"What kind of trouble?" asked the old Master Huo.
Huo Xiao replied, "Uncle's wife's background, Grandpa. I'm not looking down on her background. It's just that her background might limit her past social interactions and vision. No matter how outstanding she is at work, as a president's secretary, she's certainly qualified. But as the wife of the Huo family..."
"Grandpa, in the future, Uncle's wife will surely interact with other families as the wife of the Huo family. So, shouldn't she learn more about some things? For example, the connections of various families, the luxury brands commonly used in our circle, and the procedures of banquets and auctions."
Hearing this, the old Master Huo fell into deep thought.
The old Master Huo wasn't completely oblivious to Huo Xiao's hidden agenda, but what she said hit the nail on the head.
After pondering for a while, the old Master Huo asked Huo Xiao, "What's your suggestion?"
"Since Uncle's wife and Uncle have already gotten married, how about Uncle's wife move back to the old mansion? Grandpa can find some people to teach her these things. I believe with Uncle's wife's ability, she can master them quickly." Huo Xiao smiled sweetly. Her acting skills reached their peak at this moment.
The old Master Huo didn't reply immediately.
Huo Xiao pressed on, "In the future, Uncle's wife can't avoid the social activities of the family. If she doesn't learn, it's not appropriate for Mom to handle these things forever."
The old Master Huo was indeed a bit convinced.
His gaze fell on Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan's heart skipped a beat.
She really didn't expect that Huo Xiao had become smarter and would start from this aspect.
Although the Huo family was powerful, the diplomacy of the wife was still necessary. She didn't need to curry favor with others, but the Huo family needed someone to host charity dinners and attend banquets in the name of the Huo family. Huo Linsheng was busy with the company, and sometimes his wife needed to cooperate.
Ling Nuan was indeed not very familiar with this aspect. Huo Xiao's suggestion was reasonable, and to a certain extent, it seemed completely beneficial to Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan couldn't just let this happen.
Before the old Master made a decision, she smiled first and said, "Isn't it a bit too early?"
"Linsheng and I just got our marriage certificates. There may be many things to do next." Ling Nuan showed a shy look appropriately. "I want to participate in the design of our wedding personally. And there are still some unfinished work in the company. I'm afraid it's not suitable for the time being. How about waiting for some time? This matter isn't urgent."
After she solved the matter of Qing Nuan, it wouldn't be a problem for her to return to the Huo family to receive training on the so - called wife diplomacy.
What Ling Nuan wanted to do was to delay time.
Hearing this, Huo Xiao got anxious.
If she gave Ling Nuan time, who knew what would happen during this period?
"Grandpa, we should prioritize things. Uncle's wife is really excellent, but the position of the president's secretary isn't exclusive to her. However, the identity of the wife of the Huo family belongs only to her." Huo Xiao said sincerely.
"Moreover, the company is so busy. Uncle is busy, and Uncle's wife is also busy. Where do they have time to think about other things? Don't even mention preparing for the wedding. When they're together, it's all about work in the company, and even after work at home, they probably still talk about work."
This sentence made the old Master Huo waver again.
As people got older, they wanted to see their descendants get married and have children.
If they were all busy with work, where would his grandchildren come from?
Seeing that the old Master was a bit loose, Huo Xiao pressed on, "I think it's just right for Uncle's wife to move back to the old mansion. It's just about learning some knowledge. How busy can it be? Uncle's wife can also have time to arrange the wedding, take care of Uncle, and let Aunt Wang cook some delicious food for her to take good care of her body."
Ling Nuan felt annoyed.
She didn't think of this aspect, nor did she expect that Huo Xiao would suddenly be so smart.
"I've been involved in a lot of work. It will definitely cause some trouble if I suddenly hand it over to someone else." Ling Nuan said. "We should prioritize things, but this matter doesn't seem to be so urgent."
Ling Nuan smiled helplessly. "Moreover, I've been busy with work all the time. It's hard for me to adapt if I suddenly change. How about after I finish the project at hand?"
Huo Xiao pretended to be considerate of Ling Nuan, and Ling Nuan didn't explicitly refuse. She mainly focused on stalling for time.
Both of them had their own justifications, but neither was willing to give in.
The old Master Huo really had a hard time making a decision.
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind. So he simply looked at Huo Linsheng, who had been silent all the time.
"Linsheng, what's your opinion on this matter?" the old Master Huo asked.
Hearing this, Ling Nuan immediately looked at Huo Linsheng.
As long as Huo Linsheng stood by her side, this matter could be easily resolved. In the past, Huo Linsheng would surely protect her.
She thought Huo Linsheng should help her, but the cold war in the past few days made her a bit unsure. At this moment, she looked at him full of expectation.
Huo Linsheng didn't speak immediately.
He was also thinking.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the old Master Huo urged, "Linsheng, tell us your opinion. Ling Nuan is your wife after all. This can be regarded as a matter between you two."
Huo Linsheng raised his eyes.
Huo Linsheng could roughly tell what Huo Xiao was up to, and he also knew what Ling Nuan was anxious about.
He also clearly knew what was important to Ling Nuan. In this matter, he...
"Grandpa, this matter should follow the person's own will, right?" Shen Shaoqing suddenly said.
This remark immediately made the atmosphere in the living room stiffen.
Huo Xiao angrily looked at Shen Shaoqing, dissatisfied with his betrayal at this moment.
Ling Nuan also looked at Shen Shaoqing, her pupils shocked. But she didn't show any happy emotions. On the contrary, she was panicked and uneasy, especially when she saw Huo Linsheng's slightly gloomy expression at this moment.
Shen Shaoqing seemed completely unaware that his words would bring trouble to Ling Nuan.
He wanted to speak up for Ling Nuan.
"Everyone has different pursuits. Aunt entered the company and gradually gained recognition step by step, so she could get involved in important projects of the Huo family. She has devoted a lot of effort to this. It's a bit inhumane to ask her to give it up at this time. At least, she should be allowed to finish the project at hand." Shen Shaoqing said.
What he said was fair.
If one ignored the fact that he and Ling Nuan had dated before, the old Master Huo did take his words into consideration to some extent.
The old Master listened, but Huo Linsheng couldn't ignore the premise.
If it weren't for the old Master being there, Huo Linsheng would have wanted to ask, what's going on? Were they still planning to have an affair under his nose?
Huo Linsheng hated Shen Shaoqing extremely.
At this moment, he was even more resistant to the fact that Ling Nuan needed to contact Shen Shaoqing. Especially when Shen Shaoqing was still looking at Ling Nuan secretly and subtly.
What she wanted, he could help her achieve, but she must draw a clear line from Shen Shaoqing!
"Let someone else take over the work in the company." Huo Linsheng said.
Although Ling Nuan had already anticipated this, when she really heard the answer, she still looked at Huo Linsheng in disbelief.
Huo Linsheng also turned his head and met Ling Nuan's gaze. "You move back to the old mansion. There are indeed some things you should learn."
At that moment, Ling Nuan seemed to see a corner of her world collapsing.
