119: How did you talk to Brother Chen?
Huang Hui was a little surprised.
Why would Older female cousin ask about Chen Zhide's family?
Is she still angry about me introducing Chen Qiu to her daughter last time?
However, she didn't think much of it; in fact, it was just as she wished!
"That's them."
"Zhifeng's younger Brother Chen Zhide, and his wife Luo Jinglan..."
As soon as Huang Hui finished speaking, He Lan and He Yongliang looked in the direction Huang Hui was pointing, their eyes a little excited.
"Older female cousin, you don't know..."
Huang Hui was about to seize the opportunity to complain about Chen Zhide's family, but He Yongliang's family on the side directly walked towards Chen Zhide.
Huang Hui was stunned.
Why did she feel that He Yongliang and the others seemed impatient?
She quickly followed.
With a hint of superiority on her face, she introduced them to Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan.
"Zhide, Jinglan, this is my Older female cousin, my Older female cousin's husband!"
"This is their daughter, He Ting."
Speaking of He Ting, a mocking and playful smile immediately appeared on Huang Hui's face.
She still clearly remembered the angry phone call He Lan made after Chen Qiu and He Ting's blind date.
After that, she used the incident to criticize Luo Jinglan several times, but the latter remained unmoved, always giving her a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton.
Now, seeing Older female cousin's family so eager, could it be that they were going to make things difficult for Chen Zhide's family?
Thinking of this, Huang Hui was secretly excited.
On the surface, however, she spoke as if covering for Chen Qiu.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Jinglan, the attitude your Chen Qiu had towards that girl when he went on a blind date with He Ting..."
Before she could finish, He Yongliang next to her suddenly interrupted with a sharp shout!
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Huang Hui was almost startled.
She opened her mouth, and under He Yongliang's wide, angry gaze, she fearfully shrank her neck.
Wh-what happened?
He Yongliang wished he could punch Huang Hui right now.
She just had to bring up the one thing they didn't want to talk about!
Bringing up that blind date right away, wasn't that just embarrassing them?
He should have known better than to give that red packet earlier!
After scolding Huang Hui, He Yongliang immediately put on a kind and somewhat fawning expression, looking at the astonished Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan.
"Brother Chen, Sister Luo."
As soon as He Yongliang spoke, his address for Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan almost made Huang Hui's jaw drop; she looked at them in disbelief.
Chen Yujie and Lin Shanshan, who had just walked over, also instantly froze in place.
"Our daughter was ignorant before and offended President Chen; we have already disciplined her!"
He Yongliang said, then pulled He Ting over.
The latter, with a docile expression, bowed to Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan to greet them.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
"Ah, hello, young lady."
The somewhat surprised Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan quickly responded.
This girl, was she the one Huang Hui introduced to their son back then?
They had seen He Ting's photo, so they had a slight impression.
Huang Hui was already dumbfounded, her brain completely crashed.
How was the scene before her completely opposite to what she had imagined?
Especially He Ting's docile appearance, was she still that pampered niece who was being kept?
At this moment, He Lan, with a beaming smile, took out a red jewelry box from her bag.
"He Ting was too pampered before and caused you some trouble. This is a small token of our apology, a jade bracelet. It's not expensive, please accept it."
She opened the box, revealing the jade bracelet inside.
Huang Hui, seeing this, almost popped her eyes out.
Isn't this the bracelet He Lan posted on herWeChat Moments (Moments) before?
She remembered it was bought for over 500,000 yuan, right?!
You call this not expensive?!
How could Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan be worthy of such an expensive gift?
Seeing Chen Zhide and his wife's somewhat surprised and cautious expressions, Huang Hui subconsciously spoke.
"Chen Zhide..."
"How dare you speak to Old Brother Chen like that?"
He Yongliang roared again.
Huang Hui was utterly bewildered!
In her confusion, she subconsciously spoke.
"Brother, Brother Chen?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Huang Hui instantly reacted.
I'm the elder sister-in-law!
Calling him brother?
Huang Hui's face instantly turned purplish-red like a pig's liver.
Under He Yongliang's gaze, she couldn't flare up.
Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan were also a little surprised.
Luo Jinglan looked at the jade bracelet in front of her, her thoughts turning.
She couldn't tell how much the bracelet cost, but she guessed it definitely wouldn't be cheap!
Moreover... what kind of blind date failure required an apology and compensation?
Luo Jinglan recalled that He Yongliang had just called him President Chen... undoubtedly, he must have something to ask of her son!
Otherwise, would they, as a couple, be worthy of such respect?
As soon as she thought it concerned her son's career, Luo Jinglan instantly became extremely cautious.
She didn't take the jade bracelet, instead waving her hand and saying.
"It's alright, nowadays everyone advocates for free love, blind dates are just for getting to know each other. There's no need for an apology!"
Chen Zhide also reacted and quickly said.
"That's right, we certainly can't accept this. Just having a few drinks later will be enough."
Seeing their firm attitude, He Lan didn't know what to do for a moment.
She glanced at He Yongliang, who gave her a look.
Only then did she put away the jade bracelet.
"Old Brother Chen is right, let's have a few more drinks later!"
With that, He Yongliang actively greeted Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan and walked into the hotel.
Leaving Huang Hui standing there, her face alternating between green and white.
She never expected that He Lan's family, whom she had brought to assert her authority, would turn into sycophants upon seeing Chen Zhide and Luo Jinglan!
And 'Old Brother Chen'?
You're a few years older than Chen Zhide, have you no shame?!
"What are they after?!"
Huang Hui gritted her teeth.
Zhifeng, who had come over upon hearing the commotion, was speechless.
Even the usually arrogant He Yongliang's family was so humble in front of Chen Zhide... "It seems those rumors about Chen Qiu are true..."
"True, my foot!"
"They're all just people who get a bit of money and don't treat others as relatives!"
Huang Hui broke down, standing there and cursing.
At this point, she dared not and did not want to face reality!
It made her look like the biggest clown!
Chen Yujie, standing behind her, quickly stepped forward to comfort her; the housewarming banquet hadn't even started yet.
Lin Shanshan, meanwhile, clenched her teeth, completely bewildered.
Thinking of how He Ting, whom she had considered a proud Baimi, was fawning over Chen Qiu's parents just now, she also felt a bit broken... The housewarming banquet then hastily began.
Huang Hui had prepared twenty tables in total and had originally planned to give a speech on stage, but she had lost all interest.
She sat to the side, head down, eyes vacant, completely devoid of spirit.
He Yongliang, meanwhile, kept trying to bond with Chen Zhide.
And Chen Zhide, after special instructions from Luo Jinglan, was very cautious.
He could drink and brag, but as soon as the conversation turned to Chen Qiu, he would immediately laugh it off and change the subject.
He was afraid that speaking carelessly might affect his son's career.
He Lan, on the other hand, brought He Ting to chat with Luo Jinglan about everyday life.
Compared to Chen Zhide, Luo Jinglan was much more relaxed.
While laughing and talking with He Lan, she was also busy trying to find blind date prospects for her son among the relatives.
Which left He Lan quite stunned.
Surprisingly, Luo Jinglan actually found a few suitable candidates.
After eating and drinking to their fill.
Just as the housewarming banquet was about to end, everyone suddenly noticed the hotel staff inexplicably gathering.
Security guards were fully arrayed at the entrance.
The manager, dressed in a suit, accompanied by a tall front desk lady, was looking out at the hotel entrance.
Amidst everyone's curious gazes, a roaring sound first entered their ears.
Then, a mercedes-benz two-door coupe, with the roar of a V8 engine, slowly pulled up to the hotel entrance.
