Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 394 - 395: Zhang Yanlin’s Explanation
Chapter 394: Chapter 395: Zhang Yanlin’s Explanation
Zhang Zhiguo’s face reached the pinnacle of embarrassment, his father’s words completely contradicting what his mother had said back then.
Ma Suqin watched the father and son duo with a mocking gaze from the side.
Zhang Zhiguo felt there was no place to hide his face and wished he could immediately escape.
He felt that at this moment, he was like an illegitimate child.
Staring at Zhang Yanlin, Zhang Zhiguo’s chest filled with nothing but rage, he glared at Zhang Yanlin and demanded, "Didn’t you say you and my mom were in love, and it was Zhou Yuelian who broke you up?
Now how has it changed to my mom seducing you—do you dare to swear to heaven?" ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Zhang Yanlin had been maintaining a smile for Ma Suqin and himself as a couple, but he didn’t anticipate being embarrassed by his own son; his face instantly turned a mixture of green and red, "Zhiguo, shut your mouth.
It’s not your place to speak when the adults are talking. If you can’t stand being here, then go home."
A flash of hatred and annoyance crossed Zhang Zhiguo’s face; he glanced at Huo Chen’s retreating figure, finding it particularly irritating, and turned to leave huffily.
Zhang Yanlin faced Liu Tianjun and his wife with an embarrassed expression and a sense of guilt, "The affairs of the past were indeed like this."
Ma Suqin was still doubtful but stopped talking and turned to head into the kitchen to prepare food.
With the arrival of Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou’s grandson, naturally, she wanted to entertain him properly.
"Auntie, let me help you," Xu Ying stood up and offered.
Ma Suqin immediately refused with a smile, "You’re pregnant, how can you do any work? Just rest well."
After saying this, she entered the kitchen.
Liu Tianjun had an endless stream of questions as he looked at Huo Chen, "How have you survived all these years? Was there someone who took you in?"
Huo Chen nodded and began to recount his past while sitting on the couch.
After hearing how Huo Chen was raised by a female wolf until he was three, followed by an old lady who took him in,
Liu Tianjun had a look of shock on his face, as if listening to a story; he couldn’t imagine how a wolf could raise a child to three years of age.
And without causing any harm to the child.
Zhang Yanlin listened with a shiver running down his spine. How could a wolf possibly raise Huo Chen? It couldn’t be that Zhou Yuelian wasn’t dead.
He sat in his chair, restless.
Liu Tianjun looked at Huo Chen with a sympathetic face, "Poor child, you’ve suffered so much since childhood. The most important thing for us as humans is to be grateful.
You must not forget your Granny Huo and the wolf that raised you; you must treat them well."
Huo Chen nodded immediately, "In a while, I plan to bring Granny Huo and Old Hui over to Beijing."
Old Hui and Granny Huo were both getting on in years and could have problems at any time. He would feel more at ease having them nearby.
Liu Tianjun nodded, "What are you doing in Beijing now? If you need anything, just speak up. Your Uncle Liu will definitely help you if he can."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanlin’s eyes lit up mischievously. Yuhua had recently discussed with him the idea of having their younger son leave the military and go into politics.
Being a soldier was prestigious but also dangerous, and he was unwilling to see his son take risks.
If he could have Liu Tianjun’s help, then his younger son’s affairs would be much easier to handle.
He was just about to speak.
But Huo Chen smiled and declined, "I’ve opened a few shops in Beijing on my own, and things are going pretty well for now, thanks for the offer, Uncle Liu."
Hearing that he now ran his own businesses, Liu Tianjun was full of praise, "The Zhou family members indeed have a knack for business."
Huo Chen shook his head and looked at Xu Ying, "Mainly because of my wife’s help, she helped me develop the food products, and only then has my business done so well.
These years, I’ve really relied on my wife’s help, otherwise, I wouldn’t be here today."
Liu Tianjun looked at Xu Ying with added respect in his eyes.
When he first came back, he saw Xu Ying and thought she looked familiar, but couldn’t remember where he had seen her before.
In his eyes, this girl was beautiful, and it was no wonder men liked beauty, nor was it strange that the lad fancied her.
But now, hearing Huo Chen’s words, he realized this girl was quite impressive.
He couldn’t help but ask curiously, "Miss, what did you do before?"
Xu Ying, who was sitting on the sofa eating fruit, paused for a moment then quickly replied, "I worked at our county’s food factory and textile factory."
Liu Tianjun looked amazed, "You worked at both factories?"
Xu Ying nodded.
He was full of suspicion and was about to ask another question, but then a light bulb went off in his head, and he looked at Xu Ying in disbelief, "You’re the head of R&D at the food factory?"
Xu Ying smiled modestly, "I didn’t expect Uncle Liu to know about me."
Liu Tianjun’s perspective on Xu Ying completely shifted in that moment, with not just surprise but also admiration; this girl’s feat last year was nothing short of legendary.
She directly shattered Huaxia’s record for earning the most foreign currency in a single event in their diplomatic exchange history.
Not only that, but in the past Huaxia had begged Granny Huo to tell Grandpa Zhou and still couldn’t get those foreign guests to participate in their diplomatic events.
Because of this girl, not only was this year’s diplomatic exchange quota settled, but there were also many additional friends from other places.
Even the international diplomatic exchange this time had invited them from Huaxia to participate.
Such unprecedented treatment—all thanks to this girl, who brought them so many benefits, now who wouldn’t know about her.
"You brought such high performance to our diplomatic exchange last year, who wouldn’t know the name of Minister Xu," he said, turning to look at Huo Chen with envy, "You lad, have really good taste.
Such an outstanding wife and you married her. If everyone knew that Minister Xu got married, and is even pregnant, I guess many talented young men would be heartbroken."
Huo Chen’s face beamed with pride, his serious affection was not concealed at all, "Isn’t it because of good taste that I could marry Yingying as my wife."
Xu Ying was made somewhat bashful by his loving gaze, and a blush crept up her face.
Ma Suqin, carrying the food, came over, looking at the couple with envy, "Look how nice it is to be young, Huo Chen has nothing but love for Yingying in his eyes."
At these words, Xu Ying blushed even more.
Zhang Yanlin stood by, watching their harmonious interaction with particular displeasure.
He got up to help Ma Suqin with the food but was refused, "The food is already prepared, go wash your hands for dinner."
Zhang Yanlin nodded.
As everyone had just settled down, the door opened and Liu Huiran entered, smiling brightly, "Mom, there are so many people at home."
"Huiran, come here quickly, let me introduce you, this is your Grandpa Zhou’s grandson from outside, a year older than you.
You can just call him brother, this is your sister-in-law." Ma Suqin, seeing the joy on her daughter’s face, pulled her daughter to the dining table and introduced her.
Liu Huiran turned to Huo Chen and greeted him, and as she turned to Xu Ying, her face lit up with surprise, "Sister-in-law, oh, aren’t you that Minister Xu?"
Liu Huiran looked at Xu Ying with a fan-like adoration, "I can’t believe you are my sister-in-law, my goodness."
Xu Ying, feeling embarrassed by her reaction, kept a smile on her face as she watched the girl hold her hands tightly, refusing to let go.
Ma Suqin snapped out of it and glared at her daughter, speaking in a tone of annoyance, "What are you doing, will you let her eat or not?"
