Mr. Fu, please stop being abusive. Madam has already signed the divorce papers.

Chapter 715: Announcing Mason's Identity

This is a fine product made by a modern inheritor of intangible cultural heritage. Even though it is a modern handicraft, it is worth a lot of money and is suitable for giving as a gift.

Just like those exquisite antique porcelains, they were not vulgar objects in ancient times.

Bella couldn't let go and stroked the smooth surface of the incense burner: "Fei, you really understand me!!"

"Compared to what you did for me, this is nothing." Wen Liang said softly, and handed over another smaller box, "Open this one and take a look."

Bella couldn't wait to open the second gift box, inside which were twelve exquisite small porcelain jars neatly arranged.

"This is..." She opened one of them, and immediately a refreshing scent of tea filled her face.

"Mingqian Longjing, a specialty of Jiangcheng." Wen Liang explained, "Each jar contains a different variety. You can taste them slowly."

Bella excitedly gave Wen Liang a bear hug: "I love it so much! Fei...thank you!"

"Why are you being polite? You've helped me so much, it's my duty."

After resting in the apartment, Wen Liang sent a message to Fu Zheng to check on him, called Lu Yao, and invited Bella to dinner.

……

Inside the Huo family mansion in Beijing, the spring sunset shines into the living room through the carved window lattices.

Huo Donglin has returned to school.

Lin Yinan and Wu Haoran’s wedding date is set for March 16th, which is less than half a month away.

Lin Jiamin began to arrange Lin Yinan's marriage in full swing, and maintained a brief peace with Xue Jun.

The housekeeper directed the servants to go in and out, and sorted and arranged the newly purchased wedding silks, wedding candies and other items.

Lin Jiamin stood in the middle of the living room, directing the servants to adjust the Chinese knot hanging on the crystal chandelier in the living room.

"A little higher on the left...yes, that's it."

Lin Jiamin caught a glimpse of Huo Dongcheng walking in, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face: "Dongcheng? Just got off work? Why are you here at this time?"

Huo Dongcheng took off his suit jacket and handed it to the servant: "I'm coming to the study to get a document."

He glanced over the festive decorations in the room and asked, "Where's the old man?"

"upstairs."

Huo Dongcheng went straight up.

Looking at his back, Lin Jiamin said, "Dongcheng, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? I'll ask the kitchen to make your favorite steamed sea bass."

"Okay, I'll trouble Aunt Lin." Huo Dongcheng responded and disappeared at the stairs.

In the study, Huo Junshan sat behind the rosewood desk and tapped the table with his fingers: "How is Mason recovering?"

"I can get out of bed and walk around now." Huo Dongcheng stood in front of the window, the setting sun making his profile particularly clear. "The doctor said I can be discharged next week."

Huo Junshan nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at his eldest son in front of him, "Dongcheng, you are not young anymore. The daughter of the old Li family just came back from abroad a few days ago..."

"Dad," Huo Dongcheng interrupted him, "When Mason recovers, I plan to hold a family dinner and officially announce his identity in front of relatives and friends."

Huo Junshan frowned: "You are not married yet, and if you suddenly have more illegitimate children, it will be bad for your reputation if it gets out."

He paused, "Besides, how are you going to introduce Mason's mother?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Wen Liang is Fu Zheng's ex-wife, and the relationship between Huo Dongcheng and Fu Zheng has also been exposed.

If it were to be revealed now that Wen Liang and Huo Dongcheng had a child that old, no matter what the truth was, the three of them would only become the laughing stock of others and the topic of discussion.

Huo Dongcheng: "It's very simple, just don't mention who Mason's biological mother is. Not many people know about it, and I have kept them all silent. As for my marriage, I have no plans to get married yet. Even if I do, I will tell people about Mason's existence in advance, otherwise it will not be a marriage but an enemy."

Huo Junshan looked at Huo Dongcheng and sighed helplessly.

Indeed, with Huo Dongcheng's looks, temperament, abilities, and family background, even if he has an illegitimate child, there is no shortage of women who like him.

The reason he is single until now is because he doesn't want to get married.

Now that I suddenly have a son, I don’t want to get married even more.

Huo Junshan was afraid that Huo Dongcheng still had feelings for Wen Liang and would cause trouble again, so he said, "I can promise you this, but you must listen to me and go on a blind date. If the girl doesn't mind Mason, you should get along well with her."

"...Okay." Huo Dongcheng replied.

Before dinner, Xue Jun came down from upstairs and caught a glimpse of Huo Dongcheng sitting beside the sofa, his face calm and expressionless.

Everyone was sitting at the dining table and was about to start eating when Huo Junshan received a phone call.

An old friend invited him out for a meal and drinks, and he couldn't refuse, so he stood up and said, "Don't worry about me, just eat."

Huo Dongcheng lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Lin Jiamin warned, "Don't drink too much."

"Ah."

Without Huo Junshan, the table suddenly became quiet and everyone ate in silence.

Only Lin Yiran and Lin Jiamin discussed the wedding. "...Haoran has already started working in the company, and Uncle Wu has hired a teacher for him."

"As long as he knows how to make progress, that's good. After you get married, you should live a good life with him," Lin Jiamin advised.

This niece caused her a lot of worry.

But who can blame her for being the only child left by her brother and sister-in-law?

Her brother and sister-in-law died because of her, and Yinuan grew up by her side, just like her own daughter. Now that Lin Yinuan is getting married, Lin Jiamin feels both relieved and reluctant.

Fortunately, the two families live not far from each other and are old friends, so they can visit each other often.

She sincerely hopes that Yinuan can live a happy life with Haoran.

"Of course," Lin Yiran glanced at Xue Jun, "Haoran is young and handsome, and considerate to me, so of course I will cherish him. For a sworn enemy like me, I have no choice but to marry an old man who can be her father."

Lin Yiran could say this, even if Huo Junshan knew about it, it would be the younger generation standing up for her aunt.

Lin Jiamin couldn't say anything, and Huo Dongcheng was still there.

She changed the subject, "How is your trousseau preparation going? Do you need anything else?"

"I'm almost ready, thank you aunt. The wedding is coming soon, I'm so looking forward to it. Unlike my sworn enemy, he didn't even have a wedding and just moved into someone else's house. How shameless."

Lin Jiamin: "..."

Xue Jun put down his chopsticks, got up and went upstairs.

Looking at her back, Lin Yiran raised her chin and snorted, "Aunt, don't worry about her, let's continue eating. Cousin, you too."

Less than two minutes later, Huo Dongcheng also put down his chopsticks, "I'm done, Aunt Lin, enjoy your meal."

After saying that, he also went upstairs.

Xue Jun returned to the room, calmly picked up his phone and started sending messages, not affected by Lin Yiran's words at all.

After a few minutes, I heard some noise on the terrace.

She put away her phone, stood up, walked over to open the door, and just in time saw Huo Dongcheng turning over.

Xue Jun tilted his head to look at him, raised his eyebrows with a smile, turned around and walked in.

Huo Dongcheng followed suit and closed the terrace door.
