Chapter 591 - You’re Really Going All Out (1/2)

Su Peizhen simply stood there. After Su Chenghui left, she finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Old Master Huo, I’m not feeling well. I’ll go back and rest first.”
She used her last bit of grace to say this and quickly left.
Huo Yifan hurriedly said goodbye to Old Master Huo and quickly chased after him.
Not understanding how things had turned out like this, Old Master Huo simply sat there.
It was as if he finally realized that something was wrong.
“Big brother, this –”
Huo Yangyuan and Huo Yangxiu both looked at Old Master Huo. Old Master Huo waved his hand.
“I was too impatient. Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now.”
“Yes, yes,” Nian Chunya interjected. “If you ask me, there are a lot of good girls in Rong City. There’s no need to lower yourself to their level.”
Old Master Huo looked at him with a cold gaze. Nian Chunya was embarrassed for a moment and didn’t speak again.
..
Not long after Su Qingsang sent Li Qianxue away, she realized that Su Chenghui was leaving too.
“Dad, are you leaving already?”
With a complicated expression, Su Chenghui looked at Su Qingsang. He had just hurt his other daughter’s heart.
But even so, he did feel guilty towards Su Qingsang.
“Qingsang, I booked a plane ticket back to Lin City tomorrow. Your mother probably won’t stay in Rong City for long. You have to take good care of yourself.”
“Dad?”
“Qingsang, what happened in the past was all dad’s fault. I let you down.”
When he scolded Su Peizhen, who was he to speak?
A gentleman doesn’t hide his illegitimate family. He was guilty, and now he had to suffer such a result.
Sisters becoming enemies wasn’t what he wanted to see, but he was powerless to stop it.
“Dad, it’s all in the past. It’s okay.”
Su Chenghui didn’t know how to explain to her. He looked at Su Qingsang and suddenly reached out to hug her.
“Qingsang, don’t put yourself through this. Don’t let others put you through this either. If someone bullies you, you can tell me. Dad will definitely stand up for you.”
Su Qingsang was caught off guard by Su Chenghui’s embrace and was completely stunned.
She didn’t know how to react and just stood there dazedly.
Su Chenghui patted her back and thought about it for a long time before saying, “Be careful of Peizhen. She –”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but he believed that Su Qingsang would understand. Judging from Su Qingsang’s performance today, she wouldn’t let anyone bully her. In that regard, he could be more or less at ease.
He looked behind him. Huo Jinyao had arrived at some point and was standing behind Su Qingsang.
Su Chenghui gave him a look, a tacit look that they both understood. Huo Jinyao nodded. With guilt in his eyes, Su Chenghui let go of his hand and looked at Su Qingsang.
In the corridor, the cold wind from the air conditioner made one’s arms feel cold.
Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao after Su Chenghui left. “What happened to my dad?”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and told her the latest news.
“Your dad rejected Grandpa’s proposal. He opposed Su Peizhen marrying into the Huo family.”
What?
Now, it was Su Qingsang’s turn to be shocked.
Huo Jinyao wasn’t the only one who got the news. Liu Tongjia got the news as well.
Liu Tongjia felt a little suffocated. Compared to Old Master Huo, who misunderstood, she knew Su Peizhen’s ulterior motives better.
She wanted to make things difficult for Su Qingsang and see Su Qingsang make a fool of herself.
On one hand, she was afraid that Su Qingsang would really make a fool of herself and embarrass the Huo family. On the other hand, she hated Su Peizhen for not knowing what to do.
It was such an important occasion, and only outsiders didn’t grasp her ulterior motives.
In the end, Su Qingsang handled it perfectly. She should feel relieved, but she felt uncomfortable again.
The better Su Qingsang behaved, the more uncomfortable she felt. Because she always thought of Su Qingsang, who was in Zhang Yichen’s arms.
That feeling made Liu Tongjia feel as if a fish bone was in her throat. It was really uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Mingguang noticed that Liu Tongjia’s expression wasn’t very pleasant. “Are you not feeling well?”
“No.” Liu Tongjia shook her head. She thought of something else. “That Su Chenghui is quite sensible. He knew that his daughter was an illegitimate daughter and wasn’t worthy of the Huo family, so he came to stop her. But isn’t he basically slapping our faces now?”
Su Peizhen was an illegitimate daughter and wasn’t worthy of Huo Yifan, but wasn’t Su Qingsang also considered an illegitimate daughter before? Instead, she married Huo Jinyao.
What was the meaning of this?
Could it be that in Su Chenghui’s heart, her son was no match for Huo Yifan?
Huo Mingguang had been in the business for a long time and was a shrewd person. He shook his head when he thought of something.
“I think you’re overthinking things. There might be an inside story to this matter.”
What inside story? Liu Tongjia was already in a depressed mood. Now, she felt even more uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong with my son? He didn’t let his illegitimate daughter marry Huo Yifan, but let his illegitimate daughter marry Jin Yao? Is he looking down on him?”
Huo Mingguang froze for a moment, then he glanced at Liu Tongjia.
“Are you… standing up for Jinyao?”
This was a rare occurrence. How many years had it been?
“Who wants to stand up for him?” Liu Tongjia didn’t want to admit it, but her mood was already affected. I just can’t stand to see their family have such double standards.”
“Is that so?” Huo Mingguang’s voice was calm. He had been married to Liu Tongjia for many years. How could he not know what she was thinking at this moment?
It was fine to disdain her own child, but it wasn’t okay for others to disdain own child.
“Let Jinyao know later that this place is close to the old residence, so tell him to come home to live.”
“I don’t want to. If you want to tell him, go ahead and tell him.”
Liu Tongjia didn’t respond. She saw Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao standing together hand in hand from afar. They seemed very intimate, and she felt a little suffocated.
If Su Peizhen wasn’t good enough for Huo Yifan, was Su Qingsang was good enough for Huo Jinyao?
As Liu Tongjia thought of this, her voice became colder.
“He can’t wait to go home now anyway. He has a wife, so how could he care about his parents?”
Huo Mingguang froze for a moment, then he suddenly smiled again. His wife was good at everything, but she had a sharp tongue despite being soft-hearted.
Forget it, forget it. He should go and talk to him.
… ..
Su Qingsang looked at Li Qianxue with eyes full of reluctance.
“Mom, can’t you stay for a few more days?”
Two days had passed since the anniversary, and Li Qianxue had accompanied Su Qingsang for two days. She had booked a flight for today, and she would fly away in half an hour.
“Mom also wants to, but the company really has something for me to attend to, so I have to go back.”
Li Qianxue raised her hand and caressed Su Qingsang’s cheeks. Her eyes were a little emotional. “Alright, flying to Lin City to Rong City only takes two hours. If there’s a chance next time, I’ll come and visit you. You can also go back to Lin City.”
“Okay.”
“After Yuxin’s college entrance exam is over, you can come back and stay for a few days. The three of us will find a place to go out and play.”
“Okay.” Su Qingsang nodded. Her eyes were already red.
Wanting to say something, Li Qianxue looked at her, but she stopped herself. A few times, she wanted to ask Su Qingsang why she was looking at Xiang Caiping, but in the end, she remained silent.
Just as she had told Su Peizhen, it was actually a good thing that Su Qingsang valued relationships. Although she didn’t like her contacting Xiang Caiping or her looking at Xiang Caiping.
“Qingsang, if Peizhen really bullys you, you must tell me.”
“Mom, you’re overthinking things. How could she bully me?”
Su Qingsang thought about what happened at the anniversary party. Huo Jinyao told her everything.
Li Qianxue’s eyes were filled with obvious worry. Only when she truly recognized her daughter did she realize that Su Qingsang was a pure-hearted and forthright person.
Su Peizhen might not have been a bad person at heart, but now that she had gone astray, she was probably no longer the daughter she used to be.
“Alright, don’t send me off. I’m going in.”
Li Qianxue was about to walk towards the VIP corridor when Su Qingsang suddenly stopped her.
“Mom.”
“Yes?”
“My dad –”
Upon seeing Li Qianxue frown the moment she heard the mention of Su Chenghui, Su Qingsang cleared her throat.
