The Huo family held a huge birthday banquet every year. He liked to show off and have a celebration.
This was the first time Wen Ruoshui had come to the Huo family’s old residence. They arrived a little late, and almost everyone was already here.
After Dongfang Chu passed away and Nangong Lengyu left, Wen Ruoshui did not even have a close friend in the huge capital. The daughters of aristocratic families of similar age did not associate themselves with her because of the rumors that had spread.
Even on this occasion, it was only a token exchange of pleasantries before they steered clear, as if she were some contagious virus.
She didn’t like this kind of occasion either. She would avoid it if she could. But today was different. It was Old Master Huo’s birthday. He had called ahead and asked her to come. She couldn’t refuse.
Su Xiyin saw her immediately and welcomed her with a smile. She pulled her along affectionately. “Shui Shui, go over there with Auntie.”
Yuanfei would definitely not be able to take care of her on such an occasion. However, she was afraid that the attitudes of many people present would hurt her, so it was safest to bring her along.
Before Shui Shui came, Auntie Yan and her sister had called her and asked her to take care of her.
“Okay.” Wen Ruoshui also liked her very much. She told Yan Yuanfei and left with Su Xiyin.
Even if the people present did not want to talk to Wen Ruoshui, they had to give her some face when they saw her with Su Xiyin. Their attitudes were also very good.
Su Xiyin’s heart ached for her. There were so many kind children who had been harmed by rumors.
The Dongfang family were not good people either. They kept saying that the children of old friends were their children, but in the end, the ones who hurt her the most were from their family.
“Shui Shui.” Su Xiyin looked at her sheepishly and hesitated.
“Auntie, Yu’er is doing well.” Wen Ruoshui was smart and knew what she wanted to say at a glance. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry.”
Su Xiyin felt even more embarrassed. It was all that useless little bastard’s fault. He had hurt the girl so badly that she was too ashamed to call Yu’er, let alone visit her. “Is your body recovering well?”
“Very well.” When Wen Ruoshui thought of her going over this time. Yu’er’s stomach was swelled like a balloon now.
When she next went over, it would be time for Yu’er to give birth. She would be by her side to see the baby born.
“That’s good.” Although Su Xiyin said that, she was still worried. She felt that things were not that simple. Yu’er and Shui Shui were hiding something from her.
But the kid didn’t know how to lie, either. Judging by the way she talked, it was normal. She didn’t seem to be lying to her.
Wen Ruoshui was talking to Su Xiyin, but she did not see Huo Ci. Other than Brother Rong who had something on and did not come over, everyone else had come over except Huo Ci.
Just as she was cursing silently, she saw Huo Ci enter. He was dressed in ancient clothes and had a handsome face. He stood tall and looked like an elegant young master.
Everyone present looked over. The women, regardless of their age, were all attracted by his beauty and elegance. Their eyes were fixed on him.
The men had different expressions, especially Yan Yuanfei and the others. They looked at each other, not knowing what he was up to this time. Not only was he late, but he was also dressed like this.
“Father, I’m really sorry. I was too busy filming. I just finished filming and didn’t even have time to change my clothes before I came over.” Huo Ci bowed to Huo Xiao and smiled. “I apologize to you here.”
