Chapter 565: Unexpected Meeting
The man in the photo was quite charismatic. Although he was not as handsome as Huo Jinyao, he was manly, stylish, and had distinct facial features.
More importantly, there were also individual photos of him other than those pictures of him and Su Qingsang. His eyes were focused and earnest in the way he looked at Su Qingsang while she was leaving.
If one was to say that the man was not interested in Su Qingsang, Su Peizhen would not believe it at all.
Su Peizhen snickered while looking at the pictures.
Su Qingsang, oh Su Qingsang, you have given me such a good piece of information to use against you. If I don’t make good use of it, I would be letting you down, sister.
Su Peizhen swiftly sent the pictures to her phone using the Bluetooth function. After saving the pictures one by one, she quickly went down and asked for another fruit platter.
Jiang did not realize that her phone had been meddled with. Instead, she was grateful, and she thanked Su Peizhen for helping her bring up another fruit platter.
Since Su Peizhen had gotten what she wanted, she did not go into Liu Tongjia’s room to ask for trouble. She then left and went back down.
Old Master Huo was still waiting for her to continue the game of Go. Su Peizhen smiled and explained that she had indeed taken a long while to think about the next move.
However, she made a silly move in the game and lost in the end.
Losing the game did not matter to her, however, as she could win in other aspects. Huo Yifan was baffled by the unusual excitement she had.
When they left the Huo Mansion, he couldn’t help but ask Su Peizhen about what she was so happy about.
“I found out about something interesting, so I’m very happy.”
Su Peizhen said with a grin while gazing at the road ahead of her. She was not going to show the pictures to Huo Yifan for now.
She still had to think about how to make full use of the pictures.
Although she scrolled through the pictures in a hurry, she did not miss out on the pictures that were taken in the backyard of Huo Mansion.
She could also see the parrot behind them. If the person could come into the Huo Mansion, he would be related to the Huo Family.
On the other hand, if he wasn’t from any well-known family which had a relationship with the Huo Family, then he would be one of their relatives.
It didn’t matter which was the case, but this matter itself was enough to make Su Peizhen thrilled.
“Did something nice and flawless happen?”
Huo Yifan confirmed once again that Su Peizhen’s behavior was unusual that day.
Su Peizhen turned to look at him, a conspicuous smile forming on her radiant face.
“It’s nothing! It’s just that I found a way to make Grandpa Huo like me even more.”
Despite her words, Huo Yifan’s intuition told him that Su Peizhen was lying.
“No matter what you’re going to do in the Huo Family, you need to let me know beforehand. You need to remember that we are working with each other now.”
“Of course, I won’t forget that!”
She was planning to ask Huo Yifan about that man, so she would not leave him out of this. As for the photos of the man standing together with Su Qingsang however, there would be no need to show them to him.
She would need to think carefully about how to do it.
Su Peizhen had a fox-like smile on her face, which made Huo Yifan narrow his eyes.
He stopped the car by the road and grabbed onto Su Peizhen’s waist. Disregarding everything, he kissed her on the lips.
Su Peizhen raised her eyebrows just a little, and very quickly, she reversed their roles and dominated him.
The moment he backed away from the kiss, she got up and straddled him.
“Why? Do you want to try something new today?”
“Yeah, are you daring enough?”
“There’s nothing to be scared about. I would dare to do it if you dare to.”
She tilted her head down, and in an extremely good mood, she pressed her lips onto his.
She had a wild aggressive look in her eyes, and with her bold and unabashed responses, Huo Yifan felt a flame igniting in his heart.
He began taking off her clothes, ignoring everything else.
......
Su Qingsang was roused from her sleep by several kisses planted on her. She waved her hand around unconsciously, as the itch on her cheeks was unbearable. Her hand was caught and held on by someone as well.
She could only open her eyes since she was unable to move her hand, and she realized that Huo Jinyao’s face was directly above hers.
“Morning, my dear.”
Huo Jinyao pecked her on the lips, and Su Qingsang blinked.
“What’s going on?”
“The weather is nice today.” Huo Jinyao kissed her again. “Darling, let’s go out and have fun!”
“You don’t have to work today?”
There were indeed still many places in Rong City that she had not visited. However, Su Qingsang did not expect Huo Jinyao to have the time and mood to hang out with her.
It was her turn to take a break today, given she had performed surgeries yesterday and the day before. However, it didn’t seem to be a weekend that day.
“Nope. I have time to keep you company today.”
He would have to spend some time outside sometimes. Otherwise, how else would those people get a chance for anything?
Su Qingsang nodded, and she looked at the time. “Where are we going?”
“To be honest with you, we can only have fun in the afternoon. We have to go somewhere in the morning.”
“Where’s that?”
“Tang Mohan wanted someone to do the ribbon-cutting at his newly opened departmental store. So, we’re going to support him.”
Entertainment and the departmental stores were the main businesses of Tang Mohan’s family. Up to this day, they already had many chain stores around the country, and they were also doing quite well in the entertainment industry.
The opening of this departmental store happened to be the hundredth chain store under Tang Mohan’s company.
He had specially called for Huo Jinyao to join him for the celebration, as well as partake in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Su Qingsang knew that they had a good relationship with each other, so she quickly dressed herself up. She picked a new Chanel suit set while putting on her clothes.
She had a completely different style, as compared to when she was working in the hospital.
“My wife is so beautiful today!”
Huo Jinyao gaped at her with admiration. Su Qingsang glanced over at him, her eyes sweeping over his face.
A dark-colored three-piece suit, and a good inverted triangle body figure. The strands of his hair were also combed up neatly, and he looked like a social elite.
“My husband is very handsome today as well!”
“Thank you.”
With a smile, Huo Jinyao extended his hand towards Su Qingsang, motioning her to hold his hand.
Su Qingsang held onto his hand and looked at him. They smiled at each other and walked out together.
Tang Mohan’s newly opened departmental store was huge. It wasn’t located in the city, but it was situated near the suburbs instead.
The location had several newly developed neighborhoods, and there were also two business districts nearby. It was therefore quite insightful of them to choose this location.
There was a large crowd, and the pre-opening publicity was done well. There were all sorts of activities after the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
A lot of people were around, and Su Qingsang had always disliked crowded places, so they left after they spoke to Tang Mohan.
There were eight levels in the departmental store, with a different department at each level.
Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had originally wanted to walk around for a bit, but they gave up after seeing the congested crowd.
They walked towards the elevator, planning to take the elevator to the underground parking garage and leave from there.
When the elevator arrived, the person walking out of it was Xiang Caiping, unexpectedly.
When she saw Xiang Caiping, Su Qingsang was stunned for a moment. She had no idea that they would meet under such circumstances.
Xiang Caiping was also surprised to see Su Qingsang, and both of them just stood there, unmoving.
There were other people in the elevator, and they started rushing her to move when they saw that she was just standing there.
Xiang Caiping could only move out of the elevator quickly. As the people behind her rushed out, they inadvertently pushed Xiang Caiping towards Su Qingsang.
“Aunt Xiang.”
Su Qingsang greeted Xiang Caiping. Her voice wasn’t too loud, as she was unsure if Xiang Caiping would be willing to acknowledge her greetings.
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang, then glanced at her hand, which was locked together with Huo Jinyao’s.
She gently nodded as a response.
This response was beyond Su Qingsang’s expectations. She smiled and stepped forward.
“Aunt Xiang, are you here for shopping?”
Xiang Caiping did not say anything and only nodded again.
Su Peizhen got busier and busier. Previously, she would at least have one meal at home, but now, she didn’t even eat at home for all three meals.
But she had managed the company well, and she had just gotten another two new low-cost supplies.
If Xiang Caiping rebuked her too harshly, Su Peizhen would just say that she was busy with work. Furthermore, it was the truth that the business had improved after it was taken over by Su Peizhen.
She had a look at the account books, and she knew that her daughter was capable. But the more capable she was, the lesser the time they could spend together.
As the time they spent together decreased, Xiang Caiping would unconsciously think about Su Qingsang.
She would then start to regret and blame herself when she thought about Su Qingsang. How could she be like that? Su Peizhen was her real daughter.
With such a struggle, Xiang Caiping also became unwilling to stay at home, so she would go out for a walk in the day.
She had already known that this departmental store had opened up. She used to not like crowds, but now, she felt that the more people there were, the merrier.
She did not expect to bump into Su Qingsang, and she was a little uncomfortable facing her now.
“Aunt Xiang, you... Have you eaten?”
Since it was about time to eat, Su Qingsang asked out of courtesy. Xiang Caiping shook her head.
Su Peizhen would always be out. She didn’t see any point in eating alone, and she would just eat anything available.
Previously in Lin City, even if Su Qingsang was not at home, she had a housekeeper who would cook and chat with her every day.
But now...
Xiang Caiping shook her head. She had not eaten yet, and she did not have the appetite either. Su Peizhen did not come home yesterday, and she had merely said that she had something on when Xiang Caiping called her.
Su Peizhen was her daughter, yet she felt a long distance between them.
Xiang Caiping did not like the feeling at all, but she couldn’t even find words to reprimand Su Peizhen.
“Then, how about you join us?”
Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao when she spoke, her eyes asking for his permission. Her eyes also had an expression that only both of them would understand.
“It’s just that we have not eaten as well. How about just coming with us?”
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang, then looked at Huo Jinyao. Her grip on her bag tightened, and she nodded once again.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao did not bring Xiang Caiping anywhere far. There were several restaurants at the top level in the departmental store.
The three of them picked a restaurant and went in. Su Qingsang sat down, asked Huo Jinyao and Xiang Caiping what they wanted to eat, and ordered the food.
The waiter served some refreshments and took the menu. The three of them were left alone at the table.
Huo Jinyao had a good impression of Xiang Caiping, so the expression on his face was mild and gentle.
Su Qingsang looked towards Xiang Caiping and realized that she didn’t look too good. She had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked more haggard than when she was in Lin City.
“Aunt Xiang, how are you recently?”
