Chapter 356 - Another World (1/2)

Su Qingsang noticed Huo Jinyao’s subtle act and turned to give him a smile.

Both Shi Mengwan and Xiang Caiping noticed the pair’s attitude towards each other. Xiang Caiping then felt better after her previous unhappiness.

On the other hand, Shi Mengwan’s eyes reflected envy and a streak of gloom. She recalled her encounter with Zhan Haoze a few days ago.

Su Qingsang was fortunate. Huo Jinyao was hers and hers only. Huo Jinyao had no rivals for Su Qingsang’s affection either.

However, Zhan Haoze had another woman. Shi Mengwan was not the one by his side. Most importantly, Zhan Haoze had long forgotten their promise to each other.

As she shook off her thoughts, Shi Mengwan’s emotions changed immediately. Soon, she was again cracking jokes.

With her daughter, son-in-law and Shi Mengwan present, Xiang Caiping’s spirits greatly lifted.

What had happened in the past was irreversible. She would just make sure to pamper her daughter extra in the future.

Xiang Caiping placed the beef that had been cooked in the hotpot in Su Qingsang’s bowl and some vegetables in Shi Mengwan’s bowl. The atmosphere was harmonious and joyous.

Just when the mood was getting really good, the doorbell rang.

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao’s eyes met and he placed a firm hand on her shoulder before getting up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was Su Chenghui and he obviously had not expected Huo Jinyao to be the one to open. He was momentarily surprised.

The dining room was joined to the living area. Su Qingsang was seated at the spot in the dining room that faced the living area. Espying Huo Jinyao standing and not moving at the door, she turned her head and spotted Su Chenghui at the entrance.

Frowning, she subconsciously turned to look at Xiang Caiping who was seated at her side.

The smell of the hotpot was strong and Su Chenghui naturally caught its whiff. “You…you are having dinner?”

Huo Jinyao lifted his jaw a little and said, “That’s right. We’re just sitting down to eat. Have you had dinner, Father?”

“I have not.” Su Chenghui answered without thinking. He felt a little awkward after answering. “Don’t mind me, you should go ahead.”
