Chapter 502 - He Knew Her Plan (1/2)

“Jinyao hires his secretaries by himself. Even if I did assign someone to him, he may not want to use that person.”

“He has more than one secretary. And if I’m not wrong, Zhang Yang’s wife is pregnant, and their baby is due soon. He is planning to ask for leave.”

‘He cannot think that I don’t know. The last time I went to the company, I overheard it,’ Liu Tongjia thought.

Huo Jinyao had a few secretaries, but he valued Zhang Yang the most. Zhang Yang had been working for him for years.

Apart from him, Yang Wenchang, the assistant, dealt with other things.

Liu Tongjia didn’t ask for an assistant position. She only wanted to assign him a secretary, a position that was not important to his work. Why couldn’t she do that?

Huo Mingguang looked at Liu Tongjia, feeling frustrated. He knew what his wife was planning something.

“Tongjia, Jinyao is married. Why do you have to——”

“What?” asked Liu Tongjia, staring at Huo Mingguang. Liu Tongjia didn’t think she was wrong. “What do you want me to do? I am doing this for his own good. Huo Jinyao is so blind that he is treating her like a queen.”

Huo Mingguang was baffled. He didn’t have a problem with Su Qingsang. However, as for Huo Jinyao——

In any case, Huo Jinyao was his son. Even though emotionally, he was uncomfortable with him, he was not as aggressive as Liu Tongjia.

“I don’t care. Whatever method you are going to use, you have to make it happen.”

“It’s just an arrangement so you don’t need to be so vexed. I’ll let someone arrange that tomorrow, okay?”

Liu Tongjia regained her composure but still looked a little bit upset.

Huo Mingguang walked to Liu Tongjia, stretching his arms out to hold her shoulder.

“I’m not going to talk you out of it. However, if you keep taking too many actions, Huo Jinyao may become disgruntled. Then——”

“He is dissatisfied with me?” Liu Tongjia sneered. “I don’t need his satisfaction. Among all the things he has done, which one has satisfied me? None, none of them. Since he let me down, why should I do things for his satisfaction? Am I his mom or is he my mom?”

Huo Mingguang was silent, gently patting her shoulder.

Liu Tongjia became gloomy. She leaned her face against Huo Mingguang’s chest and asked, “Mingguang, do you also think I am being unreasonable?”

The last time she had taken He Xuanyao home, Old Master Huo was extremely dissatisfied with her and looked very grave. Later, he talked to Huo Mingguang in private, asking him to tell Liu Tongjia to restrain herself.

Restrain herself? Why should she be the one to restrain herself? Huo Jinyao didn’t restrain himself at all.

She hated Old Master Huo for his partiality. It was clear that Huo Jinyao made a huge mistake and did wrong to the whole family. Why did Old Master Huo forgive him easily?

“No,” said Huo Mingguang. Liu Tongjia and he were married for over thirty years. They had been through a lot, and he understood her.

Huo Mingguang understood her hardship, as well as her suffering.

“Mingguang, to be honest with you, I don’t want to have any grandchildren whose mother is Su Qingsang. She is manipulative and scheming. You didn’t see the way she talked to me. I really dislike her.”

Of course, Liu Tongjia wouldn’t admit that she didn’t like Huo Jinyao even more than Su Qingsnag. It was her contempt towards Huo Jinyao that caused her to be fastidious about Su Qingsang.

Huo Mingguang understood. “All right, please don’t think too much. Tomorrow, I will arrange as you said, but as to what will happen in the future, it’s out of my control.”

“Okay,” Liu Tongjia nodded, and she looked up at Huo Mingguang, her eyes red. “Mingguang, thank you.”

Huo Minguang was silent, sighing in his heart.

Over the past years, he had also harbored a grudge against Huo Jinyao, and that’s the reason he had acquiesced in Liu Tongjia’s previous lunatic schemes.

However, thinking of Huo Jinyao’s love for Su Qingsang, Huo Mingguang started to develop a gloomy feeling.

He was afraid that Liu Tongjia wouldn’t get what she wanted this time.

…

Looking at the quaint door in front of her, Shi Mengwan complimented with amazement, “this place has a good vibe. How did you find it?”

“I don’t need to find it.” Su Qingsang looked at her and shook the golden card in her hand. “Yesterday, Huo Jinyao told me this great place. It’s also the right season to come here.”

Today was Friday. Huo Jinyao was at work so he couldn’t come with them. More importantly, he knew that Su Qingsang wanted to spend some time with Shi Mengwan, her best friend forever, or BFF.

“Mr. Huo is very considerate, huh?” Shi Mengwan cast an amused eye over Su Qingsang. “By the way, you don’t need to ask for a leave to accompany me. It’s not like I have never traveled alone before.”

“It’s different. You’ve traveled a long way, so I must prove my hospitality, right?”

Su Qingsang took her hands. “Let’s go! Speaking of that, I actually have benefited from you being here since it’s my first time.”

Thinking about the navigation app and the address that Huo Jinyao had told her yesterday, she may not have found this place, because it was unclear.

“You should be honest that you are planning to have fun all by yourself. I know that you are taking me only as an excuse.”

Shi Mengwan was joking with Su Qingsang, and Su Qingsang nodded at her words. “Wow, you have figured out my plan! I’m going to silence you tonight!”

When Su Qingsang was talking, she reached out, pretending to punch Shi Mengwan in her neck. Shi Mengwan dodged, laughing.
