Chapter 9 Get Married Soon
“Oh, come here! Come sit with me so I can take a good look at you!”
Old Madam Huo gestured for Bai Yunjin to come. She even shifted a little so Bai Yunjin got to sit beside her.
“Why did you lose weight?” Old Madam Huo held her chin and studied closely before asking in a cold voice. She immediately turned to Huo Chen who had just come in. “Be honest with me. Did you bully our Yunjin?”
It was as if Bai Yunjin was her real granddaughter.
Huo Chen strode in lazily. There was a smirk on his lips as he said, “Grandma, you're being biased. Why don't we do a DNA test tomorrow to see if I was 'picked up' by the Huo family?”
He said it casually, but Bai Yunjin felt offended.
Huo Chen wasn't picked up by the Huo family; I was the one...
A chill crept down her spine as she lowered her head awkwardly. Old Madam Huo eased the situation by saying, “Scoundrel! Stop spouting nonsense!”
Old Madam Huo grabbed her hands, “Yunjin, tell me. Did that scoundrel Huo Chen bully you? If he treated you badly, tell me so I will punish him!”
Of course Bai Yunjin wouldn't dare to tell on Huo Chen right in front of him.
She was afraid he'd torture her back in the villa after they returned.
“No, grandma,” she mumbled softly.
Huo Chen raised his brows at her shy look. There was an amused smile on his face. Don't assume I don't know what you're thinking of.
You're using my grandma's affection to assume authority because you want to become my wife. Ha!
Bai Yunjin, you're such a calculating woman!
Old Madam Huo was enraged by Huo Chen’s nonchalant attitude.
Her grandson was capable, but he was an unfaithful man!
She often watched the entertainment news on the TV. Huo Chen was rumored to be with different celebrities almost every day!
She couldn't allow that to go on.
“It's fine, dear. I've asked Madam Xu to choose an auspicious date after three months. You'll be married to him soon!”
Old Madam Huo was pleased when she said that. She didn't notice the dead silence in the house after her announcement.
Silence ensued. Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground would be heard clearly.
Besides the dead silence, there was an icy aura surrounding Huo Chen.
Madam Xu, who remained silent spoke up, “That's right! Old Madam Huo even hired an expert to get the date!”
Bai Yunjin never expected that Grandma Huo would be that direct.
She glanced at Huo Chen from the corner of her eyes and saw that the man's expression had darkened.
However, there was a wicked smile on his face, “Oh? Really?”
He swept his gaze over Bai Yunjin, seemingly calm, and repeated slowly, “Auspicious date.”
Snorting coldly, he nodded and reply, “Not bad. Thank you for your concern, grandma.”
Bai Yunjin thought Huo Chen had agreed to the wedding. She slowly let out a sigh of relief. But after Huo Chen replied 'Not bad', he went to the sofa and sat down lazily.
Glancing at Bai Yunjin, he enjoyed looking at her putting up a calm composure. It seemed interesting to him. The man pretended to be in distress and told Grandma Huo, “But you know me well, grandma. I can't really control myself well. If you hand her to me, I might not be a good and responsible husband to her!”
