Chapter 558 - They Probably Won’t Get along Well (2/2)

Su Peizhen claimed to be the Su family’s daughter, and that was true. She would always be the daughter of the Su family.

If she wanted to be with Huo Yifan, then let her be with him.

That was what was running through Su Qingsang’s mind.

No one but Su Peizhen noticed Su Qingsang’s shift.

Su Peizhen ducked her head so people wouldn’t see the smile on her face. There was not much more to be done today. All she had needed to do was to sow the seeds of doubt between Su Qingsang and Old Master Huo.

Time would do the rest.

Her performance was not over yet.

Nian Chunya and Huo Mingliang were Huo Yifan’s parents. As Old Master Huo had already accepted Su Peizhen, they could not disapprove of her.

Nian Chunya had not come from an exceptional family but always liked to compare herself to Liu Tongjia.

For years, she had lived under Liu Tongjia’s shadow. While many had heard of Liu Tongjia, very few knew who she was. When people talked about Mrs. Huo, they were always referring to Liu Tongjia and not Nian Chunya.

No doubt her husband was partly the reason she could never rise above Liu Tongjia. Huo Mingliang was not as capable as his older brother. As a member of the board of the Tianyu Group, he had barely contributed to the company.

Liu Tongjia was a capable woman. Nian Chunya had tried and failed a few times to cause difficulties for her.

She always wanted to come out on top, but could never figure out how.

Liu Tongjia was better than her in every way. She had birthed three children, but so had Liu Tongjia. They each had two boys and a girl.

Every time she thought about their children, she thanked God for allowing that incident to happen. She was relieved that Huo Jinkai died young.

That boy would have been so much more beloved than her sons had he lived.

Of course, she had never dared to share those thoughts with anyone else.

Old Master Huo strictly forbade anyone from talking about Huo Jinkai and his little sister. Their names had become taboo to the family.

Huo Yifan was about two years younger than Huo Jinyao. After Huo Jinkai had died, Nian Chunya developed some grand hopes for Huo Yifan, her eldest son.

Huo Jinyao had rarely ever been serious about anything as a boy. All he had liked to do was play around. Therefore, after Huo Jinkai had died, Nian Chunya thought that Huo Yifan might have a chance to take over the family business. However, to her surprise, Huo Jinyao became a completely different person after his brother’s death. He skipped grades, studied abroad, and then took over the company often earning Old Master Huo’s praise.

He had surpassed Huo Yifan and his siblings.

Liu Tongjia had only one son left. It stood to reason she should have no reason to be superior.

However that last son of hers turned out to be outstanding. He had become Old Master Huo’s favorite grandson. How unfair!

According to Su Peizhen, Su Qingsang had somehow convinced her parents to cast her little sister out of the family, in order to marry Huo Jinyao.

It proved that Su Qingsang was the capable one and that Su Peizhen was outmatched by her sister.

Sadly, the foolish Huo Yifan had picked the weaker sister. The thought made Nian Chunya’s face grow sour.

Su Peizhen walked to Nian Chunya and greeted her. Nian Chunya responded to the girl with a bland and unmistakably unhappy face.

Su Peizhen paid it no mind. She greeted Nian Chunya and Huo Mingliang politely and warmly. After which she turned to Huo Mingguang and Liu Tongjia, and then Huo Mingmei and Wei Nantian, and finally to the youngest family members. She gave her regards to every member of the family.

Li Qianxue had taught Su Peizhen well. Among other things, her manners were flawless.

Liu Tongjia hadn’t taken the girl seriously at first sight.

However, she had realized something as she looked on at the show the girl was staging.

Su Peizhen and Su Qingsang probably wouldn’t get along very well.
