Huo Jiao was the one who took the initiative to speak up for Song Yunshu.

She held Song Yunshu’s arm enthusiastically and answered the Old Master Huo’s question for Song Yunshu.

However, Old Master Huo was very dissatisfied with his granddaughter’s initiative to interrupt.

“Am I talking to you?”

Although his words were not particularly harsh, they gave off a lot of pressure.

“What? Is my granddaughter-in-law a mute? Do you need to help her speak?”

Old Master Huo’s tone was very solemn.

Especially when that pair of turbid eyes landed on them, Song Yunshu felt a chill on her back. She felt as if her entire body was bound by a rope, and she couldn’t speak at all.

In contrast, Huo Jiao was not nervous at all, but she even had a smile on her face, as if she did not care about her grandfather’s anger at all.

“Grandpa, you’ll scare my sister-in-law if you’re so fierce. When big brother comes back later and finds out, he’ll be unhappy with you.”

Huo Jiao’s voice was sweet and coquettish.

Old Master Huo snorted indifferently.

It was obvious that he did not take Huo Jiao’s threat seriously at all.

Even the way he looked at Song Yunshu was not friendly at all.

He was not satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

Even if it was not Song Yunshu who had married into the family but the daughter of the An family.

His grandson should have a wife who came from a more perfect family background, someone who could help him and not like this orphan girl.

Furthermore, Old Master Huo looked down on the An family from the bottom of his heart.

However, for some reason, his son and daughter-in-law, who had been possessed, insisted on getting engaged to the An family.

He had thought that Huo Cen would reject the marriage himself, but who would have thought that this kid did not even mention anything about breaking off the engagement after he came back? Even after the An family’s daughter had done such a terrible thing the day before the wedding, he had no intention of rejecting the marriage when they proposed to change the bride.

He did not know what had bewitched the younger generation in the family.

Now, Song Yunshu, who was standing in front of him, he found her better than the girl from before.

However, when Old Master Huo thought of her background.

Old Master Huo could not help but sigh.

Huo Jiao looked at her grandfather’s expression and secretly reached out to hold Song Yunshu’s hand, gesturing for her to speak.

Song Yunshu was smart and perceptive. After she received Huo Jiao’s signal, she immediately spoke up.

“Grandfather, Huo Cen did go to work overtime today. Before I left, he called and said that he was on his way. He should be here soon.”

The coldness on Old Master Huo’s face instantly dissipated.

In his opinion, there was no way to change the background of his granddaughter-in-law. Moreover, this girl was already married to his grandson. Since she was the future mistress of the Huo Family, she had to keep up with the manners and etiquette. If she really could not keep up, he could only let her stay in the Huo Family for the next period of time. He would find someone to specially teach her.

However, it now seemed that his intervention was not really necessary.

As of now, as far as Song Yunshu’s performance was concerned, he was satisfied with it.

Tang Yucai glanced in the direction of her daughter and silently pulled her to her side. At the same time, she instructed the butler standing aside, “Huo Cen should be here soon. Lin, go and arrange the ceremonial items for later. Then, tell the kitchen to serve the meal in about half an hour.”

“Yes, Madam.”
