Ch 332: if Line （14）
Huo Yunli suddenly turned cold and looked at Gu Qingyin, “What do you mean? Can’t I even hold my nephew?”
Gu Qingyin propped her chin with a smile on her lips, “Don’t worry, my son doesn’t know you yet. What if he thinks you’re a kidnapper? Don’t you think so?”
Huo Yunli snorted, but still took out the red brocade pouch she had prepared in advance, condescendingly squatted down, and made herself smile kindly, “Baby, I’m your aunt.” She shook the brocade pouch in her hand, “If you call me, I’ll give you a gift, okay?”
Unfortunately, the first one she looked for was Little Xingye. Although this child is young, he has a lot on his mind.
Little Xingye looked at her seriously for a while, then turned to look at Gu Qingyin, silently inquiring, as if to confirm something.
Gu Qingyin nodded slightly.
Little Xingye, having received confirmation, turned his head and called out in a milky voice, “Little Aunt.”
Huo Yunli said “Eh” with shining eyes, handed the brocade pouch over, and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Xingye.” After all, Little Xingye is young, and he can’t say many words clearly. He knows this himself. Usually, except for a few words that are clearly spoken, he doesn’t like to talk at other times, so he seems a bit aloof.
Huo Yunli didn’t understand. She only thought that the child didn’t like to talk, or didn’t like to talk, and couldn’t help but complain that Gu Qingyin didn’t teach the child well.
When Little Xinghai and Little Xingchen saw this, they stumbled over and sat down next to their eldest brother, reaching out their little hands and shouting, “Little Aunt! Little Aunt!”
Huo Yunli’s eyes curved with a smile, “Good, everyone gets one!”
Little Xingchen took the brocade pouch and opened it on the spot. Inside was a jade amulet inlaid with gold. The mutton-fat white jade matched with gold was quite beautiful.
“Ah…” Little Xingchen made a disappointed sound, and his hand loosened, throwing the peace talisman on the ground.
Huo Yunli frowned slightly when she saw this, thinking that the child didn’t know the value of the goods.
At this time, A Ren stepped forward, picked up the jade amulet, put it back in the brocade pouch, and carefully put it away.
Huo Yunli didn’t stop him. She only thought that these three children were playmates of the triplets. Anyway, with so many people watching, he would have to take out this peace talisman sooner or later.
With Huo Yunli setting an example, the others also stepped forward one by one to present their greeting gifts. Before long, the three children were surrounded by gifts. Of course, most of them were bank cards. Those who didn’t prepare anything could only give bank cards.
The three little ones instantly became rich. It’s a pity that they don’t care about these things at all.
“After all, they’re still young and don’t know the value of these things. It’ll be better when they grow up.” Someone said, “Cousin-in-law, you have to help the children put away the gifts.”
Gu Qingyin didn’t recognize who the speaker was at all, but it didn’t prevent her from retorting, “The entire Huo family will be theirs in the future. Who cares about this little bit of money.”
The man choked, his face instantly flushed red. How could he forget that, if there were no accidents, a future Huo Family Head would be born from these three little brats who couldn’t even speak properly.
It’s true that people have different fates. How could they be so good at reincarnating?
Even Huo Yunli had no room to interject in this matter. She would have to marry out sooner or later. Although she also had shares in the Huo Corporation, she had no real power at all.
“It’s getting late, so I won’t keep you all for dinner. We’ll see you at the first birthday banquet.” Gu Qingyin looked around and asked with a smile, “Or do you want to wait for Huo Yunjing to come back and have a family dinner with us?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone stood up and said goodbye. Who wanted to eat with Huo Yunjing? They didn’t want to suffer from indigestion!
In less than ten minutes, everyone left, including Huo Yunli.
Gu Qingyin muttered, propping her cheek, “Is Huo Yunjing some kind of bogeyman? It’s just a meal, is it that scary?”
In the evening, when Huo Yunjing came back, Gu Qingyin told him about the Huo family’s visit during the day.
After listening, Huo Yunjing shook his head and said, “Let them send the gifts in from outside the door. There’s no need to come in at all. As for recognizing people…” He said lightly, “Watching videos and photos is also fine.”
Gu Qingyin was speechless, “How much do you dislike those people from the Huo family?”
Huo Yunjing shrugged, “Just some strangers with blood ties.”
The venue for the first birthday banquet was in one of the Huo family’s manors. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there was a large green grassland. The environment was very good. With a little decoration, it was like a fairyland. With the addition of children’s castles, slides, and cartoon dolls, the whole venue was as dreamy as a fairy tale world.
At ten o’clock in the morning, most of the guests had already arrived, and the gifts they brought were piled up into a small mountain on the grass. Looking around, in addition to the well-dressed men and women, the most attractive were the children of all sizes.
The younger children were laughing and playing happily on the grass, while the slightly older children gathered together in small groups, learning to socialize like adults.
At ten past ten, the protagonist of the first birthday banquet finally appeared.
Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing walked to the stage with the three children in their arms. Everyone looked over with kind smiles on their faces.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyin picked up the microphone and handed it to the mouth of the child in her arms. A milky and unhurried voice immediately spread throughout the audience, “Welcome everyone to attend the first birthday banquet of me and my younger brothers. I hope everyone has fun.”
The guests were in an uproar, all shocked. They praised Huo Yunjing for having successors, who could entertain guests at such a young age.
The people from the Huo family smiled modestly on the surface, but secretly exchanged glances. Especially those who had been to the old house that day, all muttered in their hearts, ‘Isn’t he quite talkative? Could it be that he just didn’t want to pay attention to them that day?’
After that, the host took the microphone and said a few warm-up words, and then began the most important item of the day ━ the ‘grasping week’ ceremony.
On the grass, red carpets were laid out to form three passages leading to the central ‘grasping week’ area. In addition to the items usually seen in the ‘grasping week’ ceremony, there were also keyboards, musical instruments and scores, pens, and… a yellow paper?
What is that?
Those who saw it were puzzled, but no one raised any objections. They had no right to speak here.
In fact, Huo Yunjing didn’t quite understand either, but he unconditionally supported everything his wife did. There must be a reason for his wife to do so.
As expected, Little Xingye chose the pen and book, Little Xinghai chose the musical instruments and scores, and Little Xingchen chose the keyboard and yellow paper.
Huo Yunjing’s eyes deepened when he saw this. He glanced at Gu Qingyin. The things she put in were too targeted. Could it be that she calculated it?
Gu Qingyin noticed his gaze, turned her head and smiled at him with her eyes curved.
Huo Yunjing couldn’t help but curl the corners of his lips. It should be calculated, right?
After the ‘grasping week’ ceremony, the host said a lot of auspicious words, and then guided the guests to the manor restaurant to take their seats. Next to the restaurant was the banquet hall, which had been decorated with wine and drinks, and a well-known orchestra in the industry had been specially hired to play music.
The adults toasted and danced, and the children were also having a great time.
The triplets were obviously more excited than usual. Gu Qingyin didn’t restrain them and let the paper figures take them to play.
Before long, terrified screams came from the swimming pool.
