The family soon sat down at the dining table to have lunch together.
"Zilan, have you informed your parents and family about annulling the marriage with Xiao Mei?", Qin Fanze asked after taking a few bites of the food. He paused and glanced over at Huo Zilan.
He had to admit that he was very proud to have Huo Zilan as his son in law. After all, the Huo family was the most powerful family in the entire country and Huo Zilan's uncle, Huo Xinhan was a powerful figure across the world.
With such a strong alliance between them, his business would definitely plummet in the future! His entire circle of friends were already envious of him and trying to suck up to him.
Hmph! He was now going to be a powerful figure feared by many!
"My parents have agreed but we are yet to inform the main family yet. Tomorrow, there will be a family dinner and I plan to announce it there", Huo Zilan replied calmly and looked over at Qin Mingmei.
Qin Mingmei immediately blushed and looked away.
"That's great, I heard the Ninth master, your youngest uncle returned to the country a few days ago. Will he also be there?", Qin Fanze asked, trying to suppress the excitement in his heart. He had always wanted to find a chance to meet this powerful and mysterious figure and now they were going to be family! There would be lot of chances in the future.
"I'm not entirely certain. Grandpa and Grandma always invite him but he rarely ever shows up", Huo Zilan sighed helplessly. He was really scared of his younger uncle and did not dare to speak much about him. Although they were family, they had met less than ten times and only interacted twice!
"MingMing, make sure to put on your best behavior tomorrow", Qin Fanze spoke softly to his daughter.
"Of course dad!", Qin Mingmei blushed and lowered her head to continue eating. She was barely suppressing the excitement in her heart. Tomorrow, she was going to meet all those rumored powerful figures of the Huo family who ruled the country.
It was said that even the president had to make an appointment before he could meet those powerful figures!
Hmph! With all this benefits, no wonder that wench wanted to keep Huo Zilan to herself!
After the lunch, Huo Zilan and Qin Mingmei chatted for a while before he finally left.
"MingMing, why did Zilan not take you out for shopping? Do you not have to buy a gown for the dinner tomorrow?", Hong Xu approached her daughter and asked softly, her eyes filled with displeasure.
"Mom, don't worry. Brother Huo wanted to escort me but he suddenly received a call from his parents so he left me with a card", Qin Mingmei proudly showed the card to her mother.
Hong Xu was pleased with her daughter and smiled, her eyes were filled with endless pride.
All the other ladies in her circle were so jealous and envious of her for catching such a big shot of a son in law.
"MingMing, mom is so proud of you and so is your dad. It is a good thing that creepy old man fell into a coma or he would not have allowed such a good thing as this to happen. We also managed to kick that bitch illegitimate daughter out, I wonder where she went", Hong Xu eyes were filled with malice and viciousness as she spoke about Qin Mei.
"Mom, don't you think it's bad that she's gone? We will not have the chance to control her anymore!", Qin Mingmei's voice was filled with unwillingness and unease.
"MingMing, actually it's good that she's gone. She will not be able to obstruct your marriage with Zilan. Don't worry, after you get married, your dad and I will find a way to bring her back!", Hong Xu smiled cunningly.
"Really? But what if by then she finds a big shot or someone powerful to support her? Mom, I want to trample on her all my life! She does not deserve to live a good life with that seductive face of hers!", Qin Mingmei gritted her teeth. She hated it whenever she saw Qin Mei's face! That face should have belonged to her and not Qin Mei!
"MingMing, forget about that little bitch, think about the family dinner and start preparing", Hong Xu said.
"Huo Zie promised to escort me to the mall. I'll wash up and dress up", Qin Mingmei informed her mother.
Hong Xu nodded and then excused her daughter.
Qin Mingmei put on light makeup and then chose a pink dress that wrapped tightly around her body exposing her slender waist and sexy body curves.
She left her half length black hair loose and put on a pair of white long heels together with a luxurious white Chanel bag before stepping out.
Hong Xu saw her daughter descending the stairs and her lips curled up into a smile.
Her daughter was truly the epitome of beauty and was only deserving of someone like Huo Zilan.
How dare that illegitimate daughter dream of having Huo Zilan?
Qin Mingmei waved goodbye to her parents before entering their family's black sedan.
She informed the driver about the destination before calling Huo Zie to ask about her whereabouts.
"ZieZie, I left home a few minutes ago. What about you?", Qin Mingmei's voice was soft and sweet but filled with a hint of humility.
Huo Zie was a daughter of the Huo family and the sister of Huo Zilan so she had to try her best to please her even though they were of the same age.
"AnMing, I'm still choosing my clothes. I'll be there in a few minutes", Huo Zie replied, her voice filled with a hint of arrogance.
"Okay, take your time. I will be waiting for you", Qin Mingmei replied sweetly before hanging up.
Qin Mingmei was a popular actress and since she had a huge fan base, she dared not step out of the car with her bare face.
She made sure to put on a mask and sunglasses before stepping out. In order not to attract attention, she did not bring any bodyguards.
If it were any other day, she might have brought bodyguards but this time she wanted to buy her gown in peace.
"Miss Qin is here, you're welcome", The head shop attendant immediately welcomed her sweetly.
This Miss Qin was someone they would never dare to offend, she was popular, she had a powerful family and it was rumored that her boyfriend was from the Huo family.
Anyone who dared to offend the Huo family must have been tired of living.
"I'm waiting for someone so I'll just take a look around", Qin Mingmei took off her sunglasses and smiled sweetly at the head shop attendant.
"Sure, please take a look around. It's our honor to have Miss Qin shop here, I'll asign a few attendants to you", The shop attendant replied, trying her best to flutter her.
Although she said a few, the head shop attendant assigned about ten people to attend to her.
Qin Mingmei was pleased with the attention she received but she seemed calm on the outside.
As she was taking a look around, Qin Mingmei caught sight of a familiar figure.
"Qin Mei?", Qin Mingmei was taken aback and immediately stood up to follow the figure.
