Chapter 131 I have someone I like
The plan to escape was interrupted, and Huo Yan got off the aircraft under Zhong Ye's expectant eyes.
Two equally tall, handsome, and elegant men walked into the Zhong family's banquet hall side by side.
Mother Zhong was wearing a burgundy cheongsam with a matching shawl. She and a group of other noble ladies looked at the two people approaching, all with smiles on their faces.
Zhong Ye looked at his friend with ill intention. Ever since he insisted on taking the medicine sent by Kong Yu, his mother's health has been getting better day by day.
Zhong Ye's marriage, which had always been on people's lips, was now finally on the agenda. Today's banquet was a blind date party specially held for him.
Zhong Ye couldn't bear to reject his mother again and again, but he didn't want to face such an embarrassing situation alone, so he could only drag his good friend who happened to be returning to the capital star along.
He had a good plan. Huo Yan was a feared figure in the galaxy, known for his ability to stop children from crying at night. As long as he was around, the ladies who wanted to marry into his family would definitely not come near him. This way, his mother wouldn't feel sad, and he wouldn't offend the guests either. He was killing two birds with one stone.
But he would never have imagined how far these ladies would go for their children's lifelong events.
Seeing that the elusive Major General Huo of the Federation actually appeared at the Zhong family's banquet, the eyes of the ladies present lit up.
Originally there was only one Zhong Ye, and the competition pressure was quite high, but with the addition of Major General Huo, there was one more target.
When Zhong's mother saw Huo Yan walking in with her son, she almost couldn't stop smiling. In her heart, Huo Yan was just like her own child.
In the past, he was busy with official duties on Ice and Snow Star, and she didn't want to disturb him for such a small matter. But now that the occasion has come, she, as his elder, must worry about him.
Huo Yan and Zhong Ye naturally saw the look in Zhong's mother's eyes. One of them felt a tightness in his heart, while the other breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Ye gave his friend an apologetic look. He really didn't want to get married yet, so he could only use his friend to divert his attention.
Mother Zhong stepped forward, took the hands of Huo Yan and Zhong Ye on the left and right, and introduced them to her good sisters.
Looking at Major General Huo, who did not resist at all when his hand was held by Mrs. Zhong, the ladies looked at each other and felt in their hearts that the opportunity had come.
"Haha, Major General Huo, my daughter is a fan of yours. Her house is full of your posters, and she even said she wants to apply to join the Flame Army in the future!"
As someone started talking, all the ladies gathered around. Huo Yan wanted to leave, but Mrs. Zhong held his hand tightly, so he was forced to greet everyone.
Now, the ladies were even more enthusiastic in their sales pitch. "Major General Huo, my youngest son just graduated from college this year, and he really admires you. Can I have him come in and meet you?"
"Yes, yes, Major General Huo, my daughter is outside too, I'll let her in too."
"Go quickly, go quickly, let the young master and the young lady come in to see Major General Huo."
Following a series of orders, the entire banquet hall began to move. Huo Yan's arrival made the protagonists of this blind date banquet feel neglected, and also opened the first climax of this blind date banquet.
With Zhong's mother watching from the side, Huo Yan and Zhong Ye were directly surrounded.
On the second floor, Zhong Ling was leaning on the railing, laughing so hard that she was bent over.
"Hahaha, look at my brother and Brother Huo, it's so funny."
Boss Jin: "Wow, the Major General's face is frozen from laughing."
Kong Yu: "........Is this a blind date?"
Zhong Ling: "Yes, my mother prepared a blind date party, and it is imperative that my eldest brother and Brother Huo settle their lifelong affairs."
Originally, Zhong Ling was also supposed to be at this blind date party, but she said that she was busy with Beiyu's affairs these days and had no time, so she escaped. Now she has the opportunity to stand here and watch her elder brother and Major General Huo make a fool of themselves.
Kong Yu looked at Huo Yan in the video with a faint smile on his face, and silently left the group chat.
Huo Yan didn't know that the grand event of his blind date had been transmitted to the spare computer, and was still wondering how he could escape from this farce.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening when the guests of the Kong family left one after another. Some ladies even wanted to leave their children at the Zhong family's house for the night. Fortunately, the host family did not prepare guest rooms for the guests in advance, so they gave up.
Huo Yan and Zhong Ye collapsed on the sofa with a look of despair on their faces, but Zhong's mother was in very good spirits. Holding Zhong Ling's hand, the mother and daughter were still discussing which young lady or young master was the most beautiful tonight and would be suitable for their two children.
Huo Yan has never felt as tired as he does today at this age.
Zhong Ye was the same. In the past, he always heard his friends talk about the scenes of being forced into marriage, and he thought it was exaggerated. But when it really happened to him, he felt that what everyone said was too conservative.
The mother and daughter discussed for a while. Mother Zhong drank a sip of ginseng tea and then looked at her son, "Aye, Xiao Yan, I think there are some very good kids here tonight. Do you two like any of them?
If you like anyone, just tell me and I will visit them tomorrow."
Zhong Ling also looked at her elder brother and Huo Yan with anticipation. Her mother hadn't been so happy for a long time. If there were new members joining the family, she could hand Yuxiu over and concentrate on running Beiyu.
Zhong Ye waved his hands tiredly: "Mom, please let me take some time. I'll look for Ah Yan first. Once I find him, I can let him take him back to Ice and Snow Star directly."
Good friends are meant to be betrayed, as the saying goes, I would rather die than have my friend die.
Huo Yan stretched out his long legs and kicked Zhong Ye on the thigh. "Auntie, I already have someone I like. I'll bring him to you when I have the chance."
If Huo Yan doesn't make a sound, he will be a surprise to everyone.
Zhong Ye suddenly sat up straight and looked at his friend with an accusing look in his eyes, "As a good brother, how could you betray our promise to be single for a hundred years?"
Huo Yancai ignored him. As a good brother who grew up together, he had done his best.
Mother Zhong clapped her hands happily: "That's great, Xiao Yan. Who is the person you like? Does Auntie know him/her? Is he/she from the Capital Star? When will you bring him/her back?"
The barrage of questions that Zhong's mother asked in an instant made Huo Yan feel both amused and helpless. He wanted to bring the child back, but the little guy seemed to have not fully grown into his feelings and was indifferent to his advances.
But there was no need to tell these things to Zhong's mother. With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Auntie, he is still in school. I will definitely bring him back to see you when I have the chance in the future."
Looking at such a good friend, Zhong Ye couldn't help but shudder, but his heart was filled with curiosity like a cat scratching.
Zhong Ling was scratching her head curiously. It was hard to imagine who Brother Huo liked.
Mrs. Zhong wanted to ask more, but she felt that it was not appropriate for her to interfere too much in the affairs of young people, so she could only suppress her curiosity and said, "Okay, okay, then I will wait for your good news."
Then Zhong Ye's body tensed up, and he saw his mother looking at him expectantly, as if waiting for him to say something. But he swears to God that he really doesn't have anyone he wants to marry!
