Chapter 1111: Chapter 1153: A Disastrous Gathering

Huo Junmo spoke softly, "After all, you are family. They won’t go too far! Haven’t you already seen the changes in your father over this past month? Since you are family, you should give them a chance to change!"

Ling Yueyue confidently said, "It’s easy to change rivers and mountains but hard to change one’s nature. Although my father has changed compared to before, my mother... I truly understand her! That woman will never change. In her eyes, there’s only money and never me, her daughter!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue so determined, Huo Junmo sighed helplessly, gently rubbed Ling Yueyue’s head, and said softly, "Just give me this favor, give them a chance! A harmonious family is always better than how things are now! All I hope for is that you can be happy and regain the familial warmth you lost before!"

"I...!" Ling Yueyue still wanted to insist on her viewpoint, but when she saw the hopeful look in Huo Junmo’s eyes, all the words of refusal got stuck in her throat.

Everything Huo Junmo did was for her! As a son-in-law, he didn’t mind, so how could she, as their biological daughter, reject her parents like that?

Although her parents were indeed excessive before, they had truly changed over the past month! Maybe they’ve really reformed? Why not give them a chance? Perhaps there will be unexpected surprises?

Thinking of this, although Ling Yueyue was still somewhat unwilling, she nodded in agreement! Then, as if remembering something, she suddenly asked, "Even if I invite my parents to Tiantian’s full-month banquet, tomorrow is the day, they can’t possibly make it in time!"

Huo Junmo smiled and said, "Don’t worry, they’re already in Jin City, staying at a hotel I’ve arranged!"

Hearing this, Ling Yueyue’s eyes widened, and she angrily said, "You did it on purpose? You pretended to ask my opinion but actually decided on your own. Otherwise, why would you let them come to Jin City? What if I didn’t agree?"

Seeing Ling Yueyue angry, Huo Junmo wasn’t flustered at all. He gently stroked her cheek and said with a smile, "After all these years as a married couple, don’t I know you? You’re just hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Although you say you’re mad at them, deep down you yearn for their attention! That’s why I knew you might oppose it initially, but you’d agree in the end!"

Seeing Huo Junmo completely speak her mind, Ling Yueyue puffed up her cheeks in anger, raised her chin high, scoffed, and deliberately said, "Hmph... Now I’ve changed my mind, I’m not agreeing!"

"Silly girl! I know you’re just saying that in anger! Be good, don’t be upset! Mr. Huo cares about you!" With that, he cupped her raised cheeks in his hands, and his attractive thin lips directly blocked hers.

The previously tough Ling Yueyue quickly surrendered under Huo Junmo’s gentle onslaught! Initially, she resisted symbolically but soon stopped resisting entirely and responded to Huo Junmo’s kiss with a face full of enjoyment.

After kissing for a while and seeing Ling Yueyue soften, Huo Junmo finally let go of her lips, smiled contentedly, and said, "Alright, I’ll arrange the guests. You have a good rest, and regain your energy. Tomorrow might be a bit tiring!"

"Mm!" Ling Yueyue, who was like a fierce little tiger moments ago, suddenly became very docile and nodded gently.

"Rest well!" With that, Huo Junmo left a kiss on her forehead, helped her lie down on the bed, covered her with the quilt, then stood up and went to the door, turned off the room lights, and exited the room!

.........

The next day, Ling Yueyue got up early. She specially dressed up for Tiantian’s full-month banquet and applied light makeup.

Once she was ready, she let the nanny hold the baby and got into Huo Junmo’s car, heading to the hotel where the banquet was held!

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ling’s father, Ling’s mother, the eldest sister, second sister, third sister, and fourth brother had already arrived, all seated at the table!

Ling Yueyue originally thought her family had changed a lot over this past month! However, when the full-month banquet truly began, she realized that her mother was still the same, with no changes at all!

The banquet was completely affected by her mother’s antics! Although midway, her parents and siblings were invited out of the hotel by Huo Junmo, Ling Yueyue still felt uneasy!

After seeing off the guests, Ling Yueyue finally brought the baby back home with Huo Junmo.

After returning home, the nanny took the baby to the nursery, while Ling Yueyue sat on the bed, her face looking distraught.

Seeing her upset, Huo Junmo sat beside her and said with great regret, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I should have listened to you and not invited your parents! As a result, a perfectly good full-month banquet was ruined!"

Ling Yueyue shook her head indifferently, "It’s fine, I’m used to it! If my parents had let today’s banquet proceed smoothly, that’d be like the sun rising from the west!"

"Sorry!" Although Ling Yueyue said this, Huo Junmo still felt uncomfortable.

Ling Yueyue raised her fist and lightly hammered Huo Junmo’s chest, "Oh, stop saying sorry to me all the time. It’s not your fault. The blame lies with my mom. I’ve said before, a leopard can’t change its spots! If she suddenly started to care for me, liked me, or felt sorry for me today, I’d think she was off her meds! Today my mom’s behavior was utterly normal!"

Huo Junmo smiled with pursed lips, "From now on, regarding your parents, I will follow your guidance!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yueyue’s eyes lit up, quickly seizing the moment, "Is that a promise? I want you to agree to one thing right now!"

Huo Junmo raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Ling Yueyue looked into Huo Junmo’s eyes firmly, "Didn’t my mom just say? She asked you to find a way to bring my siblings to the city to study. You must not agree! I know you have a soft heart. I’m afraid you’ll agree on my behalf, bringing them to the city secretly! If you bring them here, they’ll stick to us like gum! Besides, if they’re truly capable, they should rely on their own abilities to get here. If not, staying in the old home is better! After all, they’ve lived in the old home for over ten years, suddenly bringing them to the city, they might not be able to adjust!"

Huo Junmo smiled, "Don’t worry, without your consent, I won’t agree blindly!"
