Dressed as a cannon fodder, her mother became popular in variety shows

Chapter 55
Ji Anzhi is a very principled person, she doesn't like to confuse work with private life.

She took a sip of the red wine to save face, and then let the younger brother who was following the filming leave first.

He solemnly said to Huo Wanjun:
"Actually, I don't really like to show off my love life in a high-profile way. Happiness doesn't have to be seen by others, it just needs to be experienced by oneself."

Huo Wanjun's originally happy face was slightly dull.

Perhaps because he is used to being self-centered, Huo Wanjun doesn't think much about other people's feelings.

But Ji Anzhi is no one else, and no one can force her to do what she doesn't want.

The atmosphere between the two was a bit strange for a moment, when Huo Nanchen came over with a smile on his face, he joked unknowingly:
"Tsk tsk tsk~ The only uncle who can take advantage of my position for personal gain is my aunt."

His interrupting like this eased the delicate atmosphere between the two of them.

Huo Wanjun said with a half-smile:
"You boy, don't make fun of me. Your parents are also stopping by. Let's have dinner together at noon tomorrow."

After saying this, he looked at Ji Anzhi again, and explained with some caution:
"My elder brother and sister-in-law know about you and Mingmei, and they want to come and see you. Would you like to meet them?"

Huo Nanchen also looked at her expectantly, and said with a promise:
"Auntie, don't worry. Although my parents are a bit nagging when they are old, they are sincerely good to the family. You should agree to have a meal together."

Ji Anzhi knew Huo Wanjun's life experience. His mother was Mr. Huo's second wife, so he and the brothers above were not born by the same mother.

But the relationship with his elder brother has always been good, no matter what, he is Mingmei's uncle, and it is necessary to meet him.

Ji Anzhi smiled and nodded in agreement. Huo Wanjun and Huo Nanchen were very happy to see this.

"Then I won't disturb your meal, I'll greet the guests first."

As soon as Huo Nanchen left, Huo Wanjun put a piece of meat in her bowl, and said gently:
"I made a video with Mingmei yesterday. The little girl has lost a lot of weight, but her spirit is not bad. It can be seen that she still likes acting."

Speaking of his daughter, Ji Anzhi's eyes softened a lot, and he said with a smile:
"She is doing what she likes, and it's nothing to be a little bit tired."

Huo Wanjun nodded, he also knew in his heart that some things can be vague, but some things are not.

Glancing at Ji An, seeing her calm face, she said seriously:
"It's all my fault, and it's also because I thought wrong before. I thought you were willing to disclose our relationship, so you came to the program without your consent."

Hearing this, Ji Anzhi put down his chopsticks, looked into his eyes, and said seriously:
"Public relationship and showing affection in front of the camera are two different concepts. After all, we are not married. It is a shame for me to conceive without marriage. Under such a premise, we are still showing how affectionate we are in front of the public. Don't you think Do you humiliate yourself?"

Huo Wanjun's heart ached, he couldn't tell what it was like, it turned out that all the wounds were still there.

He lowered his head, held her hand as if showing weakness, and said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry, whether I did it intentionally or not, the harm to you has already been done, and I'm willing to respect your wishes."

Ji Anzhi patted the back of his hand, facing this man, Ji Anzhi would always be more tolerant in his heart.

"Okay, after dinner, you can go to accompany your eldest brother and sister-in-law. I will go there with Nan Chen tomorrow."

Huo Wanjun nodded. He originally wanted to live here, and Director Zhang also reserved a room for him. Now it seems that it is impossible.

The two ate quietly, and no one knew until some conflicts broke out. Once they broke out, they always felt that something was separated. Huo Wanjun didn't like this kind of alienation, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

Ding Jie held the tray and saw Ji Anzhi's table from a distance.

Before coming here, she also got words from Mi Jiaxing, so she naturally knew Huo Wanjun's identity.

The person in charge of the Huo family in the Hong Kong city, no matter in terms of wealth or appearance, is worth dozens of blocks away from Mi Jia, and what is even more valuable is that he is still single.

Her eyes were full of ambition, she wished she could pull Ji Anzhi away and sit opposite him.

Xu Yifei just finished greeting the guests, turned around and found Ding Jie's cannibalistic eyes.

Walked over silently, followed her eyes to see Ji Anzhi's table, and sarcastically said:
"Quickly put away your greed. Do you think Huo is always someone you can think of? Apart from being a little younger than Ji Anzhi, what else can you compare to him? Young girls don't learn well , still thinking about other people's men."

When Ding Jie was told by her, she suddenly came back to her senses. She put away the expression on her face and said nonchalantly:
"Xu Yinghou probably thinks too much. I just want to know what the rich and powerful people look like. Only people who are dirty in their own hearts will think dirty about others."

Xu Yifei was overwhelmed by her words, and said in disgust:
"You don't have to be quick with your tongue here. You know what you think, and you don't take a piss to take care of yourself. You are not worthy of carrying shoes for others."

Ding Jie was not angry, but with a weird smile on her face, she said nonchalantly:
"I don't want to carry shoes for others. If you want you to go, don't worry about me. Someone is already fascinated by me."

The appearance of what she said made Xu Yifei suspicious. Before she could think about it, a customer called the waiter over there, and she hurried over.

Ding Jie was left alone with a mocking smile.

By the time all the guests were greeted, it was already very late. After clearing the table, everyone was too tired to move.

Huo Wanjun had also left. Director Zhang keenly sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and apologized to Ji Anzhi tactfully.

Ji Anzhi didn't have the mentality of venting his anger on others, but just told him that it was fine not to let her personal relationship problems appear in front of the camera.

She said so, so naturally Zhang Haimin would not take it upon himself to post the video of the two of them having dinner together.

That night, one of the staff who was honored to go to the hospital with him came back and said that the operation was very successful.

But Xingxing's physical condition is not very good, so he has to stay in the hospital for an injection, and needs to be observed for one night.

Everyone is fine, and everyone is relieved.

In the morning of the next day, Huo Nanchen and Ji Anzhi drove to the city together, and they were still responsible for the food shopping. They thought that they would buy some food first, and then eat, so that the business of the farmhouse would not be delayed.

After arriving at the local hotel, they quickly met the Huo family.

Huo Wanjun's elder brother, Huo Wancheng, looks elegant and easy-going. Although the two are not from the same mother, they look similar, and they probably follow their father's appearance.

Sister-in-law Cheng Zijuan was wearing a cheongsam with her hair tied up, looking very dignified and elegant.

Seeing the joy in Huo Nanchen's eyes, the two of them, Cheng Zijuan patted her son on the back, and said angrily:
"You don't know to come back once you go out. If we don't come to see you, don't you know to visit us? We gave birth to a son, and didn't we raise a piece of char siew."

Huo Nanchen also knew that he hadn't gone back for a long time, so he said apologetically:
"Mom and Dad, it's all my fault. There are too many major announcements, and I'm too busy. When the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, I will definitely go back and spend some time with you."

Cheng Zijuan said unhappily: "The Mid-Autumn Festival is still more than a month away. You don't find a girl to start a family, and you don't stay at home all day. If this continues, I won't let you get involved in the entertainment industry."

Her words were full of displeasure. To her, her son disregarded the family's business and instead made a living in the entertainment industry, which made her very angry. But she couldn't control the boy at all, so she could only verbally threaten him.

Huo Nanchen's scalp was numb when he heard it, and he was afraid that she would continue talking, so he hurriedly said:
"Mom, don't talk about it, don't you want to see my aunt, it's rude to leave people here."

Only then did Cheng Zijuan remember that there were other people there, and immediately looked at Ji Anzhi.

To be honest, Ji Anzhi's appearance is really outstanding enough to make people forget the commonplace.

As picky as Cheng Zijuan couldn't say it was wrong, she stepped forward to hold Ji Anzhi's hand with a smile on her face.

He said kindly: "I've heard about you a long time ago. Only when I see a real person today will I know how outstanding you are. It's a fate that my younger brother can reunite with you at this age. I'm happy for you."

Feeling her kindness, Ji Anzhi relaxed a lot. She said with a smile:
"It's also a trick of good fortune. Now that Mingmei can recognize her father and get his father's love, I am already very satisfied."

Cheng Zijuan took her by the hand and said, "It's not enough just to get to know each other. I have to take her back to the old house to offer incense to his grandparents. I also need to register the family tree. I have to let the wives in the Hong Kong city circle recognize me." People, your marriage has to be put on the agenda."

Huo Wancheng also agreed with his whole face, and said in a deep voice:
"It's a pity that Mingmei isn't here this time, otherwise we would be able to see her. Our girl, Jingui, needs to be pampered and protected."

Ji Anzhi was also happy to hear what they said. After all, her daughter was recognized by her family, so she felt at ease.

Huo Wanjun said with a smile:
"Brother can always see it. The girl is filming now. She likes this line of work, so let her play."

Huo Wancheng frowned, "Although I don't agree with children entering the entertainment industry, let her be happy if she likes it. The girl's family can come as she likes. Anyway, we can't afford it. She just needs to be happy. Equip her with more life assistants, so she can feel more at ease."

After hearing this, Huo Nanchen said sadly:
"Dad, you are too eccentric. If I enter the entertainment industry, you will break my legs. It's unfair for my sister to protect me like this."

Huo Wancheng said angrily:
"Can you compare with your sister? Do you have more burdens and responsibilities than her? You don't have the courage of the Huo family man at all. "

At this time, everyone had already entered the private room and took their seats. Cheng Zijuan was afraid that her husband's temper would spoil the atmosphere, so she hurriedly said:
"Anzhi, when are you going to change Mingmei's surname?"

Ji Anzhi paused while holding the teacup, she glanced at Huo Wanjun, and said softly:
"Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry. I didn't intend to change Mingmei's surname. She was brought up by my father, and it was my father's intention to let her inherit the Ji family. You know, our family has a lot of money, and we always need it. An heir, and it was my father's last wish."

She accepted Huo Wanjun because she wanted to give Mingmei a complete family and get rid of the stigma of being an illegitimate daughter, not because she wanted to attach herself to the Huo family.

Cheng Zijuan was taken aback, she didn't expect her to say that, Huo Wancheng said a little unhappy:
"Mingmei is the only girl in the younger generation of our Huo family. How can it not be named Huo? How can it be possible to let an abandoned baby brought here from no one know where to take the name of the young lady of the Huo family."

Hearing what he said, the smile on Ji Anzhi's face disappeared. Huo Wanjun was paying attention to Ji Anzhi all the time, and he saw it very clearly.

Seeing this, he said very seriously:
"Brother, you don't need to worry so much. No matter what Mingmei's surname is, she is my own daughter, Huo Wanjun. It's not a bad thing to take her mother's surname. Why not? It doesn't affect her identity as the eldest daughter of the Huo family. ride on her head."

Cheng Zijuan also hurriedly said:
"That's the reason. Mingmei and her mother's surname have been together for more than 20 years. It doesn't matter if they change it or not. As long as it's our Huo family, they can have a second child in the future. Look at how young they are. How young are they? There is no problem with the third child, unlike me, when I gave birth to Nanchen, I had to have my uterus removed, and I couldn’t even give birth.”

Ji Anzhi originally wanted to refute, but when she heard what the sister-in-law said, she couldn't say too much, so she could only smile lightly.

Huo Wancheng probably thought that there would be children born in the family in the future, so a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"Zijuan is right. In the future, you can have a few more children surnamed Huo. Our family is still too small, and Nan Chen is a disappointment. The future of the Huo family depends on the juniors."

After hearing what he said, Ji Anzhi had the urge to leave immediately. She wanted to say that only she could decide whether to have a child, and no one else had the right to comment.

But they were none other than Huo Wanjun's family, and they were Mingmei's close relatives. She could only suppress her displeasure and did not make any remarks.

When a waiter happened to serve the food, they ended the conversation.

Cheng Zijuan looks like a shrewd lady, but she is actually very gentle and careless.

During this period, he kept chatting with Ji Anzhi, introduced her to many customs and habits of Hong Kong City, and told her about the food in Hong Kong City, and promised that when she went to Hong Kong City, he would definitely go shopping with her.

Ji Anzhi also gave face, and followed her words, apart from the initial unhappiness, he was actually happy to get along with her.

When Huo Wanjun sent Ji Anzhi away, Cheng Zijuan was still a little reluctant, and pulled her to tell her to bring Mingmei back to Hong Kong City as soon as possible.

After getting in the car, Huo Wanjun said with a smile: "Sister-in-law likes you very much, she is very kind, and you will know in the future."

Ji Anzhi nodded. She didn't have the desire to speak at the moment, and her heart was a little messed up. The feeling of being controlled and demanded was really unpleasant.

Seeing her ugly face, Huo Wanjun said:
"Otherwise, I'll accompany you to the park first, Nanchen will bring the ingredients back, so you don't have to worry too much."

Ji Anzhi remembered the disgusting experience of being controlled by others in the palace and being forced by the late emperor to have a child.

She really needed to adjust her mood, so she nodded in agreement.

Her state made Huo Wanjun a little anxious, as if there were thousands of rivers and mountains between them.

He felt flustered for no reason, and he didn't like this feeling very much.
