Chapter 117: An Expert in Framing Her Fiancé
In the beginning, Grandpa Cheng did not warm up to Dun Dun, but after they interacted for a while, his att.i.tude suddenly changed 180 degrees, and the little corgi liked to run behind him whenever he was around.
Su Yayan would bring Dun Dun back to the Cheng family during the winter and summer holidays. Every time she brought Dun Dun along, Grandpa Cheng would help her to care for it. Whenever Grandpa Cheng came to her home, he would always take it out for a stroll.
It had escaped his mind yesterday as he was upset. When he woke up that morning and started looking for the dog, he realized that his beloved dog was… given away!
Grandpa Cheng was fuming all morning, and his anger extended to the Young Uncle of the Huo family, who had robbed him of his granddaughter and his favorite dog. His dissatisfaction towards Huo Chenhuan grew further, and the impression that he struggled to improve fell to the bottom again.
Su Yayan, who realized that she had accidentally framed Huo Chenhuan again, “…” She thought apologetically, ‘My darling, I did not mean it!’
Huo Chenhuan, who was busy confirming the progress of his plan with the help of several of his trusted men at that time, felt a s.h.i.+ver run down his spine for no reason, and a chill rushed into his head.
Zuo Yanbai noticed his strangeness for the first time and said with concern, “Young Master, the ocean breeze is strong. Do you feel cold? Would you like me to bring you a blanket?”
“No.” The chill came and went quickly, so Huo Chenhuan did not take it too seriously.
“Are the flowers ready?”
“They are all ready. Everything suits Ms. Su’s preferences, and we only picked the most beautifully bloomed ones. In addition, the greenhouse in the old mansion has been replaced. We will finalize all the improvements before your wedding.”
As Yu Ziyan spoke, he could not help but shed bitter tears for himself, as though his gardening phobia had suddenly returned.
The flowers in the garden of the old mansion were all personally planted by him!
Huo Chenhuan did not sense Yu Ziyan’s resentment. All he was thinking about was the unfinished engagement ring and his proposal plan that was almost complete.
Everything was moving in a positive direction. Huo Chenhuan was in a good mood and plucked a blue rose and tucked it in Dun Dun’s head.
He pushed the big pink bow on its head to the side, and as the sea breeze blew, the poor little guy was immediately confused by the floating pink princess dress, and it was dumbstruck!
After Su Yayan figured out that the old man was unhappy, she was about to coax him, but Cheng Xiuqin caught her before that.
“Mom?”
Cheng Xiuqin clutched Su Yayan’s hand tightly and said in embarra.s.sment, “Yanyan, I want to tell you something.”
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m not sure how Huo Qihan and family heard the news, but they called your dad and me this morning and said they would come to our house to apologize to us in person…”
Su Yayan’s eyes looked slightly surprised, and she asked without thinking, “Is it because of grandpa?”
Cheng Xiuqin was taken aback. “How do you know?”
When the Su and Huo families decided to unite in marriage, the conditions of the Su family were slightly worse off than the Huo family.
However, Huo Qihan’s family had a far more enthusiastic att.i.tude towards this marriage than the Su family, and the main reason behind that was Cheng Xiuqin’s maiden family.
Cheng Xiuqin’s maiden family had aristocratic and scholarly roots. Although they were not as rich as the typical wealthy businessmen, their background was far superior to ordinary people.
Especially during Grandpa Cheng’s generation, he and the late Madam Cheng were both academicians of the research inst.i.tute from different departments.
Although Madam Cheng had died young, her connections remained. Coupled with the relations of Grandpa Cheng and the Cheng family, they were well-connected in many places, and their network was most impressive.
