Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 1028: Banquet: Huo Shaoting’s Coordination

Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Banquet: Huo Shaoting’s Coordination

The person who came was Huo Shaoting.

He first apologized, then glanced towards his beloved wife in the crowd.

Miss Yan was wearing a dark floral cheongsam, adorned with precious jewelry.

She was more charming than the flowers.

Huo Shaoting looked for a moment before moving his gaze.

Su Ruanruan laughed and said, "Second Brother Huo is so mesmerized by his wife, like a silly crane."

Huo Shaoting quickly bowed to her.

He was especially cordial towards her, "Ruanruan, don’t tease me!"

Su Ruanruan let it go gently.

After exchanging glances, Huo Shaoting then chatted idly with Han Ping, who, impressed by his knowledge of ancient culture, regarded Huo Shaoting highly.

From beginning to end, Su Ruanruan remained very modest.

The grand young madam made things difficult several times, but she resolved them lightly.

At the height of their conversation, Han Ping brought out his collected Crane and Lotus Painting for everyone to admire.

Amid countless praises.

Han Ping was very pleased.

He looked at Su Ruanruan and said indifferently, "Besides being a great painter and looking good, does Miss Su have any other compliments?"

Su Ruanruan answered seriously, "I’m afraid not!"

Han Ping was displeased.

If not for decorum, he would have sent her off to join the ladies for small talk long ago...

He continued chatting with the grand young madam.

The grand young madam spoke of ancient poetry with such grace and elegance, the aroma of tea lingering!

Han Ping admired her greatly and cast a subtle glance at Su Ruanruan.

—Look at her!

After spending a long time with Bao Jingyan, Su Ruanruan developed a thick skin, handling such occasions with a smile.

Just then, Huo Shaoting said with a smile, "Though this Crane and Lotus Painting is good, in my heart, the Beauty Begonia Painting is even better! Uncle Han, why not bring out the painting for us to feast our eyes on?"

Han Ping sighed softly.

He said, "It’s not impossible, but this painting has always had its regrets!"

Huo Shaoting pretended not to know.

Han Ping took out the scroll and laid it flat on the rosewood desk.

It was seen that the ancient painting had a small hole in it.

Being a lover of paintings, Han Ping caressed the small hole with a sense of loss, "It’s my fault for ruining such a good painting! I’ve searched for craftsmen everywhere, but no one could repair it!"

Huo Shaoting examined it closely.

At this time, the grand young madam softly said, "This type of rice paper was produced in An H Tuzhou, and today the ancient technique has been lost, no longer finding the same material."

Han Ping sighed slightly, full of self-blame.

Huo Shaoting caressed the painting and suddenly said, "I happen to know someone who can restore ancient books, perhaps she has the Tuzhou-produced rice paper. Why not ask her to give it a try?"

Han Ping immediately inquired about her.

Huo Shaoting, being straightforward and easy to talk to, immediately wrote down an address, "Just go to this teahouse and say you’re looking for the master, this teahouse is the master’s property."

Han Ping held the paper, smiling in appreciation.

Huo Shaoting was very courteous, "It’s my duty!"

At this time, the grand young madam spoke softly, "If it works out, Uncle Han will surely have a reward! But I think it would be too much of a coincidence for this to happen, Shaoting, you might be disappointed."

Although Huo Shaoting had friction with her, he maintained his composure in front of outsiders.

He only smiled without speaking.

Then, a servant came to invite everyone, saying that the madam had invited them to take their seats.

Han Ping valued Huo Shaoting and also Liu Xiruo, the daughter of an old family friend.

He invited them to sit at the main table.

However, there was no seat for Yan Jing.

Huo Shaoting politely declined, saying, "It’s the first time my wife attends a banquet with me, I can’t leave her alone."

Han Ping was hopeful about the ancient painting restoration.

He readily said, "What’s the difficulty in that? Just have Second Young Madam sit with us as well."

So Yan Jing was also seated at the main table.

She was somewhat uneasy.

Su Ruanruan, on the other hand, was calm and said, "Just go ahead and sit, it’s only fair to sit alongside Liu Xiruo! Second Brother Huo is standing up for you, don’t let him down!"

Yan Jing felt it was unfair to Su Ruanruan: considering Su Ruanruan’s status, sitting at the secondary table was clearly disregarding her.

Su Ruanruan gently shook her fragrant fan.

She said mysteriously, "Rest assured, Sister Yan, one day Han Ping will have to invite me as an honored guest, treating me with the utmost respect!"

Miss Yan then took her seat with her husband.
