Chapter 319 - Is That You? (1/2)

“Mother, hurry up and eat. The dishes won’t be good when they’re cold.”

Xiang Caiping was absolutely sure this time. She was sure that Su Qingsang had accepted her. The corners of her eyes were moist and Huo Jinyao started to speak upon seeing the state she was in.

“Mother, it’s Qingsang’s birthday today. We should be jubilant.”

“Yes, I’m happy. I’m happy.”

Xiang Caiping wiped the corners of her eyes. She felt especially delighted and heartened as she looked at Su Qingsang. Not only had she reunited with her daughter, she had also acquired a son-in-law.

She was feeling a surge of emotions that could not be pacified at the moment. Even though she tried her best to rein her emotions in, the redness in the corners of her eyes still revealed her current state of mind.

“I…I’ll go to the washroom.”

Xiang Caiping got up from her seat hurriedly and exited the private dining room in a state of haste. Huo Jinyao wanted to remind her that there was a washroom in their private dining room but he could not do it in time.

In a neighboring dining room, Su Chenghui’s two lower-echelon business partners were offering him a toast.

“Director Su, look how prominent your corporation is now. Please don’t forget about our smaller companies.”

“Yes, yes, we’ll rake in wealth together. It’ll be good to get rich together.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

They had fawned over Huo Jinyao but failed to gain his favor. Now, they were trying everything they could to associate themselves with Su Chenghui.

Tianyu Group’s current movements and plans in the business arena were hugely substantial. On top of that, the Li Family, the Qiu Family, as well as two other fairly prominent families, all had business partnerships with Tianyu Group.

Unfortunately, the companies of lower status than the movers and shakers of the business arena could not even get a whiff of any lucrative partnerships, not to mention any share of the pie.

Many business owners of smaller companies were bent on establishing connections with Huo Jinyao and fostering a good relationship with him to get into his good books. It was never to any avail as Huo Jinyao never agreed to meet them.
