Chapter 134 Huo Xiuxiu's Visit
"It's quite lively here?" A female voice came from the gate of the courtyard.
Huo Xiuxiu walked into the yard from outside and saw Hei Xiazi lying on the ground with a bruised face and a pile of mud. "Hei Ye, who beat him? He looks miserable."
"I," Jiang Shen glanced at Huo Xiuxiu who came in,
"Is there something wrong?" Xie Yuchen looked at Huo Xiuxiu.
"Brother Xiaohua, why can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Huo Xiuxiu sat on the stool.
"Yes," Xie Yuchen said with a smile, "Tell me, what do you want to see me about?"
Huo Xiuxiu: "Brother Xiaohua, can't you let me keep it a secret for a while?"
"My guess is that he's here to deliver an invitation," Jiang Shen took a bite of the roast duck roll.
"How did you know?" Huo Xiuxiu looked at Jiang Shen, her eyes slightly widened. She hadn't said it yet! Didn't this guy say he couldn't tell fortunes?
Jiang Shen: "A corner of the invitation card in your bag is sticking out. I'm not blind."
Huo Xiuxiu: ...
Ye Yu: [The host's words left the young lady speechless!]
Lu Bu: [But the girls of the Huo family are truly beautiful. Even the older Huo Xiangu has that aura that no one else can imitate!]
"It seems like there haven't been any happy events in your family recently?" Xie Yuchen thought for a moment. Mrs. Huo's birthday wasn't around this time, was it? As for having a new baby, that was even less likely. Although Mrs. Huo's oldest grandchild was already married, it probably wouldn't be that soon, right?
"Grandma specially organized this banquet to improve the relationship between our partners. The Jie family and the Huo family also have business cooperation, so she asked me to come and deliver the invitations." Huo Xiuxiu said.
"That's the apparent reason, but isn't that the real reason?" Jiang Shen keenly sensed a loophole. The Jie and Huo families were both one of the Nine Gates. If they really wanted to build closer ties, there was no need for a cocktail party, right? Couldn't they just collaborate more? "Old Madam Huo has her eyes on that human skin map I pulled out of the tomb, right?"
Jiang Shen stared at Huo Xiu Xiu intently. The Huo family must not get involved again, otherwise, his share might be even less!
"Xiu Xiu, tell the truth," Xie Yuchen said with a smile, but this smile looked dangerous no matter how you looked at it.
"I really don't know," Huo Xiuxiu was also confused. What human skin picture? Grandma really didn't tell her about this!
Jiang Shen glanced at the bewildered expression on Huo Xiuxiu's face. "Well, I've confirmed her expression, Boss. She doesn't know! We can be sure that this is the Huo family's old lady's unilateral idea!"
"Tell Granny Huo that I will be there when the time comes." Xie Yuchen said,
Jiang Shen: ??? This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet, why would I even go?
Jiulou: [Hua Ye's words completely confused the host!]
Feng Canhua Se and Jun Feng: [But I'm just curious, does Old Madam Huo really want Huo Xiuxiu to take over the Huo family?]
"Okay," Huo Xiuxiu said, then looked at Jiang Shen, "You are a hot commodity in the eyes of the girls of the Huo family. Everyone wants to take a bite!"
A huge question mark popped up in Jiang Shen's head. "Are you serious? I'm not even 20 yet, and the legal marriage age for men is 22. Doesn't this seem illegal?"
"Do the people of Jiumen still lack these two things?" Huo Xiuxiu propped up her chin and looked at Jiang Shen. This was what they called a pure and innocent man, but it was a pity that he was not the type she liked.
Jiang Shen looked at Huo Xiuxiu's eyes and felt his scalp tingling. He quickly came up with a clever idea: "I like men!"
When Huo Xiuxiu heard this, she said casually, "It's okay, the boys in the Huo family are pretty good-looking too!"
Xie Yuchen helplessly held her forehead, "Xiu Xiu, what are you talking about? You're a girl, please behave like a lady from a noble family!"
When Huo Xiuxiu heard Jie Yuchen's words, she subconsciously looked over, then glanced at Jiang Shen again. Then, Huo Xiuxiu looked between the two of them for a while with an indescribable look in her eyes.
"I understand~" Huo Xiu Xiu had a look of being shocked, her fujoshi soul was burning fiercely.
"Boss, this guy's brain is no longer useful. Just dig it out and throw it away!" Jiang Shen said expressionlessly.
Ying Xingxing: [What the host said is wrong, isn't it? It was clearly the host who said it first?]
Yingying Pillowside Sugar: [I suspect the host was quick-witted, but this intelligence is the kind of stupid intelligence.]
Luo Lao Da, who loves steamed cakes: [Upstairs, be careful with your words! The host might bite you if he gets angry!]
Yan Le: [Don't worry, the anchor won't be able to touch him. He's in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Of course, unless the anchor wants to take on another mission in the Immortal Cultivation Realm after completing this one, then just ignore what I said.]
Crazy girl who loves sweet and sour food: [That probably won't happen. The anchor will retire after this job.]
"What do you mean you can't have my brain anymore? It was you who said you liked men first, and since Brother Xiaohua is so handsome, I started to think the wrong way!" Huo Xiuxiu stood up in a flash. After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to add, "If you like Brother Xiaohua, I don't mind having another sister-in-law."
Jiang Shen: ...I'm tired, let's destroy it!
Jiangnanyu Y: [Host, I suggest you explain this clearly as soon as possible. If you don't explain it now, you won't be able to explain it clearly once Huo Xiuxiu leaves this room!]
Yun Man Wan Feng: [That's right, by then all sorts of unpleasant things will come out! But there might even be someone who comes to eat melons.]
He Yao: [Yin Nanfeng?]
Xinghe Qiuwan: [Well, I'm a veteran fujoshi, and I finally found a real couple, can I let them go?]
"Brother Xiaohua, if everything is fine, I'll leave first," Huo Xiuxiu turned and left. This was a big piece of news that she couldn't miss, and she had to hurry to share it with her sisters.
Before Huo Xiuxiu could even take a step forward, Jiang Shending pinned her in place, unable to move.
"Ms. Huo," Jiang Shen chose to suppress with force between explanation and force. After all, force is easier.
Jiang Shen carried an RPG on his shoulder and aimed it directly at Huo Xiuxiu's head.
"First of all, I don't like men, and I don't like women either. Secondly, I hope you don't say anything you shouldn't say when you go back. If I hear anything, I'll just fire the RPG at your grandma. You can try and see who's more lucky, your grandma or my RPG."
"Brother Xiaohua," Huo Xiuxiu looked at Jie Yuchen with a look of help.
"Don't look at me. Do I look like I can control him?" Xie Yuchen turned his head away. He absolutely couldn't let Huo Xiu Xiu talk nonsense outside, otherwise, his reputation as the Little Nine Master would be ruined!
"If you insist on talking, that's fine," Jiang Shen said as he took out two AKs and placed them in front of Huo Xiuxiu. "If you let me shoot you full of bullets and you're still alive, you can say whatever you want outside, even accuse me and Hua Ye of humiliation!"
Huo Xiuxiu: ...
"I promise that I will forget what happened today as soon as I leave the house and won't say a word!" If Huo Xiu Xiu hadn't been fixed in place and unable to move, she would have raised three fingers and pointed to the sky to swear.
"Okay," Jiang Shen ripped the talisman off Huo Xiuxiu's body, "You can go now!"
"No, you let me go so easily? Aren't you afraid that I'll tell lies when I get back?" Huo Xiuxiu was a little surprised.
Jiang Shen: "I also have a talisman that can bring bad luck to people. You are young and strong, so it's okay. At most, you will be slightly injured. Don't forget that Mrs. Huo is old."
Huo Xiuxiu: ...
Traveler Shiyi: [The host is still the same as before, able to accurately grasp the characters!]
The one favored by the gods: [Host, if Huo Xiangu dies one day, will you help Huo Xiuxiu secure the Huo family?]
Jiang Shen: [No, she is not within my scope of responsibility!]
May Xiuxiu live a life without worries: [What if we pay more?]
Jiang Shen: [In a year at most, Xie Yuchen will be able to completely control the Xie family. With Xie Yuchen around, it's only a matter of time before Huo Xiuxiu secures her position as the head of the Huo family. You all really don't need to worry!]
Chen Mutou, who likes squid: [But, this will make Hua Ye very tired!]
Jiang Shen: [Don't I get tired? In your eyes, am I just a donkey in the production team?]
S·Liaowu·S: [Aren’t you?]
Jiang Shen: It hurts!
