"You're welcome, I'm telling the truth, aren't you Dean Xuan?"
"Yes, yes, my Ruoxi is a great beauty, you are right."
"Ha ha--"
They smiled and followed Butler Fu all the way to the Huo family hall, where they saw the old man sitting on the main seat with a cane.
When I saw people coming in, I immediately wanted to stand up.
"Mr. Huo, please sit down quickly and don't make me panic!"
"Dean Xuan, you are really good at speaking." Mr. Huo didn't feel awkward and sat down slowly.
"You don't know, when I received your invitation, I was so flattered."
"President Xuan doesn't have to be so outspoken. Today is the weekend and the weather is rare. Let's go to Huo's garden after dinner. Do you like flowers? Just in time, the roses in the yard are blooming."
"Then aren't we lucky?" Xuan Minru looked at Xuan Ruoxi and then at the old man.
After Mr. Huo laughed, he turned his eyes to Xuan Ruoxi who was standing aside. Today, Xuan Ruoxi was wearing a formal suit, sitting respectfully, smiling, dignified and graceful. Mr. Huo's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
While they were talking, a person came down the stairs, it was Huo Jiyun.
Today, he was specially kept by the old man. The Hongmen Banquet was not the first or second time. Huo Jiyun was already immune.
However, when he saw Xuan Ruoxi, who was dressed in formal attire and sitting upright, his original casual expression calmed down. Then he raised the corner of his pretty mouth, maybe today's Hongmen Banquet wouldn't be too boring.
"Haha - Dean Xuan is really a woman, I admire you!" During the meal, they talked and laughed, and Dean Xuan also talked about some of his past things.
"It's also an honor for me to be praised by the old man." The past is like wind, but now I think about it like a dream.
"It's really not easy for you to manage Xifuyuan alone. I think back when I started from scratch, I encountered a lot of ups and downs."
"The old man is a man worthy of admiration. The Huo family has been a good general for all generations."
"I feel ashamed to say that my grandfathers were all in the military, but I was the only one in business ---" Mr. Huo was filled with regret when talking about the past.
"Back then, when I gave up joining the army and chose to go into business, my father didn't have much objection, but my grandfather didn't agree..."
The atmosphere of the meal was very good, the young people seemed very quiet while listening to the old people's memoirs.
Xuan Ruoxi knew some of the past events of Dean Xuan, because the memory of the original owner had allowed her to obtain a lot of information.
But the past of Mr. Huo also made her curious. Because she was so fascinated by what she heard, even Huo Jiyun didn't notice it when he looked around.
Huo Jiyun looked at Xuan Ruoxi and felt that she was very charming as she listened carefully. Her fair and beautiful face looked calm and elegant, and her eyes showed persistence and surprise.
He seems to be very curious about his grandfather's legend, but he doesn't seem to be. Such an expression makes him confused. This is the first time someone has made him confused. Is this girl really only in her twenties? So calm.
Is that sophisticated look just an act?
A trace of amusement appeared on his handsome face.
It is said that people think about things day by day and dream at night. After listening to Mr. Huo's story about the Huo family's past, Xuan Ruoxi was reminded of those people and things in her previous life, including the Huo family, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Shang, and was deeply touched in her heart.
, I was still thinking about it until I went back and lay in bed at night.
So much so that she was besieged by dreams again--
"The Queen!"
"Mother, mother!"
"Queen, I am sorry for you."
"Sister, I'm sorry."
In her dream, Xuan Ruoxi saw her former family, son, daughter, emperor, concubine Li, and a small businessman;
"Queen, don't leave! The small businessman cannot live without you!" The girl cried, sobbing constantly, with so much pain and sadness, far more than anyone else.
"No, Xiao Shang, don't cry, don't be sad, you are a kind child, you are a good child, don't cry, don't cry--"
"Sister Xixi, wake up." Xuan Ruoxi suddenly opened her eyes and saw a white cheek and a pair of innocent big eyes. Her consciousness returned to reality--
"Lulu, why are you here?"
"I can't sleep, so I want to come to Sister Xixi to tell a story. Sister, what's wrong with you? Have you had a nightmare? Why are you crying?"
"Oh, sister is too hot and sweating. Come up quickly." Xuan Ruoxi brushed away the sweat or tears from her face, lifted up a corner of the quilt, and let Lulu climb onto the bed.
The lovely Lulu quickly slipped into bed, holding a comic book in her hand.
"Is it a fairy tale book?"
"Yes." Xuan Ruoxi covered her with a quilt and started telling stories.
"It was a quiet night. Little Lucy leaned against the window and looked up at the sky---"
Following Xuan Ruoxi's gentle whisper, Lulu slowly closed her eyes.

A few days later, at a bar late at night, in the platinum VIP room, Huo Jiyun was leaning on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone.
As a workaholic, he rarely comes here. If he hadn't met Yu Shaoqing halfway, he wouldn't have been dragged here.
"Brother, tonight is fun. To thank you, let me have a drink first."
"Hmph, how can one cup be enough?" Huo Jiyun looked at him without blinking, and Yu Shaoqing pretended to sigh heavily. Without saying a word, he picked up a bottle and blew directly into his mouth.
Huo Jiyun curled his lips slightly, lowered his head and continued to play with his mobile phone. Yu Shaoqing finished the bottle without changing his expression. After the bottle circled on the table three times, he fell to the ground and died.
There were several other people in the private room, who usually played with Yu Shaoqing, and all knew the young master of the Huo family, Huo Jiyun.
"It's such an honor to meet Mr. Huo tonight. I won't say much to express my sincerity. One bottle must be finished!" A man in a suit also wanted to warm up to Huo Jiyun.
Huo Jiyun didn't even raise his eyes. He was playing a game and said casually: "Yu is always my friend. You are not, so you don't need it." As soon as he said this, everyone else felt a little embarrassed and held up the bottle to try.
The man who was blow-dried was instantly petrified.
Seeing that something was wrong, Yu Shaoqing pushed the man hard, "You bastard, Huo Shao and I are good buddies, who are you? You dare to provoke? Go, go, get out of here." Man.
Knowing that they were not easy to mess with, he folded his legs and "rolled" to the side.
Who is Huo Jiyun? Yu Shaoqing knows it very well. They grew up together and went to college together. When he was picking up girls, Huo Jiyun was studying hard at the side.
If Yu Shaoqing is a playboy, then Huo Jiyun is definitely a gentleman.
It's just that people with such two extreme personalities have become good friends.
The love letters in college were received from Yu Shaoqing, but most of them were from Huo Jiyun.
"Brother, it's rare to come here, you won't just play with your phone, right?" Yu Shaoqing glanced at several other people who were already having fun in the corner.
The corners of her lips curled up in an evil way, her eyes met a beautiful woman, and she flirted with her flirtatiously.
The beauty immediately picked up the wine glass and walked over - she said softly: "Mr. Yu!"
Who is Yu Shaoqing? He is a veteran in love. With his long arms, the beauty was in his arms. The beauty twisted a few times symbolically, and finally pouted her red lips and said coquettishly: "How good is Mr. Yu?"
"Little beauty, don't you just like me?" Yu Shaoqing started to become dishonest as he said this.
The beauty moaned and clung to Yu Shaoqing in a pretentious manner.
