To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 257: Are You Guilty?

Qiu Yanbo stopped and looked at Su Peizhen. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” he said.

“You look so guilty. You think I can’t tell?” Su Peizhen lowered her voice. It was full of anger. “Your eyes were basically glued to her.”

“Is that so? You must be mistaken.” Qiu Yanbo was unmoved.

Su Peizhen’s face became green out of anger. She stared at Qiu Yanbo and stopped him from walking away. “Qiu Yanbo, don’t be stupid. Su Qingsang is a married woman.”

“So what?” Qiu Yanbo chuckled and said, “She can still get a divorce. You think I will care about that kind of thing?”

This was a tacit admission of his feelings for QIngsang. Su Peizhen felt her chest twitch. She scowled at the man in front of her; she wanted to burn two holes into his body with her stare.

“You broke off the engagement with me because of her? Qiu Yanbo, don’t you feel guilty?”

“You are wrong about one thing. It was not because of her; I did it for myself,” Qiu Yanbo corrected her. “I thought it didn’t matter whom I married before when I had no one that I really cared about. Once I started to have real feelings for someone, I decided I wanted to marry that person. Does that make sense?”

Ignoring Su Peizhen’s sour face, Qiu Yanbo went directly into the hall.

Su Peizhen bit her lip so heavily that she nearly pierce it. She stood there, with her fist clenched and her face turning from green to white, then from white to red. Finally, she stamped aggressively and went into the banquet hall.

In the hall, Su Qingsang had returned to Huo Jinyao, who was standing with Lee Junsheng.

The two men were about the same height and build and both were very handsome in different ways. They were very attractive.

People who didn’t know about their relationship would feel that Huo Jinyao was so brilliant that he was already close with the new mayor, who had only been here for a few months. Su Qingsang, however, was clearly aware that the two were childhood friends.

“Good evening,” Lee Junsheng greeted Su Qingsang when he saw her. He was always sociable.

“Good evening.” A friend of Huo Jinyao was a friend of her. She had to show her respect.

“Jinyao was so lucky to marry such a pretty woman,” Lee Junsheng said, half joking. “I am still alone at this age. Poor me.”

“Come on.”

There were so many families in Rong City who were eager to marry their daughter to the Lee Family. There were also many young ladies of Lin City were even more eager to marry the young mayor.

“If you’re really feeling lonely, I don’t mind introducing a few women to you.”

“Don’t.” Lee Junsheng waved his hand. “I am fine.”

Huo Jinyao laughed. Lee Junsheng was very ambitious and he was not the type of person who would be trapped by love. Being mayor was not his ultimate goal, but just a stepping stone.

Halfway through the banquet, almost all the guests had arrived. Then, the MC came on stage to warm up the atmosphere, showing gratitude for the guests’ support of Tianyu Group. Then, he asked Huo Jinyao to speak on stage.

Huo Jinyao took the stage and said a few words of welcome. He thanked some companies for their trust and their willingness to cooperate with him.

It was a very commonplace speech and the audience applauded at the end. When the applause ended, Huo Jinyao reached out his hand to Su Qingsang with a slight smile on his face.

The light fell on Su Qingsang at that moment. She was surprised, wondering what Huo Jinyao wanted her to do.

Huo Jinyao looked at her encouragingly. Looking around, Su Qingsang hiked up her skirt and got up on the stage.
