C696 Show off the He Family(part I)
3He Xueyun naturally came with Zhou Hao. That day, after Zhou Hao chased away the guards that He Hongsen had sent to find her.
He Xueyun knew that she would have to face He Hongsen sooner or later to explain the matter between her and Zhou Hao. She had long been mentally prepared, but she never thought that Zhou Hao would deliberately pick He Hongsen's birthday to come and pay a visit.
One should know that He Hongsen's birthday banquet this year had called all of his wives, concubines, and children back. Apart from that, all of the guests invited by the He Family were high-ranking officials.
In such an occasion, if Zhou Hao were to fight He Hongsen head on, there would be no room for negotiation between him and the He Family.
"Hao, why don't we find the sky and come again? Tonight is daddy's birthday banquet. When they arrived at the courtyard of the He Family's mansion, He Xueyun was still persuading Zhou Hao in the car.
Zhou Hao pinched her round chin and said with a smile, "We need to take advantage of the fact that everyone in the He Family is here to explain our matter clearly. Why? Are you afraid? This is different from the snow cloud I know. The snow cloud I know is very strong. "
He Xueyun rolled her eyes at Zhou Hao. At this moment, she had returned to her usual tranquil and calm temperament. At the same time, she said with some sadness, "You know, I'm still a little afraid of my father. I'm especially afraid that he will harm you. "
"After all, you just don't have confidence in me. Don't tell me that you don't feel safe by my side?"
Zhou Hao held her hand tightly. "Don't worry. It won't be easy for anyone to deal with me. "
"I don't care anymore. I'll listen to you. " He Xueyun smiled. She enjoyed the feeling of being protected.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Hao and He Xueyun walked towards the villa. Once they entered the hall, they saw that the people inside were carrying the two of them. Their gazes were very strange.
Especially when those people saw He Xueyun in a long white dress holding Zhou Hao's arm, their eyes became even stranger. Some people even looked at Zhou Hao and He Xueyun with gloating eyes.
The guests invited to He Hongsen's birthday banquet were all very rich. Apart from the government officials in Hong Kong and Macau, there were also very few wealthy people in Hong Kong and even Asia. Many wealthy families sent their children to congratulate He Hongsen even if their parents did not come.
Zhou Hao saw Li Yingjie, who he had seen at the Wireless Television Limited charity banquet, and also the eldest son of the Heng Ji Group's chairman, Li Zhaoji.
Among the few members of the wealthy families that Zhou Hao knew, he had a good impression of Li Yingjie. After all, Li Yingjie was much better than Xu Jinsheng, who was a spoiled brat.
Li Yingjie, who was dressed up, stood next to a tall young lady. That lady should be the daughter of that wealthy family, because her temperament was obviously different from those female celebrities.
When he saw Zhou Hao and He Xueyun coming together, Li Yingjie smiled at Zhou Hao from afar, and his eyes were faintly filled with admiration.
Everyone knew that He Xueyun was He Hongsen's daughter. Although she wasn't the daughter of the He Family's fourth family, and her status wasn't as high as the daughter of the fourth family, He Hongsen was famous for being strict with his children. He Xueyun and Xu Jinsheng had encountered such an incident.
Now that she had openly attended He Hongsen's birthday banquet with an unfamiliar man, it was easy to imagine how He Hongsen would react.
He Xueyun was He Hongsen's daughter after all. As for Zhou Hao, he was not a member of the He Family. Everyone could guess how He Hongsen would treat Zhou Hao. That was why Li Yingjie admired Zhou Hao. He even dared to kidnap He Hongsen's daughter.
He Hongsen was currently sitting in the inner hall with Lu Zhenwu. Although he was still talking and laughing with Lu Zhenwu, he had been unhappy ever since the servant came in and told him that He Xueyun was here.
He Hongsen's feelings towards He Xueyun, this daughter, were very complicated. It was not true that he did not love his own children. As the saying goes, a tiger does not eat its prey.
However, just as Zhou Hao had thought, the dozens of years of high and mighty life made He Hongsen's personality a little bit like those independent emperors in ancient times. He liked to control everything in his hands, including his own family. He did not like people and things that were not under his control.
When he asked He Xueyun to marry Xu Jinsheng, He Hongsen did want the Xu and Xu families to join hands and venture into the business world. However, he didn't completely ignore He Xueyun's lifelong happiness. It was because He Hongsen was too confident and firmly believed that the husband he had chosen for He Xueyun was the best.
Now that He Xueyun and Xu Jinsheng had gotten into this situation, He Hongsen did not reflect on his decision back then. Instead, he thought that it was Xu Jinsheng who was willing to fall into depravity.
And when He Xueyun decided to divorce Xu Jinsheng, He Hongsen also agreed in his heart. Because Xu Jinsheng was now infamous for his evil deeds. When He Xueyun divorced him, the people outside would not think that it was the He Family's fault.
He hated He Xueyun for not following his original decision and breaking up with the Xu Family peacefully after the storm subsided. Instead, she announced the news to the media without permission, making the He Family the center of public opinion.
Especially after Xu Jianming was injured and sent to the hospital, he immediately called He Hongsen to complain. He said that He Xueyun did not follow the wife's path and went straight to the wall. She even colluded with her husband to murder her husband and her family.
In He Hongsen's opinion, it was dissolute for a man to celebrate outside, but it was a sin for a woman to flirt outside.
That was why he didn't oppose his married sons from looking for women outside. As long as they didn't do anything shameful because of women, it would be fine.
However, it was different for his married daughters, so He Hongsen was very angry about He Xueyun having an affair. When the people he sent out returned in defeat and told him that He Xueyun's lover was not simple, the haze in He Hongsen's heart became even stronger.3
In the inner hall, other than Lu Zhenwu, Wei Qili, Xie Taiwang, and the other important guests as well as He Hongsen's close friends, the three wives of He Family and the fourth wife's son and son-in-law were present.
Although these twenty to thirty people were standing or sitting in different places, their attention was focused on He Hongsen who was in the middle.
"Master, Miss Xue Yun is here. " A servant respectfully said to He Hongsen.
Zhou Hao and He Xueyun appeared at the entrance of the inner hall. Zhou Hao was tall and handsome, and He Xueyun was also extremely beautiful. When the two of them appeared together, it felt like they were made by heaven, and they became the center of attention in the hall.
However, everyone in the He Family knew that Zhou Hao was He Xueyun's "lover. "
They did not know that He Hongsen's guard team had returned in defeat, nor did they know about Zhou Hao's background. Now that they saw Zhou Hao's handsome face, they had already regarded him as a pretty boy trying to climb up the social ladder of He Family.
However, they admired Zhou Hao's courage as a "pretty boy. " He actually dared to follow He Xueyun to see He Hongsen.
In the past, the Third Young Master of the He Family had brought a woman who was outside to see He Hongsen. He hoped that the He Family would acknowledge that woman's name, but he was chased away by He Hongsen.
After that, the woman left Hong Kong and Macau. The Third Young Master was also exiled to Myanmar to develop the market. He stayed there for three years before returning.
He Hongsen was really angry when he saw He Xueyun shamelessly bring Zhou Hao, the "lover," but in front of Lu Zhenwu, Wei Qili, and other guests, he did not want to make things difficult for her. He just looked at He Xueyun coldly with a dark face.
He Xueyun and Zhou Hao slowly walked in under the strange gazes of the people from He Family. This was the first time Zhou Hao saw He Xueyun's brothers and sisters. He felt sad for He Xueyun when he saw them waiting to watch a good show.
The familial love in this rich family was as thin as paper. In order to fight for power and profit, they had no scruples in trying to cheat each other. The act of kicking someone while they were down was even more ruthless than dealing with the enemy.
Sensing He Xueyun beside him feeling uneasy and uneasy, Zhou Hao gently patted her hand and gave her a warm look and smile.
He Xueyun, who was initially panicking, instantly calmed down. She only felt that with Zhou Hao, there was nothing to fear even if there was a sea of fire and a sea of fire in front of her.
When they finally arrived in front of He Hongsen, He Xueyun said softly, "Dad. "
Looking at He Xueyun, He Hongsen coldly snorted. "I don't deserve it. Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"
Zhou Hao didn't say anything to this "future father-in-law. " He just looked up and down at this gambling tycoon who was almost eighty years old but was still in a mess. He was the actual controller of Macau.
He Hongsen almost couldn't suppress the anger in his heart when he saw Zhou Hao's fearless and even somewhat mocking eyes. When did a young man dare to look at him in such an unbridled manner and look at him with contempt?
At the same time, Lu Zhenwu was looking at He Xueyun. From the beginning to the end, he had always been indifferent to He Hongsen, but now he rarely spoke. "Not a bad little girl. Mr. He has a good daughter. "
Lu Zhenwu's sudden words shocked He Hongsen and the others, because they had seen Lu Zhenwu, a silent general, with a very heavy pressure. Even if it was He Hongsen, he would not give face to him. He could only be polite to Wei Qili, who represented the Jamaican government.
Now that Lu Zhenwu had taken the initiative to say this, no one could guess what he meant.
He Hongsen rolled his eyes and smiled. "This is my unfilial daughter. General Lu, you must have laughed at her. "
Then he turned his head and scolded He Xueyun softly, "Why haven't you come over to see General Lu?"
He Xueyun immediately nodded to Lu Zhenwu and said respectfully, "General Lu, hello. "
Lu Zhenwu waved his hand and a kind smile appeared on his face. "You are welcome, little girl. You are the wife of Xu Jianming's family, right? I have heard about you. "
