Xiuxiu felt a little embarrassed.
However, as a married woman, she wasn't so shy that she couldn't say a word. She just felt that the relationship between the Lin and Hua families was somewhat awkward.
But she still pulled Lin Shuainian over.
"Yes, this is my husband, Lin Shuainian!"
Lin Shuainian didn't expect Xiuxiu to introduce him so generously. He quickly and earnestly said to Elder Hua, "Hello, Grandpa Hua, I am Lin Shuainian!"
"Haha, I know you, the eldest young master of the Lin family, right? Hehe, I heard that your business in the capital has grown quite large over the years. Most importantly... you are the successor of the Medicine King. Oh my, Xiuxiu has found a good man!"
Elder Hua praised Lin Shuainian.
Even the thick-skinned Lin Shuainian felt a bit embarrassed at this moment. He said to Elder Hua, "Hehe, Grandpa Hua, you flatter me. I'm just a man, there's nothing particularly good about me. My only merit is doting on my wife!"
"Haha, having just one merit like that is enough!" Elder Hua paused for a moment, then let out a hearty laugh at Lin Shuainian.
Xiuxiu's pretty face flushed red, and she playfully punched Lin Shuainian's shoulder. "You're annoying! Don't talk nonsense in front of elders!"
"Hehe, Xiuxiu, Shuainian isn't talking nonsense at all. Shuainian is truly the most doting husband I've ever met!"
Hua Yuxiao also did not spare any praise for Lin Shuainian at this moment.
Even Lin Siqi and the others nodded repeatedly.
For the first time, Xiuxiu realized that in others' eyes, Lin Shuainian was such a perfect husband!
Ling Feng also patted Lin Shuainian on the shoulder. "This kid is not bad. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let Xiuxiu be with him. Elder Hua can rest assured about this!"
"Haha, rest assured, we are definitely at ease!"
Elder Hua said with a face full of smiles.
As they spoke, they arrived at the Hua family's reception hall.
Hua Yuxiao's parents had passed away early, so most of the people gathered here were uncles, aunts, and some of the same generation.
A few cousins came out, and their relationship with Hua Yuxiao seemed to be quite good.
They exchanged pleasantries, and many people's gazes turned towards Ling Feng.
Ling Feng naturally couldn't eavesdrop on the girls' whispers, but judging by their expressions, he knew they were all discussing him.
Hua Yuxiao's pretty face turned completely red, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed by what they were saying.
But at this moment, a middle-aged man with graying temples beside Elder Hua walked over. "Dad, Hua Yuxiao hasn't been home for several years. If you calculate her age, she's already twenty-seven or twenty-eight, right? At this age, it's very rare for someone in our family not to be married. I know you doted on her because her elder brother and sister-in-law passed away early, but the gossip would be unpleasant. It was understandable when she wasn't home and was mingling in the capital, but now that she's back home, I think this matter should be arranged as soon as possible!"
The people around, who were initially chatting lively, were stunned by these words.
Hua Yuxiao blinked her beautiful eyes twice and quickly said, "Second Uncle, my marriage, I myself..."
"What do you want to say?"
Unexpectedly, the man Hua Yuxiao called Second Uncle turned to look at Hua Yuxiao with a very serious expression.
His name was Hua Chengfeng.
Hua Chengfeng was fifty-one years old this year and ranked second in the Hua family. If it weren't for the early death of Hua Yuxiao's parents, Hua Chengfeng wouldn't be bossing everyone around in the Hua family now.
But it had to be said that the deaths of Hua Yuxiao's parents had propelled Hua Chengfeng forward, significantly elevating his status and position within the family.
Now, Elder Hua rarely managed internal family affairs, only handling business matters. However, Hua Chengfeng served as the second-in-command in business.
Within the family, Hua Chengfeng basically had the final say.
It was precisely because of this that Hua Chengfeng had stepped forward to say such a thing just now!
"Hua Yuxiao, it was one thing for your grandfather to indulge you and let you act as you pleased. Now you are truly an adult. You did show some ability when you managed the company in Nanyun before, which was some of your merit. But times have changed, and you couldn't even manage in the capital. Bringing a group of people back, we in the Hua family won't say much. However, since you are still a member of the Hua family, you must obey the Hua family's arrangements!"
Hua Chengfeng's gaze was sharp, and with each word, he glanced at Ling Feng with clear displeasure.
It was obvious that Hua Chengfeng absolutely looked down on Ling Feng.
Of course, Ling Feng also saw through Hua Chengfeng's intention for appearing at this moment!
Ling Feng clearly remembered that when he first arrived in Nanyun, he quickly got to know Hua Yuxiao.
At that time, Hua Yuxiao wasn't as well-behaved as she was now.
Back then, Hua Yuxiao had the arrogance of a beautiful CEO. In fact, Hua Yuxiao truly held the reins of power in the company.
If Ling Feng hadn't appeared, perhaps the Hua family would still be under Hua Yuxiao's sole control, and no one else would have had a chance to speak.
Hua Yuxiao had given up everything for Ling Feng, and now the person with the most say in the Hua family had become Hua Chengfeng.
And Hua Chengfeng, upon Hua Yuxiao's return, naturally sensed a sense of crisis.
However, Hua Chengfeng also knew that Hua Yuxiao was just a woman, which was her weakness, and a woman who was no longer young. Therefore, Hua Chengfeng seized this point, intending to use it to kick Hua Yuxiao out of the Hua family!
Of course, before kicking Hua Yuxiao out of the Hua family, Hua Chengfeng also wanted to extract her final value!
"Chengfeng, you don't need to worry about this matter. Go sit aside. Yuxiao is back this time for the wedding arrangements!"
Elder Hua's expression turned grim, and he said coldly to Hua Chengfeng, his tone still carrying a sense of authority!
Hua Chengfeng couldn't help but frown slightly upon hearing this.
In front of all the family members, Hua Chengfeng naturally felt a bit humiliated. He bowed to Elder Hua and said, "Dad, I know you dote on her, but marriage is a matter of parental arrangement and a matchmaker's words. This is the rule of our large families. If these rules are broken, outsiders will laugh. I know you seem very satisfied with the man she found, but you probably don't know that upon hearing of Yuxiao's return, other outstanding young men have also come to the Hua family. If one is fancied today, they might directly propose!"
"What did you say?"
Elder Hua's eyes widened in disbelief. He truly hadn't expected Hua Chengfeng to arrange such a thing behind his back!
Hua Chengfeng shrugged indifferently and said, "Young Master Tan, please come in. I apologize for making you wait outside."
Instantly, all eyes turned towards the entrance.
Young Master Tan?
Who could that be?
