To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 303
Chapter 303: I Always Stand By the Woman I Love
“Sorry, that is my only condition.”
Su Chenghui felt an ache in his forehead. Glaring at Huo Jinyao, he couldn’t believe that he could behave so capriciously, “You see, Qingsang is fine. What’s more, the patient’s family should be blamed for this issue. Is it necessary to take it so seriously and let such a small dispute between young generations affect the cooperation and the relationship between two enterprises?”
“No, this is not a small dispute,” Huo Jinyao corrected Su Chenghui. “Maybe you didn’t see Qingsang’s wound. She got a big bruise, and that really makes me feel so sad. I am a person who has no goal except protecting the one I love. I suggest you to persuade Su Peizhen to quickly apologize to Qingsang instead of wasting time and debating with me.”
Su Chenghui knew that there was no further room for negotiation and he was extremely annoyed. “Huo Jinyao, is that your own opinion or Qingsang’s?”
“Both of ours. I can represent Qingsang.” Huo Jiyao was not afraid of Su Chenghui’s dissatisfaction. “In fact, you should be glad that Mrs. Su didn’t get involved in this issue. Otherwise, I would not have let it go so easily.”
“Okay, very good.” Su Chenghui was so furious that he turned around and left without hesitation.
Huo Jinyao believed that Su Chenghui was a wise man that knew how to deal with this issue after their conversation.
…
When he got home, he found Su Qingsang with Xiang Caiping and Sister Lu in the kitchen. They were talking and laughing cheerfully, although he had no idea about what they were talking about.
Huo Jinyao smiled and looked in the direction of the kitchen. This was utterly different from the Huo Family kitchen, for it was full of the happiness of an ordinary family and daily life.
It was not a big house. No servants cleaned it spotlessly, and no servants were afraid to speak too loudly just because Liu Tongjia was home.
It felt like a home, a house full of ordinary happiness.
“Hey? You back?” Su Qingsang happened to see Huo Jinyao standing there out of the corner of her eye, so she washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
“Guess what we are cooking today.”
“Dumplings.”
“Geez, you already saw them?”
“No, I smelled them.” The heavy smell of Chinese chives revealed the answer as soon as he walked through the door.
Su Qingsang murmured, “Do you hate the smell of chives?”
“Not at all.”
“That’s great.” Su Qingsang smiled and blurted out, “You know? Chives are called the aphrodisiac vegetable, good for the body, especially for men. You should eat more.”
She didn’t realize what she had just said, but Huo Jinyao squinted at her.
Aphrodisiac? How could she say that so naturally in front of me?
Su Qingsang would learn the consequences of her words at night, but not now.
The three women were almost finished making dumplings, and the last step was just to put the dumplings into boiling water.
Since they couldn’t finish all the dumplings they had made, Su Qingsang proposed to invite Sister Lu to stay and eat together.
After boiling the dumplings, Su Qingsang did not forget to carry a plate of them to Sister Wang, their neighbor.
After Su Qingsang came back, the four people sat down around the table.
“Come on. Let’s eat dumplings.” Xiang Caiping was really delighted. She stood up to serve Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao.
“Aunt, please have a seat. We can do it by ourselves.”
“It’s okay.” Almost half a month had passed since Xiang Caiping had come to Lin City. Her situation was much better than it had been in that she had was in a great mood, and she felt more comfortable staying in her hometown.
No one could tell how satisfied she felt while being accompanied by both her daughter and daughter-in-law.
“You should eat more. Work’s tough, huh?” Su Qingsang put a dumpling in Huo Jinyao’s bowl.
She did that without further consideration, taking no notice of the complicated look on Huo Jinyao’s face.
Does she really think I should eat more of these aphrodisiac vegetables?
