Chapter 235 - Calculations of Wife and Wife
"Xi Wen, it"s you, it"s really you …" Zhang Jun Xian muttered, but he did not pull her up. On the contrary, his lips slowly moved down, closer and closer to her face.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing that, Huo Xi Wen was terrified, she was just about to reach out and slap him away, but in the next second, his face dropped, his head buried into the side of her head, and she fell drunk again.
Huo Xi Wen pushed him away from her with disgust and sat up on the bed. She straightened her clothes, turned her head and poked him with his finger, "Hey, Zhang Jun Xian, are you still awake? "Get up, get up."
However, the other party didn"t seem to hear her voice and didn"t react at all.
Now Huo Xi Wen was sure that Zhang Jun Xian was still drunk just now and had not woken up yet.
Looking at his messy sleep on the bed, he was a bit annoyed. With great effort, he straightened his body and covered him with a blanket.
After confirming that he had slept well, she felt that she should not stay here any longer and quietly left the room.
Down the stairs, Ah Ping had already finished cooking the hangover soup and was about to carry it upstairs. Seeing Huo Xi Wen coming down, she immediately asked, "Miss Huo, why did you come down?"
"He fell asleep. I saw that nothing had happened, so I came down." Huo Xi Wen said, she then walked to the side of the sofa and saw that the Mrs. Zhang and the Mrs. Zhang were both sitting there, and then went to greet them, "Grandmother, Grandmother, Junxian is already asleep, if there is nothing else, I will be going back first."
"No rush, Xi Wen, come over here and sit. This is the first time you"ve come to our house, and I can"t even talk to you when you"re drunk." Mrs. Zhang waved at her with a kind face.
Of course, Huo Xi Wen did not want to sit with them. Mrs. Zhang was fine, he was a good person, his speech was more tactful, but Mrs. Zhang was different. She liked to put on the airs of a senior, using his junior"s respect for her.
However, the other party had already sent out an invitation. It would be unjustifiable if he did not come over to take a seat.
Since he had no other choice, Huo Xi Wen braced himself and walked in front of them before sitting beside Mrs. Zhang.
"Grandma, aunty, I am truly sorry. This is my first time coming here, and things happened too suddenly. I also didn"t prepare any gifts in advance for the two of you. I hope the two of you will forgive this junior"s mistake." Huo Xi Wen was afraid that they would pick on her, so she intentionally spoke the truth, acting as though she knew how to be polite, and said.
Sure enough, when she said that, Mrs. Zhang shook her head and laughed, "You little girl, do you think Grandmother and I lack your gown? We"ll be family from now on, there"s no need to be so polite with us. We haven"t thanked you for bringing back Junxian. "Really, why does he have to drink so much?"
"This... "I"m not too sure either …" Huo Xi Wen only shook her head as if she didn"t know anything. She didn"t dare to tell them that Zhang Jun Xian had met with some trouble, and was drinking by himself.
He didn"t want the two of them to get to the bottom of the matter. As a girlfriend, he didn"t know any better, so the two of them became suspicious instead.
"Xi Wen, I know that you are usually busy with work, but Grandmother has something to remind you, you have already seen the news about us, now the whole country knows that you are together, so as our Zhang family"s future daughter-in-law, you should help us look after him, if you have time, you should accompany him, it"s best if you come to our house to eat and eat, this way we can improve our relations.h.i.+p, don"t you think so?" Mrs. Zhang said sincerely and earnestly at this time.
Hearing this, Huo Xi Wen"s face was filled with black lines.
She was merely revealing her relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Jun Xian, how did she become the future daughter-in-law of the Zhang Family?
This was still far from an engagement date.
Wasn"t it a little too early to say such words?
"Grandma, Junxian is usually quite busy as well." Huo Xi Wen reminded her with a smile.
Hearing that, Mrs. Zhang nodded his head, "That"s true, we, the handsome men who manage such a big company by ourselves, are indeed very busy, so, as a lady, I hope that you can take care of our talented man, this is also your responsibility as his future wife right?"
"…" Huo Xi Wen was a little speechless, this old lady"s theory was too weird.
Their Zhang family"s business was not as big as the Huo Family"s, why did Zhang Jun Xian get his to take care of him when he was busy?
And when she was busy, she needed time to pay attention to him. What kind of logic was this?
The one who should be cared for should be her, right?
Luckily she and Zhang Jun Xian were not in love, otherwise, with such a kind old man, it would be hard for her to bear.
Mrs. Zhang saw that Huo Xi Wen"s expression was somewhat unpleasant, so she immediately laughed and said, "Mom, Xi Wen is very sensible, she knows what to do."
"It"s one thing to know how to do it, another to really not be able to do it. Originally, I didn"t want to say these words, but now, the people outside know about our relations.h.i.+p. Sometimes, even if it"s just an act, it"s better to let others see that we have a relations.h.i.+p, isn"t it? Xi Wen, do you think what Grandmother said is true? " Mrs. Zhang said stubbornly.
Huo Xi Wen knew that she was forcing him to express his stance, so she lightly coughed and said, "Actually, I"m not that surprised by the eyes of others, I"m happy or not, it"s fine if I know it myself. Right now, the Ming Yuan Group was the perfect time for development. It was also right for the handsome man to put more effort into her work. When it comes to matters of the heart, let nature take its course. "
"That"s not the way to say it, Xi Wen, I"m going to criticize you for this idea of yours. Do you know what is the most taboo thing in this society? That would mean being criticized by outsiders. You also know that a lot of people are staring at our Zhang and Huo families right now. Only by stabilizing your relations.h.i.+p with Junxian can he concentrate on his career. In my opinion, the two of you aren"t very young anymore, especially you, Xi Wen. In the matter of marriage, you two can be considered to have pa.s.sed through the ages, don"t you want to settle down a little earlier? " Mrs. Zhang stared at her and spoke slowly.
After Huo Xi Wen heard this, she vaguely sensed that this old lady seemed to want to force a marriage.
Moreover, her words seemed to intentionally or unintentionally discriminate against her experiences in getting divorced. She immediately became a bit annoyed, and didn"t want to stay here any longer, so she said, "Grandma, you must be joking. Since I dared to divorce, I"m naturally not afraid of others pointing fingers at me." It"s precisely because I"ve been around for a long time that I need to be extra careful when it comes to marriage. As for your plan of settling down, I don"t think I"m really out wandering right now, right? "
"Women have to marry after all. Sooner or later, you will join my Zhang Clan." The old lady was getting a little anxious and immediately said.
"That is true, but the difference between early and late is still very big. Right now, for me and Junxian, the biggest problem is to do our own jobs, don"t you think?" Huo Xi Wen would not be persuaded so easily by her. If she had followed the Old Granny"s instructions right now, then she might be forced to set the date for the engagement.
She did not plan to get engaged to Zhang Jun Xian, even acting would not work.
"The cause is important, but …" At this time, Mrs. Zhang seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and stopped her, "Aiya, mom, don"t be anxious. Let them discuss the matters of the children themselves first, we will just wait for their good news."
"What do you know? I just want to quickly hug my great-grandson. " The old lady rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law as she spoke to herself.
After Huo Xi Wen heard this, she became even more embarra.s.sed.
Hugging her great-grandson, how lucky that she could think of such a thing.
"Um, Grandma, Aunt, it"s getting late. My mom is still waiting for me at home. After work, I won"t disturb your rest any longer, so I"ll be leaving first." Huo Xi Wen stood up, and said goodbye to the bickering fiancée.
"Ah?" Xi Wen, you"re leaving just like that? " Hearing that, the Mrs. Zhang also stood up.
"Mhmm, my mom is still waiting for me at home. I"ll come see you two again next time." Huo Xi Wen promised with a clever face.
"Alright then, drive safely while you"re on the road." Mrs. Zhang walked her to the door. He did not stand up, nor did he say anything.
"Got it, thank you Auntie and Grandma." Huo Xi Wen thanked her and walked out of the living room, towards the car he parked at the door.
Mrs. Zhang stood at the door and watched her get into the car. He started the car and left the courtyard before turning around and returning to the house.
Upon entering the house, she spoke to Mrs. Zhang, "Mom, you should stop bringing up the matter of her divorce in front of Xi Wen. How embarra.s.sing is that for your child?"
"What do you know? That Huo Family girl is arrogant, if I didn"t mention that, she would have always thought that our Zhang Family was above her." If we were to marry her in the future, we would definitely be eaten alive by her. " The Mrs. Zhang said with a scheming expression.
"But even so, what if she"s unhappy that you keep bringing it up?" Mrs. Zhang cared more about Huo Xi Wen"s feelings, she was also worried that if Huo Xi Wen got annoyed one day, what would happen if they turned hostile?
"She"s not happy? I"m not happy. I don"t mind her getting divorced. Listen, just ask Zhou Wan Ru out in a few days to talk about the engagement of the two children. Didn"t Junxian say that ever since their relations.h.i.+p was announced, the price of our company has been rising rapidly? If we get engaged, it will probably grow even more. " The Mrs. Zhang calculated.
The Mrs. Zhang agreed, "Let"s discuss this with the handsome Xian and go to the Mrs. Howe to arrange a meeting."
"As early as possible, I feel like that girl from Huo Family still hasn"t calmed down. We can"t let this fat fly away."
"Don"t worry. With such a handsome man around, you won"t be able to fly away."
