Chapter 53 - 53 I See

53 I See

Gu Yao glanced at her stepmother and said, “But I heard that you’ve already chased Jian Xing’er out of the Hou family and that Jian Xing’er and Hou Junlai have divorced.”

Mrs. Hou immediately said, “It’s very normal for young people to quarrel. Jian Xing’er and Junlai are just in a fight. When they reconcile, they’ll naturally remarry.”

How could Mrs. Hou tell the truth?

The inner clan valued them so much now. If she told the truth, the inner clan would be as disdainful of Junlai’s family as before.

Gu Yao said, “I see!”

With that, Gu Yao went forward and held Mrs. Hou’s arm as she said with a smile, “You’re really lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. Let’s interact more in the future instead of being distant. No matter what, we’re from the same family, so we should have a good relationship. If there’s any trouble in the future, we can help each other, right?”

Mrs. Hou said smugly, “Cousin-in-law, you’re right. I think so too.”

Gu Yao was usually arrogant and couldn’t care less about Mrs. Hou.

Even if they bumped into each other, Gu Yao wouldn’t greet Mrs. Hou.

Now, Gu Yao’s attitude had completely changed.

Gu Yao said, “There will be a tea party at my house in a few days. You must come.”

Mrs. Hou immediately agreed.

Then, Gu Yao took the initiative to leave Mrs. Hou her contact number and added her on WeChat.

Mrs. Hou immediately felt very proud.

Hou Qiang said, “Sister-in-law, it’s a holiday today, so Jian Xing’er will come, right?”

Mrs. Hou immediately said, “She’ll definitely come. I asked Xiaoyu to pick Jian Xing’er up. She’ll be here soon. Although Jian Xing’er quarreled with Junlai, we’re still family. On such a festive occasion, Jian Xing’er will definitely spend the holidays with us.”

When Hou Qiang heard this, he decided to stay and meet Jian Xing’er.

Hou Qiang wanted to interact more and build a better relationship with Jian Xing’er.

Although the Hou family’s inner clan was considered a prominent clan, it was nothing compared to the Li family.

If he could build a good relationship with Jian Xing’er, he might be able to rely on the Li family. With the Li family as his backer, there would be endless benefits in the future.

Even if he couldn’t come into contact with the Li family, as long as he had a good relationship with Jian Xing’er, he could ask her for help if he encountered any difficulties in the future.

Anyone in the business world knew that connections were very important.

Mrs. Hou didn’t dare to delay and immediately invited the two of them into the house to serve them.

Mr. Hou was stunned when he saw Hou Qiang and Gu Yao.

This was the first time someone from the Hou clan’s inner clan had come to their house.

In the past, Mrs. Hou would invite them over every year, but they ignored her completely. However, now, they had taken the initiative to come over.

After chatting for a while, Mr. Hou went to look for Mrs. Hou, who was waiting for her at the door.

Mr. Hou asked, “What’s going on?”

Mrs. Hou said smugly, “They came for Jian Xing’er. I’ve never been so proud before. I’ve already thought about it. No matter what method I use, I have to get Jian Xing’er and Junlai to remarry. I won’t let anyone take my daughter-in-law away.”

Mrs. Hou paused for a moment before continuing, “Whenever I think about how I chased Jian Xing’er out previously, I regret it very much. Now, even the Hou family’s inner clan members have come to visit and are very polite to me.”

Mr. Hou understood what was going on.

Mr. Hou felt very proud too, but he wasn’t as obvious as Mrs. Hou. Mr. Hou was more reserved.

Of course, Mr. Hou didn’t want to lose a daughter-in-law like Jian Xing’er either.

Mr. Hou frowned and said, “I was afraid that Jian Xing’er wouldn’t come. At that time, you treated Jian Xing’er too badly and chased her out, so if I were Jian Xing’er, I wouldn’t come to the Hou family’s home again.”

Mrs. Hou said smugly, “Don’t worry, Jian Xing’er will definitely come back.”

Seeing how smug Mrs. Hou was, Mr. Hou couldn’t help but ask, “You’re so sure?”

Mrs. Hou glanced into the house and said, “Of course I’m sure! Don’t just stay here. Go in and greet them first. They’re important guests. We can’t neglect them.”

Mr. Hou nodded and walked into the house to serve Hou Qiang and Gu Yao.

Hou Qiang and Gu Yao didn’t put on airs at all. They seemed very easygoing.

Mr. Hou was unable to adapt to these changes for a moment.

After more than an hour, Mrs. Hou saw that Jian Xing’er had yet to arrive and was a little anxious, so she called Hou Xiaoyu directly.

When Hou Xiaoyu picked up the phone, Mrs. Hou immediately said, “Where are you guys? Is Jian Xing’er coming?”

Hou Xiaoyu quickly took the phone and said, “I’ll be there in a few minutes.”

Upon hearing her daughter’s words, Mrs. Hou hung up in relief.

At this moment, Junlai drove home.

Seeing his mother standing at the door, Junlai asked in confusion, “Mom, why are you standing at the door?”
