âYou tell me,â Su Chenghui was a little unhappy. âItâs not a big deal, actually, but we are now in cooperation. What you did was unkind, wasnât it?â
The Su Family was respected in Lin City. However, Huo Jinyao brought them trouble. He was able to do that because he and the new mayor were childhood friends.
Thankfully, he only made a small movement, and it was discovered in time. Otherwise, some serious consequences might have been caused.
âUnkind? I donât think Iâm the unkind one. I think that title fits you.â
âWhat do you mean?â Su Chenghui didnât understand. Huo Jinyao didnât waste time taking, but directly showed him what he had prepared.
Su Chenghui picked up those files and gave them a glance. Soon, he changed his expression and said, âThis is impossible. Peizhen would never do something like this.â
Seeing the confident look in Su Chenghuiâs face, Huo Jinyao leaned slightly forward and said to him, âFather, is Qingsang really your daughter?â
Su Chenghui looked at him and seemed to be a little angry to hear that question. âWhat are you talking about? Of course, sheâs my daughter.â
âIs she?â Huo Jinyao nodded, looked at his angry face and said, âSometimes I wonder if thatâs true, because I feel that you only love your other daughter.â
âSo? Are you now getting revenge for Qingsang? Do you feel itâs acceptable to pull a prank on the case that weâre working together on?â
âYes,â Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows, then leaned against the back of his chair and said, âI have money. No matter how much money I make, itâll all end up as a number eventually. But a wife, I only have one of them.â
Su Chenghui took a deep breath. He refused to believe that this son-in-law of his would treat his business with such an attitude. âHuo Jinyao,â he said, âArenât you afraid that you might not be able to explain it to the chairmen in your company?â
âIf I canât even protect my own wife, how am I going to make more money for those chairmen? I think theyâll understand.â
Su Chenghui stayed silent for a short while, then nodded heavily and said, âWhat do you want?â
âI usually donât hit women. As we are relatives, I can spare your company, but I donât plan to let Su Peizhen get away with it so easily.â
Su Peizhen shouldnât have hurt his wife.
âPeizhen is Qingsangâs elder sister.â
âYeah? Did she ever treat Qingsang like a sister?â Huo Jinyao was displeased by Su Chenghuiâs attitude. âMr. Su, I have to remind you that the same as Su Peizhen, Su Qingsang is also your daughter.â
Because of the cooperation between the two companies, the two families have become closer than before recently.
Su Chenghui was an elder, so of course Huo Jinyao showed him respect. It was the first time he saw Huo Jinyao being so rude.
âWhat do you want then? Youâre not going to hit Peizhen back, are you?â
âHow could I? As Iâve said, I donât beat women.â
Hitting Su Peizhen back? That would be too easy for her.
âI want her to come to my place and apologize to my wife.â
âThatâs not going to happen.â Su Chenghui knew his daughter well enough. Apologizing to Su Qingsang would be as hard as death for her.
âIn this case, thereâs nothing left for us to say,â Huo Jinyao spread his hands regretfully, then said, âI think Iâm going to have to go on with my little punishment of the Li Family.â
âHuo Jinyao,â Su Chenghui was so angry that he even stood up from his seat. âYou cannot be so self-willed.â
âI am sorry. Thatâs me, such a self-willed person,â Huo Jinyao replied.
Knowing about your enemyâs weakness could lead straight to wining. Huo Jinyao clearly knew what a person like Su Peizhen cared about the most.
How could he make her suffer without making her feel humiliated first?
âI canât make her apologize. What else can I do for you to make you change your mind?â Su Chenghui was really angry with Huo Jinyao.
