  Su Peizhen leaned back in her chair and glared at Su Qingsang. She continued to glare at Su Qingsang with disapproval and menace. Her eyes seemed to say I’m going to humiliate you, and what can you do about it? 

  Su Chenghui scrunched his eyebrows slightly and Li Qianxue sat there not moving. It was already very decent of her to attend the wedding of a mere illegitimate daughter. Chou Yanbo wasn’t too fond of Su Peizhen’s aggressive manner, but he couldn’t risk offending the Li and the Su family for Su Qingsang’s sake. After all, Su Peizhen was the one that the Chou family had arranged for him to marry. 

  Su Qingsang had never expected Su Peizhen to give her any decent response, but this level of directness surprised her. She turned her face to look at Huo Jinyao to say something, but Huo Jinyao was already leading her towards the next table. Su Qingsang was dazed, and before she could speak, she was already pulled two steps forward. 

  Su Peizhen did not think that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao would dare ignore her like this. With a cold expression, she stood up and blocked Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao’s path. 

  “Wait.” 

  “What’s up?” To be honest, Su Qingsang wasn’t upset with Su Peizhen. If she were in Su Peizhen’s shoes and knew that her own father had betrayed her mother’s marriage early on, and even had an illegitimate daughter, she felt that her attitude would more or less be the same. But understanding and accepting were two different things. If they got to the bottom of this situation, she wasn’t the one who caused it. 

  It was fine that she occasionally suffered Li Qianxue’s cold shoulder, but she really didn’t want to see Su Peizhen’s unfriendly face. 

  “Shouldn’t you toast your older sister on your wedding day?” Su Peizhen asked? 

  Huo Jinyao’s expression didn’t look good. He looked at Su Peizhen’s arrogant face and wanted to just walk away with Su Qingsang. 

  “I should.” Su Qingsang didn’t give Huo Jinyao a chance to speak. She leaned against Huo Jinyao and swirled the glass the of wine in her hand. “But I thought, older sister, you don’t like me calling you ‘older sister’, and didn’t want me toasting you.” 

  “You……” Su Peizhen realized that this damn brat was getting bolder and bolder, and actually dared to talk back to her. “Indeed, I don’t like you toasting me, and I don’t even like you appearing in front of me, but we are still sisters. Since you are getting married, you should still do what is necessary in order to avoid people saying that you were not properly disciplined when you leave the Su family, and to not drag down the Su family with you.” 

  Su Peizhen did not wait for Su Qingsang to reply and continued to speak while looking at Huo Jinyao. “You’re a married person now, and you should respect your female virtues. Remember to stay away from Yanbo next time and don’t forget that he is your brother-in-law. Don’t stoop so low, even if you didn’t marry a good man and covet other people’s’ husbands all day long. And that man is even your brother-in-law. If this really does get out, then the Su family will really be humiliated by you.” 

  Her words were too impolite and Su Qingsang’s expression was gray. There were many guests and it was supposed to be her “good wedding day” with Huo Jinyao. Could she really not stand seeing her being happy? 

  Even if the marriage between her and Huo Jinyao was fake and an act, Su Peizhen was still her older sister. What good did it do for her to ruin her own reputation? In addition, Su Qingsan had never wanted to seduce Chou Yanbo. She was angry and wanted to strike back, but Huo Jinyao suddenly hugged her shoulders with one arm, and at the same time, he raised his other arm gently. He splashed the half glass of wine right in Su Peizhen’s face. 

  “You……”


  Chapter 11: Your Mouth Really Stinks, Let Me Help You Clean it

  Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio 

  Su Peizhen’s expression was really not good after having had red wine splashed in her face. Su Chenghui, Li Qianxue, and Chou Yanbo all stood up. 

  Huo Jinyao seemed to not have taken notice of the tense atmosphere and didn’t seem to care whether or not the guests around them would gossip. He glared at Su Peizhen coldly, and said in an even colder tone, “Your mouth really stinks, let me help you clean it.” 

  “Huo Jinyao.” This name rang multiple times in Su Peizhen’s head, and she couldn’t forget it even if she wanted to, especially now. His name was just a damn word in her mind now. 

  “What are you?” Huo Jinyao had a threatening look in his eyes. His eyes swept across Su Peizhen and looked at Chou Yanbo who was standing behind her and said, “Is your man better looking than me? Or is his figure better than mine? As long as Qingsang isn’t blind, she will certainly know who is better, alright?” 

  “You……” Su Peizhen’s face was cloudy. Not only because Huo Jinyao was taking his anger out on her, but also because everything he had said was true. 

  Chou Yanbo was five foot nine and could be said to be tall, but Huo Jinyao was at least six foot one. His upside down triangle figure was strong and had a straight composure, and his features were handsomely shaped; Chou Yanbo was a pretty good-looking man, but nonetheless, his looks still lost a few points to Huo Jinyao. Huo Jinyao was absolutely correct about their physical appearances. 

  “Is that so? Maybe she is actually blind?” Su Peizhen was resentful, and her words were becoming more and more unkind. “After all, Yanbo isn’t just outstanding just because of his looks; he is the heir of the Chou family, the next head of the household.” 

  “Oh……” Huo Jinyao didn’t seem to be shaken at all from hearing Su Peizhen’s words. In fact, a playful expression emerged on his face. “So you don’t like him for his looks and his figure, but for his family background, huh?” He clicked his tongue a few times and turned to look at Chou Yanbo pitifully. “Don’t worry, I understand, I won’t tell people.” 

  Su Peizhen heard the tone in Huo Jinyao’s words, and her face turned from green to black. “Huo, don’t confuse my words. That is not what I mean at all. I……” 

  “Whether or not it’s what you mean, you don’t have to explain it to me.” Huo Jinyao pursed his lips at Chou Yanbo. “It’s fine as long as he believes you.” 

  Su Qingsang was already dumbfounded by when Su Peizhen was splashed with the wine. She just watched as Huo Jinyao turned disadvantage to advantage, changed passiveness to aggressiveness, and turned the wedding into his stage so easily. 

  Su Qingsang was really speechless now. Whatever she said was wrong. Although she didn’t have to be happy to the point of wanting to dance, she was still secretly happy. 

  Su Chenghui’s expression didn’t look too good, and before Li Qianxue was about to speak with her cold expression, Huo Jinyao had hugged Su Qingsang’s waist and said, “Apologies, my hand had slipped just now. I think that Lady Su is generous and will not fight with small city commoners like us, right? Qingsang, let’s go. Let’s continue to toast.” The way that he spoke without pausing to breathe left Su Qingsang in awe. Before she could react, that man had already rushed towards the next table with her. 

  Su Peizhen wanted to chase after them, but Chou Yanbo had grabbed her hand. “Your clothes are all wet, go change.” No matter what Su Peizhen wanted to say again, she had already fallen to a lower level today. 

  An expression of deep thought swept across Chou Yanbo’s face as he stared at Huo Jinyao’s back. This Huo Jinyao definitely wasn’t simple. But like Su Peizhen, he couldn’t think of any family with the surname “Huo” anywhere in Lin City. 

  Chou Yanbo waved at Su Peizhen to go change and turned around to look at Li Qianxue. “Aunt, have you ever heard of a family with the surname ‘Huo’ in Lin City?” 

  “No.” Li Qianxue also had taken notice of the situation just now. This Huo Jinyao was indeed not a simple one. It seemed she would need to have people go check out the background of this Huo Jinyao. After all, she still needed to be on the defense against Su Qingsang, who changed grooms so suddenly. Was it because she had a hidden goal? 

  If Su Qingsang really was up to no good, Li Qianxue believed that she would make Su Qingsang regret having been born every minute and every second of her life.
