Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1040: Most Important Woman

“Mom, don’t be angry about what happened with Hou Zexian earlier. I have nothing to do with him. I only played with him a few times when I was little. I don’t even consider him a younger brother at all.”     

“I’m not stupid.” Tian Qihua was amused by Liang Zixuan’s words. “At first glance, I knew that Hou Zexian had ill intentions. The people of the Hou Family are all full of evil intentions. I don’t want you to be too nice to them, and I don’t want the peace in the Han Family to be ruined because of them. I know they want to drive a wedge between us.”     

Tian Qihua was very clear. She understood that Liang Zixuan said those words because she wanted to make her happy first. The rest of Liang Zixuan’s words were her true goals.     

“Mom, when this child is born, some children will follow their mother’s appearance, but when they are two or three years old, they will look more like their father. Don’t think too much about what outsiders say.”     

Tian Qihua was also a straightforward person. She didn’t hold back her words and showed all her emotions on her face.     

“I understand what you’re saying. I just felt a little uncomfortable at the time, but I’ll be fine after a while. This child’s appearance isn’t important. I don’t care whose looks he follows, as long as he is the child of the Han Family.”

The handover ceremony officially began. Han Qingsheng stood on the small stage. He began recounting all Han Yuanjun’s achievements in recent years. His words were witty, and he praised his son for not being soft at all. From time to time, there would be triumphant applause following his words.

After Han Qingsheng finished his speech, he invited Han Yuanjun to come on stage. In front of everyone present, he handed the ancient jade pendant that symbolized the power of the Han Family to Han Yuanjun.     

Tian Qihua explained to Liang Zixuan. “The jade pendant has been passed down to the Han Family for six generations. It can only be kept by the patriarch. If something big happens, the head of the family can take out this jade pendant. If no one agrees with the patriarch’s decision, as long as the jade pendant is taken out and displayed in front of everyone, his words will have absolute power. Anyone who wants to continue living in the Han Family must obey him.”     

Liang Zixuan nodded as she listened.     

Indeed, such things existed in many large families.     

In a family that was too big, there would often be many disagreements. Everyone would argue endlessly. No one was willing to give in to anyone.     

For the unity of the clan and also for the prosperity of the clan, the clan head played a decisive role.     

After Han Yuanjun took the jade pendant, he gripped it tightly in his hand. Then, he held the microphone and gently looked at Liang Zixuan’s face.     

“The reason why the Han Family has been so prosperous until now is because of the women of the Han Family. My grandmother, my mother… They have always supported me from behind. I, Han Yuanjun, am very fortunate to have such a family. I am also very honored to be able to marry a wise and pious woman in this life. For me, she is my whole life. Now, I would like to introduce to everyone the most important woman in my life, which is my wife, Liang Zixuan.”     

Han Yuanjun and Liang Zixuan were so used to showing their affection in front of everyone.     

Therefore, even if Han Yuanjun said something very nauseating, everyone was already used to it.     

In the past, many thought that Liang Zixuan’s happiness was fake. For the sake of the Han Family’s reputation, Han Yuanjun would only pamper her in public.     

However, as time passed, Han Yuanjun and Liang Zixuan became an exemplary couple that everyone admired in their hearts. They were so sweet that they drove people crazy with jealousy.     

Liang Zixuan smiled and slowly walked towards the stage.     

She had only taken two steps when Han Yuanjun had already stepped off the stage. He held her hand in front of everyone and carefully helped her up the stairs.     

The two of them stood on the stage, sparkling like stars. Every frown and smile showed their happiness and tenderness.     

“Sigh… When they got married, I was waiting for the moment when Liang Zixuan would be dumped by Han Yuanjun. It has been two years since they got married, and she has already given birth to a son. It seems better not to expect this dream again.”     

“Don’t talk about you. At that time, all the girls craned their necks to see Liang Zixuan making a fool of herself. They all felt that Liang Zixuan, a grassroots, was not worthy of marry such a high-ranking family as the Han Family. Although Han Yuanjun protected her, her mother-in-law will definitely not give her face. This is very disappointing. Liang Zixuan is not only surrounded by the stars of the Han Family, but also by the moon. Now that she has risen to the top position, I can no longer expect Han Yuanjun to leave her and marry me.”         

“Stop talking. Is it honorable for your words to be heard by others?”     

Many people were not looking forward to their marriage. They actually thought about when Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun would divorce. After they got married, all these people prayed that they would suffer. This was not a good prayer at all.     

When these gossipers heard the warning, they pursed their lips gloomily. After all, they were in the Han Family and it was not good for anyone to hear their words.     

Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun’s hands were clasped together and they showed no signs of fear. Especially when they were standing next to each other in an impressive way.     

The more Yu Meilin saw this scene, the more she felt like throwing up. Hou Zexian’s eyes were almost bleeding from staring.     

Hou Shihong happened to turn his head and saw Hou Zexian looking at Liang Zixuan. His heart skipped a beat and he suddenly frowned.     

After the ceremony ended, there was still a banquet. Hou Shihong looked at Hou Zexian who was standing next to him with a glass of red wine, but his eyes were following Liang Zixuan.      

Hou Shihong took a deep breath.     

“Zexian.”     

When Hou Zexian heard Hou Shihong calling him, he unwillingly looked away from Liang Zixuan and turned to Hou Shihong.     

Hou Shihong’s expression was a bit ugly, but it was not that obvious. “All the women here are women from noble families. Is there anyone among them who catches your eye?”     

“No.” Hou Zexian didn’t even look at him as he answered.     

Hou Shihong was increasingly displeased, but he still maintained his elegant demeanor. “There are so many socialites here, there’s bound to be someone you like. Go find her and ask her for a dance.”     

Yu Meilin helped him from the side. “That’s right. Zexian, since you’re here today, you can choose your own partner. If you like her, leave her a phone or something like that. Nowadays, it’s very easy for young people to keep in touch with each other. If you really like her, you can tell mom. Mom will help you talk to her family.”     

“Did I say that? Did I say I want to find a wife?” Hou Zexian put the glass on the table. “You don’t need to worry about me!”     

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.     

Hou Shihong’s expression finally showed signs of fission. He shouted in a low voice, “Hou Zexian, stop right there!”     

Hou Zexian walked out of the garden as if he hadn’t heard him.     

Hou Shihong’s face was livid with anger. He clenched his teeth so hard that they rattled. “Yu Meilin! Look at your son! Don’t blame me for not reminding you. His eyes are fixed on a married woman! Hurry up and arrange his marriage. If you can’t do it, I’ll do it myself!”
