At this moment, Huo Jingchen walked from the crowd to Zhao Siqing's side. He held her waist with one hand and said in a low voice, "come with me. "
"okay. " Zhao Siqing smiled at him. She could sense that he had walked all the way here, and everyone's eyes fell on her.
Obviously, old Madam Huo, who was in the center of the venue, also looked over.
Zhao Siqing followed Huo Jingchen all the way to old Madam Huo, and only then did she notice that Gu Anhui had been following behind old Madam Huo. At this moment, she was wearing an elegant black dress that was dignified and imposing.
Old Madam Huo looked Zhao Siqing up and down, then nodded and said gently, "this is Miss Zhao. She is indeed a beautiful woman with ice-like muscles and jade-like bones. "
Zhao Siqing said gently, "I've disturbed you for so many days, but I've never thanked you in person for your kindness. I'm really ashamed. "
"You're Jing Chen's friend, so you're naturally a distinguished guest of our huo family. Don't blame this old woman for not treating you well, " old Madam Huo said with a smile, looking very peaceful.
"You're too kind, old madam. The Huo family's hospitality is very thorough. "
Zhao Siqing was neither servile nor overbearing. She only felt that old Madam Huo's Gaze was particularly sharp. Just calling Jing Chen's friend was enough to indicate her attitude. It was obvious that she did not approve of her relationship with Huo Jingchen.
Old Madam Huo smiled and said, "this is an Hui. She grew up with Jing Chen's childhood sweetheart. I'm sure you've met her before. "
Zhao Siqing looked up at Gu Anhui. The woman in the black dress had obviously dressed up meticulously today. At this moment, there was a smile on her face, but there was a third of mockery, a second of pride, and a fifth of hidden jealousy.
"I've indeed met Miss Gu a few times before, " Zhao Siqing said gently.
The Old Madam Huo said again, "an Hui is the fianc��e that the huo family has chosen for Jing Chen. We only hope that she and Jing Chen will be able to achieve success as soon as possible so that the huo family can flourish. "
The smile on Gu Anhui's face deepened. Speaking of which, she still had to thank Huo Jingchen for removing her arm at the banquet last time. When she returned, the originally hesitant Huo Jingchen had promised her that she would definitely be Huo Jingchen's wife.
Zhao Siqing looked directly at old Madam Huo and said gently, "old Madam Huo has an outstanding eye. Miss Gu is indeed exceptional in terms of appearance, talent, family background, and ability. "
This time, it was old Madam Huo's turn to be speechless. She had not expected Zhao Siqing to praise the woman that they had chosen for Huo Jingchen so calmly.
Her eyes, which were slightly drooping due to the wrinkles, landed on Zhao Siqing's body. Her gaze sharpened. She felt that the woman that her grandson had brought back was quite patient.
Old Madam Huo withdrew her gaze and did not continue the topic. A middle-aged man at the side came forward and said in a deep voice, "mom, the younger generation has prepared a birthday gift and is waiting to celebrate your birthday with you. "
"That's good too. In case all the guests are anxious from waiting, let's begin. " Old Madam Huo turned around and walked to the stage at the side. Gu Anhui followed behind old Madam Huo all the way. When she passed by Zhao Siqing, she gave her a deep look.
After old Madam Huo went on stage, she said a few simple words and then said in a deep voice, "I've invited everyone here today. Apart from this old woman's birthday, my huo family has another announcement to make. "
Everyone raised their wine glasses and stood below the stage, their eyes fixed on Old Madam Huo.
Old Madam Huo pulled Gu Anhui to the front of the stage and said gently, "Anhui is a smart and sensible child. She's gentle and generous. She's very likable to this old woman, so our huo family has decided to officially finalize her marriage with Jing Chen today. "
