After breakfast, Su Qingsang sat with Old Master Li for a while, then used the bathroom as an excuse to hide and call Huo Jinyao.
Today was Old Master Li's birthday. She wanted to see if he could make it.
When Huo Jinyao didn't show up last night, she knew that he wouldn't be able to make it.
She believed that he had important business matters to attend to since he didn't return to Lin City with her to celebrate Old Master Li's birthday.
However, she still hoped that Huo Jinyao could rush over at the last minute. Although she had already guessed that Huo Jinyao might not be able to leave.
Su Qingsang couldn't hide her nervousness when the call was connected. "Jinyao?"
"Wife. I was so busy yesterday that I forgot to call you. "
"I'm fine." Even through the phone, Su Qingsang could hear the hoarseness in his voice.
"Jinyao, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Huo Jinyao sounded more energetic than before. "Honey, I'm afraid I can't come to celebrate Grandpa's birthday."
"It's okay. Grandpa won't mind. "
Yesterday, she didn't say anything definite in front of her grandfather. She only said that Huo Jinyao would rush over after finishing his work. He believed that Grandpa would understand.
"Take care of yourself. Don't get too tired." Su Qingsang thought for a moment and added, "And remember to eat."
"I know. I will. " The corners of Huo Jinyao's lips curled up slightly. Because of Su Qingsang's concern, he became much gentler.
"Honey," Huo Jinyao suddenly called her name.
"Hmm?"
"I miss you." They had only been apart for a day, but Huo Jinyao already missed her.
If she was here, even if she didn't do anything, even if she didn't know anything.
As long as she was by his side, he always felt a lot more at ease. Even if she couldn't help her in business. As long as she was in his arms, he would feel at ease.
"I missed you too." Her eyes were shining. "It's okay. I'll be back in a couple of days."
"Yes. I'll be waiting for you. "
Huo Jinyao hung up the phone. His face was no longer as relaxed as before. He looked at the stack of documents in front of him, and his face was unprecedentedly serious.
…
Li Qianxue confirmed the lunch menu with the kitchen again. When he came out, he found Su Qingsang hiding in the corridor and talking on the phone.
By the time she saw it, she had already hung up.
"Mom." Su Qingsang walked towards her quickly. "Are you looking for me?"
"Are you calling Jinyao? How was it? Can he come over? "
Su Qingsang shook her head, looking a little guilty. "Something urgent happened in his company, and he had to deal with it. That's why he couldn't make it."
"I'm fine. I understand. "Li Qianxue held her hand and asked her to go to the living room with her.
"If he can't come, then so be it. In any case, the people who came today were all family members. You've seen many of them before. "
"Yes. I know. "My paternal grandfather and his descendants, as well as my paternal aunt and her descendants. Besides, he had seen them before, but he didn't interact much with them.
"It's good that they know each other. Anyway, they are relying on the Li family to live. His attitude toward you will definitely be very polite. If anyone is rude to you or gives you a hard time, don't hold it in. Just fight back. "
Don't think that she didn't know that many of those people had targeted Su Qingsang in the past, openly or secretly.
Although these things were related to her attitude in the past. But the past was the past, and now was the present. Now the situation was different. Of course, she wouldn't let anyone bully her daughter again.
Not even the slightest bit of attitude was allowed.
"Mom, I know. Don't worry. They won't. "
Not to mention that she had acknowledged Li Qianxue now, just based on her identity as the wife of the president of Tianyu Group, as long as those people weren't stupid, they wouldn't think of provoking her, right?
"I know they won't. But I'm afraid that someone won't be smart. "
Li Qianxue patted Su Qingsang's hand. "Anyway, remember, in this family, no one can make you feel wronged."
"Mom." Su Qingsang's eyes were a little sore and touched. She rubbed her face against Li Qianxue's shoulder. Her voice was very soft.
"You're going to spoil me."
"What's wrong with spoiling you?" Li Qianxue didn't think she was going too far. "I think it's too late."
If she had known earlier, she would have loved her daughter earlier. How could things have developed to this point? She had missed so many years with her daughter?
Li Qianxue was still upset that she hadn't discovered it earlier. She was gritting her teeth at Su Chenghui, who had caused this situation.
However, as soon as she entered the living room with Su Qingsang, she saw a person who shouldn't have been there.
Su Chenghui.
Seeing that it was him, Li Qianxue's face immediately darkened.
She glared at Su Chenghui with a cold face, as if she wanted to stare a hole in his body. "Why are you here?"
Ever since they signed the divorce papers, the two of them hadn't seen each other for nearly two months.
Because of Su Chenghui's resignation, the Li Corporation's business had been on her shoulders for a long time.
Li Qianxue's ability wasn't bad, but the sudden increase of so much work also made her very tired.
It was also because of this period of busy work that she didn't have time to think about Su Chenghui.
It was very easy for her to know about him, but she didn't want to know. Even when her son or daughter mentioned this person in front of her, she would still be unhappy.
Since he had already left, he was no longer here. There was no need for him to come back, let alone show up.
If he wanted to see the children, he could just see them outside. This was good for both him and her.
She didn't want to see this person. Now that she suddenly saw Su Chenghui, Li Qianxue was really unhappy. The guests in this house hadn't arrived yet. What was Su Chenghui doing here?
"What are you doing here? Get out. You're not welcome here. "
Even in front of the two children, Li Qianxue didn't mind making Su Chenghui lose face. In her opinion, she didn't need to give him face at all.
After Li Qianxue appeared, Su Chenghui's eyes were fixed on her.
They hadn't seen each other for nearly two months, and she seemed to have lost a little weight. She looked good.
Today was Old Master Li's birthday. She had put on light makeup. Because it was a family banquet, Li Qianxue didn't wear a dress.
She was wearing a simple red dress, festive and flamboyant. She was clearly in her forties, but she was able to completely suppress such a gorgeous color.
Just like her personality, she was clear about her likes and dislikes. Like a flame, people couldn't help but be attracted to her.
"Su Chenghui." Noticing that Su Chenghui was staring at her, Li Qianxue felt even worse. "What are you doing here?"
"Today is Dad's birthday, I –"
