Chapter 467 - Maybe I Should Take Her Home (1/2)

Huo Jinyao recalled how Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang had become reacquainted with each other.

“Her daughter had lived with her for over twenty years, but she didn’t know that it was her daughter. It’s understandable that she had a real shock from that. That’s why I let Qingsang spend a few days with her mother. Grandpa, if you want to blame someone for that, blame me.”

“I don’t blame you.” Old Master Huo hadn’t known the full story before. “Despite everything, they still came here in such haste. I can see how much Qingsang means to them.”

“Of course.” Huo Jinyao nodded. Thinking of what Su Qingsang had told him the day before, he continued, “Qingsang’s mother and grandfather have just gotten her back. They really don’t want to part with her so quickly, actually, but in consideration of our family, they will let her come back here soon.”

The Li family had really been trying to consider things from Su Qingsang’s perspective.

“They didn’t come here right after they got off the plane yesterday, because Lin City’s traditions don’t allow people to meet with their in-laws in the afternoon. They did that to show us respect and to let us know how important this marriage is to them, even though we don’t have that kind of tradition here.”

“That’s right.” Old Master Huo nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I understand.”

Huo Jinyao sighed with relief and said, “Grandpa—actually, Qingsang didn’t want me to tell our family about her story. She didn’t even plan to tell her mother the truth. In fact, things have ended up this way because of a series of coincidences.”

“Qingsang planned to take care of Xiang Caiping for the rest of her life and treat her like her real mother. If Li Qianxue hadn’t coincidentally returned when we got home, all if this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Jinyao, you don’t need to explain. I know what you’re trying to tell me, and I know what your mother has said. Sometimes, she can be very opinionated and assertive. Don’t worry, you don’t need to take what she’s said seriously.”

Huo Jinyao nodded. He did not take Liu Tongjia’s words to heart, but he was still worried that she would keep giving Su Qingsang a hard time. She might use the fact that Qingsang didn’t come home with him for the New Year as an excuse to be harsh.

He didn’t really care what Liu Tongjia had said. He knew that Liu Tongjia had held a grudge with him all these years. He just didn’t want Su Qingsang to have to put up with unreasonable confrontations from Liu Tongjia.

“I know that you’re worried that your mother might not treat Qingsang well. Relax. Your mother is sharp-tongued, but she won’t do anything awful. If she is really tempted to be cruel one of these days, I’ll stop her.”

“Grandpa, thank you.”

If it weren’t for Old Master Huo, the family would have many more problems.

“Alright kid, no need to thank me.” Old Master Huo looked at Huo Jinyao with glowing eyes. “If you really want to thank me, have a baby with Qingsang. I’d be so happy to have a great-grandson.”

“That’ll happen sooner or later.”

“Master, people from the Li family are here.” Uncle Zhang had appeared as they were talking.

Old Master Huo and Huo Jinyao hurriedly went downstairs.

When Yang Wenchang picked them up from the hotel, he gave Huo Jinyao a call. That way, by the time Old Master Li and Li Qianxue entered the courtyard, Huo Jinyao was already at the bottom of the stairs.

Li Yongfeng had met Old Master Huo several times before, but they ended up founding their businesses in different areas. This would be the first time they saw each other in decades.

“Yongfeng, my brother.” Old Master Huo greeted Old Master Li warmly. He moved to welcome Old Master Li and Li Qianxue the moment they came in. “I never thought that we’d become family someday.”

“Tell me about it.” Old Master Li gave a long sigh. “I told Qingsang that she was a lucky girl when I heard that she married into your family.”

“Oh, I think Jinyao is even luckier.”

Old Master Huo meant what he said, but to Old Master Li, it seemed that he was just trying to be nice.

“I think Qingsang is a very nice girl, too,” Old Master Li said frankly. “If she and Jinyao weren’t already married, I wouldn’t let her leave home so soon.”

Old Master Huo understood where Old Master Li was coming from, having already spoken with Huo Jinyao.

He laughed. “I understand. If I had a granddaughter as nice as Qingsang, I wouldn’t want her to get married so soon either.”

“Is this Qingsang’s mother?” Old Master Huo turned to Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue took a step forward, smiled at Old Master Huo, and reached out a hand.

“I’m Li Qianxue. It’s such an honor to meet you. I heard about you from my father, long ago.”

“It’s nice to meet you too.”

Old Master Huo guided Old Master Li and Li Qianxue to the living room and offered them seats. Li Qianxue presented Old Master Huo with the gifts that she had brought.

“Having you two here is already such a delight. You shouldn’t have brought us gifts.”

Old Master Huo let Huo Jinyao accept the gifts. By then, Li Qianxue hadn’t seen her daughter for almost a day, and she couldn’t help but glance around.

“Qingsang stayed up late last night, so she hadn’t gotten up yet,” Huo Jinyao explained.

Li Qianxue gave him an extra look over. Before, Qingsang always got up early, no matter what time she went to sleep the night before.

So she was tired, huh?

“Grandpa. Mom. ”
