  He Xuanyao didn’t feel too great; she was involved in this proposal as well. 

  Did Huo Jinyao mean that my abilities aren’t enough? Is he really unsatisfied with the proposal or unsatisfied with me? 

  “Chief Huo, I’m not sure which parts of the proposal you’re unsatisfied with. I think that we can improve it.” 

  “No need to change anything. I’m unsatisfied with the whole thing.” 

  Huo Jinyao didn’t leave her any face at all. 

  He Xuanyao became angry. “Chief Huo, our two companies are old partners. You seem to be……” 

  “You also know that we are old partners. Since we are old partners, then you should definitely know our standards. Do you think that it’s suitable for you to come up with something like this?” 

  “Regardless, you should still tell me which parts you’re unsatisfied with.” 

  “I told you, all of it.” 

  Huo Jinyao’s words really annoyed He Xuanyao. She breathed deeply to calm herself down. “Chief Huo, Aunty and Uncle Huo……” 

  “Stop it.” Huo Jinyao stood up and stared coldly at He Xuanyao sitting across the office desk. 

  “Don’t bring up my parents in front of me. Don’t bring personal matters into professional matters. If you like my parents, or if you think my parents like you, then you can be with my parents. As for working together, especially in this regard, I make the call. Got it?” 

  He Xuanyao was someone who had seen a lot of things, but she was unable to lift her head up in front of Huo Jinyao at that moment. 

  She gaped and couldn’t find her voice. “Jin……” 

  “This is no personal or outside matter, please call me ‘Chief Huo’ or ‘Mr. Huo’. Please leave now.” 

  Huo Jinyao sat down again and He Xuanyao, who couldn’t handle this shame, bit down on her teeth and left. 

  “Don’t forget your proposal.” 

  She heard Huo Jinyao’s voice and had no choice but to clench her teeth to go grab it. 

  I will remember this, she thought. 

  Huo Jinyao watched the door close and picked up the phone. “Put out the news that Tian Area is planning to open the invitation to the public for the net project.” 

  Tian Area was the name for the company based in Lin City. He family? Hmph. Do they really think that they’re the only ones who can talk about working together? That’s not the case. ……

  Luo Meishan put down the shopping bag in her hands and sat down at the coffee table. She looked at Su Peizhen and said, “Peizhen, the clothing we just saw really suited you. How come you didn’t buy it?” 

  “I didn’t like it.” 

  Su Peizhen’s tone was cold. No matter whether she was outside or at home, she was always cold towards others. 

  Her clothes were taken care of by professionals and all sorts of new items from a variety of luxury brands were brought to the Su household before they went on the market. She only came out to shop because she had nothing to do today. 

  “That’s right.” Luo Meishan thought of something. “I think I saw your younger brother when I went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago.” 

  “Yuxin?” Su Peizhen’s eyebrows jumped and she became curious. “Why did he go to the hospital? Was he not feeling well?” 

  The Su household had a set of primary care physicians that would do yearly check-ups. Although Su Yuxin went to school, he went to a wealthy school. They should have school doctors. 

  “Not sure. But I think he came from the gynecology department.” Luo Meishan paused. “Afterwards, I went to take a look. It seems like your family’s illegitimate daughter works at that hospital.” 

  Su Qingsang? What did Su Yuxin go find her for? 

  Su Peizhen wasn’t pleased. “Are you sure?”


  Chapter 98: What Does that Bastard of Your Family Want to Do?

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

  “How could I not know your brother? I even went back to have a look at him. The office of the bastard of your family was right there. If I am not mistaken, your brother was coming out of that office when I saw him.” 

  Su Peizhen was lost in thought, and Luo Meishan added, “I somehow think this might be a trick of that bastard, wasn’t it?” 

  “How?” It was not really that Su Peizhen looked down on Su Qingsang. What tricks could she possibly play with that quiet nature of hers? 

  “Isn’t it obvious? Think about it. Your mother is the only daughter of the Li family, so the properties of both Su and Li families will be yours and your brother’s, and that bastard will get nothing. But what if she was not resigned to it and wants more? She cannot mess with you, of course, but your brother is too young to understand. So it’s not impossible that she was trying to get him on her……” 

  There was no need to finish the words. No one was a fool. 

  Su Peizhen pursed her lips and said, “How dare she?” Su Chenghui had given her a dowry when she had married, which should not have been hers at all. Not to mention that the Su Family had bought her a house and a car. 

  “Why not?” Luo Meishan sneered. “There are some people who are always greedy and dissatisfied. Compared with the Li family’s property, what she owned now is nothing.” 

  Su Peizhen stood up suddenly, and Luo Meishan immediately took her hand and asked, “What are you gonna do?” 

  “I’m going to find her.” 

  “Don’t.” Luo Meishan took her hand and made her sit down. “If she doesn’t admit it, you can’t do anything with her now,” she said. 

  Su Peizhen sat down again, pondering over Luo Meishan’s words. “You are right. But she will definitely give herself away if she really has such plans.” 

  “So what do you want to do?” 

  “The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. I’ll ask my dad to call her back for the celebration. If she doesn’t have that plan, she will keep a distance from Yuxin, just like before. If she has an ulterior motive, however, then she will certainly approach Yuxin.” 

  “Brilliant.” Luo Meishan gave her a look of appreciation. “Then you can catch her in the act.” 

  “No.” Su Peizhen shook her head, sharpness flashing across her beautiful eyes. 

  Su Qingsang, we are good if you do not trouble me, but if you mess with me, I’ll let you know what it means to draw water out of a sieve. ……

  When Huo Jinyao came out of the bathroom, he found Su Qingsang in a daze with her mobile phone in her hand. 

  “What’s the matter?” 

  Su Qingsang shook her head because she didn’t know what to say. 

  “Sweetheart,” Huo Jinyao put his arm around her waist, “has your period ended yet? How many days has it been?” 

  “Stop it now.” Su Qingsang had no time to talk to him now. She held her phone, her face looking a bit grim. 

  “You all right? Sweetheart?” Huo Jinyao sat up and looked at her nervously. 

  “It was my father; he called me home for the festival.” 

  “Festival? What festival?” 

  “Mid-Autumn festival is next week.” Su Qingsang’s voice was light. “My father suddenly called me back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.” 

  “Go then,” Huo Jinyao said carelessly. 

  Su Qingsang gave him a look. “Since I went to boarding high school, my father had never asked me to go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. He suddenly calls me back just like that. What do you think……” 

  “So what?” Huo Jinyao shrugged his shoulders with a normal expression. “Because you got married this year and are not alone anymore. The new son-in-law is supposed to visit his parents-in-law sooner or later.” However, he had already visited them and even left on bad terms in the end.
