Chapter 272 Sparrow with Pheasant, Dragon with Phoenix
Not long ago, Huo Qingying was riding her horse and whip on the manor's pasture, galloping freely, and showed contempt and disgust for the arrival of the Lin family. Now after entering the door, her face was even colder and unsmiling, and it was obvious that the visitor was not good-natured.
"Qingying, aren't you going to ride a horse? What are you doing here?" Huo Huaien was a little surprised when his daughter suddenly appeared and couldn't help but ask.
"I came here to see what kind of character the woman brother likes has. Now that I have seen her, she doesn't seem to be that good at all!" Huo Qingying spoke in a strange tone, clearly filled with strong hostility.
No wonder, in her eyes, her brother was so outstanding that he was dumped, and she was certainly unhappy.
It happened that she overheard her family saying that the Lin family was coming to visit today, so she deliberately did not go out, only waiting for the critical moment to jump out to ridicule the Lin family and defend her brother.
"Nonsense! There are guests here, please restrain yourself and don't be too willful!" Howard immediately scolded his daughter, showing his father's majesty.
The Huo family members are all face-conscious and pay great attention to superficial etiquette. Even a proud person like Huo Qingshu pays attention to solemnity and ritual in everything.
Not to mention Huo Huaien and Huo Hongtu. It's one thing what they think in their hearts, but they still have to be reasonable in words and don't go too far.
Although the Lin family felt sorry for the Huo family, they couldn't ridicule them face to face like this, especially since Huo Qingying was just a junior, how could she have the right to speak?
Huo Huaien also has a little headache about this daughter. She is a different kind in the Huo family. Maybe she was too spoiled when she was a child, and her personality is too frank and straightforward. She often talks nonsense and offends people. She is said to be a socialite, but she has no etiquette at all. She does everything by herself.
His temperament and disregard for the overall situation.
Moreover, as a daughter, she does not study and write well, learn some elegant skills, but likes to dance with swords. There are only a few days throughout the year that she can stay at home with peace of mind. She is often outside doing parkour, rock climbing, bungee jumping, and skiing.
Skydiving, horse riding, surfing, car racing, and some other difficult extreme sports are all considered unprofessional in Howard's opinion.
Now that her daughter is older, she can't discipline her even if she wants to. Huo Huaien is also at a loss. Fortunately, his eldest son Huo Qingshu has lived up to expectations. He has done a great job when he first took over the family business. He is called a business wizard. This allows Huo Huaien to have a psychological balance and Huo Qingying can do whatever he wants.
Let her be!
Under normal circumstances, Miss Huo Er would neither come out to meet guests nor participate in family business discussions. This time she suddenly broke into the old man's study, probably just to vent her anger on her brother.
"What kind of nonsense is this? I came here to see my eldest brother's ex-girlfriend. Is it wrong?" Huo Qingying held her head high and her momentum was still there.
She is not afraid of this father at all. Even if her grandfather is present, she still has to argue with him.
In her mind, how could the Lin family be considered guests? They were just an incompetent family on the verge of bankruptcy. How dare they regret their marriage? It was so unreasonable!
The Huo family is very proud. Although Huo Qingying is a female, she has inherited this pride. She does not like a family like the Lin family that is about to collapse. She even thinks that Lin Shanya is not worthy of being included in the Twelve Ladies.
In terms of family background, he is far behind others.
The Lin family has seniority, a good reputation, and not much strength. Even in its most glorious years, it was only an upper-middle level in the entire imperial capital. It may not even be among the top 100. Naturally, it cannot be ranked among the second Miss Huo.
of discernment.
In her opinion, Lin Shanya's ability to gain the admiration and admiration of her elder brother was definitely a blessing from her previous life. Who knew that this woman didn't know how to appreciate praise, refused to say anything in person, and even regretted the marriage by marrying a wild man?
The man is now brought to the Huo family to show off his power. I am really angry!
Huo Qingying's face was cold and her tone was very unfriendly: "As the saying goes, cats match cats, dogs match dogs, sparrows match pheasants, dragons match phoenix. The future head of our Huo family must at least marry a first-class wealthy daughter.
For people of the Lin family’s level, forget it, there’s no golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop!”
Hearing such merciless ridicule, the Huo family members were embarrassed, and the Lin family members were secretly angry, but it was difficult to show off.
They were originally here to apologize, and they had already made certain psychological preparations. Even if they were scolded, they could only endure it, otherwise the conflict would intensify and get worse, which would violate the original intention.
Ye Xingyu laughed, broke the silence, clapped his hands and said in agreement: "Miss Huo is right. I have just proved that although Mr. Huo is excellent, he is still a little bit behind me. Miss Lin is indeed more qualified to marry me."
The right choice, in today's society, isn't it for those who are capable?"
Huo Qingying arrived late and didn't know what had just happened. She heard something strange and asked angrily: "My brother is the number one son of the imperial capital. How can he be worse than you? You actually said such shameless words? Put a green onion in a pig's nose.
, Pretending, right? And this Lin Shanya, who has neither family background nor ability, why should she be called a lady of the imperial capital? How can she be worthy of my elder brother? "
The little pepper scolded a lot without caring about other people's feelings. Everyone in the Lin family looked ugly, except Ye Xingyu who looked normal and didn't seem angry at all.
He glanced at Lin Shanya and praised with a smile: "My wife is just like me. She is talented in literature and martial arts. She is very capable! Among the ladies of the imperial capital, she is the most capable!"
"Just because she's capable of both literary and martial arts? What a joke!" Huo Qingying didn't believe it at all.
"At least compared to you, she is much more powerful!" Ye Xingyu said with certainty.
"Can she compare with me?" Huo Qingying was furious, with disdain on her face, "It's just a vase, and it's treated as a treasure by you?"
"What I'm telling you is the truth!" Ye Xingyu looked calm and began to compare with examples one by one. "For example, in terms of education level, my wife has a double doctorate degree. Can Miss Huo get a master's degree?"
Huo Qingying immediately became mute and couldn't answer at all.
She has been lively and active since she was a child, so how can she calm down and study? Let alone a master's degree, even the bachelor's certificate was obtained through connections. If it really comes down to cultural level, Lin Shanya will be thrown away by twenty-five points.
street!
Ye Xingyu continued: "My wife has taken over Licheng Wanxiang College since March this year. Over the past six months, she has earned at least tens of millions for the family. May I ask Miss Huo, how much money have you earned for the Huo family this year?"
Huo Qingying choked again and still couldn't answer.
How can she make money as a playgirl who doesn't care about business? She still spends about the same amount of money! Over the course of a year, she will spend at least tens of millions!
Before Ye Xingyu finished speaking, he continued: "My wife not only has knowledge and ability, she is also an accomplished ancient warrior. Doesn't this count as being capable of both civil and military skills?"
