Chapter 603: You Calling My Name Makes Me Want To Vomit

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

“Don’t call me that. You calling my name makes me want to vomit.”

Li Qianxue’s words were harsh and merciless. She looked at Su Chenghui and pointed at the door. “Get out. Get out of here.”

“Qianxue, do you have to do this? Can’t we talk things out?”

“Talk things out? Who wants to talk things out with you? Did you talk things out with Qingsang?”

Li Qianxue hated Su Peizhen whenever she thought of the deeds that Su Peizhen had done and the grievances that Su Qingsang had suffered.

“Okay, since you want to talk things out, I’ll talk things out with you. You’ll also know what deeds your precious daughter had done.”

With a cold face, she suppressed the anger in her heart and briefly told him what Su Peizhen had done a few days ago. She was satisfied to see Su Chenghui’s expression change.

“Qianxue, what did you say?” Could it be true?

He couldn’t help but look at Su Qingsang and found that her expression was indifferent. Obviously, she was dissatisfied with him now.

Li Qianxue sneered. He was still partial towards Su Peizhen even now. How dare he come to her door and criticize her daughter like that? Enough was enough.

“What did I say? Do you think I would lie to you?” Li Qianxue sneered. “Let me tell you, I disdain doing such things.”

As she spoke, she turned around to look at Su Qingsang. Her eyes were full of pity and an almost undetectable sense of guilt.

“If it weren’t for Qingsang’s good luck that the person she met was Chou Yanbo, if Su Peizhen had asked a random man to hurt Qingsang, would Qingsang still be able to stand here today?”

Of course, in this era, society was much more tolerant towards women. But what was Su Qingsang’s status now?

She was the wife of the CEO of the Tianyu Group. The eldest granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family.

“Huo Jinyao was just giving her a taste of her own medicine. Yet, you come here just like that to help her vent her anger and criticize your other daughter. Su Chenghui, you really are a good father to Qingsang.”

Su Chenghui’s expression had changed several times. He didn’t expect things to turn out this way.

He had just asked Su Qingsang, but she said that she hadn’t seen Su Peizhen.

Su Qingsang stood at the side and didn’t speak. She felt a little helpless, and also a little powerless.

She no longer looked at Su Chenghui as intimately as before. Su Chenghui felt uneasy under her gaze.

“You, why didn’t you say it just now?” If she had said it, he wouldn’t have misunderstood.

“You started blaming Qingsang the moment you came in. What do you want her to say?”

Li Qianxue was angered by Su Chenghui and laughed. “Su Chenghui, your heart is really biased. Su Peizhen is your daughter, and Qingsang isn’t your daughter, right?”

Su Chenghui was speechless. He saw the anger on Li Qianxue’s face and knew that he had messed up again.

“Qianxue.”

“I remember telling you that you owe Qingsang. You owe her for the rest of your life.”

“Su Chenghui, do you know that the person you should compensate the most is Qingsang? But how did you do it?”

“You allowed Su Peizhen to hurt her, and you allowed her to scheme against Qingsang. In your heart, you don’t regard Qingsang as your daughter at all.”

Su Chenghui stood there with an awkward expression on his refined face. “Qianxue, I’m not, I didn’t –”

“You didn’t? Let’s not talk about what Su Peizhen did. Huo Jinyao only gave her a small punishment, but even if he really wanted to payback against Su Peizhen, so what?”

Li Qianxue was livid with anger. “She’d been occupying the magpie’s nest for so many years, and Qingsang has been wronged for so many years. So what if I want to sever my relationship with her?”

Her attitude was harsh and aggressive. The anger on her face grew with every word she said.

Knowing that he had made a mistake this time, Su Chenghui kept retreating.

“Qingsang, I’m sorry.”

He turned to look at Li Qianxue, and the expression in his eyes became more and more regretful. “Qianxue, I’m sorry.”

“Sorry? I don’t need your apology.” Li Qianxue didn’t accept it at all. His apology was too cheap. “You had always been like this. You always say sorry so nonchalantly after hurting others. How could there be such an easy thing in this world? You say sorry, and then you want others to forgive you? You want others to forget all the wrong things you’ve done?”

“I didn’t mean that.” Su Chenghui was very regretful. He seemed to had done wrong again. Again and again.

He had clearly decided to stand on Li Qianxue’s side no matter what the situation was, but now, he had let things turn out like this. This was his fault.

He wanted to apologize, but the word “sorry” had become too light. “Qianxue, I promise, I won’t do this again in the future. I –”

“No need. Su Chenghui, we don’t need you in our future. Without you, we can live better.”

Li Qianxue pointed at the door again as she spoke.

“Su Chenghui, get lost. You aren’t welcome here.”

Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue and his lips moved. He wanted to explain, but he didn’t know how to.

He originally wanted to repair their relationship with Li Qianxue, but these incidents kept happening one after another lately.

Not only did he fail to repair the relationship with Li Qianxue, but the relationship between them became worse and worse.

This was something Su Chenghui didn’t expect and didn’t want to see.

“Qianxue, I –” Can she give him another chance?

So that he could make up for his mistakes? He really knew that he was wrong.

“I said get lost.” Li Qianxue was very angry, and she was really fed up with Su Chenghui. “Su Chenghui, you can go and feel sorry for your precious daughter. In any case, you don’t regard Qingsang as your daughter. Also, we have already divorced. Whether it’s me or Qingsang, we’ll have nothing to do with you from now on. Please don’t appear in front of us again.”

“I didn’t, I’m not. I –” Su Chenghui wanted to defend himself, but Li Qianxue was unwilling to listen.

She pushed Su Chenghui and asked someone to throw him out. Everyone who worked in the Li family knew that Su Chenghui was the original master, so they were also in a difficult position.

When Su Chenghui saw this scene, he knew that it was useless for him to stay. He could only try again some other time.

He looked at Li Qianxue and wanted to say something, but he hesitated. A lot of words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he helplessly lowered his shoulders and left dejectedly.

After he left, Li Qianxue walked to the sofa and sat down. Her condition wasn’t much better than Su Chenghui’s. She looked extremely tired.

But soon, she stood up again and looked at Su Qingsang, who was standing at the side. She went up and hugged her.

She didn’t speak, but her expression was full of guilt.

“Mom, don’t be angry.”

Compared to Li Qianxue’s anger, Su Qingsang’s sadness and discomfort only lasted for a short while.

She was already used to it. She was used to Su Chenghui not having her in his heart and not taking her seriously, so she didn’t feel that sad.

What made her sad was Li Qianxue’s attitude. Unwittingly, her relationship with Su Chenghui seemed to be getting more and more irreconcilable.

Li Qianxue shook her head. She stepped back a little and patted Su Qingsang’s cheek.

“Okay, you continue to pack your things. I’ll accompany you.”

“Mom?”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

She had already dealt the biggest blow. This situation was no longer a blow to her any more. She was just feeling wronged on behalf of Su Qingsang.

“Qingsang, it’s been hard on you.”

Su Qingsang shook her head and held Li Qianxue’s hand as they went upstairs. “Mom, let’s go. Help me pack. Didn’t you have something to say to me just now?”

Li Qianxue thought of what she wanted to say and her lips moved.

“If you go back to Rong City, remember, remember –”

“Yes?”

“Remember to be on guard against Su Peizhen, not only her, but also those who are tied to her.”

Li Qianxue said it out loud in the end. She believed that Su Qingsang could understand.

“Okay.” Su Qingsang nodded and didn’t object. “Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let Su Peizhen bully me again. Besides, she probably won’t care about that now.”

After this incident, it was basically impossible for Su Peizhen to marry into the Huo family.

Her reputation in Lin City was already bad. She believed that she wouldn’t be able to stir up any waves.

“I don’t mean that you have to think that badly of her. It’s just that she’s no longer the Su Peizhen from before. I’m always afraid that she’ll hurt you again if there’s the chance.”

“Don’t worry, Mom. I know what to do. I know what to do.”

“That’s good.”

Li Qianxue kept reminding her, but no matter how worried she was, Su Qingsang still had to go to Rong City with Huo Jinyao. Now, she could only remind Huo Jinyao to protect Su Qingsang.

..

It was already afternoon when Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang got off the plane.

The two of them got into Yang Wenchang’s car. Huo Jinyao told Su Qingsang to go home to rest while he made a trip to the company.

Su Qingsang knew that he must have left a lot of work to be dealt with during this period of time, so she didn’t argue with him. She simply said that she would go to the old mansion.

She had brought gifts from home to give to Old Master Huo, and since she was back, she had to go and greet Liu Tongjia.

Huo Jinyao didn’t object. He asked Yang Wenchang to send him to the company first, and then send Su Qingsang to the Huo family.

Coincidentally, when he entered the Tianyu Group. Huo Yifan just happened to be coming downstairs.

There were a few people following behind him. Huo Jinyao glanced at them briefly, and a few of them were familiar faces. He remembered that these people were from the previous research team, but now they were all following behind Huo Yifan.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes slightly, and Huo Yifan naturally saw him too.

He spoke to his secretary beside him, and the group of people stood there motionlessly. He walked straight towards Huo Jinyao.

“Brother, you’re back.”

Huo Jinyao’s expression was relaxed, and he chuckled. “Yes, I’m back.”

“Not only you’re back, brother, but I’m also back too.”

His words had a double meaning. Huo Jinyao nodded. “Yes, I can see that.”

“It was Uncle who told me to come back,” Huo Yifan added with a smile. “Speaking of which, I think Uncle is still at the office today. Do you want to go upstairs and look for him?”

There was a sense of intimacy in his voice, as if he was Huo Mingguang’s son.

Huo Jinyao wouldn’t bicker with Huo Yifan over such a trivial matter, so he took a step aside.

“You seem to be going out. Go ahead.”

“Yes. The R & D team has been working hard these past few days. I said I would treat them to a meal to reward them.”

“Oh right, you probably don’t know about the case we’re working on now, right? It’s okay, Uncle has a copy of my proposal. You can ask him to show it to you. I don’t mind.”

After saying that, Huo Yifan went back to the group of people and left. Unlike in the past, he couldn’t hide the smugness on his face.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and watched Huo Yifan leave with the group of people. Finally, he lifted his feet and went into the President’s private elevator.

Huo Mingguang was indeed in the company today. After Huo Jinyao entered the door, Huo Mingguang sized him up from top to bottom. He found that Huo Jinyao only had a slight tan, and he seemed to be in good health.

“You still know to come back?” Huo Mingguang put the documents in his hands to the side. He was indeed a little displeased. “Don’t you know who you are? Why did you have to go so far away to do a good deed? Is there no good deed for you to do in Rong City?”

Huo Jinyao did not answer his question. He took a few steps forward and sat down opposite Huo Mingguang.

“I bumped into Huo Yifan when I came up just now.”

Huo Mingguang immediately put away the blame on his face. He looked at Huo Jinyao with a slightly uneasy expression.

“Dad, I really want to know, what method did he use to convince you to let him re-enter Tianyu Group?”

“Jinyao.” Huo Mingguang’s voice was filled with helplessness. “Yifan is your cousin.”

“Yes, he’s my cousin, a cousin who had always been trying to drag me down from the CEO position, a cousin who had always been thinking of replacing me.”

“Jin Yao.” Huo Mingguang’s expression turned serious. “What nonsense are you talking about? Yifan just made a mistake last time. He’s done his best for the company over the years. Why are you so fixated on his mistakes?”

Huo Jinyao pursed his lips into a straight line. He stared straight at Huo Mingguang until Huo Mingguang felt a little uneasy. Then, he finally spoke.

“Dad, Huo Yifan is your son, right?”

“What are you talking about?” Huo Mingguang was furious. “Do you think I’m siding with him out of bias? That’s because he did a good job.”

As he spoke, he took out a proposal from his drawer. “I knew you wouldn’t be convinced, so I asked him to leave a copy for me. You can take a good look at it yourself.”

Huo Jinyao took the proposal from his hands. He didn’t believe that Huo Yifan would have any good ideas.

What he should do during this period of time was to hide in a corner and keep a low profile.

However, after flipping through a few pages of the proposal, his expression immediately changed.

He glanced at Huo Mingguang with an obvious look of shock in his eyes. “You’re saying that this was done by Huo Yifan?”

“What else could it be?” Huo Mingguang raised his eyebrows and was rather displeased with his son’s questioning. “I’ve said it before, Yifan is a real talent. You always look down on him like this, and you’re always targeting him, but he still wants to do his part for the company.”

With a smack, Huo Mingguang placed the proposal in front of him.

“Dad, I just found out today that not only does my mother not treat me like a son and wanted me to die that year, it’s also the same for you.”

Huo Mingguang’s expression turned extremely ugly. He glared at Huo Jinyao and said, “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Am I spouting nonsense?”

Huo Jinyao propped his hands on the edge of his desk and leaned forward a little. He glared at Huo Mingguang and spoke softly.

“Dad, Huo Yifan is a traitor. He even tried to set me up and embarrass me, but in your eyes, it’s me who looks down on him and targets him all the time? Isn’t your favoritism because you wish I was the one who died back then?”

“Huo Jinyao.”

Huo Mingguang was so angry that his face turned red. “Shut up.”

“I’ll shut up after I’m done talking.”

Huo Jinyao stood up straight. “It’s been so many years. No matter how hard mom tries to make things difficult for me, you’ve never said a word for me. I keep thinking that perhaps you don’t want to stand between me and mom, or perhaps you just want to take good care of Mom’s emotions. I only know now that you and mom are the same. You blame me, hate me, and wish that I was dead.”

Huo Mingguang’s expression was extremely ugly, but Huo Jinyao felt indifferent.

He glanced at the proposal again, turned around, and left without saying a word.

He returned to his office and settled some of the accumulated work. Looking at the time, he saw that it was getting late. Just as he was about to get off work, Yang Wenchang happened to be back after sending Su Qingsang back to the old mansion.

“President Huo.”

Yang Wenchang had to stay in Rong City to deal with some matters, so when Huo Jinyao went to the disaster area previously, he sent two batches of supplies then came back.

These few days, Yang Wenchang witnessed Huo Yifan’s return to the company and was really angry.

As soon as Huo Jinyao returned, he couldn’t wait to report Huo Yifan’s recent actions and movements to him.

After that, Yang Wenchang added, “Manager Huo has been really brazen recently. That attitude of his, it’s as if he’s still the vice president of the company.”

Huo Jinyao’s hand unconsciously tapped on the table. After Yang Wenchang finished speaking, he glanced at him.

“Don’t worry about his attitude for now. Go and investigate something.”

“What?”

“Where did Huo Yifan get that AI proposal from?”

Yang Wenchang froze. Huo Yifan had recently set up a department to specialize in research and development. He had never known what trick he was pulling, but he didn’t expect it to be related to AI.

“Such a promising and cutting-edge proposal definitely isn’t something Huo Yifan can produce. Go and find out who he’s been in contact with recently.”

“Okay.”

“Also, get someone to keep an eye on Su Peizhen.”

Although Su Peizhen was still in Lin City, she would probably return to Rong City soon.

After all, there was no place for her in Lin City anymore. However, she still had Huo Yifan in Rong City.

“Yes.” Yang Wenchang nodded. Huo Jinyao thought about it for a moment and stopped him.

“Oh right, get two bodyguards to protect Qingsang’s safety.”

Yang Wenchang froze. “President Huo?”

“Protect her in the dark, but not in the open. Qingsang doesn’t like people following her.”

“Yes.”

After giving out all the instructions, Huo Jinyao leaned back in his chair.

He knew how much Huo Yifan was capable of. He was indeed capable, but Huo Jinyao didn’t believe that he could come up with such a plan.

All he wanted to know now was who was helping Huo Yifan behind the scenes.
