“What do I know? Let me tell you, I know a lot more.” Huo Yifan put down his hand that was lifted up to hit Su Peizhen. “I also know that he’s doing it for publicity. He’s constantly donating resources to the disaster area, and he’s still staying there as a volunteer. What’s wrong? “So what?”

Huo Jinyao knew how to play the good guy. What disaster relief? It was all because Su Qingsang was there.

“So what?” Su Peizhen almost laughed at him. “Are you trying to tell me that deliberately you’re letting go of such a good opportunity when you know that Huo Jinyao isn’t in Rong City?”

“What opportunity?” Huo Yifan looked at Su Peizhen with his eyes wide open. “Tell me, what other opportunity do I have?”

He had already been kicked out by Old Master Huo. What opportunity did he have?

“Huo Jinyao is in C City. There was an earthquake in C City.”

Su Peizhen stared at Huo Yifan’s face. She didn’t believe that he didn’t think of it. “It’s true that you were kicked out of the Tianyu Group, but it hasn’t been that long. Who knows?”

“Who knows?” Huo Yifan sneered. “People who should know all know. What do you think?”

Su Peizhen rolled her eyes. She took two steps forward and grabbed Huo Yifan by the collar of his shirt.

“No wonder you can’t beat Huo Jinyao. With your cowardice, you’d be dreaming if you wanted to beat Huo Jinyao.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’m cowardly. Huo Jinyao isn’t cowardly. If Huo Jinyao isn’t cowardly, why are you here? Go find him. But the problem is –”

Huo Yifan glanced at Su Peizhen with contempt and sneered, “He doesn’t like you.”

Su Peizhen was annoyed and raised her hand to slap Huo Yifan again.

This time, her slap missed him. Huo Yifan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t you simply want me to take over the Tianyu Group? You want to be the wife of the Tianyu Group’s president, so you can get the best of Su Qingsang, right?”

“So what if I do?” Su Peizhen looked him in the eye. “Can you give it to me?”

“Of course. But the premise is that Huo Jinyao dies first. Would you dare to do it?”

Su Peizhen laughed. She stared at Huo Yifan and said in a slightly cold voice, “Huo Yifan, I won’t harm myself just to harm my enemy. Let me tell you. I’m a person who can do anything except anything illegal.”

This had happened before in Lin City.

“It’s true that I don’t like Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao, but I’m not willing to do anything just to get rid of them.” Huo Yifan. You have to understand that only when you have freedom will you have the chance to get Tianyu Group. If you don’t have freedom… Even if you get Tianyu Group, you can only stay in jail.”

“Then what else is there to say?” Huo Yifan let go of her hand and pushed her away. “If Huo Jinyao doesn’t die, I’ll never have a chance. What else can I say?”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Su Peizhen took a step forward and looked at Huo Yifan. “The last time I went to the Huo family to look for grandfather, grandfather didn’t pay much attention to me. But I heard something.”

“What?”

“C City is a good place.” Her eyes filled with scheming calculation, Su Peizhen looked at Huo Yifan. “I’m willing to do this personally. However, during this period of time, go to grandfather and do what you have to do, whether it’s crying or begging. First, ask grandfather to let you return to Tianyu Group. If that doesn’t work, go and beg your uncle. Huo Jinyao doesn’t have a good relationship with his parents. However, your uncle should still have a good impression of you. Go and beg your uncle. No matter what method you use, get them to bring you back to Tianyu Group. Leave the rest to me.”

“Leave it to you?” Su Peizhen’s words made Huo Yifan raise his eyebrows. “What exactly do you plan to do? If you didn’t want to get rid of Huo Jinyao, then how could you achieve that?”

“If you don’t believe in my abilities, you don’t have to do as I say.”

Su Peizhen brushed her hair behind her head. “In short, your opportunity is right in front of you. If you can’t join Tianyu Group, then all my previous efforts will be in vain.”

“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” Huo Yifan went forward and pinched her chin. “If you can really make Huo Jinyao lose the desire to deal with the company’s matters, then I have a way to get Tianyu Group. When that time comes, I’ll definitely marry you into the Huo family and make you the wife of the president of Tianyu Group.”

“Alright, I’ll wait.” As Su Peizhen spoke, she waved Huo Yifan’s hand away and took out a document from the bag she brought with her.

“Here.”

“What’s this?”

“It’s a gift for Old Master Huo to help you ask for forgiveness.” Su Peizhen narrowed her eyes. “You didn’t think that the Old Master would let you return without you doing anything, did you?”

Huo Yifan took out the document and looked at it. His expression immediately changed.

“How did you get it?”

“You don’t have to care how I got it. No matter what, with this gift, you’ll naturally be able to return to Tianyu Group. When you go back, keep a low profile. But this project must be done beautifully and well. Otherwise, you still won’t have a place in Tianyu Group.”

Huo Yifan sized up Su Peizhen from head to toe. He couldn’t help but approach her and kiss her cheek lightly.

“Woman, I really feel that my brother was blind for chosing your sister over you.”

“Of course he’s blind.” Su Peizhen sneered. Her abilities and methods were far superior to those of Su Qingsang’s.

Only a man with no taste like Huo Jinyao would treat Su Qingsang like a treasure.

“He’s blind, but I’m not blind.”

As Huo Yifan spoke, he picked up Su Peizhen and pulled her clothes.

“What are you doing? You still have the mood for that at a time like this?”

“The more I feel in the mood for that at a time like this. Don’t worry, with this gift here, the Old Master will definitely agree to let me return to Tianyu Group.”

…

Staring at the lights in front of them, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao held hands as they stood on a slope.

It had been more than twenty days since the earthquake. The two of them had also been helping out for a week.

The situation in the disaster area had basically stabilized, and the injured had all been taken care of. As for the lives that had already been lost, they couldn’t control.

The higher-ups were very satisfied with the performance of their medical team. Now that the situation was stable, the local hospitals that were adjacent to C City had sent people over to help.

Now, their mission was considered to have been completed and arrangements had been made for them to leave.

The flight was scheduled for tomorrow morning. The airport in C City was damaged in the earthquake. It couldn’t be used for the time being.

They had to take a helicopter to N City first. Then, they would transfer from N City to Rong City.

When the two of them boarded the helicopter the next day, they didn’t expect that the person who came to pick them up would be Zhang Yichen.

“Uncle?”

“Uncle.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Zhang Yichen. A week had passed. Zhang Yichen seemed to have recovered from his injuries. His complexion had recovered to a healthy tan color. He looked much more energetic.

He was wearing a military green shirt. His sleeves were rolled up and his strong arms were exposed.

“Uncle, have you recovered from your injury?” Huo Jinyao sized up Zhang Yichen carefully. He seemed to be in healthy spirits. He seemed to have really recovered.

“Yes.” Zhang Yichen nodded, but his gaze didn’t fall on Su Qingsang. “I just happen to be going to N City as well.”

“You’ve been here for a long time?”

“I’ve been here for two days.” There were many things to do in the disaster area. As a soldier, he had his own responsibilities that he couldn’t escape.

“Isn’t your injury still unhealed yet? Why didn’t you rest for a while more?” Huo Jinyao’s voice was filled with concern. “Did great-aunt agree to you recklessly doing this?”

“I’ve already recovered.”

With a slightly cold voice, Zhang Yichen gestured with his eyes for them to sit properly.

Other than Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang, there were also colleagues from Su Qingsang’s hospital who had come over this time. They knew that Huo Jinyao was very capable, but they didn’t expect that soldiers would also know him.

Everyone boarded the helicopter. Very soon, the helicopter flew up.

Su Qingsang sat next to Huo Jinyao. She looked out of the plane.

Before they came, it was a beautiful and prosperous city. When she looked over now, she could only see ruins.

She wasn’t in a good mood. Huo Jinyao shook her hand, and she turned to look at him. She shook her head slightly to show that she was fine.

In less than a month, she had experienced life and death, and she had seen through life and death.

Although she couldn’t completely accept it, she was much calmer now than when she had just faced it.

Zhang Yichen kept his eyes on the front, as if he did not see Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang holding hands.

When they reached City N, the plane landed at the airport. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were the last to get off the plane.

Huo Jinyao went down first and reached out his hand to Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang jumped off the plane with her hand in his.

When she turned to face Zhang Yichen, Su Qingsang nodded very politely. “Thank you, Uncle. Goodbye, Uncle.”

Zhang Yichen responded coldly. Su Qingsang turned around and left. Before she left, her gaze swept across Zhang Yichen’s wrist.

There was a scar that looked very new. That was something she hadn’t seen before.

Huo Jinyao placed his hand on her shoulder in a timely manner. He also thanked Zhang Yichen. “Thank you, Uncle. If you’re free, come to Rong City this week. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I reckon that we’ll be very busy lately and I won’t have the time to go to Rong City.”

They all knew that Zhang Yichen’s unit was in C City. Before this matter was completely resolved, he was afraid that he wouldn’t have the time to return to Rong City.

Huo Jinyao was just being polite. In fact, he really didn’t want to see Zhang Yichen right now. Even if he was his own Uncle.

The two of them didn’t return to Rong City with Sun Huiya and the others. Instead, they boarded the plane to Lin City.

Li Qianxue knew that Su Qingsang had experienced an earthquake. She was so worried that she almost followed them there.

If Huo Jinyao hadn’t contacted her in time and told her that Su Qingsang’s condition was stable, Li Qianxue would have gone to the disaster area without caring about anything else.

When she heard that Su Qingsang didn’t return to Rong City but stayed in C City, she was very worried.

However, Su Qingsang acted as if nothing had happened. She called her every day to tell her that she was safe. She didn’t mention anything about the situation in the disaster area.

Just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean that Li Qianxue wouldn’t know. How many aftershocks had happened, and what changes would there be were reported on television, on the news, and on the internet every day.

Under such circumstances, Su Qingsang still had to stay there. How could Li Qianxue not be worried?

She followed the news every day, and after the communication was restored, she asked Su Qingsang to contact her every day. But even so, Li Qianxue was still extremely worried.

Now that she saw Su Qingsang standing in front of her unharmed, Li Qianxue hugged her and gave her back a couple of gentle smacks in mock anger.

“You really have guts, and you don’t even listen to me anymore. I told you to go home, but you didn’t. Do you know that you scared me to death?”

When she found out that Su Qingsang had experienced an earthquake, she wanted nothing more than to have her come back right away. However, Su Qingsang didn’t come back and even dragged Huo Jinyao along to recklessly mess around.

“Mom, I’m fine now, right?”

Su Qingsang’s eyes were slightly red. She was truly grateful that she had narrowly escaped death.

“You’re not one to talk. You’ve already lost so much weight.”

Li Qianxue glared at Huo Jinyao as she spoke. She wanted to criticize him for not taking good care of Su Qingsang.
