"I like that you're so smart."
Su Peizhen was still daydreaming. Huo Yifan's hand had already reached into her clothes. "Don't worry. I'll have someone come over tomorrow to measure you and order a dress. I promise you'll be in the limelight on the anniversary. "
"Really?" Su Peizhen put her hand on his shoulder and leaned close to his cheek. "If that's the case, I really have to thank you first."
"Okay. You can start now and express your gratitude. "
Huo Yifan's hand tightened and Su Peizhen's clothes were torn in half.
Su Peizhen glared at him. This man could be very perverted sometimes. He could take it off easily, but he liked to tear it.
"Pervert."
"Don't you like me because I'm a pervert?"
Huo Yifan smiled. "Don't worry. I'll make you like me even more."
Su Peizhen put her arms around his neck and said seductively, "Really? Then prove it to me. "
"My pleasure."
On the sofa in the living room, the two of them rolled together.
At that moment, Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue were all thrown to the back of her mind.
She only needed to firmly grasp Huo Yifan's heart to let them know.
Su Peizhen also had the right to be on equal footing with them.
… …
Before Su Chenghui came, he had planned to call Su Peizhen in addition to Su Qingsang.
He wanted to ask her how she was doing recently. Especially after parting on bad terms with Li Qianxue, he wanted to know how Su Peizhen was doing recently.
It had nothing to do with anything else. After so many years of caring for her, he was used to thinking about his daughter.
However, to his disappointment, Su Peizhen didn't answer his call. He called Su Peizhen several times, but she didn't answer.
Su Chenghui could have called Xiang Caiping directly. But if he did that, something else might happen.
After thinking about it, Su Chenghui could only send Su Peizhen a message, telling her that he had come to Rong City and that he wanted to see her if possible.
Unfortunately, Su Peizhen still didn't reply.
Su Chenghui knew that he probably wouldn't be able to see Su Peizhen this time. If she wasn't willing to see him, given her personality, she definitely wouldn't pick up his call.
After finishing his work, Su Chenghui was about to book a plane ticket back to Lin City when he received Su Qingsang's call.
She told him that he had been invited to Tianyu Group's anniversary celebration next week. Anyway, he was also in Rong City. If he went to attend, he could also get to know some people in Rong City's business circle, which would also be helpful to him.
Su Chenghui, whose company had just started to make progress, certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
What made him even happier was that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were willing to invite him. This made him very happy.
Amidst his happiness, he thought of Su Peizhen. After the anniversary celebration, he would visit her again.
Su Chenghui didn't expect to see Su Peizhen on such an occasion.
…
Tianyu Group's anniversary celebrations were bigger and bigger every year. It was getting more and more lively every year.
This year was no exception. Tianyu chose the largest convention center in Rong City as the venue. It was also the largest and most functional one.
The entire center was bustling with noise and excitement today. The first and second floors of the convention center were divided into two parts.
One was downstairs, where the Tianyu Group's own employees came to participate. They could hold all kinds of activities here, such as raffles and buffets.
The other part was upstairs, where the Tianyu Group's higher-ups, directors, and all the business partners who worked with the Tianyu Group were.
Including Huo Jinyao's childhood friends, Tang Mohan, Wan Xianyang, Cheng Xianyun, and Li Junsheng, who happened to have time this time, also came.
When they arrived, the other elders of the Huo family, Old Master Huo, Huo Yangyuan, Huo Mingguang, Huo Mingliang, Nian Chunya, and Huo Mingmei, all came.
As the hosts, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang hadn't arrived yet.
Old Master Huo was talking to Huo Yangyuan when he saw Huo Jinyao coming in from afar.
Of course, Huo Jinyao didn't come alone. He held Su Qingsang's hand by his side.
Su Qingsang finally decided on the gown today after Li Qianxue's repeated efforts that day. The light gold fabric was tailored to fit her body.
The biggest advantage of this gown was that it was layered. The chiffon fabric underneath was layered. There was a layer of gauze on the surface and another layer on the inside.
The outer layer of gauze was light, and the patterns embroidered on the inner layer of gauze could be faintly seen. It was faintly discernible, but it was more charming than being completely visible.
The neckline design revealed the perfect lines of Su Qingsang's shoulders. It matched with the pair of golden high heels on her feet. His entire person seemed to have a kind of floating noble aura.
In order to match her, although Huo Jinyao's gown was dark, he wore a golden tie today.
The dark patterns of the cufflinks also complemented Su Qingsang's gown. The two of them attracted the attention of most of the people present as soon as they entered the room.
Whether it was these business partners, the directors of Tianyu Group, or the higher-ups, they all knew Huo Jinyao.
But many people still didn't know Su Qingsang. Now that they saw her standing together with Huo Jinyao, what else could they not understand?
The Su Qingsang in front of them was the legendary wife of the president. The woman who was carefully protected by Huo Jinyao.
Outside the banquet hall, Li Qianxue wasn't in a hurry to go in. Just now, Huo Jinyao asked her to go in with him, but she refused.
She would never let Su Qingsang miss such a chance to be in the limelight. Now was the moment that belonged to her daughter. She hoped that Su Qingsang would be the brightest one in the entire venue.
And she also believed that the effect brought about by her own judgment and Su Qingsang's own temperament would definitely shock the entire venue.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for exclamations and applause to be heard from inside.
Li Qianxue smiled and picked up the bag in her hand. Just as she was about to go in, she didn't expect to see a person at the door who shouldn't have been there.
"Su Chenghui?"
Why was he here?
When Li Qianxue saw Su Chenghui, her expression suddenly turned ugly. Especially when she saw the clothes he was wearing, her expression became even uglier.
The color of my gown is the color of your tie. This was a popular way to show your love in a subtle way.
Today was the anniversary of Tianyu Group. Li Qianxue chose a golden gown for Su Qingsang, which was dignified and elegant.
The color he chose for himself was dark red. It was a happy day for the other party, so it was also very appropriate for her to wear red.
The dark red long qipao embroidered with patterns looked very appropriate on her. Especially when Li Qianxue was so young. The qipao could only make her look more elegant and exquisite.
But it didn't include letting her see that Su Chenghui was wearing a Chinese tunic suit of the same color as her. He stood in front of her in an extremely elegant manner.
When he saw the smile on her face, a hint of surprise flashed across his face. Especially when he saw her qipao, the smile on his face became even more obvious.
"Su Chenghui. You – "
"Qianxue, don't we have a tacit understanding?"
Su Chenghui seemed to know what she wanted to say and interrupted her.
For him, if Li Qianxue's understanding of him was ten points, then his understanding of Li Qianxue was at least thirty to forty points.
On such a day, Li Qianxue would definitely wear a relatively festive dress. But she had never liked bright red.
Dark red was a very good choice. It was elegant and dignified, but also festive. All the celebrities who came and went liked to wear dresses, but Li Qianxue actually liked qipaos. This was something he also knew.
Therefore, it was most suitable for him to wear a Chinese tunic suit to face her.
And now that he saw Li Qianxue, he knew that he had made the right bet.
"Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao, you're really something. "
He actually didn't mention a word. He actually invited Su Chenghui?
If Li Qianxue had known, she definitely wouldn't have come. Of course, she also knew that this matter couldn't be completely blamed on Huo Jinyao. It would be strange if Su Qingsang didn't know.
But now, she didn't want to blame her daughter. She only wanted to scold Huo Jinyao.
"Don't blame Huo Jinyao. No matter what, I'm his father-in-law. Isn't it only right for him to invite me? "
After Su Chenghui received Su Qingsang's call, he knew that Li Qianxue would also come to this banquet.
Although Su Qingsang's tone didn't say it explicitly, it was already quite obvious.
This was also the reason why he tried his best to guess what Li Qianxue would wear. Fortunately, he guessed correctly.
"It's only right. Of course it's only right."
Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui, her expression cold and mocking. "Speaking of which, Su Chenghui, I really have to admire you. You treated Qingsang like that, but you can still make her help you like this. You're becoming more and more good at buying people's hearts. "
"Qianxue, don't talk about Qingsang like that. I didn't buy her off. I just let her see my sincerity. "
Sincerity? He, Su Chenghui, would also have sincerity? Yes, sincerity towards Xiang Caiping.
Li Qianxue didn't want to talk to Su Chenghui, so she walked inside.
No matter what Su Chenghui was wearing, it had nothing to do with her. She didn't come today for Su Chenghui.
However, Su Chenghui walked to her side and reached out his hand to her.
"Qianxue, let's go in together."
"In your dreams." Li Qianxue took a step back, and her suppressed voice revealed a hint of anger. "Let me tell you, we're already divorced. Please stay away from me."
"I know we're already divorced. But now this is the Huo family's home court, the home court of Tianyu Group. You don't want others to know that the wife of the president of Tianyu Group doesn't have a good relationship with her parents, do you? "
"So what?" Li Qianxue glared at him coldly. "Old Master Huo knows very well about my divorce with you. He also knows very well about Qingsang's background. I really don't think there's a need for me to hide it in front of others. "
"As for you, Su Chenghui, I really don't like your unscrupulous behavior."
After saying this, she completely ignored Su Chenghui and went straight into the venue.
Su Chenghui looked at her graceful figure, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face. He didn't expect that even if he brought Su Qingsang out, Li Qianxue wouldn't be soft-hearted at all.
Thinking about it, he was really discouraged.
… …
When Li Qianxue entered the banquet hall, although it didn't cause as much of a stir as Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao, it was enough to leave a deep impression.
She was charming, but not fierce. She had an imposing manner, a good look, a good figure, and a good temperament.
Some people who didn't know who she was had already begun to secretly ask about her.
Liu Tongjia had been in a bad mood these days. After the fight with Huo Jinyao because of Zhang Yichen, she hadn't been in a good mood for a while.
She kept wondering if she was wrong.
But no one could tell her the answer.
There were several times when she wanted to ask Huo Mingguang if she had done something wrong back then. But she didn't have the courage.
Not everyone had the courage to face the mistakes they had made and the misunderstandings they had had.
Liu Tongjia was the same.
She could only remind herself over and over again that she was not wrong. She was not wrong at all.
It was Huo Jinyao who killed Jin Kai and Wushuang. It was all Huo Jinyao's fault.
It seemed that only by doing this could she find some comfort. It seemed that only by doing this could she feel a little better.
Until she saw Huo Jinyao with her own eyes.
She saw Su Qingsang come in with Huo Jinyao just now. Putting aside her dislike for Su Qingsang, she had to admit that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were indeed very compatible in appearance.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were a perfect match in terms of appearance.
One was tall and handsome, and the other was delicate and pretty. Ever since she married into the Huo family, Su Qingsang had also undergone some fundamental changes.
She began to act more elegantly and calmly. Just like now, she was wearing a golden dress, which was very suitable for her.
When she came in with Huo Jinyao, there was a faint smile in her eyes. The two of them held each other's hands tightly. Needless to say, it was obvious that they were very close to each other.
Such a scene was a little harsh in Liu Tongjia's eyes. Stop being dirty.
Only Huo Jinyao believed in her innocence.
Now, looking at the two of them showing off their love, she only felt suffocated.
She had already felt a little remorseful, but now she felt a little less. All that was left was dissatisfaction with Su Qingsang.
She had clearly behaved inappropriately, but Huo Jinyao protected her wholeheartedly. He was blind and couldn't see it.
Such a woman, such a woman, had also married into the Huo family.
When she saw Li Qianxue, who was wearing a dark red dress and slowly walking in, Liu Tongjia's face darkened even more.
It was nothing for Huo Jinyao to invite Li Qianxue. However, Li Qianxue was Su Qingsang's mother, and he didn't even greet her. This was already extremely disrespectful.
More importantly, Li Qianxue came to Rong City, but she didn't visit the Huo family first.
What was this? Did she not take the Huo family seriously? If that was the case, what did she mean by appearing now?
It wasn't that Li Qianxue didn't notice the curious and inquisitive gazes of the people around her.
However, she couldn't care about other people now. She quietly walked in the direction of Old Master Huo. Then, she stood about a meter in front of him.
Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had just greeted Old Master Huo and the other elders. At this moment, they were standing to the side and chatting with Huo Yangyuan and the other two elders.
When she saw Li Qianxue come in, Su Qingsang smiled at her and gave her a reassuring look before standing to the side.
"Old Master. Congratulations. "
"Eh? Niece, you're here? "
Old Master Huo had heard Huo Jinyao mention that Li Qianxue had come to Rong City before. "Why didn't Brother Li come with you?"
"My father stayed in Lin City to take care of things." Li Qianxue said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Or, does the old master not want to see me?"
"How could that be? You don't know how happy I'm that you're here, niece. Come, come, let me introduce you – "
Before Old Master Huo could finish his sentence, he saw another person come in. This time, it was Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui was the same as Li Qianxue. When he came in, he also attracted a lot of attention.
The man who was almost fifty years old had a mature charm. He had the maturity and steadiness that had accumulated over time, and his appearance was elegant.
Most importantly, after the divorce, Su Chenghui was more calm and composed than before.
The sharpness and obsession that he once had had disappeared, and he looked very different from before.
The dark patterned Chinese tunic suit made him look even more elegant and handsome. People would believe it if they said that he was less than forty years old.
Step by step, he walked steadily to Old Master Huo.
"Hello. You're Old Master Huo Yangping, right? "
"I am, and you are –" Just by looking at Su Chenghui's appearance, Old Master Huo had already guessed who he was.
"I'm Su Chenghui, Qingsang's father."
Su Chenghui reached out his hand to Old Master Huo. His expression was calm and apologetic. "I'm sorry. When Qingsang and Jinyao returned to Rong City, I happened to have some things to deal with, so I didn't come to visit the Huo family immediately. I'm sorry. "
He openly admitted his mistake, and the expression on his face was sincere and calm.
Old Master Huo reached out and shook hands with him. "In-law, you're welcome. It's all a small matter. We're not that polite people. "
"That's because Old Master Huo is magnanimous. He doesn't care about us juniors. "
As Su Chenghui spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket. "It's my first time meeting you, so I didn't prepare anything. I prepared a gift in a hurry. I hope you'll like it. "
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
Old Master Huo looked at Su Chenghui and didn't refuse his gift. His gaze fell on Li Qianxue, and then looked at Su Chenghui.
His eyes looked over, and they were very shrewd.
"Nephew, did you come with niece?"
The way they addressed each other as' Eldest Niece 'and' Eldest Nephew 'was very intimate. Invisibly, the distance between the two sides was shortened a lot.
"No."
"Yes."
Two different voices sounded at the same time. Old Master Huo looked at Su Chenghui, and then at Li Qianxue.
He heard that they were divorced. It turned out that the two of them appeared one after the other, and they were wearing the same color gowns, so he thought —
"Old Master, I still have something to say to Qingsang. Excuse me for a moment."
It wasn't that Li Qianxue didn't want to give Old Master Huo face, but her disgust for Su Chenghui had overwhelmed everything else.
She glanced at Su Chenghui coldly, and then bowed to Old Master Huo with great respect.
"Old Master, I'll talk to you later."
She turned around and walked in Su Qingsang's direction. Before she left, she didn't even look at Su Chenghui out of the corner of her eye.
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue's back and smiled bitterly. Li Qianxue actually didn't give him face at all. She didn't even want to pretend in front of outsiders.
"Nephew?"
Old Master Huo's words brought Su Chenghui back to his senses. He looked at Old Master Huo very gently. "Old Master, I'm sorry."
Old Master Huo waved his hand. "It's not that I'm sorry. Every family has its own difficulties. I understand. But you're here today. It's just in time. I have something to talk to you about. "
Talk to him? Su Chenghui was a little confused. What did he want to talk to him about?
"Speaking of which, Nephew is a lucky man. His daughters are all more capable than the other."
Su Chenghui stood there. For a moment, he didn't quite understand what Old Master Huo meant.
"Old Master?"
"It's a little too early to talk about this matter now. But I think since our children have come this far, it's naturally a matter of time. Naturally, success will follow when the conditions are right, don't you think so? "
"Come this far?"
Which step was this step?
Su Chenghui didn't quite understand and was about to ask. On the other side, there was another commotion at the entrance of the venue.
Someone came in.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had just greeted a few elders of the Huo family. The two of them didn't have time to catch their breath.
Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue came in. She saw that Li Qianxue didn't give Su Chenghui any face. She directly left him and walked towards her.
The bosses of two business partners happened to come over at this time to greet Huo Jinyao.
After greeting them, Huo Jinyao introduced Su Qingsang to them.
Su Qingsang greeted him with a smile that was appropriate for the occasion. Li Qianxue walked over at this time.
"Let me introduce you. This is the CEO of the Li Corporation in Lin City, Ms. Li Qianxue. She's also my mother-in-law. "
Huo Jinyao generously introduced Li Qianxue to some business partners. He also roughly told her about the other party's identity and the type of business the company operated.
He was so polite. Li Qianxue originally wanted to blame him for calling Su Chenghui over but not informing her, but she couldn't say anything else.
Like Su Qingsang, at such a time, she could only greet these people with a smile on her face.
After a round, she received several business cards. Some of them might indeed be able to form a cooperative relationship with the Li Corporation in the future.
She accepted Huo Jinyao's favor, so it was naturally not good for her to find him to settle the score with Su Chenghui.
However, when there was no one around, she gave Su Qingsang a look.
The matter between her and Su Chenghui would naturally be handled by their elders. If Su Qingsang wanted to help Su Chenghui, she couldn't object, but she would indeed be very disappointed.
Su Qingsang seemed to know what she was thinking and stepped forward to hold her arm. She had a flattering smile on her face.
"Mom, I was wrong."
She apologized in a low voice. Li Qianxue glanced at her reproachfully, but in the end, she couldn't bear to blame her.
At this time, she also noticed the commotion at the entrance of the venue. She turned her head with Su Qingsang, and the mother and daughter saw the figure who came in at the same time.
Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang frowned at the same time.
The woman who came in slowly was none other than Su Peizhen.
They weren't the only ones who saw it. Su Chenghui also saw it.
