Chapter 289 - You Expect Me to Put Up With Su Qingsang? (2/2)
“Could she be Huo Jinyao’s mother or someone related to the Huo Family? Su Qingsang was especially nice to her. She took her shopping for a lot of clothes.”
“Which relative are you talking about? Could it be that Huo Jinyao’s mother is here for a visit?” Su Chenghui overheard the conversation.
He had just gotten back from his social commitments. Due to the joint venture with Tianyu Group, the Li Family was kept busy these days.
Upon returning home, he had caught on to Su Peizhen’s previous comment. “If the Huo Family has a visiting relative, we will have to extend our hospitality by treating her to a meal.”
Su Chenghui sat on the sofa as he spoke and a domestic helper came over to serve him some tea.
He received the cup of tea and took a sip of it before looking at Su Peizhen, “Are you sure she’s Huo Jinyao’s relative?”
Though he did not favor Su Qingsang, he had to acknowledge the fact that she had an eye for choosing the right husband. Huo Jinyao was definitely a formidable character.
The joint venture with Tianyu Group not only brought the Li Corporation substantial profits, the latter also stood to benefit in several lucrative ways.
During this period of time, Su Chenghui was in constant contact with Huo Jinyao. Even though he did not pick Huo Jinyao as his son-in-law, he really admired Huo Jinyao and held him in high regard.
“Father,” Su Peizhen felt that her father’s words were the last thing she needed to hear at this moment. To add insult to injury, Su Chenghui looked eager to be on Huo Jinyao’s good side.
“I don’t think she looked anything like someone related to the Huo Family. She looked more like a country bumpkin. If she was really Huo Jinyao’s mother, why did Su Qingsang address her as ‘aunt’?”
Though Su Chenghui had been drinking, he was not drunk. Addressed her as ‘aunt’? Well, I’ll ask Huo Jinyao about it tomorrow. Su Chenghui was working with Huo Jinyao regularly nowadays.
Upon returning home, Huo Jinyao espied a pile of shopping bags in the living room and Su Qingsang sorting them out.
