Chapter 301 - She Does Have The Guts
Chapter 301: She Does Have The Guts
Huo Jinyao had wiped his emotions from his face before he returned to the bedroom.
He sat on the bedside, his eyes on Su Qingsang’s face. She wore a frown and seemed formidable, but Su Qingsang did not notice that. At this moment, she was looking at her phone.
Huo Jinyao glanced at her phone and saw that Su Qingsang was text messaging with Shi Mengwan.
Shi Mengwan left before he came home, so he didn’t know that she had been here.
He got into bed and put an arm around Su Qinsang’s waist.
“Are you chatting with Shi Mengwan?” He whispered in her ear.
“Umm,” she responded. Shi Mengwan had something to say to Su Qingsang. She couldn’t say it earlier, so now she messaged her. She reminded Su Qingsang of something that the latter failed to notice by herself.
Si Qingsang had a vague feeling about those things but hadn’t been paying much attention to them, because she was busy recently, and was still adjusting to Xiang Caiping’s sudden appearance.
“What are you talking about?”
Su Qingsang pulled Huo Jinyao’s hand away from her waist. He didn’t touch her bruise, but the bruise was right below his hand.
“She reminded me not to let Aunty see my father or any other person from Su Family.”
Things might become troublesome if that happened.
Huo Jinyao nodded. He shared Shi Mengwan’s opinion about that.
“She is right. We had better not let that happen,” he nodded.
“I know,” Su Qingsang held his hand and said, “I have given her a hint about that. I think she knows it.”
She wasn’t worried that Xiang Caiping might bump into someone from the Su family. The house of the Su Family was an hour away from where she lived, and Li Family’s company was far away as well.
Xiang Caiping barely left the neighborhood since she came. Therefore, Su Qingsang figured that she understood it.
“Good. However, we still need to be careful. If she really meets someone from the family, we might be in trouble.”
If Su Chenghui really loved Xiang Caiping so deeply before, he might do something unwanted.
If that happened, the Li Family would not let him get away with it, especially Li Qianxue and Su Peizhen.
“What can I do?” Su Qingsang sighed. “My mother came all the way here. I can’t possibly send her away. She will probably live together with me from now on. I’ve thought about it. They’ll see each other sooner or later. I can only do my best to cope with what might happen by then.”
Huo Jinyao stayed silent. If that really happened, he would surely protect his wife and her mother, without giving the Su Family a chance to try hurting them.
…
Reading the e-mail on the screen of his phone, Huo Jinyao wore a fierce look in his eyes.
Su Peizhen? She did have some guts. How dare she hurt his wife? He gently drummed on the desk with his fingers, wondering if Su Peizhen did it alone or together with Li Qianxue.
Did Li Qianxue know that Xiang Caiping was back? Was she trying to ruin Su Qingsang’s career?
No, that did not look like something that Li Qianxue might do. It was a better fit for an impulsive and brainless person like Su Peizhen.
The truth could be easily found out. He only needed to make a trip to see the Su Family. But…
Huo Jinyao answered the internal call with a cold voice. “Give Li Family some trouble, but keep it quiet. We’re still in cooperation with them after all.”
As he expected, Su Chenghui found him in less than two days.
“Jinyao, what do you want?” he asked.
They had worked together a few times. Huo Jinyao was younger than he was, so Su Chenghui normally called him by his name in private conversations.
Huo Jinyao glanced at the secretary who was standing behind Su Chenghui, then waved a hand to signal for her to leave.
After that, he looked at Su Chenghui and said to him, “What are you talking about?”
