To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Nobody Can Answer My Question

She smiled bitterly with an almost self-mocking expression on her face. She said, “I’ve known since I was very young that I am not liked by the Su Family. Aunt Li has no blood tie with me, but she had to raise me anyway. Of course, she hates me. As for Su Chenghui, even though I call him dad, I know he doesn’t treat me really treat me like his daughter.

“All these years, I have been okay with that. It just confused me a little. If they disliked me so much, why did they still take me home? Why didn’t they just send me away to an orphanage or to a poorer family? They would be happier without my presence, wouldn’t they?” Su Qingsang asked the questions that had always been in her mind out loud.

Such questions had puzzled Su Qingsang, but nobody had ever offered her an answer.

“As for what just happened, I’m not worried about Qiu Yanbo. I’m worried about the Li family and the Su family,” Su Qingsang said.

“Perhaps they will not come after me, but the Su Family did raise me. I don’t want to have substantial conflicts with them. Do you understand?” Su Qingsang asked.

Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang. She was so beautiful and gentle. Her eyes were so clear.

He understood her feelings, so he held her in his arms again and patted her back gently.

“My wife is so kind. You don’t need to worry. Qiu Yanbo was responsible for the whole thing. The Su Family or the Li Family can’t blame it on you,” Huo Jinyao explained.

Also, he wasn’t going to give them any chance to embarrass Su Qingsang.

She was the one that Huo Jinyao wanted to protect.

Su Qingsang pressed her lips into a line and nodded. “We won’t talk about that anymore then. Let’s go and have a meal.”

“Okay. You have to promise me though, that you won’t think about it anymore. The whole thing is basically none of your business,” Huo Jinyao replied.

I wish it really was none of my business.

Su Qingsang shook her head and decided to leave it alone for now.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and felt really uncomfortable thinking about Qiu Yanbo.

Although he had gotten back at him a little in front of Su Qingsang, such a punishment was too light for him.

It seemed that the Qiu Family had gotten off too easily lately. Now, Qiu Yanbo had time to do something that to bother Su Qingsang.

It was time for Huo Jinyao to find something for Qiu Yanbo to do.

…

Su Qingsang stayed at home for two days before she got back to work.

The moment she stepped inside the hospital she got the notice.

Given the shock that the medical team suffered at the landslide and their excellent performance, there would be an awards ceremony on Friday.

In addition to the ceremony, they also got an extra month of merit pay.

Su Qingsang had just sat down when Shi Mengwan called.

“What’s up? Have you finished at work?” Shi Mengwan asked.

“I’m almost done. What is it?” Su Qingsang replied.

“Good girl. I haven’t seen you for a couple of days and you’ve become a hero,” Shi Mengwan said.

“What are you talking about?” Su Qingsang asked.

“What do you think? You haven’t seen the news these past two days?” Shi Mengwan asked in response.

“What news?” Su Qingsang asked.

Su Qingsang really didn’t watch the news. She didn’t understand what Shi Mengwan was saying.

“Someone posted your photo online. You are famous now,” Shi Mengwan said.

“Weibo?” Su Qingsang asked.

Su Qingsang had been too busy to check Weibo the past several days.

“You’d better have a look.” Shi Mengwan sounded a bit resentful. “Am I still your best friend? You didn’t tell me you had gone through such an ordeal,” Shi Mengwan said.

“I was too busy.” Su Qingsang explained.

It was true. She was so busy that she had forgotten to contact Shi Mengwan.

“Too busy huh? I have to find out what happened to you through Weibo,” Shi Mengwan said.

“What’s going on? Why am I on Weibo?” Su Qingsang asked.
