Chapter 560 - We Are a Perfect Match (1/2)
He hadn’t known that she was Su Qingsang’s sister, that she had come from the Su family, or that she had been kicked out of her family.
He didn’t care who she was. However, the knowledge that the Su family had abandoned Su Peizhen in order to fawn on Su Qingsang rested uneasily on him.
“Mr. Huo, why do you say that? I remember specifically asking you if you dared to meet my parents. You told me that you had the guts for it.”
Huo Yifan narrowed his eyes as he looked at Su Peizhen. “Did you get close to me because of Su Qingsang?”
“Haven’t you been making use of me because you want to bring Huo Jinyao down?” said Su Peizhen, neatly turning his question back on him.
She could tell that her flippancy had caused Huo Yifan to get more than a little irritated.
“Woman, I don’t fancy being used,” he said.
“You are being used. All that means is that you are valuable. Besides…”
Su Peizhen put her hands on Huo Yifan’s chest and continued, “You’re not being exploited by me. We’re using each other. Isn’t that right?”
Huo Yifan stayed silent. He still felt uncomfortable.
“Your aunt doesn’t care for my sister, does she?” Su Peizhen said, abruptly changing the subject.
Huo Yifan noticed a foxy glint in her eyes. “And what do you want to do with that?” he asked.
“Mr. Huo, that should really be – what do we want to do with that?”
Su Peizhen moved closer to Huo Yifan and spoke with intent.
“You don’t like Huo Jinyao, and I don’t like Su Qingsang. Do you know what Huo Jinyao’s weakness is? It’s Su Qingsang. If anything happened to Su Qingsang, would he still have the heart to deal with you? Would he still care about being president of the Tianyu Group?”
She didn’t need explicitly spell it out. Huo Yifan was well able to see where she was going with this,
Seeing the look in her eyes, he held her waist tight as he said, “Has anyone ever told you that you’re a bad woman?”
“No. You’re the first,” Su Peizhen was all smiles as she put her arms around his neck. She asked, “Has anyone ever told you that you’re a bad man?”
“I don’t think anyone has,” Su Peizhen kissed him on the lips after saying that. “So, you’re a bad man and I’m a bad woman. We’re a perfect match.”
When she tried to move away from him, Huo Yifan grabbed her waist, trapping her in his arms.
“A perfect match?”
“Aren’t we?”
“Yes, we are.” He said nothing more and proceeded to kiss her hard.
He drew out the kiss until Su Peizhen could barely breathe, and even then he still didn’t relinquish his grip on her.
“Since we’re such a perfect match, let’s go and do something wicked together.”
“Great.” Su Peizhen smiled, “Wicked. I like that word.”
“Yeah? Then let’s do something that you’ll like even more.”
Huo Yifan got out of the car as he said that. He walked to the other side of the car, and lifted Su Peizhen out. This time Su Peizhen didn’t shrink away. She let him carry her upstairs.
That night, she did not go home.
…
“Has the workload at your hospital been so heavy lately? Why do you look so awful?”
Li Qianxue was having a video chat with Su Qingsang when she spotted the dark circles under her friend’s eyes on her screen.
“Not really. I guess it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night.”
She thought of Su Peizhen’s sudden appearance at the main Huo family residence last night. Su Qingsang wasn’t afraid of her, but she was struggling to decide whether she ought to tell Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui about it.
Like Huo Jinyao, she knew Su Peizhen was far from harmless.
She had shown up together with Huo Yifan at the Huo family house. She was definitely up to something.
Although Su Qingsang was aware that Su Peizhen was most likely planning on targeting her, she didn’t know what exactly her half-sister was intending to do.
“Last night?” Li Qianxue thought about the date. She knew that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao visited the Huo family residence every weekend.
“Did Huo Jinyao’s mother give you a hard time again?”
“No. Mom, what are you talking about?”
Liu Tongjia had been strangely quiet yesterday. Her behavior had been so out of the ordinary that Su Qingsang felt a little unbalanced by it. Keeping so quiet wasn’t like Liu Tongjia at all.
“His mother isn’t an unreasonable person. The most she would do is not talk to me.”
“Good, then don’t talk to her.”
Li Qianxue couldn’t bear seeing her daughter treated badly. Just thinking about Liu Tongjia’s attitude made her angry.
She had only just gotten her daughter back. She only wished that she could spend more time with the girl. Who gave Liu Tongjia the right to be so unkind to her?
“Mom, why are you acting like a child?”
Li Qianxue felt somewhat embarrassed. She ducked her head and fell silent. She had been a little short-tempered lately. It was all Su Chenghui’s fault.
They had finally gotten a divorce, but after that he had come to her and told her that he regretted their split. He told her that he still loved her.
