Chapter 456: Chapter 457 - Huo Jinyao Has Really Taken It Too Far

Thinking about what Su Chenghui had said about taking her to the old woman who had hit her, Su Peizhen got angrier and angrier.

At last, she turned the wheel and drove to a fancy club that she had used to visit a lot.

Once inside, she ordered plenty of alcohol.

She was in a very bad mood and wanted a drink.

She often came to the club, so the waiters all knew her. Soon, they served her alcohol.

The table was occupied by expensive alcohol. Any bottle on that table could be worth tens of thousands.

Su Peizhen opened one bottle and poured what was in it straight into her mouth. She drank so fast that she almost choked. She stopped to cough and continued.

Before long, she finished half of the bottle. That wasn’t enough for her. She emptied that bottle and opened the second one.

She was alone in the VIP room. As a regular guest of the club, she wasn’t worried about her safety in that place.

After drinking two or three bottles, she was drunk.

She lay down on the couch and fell asleep. A while later, she woke up, wanting to go to the bathroom.

There was a bathroom in the room, but she shambled out of the room.

On her way back to her own room, she passed by another VIP room and heard Huo Jinyao’s name.

“Huo Jinyao has really taken it too far. He relies on the power of the Tianyu Group to bully people. How outrageous.”

The voice was familiar. Su Peizhen felt that she had heard it somewhere before.

“He bullied us, but what we can do about it? There’s nothing we can do.”

That voice sounded familiar too. Su Peizhen blinked, thinking about where she had heard those voices before.

“Am I not right? Do you know that I hate his guts now? But my parents forbid me from giving Huo Jinyao any trouble.”

“Forget it,” someone said sourly. “What can you possibly do to him? This is Huo Jinyao, not just some ordinary guy.”

“Yeah, Huo Jinyao is hard to deal with. You see, Junjiao angered him before, and as a result, she had to give her project to the Li family. She almost got that project.”

That was another man’s voice. Once he spoke, the room fell into silence.

Su Peizhen couldn’t bear listening to the conversation.

Bang! She pushed the door open violently.

“Why are you guys so afraid of Huo Jinyao? Why? If you want to give him trouble, just do it. How powerful is he, exactly? Does he have a superpower?”

“Peizhen?”

“Peizhen?”

The people in the room turned to the door.

Su Peizhen glanced at them. She was drunk, but she could still recognize them.

They were Luo Meishan’s brother, Luo Haonan, Song Youhe’s brother, Song Yangjia, and Wu Ran, who followed the two everywhere.

The team would be complete if Qiu Yanbo and Chang Qiuhai were there.

The ones who had been talking earlier were Luo Haonan and Song Yangjia. Before, Huo Jinyao had made both of their families suffer because their mothers had used to have issues with Xiang Caiping.

Currently, Luoxing Market and Kesong Electronics were both subsidiary companies of Tianyu Group.

Luo Haonan and Song Yangjia had been transformed from two rich young men into a joke. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Luo had almost been kicked out of their families by their husbands.

For many days, the people from those two families hadn’t dared to leave their homes. They felt too ashamed to face the world.

Seeing them reminded Su Peizhen of what had happened to them. That was also the reason why Su Chenghui had sent her away from the family.

If Su Chenghui hadn’t sent her away, the truth about Su Qingsang’s real parents wouldn’t have been unearthed so soon.

Thinking about that, Su Peizhen was so angry. She clenched her teeth. She was mad at Su Qingsang, and she hated Huo Jinyao.

“Why is it so hard to bring Huo Jinyao down? Instead of complaining, you might as well take action.”

Luo Haonan and Song Yangjia didn’t respond to her. Mrs. Song and Mrs. Luo were the ones who had caused the accident in which Xiang Caiping had suffered.

Why would they do something as difficult and pointless as that if they weren’t trying to help Su Peizhen and make her happy?

In the end, when things had gone south, no one had said anything for the Luo or Song families.

Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Song had thought about going to find Li Qianxue. However, Su Peizhen had been sent away from home at that time. How could Li Qianxue have possibly been in the mood to help them?

Not to mention the fact that it was Huo Jinyao who had given them the trouble. He showed no respect for even Su Chenghui, not to mention anyone else.

So now, neither of them was happy to see Su Peizhen.

The drunk Su Peizhen sneered, “What? Are you guys blaming me now?”

The two didn’t say anything, but the looks on their faces revealed that she was right.

“Ah, you blame me? For what? I was sent out of the country by my father because of what happened, and now my mother doesn’t want me. I now understand that family isn’t real. Only interest is.”

As for what Li Qianxue had said to Su Chenghui, including mixing up the two babies and the revenge, she believed that was total nonsense.

She had spent twenty years raising her. Didn’t that mean anything at all?

Some said that the people who raised you could be more important than the ones who had given you life. Why was it the other way around in the eyes of Li Qianxue and Old Master Li?

It was all because Su Qingsang had married Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao was running the Tianyu Group, and the Tianyu Group was in a partnership with the Li family. Huo Jinyao was able to give Su Peizhen trouble over and over again.

No one could tolerate that.

Upon hearing her words, Luo Haonan and Song Yangjia looked at Su Peizhen together. She had always been a spoiled girl. Being sent abroad by her family was indeed harsh. Thinking about that, the two men couldn’t help but soften their hearts a little toward her, especially Luo Haonan.

He had always liked Su Peizhen. He remembered her as a beautiful and sunny girl.

He had never seen her so unhappy and heartbroken.

Wu Ran stood up, looked at Su Peizhen, and said, “Do you have any ideas?”

Su Peizhen looked at him, then at Luo Haonan and Song Yangjia. Abruptly, she laughed. “I do have an idea, but I don’t know if it’ll be good for you.”

She closed the door and walked up to the people in the room, step by step.

“You know how to bring Huo Jinyao down?” Song Yangjia didn’t believe that. “Your family is now in a close partnership with the Tianyu Group, right? Aren’t you afraid that your parents might be angry at you?”

“Who said that I’m gonna bring Huo Jinyao down?”

Su Peizhen looked at the three of them coldly and said, “You’re right. We can’t do anything to Huo Jinyao for the time being. After all, the entire Tianyu Group is behind him. But I know his weakness. It’s hard to deal with him, but it’s easy to deal with his weakness.”

Wu Ran narrowed his eyes, noticing the fierce look on Su Peizhen’s face. “Are you talking about the illegitimate daughter from your family?”

“Yes,” Su Peizhen said through clenched teeth. The look in her eyes grew fiercer than before. “I’m talking about her.”

When they heard her words, all three men on the scene felt chills go down their spines.

…

Su Yuxin went to school for registration the next day. It was his third year of high school. He didn’t take the schoolwork seriously, but still, someone needed to stay in the family home.

So, after some discussion, the family decided to stick with the plan. Old Master Li would go to Rong City with Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang.

Su Yuxin would stay in the family. As for the Li family’s business, Li Qianxue decided to delegate the power to lower levels and let the managers of the few departments under her to take on some important responsibilities.

All of those people were senior members of the company and were very loyal to the company. They weren’t as capable as Su Chenghui, but for some things, communication could solve all the problems.

As for Su Chenghui…

Li Qianxue didn’t forget to call the lawyer Chen to tell Su Chenghui to sign the file.

Unexpectedly, Su Chenghui still said no. Li Qianxue was angry about it. She felt that Su Chenghui was shameless.

What gave him the right to refuse to sign his name?

“Su Chenghui, what else do you want? Do you think that I wouldn’t dare leak the secret about Su Peizhen’s real mother?”

Li Qianxue and the others had booked plane tickets to Rong City for tomorrow. She wanted to end her story with Su Chenghui before she left.

“Qianxue…” Su Chenghui’s voice sounded tired. “Peizhen has gone missing.”

Li Qianxue stopped short. Then she snorted with laughter and said, “Didn’t you follow her out yesterday? How could she possibly have gone missing?”

Su Chenghui couldn’t explain that. He had always been a cautious person. He never drove too fast, and neither did his driver.

Su Peizhen drove a lot faster than he did.

“I’ve been to many places, but I couldn’t find her. She turned off her phone. I’m really worried about her.”

Li Qianxue couldn’t say the awful words that she wanted to say. After all, she had spent over twenty years raising Su Peizhen.

“Go and ask her friends if you have the time. Someone will know where she is.”

“I know the people you’re talking about. I contacted them yesterday. None of them has seen her.”

Li Qianxue felt annoyed, and her tone grew unfriendly.

“So what? Do you want me to care about her like I used to? Do you want me to try to find her?”

“That’s not what I’m trying to say.”

“What are you trying to say, then? Why don’t you sign?” Thinking about that made Li Qianxue even angrier. “Did you think I’d forget about our divorce when I heard you say that Peizhen is gone missing? I’m telling you, that’s not gonna happen.”

Her determined attitude made Su Chenghui feel bitter.

“Qianxue, I’ve told you that I’m not getting a divorce.”

“Fine.” Li Qianxue was irritated. “Let’s throw another party tomorrow, then, and invite all the high-status people in Lin City. I want to openly make Qingsang the daughter of the Su family.”

Su Chenghui was thinking about Su Peizhen’s reaction yesterday. He knew that if Li Qianxue did that, Su Peizhen would be the first one to collapse.

After all, Su Peizhen was the daughter whom he had loved so deeply for so many years. He didn’t have the heart to put her in that kind of situation. So he found himself in a tough spot.
