70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman-Chapter 268: The Bustling Huo Family

After having lunch, Xu Mumu and Xu Hai went to buy various daily necessities.

Coming to the department store again, Xu Mumu directly bought the things she had set her eyes on, since money was not an issue for her.

No, Xu Mumu didn’t plan on paying for them herself; she intended to have her dad pay, after all, the furniture was obtained for free, and she even found him a job.

"Dad, hand over the money. I know you brought some." Xu Mumu said with a beaming smile.

"Daughter, why do you want me to pay?" Xu Hai suddenly felt uneasy.

"Of course, you should pay. I got the furniture and found you a job. Once we move here, you won’t have to worry about us not getting by at home." Xu Mumu said calmly.

In the end, Xu Hai reluctantly handed over the money and the vouchers.

All the way home, Xu Hai was heartbroken, he had never spent so much money in one day, over a hundred bucks, his heart was aching.

"Daughter, many of these things you bought, we can do without. Why did you buy so much?" Xu Hai was distressed, still heartbroken over the money, hard-earned over two hundred bucks, and now more than half of it spent.

"These things will naturally be useful; buying them all at once saves the hassle of running back and forth next time." Xu Mumu said calmly.

She had more than half a month before school started, and she wanted to sort out the household matters quickly before that.

Wei Shangzhou promised her that he would get two sets of furniture ready within three days and deliver them.

After staying at home for another ten days, she planned to go to the Imperial City with Yin Yang, staying at Yin Yang’s place first and preparing all the essentials.

Also, she wasn’t that familiar with the Imperial University in this world and thought it would be good to learn about it in advance.

While Xu Mumu and her side were busy cleaning the house, over at Huo Qingze’s side, he had already been back for a few days, staring intently at the person in front of him.

"Is what you said true?" Huo Qingze’s voice was icy, carrying a deep-seated hatred.

"Yes, Liu Shuyuan hid it very well; if I hadn’t been suspicious, it would have never been discovered. Qingze, what do you plan to do?" This person was Huo Qingze’s childhood friend Duan Yi, their relationship was excellent. Right after Huo Qingze came back a few days ago, he asked him to investigate Yan Bohai, and now he had just returned covered in dust.

"This is naturally my father’s matter; find someone to quietly reveal it to him." Huo Qingze narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Alright, I’ll have someone notify him right away." Duan Yi said gleefully.

"By the way, what about Liu Shuyuan? Do you want to cause her some trouble?" Duan Yi asked with a sly smile.

"I remember Huo Qingqing seemed to have her eyes on Lv Zhihong, right? Let’s set them up." Huo Qingze said coldly. Lv Zhihong was also someone from the compound, seemingly gentle and refined but actually a vile person taking advantage of his family background, having tangled with several girls, even causing incidents covered up by his family.

Liu Shuyuan naturally knew all this, but Huo Qingqing was infatuated with Lv Zhihong, believing her mom was deliberately ruining the person she liked, thinking she made it up to keep her from her beloved.

"Do we even need to set them up? Huo Qingqing is almost moving in with the Lv family." Duan Yi shrugged, Huo Qingqing was still a lady from the Huo family, after all, yet she became the joke of the circle.

"Of course, she wants to marry Lv Zhihong, doesn’t she? Let’s help her." Huo Qingze laughed coldly.

"Alright, alright." Duan Yi nodded with a smile; dealing with these people should be quite entertaining.

Sure enough, within two days, Huo Qingqing took the household registration booklet and secretly ran off to register for marriage with Lv Zhihong.

Once registered, upon returning home, the entire Huo family was waiting there, including Huo Qingze’s father Huo Dongzhen, his step-mother Liu Shuyuan, and his brother Huo Shiyao, all glaring at Huo Qingqing.

"Qingqing, where’s the household register?" Huo Dongzhen looked at Huo Qingqing, his voice filled with anger. The Lv family was far inferior to the Huo family, and Lv Zhihong practically grew up in front of him. He knew all about the things that had been covered up and never thought his daughter’s taste would be so poor.

"Here, dad, what are you doing? I’m exhausted, going to rest." Huo Qingqing placed the household register in front of Huo Dongzhen and then tried to retreat to her room in fright.

"Qingqing, who allowed you to marry Lv Zhihong?!!" Liu Shuyuan was also furious, this daughter spoiled to blindness, got involved with someone like Lv Zhihong, and was coaxed into marriage. In the future, she would surely be controlled tightly by Lv Zhihong.

Moreover, Lv Zhihong had always been secretive, never proposing formally despite planning to marry Huo Qingqing, showing a lack of regard for them. How could they not be angry?

"Mom, what are you saying? What marriage? I don’t know." Huo Qingqing was startled, seeing their ugly expressions, as if they all knew. The suspicion frightened her; how could they find out so quickly?

They still didn’t know about Huo Qingze’s return to the Imperial City, and Huo Qingze hadn’t returned to the Huo family but stayed with his grandpa and uncles.

As internal family conflicts erupted at the Huo family, Huo Qingze naturally awaited the spectacle.

In the afternoon, a man came to the Huo family, Lv Zhihong himself. Whatever he said to the Huo family, he directly took Huo Qingqing away.

The Huo family’s faces were terrible, unbearably grim, as if someone owed them millions.

"Qingze, curious about what Lv Zhihong said to your father?" Duan Yi entered from outside with a sly smile.

"What?" Huo Qingze raised an eyebrow; indeed, he was very interested.

"Lv Zhihong’s quite cunning, congratulations, you’re going to be an uncle." Duan Yi laughed even more cheerfully.

"Haha, it truly is a joyous event, two celebrations in the Lv family. Duan Yi, spread this news tomorrow; it’s been ages since the circle had something this lively. Lv Zhihong’s mother had been yearning for a grandson for ages." Huo Qingze curled his lips; now that he was back, those who owed him would pay it all back.

"No problem, I’ll make sure everyone knows." Duan Yi said excitedly.

Wei Shangzhou had someone deliver the furniture to their house, and Xu Mumu and her father worked all day to tidy up the home, making it livable.

Over at Yin Yang’s place, Xu Mumu had also set everything up perfectly, ready for occupancy.

"Phew, I’m exhausted; never knew fixing up a place could be so troublesome." Xu Hai lay on the bed, unwilling to move.

"Of course you didn’t; grandma and mom were always the ones doing it." Xu Mumu said calmly.
