Chapter 587 - What Did I Do Wrong? (1/2)

The commotion at the entrance was obviously caused by Su Peizhen.

“Speak of the Devil.” Old Master Huo naturally saw Su Peizhen, who came in with Huo Yifan, as well.

He had a smile on his face and looked at Su Chenghui with a teasing gaze. “Nephew, I’m afraid you came to Rong City this time because of Peizhen, right?”

Because of Peizhen? What about Peizhen?

Su Chenghui still didn’t understand the situation, so he wasn’t in a hurry to answer.

He kept his gaze on Su Peizhen.

He didn’t know Huo Yifan, who was standing next to Su Peizhen, but it didn’t affect the expression on Su Peizhen’s face when he first saw her.

Su Peizhen always knew what she wanted. Her facial features seductive and glamorous, she had a different sort of beauty from Su Qingsang.

In contrast to Su Qingsang’s golden gown, Su Peizhen had chosen to wear an extremely festive red gown today.

With a slim-cut waist and a long tail, the gown had a single shoulder neckline design. Su Peizhen, who had entered the venue in her ten-centimeter high heels, appeared extremely ostentatious at this moment.

She was dazzling, glamorous, and s.e.xy.

Everyone’s gaze fell on her. It wasn’t just because the person beside her was Huo Yifan, the vice president of the Tianyu Group. It was also because of the aura she gave off.

She held Huo Yifan’s hand and walked towards Old Master Huo step by step.

Huo Yifan held Su Peizhen’s hand with one hand and gently approached her ear at the same time.

“I told you, I would make you the most dazzling one today.”

“Thank you.” The smile on her face became more and more meaningful, Su Peizhen looked straight ahead. “But I can do it without you.”

“I like your confidence.”

Huo Yifan smiled. As the two of them were talking, they had already pa.s.sed through the crowd and stood in front of Old Master Huo.

“Grandfather Huo.”

“Grandfather.”

Su Peizhen greeted first, and the smile on her face was very cordial. “Sorry, I’m a little late. Please don’t take offense, Grandfather Huo.”

“Of course not.” Maintaining the smile on his face, Old Master Huo looked at Su Peizhen. “Peizhen is very well-dressed today, this festive occasion.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa. Yifan picked out this gown. I didn’t expect him to have such good taste.”

“My taste naturally would be good.”

As Huo Yifan spoke, his gaze finally turned to Su Chenghui. He wasn’t the only one. Su Peizhen also saw Su Chenghui.

She curved her lips slightly and took a step forward.

“Dad, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

Coincidence?

Su Chenghui didn’t think it was a coincidence.

He remembered that he had been calling Su Peizhen, but she hadn’t picked up a single call.

What did the man beside him call Old Master Huo? Grandfather? So he was also a member of the Huo Family?

What was his relations.h.i.+p with Huo Jinyao? And why was he with Su Peizhen?

And why was Su Peizhen with another member of the Huo Family?

“Dad.” The smile on Su Peizhen’s face didn’t fade despite Su Chenghui’s stunned expression. Instead, she took a step forward and stood directly in front of Su Chenghui.

“Are you so happy that you forgot how to speak when you saw me here?”

Su Chenghui came back to his senses and looked at Su Peizhen, then looked at Huo Yifan, who was behind her.

“Peizhen, this is –”

“h.e.l.lo, Uncle.” Huo Yifan stepped forward at the right time and reached out his hand to Su Chenghui.

“My name is Huo Yifan. I’m Huo Jinyao’s cousin. I’m the Vice President of Tianyu Group now.”

Su Chenghui looked at Huo Yifan. His bearing wasn’t bad, and his temperament wasn’t bad either. There was nothing wrong about his height and looks. The Huo family had good genes, and their descendants were all elites among men.

However, the man in front of him had a shrewd look in his eyes, and there was a hint of frivolity in his expression.

Compared to Huo Jinyao, he was a notch lower.

All of these thoughts flashed through Su Chenghui’s mind in an instant. Towards the hand that Huo Yifan extended out, he also politely extended his hand to shake his hand.

“h.e.l.lo, Uncle.”

Su Chenghui was probably younger than Huo Mingliang, so it was appropriate for Huo Yifan to call him that.

He released his hand, took a step back, and stood next to Su Peizhen again.

“I’ve heard Peizhen mention you many times. I finally have the chance to meet you today.”

Huo Yifan gently placed his big hand on Su Peizhen’s shoulder, then he smiled at Su Chenghui sincerely.

“Since you have the opportunity to be in Rong City this time, why don’t we pick a time to discuss the matter between me and Peizhen later?”

Su Chenghui’s expression was calm. He was an extremely clever person.

After he listened to Huo Yifan’s self-introduction, the way he looked at Su Peizhen was a little different.

Su Peizhen knew that he had come to Rong City, but she deliberately didn’t answer his call.

She chose to appear at such an event because she was certain that he wouldn’t publicly diss her?

“The matter between you and Peizhen?” Su Chenghui’s voice sounded indifferent. “Do you mean the matter between the two of you, or something else?”

“Of course it’s something else.”Huo Yifan smiled brightly. “To be able to bring the elders of both sides together, it’s the discussion of the marriage between me and Peizhen, of course.”

Marriage?

Su Chenghui looked at Huo Yifan, and then at Su Peizhen. Finally, his gaze fell on Su Peizhen’s face, but his question was directed at Huo Yifan.

“How long have you two known each other? How long have you two been dating?”

“We’ve known each other for more than three months. As for dating, we only started dating recently.”

Huo Yifan told the truth. However, Su Chenghui furrowed his brows and stared at Su Peizhen’s face without blinking.

“You’ve known each other for three months? You two only started dating recently, but you’ve already decided to get married?”

“Is there a problem, Dad?” Su Peizhen smiled calmly and put her hands on Huo Yifan’s arms. “Do you think it’s too fast? But we don’t think it’s fast at all.”

His gaze now filled with pure unfamiliarity towards her, Su Chenghui looked at Su Peizhen.

This was his daughter. He had pampered her and had protected her for more than twenty years. He had never even scolded her harshly.

But now, he felt as if he didn’t even recognize this daughter anymore.

“You’ve already decided?”

“Yes.” Su Peizhen smiled brightly and looked at Huo Yifan. The love in her eyes was obvious. “If we weren’t sure, why would Yifan bring me to such an occasion?”

Su Chenghui’s expression was serious. He was just about to say something when on the other side, Old Master Huo also heard the commotion.

He laughed out loud. “Good, good, good. I’m old, so I like to see my children happy. If Yifan and Peizhen could really be together… It would be a joyous occasion. Nephew, since we have time today, we can talk about this properly.”

Su Chenghui didn’t respond to Old Master Huo’s words. He just stared at Su Peizhen, almost as if he could see the depths of her heart.

Su Peizhen didn’t avoid his gaze. Instead, she looked at Su Chenghui calmly.

Su Chenghui narrowed his eyes slightly. Before Su Peizhen could react, he suddenly reached out and pulled her to his side.

Before he pulled Su Peizhen away, Su Chenghui forced himself to maintain his composure. He turned around and looked at Old Master Huo.

“Grandfather, I’m sorry. I have something to discuss with my daughter. Please excuse us for a moment.”

“It’s okay. Help yourself.” Old Master Huo pointed to the side as he spoke. “The row of rooms at the back is specially prepared for guests to rest.”

“Okay. Thank you.”

After Su Chenghui said this, he pulled Su Peizhen’s hand and went to the back.

Su Peizhen wanted to pull her hand back, but Su Chenghui pulled her very tightly.

She was a little helpless and couldn’t break free. She could only let Su Chenghui take her to the back.

As they walked forward, from the corner of her eye, she saw Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue standing together. The graceful expression that she had maintained finally began to crack slightly.

Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue saw Su Peizhen walk in just now, but neither of them moved.

No matter what reason Su Peizhen had for being with Huo Yifan, they weren’t afraid.

Another reason was that as long as Su Peizhen didn’t cause trouble and didn’t take the initiative to provoke her, Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue wouldn’t take the initiative to do anything to her.

This was the tacit understanding between the mother and daughter that didn’t need to be explicitly stated.

Therefore, they watched as Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan walked towards Old Master Huo, and then watched as they exchanged pleasantries.

They watched as Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan banter with Su Chenghui, although they were far away and they couldn’t hear what they were saying.

However, Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang weren’t stupid. At this point, they could more or less guess what was going on.

Now that they saw Su Chenghui hurriedly pulling Su Peizhen away, the mother and daughter looked at each other. They didn’t understand what Su Chenghui was trying to do. What was he trying to do?

However, Li Qianxue was certain of one thing. Su Peizhen was indeed going to marry into the Huo family.

With a hint of worry in her eyes, she turned to face Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang seemed to know what she was thinking. With an indifferent expression, Su Qingsang pinched her hand.

“Mom, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

Whether or not Su Peizhen was really going to marry Huo Yifan didn’t matter to her at all.

Li Qianxue couldn’t help but be worried. Memories of Su Peizhen’s tears that day were still fresh in her mind.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about whether or not she was too cruel towards Su Peizhen?

But if she wasn’t cruel to Su Peizhen, then that would be cruel to Su Qingsang. If that was the case, she would be even more unwilling.

Su Chenghui didn’t notice the gazes of Li Qianxue and her daughter. His expression was serious as he held Su Peizhen’s hand and went all the way to the lounge at the back.

After he closed the door, Su Chenghui turned to face Su Peizhen.

He wasn’t in a hurry to speak. At this moment, his usually graceful and gentle eyes were piercing as they fell on Su Peizhen.
