Chapter 388: 390 Very Appetizing (2)_1
If this had been in the past, even if the Huo Family patriarch had been invited, he might not have come.
The two families had not associated with each other for many years, ever since the Fourth Master divorced the eldest Miss of the Huo Family and severed all contacts.
Unexpectedly, after more than twenty years, the Huo Family patriarch not only came today but also brought a generous gift, which was truly astonishing!
What was more peculiar was that the grandparents did not object and just allowed the Third Master to invite the Huo Family patriarch.
One couldn’t help but feel that today’s banquet would be exceptionally brilliant.
The gaze followed in the direction of Huo Jinnan, lingering for a long time.
Qin Shaojin turned his head and glanced over, his eyes landing on Huo Jinnan, "Huo brother, you’d better be mentally prepared."
Huo Jinnan did not speak, knowing that Qin Shaojin might have heard something. His cold eyes swept over the entire banquet hall, settling on the direction of the patriarch.
The patriarch, rarely seen in a black Tang suit and even the accessories he wore, were exquisite.
Uncle Guan followed beside him, wearing black-framed glasses, somewhat less conspicuous.
Seeing Huo Jinnan looking over in this direction and thinking about the patriarch’s purpose for coming today and the possible reaction of the second young master, he weighed his options for a while and his gaze fell on Che Huan and the little fellow.
The second young master must have come prepared, otherwise, why would he bring Miss Che and the young master?
The gaze naturally returned to the patriarch.
The patriarch gave Uncle Guan a covert look and looked in the direction of Huo Jinnan, "Go call the second young master."
Uncle Guan acknowledged with a sound and walked toward Huo Jinnan.
Huo Jinnan, arm in arm with Che Huan, looked at Uncle Guan.
Only when Uncle Guan approached did he speak respectfully, "Second young master, the patriarch calls for you."
Huo Jinnan did not make a sound and his eyes swept toward the patriarch.
Uncle Guan stood by, waiting. After a long while, the second young master did not move, nor did he respond. Uncle Guan gently urged again, "Second young master."
Perhaps because of his height, when Huo Jinnan looked down at Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan felt an indescribable pressure.
Uncle Guan shivered, realizing that at some point, the second young master’s presence had become even more formidable than that of the patriarch and the old master, engendering a sense of dread within him.
Huo Jinnan watched for a moment, raised his hand and took off Uncle Guan’s glasses. He casually took a tissue and wiped them gently before putting them back on Uncle Guan, "Uncle Guan, your glasses were a bit dirty. Tell my grandfather that he looks very sharp in his outfit today."
"..."
Uncle Guan stood there, suddenly unable to move.
Huo Jinnan patted Uncle Guan on the shoulder, "Go on."
Uncle Guan remained stunned for a long while before coming back to his senses. He returned to the patriarch’s side and conveyed Huo Jinnan’s words. Recalling the second young master’s unabashed aura just moments ago, he felt a bit worried.
The patriarch sat there silent.
Uncle Guan asked in a low voice, "Patriarch, about today..."
"Proceed as planned!" The patriarch sat there, thinking about the purpose of Qin Shaojin’s invitation today and the demands of the Qin Family patriarch, he felt like coughing up blood.
Besides, the whole affair had nothing to do with him!
With that thought, the patriarch leisurely closed his eyes, "Miss Fang looks very beautiful today."
Uncle Guan did not respond, bowing his head; everything seemed a little too coincidental, right?
Miss Fang resembled Miss Qin, and Qin Shaojin was going to take her as his adopted daughter.
Thinking about the conversation among the patriarch, Qin Shaojin, and the Qin Family patriarch at the teahouse yesterday, his gaze shifted to Che Huan.
