Chapter 355: Chapter 355 - You Have To Leave This Place

“Smart. That’s exactly what I mean.” After spending time with each other during this period of time, Su Qingsang really treated Xiang Caiping as her own mother, hence she naturally did not wish for Xiang Caiping to go through any grievances.

“Not a problem. Just leave such tasks to me.” Shi Mengwan patted Su Qingsang’s shoulder as she spoke. “You don’t have to worry.”

Su Qingsang knew Shi Mengwan well. Compared to her own slightly bland personality, Shi Mengwan was substantially more bubbly and cheerful.

Xiang Caiping had always liked her. With her around, Xiang Caiping would be happier.

“Let’s go outside.” Su Qingsang looped her arm through Shi Mengwan’s. “I’m actually not really worried because Huo Jinyao and I are thinking deeply about another issue.”

“What is it?”

“Moving to Rong City.”

“You’re leaving this place?” Shi Mengwan was really shocked this time. “Just to avoid members of the Su Family?”

Su Qingsang shook her head. “It’s not that. Huo Jinyao is originally from Rong City. Previously, he moved here to further his business and stayed because of me. His grandfather had been hoping for us to move back.”

Shi Mengwan stopped speaking. Honestly, she did not know what to say. Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang were married and it was understandable that he would wish to take Su Qingsang back to his hometown.

However, she could not bear for Su Qingsang to leave. “Qingsang, I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“It’s still too soon to think about it now. We have just made this decision. Don’t you worry, we’ll still be here for a long time.”

Shi Mengwan let out a sigh and hugged Su Qingsang tightly. “If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have allowed you to marry Huo Jinyao.”

“Sure, I shouldn’t have married him. I should’ve married you.”

“I am in favor of that.” Shi Mengwan widened her eyes in mock seriousness. “You should abandon him and come into my embrace.”

“That will not do,” a pleasant, crisp male voice sounded out. It was unclear when Huo Jinyao had returned home, but now he was leaning against the door while staring at the two women. “She is my wife, so don’t you think of snatching her away from me.”

“You’re back?” Su Qingsang smiled as she released Shi Mengwan’s arm. “You’re just in time for dinner.”

“I’m was going to let both of you know that dinner is ready.”

“Let’s go.”

Huo Jinyao went forward to take Su Qingsang’s hand and led her out to the dining area.

Shi Mengwan feigned hurt and trailed behind them while making mock teasing noises.

“You abandoned me the moment your husband arrived, when you had said that you want to be with me. Woman, you really value men more than friendship.”

“Let’s go. You talk too much.”

Su Qingsang was amused. She turned and extended her hand to Shi Mengwan, but the latter avoided it with a pompous look on her face.

“Thanks, but there’s no need. I’m not going to be the third wheel.”

With that, she went outside. Xiang Caiping was just placing the hotpot on the dining table and she was full of smiles when she saw Shi Mengwan.

“Mengwan, you’re just in time for dinner.”

“Auntie,” Shi Mengwan held Xiang Caiping’s arm the moment she stepped forward. “Qingsang offended me.”

“What?”

Xiang Caiping looked at Shi Mengwan. She had an extremely aggrieved look of grudge on her face, which was a reflection of her accusation towards Su Qingsang favoring the opposite sex over friendship.

Shi Mengwan already looked strikingly pretty and her features were beautiful. Her looks, coupled with her crisp voice and lively words, doubled her attractiveness.

Shi Mengwan made Xiang Caiping happy and continued to interact with her. Shi Mengwan winked in a subtle way at Su Qingsang after taking her seat at the dining table.

Su Qingsang smiled as she caught Shi Mengwan’s signal and gestured her appreciation.

The bosom friends thought that their subtle interaction was not obvious to others, but Huo Jinyao had, in fact, caught all of it. His line of sight landed on Su Qingsang. She was subtly beaming away as she looked at Shi Mengwan’s interaction with Xiang Caiping. Her eyes reflected her jovial mood.

He could not help but reach out and lightly squeeze her palm.
