Chapter 720: The invitation from the Huo family
In the end, the result of their discussion was that the engagement party was not a big one, but the necessary ceremony should be held.
He only invited a few people who were closer to him to have a meal together and bear witness.
They also briefly discussed the wedding.
Her master wanted to hold a grand wedding. However, Xing Jiu ‘an had been appearing on the internet all the time, which had a bad influence on her.
After all, Xing Jiu ‘an was a secret agent and had to carry out some secret missions. Too much exposure would be dangerous for her.
However, he could not let her suffer because of this.
Therefore, they decided to hold it on the island.
Xing Jiu ‘an and Lu zhichen had their own small islands. They were all holiday resorts with great scenery and residences.
However, they still had to think about the exact location.
The engagement date was finally set on May 1st, the day they first met.
Xing Jiu ‘an asked Lu zhichen in a low voice. She remembered that this was not the first time they had met.
Lu zhichen smiled gently.”It was when we first met when we were young.”
Xing Jiu ‘an blinked his eyes.”You remember it so clearly.”
Lu zhichen smiled but did not say anything.
Actually, besides Xing Jiu ‘an, many people knew about this date.
After all, he had stolen the young woman’s attention the moment he appeared.
However, he had received quite a bit of hate!
They had finished discussing the engagement date, but they still had a lot of things to do.
However, it was a little simpler than a wedding.
They were just looking for someone familiar with the place to have a meal with. Compared to a wedding, it was much simpler.
Actually, he could have done it earlier, but this time was more memorable.
Xing Jiu ‘an didn’t care about it. She didn’t care about it at all. The people she trusted were preparing for her engagement party. She didn’t know anything, so she didn’t want to mess things up.
After that day, Xing Jiu ‘an suddenly received an invitation from the Huo family.
It was an invitation from Grandpa Huo and grandma Huo. If they wanted to meet her, they didn’t have to come to the Huo family.
Xing Jiu ‘an hesitated for a long time, but he still agreed.
Lu zhichen wanted to go with her, but Xing Jiu ‘an refused.
In the end, Xing Jiu ‘an drove to the old house of the Huo family.
They were all waiting outside the door. When they saw the car coming, they were all very excited and nervous, but they were also careful not to get close.
Xing Jiu ‘an got out of the car.
The weather was still cold, so she was wearing an appropriate amount of clothes. It was Mu Qing’s request.
Mu Qing had always controlled her. For example, she had to wrap herself up tightly in winter and wear more clothes when it was slightly cold.
The girl’s hair had grown long. She had cut her hair once before, but it wasn’t too short. Now, it had grown a little longer. She tied it into a ponytail. It wasn’t long, but it looked clean and neat. It was very beautiful.
Some loose strands of hair on her forehead were blown by the wind, and she couldn’t help but touch them to stop them from dazzling her eyes.
Grandma Huo and Grandpa Huo had already arrived. They stood on either side of Xing Jiu ‘an, asking about his well – being and wanting to take her into the house.
After Xing Jiu ‘an called out to the two of them, he followed them in silence.
Mr. And Mrs. Huo, as well as Huo Qinyuan and Huo kuoqi, followed behind them carefully, not daring to get close.
Of course, they could see that Xing Jiu ‘an’s attitude toward the two old men was very good, but he treated them differently.
They didn’t blame Xing Jiu ‘an, but they didn’t dare to get too close either. They were afraid to see Xing Jiu’ an retreat, afraid to see her unhappy eyes, and even more afraid that Xing Jiu ‘an would turn around and leave directly.
She had already said that she didn’t want to come back.
Grandma Huo pulled Xing Jiu ‘an to sit on the sofa. The coffee table in front of them was almost filled with all kinds of snacks, drinks, fruit juices, and fruits.
They had also specially asked someone about Xing Jiu ‘an’s preferences.
Many people knew that Xing Jiu ‘an was a picky eater, but not many people knew what she liked.
She seemed to be able to eat everything except the ones she didn’t like. There didn’t seem to be anything she liked.
The Huo family was very careful with her. Grandpa and Grandma Huo were talking to Xing Jiu ‘an gently, while the others were looking at them eagerly.
The Huo family’s housekeeper and Auntie had been working here for a long time. They had been here even before Xing Jiu ‘an was born.
So, they had seen the Huo family suffer for so many years.
However, they were in no position to speak.
From Xing Jiu ‘an’s point of view, it seemed reasonable not to forgive him.
Just because her family believed the fortune-teller’s words, they were forced to “carry the wrong child” from birth. Also, because of the fortune-teller’s words, they didn’t see each other often when Xing Jiu ‘an was young. Therefore, they didn’t even know what kind of life the little girl lived.
Although there would be others to help take care of her, they were not family members. He did not know if they would secretly treat the little girl badly.
Later, Xing Jiu ‘an was abandoned by the couple in the wilderness.
Huo Yunqi had heard about it from Lin Yu and told the rest of the Huo family.
The little girl had been there for a long time, so hungry that she was even eating leaves. The roars of wild beasts could often be heard there.
Lin kui also said that if their master had not appeared in time, the little girl would have either starved to death or been eaten by wild beasts.
Just thinking about it made their hearts clench.
She was living well and remembering that matter would not be so easy to let go of.
The Huo family could compensate her, but Xing Jiu ‘an had more power and properties than the entire Huo family. It was not necessary to ask for any compensation.
Xing Jiu ‘an didn’t know what to say. Grandpa Huo and grandma Huo talked a lot, so she just listened quietly and didn’t say much.
The Huo family didn’t say why they were here, but it seemed like they just wanted to see her.
Xing Jiu ‘an hadn’t thought of how to face them yet.
She did not look at mother Huo or Huo Yunqi because the moment she saw them, she would be reminded of the scene of them dying in her dream.
Although she had those dreams, she still couldn’t let go.
Perhaps she was really a little petty.
However, she had also suffered before.
She could choose to forgive him, but she couldn’t convince herself to accept it.
It seemed that if he accepted them, all the suffering he had gone through, all the madness, stubbornness, and giving up in the past, would all be a joke that could be broken with a poke.
Their love for her was real.
It was also true that she had once lost everything in order to obtain this love.
In the end, she even paid with her life.
It didn’t matter who was right or wrong. It was possible that they met at the wrong time, didn’t meet the right person, and didn’t have the help of a noble. Everything could only be treated as a joke.
She hated this joke.
The past couldn’t be treated as a dream that didn’t exist. It was real. Xing Jiu ‘an had experienced it and died in real life. Blood flowed out of his body. The ground was cold, but her blood was warm.
It was like a fire was burning, and she was in so much pain that her whole body trembled.
