Chapter 178: For the sake of my great-grandson, I have to apologize
"It's April now. When school starts in September, my baby will only be five months old. Will I have to go to school with a big belly?"
Qiao Chuchu expressed her concerns.
Su Yihui didn't think this was a problem.
"Nowadays, many people are getting married and having children during graduate school. It is indeed a bit harder in the first semester. But it's okay. Once the child is born, mom will take care of him for you, and you can just study with peace of mind."
On the side, Jing Boqian called Huo Yunzheng to the yard and the corridor. His expression was a little serious.
"Xiao Xi has a child, which is a good thing, but you haven't fulfilled your promise to our Jing family yet."
Huo Yunzheng lowered his head slightly in front of Mr. Jing and said, "I will go back to the Huo family this afternoon and talk about this matter."
"Although you and Xiaoxi have obtained the marriage certificate, your Huo family does not recognize this marriage. Our Xiaoxi cannot continue to follow you without knowing the reason. Moreover, now that you have a child in your belly, shouldn't you also put the wedding on the agenda?"
Huo Yunzheng understood the old lady's thoughts, and answered with a serious and firm look, "Don't worry, I will definitely give her an explanation."
……
At the Huo family's old house, the housekeeper was delighted to see the young master suddenly return, and went to report to old man Huo.
In the front hall, Huo Liancheng was wiping his antique vase. When he saw Huo Yunzheng come in, he glanced at him.
"Is there something wrong with coming back at this time?"
Humph, wasn't his soul seduced away by that woman from the Jing family? He no longer has his grandfather in his eyes!
"You have a granddaughter-in-law."
Got it?
Mr. Huo didn't react for a moment, "What happened to her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Liancheng's lips trembled slightly.
This... is this a child?
Although Huo Ziyan took the surname Huo and was considered a child of the Huo family, he was not a biological child after all.
Now that Huo Yunzheng is going to have his own flesh and blood, their Huo family will truly be a family of four generations living under one roof.
"Great, great, I can now hold my great-grandson in my arms!"
Huo Yunzheng sat on the mahogany chair and looked at the old man, reminding him intentionally.
"If you didn't agree to recognize her as your granddaughter-in-law, the baby in her belly has nothing to do with you."
Huo Liancheng was choked by him and couldn't say a word.
"I came back today just to tell you that it's up to you to decide whether you want to hold your great-grandson." Huo Yunzheng seemed to be sure that he would nod in agreement, and left calmly.
The butler heard it all clearly and saw that the old man's face was frozen.
"This bastard boy dares to threaten me! What? He wants his child to have the surname of the Jing family, even though he is the bloodline of the Huo family?!"
The butler swallowed his saliva and reminded: "Young Master, he might really do it."
Huo Liancheng was stunned. He knew the grandson he had raised well. Once he had chosen someone, it would be almost impossible for him to let go.
Did he really have to admit his fault to that stinky old man from the Jing family?
If I lower my face to lick the old man of the Jing family in exchange for holding my great-grandson, after careful consideration, it doesn't seem like such a big loss, right?
"Damn it, you little bastard just wants to piss me off to death!"
Although Huo Liancheng was somewhat shaken, he was still very angry, but he couldn't do anything about Huo Yunzheng.
The next morning, at Lishuiju, Qiao Chuchu just got up and saw a lot of people standing in her yard.
"Honey, who are they?"
She was wearing home clothes, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were a little sleepy.
"Cough-cough-"
Hearing the noise and noticing an old man standing in the crowd, Qiao Chuchu perked up a bit.
Could the person in front of me be Huo Yunzheng’s grandfather?
Huo Yunzheng held her hand and patted the back of her hand gently, telling her not to be too nervous.
Huo Liancheng was wearing a black new Chinese-style coat with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread. He looked at the woman next to his grandson.
Because it was their first meeting, he was a little embarrassed.
"You're pregnant, so I asked someone to get some ginseng and mountain mushrooms to bring to you to nourish your body."
Qiao Chuchu smiled lightly and thanked him.
"Excuse me."
Uncle Hui had already asked someone to prepare tea and put breakfast on the table. Huo Liancheng was worried about his great-grandson, so he came here early in the morning without even having breakfast.
Qiao Chuchu went back upstairs, changed her clothes, washed up briefly, and sat on the dining chair, feeling a little uncomfortable.
She always felt that she was being scrutinized.
Huo Ziyan sat next to Qiao Chuchu, eating breakfast quietly, glancing at Huo Liancheng from time to time.
He didn't know when this great-grandfather came over, but this man had said before that he didn't like his mother, so the little boy was now very alert.
If great-grandfather bullies mom, he will protect her!
"Are your grandpa and your parents free today?"
Qiao Chuchu was drinking porridge. When she heard Huo Liancheng asking the question, she immediately raised her head.
She subconsciously looked at Huo Yunzheng. From what Grandpa Huo said, did he want to meet with their Jing family?
Huo Yunzheng was as calm as ever, "Mr. Jing is retired and recuperating at home, he is always available."
Huo Liancheng snorted. If it wasn't for his great-grandson, he would never have visited the Jing family.
Sipping his tea, Huo Liancheng glanced at Qiao Chuchu who was sitting there eating quietly.
The first time I met this girl from the Jing family, she had a pretty appearance and a clean temperament. It was obvious that she was not the kind of woman out there who would play tricks and do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
Although he has always had objections to this marriage, he is still confident in his grandson's vision.
After breakfast, Qiao Chuchu called her mother and told Su Yihui that they were on their way to Jing's house.
Jing Xiuyuan, who was about to go out to the company, put down his briefcase after hearing the news.
Is someone from the Huo family coming?
Then he would have to take a good look. If the Huo family continued to be as rude as before, his family would not give in.
Even if Xiaoxi doesn't enter the Huo family, she is still the precious daughter of the Jing family, and they will still take good care of their grandson!
At nearly eleven o'clock in the morning, there were many gifts placed in the living room of the Jing family. They were prepared by Huo Liancheng.
Qiao Chuchu sat next to Su Yihui, holding a glass of warm water in her hand, and noticed the implicit confrontation between the two old people.
She had heard her mother talk about the grievances between the Huo and Jing families. Her grandfather and Old Man Huo were close friends when they were young, and they had collaborated on many projects.
Later, they wanted to cooperate to open a factory, but the license was delayed because the person in charge of the approval was selfish and believed that the factory could not start construction unless he paid a sum of money.
Although Jing Boqian was in a difficult situation at that time, he did not compromise and was ready to find another way. As a brother, Huo Liancheng also agreed and would never give in.
But just a few days later, Huo Liancheng opened the factory himself, and only his name was written as the legal representative.
This not only violated Jing Boqian's principles, but was also a betrayal of the friendship between them.
Jing Boqian has always remembered this incident.
