Huo Jinyao had wiped his emotions from his face before he returned to the bedroom.
He sat on the bedside, his eyes on Su Qingsangâs face. She wore a frown and seemed formidable, but Su Qingsang did not notice that. At this moment, she was looking at her phone.
Huo Jinyao glanced at her phone and saw that Su Qingsang was text messaging with Shi Mengwan.
Shi Mengwan left before he came home, so he didnât know that she had been here.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He got into bed and put an arm around Su Qinsangâs waist.
âAre you chatting with Shi Mengwan?â He whispered in her ear.
âUmm,â she responded. Shi Mengwan had something to say to Su Qingsang. She couldnât say it earlier, so now she messaged her. She reminded Su Qingsang of something that the latter failed to notice by herself.
Si Qingsang had a vague feeling about those things but hadnât been paying much attention to them, because she was busy recently, and was still adjusting to Xiang Caipingâs sudden appearance.
âWhat are you talking about?â
Su Qingsang pulled Huo Jinyaoâs hand away from her waist. He didnât touch her bruise, but the bruise was right below his hand.
âShe reminded me not to let Aunty see my father or any other person from Su Family.â
Things might become troublesome if that happened.
Huo Jinyao nodded. He shared Shi Mengwanâs opinion about that.
âShe is right. We had better not let that happen,â he nodded.
âI know,â Su Qingsang held his hand and said, âI have given her a hint about that. I think she knows it.â
She wasnât worried that Xiang Caiping might bump into someone from the Su family. The house of the Su Family was an hour away from where she lived, and Li Familyâs company was far away as well.
Xiang Caiping barely left the neighborhood since she came. Therefore, Su Qingsang figured that she understood it.
âGood. However, we still need to be careful. If she really meets someone from the family, we might be in trouble.â
If Su Chenghui really loved Xiang Caiping so deeply before, he might do something unwanted.
If that happened, the Li Family would not let him get away with it, especially Li Qianxue and Su Peizhen.
âWhat can I do?â Su Qingsang sighed. âMy mother came all the way here. I canât possibly send her away. She will probably live together with me from now on. Iâve thought about it. Theyâll see each other sooner or later. I can only do my best to cope with what might happen by then.â
Huo Jinyao stayed silent. If that really happened, he would surely protect his wife and her mother, without giving the Su Family a chance to try hurting them.
...
Reading the e-mail on the screen of his phone, Huo Jinyao wore a fierce look in his eyes.
Su Peizhen? She did have some guts. How dare she hurt his wife? He gently drummed on the desk with his fingers, wondering if Su Peizhen did it alone or together with Li Qianxue.
Did Li Qianxue know that Xiang Caiping was back? Was she trying to ruin Su Qingsangâs career?
No, that did not look like something that Li Qianxue might do. It was a better fit for an impulsive and brainless person like Su Peizhen.
The truth could be easily found out. He only needed to make a trip to see the Su Family. But...
Huo Jinyao answered the internal call with a cold voice. âGive Li Family some trouble, but keep it quiet. Weâre still in cooperation with them after all.â
As he expected, Su Chenghui found him in less than two days.
âJinyao, what do you want?â he asked.
They had worked together a few times. Huo Jinyao was younger than he was, so Su Chenghui normally called him by his name in private conversations.
Huo Jinyao glanced at the secretary who was standing behind Su Chenghui, then waved a hand to signal for her to leave.
After that, he looked at Su Chenghui and said to him, âWhat are you talking about?â
