Shuxin tugged at Huo Yanqing's hand and said with a smile, "Huo Jibai and I are classmates. I feel awkward if you ask him to call me 'Auntie'. Let's just call each other by my name."
Huo Yanqing's brows furrowed a little. He was obviously unhappy, but he didn't say anything else.
Shu Youkang and Cao Guifang arrived not long after the two of them sat down.
Everyone greeted each other and sat down.
While the dishes were being served, Yao Huiqin said to Shu Youkang, "I asked someone to look at the date. There will be an auspicious day in five days. I want Little Five and Xin 'er to get engaged on that day. What do you think?"
Shu Youkang glanced at Shuxin. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "I know that some things may make you unhappy or think that I don't know how to appreciate favors. But for Xin 'er's happiness, I have to say it. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me."
Yao Huiqin smiled and said, "Please don't hesitate to say it. We're all family. There's no need to be so polite."
Shu Youkang said, "The Family Huo is a big family that our Shu family can't reach. Xin 'er will definitely live a life of luxury after marrying into the family. There's no doubt about that. But I think that a woman's happiness doesn't depend on whether she's rich or not. The most important thing is whether she's safe and healthy and has a harmonious family.
The Family Huo is a big family with a big business and all kinds of complicated relationships. Xin 'er grew up under my care and hasn't seen much of the world. I'm afraid that she won't be able to handle all kinds of relationships well. If there's anything that she doesn't do well, please forgive her and guide her. "
Yao Huiqin glanced at Shuxin with satisfaction in his eyes. "Xin 'er is the kindest and most sensible child I've ever met. Don't worry. As long as I'm here, she'll marry into the Family Huo. No one will dare to bully her, not even Little Five."
A smile appeared on Shu Youkang's face for the first time tonight. "I'm relieved to hear that from Mrs. Huo." He then raised the wine glass in front of him. "Here's a toast to you. I'll leave Xin 'er to you in the future."
Shuxin knew that Shu Youkang was saying all this in hopes that she would be able to lead a good life in the future. Seeing him raise his head and drink the entire glass of wine, Shuxin's heart warmed. She was touched and her heart ached. "Dad, don't drink so fast. Drink slowly."
Shu Youkang smiled and said, "It's okay. Dad has a good tolerance for alcohol." Then he poured himself another glass of wine and said to Qiao Ling, "Xin 'er doesn't understand the rules of the Family Huo. Please teach her more in the future. If she doesn't listen to you, tell me and I'll teach her a lesson."
Qiao Ling smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll treat Xin 'er like a little sister."
Shu Youkang nodded gratefully. "I'll drink. You can do whatever you want."
Shuxin watched Shu Youkang drink another glass of wine. The tip of her nose was sour and her eyes were hot.
Shu Youkang poured himself another glass of wine and said to Huo Jibai, "You and Xin 'er are classmates and have a lot to talk about. I hope that you can not only be family, but also become friends. In the future, please keep Xin' er company for me. Come, let's have a drink too."
Shuxin watched as Shu Youkang tried to help her with her future interpersonal relationships. Her heart was boiling. He said this to Huo Jibai because he was afraid that she would be bored in the Family Huo in the future and have no one to talk to.
In the end, Shu Youkang poured a glass of wine and looked at Huo Yanqing. "President Yanqing, I'll be bold enough to call you by your name today. I'm handing my precious daughter to you. I hope that you will treat her well in the future. I'll drink first as a toast."
