Chapter 189: Which brother-in-law dares to challenge the big brother-in-law

Su Ruoyun didn't know Huo Jingcheng had arrived at the courtyard at first. She went downstairs like a night butterfly flying around, looking for Old Lady Su's figure.

She stepped on a pair of exquisite bow-knot flat shoes, her dress fluttering, and stepped into the living room, turning her head to ask the servant beside her: "Where is the old lady?"

Before the words could drift in the air, Su Ruoyun had already stepped into the living room. When her gaze swept to the man at the chessboard table, her figure paused slightly, and she stood still in place, blinking her eyes. She had a moment of stunned silence.

Here so soon?

The light footsteps approached from far to near. Huo Jingcheng was playing chess with Old Su, and suddenly heard the sound that was neither light nor heavy stop abruptly. He turned his head back unconsciously and cast a glance toward the entrance of the living room.

He discovered Su Ruoyun's astonishment, and he watched this chipmunk at the door with interest, a chipmunk with a flower bud bun, her exquisite face looking a bit dull.

Relying on Old Su lowering his head to watch the game, Huo Jingcheng raised his eyebrows and sent autumn waves secretly, blinking at Su Ruoyun, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, hooking out a few sharp edges.

The sun set, the sunlight was thin, and gradually retreated to the legs of the chessboard table. The Tyndall effect appeared, and a clear beam of light had its own shape.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun subconsciously glanced at the servant standing still beside her, confirming that she hadn't seen it, and then raised her eyes without a trace, her pair of clear apricot eyes glaring at the man, her eyes carrying a hint of warning.

Just then, Old Su raised his head, and the expression on Su Ruoyun's face instantly switched to a bright and light smile, as if the little emotion just now had never appeared.

She walked in, first called Old Su, and then greeted Huo Jingcheng seriously: "Hello, Mr. Huo."

Huo Jingcheng's thin lips curled into a meaningful faint smile, nodded slightly, and replied politely: "Hello, Miss Su."

Hearing her teasing, Su Ruoyun avoided Old Su and turned to wrinkle her small nose at Huo Jingcheng.

Afraid of being discovered by Old Su, she didn't stay in the living room for long and slipped away after a while.

The servant opened her mouth at the right time: "The old lady is in the front yard."

Su Ruoyun said "Oh," and then stepped on a relaxed pace and walked toward the front of the yard. A Maybach was already parked in the parking lane at the door.

Su Mingyan got out of the car with his long legs, saw Old Lady Su and Su Ruoyun sitting in the yard, and walked over quickly.

For the Cullinan that suddenly appeared at the gate of the yard, he only glanced at it briefly and didn't pay much attention.

"The sun has set, why are you still sitting here?" As he spoke, Su Mingyan lowered his hands, tested Old Lady Su's hand temperature, and after confirming she didn't feel cold, he slowly withdrew his hands.

"Just picked two bunches of grapes," Old Lady Su supported herself on the table in front of her and stood up. Su Ruoyun helped her on the side, "Okay, you siblings talk, I'll go to the kitchen to see."

As the words fell, Old Lady Su walked back into the house.

Su Ruoyun: "Why so late today?"

"Late?" Su Mingyan lowered his head and glanced at his watch, "The same time as before."

While speaking, the two also stepped into the house.

He raised his hand to take off his suit jacket and asked: "Where is the old man?"

The servant was sharp-eyed. Seeing the two approaching, she greeted them, took Su Mingyan's suit jacket neatly, organized it, and hung it on his elbow, "The old man is playing chess with a guest in the living room."

Su Mingyan brushed the wrinkles on his shirt, smoothed them out, and asked casually: "What guest?"

The servant who received Su Ruoyun's signal kept her mouth shut.

Su Mingyan watched the two playing riddles, not understanding, and the footsteps that were originally going to the kitchen turned, walking straight toward the living room, lightening his movements.

Standing at the entrance of the living room, he glanced inside and saw the familiar tall figure in front of the chessboard table.

It wasn't that he got off work late, it was that someone came early.

Su Mingyan withdrew his body without changing his expression, his expression bland, and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Su Ruoyun hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, a series of "Brother" blurted out.

"Brother, brother, brother, brother... don't go."

Su Mingyan, who was forced to stop, glanced at her blandly, his tone light, "Are you a pigeon spirit reincarnated, calling brother brother brother all day?"

"Also, with such great strength, are you going to pull my arm off and install it on yourself?"

"..." Su Ruoyun.

Su Ruoyun tried her best to maintain the little gentle smile she had left, squinting at him with a fake smile.

Su Mingyan withdrew his gaze from Su Ruoyun, then swept a glance into the living room. After seeing someone, he raised his hand, tapped her forehead with his index finger, and a light hum overflowed from his throat.

"Try looking at your brother with such eyes again."

As the words fell, he walked toward the kitchen without stopping, leaving Su Ruoyun alone to raise her hand to cover her forehead in hindsight.

Etiquette pays attention to not talking while eating or sleeping. There was not much sound at the dining table, only the slight crisp sound of bowls and chopsticks rubbing against each other.

This meal ended at nine o'clock in the evening.

As Old Su put down his bowls and chopsticks, his thin eyelids lifted slightly, and his gaze looked gently at Huo Jingcheng sitting on the lower left side, "They don't come back often, it's hard for you to accompany us two old people for dinner often."

Huo Jingcheng had also put down his chopsticks and was simply wiping his hands with a wet towel. Hearing this, he smiled faintly, his words revealing the humility and sincerity of a junior: "Old man, you are too serious. The two families are on good terms, and I often came to the Su family for dinner before..."

When Huo Jingcheng left the courtyard, it was late at night. Before leaving, Old Lady Su sent the two bunches of grapes picked in the evening to Huo Jingcheng's car.

Huo Jingcheng's eyes moved, nodded slightly, and took the fruit handed by Old Lady Su. The grapes were full of grains and bright in color.

Su Mingyan stood tall beside Su Ruoyun, seeing her looking down, playing with the fallen leaves on the ground, and couldn't help but remind: "Do you know what it means to send grapes?"

Caught off guard by the question, Su Ruoyun raised her head bewildered, a bit dull, "What does it mean?"

Su Mingyan didn't answer her, turned around and went into the house, and met Old Su standing by the window with his hands behind his back, "He just accompanied us for two meals, and he fooled you?"

His tone carried a bit of dissatisfaction.

Old Su had his own considerations.

The struggles in the upper echelons have always been full of swords and shadows, with countless eyes staring at each other. This young man from the Huo family has always been well-known, his character and ability are outstanding, and he is an unparalleled choice.

Su Mingyan pondered, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Old Su also had his own considerations.

The struggles in the upper echelons have always been full of swords and shadows, with countless eyes staring at each other. This young man from the Huo family has always been well-known, his character and ability are outstanding, and he is an unparalleled choice.

?? Sending grapes, I searched the internet for a long time, but couldn't find any meaning. I can only set it as the meaning of agreement and blessing.

? Personal setting, don't delve into it. ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
