Chapter 464 - She Has Never Done Something Like That Before (1/2)

Liu Lexian was a little scared by Liu Tongjia’s attitude.

“No. My cousin said that she’s my cousin-in-law. He said her name is Su… Uh… Su…”

Liu Lexian didn’t remember the girl’s name. Liu Tongjia snorted and said, “Su Qingsang.”

“Yes. That’s her name.”

Liu Lexian thought Liu Tongjia seemed very angry, but he wasn’t sure why.

Was she angry because Huo Jinyao had gone to hang out with Su Qingsang, or because of Su Qingsang? Her tone sounded a little strange.

Old Master Huo, who was sitting on the other side, didn’t look happy either. As for Huo Mingguang, he looked sour-faced too.

Liu Tongjia was the most displeased of them all. She abruptly stood up and looked at Old Master Huo.

“Father, see, what did I say? I said a girl from a humble family like that wouldn’t know the right thing to do. What did you say to me back then? You said Jinyao chose her and nothing else matters as long as he likes her. What happens now? She’s come back to Rong City, but not home. Instead, they’re hanging out somewhere together. Does this family mean anything to Huo Jinyao? Does he have any respect for us, his elders?”

Old Master Huo was indeed a little unhappy, but he stayed calm. “We haven’t talked to him about it yet. Maybe there are other reasons.”

The more Liu Tongjia thought about it, the angrier she got. “I’ve wanted him to break up with that woman for such a long time, but he never listened. Now he’s obsessed with her.”

“All right, that’s enough.”

Old Master Huo held no grudges against Liu Tongjia, his daughter-in-law, but sometimes, he found her a little too fierce.

He was indeed unhappy about the fact that Su Qingsang hadn’t come home right after she had arrived in Rong City, but he wouldn’t make a scene because of that.

“Call Jinyao and ask him what’s going on.”

Liu Tongjia was angry. “No,” she said. “I just want to see when he plans to bring that girl home. I also want to know how proud this Su Qingsang is, exactly. She had better not ever come into our family house.”

Old Master Huo furrowed his brows. He didn’t agree with Liu Tongjia, but he didn’t say anything.

Liu Lexian sat on the other side, wearing a gloating smile.

…

Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang’s hand as they headed toward the cafe where Li Qianxue and Old Master Li were waiting.

“How have you been these days?”

Huo Jinyao had back to Rong City ahead of schedule so that Su Qingsang would have more time to spend with Li Qianxue.

Judging by their conversations on the phone, things were going well.

“Not bad.” Su Qingsang smiled at him and talked to him about Li Qianxue coming to Rong City with her.

“I think she’s nice. Actually, she wanted me to spend a few more days with her, but in the end, she traveled so far with me. It’s cold here. I can tell that she doesn’t like the weather here.”

“Hmm.”

“She also wants to buy me a house.” Su Qingsang told Huo Jinyao about what Li Qianxue had said to her. “How could things ever be like that? If you did something to hurt me, I’d simply move into a hotel.”

Huo Jinyao abruptly stopped walking, stepped before Su Qingsang, and looked down at her.

“Don’t you trust me?”

“It’s not like that. That’s not what I said.” Su Qingsang wore an innocent look.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and lowered his head toward Su Qingsang, saying, “You better not think that way.”

“What if I do think that way?” Su Qingsang raised her head provocatively.

Huo Jinyao suddenly bit her on the lip. Su Qingsang took a step backward when she felt the pain.

Huo Jinyao quickly put an arm around her waist, squinted at her, and said, “If you have those kinds of thoughts, I don’t mind proving my loyalty to you with my actions.”

Su Qingsang was deeply aware of what he meant by “actions.” She blushed immediately.

“Stop it. My mom is waiting for us.”

Huo Jinyao turned, holding her hand as they headed toward the cafe.

The buildings nearby had been constructed in exotic styles, but the ones two blocks away had been designed in the typical local style.

After taking a rest in the cafe, Huo Jinyao brought Old Master Li and Li Qianxue to that area.

Many small, unique things were sold in the stalls that lined the streets. Old Master Li had no interest in those.

Unlike them, Su Qingsang looked at those small things excitedly, turning from stall to stall.

Every time her eyes lingered on something for a few extra seconds, Huo Jinyao offered to purchase it.

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear that, so at last, she stopped looking at them.

“These things look interesting, but we don’t have enough room in our home for them.

“Let’s go. I heard there’s a snack street over there.”

Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Qianxue and Old Master Li, who were behind him. They would never eat anything from a snack street.

Su Qingsang stuck out her tongue. She wanted to visit the snack street.

“If Qignsang wants to go, let’s go.” Li Qianxue never ate street food, but she was happy to do anything that her daughter liked.

“Let’s go and take a look, then, shall we?”

Su Qingsang’s extra-careful attitude made Li Qianxue’s chest hurt. She stepped forward, took Su Qingsang’s hand, and turned to look at Old Master Li.

“Dad, I’ve never visited a place like this. Let’s just go and take a look.”

Old Master Li surely wouldn’t disagree. Soon, the four of them turned around and headed toward the snack street, which was not far away.
