Chapter 380 - There Was No Need To Incur Any Girevance (1/2)

“Then, in the future, will we return?” Xiang Caiping held Su Qingsang’s gaze. Even though she had only stayed in this place for less than two months, she was already feeling a little reluctant to leave.

She felt comfortable living in Lin City, with only her daughter and son-in-law, and no other strangers. If they were to go to Rong City, where Huo Jinyao had a big family, it would be different. When that time came, would Su Qingsang be able to handle all the interpersonal relationships and issues related to that?

How would she adjust to living with her mother-in-law after getting used to living with just her husband?

“Mother, we will definitely have to come back.”

Su Qingsang still had some things to pack, and she also had to hand over her work in the hospital.

Most importantly, if she were to work in Rong City’s hospital, she still needed a recommendation letter from her current workplace.

She could ask Huo Jinyao for help, but she wanted to depend on herself more. She believed that she had the capability.

After having dinner, she chatted with Xiang Caiping for a while. Their conversation revolved around where they would be living after going to Rong City and how they would settle down. Su Qingsang had it all planned out.

She was also afraid that Xiang Caiping would be uncomfortable, so she told her that she would still live with her after their relocation.

This pacified Xiang Caiping and dispelled her worries. It did not mean that living with her mother-in-law would be the best arrangement. She did not look down on her daughter, but she was apprehensive.

The truth was that, in terms of status, Su Qingsang’s background could not be compared to Huo Jinyao’s. She was therefore afraid of her daughter being at a disadvantage.

The extent to which Xiang Caiping worried for and cared for her made Su Qingsang feel very touched. After comforting her mother for an extended amount of time, she finally got her to feel less worried and more assured.

Moreover, Huo Jinyao was going to be with them. Huo Jinyao had also guaranteed that he would never allow Su Qingsang to incur any grievances.

With his guarantee, Xiang Caiping had no choice but to trust him, even if she was not fully assured. The trio chatted amicably for quite a while before they could get Xiang Caiping to dispel all her apprehensions.

Once they were back in their room, Huo Jinyao’s demeanor changed. He held Su Qingsang in his gaze, his eyes reflecting a sense of knowing, as if he was exposing her silently.

“What’s up with you?” Su Qingsang felt increasingly uncomfortable with the way he was scrutinizing her. “Why are you looking at me in this manner?”

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her. “Tell me.”

“Tell you what?” Su Qingsang blinked. She refused to believe that Huo Jinyao was capable of guessing what she was hiding.

“Someone from the Su Family had looked for trouble with you?” Huo Jinyao hit the bullseye with his words.

Su Qingsang could barely hold her laughter in. “What nonsense! There was no such thing.”

“No?” Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows. “Previously, when I wanted you to go to Rong City, you weren’t half as enthusiastic as now.”

“I… I was just thinking about how the new year is nearing and how I have reunited with my mother.”

“Who was it?” Huo Jinyao was thinking about some of the members of the Su Family. “Your father? Li Qianxue? Or was it Su Peizhen?”

“You are over-thinking things. I really didn’t have any confrontational encounter with any of them.”

“Su Peizhen got the short end of the stick in Japan, so she wouldn’t try to look for trouble with you again. Su Chenghui had been here before the previous time, and moreover, he would not resort to finding faults with you. It must have been Li Qianxue.”

Huo Jinyao took a step forward and planted his feet firmly closer to Su Qingsang. The depth in his eyes was penetrating and he held her Su Qingsang directly in his stare. “Did Li Qianxue confront you?”

Su Qingsang was a little exasperated. It was unnerving to have such an extremely intelligent husband. “Why does it matter? Regardless of what she might say, I still plan to go to Rong City.”

“It was her, then.” Huo Jinyao had already gotten the answer he was after. He looked Su Qingsang over once. “Did she get physical?”
