To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 308
Chapter 308: I’m Going To Thank You First
Su Peizhen stopped speaking. It was interesting if that was how things really were.
Su Qingsang was probably still in the dark, right?
After calming down, she was back to being the glamorous daughter of the Su family. She took a glass, poured some wine for herself and clinked glasses with Qiu Junjiao. “No matter what the outcome is, I’m going to thank you first.”
“You’re welcome.” Qiu Junjiao nodded and continued to speak in an unreserved manner. “I, too, don’t want to see that illegitimate child in your family running around seeming pleased with herself. There are always rules to follow in this world, am I right?”
“Of course.”
Su Peizhen understood the meaning behind Qiu Junjiao’s words. There was also an illegitimate child in the Qiu family. Wouldn’t the world descend into chaos if illegitimate children were allowed to step out of line?
A clink of crystal wine glasses rang throughout the room. Su Peizhen’s lips curved upwards. Su Qingsang, let’s just wait and see.
…
Lin City has just entered the beginning of winter. The weather turned colder day by day. In just a blink of an eye, it was Christmas Eve.
The moment Su Chenghui got home, he saw Li Qianxue decorating the house busily. When he saw those decorations, he was suddenly reminded that Christmas was fast approaching.
Christmas was a special day. Besides being a day for festivities, it was also Su Peizhen’s birthday.
“It’s a little higher on that side.” Li Qianxue was looking straight ahead, motioning for the servant to raise the ornament a bit.
She turned around when she saw Su Chenghui at the door. “Why did you come home so early today?”
“It’s Peizhen’s birthday party tomorrow. Who did you invite?”
Su Peizhen’s birthday party was always a big event. Besides business partners of the Li Family, Su Peizhen’s affluent girlfriends would also be invited.
“Just like last year, those who should be invited already are.” After organizing so many birthday parties for Su Peizhen over the years, Li Qianxue knew just what to do.
Su Chenghui had no objection to that. Li Qianxue was talented in this aspect — of that he was sure.
However, this year, things were a little different. “Let’s invite Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang too.”
Li Qianxue’s expression changed for the worse instantly. Suddenly, her lips curved upwards as she looked at Su Chenghui with a condescending expression on her face.
“We haven’t invited her all these years. Why should we invite her this year?”
“Su Qingsang wasn’t married the year before this. This year, she’s married, and her husband is Huo Jinyao. Do you still think that we shouldn’t invite her?”
“This isn’t even a big party. We’re just inviting some of Peizhen’s friends to come over for a fun gathering. At a moment like this, must you really invite Su Qingsang over to be in Peizhen’s way?”
“How would she be in her way? Su Qingsang is Su Peizhen’s younger sister after all. Furthermore—”
“Enough.” Li Qianxue glared at her husband. “You made Peizhen apologize to that brat a few days ago. Do you really think I didn’t know about that? What? Are you trying to be on Su Qingsang’s side now? Let me tell you this — dream on.”
“Can you make more sense? Tianyu Group is now working with the Li Corporation. Even if you don’t want to see Su Qingsang, you should see the value in inviting Huo Jinyao, right?”
“You know better than me whether this is because of Huo Jinyao or the fact that your heart aches on Su Qingsang’s behalf.”
Li Qianxue let out a cold snort. “No matter what it is, I do not want to invite Su Qingsang to our daughter’s birthday party. If you want to, go ahead and plan another one.”
“You—” Su Chenghui dipped his head. “You are unreasonable.”
As she watched Su Chenghui walk off without turning back, Li Qianxue’s expression grew even harder. She simply could not accept the idea of extending the invitation to Su Qingsang.
He should be utterly grateful that she didn’t stir up trouble for Su Qingsang. As for getting along nicely with her? That was simply impossible.
