Half an hour later the car stopped at the entrance of Qiao's house in the Huancui district, Qiao An got out of the car abruptly, Huo Feng took the wheelchair down from the trunk, and Huo Chengzhou took a long-legged step straight into the wheelchair and settled down.
He straightened his clothes and lifted his chin slightly, "Go knock on the door."
Huo Feng couldn't tell Huo Chengzhou's intentions for a while, but he just felt that his trip was bound to be not a withdrawal because the marriage was promised by the old man.
So, what's he up to?
...
The doorbell rang a few times and a maid came over to open the door, seeing Joanne froze for a moment and greeted, "Jo ... Missy."
Joanne nodded, "Mr. Huo has arrived as well, go ahead and make an announcement."
The maid's eyes fell towards Huo Chengzhou who was sitting in a wheelchair, probably the man's aura was too oppressive, the maid hung her head in panic: "Yes, Mr. Huo please come in."
After welcoming the three in, the maid took a few steps closer to the mansion to inform them, so by the time Qiao An reached the door, Qiao Minghui, and Zhou Yun were already at the door to greet them.
"Huo Shao." Qiao Minghui was full of smiles, "It's a blessing for me to have you here ... This is my wife Zhou Yun, we should all be meeting for the first time."
Zhou Yun changed the proud conceit on her face and smiled with extra enthusiasm, "Huo Shao."
Huo Chengzhou's eyes fell on the two, his expression reserved and sparse and cold: "Hm."
Qiao Minghui and Zhou Yun's eyes avoided looking towards Qiao An's face, but they didn't see anything special, she looked as cold as ever as if there was no one in sight.
But it would be a little too soon to say that a marriage license has been issued.
So this was some kind of accident?
In any case, first, welcome the person inside, Qiao Minghui's face was overflowing with enthusiasm as he ordered the maid to make tea, while Zhou Yun ordered the maid to get the good snacks and fruits.
Huo Chengzhou didn't say anything, and the expression on his face was always as reserved and cold as ever.
When the tea came up, Qiao Minghui had a humble inquiry on his face, "But where did my daughter do something wrong? Did it upset Young Huo?"
From the beginning to the end, Qiao An listened with a calm face as Qiao Minghui and Zhou Yun enthusiastically struck up a conversation with Huo Chengzhou, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
It turned out they weren't unenthusiastic, it was just that the enthusiasm was never directed at her.
Huo Chengzhou's index finger tapped on the armrest of his wheelchair, and his eyebrows raised slightly when he saw Qiao An still standing behind him: "What are you doing standing? Isn't this your home? Sit down."
Joanne froze, "No Mr. Huo, let's get down to business."
Huo Chengzhou's face turned cold for a few minutes, Zhou Yun keenly aware of it, busy getting up and coming over to pull Qiao An: "Look at this child, what childish tantrums, what's polite about your own family, come and sit."
The moment she pulled on Joanne, Joanne subconsciously wrenched herself away, a look of complete wariness on her face.
Zhou Yun's hand fell short and her face snapped, "Look at this child ..."
Huo Chengzhou's deep voice: "Come and sit down."
Qiao An fell silent and fumbled around Huo Chengzhou to sit on the couch near his side.
Probably this action of hers pleased Huo Chengzhou, the corners of the man's lips hooked slightly, but the light of his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
So the person she trusts most in this family is him?
Tapping his fingers on the arm of the sofa, Huo Chengzhou opened his mouth in a clear and elegant tone, "There's nothing special about my trip, I just want to ask you two if you plan to marry Qiao An to me?"
"Of course." Qiao Minghui hurriedly said, "This child Qiao An is temporarily blind, but the corneal surgery has been booked, and I believe that he will soon be able to see again."
Huo Chengzhou nodded, the expression on his face indistinguishable from joy: "So how many daughters does the Qiao family have?"
Zhou Yun and Qiao Minghui exchanged a glance and answered first, "Two, and a younger daughter Qiao Xue, but this child is currently in a relationship with Mu Haoyan, the second youngest of the Mu family, so ..."
The implication is self-evident.
Huo Chengzhou raised his eyebrows gently, "Call down and take a look."
