face and didn't notice anything strange.
He had also suspected that the main messenger of the poison was the Huo family, and this visit was for the purpose of testing.
After all, because of Zhao Cheng, the person who planted the poison already knows that his deeds have been exposed. If the Huo family is really behind the scenes, they will probably be a little surprised to see that Lin Changfeng has no signs of the poison, and Zhao Cheng is completely unharmed. But from Huo Huaien
Judging from his expression, everything seemed to be normal.
If there was something wrong, it would be that the Huo family's attitude seemed a bit too polite.
It stands to reason that the Huo family should be very angry when the Lin family broke up their marriage. However, from the moment they entered the Huo family until now, everyone has been very polite, fully fulfilled the reception etiquette, and treated the Lin family and his entourage as distinguished guests.
Lin Changfeng couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the Huo family's gourd. For the time being, he could only take one step at a time and see what was supposed to come.
Huo Huaien nodded to Zhao Cheng again and said, "My father has been staying in the study this morning. I'll invite him to come over. You two can chat slowly!"
