Hearing Li Qianxue's words, Liu Tongjia took a step forward and was about to speak. Huo Mingguang quickly grabbed her arm and took her in the direction of Huo Yangxiu and the others.
"Uncle, Aunt. I'm so sorry. I accompanied Tongjia to visit a friend, so we came back late. Uncle and Aunt, please don't mind. "
"We're all family. You don't have to be so polite."
Huo Yangyuan had been in the government for a long time, so his words were naturally watertight.
"Yes. Sit down. "
Huo Yangxiu also spoke and gestured for the couple to sit down. However, Old Master Li and Li Qianxue hadn't sat down yet after greeting the two of them.
Old Master Li's expression was a little strange. Old Master Huo also stood up and asked them to sit down.
"Come, Brother Yongfeng, sit here."
Old Master Li's expression eased a little and he sat down with Li Qianxue. Except for Huo Yangxiu and Huo Yangyuan, the rest of the people present were of the same generation as Li Qianxue.
Huo Jinyao introduced them to each one of them. Li Qianxue always had a decent smile on her face, as if the ugly expression on her face when she entered the door was an illusion.
In the eyes of the other relatives of the Huo family, Li Qianxue was naturally very decent. They looked at Su Qingsang, who was sitting next to Li Qianxue, and the two of them interacted with her from time to time.
For Huo Yangxiu and Huo Yangyuan, this in-law looked very good.
However, for people like Huo Mingliang and Huo Mingmei, who had always known that Su Qingsang was just an illegitimate daughter, the scene in front of them was suspicious.
Huo Mingmei glanced at her brother and sister-in-law and found that Liu Tongjia didn't seem to be in a good mood. Occasionally, her eyes met with Li Qianxue's, and they weren't kind.
After thinking about it, she understood what was going on. Su Qingsang was just an illegitimate daughter. Li Qianxue and Old Master Li must have come for the power of the Huo family.
Uncle and aunt didn't know the inside story, so they couldn't see it, but Liu Tongjia definitely knew.
Huo Mingmei felt that she had thought of the key point, and when she looked at Su Qingsang again, her eyes were a little malicious.
"Eldest Brother's wife is called Qingsang, right? Look at me, I can't remember this name. "
She started by belittling Su Qingsang, which successfully made the people in the living room talk and form their own small circles to look at her and Su Qingsang at the same time.
Su Qingsang didn't respond but glanced at Huo Mingmei. His gaze was indifferent, not taking her provocation to heart.
"Qingsang, I think I heard you call the person next to you 'Mom'?"
"Yes," Su Qingsang said calmly. "This is my mother."
"But I heard from Huo Jinyao that your mother is someone else."
In fact, everyone knew that Su Qingsang was actually an illegitimate daughter.
Huo Mingmei rolled her eyes and said faintly, "Why are you calling me mom now?"
The sarcastic and suggestive voice made Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue frown at the same time.
Huo Jinyao's face darkened, and his eyes turned extremely cold.
"I've already explained this to the old man. After Qingsang was born, the hospital mistakenly switched her. I didn't know until later that Qingsang was my biological daughter. Since Qingsang and I are mother and daughter, and we've acknowledged each other, it's natural for her to call me Mom. "
Li Qianxue said calmly. Although the others didn't believe it, it was unlikely that they would question it at this time.
Only Liu Tongjia, who was a little far from Li Qianxue, looked a little cold, and the corners of her mouth and eyebrows were full of sarcasm.
Huo Mingguang looked at his wife, pressed her arm, and gave her a look of approval.
"Oh, the wrong switch. You didn't know until later, so you acknowledged each other? " Huo Mingmei dragged out the last word and looked like she suddenly understood. "You acknowledged each other after Su Qingsang married Huo Jinyao. This is a good time to acknowledge each other. It's really good. "
She faked a smile and looked at the other people present. "You didn't find out sooner or later. You didn't find out until Huo Jinyao married her. It's really good to find out. "
Everyone present was smart. Hearing Huo Mingmei's words, how could they not understand?
It was nothing more than that the Li family recognized the illegitimate daughter as their biological daughter because they saw that the inconspicuous illegitimate daughter had married into the Huo family.
Old Master Li's face darkened because of Huo Mingmei's words. However, he was older than Huo Mingmei, so he naturally couldn't lower himself to argue with her.
Su Qingsang's face darkened. Her lips moved, and she was about to speak. However, the back of her hand was pressed down by Li Qianxue.
"This is …" Li Qianxue pressed her hand to stop her from speaking, but her gorgeous eyes were staring straight at Huo Mingmei's face.
Huo Jinyao had introduced her before, but Li Qianxue seemed to have forgotten it.
"I'm Jinyao's aunt." Huo Mingmei knew that she was doing it on purpose, and her face darkened even more.
"Oh, you're just my aunt. I thought you were Jinyao's mother. "Li Qianxue smiled, but she didn't finish her sentence.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. After all, Jinyao's mother hasn't said anything yet. You're in charge, so I'm just asking. "
It was obvious that he was scolding Huo Mingmei for being a busybody. Huo Mingmei was enraged by Li Qianxue's words. She blushed and glared at Li Qianxue.
"What? Can't I ask? I've seen a lot of people like you. Wasn't he just eyeing the power of the Huo family? For the sake of money, you even accepted an illegitimate daughter. Aren't you afraid of losing face? "
Everyone present watched the scene unfold before them. Both the old and the young didn't speak, and Huo Yifan and the other juniors looked interested.
"Mingmei." Grandfather Huo couldn't stand it anymore. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Did I say something wrong?" Huo Mingmei glanced at Old Master Huo. "Although our family said that we don't interfere with our children's freedom of marriage, we don't want to interfere with them. But to have such in-laws is really — "
He didn't say the last two words, but everyone understood what he meant.
"I don't think it's embarrassing." Li Qianxue saw that Huo Jinyao was about to speak, but she spoke first. Her voice was still calm. "You know who your daughter is, but you don't acknowledge her. That's embarrassing. As for you accepting a daughter for the sake of power — people say that if you have Buddha in your heart, everything you see is Buddha. If you have a devil in your heart, everything you see is a devil. Aunt, you must be the kind of person who would accept a daughter for the sake of power, right? "
"What did you say?" Huo Mingmei had never been mocked like this in her life. She stood up immediately.
"I won't repeat my good words." Even though Li Qianxue was sitting, she didn't lose in terms of aura. "You don't look very old, but your ears are starting to fail. You should go and have a check-up. "
She had to keep a low profile when she was in someone else's territory. But Huo Mingmei's words were too harsh.
If she didn't stand up for her daughter, how could she have a foothold in the Huo family in the future?
Huo Mingmei's husband, Wei Nantian, had been silent until now. He understood that his wife couldn't take advantage of him. He pulled Huo Mingmei's arm and signaled for her to stop talking.
Huo Mingmei shook off his hand. She was so angry that her chest was heaving up and down. She suddenly turned to look at Old Master Huo. "Father, are you just going to watch someone bully your daughter?"
Old Master Huo didn't say anything, but Li Qianxue laughed. "Why do I bully you? It's really interesting. It seemed like only a child would complain to his parents when something happened. My Yuxin is seventeen years old this year, and even he wouldn't do such a thing. "
She was saying that Huo Mingmei was worse than a child.
Huo Mingmei nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, good. How is this a marriage? It's clearly a feud, isn't it? "
"Mingmei, sit down." Old Master Huo looked at Huo Mingmei, his eyes full of disapproval. "Sit down."
Huo Mingmei stood still. Wei Nantian pulled her body slightly and made her sit down.
Old Master Huo cleared his throat and looked at Li Qianxue awkwardly. "I'm sorry. Mingmei has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She doesn't know her limits. I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart, in-law. "
Who was talking nonsense? Huo Mingmei was about to lose her temper again. Wei Nantian pressed her shoulder and whispered something in her ear. She turned her face away angrily and stopped looking at them.
"Of course not." As Li Qianxue spoke, she turned around and gave Su Qingsang a loving look. "Originally. "Originally, we didn't need to listen to Aunt Jinyao's words. Although Qingsang is a good child, she is a little clumsy and doesn't know how to speak well. As her mother, I overstepped my authority and said a few more words. I hope you won't take it to heart, Old Master. "
"We're a family from now on. Of course I won't take it to heart. "Old Master Huo's words were quite beautiful.
He turned to look at Old Master Li. "Brother Yongfeng, don't you think so?"
"Of course." Old Master Li looked around and understood what was going on. He quite agreed with what his daughter had just done.
However, there was still a faint worry in his heart. He was worried that Su Qingsang would have to face such a big family in the future. Her mother-in-law was not easy to get along with. In the future …
Huo Yangyuan, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"Yes, yes. This family doesn't need to be polite. We're a family from now on. It's also fate that we can become in-laws. There's nothing wrong with it. "
As soon as he spoke, Huo Yangxiu also chimed in. Several of the most senior people had spoken, and the rest of the younger generation couldn't say anything else.
Old Master Huo's intention to protect Su Qingsang was too obvious. Even if the younger generation still had some thoughts in their hearts, they swallowed them back.
Even if the matter was over, no one in the living room would talk about what had just happened.
Only Liu Tongjia looked at Li Qianxue, her eyes full of mockery. Su Qingsang felt that look, not to mention the others.
When it was time to go out for lunch at noon, she asked Li Qianxue and Old Master Li to get in her car.
Almost as soon as she got in the car, she couldn't help but ask Li Qianxue.
