Chapter 73: The Hongmen Banquet
The alternate accounts that had been blacklisted again were really upset this time. They wanted to sign up for new accounts, only to discover an additional ident.i.ty authentication check that was not there before. To complete the registration, they were now required to enter their ident.i.ty information.
They filled in their information with a dark look. However, they realized that they had been listed as a banned user from the platform.
Not only was their previous account banned, but there was no chance to register for a new account, and these people were so angry that they almost threw their phones.
After another batch of accounts was banned again, the livestream broadcast room returned to its original state of harmony and calm. At this time, Su Yayan’s last dish was finally ready.
“The last dish is ready, and my guests are almost here. The soup will take about half an hour to cook. Because the time is relatively short, I won’t show you the finished product. Today’s livestream will end here. I may have something to do tomorrow, so I might have to take a day off. I will announce the specific time of the next livestream in advance after it is confirmed. Interested friends can keep an eye out for it.”
When Su Yayan finished speaking, multiple virtual gifts special effects appeared in the livestream broadcast room.
At first, it was only the livestream admin who awarded the gifts. Later, several other viewers took turns to dole out rewards to her. It was altogether an impressive scene.
Su Yayan glanced intently and realized that most of these gifts were from lucky viewers she had picked before.
After turning off the livestream, Su Yayan breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the kitchen to let several servants help to put the big pot of boiled fish and the other two dishes on the dining table.
As soon as she turned her head, she met the hungry eyes of her parents and elder brother, who were eagerly looking forward to dinner.
Su Yayan was speechless.
“You guys…” I thought you had left.
“Ah…” Mr. Su, whose arm was twisted by his wife, said with a straight face, “I hear from Aunt Li that Huo Chenhuan is coming to our house today?”
Su Yayan, “…” It was so difficult to live under the constant scrutiny of these onlookers!
“Yes, he happens to be free today and wants to come and see me.”
“Is that why you woke up early in the morning and made a large table of dishes by yourself?” Su Yuxuan had a cold expression on his face, but his heart was as sour as fresh lemons on a lemon tree.
He did not know when his sister had picked up her cooking skills, but now that she did, she only wanted to cook up a storm and feed that dog of a man. His heart hurt so much!
Cheng Xiuqin was not as hostile to Huo Chenhuan as the father and son, but she was very interested in the delicious dishes made by her daughter.
She immediately clapped her hands and declared, “This is the first time he is visiting our house. We are worried about leaving you alone at home. Today, all of us will not go anywhere and stay in with you.”
“Yes, when future son-in-law comes here for the first time, and there is no one at home to support you, it might give out the impression that n.o.body has your back. What will happen if he bullies you in the future?”
Su Yayan almost cried out, why would they worry about him coming? With so many people in the house, could he eat her alive?
Bah, him bullying her indeed! It would be excellent if she did not bully others. Who would dare to bully her?
Su Yayan had antic.i.p.ated the upcoming Battlefields of Asura 2.0[1] that would break out in her house. She was not looking forward to it.
When Huo Chenhuan returned to the Su residence with Dun Dun, he met the Su family members who sat around a table laden with aromatic dishes. They were waiting solemnly for his arrival. It was a foreboding scene.
As soon as he entered the door, the icy stare of the two men of the Su family swept over him.
Huo Chenhuan wondered whether this was a Hongmen Banquet.[2] If he entered today, could he leave in one piece?
