To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 591

Chapter 591: You’re Really Going All Out
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Peizhen simply stood there. After Su Chenghui left, she finally couldn’t take it anymore.
“Old Master Huo, I’m not feeling well. I’ll go back and rest first.”
She used her last bit of grace to say this and quickly left.
Huo Yifan hurriedly said goodbye to Old Master Huo and quickly chased after him.
Not understanding how things had turned out like this, Old Master Huo simply sat there.
It was as if he finally realized that something was wrong.
“Big brother, this –”
Huo Yangyuan and Huo Yangxiu both looked at Old Master Huo. Old Master Huo waved his hand.
“I was too impatient. Forget it, let’s not talk about this for now.”
“Yes, yes,” Nian Chunya interjected. “If you ask me, there are a lot of good girls in Rong City. There’s no need to lower yourself to their level.”
Old Master Huo looked at him with a cold gaze. Nian Chunya was embarrassed for a moment and didn’t speak again.
..
Not long after Su Qingsang sent Li Qianxue away, she realized that Su Chenghui was leaving too.
“Dad, are you leaving already?”
With a complicated expression, Su Chenghui looked at Su Qingsang. He had just hurt his other daughter’s heart.
But even so, he did feel guilty towards Su Qingsang.
“Qingsang, I booked a plane ticket back to Lin City tomorrow. Your mother probably won’t stay in Rong City for long. You have to take good care of yourself.”
“Dad?”
“Qingsang, what happened in the past was all dad’s fault. I let you down.”
When he scolded Su Peizhen, who was he to speak?
A gentleman doesn’t hide his illegitimate family. He was guilty, and now he had to suffer such a result.
Sisters becoming enemies wasn’t what he wanted to see, but he was powerless to stop it.
“Dad, it’s all in the past. It’s okay.”
Su Chenghui didn’t know how to explain to her. He looked at Su Qingsang and suddenly reached out to hug her.
“Qingsang, don’t put yourself through this. Don’t let others put you through this either. If someone bullies you, you can tell me. Dad will definitely stand up for you.”
Su Qingsang was caught off guard by Su Chenghui’s embrace and was completely stunned.
She didn’t know how to react and just stood there dazedly.
Su Chenghui patted her back and thought about it for a long time before saying, “Be careful of Peizhen. She –”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but he believed that Su Qingsang would understand. Judging from Su Qingsang’s performance today, she wouldn’t let anyone bully her. In that regard, he could be more or less at ease.
He looked behind him. Huo Jinyao had arrived at some point and was standing behind Su Qingsang.
Su Chenghui gave him a look, a tacit look that they both understood. Huo Jinyao nodded. With guilt in his eyes, Su Chenghui let go of his hand and looked at Su Qingsang.
In the corridor, the cold wind from the air conditioner made one’s arms feel cold.
Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao after Su Chenghui left. “What happened to my dad?”
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and told her the latest news.
“Your dad rejected Grandpa’s proposal. He opposed Su Peizhen marrying into the Huo family.”
What?
Now, it was Su Qingsang’s turn to be shocked.
Huo Jinyao wasn’t the only one who got the news. Liu Tongjia got the news as well.
Liu Tongjia felt a little suffocated. Compared to Old Master Huo, who misunderstood, she knew Su Peizhen’s ulterior motives better.
She wanted to make things difficult for Su Qingsang and see Su Qingsang make a fool of herself.
On one hand, she was afraid that Su Qingsang would really make a fool of herself and embarrass the Huo family. On the other hand, she hated Su Peizhen for not knowing what to do.
It was such an important occasion, and only outsiders didn’t grasp her ulterior motives.
In the end, Su Qingsang handled it perfectly. She should feel relieved, but she felt uncomfortable again.
The better Su Qingsang behaved, the more uncomfortable she felt. Because she always thought of Su Qingsang, who was in Zhang Yichen’s arms.
That feeling made Liu Tongjia feel as if a fish bone was in her throat. It was really uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong?” Huo Mingguang noticed that Liu Tongjia’s expression wasn’t very pleasant. “Are you not feeling well?”
“No.” Liu Tongjia shook her head. She thought of something else. “That Su Chenghui is quite sensible. He knew that his daughter was an illegitimate daughter and wasn’t worthy of the Huo family, so he came to stop her. But isn’t he basically slapping our faces now?”
Su Peizhen was an illegitimate daughter and wasn’t worthy of Huo Yifan, but wasn’t Su Qingsang also considered an illegitimate daughter before? Instead, she married Huo Jinyao.
What was the meaning of this?
Could it be that in Su Chenghui’s heart, her son was no match for Huo Yifan?
Huo Mingguang had been in the business for a long time and was a shrewd person. He shook his head when he thought of something.
“I think you’re overthinking things. There might be an inside story to this matter.”
What inside story? Liu Tongjia was already in a depressed mood. Now, she felt even more uncomfortable.
“What’s wrong with my son? He didn’t let his illegitimate daughter marry Huo Yifan, but let his illegitimate daughter marry Jin Yao? Is he looking down on him?”
Huo Mingguang froze for a moment, then he glanced at Liu Tongjia.
“Are you… standing up for Jinyao?”
This was a rare occurrence. How many years had it been?
“Who wants to stand up for him?” Liu Tongjia didn’t want to admit it, but her mood was already affected. I just can’t stand to see their family have such double standards.”
“Is that so?” Huo Mingguang’s voice was calm. He had been married to Liu Tongjia for many years. How could he not know what she was thinking at this moment?
It was fine to disdain her own child, but it wasn’t okay for others to disdain own child.
“Let Jinyao know later that this place is close to the old residence, so tell him to come home to live.”
“I don’t want to. If you want to tell him, go ahead and tell him.”
Liu Tongjia didn’t respond. She saw Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao standing together hand in hand from afar. They seemed very intimate, and she felt a little suffocated.
If Su Peizhen wasn’t good enough for Huo Yifan, was Su Qingsang was good enough for Huo Jinyao?
As Liu Tongjia thought of this, her voice became colder.
“He can’t wait to go home now anyway. He has a wife, so how could he care about his parents?”
Huo Mingguang froze for a moment, then he suddenly smiled again. His wife was good at everything, but she had a sharp tongue despite being soft-hearted.
Forget it, forget it. He should go and talk to him.
… ..
Su Qingsang looked at Li Qianxue with eyes full of reluctance.
“Mom, can’t you stay for a few more days?”
Two days had passed since the anniversary, and Li Qianxue had accompanied Su Qingsang for two days. She had booked a flight for today, and she would fly away in half an hour.
“Mom also wants to, but the company really has something for me to attend to, so I have to go back.”
Li Qianxue raised her hand and caressed Su Qingsang’s cheeks. Her eyes were a little emotional. “Alright, flying to Lin City to Rong City only takes two hours. If there’s a chance next time, I’ll come and visit you. You can also go back to Lin City.”
“Okay.”
“After Yuxin’s college entrance exam is over, you can come back and stay for a few days. The three of us will find a place to go out and play.”
“Okay.” Su Qingsang nodded. Her eyes were already red.
Wanting to say something, Li Qianxue looked at her, but she stopped herself. A few times, she wanted to ask Su Qingsang why she was looking at Xiang Caiping, but in the end, she remained silent.
Just as she had told Su Peizhen, it was actually a good thing that Su Qingsang valued relationships. Although she didn’t like her contacting Xiang Caiping or her looking at Xiang Caiping.
“Qingsang, if Peizhen really bullys you, you must tell me.”
“Mom, you’re overthinking things. How could she bully me?”
Su Qingsang thought about what happened at the anniversary party. Huo Jinyao told her everything.
Li Qianxue’s eyes were filled with obvious worry. Only when she truly recognized her daughter did she realize that Su Qingsang was a pure-hearted and forthright person.
Su Peizhen might not have been a bad person at heart, but now that she had gone astray, she was probably no longer the daughter she used to be.
“Alright, don’t send me off. I’m going in.”
Li Qianxue was about to walk towards the VIP corridor when Su Qingsang suddenly stopped her.
“Mom.”
“Yes?”
“My dad –”
Upon seeing Li Qianxue frown the moment she heard the mention of Su Chenghui, Su Qingsang cleared her throat.
“Mom, let me tell you something.”
Su Qingsang told Li Qianxue about what Su Chenghui had done that day. Su Qingsang looked at her carefully.
“Dad was protecting me by doing this. And you know, Su Peizhen has a lot of pride. Now that my dad has given her a slap in the face, she must be devastated. So –”
“You don’t have to speak up for him.” Li Qianxue didn’t accept Su Chenghui’s kindness at all. “He did all those things. If it weren’t for him, none of these things would have happened today. No matter how much he did for you, it’s only right.”
“Mom –”
“Alright, stop talking about him. I don’t want to hear his name.”
Su Qingsang stopped talking. Li Qianxue turned around and walked straight to the VIP entrance. When her back was facing Su Qingsang, her expression wasn’t as calm as she appeared to be moments before.
What bad idea was Su Chenghui up to again?
Su Peizhen marrying Huo Yifan was more beneficial than harmful to Su Chenghui. Moreover, Su Peizhen was his daughter whom he had doted on since she was born.
Now, he actually abandoned her just like that?
Heh. Men.
Su Chenghui had already treated his own daughter that way, so how could he treat her with sincerity?
Su Chenghui had no idea that he wanted to make up for it. His actions due to guilt had once again caused Li Qianxue to misunderstand him.
This made his path of chasing after his wife even more difficult in the future.
After sending Li Qianxue away, Su Qingsang had to return to her life no matter how reluctant she was to do so.
Because Su Chenghui came to Rong City, Su Qingsang went to see Xiang Caiping again. She didn’t mean anything else. She just wanted to test whether Su Chenghui really had no feelings for Xiang Caiping.
If Su Chenghui came to look for Xiang Caiping, then she swore that no matter how much Su Chenghui did in the future, she wouldn’t say a word for him in front of Li Qianxue.
However, the result of the test made her more or less relieved. Xiang Caiping was also very resistant to Su Chenghui. She simply couldn’t bear to hear her mention Su Chenghui’s name.
That was good. It meant that Su Chenghui still had some sincerity towards Li Qianxue.
In reality, no matter who Su Chenghui was with, Su Qingsang planned to help no one and do nothing.
But she still hoped that Su Chenghui could really clearly think about who the person he loved was.
Putting all these things behind her, Su Qingsang returned to the hospital, her home, and her life in the Huo family’s old mansion.
However, she didn’t expect that she would be busy again soon.
..
Old Master Huo sat in the study. He looked at Huo Jinyao, who was sitting opposite him.
It had been a week since the anniversary celebration. Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan’s marriage didn’t continue to be carried out, as if it had been delayed just like that.
After returning to the Huo family’s mansion for the weekend, he still brought Su Peizhen over.
Old Master Huo was still polite on the surface, but he didn’t mention her and Huo Yifan’s marriage again.
Su Peizhen secretly felt resentful. She was holding back her anger, but she and Huo Yifan had successfully gotten the contract that they had been discussing privately.
Huo Jinyao had been waiting for Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan to sign the contract.
As soon as Huo Yifan signed the contract, Huo Jinyao came to see Old Master Huo with the contract.
“Jinyao, you came just in time. I have something to talk to you about.”
Old Master Huo saw the document bag in Huo Jinyao’s hand. “What do you think about the marriage between Su Peizhen and Yifan?”
After Su Chenghui had said those words the other day, with Old Master Huo’s age and experience, some things could be grasped just by thinking about them.
That was also the reason he was lukewarm to Su Peizhen that day.
“It doesn’t matter how I see it. What matters is, Grandpa, don’t you have already an answer?”
After Huo Jinyao said so, and Huo Jinyao suddenly smiled. “You rascal.”
“Grandpa, I’m here today for another matter.”
Huo Jinyao opened the document bag in his hand and took out all the documents inside. He placed them in front of Old Master Huo one by one.
Inside were not only the contracts that Huo Yifan had just signed with that company, but also all the information of the investigation.
Old Master Huo picked them up and took a rough look at them. His expression immediately changed.
By the time he had finished reading all the documents, his expression was already quite unsightly.
He panted heavily and his face was livid.
Huo Jinyao quickly got up and patted his chest. “Grandpa, don’t be angry. If you do this, I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell you what will happen next.”
Old Master Huo patted his chest and tried to calm down. When he calmed down, he looked at Huo Jinyao.
“You… you knew, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” Huo Jinyao said calmly. “I knew a long time ago. From the moment Su Peizhen planned to marry into the Huo family, I knew.”
“Good, very good.” Huo Jinyao’s hands were trembling. “You knew, but you didn’t tell me?”
Huo Jinyao’s expression didn’t change. “Grandpa, you should be glad that I’m only here to tell you, and not to hand this over to the board of Directors.”
Although the Huo family was the largest shareholder of Tianyu Group, they still had other shareholders.
If this evidence was handed over to the company, Huo Yifan would probably be in big trouble.
“That unfilial son of a b*tch. Unfilial son of a b*tch…”
Huo Jinyao cursed at him for a while. When he calmed down, he patted his chest and looked at Huo Jinyao.
“Tell me, is there anything else I don’t know?”
Huo Jinyao let go of his hand and returned to his seat.
“Grandpa, you already know about Su Peizhen and Su Qingsang’s background. I admit that Su Peizhen is a very capable person, and her methods are also very good. However, she’s too scheming and has a grudge against Qingsang. It’s impossible for her and Qingsang to get along well.”
“What do you mean? Do you mean that after she had taken over Qingsang’s identity for so many years she still doesn’t think it’s enough?”
“Grandpa, from our point of view, we would say that Su Peizhen has taken over Qingsang’s identity for more than twenty years. But from Su Peizhen’s point of view, she wouldn’t think that way. She would only think that why should she, originally a dignified young heiress, become an illegitimate daughter out of the blue?
In her heart, she wouldn’t think about what she had gotten before. She would only think about what she had lost now. And Qingsang is the culprit that caused her to lose everything.”
Old Master Huo’s face was cold and he didn’t say anything. Huo Jinyao sighed.
“She has a grudge in her heart. She has to let it out. To her, marrying Yifan is just a springboard.”
“Truthfully, you might not know what actually happened that day. Qingsang doesn’t know how to play the piano at all, so why did Su Peizhen let her go on stage?”
Huo Jinyao was an intelligent man, so that wasn’t something he didn’t grasp.
“Are you saying that she wants to marry into the Huo family to find an opportunity to settle the score with Qingsang?”
“Yes. Although I’m not sure what she’s planning to do, I’m sure that her motives aren’t pure.”
Old Master Huo didn’t say anything. Some things were tricky once they were exposed.
“Then you mean…”
“Grandpa, I’m not a person who can’t tolerate others. But some things cross my bottom line.”
“You want me to stop the marriage between Yifan and Su Peizhen?”
Old Master Huo no longer wanted Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan to be together.
“No.” Huo Jinyao shook his head. “I don’t want you to stop it. In fact, whether Su Peizhen marries Huo Yifan or not doesn’t matter to us.”
“Then –”
“Because after I kick Huo Yifan out of the Huo family, Huo Yifan will no longer be a member of the Huo family.”
Huo Jinyao stood up abruptly. “Jinyao, you –”
Huo Jinyao’s expression didn’t change, but his gaze was especially sharp. “Shouldn’t a traitor be kicked out of the family?”
“Jinyao, he’s your cousin.”
“That’s right. He’s my cousin, so I would just kick him out of the family.”
“Jinyao.” Old Master Huo was old, even though he knew that what Huo Yifan had done had harmed the company and the Huo family.
However, he was his grandson after all, and he wanted to see a peaceful family.
“Grandfather, actually, I have more stringent methods to deal with Huo Yifan, but I didn’t, because I thought that you wouldn’t want me to do that.”
He stood up, put away the documents on the table, and put them back into the document bag.
“But as for Huo Yifan, I want to teach him a lesson.”
Grandfather Huo’s face was red, and feeling very conflicted, he panted. “Jinyao, he’s your younger brother, your blood-related brother.”
“When he schemed against me, he didn’t treat me as a brother.”
Old Master Huo didn’t say anything. He cleared his throat and said in a trembling voice, “I know that this is his fault, but… but he doesn’t deserve to be completely cut out.”
“I didn’t ask him to be completely cut out. I will just ask him to leave the Tianyu Group and the Huo family.”
Huo Jinyao put away all the documents and tapped on the table lightly. “Grandpa, we can discuss other things, but this is the only thing we can’t discuss.”
Old Master Huo didn’t say anything. He looked at Huo Jinyao.
He had already grown up and was no longer the little boy who was willing to listen to him.
“Jinyao, is there no other way to solve this? Do we have to be so ruthless?”
