It was noon in Rong City. The weather wasn't cold. She was shopping with two other women who looked like rich ladies.
"Auntie."
The moment Su Peizhen saw Liu Tongjia, she quickly went up to her and greeted her.
"Hello. You're here shopping too? "
She said it intimately as if they were very familiar with each other.
Liu Tongjia looked at Su Peizhen with an indifferent expression. She just responded and didn't want to talk to Su Peizhen anymore.
Su Peizhen wasn't someone who would give up easily. "Auntie, since we met, it must be fate. I often heard from Yifan that you and uncle took good care of him, and he was very grateful to you — "
"Su Peizhen." Liu Tongjia suddenly interrupted her. "You don't have to use the way you coax the old man on me."
Su Peizhen didn't expect that she would be rejected before she even made a move. However, she wasn't discouraged at all.
"Auntie, you really misunderstood me. I'm telling the truth. "
As she spoke, Su Peizhen glanced at the two women next to Liu Tongjia.
"Auntie, if you don't believe me, you can ask other people to see if I'm telling the truth. Who doesn't know that you're kind and generous? "
The two women next to her happened to be Mrs. Xu, Xu Ruoli's mother, and Li Xiangyuan.
They couldn't refute Su Peizhen's words at that time.
Liu Tongjia was no longer in the mood to shop after being interrupted by Su Peizhen.
She turned around and glanced at Mrs. Xu and Li Xiangyuan. The two of them said that they had something to do, so they took their leave.
Liu Tongjia didn't pay attention to Su Peizhen after they parted ways. She took out her phone and called the driver to pick her up.
Su Peizhen blocked Liu Tongjia's way. "Auntie, since we met, why don't we talk for a while?"
"I have nothing to talk to you about."
"But I think we should have a lot to talk about."
They were in front of a department store, which wasn't a good place to talk.
Liu Tongjia looked at Su Peizhen deeply and entered a coffee shop next to her.
Su Peizhen smiled and followed her.
They sat down in the corner of the coffee shop. Su Peizhen smiled warmly.
"Auntie, what would you like to drink?"
"I'm not here for a drink. If you have anything to say, just say it. "
"Auntie. I really just want to talk to you. After all, I feel that someone like Auntie definitely doesn't like to be deceived, right? "
"What are you trying to say?"
"I want to say, Su Qingsang, I think you might not know her identity …"
"I know. She is Li Qianxue's daughter. And you — "
Liu Tongjia looked Su Peizhen up and down and said sarcastically, "You're the illegitimate daughter who popped out of nowhere."
Su Peizhen was a little embarrassed that her identity had been exposed.
"Auntie, why do you say that about me? Even if Su Qingsang isn't an illegitimate daughter, don't you still dislike her? "
"So?" Liu Tongjia leaned forward a little. "You want to join forces with me to deal with Su Qingsang?"
"Auntie, what are you talking about? If you don't like her, why do you have to be like this?"
Su Peizhen didn't believe that Liu Tongjia would be indifferent to her proposal. "Auntie, I heard that you wanted to marry another daughter-in-law. Didn't I help you? "
"Help me?" Liu Tongjia sneered. "Help me, or help yourself?"
"Why don't you see this as helping each other?"
"Helping each other?" Liu Tongjia smiled. "What? Do you think that you can make me cooperate with you just because you don't like Su Qingsang? "
Seeing Su Peizhen's expression change, she stopped smiling.
"Su Peizhen. I'm not afraid to tell you that I really don't like Su Qingsang, but I dislike you even more. "
"Auntie?"
"Since you are no longer the daughter of the Su family, you have to accept your fate. I can understand that you don't want to accept your fate and want to get back what you used to be. I can understand that, but I don't want to be the one who pushes you forward. "
"But —"
"But I don't like Su Qingsang, do I?"
Liu Tongjia looked at her with more and more sarcasm.
"You think too much. I don't like her. But she and Huo Jinyao are already married. What? Do you think that I would let Su Qingsang leave the Huo family for your selfish reasons? "
"Auntie?"
"That's enough." Liu Tongjia didn't have the patience to stay any longer. She stood up. "You're too young to use me."
"Auntie, I really didn't mean that."
"It doesn't matter if you did or didn't. I don't like to be used anyway. I'm not interested in cooperating with you. After all, a woman like you, who writes her ambition on her face, is more annoying to me than Su Qingsang. "
After saying that, Liu Tongjia left right away.
Su Peizhen was left sitting there with a terrible look on her face. She didn't expect Liu Tongjia to be like this.
Her chest was heaving up and down. Seeing Liu Tongjia's figure disappear, she slowly let out a breath.
Good, good. Was she more annoying than Su Qingsang? She wanted to see who would have the last laugh, between Su Qingsang and her.
…
After dinner, it was still early. Su Qingsang went to the kitchen to cut some fruits and put them on the coffee table.
Zhang Yichen glanced at her and thanked her in a low voice.
"You're welcome."
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao and then at Zhang Yichen. She signaled Huo Jinyao to greet Zhang Yichen with her eyes and then went back to her room.
She still had an unfinished paper in her hands. She wanted to use this time to finish it.
Su Qingsang held the notebook with the papers she had printed beside her hand. She was writing on the bed, but she didn't know how she fell asleep.
In the end, she was woken up by Huo Jinyao's kiss. She blinked her eyes and looked at Huo Jinyao's face. "What time is it?"
"It's past four."
"Uncle left?"
"He's still outside." Huo Jinyao kissed her cheek. "Why did you fall asleep? Are you sleepy? "
Su Qingsang shook her head. "Is Uncle okay? Why didn't he leave? "
"You don't like him coming?"
"Not really." Su Qingsang thought about the few times she had met Zhang Yichen, she felt a little uncomfortable. "I just feel that he seems to have a lot of free time."
"He's not free. Every time he comes to Rong City, he has something to do."
Yes. Every time he came to Rong City, he had something to do. Every time he had something to do, he had time to go to the Huo family. Every time he had something to do, he happened to see her in an embarrassing moment.
"Is he still eating at our place tonight?"
"No. We're going out for dinner. "
Huo Jinyao put away the papers and notebooks on the bed. "Li Junsheng is back. Everyone said they're going to have a gathering tonight. I'll take you with me. "
"Okay."
Su Qingsang had a good impression of Li Junsheng and knew that he was close to Huo Jinyao.
Hearing this, she immediately got up and got dressed. However, halfway through, she suddenly turned around and looked at Huo Jinyao. "Uncle, you're not coming with us, are you?"
"Yes. He knows Li Junsheng and the others. Of course, we're going together. "
Su Qingsang nodded and didn't ask anymore. At that moment, Huo Jinyao got up and put his arms around her waist.
"Wife, did you go to the old house to see Grandpa yesterday?"
Su Qingsang stopped putting on her clothes. She turned around and looked at Huo Jinyao. "Yes."
"Grandpa is usually alone at the Huo Mansion. Although your parents are at home, they don't seem to be able to spend much time with Grandpa. I'll go see him when I have time. "
Huo Jinyao gave Su Qingsang a deep look, but didn't expose her lie.
Su Qingsang felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She couldn't help but say, "Actually, apart from spending time with Grandpa, I also want to …"
"It's okay." Huo Jinyao interrupted her. "If you have time, you can spend more time with Grandpa."
"Jinyao?"
"Next time, I'll go with you."
Su Qingsang looked at him. She had a feeling that Huo Jinyao knew that she wanted to go to the old house to ask about Old Master Huo.
She lowered her head and wanted to say something else, but Huo Jinyao hugged her.
"Wife. Give me some time. "
If she gave him some time, he would tell her what she wanted to know.
That was what he wanted. She knew it.
Su Qingsang put her face close to Huo Jinyao's ear and finally nodded gently. "Okay."
They didn't say what it was or when. The two of them already had a tacit understanding with each other. They both knew what the other meant.
Su Qingsang let him hug her. Since he said so, she wouldn't ask.
He would tell her when he wanted to tell her one day.
However, because of his words, she also believed one thing. That was, what happened back then was definitely not what Liu Tongjia understood. Perhaps, there was something else, but she didn't know what it was.
Now, she could only wait. Wait for Huo Jinyao to be willing to tell her.
…
Li Junsheng was the mayor of Lin City, so he didn't usually come back.
He was an ambitious man. When he had nothing to do, he would fly around. He would investigate here and communicate there.
This time, he would only stay for two days. The dinner place was set at Xiangshan Restaurant.
Su Qingsang had been here a few times, so she was very familiar with the place.
Not long after she sat down, Wan Xianyang came first. He sat in the empty seat next to Su Qingsang.
On the other side of Su Qingsang was Huo Jinyao, and on the other side was Zhang Yichen. Seeing Wan Xianyang's behavior, Zhang Yichen turned to look at Huo Jinyao. He was talking to Li Junsheng about Lin City, so he didn't notice Wan Xianyang's behavior.
Zhang Yichen narrowed his eyes and glanced at Wan Xianyang again.
"Sister-in-law. What is Mengwan busy with these days? Why doesn't she come to Rong City to hang out with you? "
"She has her own things to do. How can she hang out with me every day? "
Su Qingsang knew what Wan Xianyang was thinking. She couldn't help but remind him, "Don't you have her WeChat? You can contact her yourself. "
"I know, but she doesn't talk to me." Wan Xianyang felt a little wronged. "Sister-in-law. Look at me. I'm not bad, right? Why does your bestie have such high standards? "
"Don't wrongly accuse her. It's not that she has high standards. She just doesn't like you."
"So she doesn't like me? Isn't that high standards?" Wan Xianyang was a little unconvinced.
Seeing him like this, Su Qingsang wanted to laugh. "Don't be like this. It's not your problem. It's that you're really not her type. "
She had been in contact with Shi Mengwan recently, and she had also heard from her that Wan Xianyang would contact her from time to time.
He would also greet her every morning, noon, and night. In fact, Wan Xianyang didn't feel it himself, but Shi Mengwan already felt troubled.
It was just because he was Huo Jinyao's childhood friend that she didn't want to offend him too much. So she could only not reply to his messages. She didn't directly blacklist him.
She couldn't tell Wan Xianyang that. Su Qingsang knew.
Zhan Haoze and Wan Xianyang were not the same in terms of personality and appearance. More importantly, Shi Mengwan had been stubborn because of Zhan Haoze.
She had been thinking about him for more than ten years. Over the years, there had been people who pursued her. But she really wasn't tempted at all.
It wasn't something worth announcing. Wan Xianyang said it in a very low voice. Su Qingsang said it in an even lower voice.
No one else could hear them. They could only see that they were talking happily. Zhang Yichen suddenly stood up. When he met Huo Jinyao's somewhat confused gaze, he twitched the corner of his mouth.
"I'm going to make a call."
He walked out. Huo Jinyao only asked one question and didn't ask anything else after that.
Su Qingsang tried to persuade Wan Xianyang a few more times, but found that it would have been better if she hadn't done so.
He even told Li Junsheng that he wanted to go to Lin City with him for a few days this time. Su Qingsang had a headache. Looking at Wan Xianyang's serious face, she wondered if she should call Shi Mengwan to remind her.
Whatever she wanted came. Shi Mengwan's phone rang. Su Qingsang glanced at it, then at Wan Xianyang, and got up to answer the call outside.
"Qingsang, I want to tell you a piece of good news."
As soon as she picked up the phone outside the corridor, Su Qingsang heard Shi Mengwan's excited voice. She smiled.
"What good news?"
"Last time, I took my design to the Imagination Fashion Design Competition in France. I've already passed the preliminary round. "
"Really? You're amazing. " Su Qingsang had heard about the competition before. At that time, Shi Mengwan didn't think she could pass it. Su Qingsang had been encouraging her and telling her to give it a try.
"So you're going to France?"
"Yeah. After the preliminary round, I'm going to France to participate in the next competition. Ah. I'm so happy. "
Su Qingsang was happy for her good friend. She asked Shi Mengwan when she would be going. She was happy to know that it would be in the next week.
Wan Xianyang was just thinking about going to Lin City to find Shi Mengwan. Shi Mengwan was going to fly to France soon. The competition period was a bit long. They wouldn't be able to meet each other then.
Thinking of this, Su Qingsang felt a little bad. Yes. Should she remind Wan Xianyang?
Forget it. If he went to France again, it would be really troublesome.
After chatting for a while, Su Qingsang hung up. She looked up and found that Zhang Yichen was standing in front of her.
The smile on her face quickly disappeared.
"Uncle."
"Call?"
Su Qingsang was stunned by the sudden question. She nodded subconsciously. Zhang Yichen glanced at her. He was about to leave, but his footsteps fell on the phone in her hand.
Who was she talking to? Why was she so happy?
