Chapter 7 - Being Aggressive (1/2)

“You…” Su Peizhen’s eyes swept over Huo Jinyao. His custom handmade tuxedo made him look prim and proper. But while she pondered, she realized that although the Li family was of high status, she had never seen this man at any events in Lin City, which meant that this man was either from Lin City was just a nobody.

“Are you from Lin City?”

“Not necessarily.”

“What do you mean by that? It’s either a yes or a no.”

“My father is from Lin City, but my mother isn’t.”

Su Peizhen’s lips trembled. How is that an explanation?

“May I ask your surname?”

“My surname is Huo. My name is Huo Jinyao.”

Huo? Su Peizhen thought about it for a long time, but couldn’t think of any rich person in Lin City with the surname Huo. She didn’t want to be mistaken so she asked again, “Mr. Huo, what’s your employment status?”

“It can’t be considered a high position; I just work for a small business.”

The look of disdain in her eyes grew as Su Peizhen listened to Huo Jinyao’s words. “Oh, is that right? Just now you said that Su Qingsang didn’t want Wei Lenan anymore and that she is going to marry you? Then what about you? Do you also agree?” This man would agree to this type of situation where the groom was changed halfway? she wondered.

“Of course I agree. Why else would I be here today?”

Su Peizhen nodded. She looked at Su Qingsang as if she wanted to say something, then smirked. “If you want to get married to Su Qingsang, then naturally, our Su family won’t oppose it. But I need to clarify a few things beforehand. All of the properties that the Su family has right now belong to my mother’s side of the family. Su Qingsang is just an illegitimate daughter, so you won’t get any benefits from marrying her. Unless she lied to you on purpose and you didn’t know? You thought that you could build relations with the Su family after marrying her?”
