Grandfather Li furrowed his brows as he thought about Huo Jinyaoâs chess skills.
âWife, drink some soup.â
Huo Jinyao was very comfortable in his own skin, even when he was being stared at and assessed by others.
They didnât know what he was thinking. He grabbed food for Su Qingsang and filled her bowl with soup.
Su Qingsang felt very awkward, but Huo Jinyao didnât care how everyone was looking at him. He did what he pleased.
At last, Su Qingsang pretended to not notice or care about everyone elseâs gazes.
Su Peizhen was fed up with the two of them and glanced at Su Yuxin. She saw that he looked relieved expression after having seen Huo Jinyaoâs actions. She suddenly felt aggravated.
The meal ended without the situation changing.
They were supposed to admire the moon together after the meal, but the weather wasnât too great. Although it wasnât raining, it was very cloudy. They couldnât even see a shadow of the moon.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao got up together to bid farewell and Grandfather Li told Huo Jinyao to follow him into the bookroom.
Su Yuxin had gone back to his own room and Su Peizhen had hooked arms with Li Qianxue to express she wanted to go out and admire the moon with her.
âAdmire what? Thereâs no moon.â
âI think I saw it come out. Mother, come.â
Su Peizhen didnât care and pulled Li Qianxue outside. They sat down on the swings.
It was very quiet now. The maids backed down after they had delivered snacks and tea. Su Peizhen informed her mother of what she had found out.
âReally?â Li Qianxue scrunched her eyebrows. She was more than forty years old, but her face made her look like she was in her early thirties. A fierce look flashed across her face. âAre you sure?â
âOf course Iâm sure.â Su Peizhen thought of Su Yuxinâs behavior and became angry at once. âYounger brother has always been obedient and never paid any attention to Su Qingsang. How come the two came together after she got married? It is too suspicious.
âMother.â Su Peizhen held Li Qianxueâs arm. âWe raised her for twenty years, and originally thought that she was simple. Who knew she had a wild side?â
What a troublemaker.
âDonât bother with this for now.â Li Qianxue thought about the news she had just received. âNothing had happened when she was under my eye. Thereâs no reason I canât handle her now.â
âMother, of course, I believe you. But about Su Yuxin...â
âChildâs play. What do they know?â A cold expression flashed across Li Qianxueâs eyes. âAfter his exams, weâll have him go study overseas, no matter what schools he gets into. As for Su Qingsang...â
Li Qianxue hadnât attacked Su Qingsang before because she felt that it was unnecessary and too low. She definitely wouldnât go easy on her if Su Qingsang forgot her place and offended her.
âAlright.â Li Qianxue patted Su Peizhenâs hands. âThese things are not for you to worry about. You are about to get engaged to Yanbo and your father and I are keeping an eye on the company. Focus on your relationship with Yanbo in the meantime.â
âMother, donât worry. Yanbo isnât like those outsiders.â
âMhm.â
Li Qianxue went back to her room and Su Chenghui had gone back to the room after having finished talked with Grandfather Li. He saw Li Qianxue enter the room and acted as if he didnât see her. He grabbed his pajamas and went into the washroom.
âSu Chenghui, stop right there.â Li Qianxue stood in front of him, determined. âWhat did father talk to you about?â
