Chapter 586: That Day Will Be Your Day Of Glory
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I like how smart you are.”
Su Peizhen was still in a daze. Huo Yifan’s hand had already reached into her clothes. “Don’t worry, I’ll have someone come over tomorrow to measure you and tailor your dress. I promise that the day of the anniversary will be your day of glory.”
“Is that so?” Su Peizhen’s hand clung onto his shoulder and she leaned closer to his face. “If that’s the case, then I really have to thank you in advance.”
“Okay. You can start now and properly express your gratitude.”
Huo Yifan exerted force with his hand, and Su Peizhen’s clothes were torn into two halves.
Su Peizhen glared at him. This man wasvery perverted sometimes. He could have taken them off properly, but he chose to tear them.
“Pervert.”
“Don’t you like perverts like me?”
Huo Yifan smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll make you like me even more.”
Su Peizhen wrapped her hands around his neck and said seductively, “Is that so? Then prove it to me.”
“I’d be happy to.”
On the sofa in the living room, the two of them rolled around.
At this time, Su Peizhen had forgotten all about Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue.
She only needed to firmly hold onto Huo Yifan’s heart to let them know.
She, Su Peizhen, also had the right to be on equal footing with them.
..
Before Su Chenghui came, he had already thought of giving Su Peizhen, in addition to Su Qingsang, a call.
He wanted to ask her how she was doing recently? He wanted to know how Su Peizhen was doing recently, especially after the unhappy breakup with Li Qianxue.
It had nothing to do with anything else. After so many years of caring for and taking care of her, he was already used to it. He was constantly thinking about his daughter.
However, to his disappointment, Su Peizhen didn’t pick up his call. He called Su Peizhen several times, but she didn’t pick up.
Su Chenghui could have looked for Xiang Caiping directly, but if that happened, perhaps something else might happen.
After thinking about it, Su Chenghui could only send a message telling Su Peizhen that he had come to Rongcheng. If possible, he wanted to see her.
Unfortunately, Su Peizhen still didn’t reply.
Su Chenghui knew that he might not be able to see Su Peizhen this time. With her personality, if she wasn’t willing to see him, she definitely wouldn’t pick up his call.
After settling his work, Su Chenghui was about to book a flight back to Lin City when he received a call from Su Qingsang.
She told him that he was invited to Tianjing Group’s anniversary celebration next week. He was in Rong City anyway, so it would be advantageous to him to meet some people from Rong City’s business circle.
As the company had just started to improve, Su Chenghui definitely wouldn’t let go of this opportunity.
What made him even happier was that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were actually willing to invite him. That made him very happy.
While he was rejoicing, he also thought of Su Peizhen. After the anniversary celebration, he would go and look for her.
Su Chenghui didn’t expect that he would see Su Peizhen at such an occasion.
..
Tianyu Group’s anniversary celebrations got bigger and bigger, as well as livelier and livelier, every year.
This year was no exception. Tianyu Group chose the location of the largest convention and exhibition center in Rong City. It was also the largest and well-facilitated Exhibition Center.
The entire center was extremely lively today. The first two floors of the exhibition center were divided into two parts.
One was downstairs. It contained Tianyu Group’s lower level employees who came to participate. They could hold all sorts of activities here, such as raffles and buffets.
The other group was upstairs. It contained executives and directors of Tianyu Group, as well as all the business partners who had cooperated with the Tianyu Group.
They included Huo Jinyao’s childhood friends, Tang Mohan, Wan Xianyang, Cheng Xianyun, and Li Junsheng, who happened to be free this time so he also came.
When they arrived, the other elders of the Huo family, Grandfather Huo and Huo Yangyuan, Huo Mingguang and his wife, Huo Mingliang, Nian Chunya and his wife, as well as Huo Mingmei and his wife, all came.
Despite being the hosts, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang hadn’t arrived yet.
Grandfather Huo was talking to Huo Yangyuan when he saw Huo Jinyao enter from afar.
Of course, Huo Jinyao didn’t come alone. He held hands with Su Qingsang, who was by his side.
Su Qingsang had finally decided on today’s dress after Li Qianxue’s repeated efforts that day. It was made from light gold fabric and had a close-fitting cut.
The biggest perk of this dress was that it was layered. The chiffon fabric underneath was layered layer by layer. There was a layer of gauze on the surface and another layer on the inside.
The fabric on the outside was light and airy, so one could vaguely see the embroidery patterns on the layer of yarn inside. It was faintly discernible, and appeared more charming than if one could see it clearly.
The halter neck design revealed the perfect lines of Su Qingsang’s shoulders. Matched with the pair of golden high heels on her feet, she looked like a sublime blue-blood.
In order to match her outfit, although Huo Jinyao’s attire was dark in color, it was paired with a golden tie today.
The dark patterns on the cuff-links complemented the gown on Su Qingsang. The two of them attracted the attention of most of the people present almost as soon as they entered the door.
All of the business partners, directors, and higher-ups of Tianyu Group already knew Huo Jinyao.
However, many people didn’t know Su Qingsang. Now that they saw her standing with Huo Jinyao, what else couldn’t they understand?
The Su Qingsang in front of them was the legendary wife of the President. The woman who was carefully protected by Huo Jinyao.
Outside the banquet hall, Li Qianxue wasn’t in a hurry to enter. Huo Jinyao had just asked her to follow him in, but she had rejected his offer.
She would never let Su Qingsang miss her moment of glory. This was her daughter’s moment to shine. She hoped that Su Qingsang would be the most dazzling one in the entire venue.
And she also believed in her own aesthetics. The effect brought by Su Qingsang’s own aura would definitely awe the entire venue.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long before they heard the exclamations and applause from inside.
Li Qianxue smiled. She picked up the bag in her hand and was about to enter, but she didn’t expect to see a person who shouldn’t be here.
“Su Chenghui?”
Why was he here?
When Li Qianxue saw Su Chenghui, her face turned ugly. When she saw the clothes he was wearing. Her face turned even uglier.
A matching tie and gown was a popular way for couples to show off PDA nowadays.
Today was the anniversary of Tianyu Group. For Su Qingsang, Li Qianxue chose a gold dress that was sophisticated and elegant.
She chose a dark red dress for herself. On the other party’s festive day, she wore a red dress. It was also very suitable.
Making her appear more elegant and exquisite, the dark red qipao with embroidered patterns suited her very well.
However, Su Chenghui was wearing a traditional Chinese tunic suit the same color as her qipao. He stood in front of her in an extremely graceful manner.
When he saw her, the smile on his face was aloof, but then a hint of surprise flashed across his face. When he saw her qipao, the smile on his face widened.
“Su Chenghui, you –”
“Qianxue, don’t we have a tacit understanding?”
As if he already knew what she wanted to say, Su Chenghui interrupted her.
For him, if Li Qianxue knew him on a scale of ten to ten, then his understanding of Li Qianxue was about three to four on a scale of ten.
On days like this, Li Qianxue would definitely wear a relatively festive dress. However, she had never liked bright red.
Dark red was a good choice. It was elegant and sophisticated, but it also exuded an air of festivity. Most celebrities liked to wear gowns, but Li Qianxue actually preferred qipao dresses, which was something he knew as well.
Therefore, wearing a Chinese tunic suit to match with her was the most suitable.
And now that he saw Li Qianxue, he knew that he had made the right bet.
“Huo Jinyao. D*mn you, Huo Jinyao.”
He didn’t even mention a word about it. He actually invited Su Chenghui?
If Li Qianxue had known earlier, she definitely wouldn’t have come. Of course, she also knew that Huo Jinyao couldn’t be completely blamed for this matter. It would be strange if Su Qingsang actually didn’t know.
But now, she didn’t want to blame her daughter. She only wanted to scold Huo Jinyao.
“Don’t blame Huo Jinyao. After all, I’m his father-in-law. Isn’t it his duty to invite me?”
After receiving Su Qingsang’s call, Su Chenghui knew that Li Qianxue would be attending this banquet as well.
Although Su Qingsang didn’t say it explicitly, she hinted at it quite obviously.
That was also the reason he tried so hard to guess what Li Qianxue would be wearing. Fortunately, he guessed correctly.
“It’s my duty. Of course it’s my duty.”
With a cold and mocking expression, Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui. “Speaking of which, I really have to admire you, Su Chenghui. You treated Qingsang like that, yet you still make her help you like this. You’re getting more and more good at winning people’s hearts.”
“Qianxue, don’t talk about Qingsang like that. I didn’t bribe her. I simply let her see my true feelings.”
True feelings? Su Chenghui also had true feelings? Yes, his true feelings for Xiang Caiping.
Li Qianxue didn’t want to talk to Su Chenghui, so she walked in.
No matter what Su Chenghui was wearing, it had nothing to do with her. She didn’t come here today for Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui walked to her side and reached out his hand.
“Qianxue, let’s go in together.”
“In your dreams.” Her suppressed voice filled with anger, Li Qianxue took a step back. “Let me tell you, we’re divorced. Please stay away from me.”
“I know we’re divorced, but this is the Huo family’s home ground, the Tianyu Group’s home ground. You don’t want others to know that the parents of the wife of Tianyu Group’s CEO had a falling out, do you?”
“So what?” Li Qianxue glared at him coldly. “Grandfather Huo knows about our divorce very well. He also knows Qingsang’s background very well. I really don’t think that I need to hide it in front of others.”
“As for you, Su Chenghui, I’m really starting to dislike your way of resorting to every means to attain your goal even more and more.”
After saying that, she completely ignored Su Chenghui and walked straight into the venue.
Su Chenghui watched her graceful figure with a bitter expression on his face. He didn’t expect that even after he mentioned Su Qingsang, Li Qianxue still didn’t have the slightest bit of mercy.
Thinking about it, he was really discouraged.
..
When Li Qianxue entered the banquet hall, although it didn’t cause as much of a stir as Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao did, she still left a deep impression on people.
She was glamorous, but not fierce. She had a powerful presence, dazzling looks, and great figure, and an extraordinary aura.
Some people didn’t know who she was, so they began to secretly ask around.
Liu Tongjia had been in low spirits for the past few days. After the incident with Huo Jinyao about Zhang Yichen, she hadn’t been in a good mood recently.
She kept thinking, was she wrong?
But no one could tell her the answer.
Several times, she wanted to ask Huo Mingguang if she had made a mistake back then. But she didn’t have the courage.
Not everyone had the courage to face the mistakes they made and the misunderstandings they had.
Liu Tongjia was the same.
She could only remind herself again and again that she wasn’t wrong. She wasn’t in the wrong at all.
It was Huo Jinyao who had caused the deaths of Jin Kai and Wushuang. Everything was Huo Jinyao’s fault.
It was as if this was the only way she could get some comfort. It was as if this was the only way to make her feel better.
Until she saw Huo Jinyao with her own eyes.
She had just seen Su Qingsang come in with Huo Jinyao. Putting aside her dislike for Su Qingsang, she had to admit it.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were indeed a perfect match in terms of appearance.
One was tall and handsome, while the other was delicate-featured and pretty. Ever since she married into the Huo family, Su Qingsang had also undergone some drastic changes.
Her every movement and gesture had become more elegant and refined. Just like how at the moment, she was wearing a golden gown that suited her perfectly.
When she entered with Huo Jinyao, there was an aloof smile in her eyes. The two of them held each other’s hands tightly. Needless to say, it was obvious that they were very close.
This scene was an eyesore in Liu Tongjia’s eyes.
How despicable of her. Only Huo Jinyao believed in her innocence.
Now that she saw the two of them showing off their affection, she felt a suffocating sensation in her heart.
She was feeling a little remorseful at first, but now, the remorse had faded a little. All that was left was her dissatisfaction with Su Qingsang.
She was clearly unscrupulous, yet Huo Jinyao was protecting her wholeheartedly. He ignorantly turned a blind eye.
Such a woman, such a woman actually married into the Huo family.
When she saw Li Qianxue, who was dressed in a dark red gown, slowly walking into the door, Liu Tongjia’s expression became even more unsightly.
It wasn’t a big deal for Huo Jinyao to invite Li Qianxue. However, Li Qianxue was Su Qingsang’s mother. It was already extremely disrespectful for him to not even greet her.
More importantly, Li Qianxue didn’t visit the Huo family first when she came to Rong City.
What was this? Did she look down on the Huo Family? If that was the case, then what was the meaning of her appearance now?
It wasn’t that Li Qianxue did not notice the curious and inquisitive gazes of the people around her.
However, she couldn’t care less about the others at the moment. She walked towards Old Master Huo gracefully. Then, she stood about a meter away from him.
Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang had just greeted Old Master Huo and the other elders. They were standing at the side while chatting with Huo Yangyuan and the other elders.
When she saw Li Qianxue enter, Su Qingsang smiled at her and gave her a reassuring look before standing to the side.
“Old Master Huo, congratulations.”
“Eh? Eldest niece, you’re here?”
Old Master Huo had heard Huo Jinyao mention that Li Qianxue had come to Rong City. “Why didn’t brother Li come with you?”
“My father is staying in Lin City to oversee some things,”Li Qianxue said half-jokingly and half-seriously, “Do you not want to see me, Old Master Huo?”
“How could that be? You don’t know how happy I am to have you here. Come, come, let me introduce you –”
Before Old Master Huo could finish his sentence, he saw another person enter. This time, it was Su Chenghui.
Like Li Qianxue did, when Su Chenghui entered, he attracted a lot of attention.
He was almost 50 years old, and he had the charm of maturity. He had the maturity and suauveness that had been accumulated over time, as well as an elegant appearance.
Most importantly, after the divorce, Su Chenghui’s every movement and gesture was much more calm and composed than before.
The fierceness and persistency that he used to have had disappeared, and he looked very different from before.
The dark-colored floral chinese tunic suit suit made him look even more elegant. People would believe it if someone said that he wasn’t even 40 years old.
He took one step at a time and steadily walked up to Old Master Huo.
“Hello. Are you Old Master Huo Yangping?”
“I am, and you are...” Just by looking at Su Chenghui’s appearance, Old Master Huo could already guess what was going on.
“I am Su Chenghui, Qingsang’s father.”
With a calm expression on his face, Su Chenghui stretched out his hand towards Old Master Huo, and he was slightly apologetic. “I’m sorry. When Qingsang and Jin Yao returned to Rong City, I happened to have some matters that I didn’t handle properly, so I didn’t come to visit the Huo family right away. I’m sorry.”
He openly admitted his mistake with a sincere and frank expression on his face.
Old Master Huo reached out his hand and shook his. “You’re too courteous, in-law. It was just a small matter. We’re not that kind of people.”
“That’s because Old Master Huo is magnanimous. You won’t fuss with us juniors.”
As Su Chenghui spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket. “It’s my first time meeting you, so I didn’t prepare much. I hastily prepared a gift. I hope you’ll like it.”
“You’re too courteous, you’re too courteous.”
Old Master Huo looked at Su Chenghui. In the end, he didn’t reject the gift. His gaze fell on Li Qianxue, then he looked at Su Chenghui.
He had a piercing gaze and a shrewd mind.
“Nephew, you came here with your niece?”
The way he addressed them as his niece and nephew meant that they were close. It invisibly increased the intimacy between the two sides.
“No.”
“Yes.”
Two different voices sounded at the same time. Old Master Huo looked at Su Chenghui and then at Li Qianxue.
He heard that they were divorced, but he saw that they were both wearing the same color dress and that they had appeared together, so he thought that..
“Grandfather, I have something to say to Qingsang. Please excuse me for a moment.”
It wasn’t that Li Qianxue did not want to give Old Master Huo face, but her hatred for Su Chenghui was overwhelming.
She glanced at Su Chenghui coldly and bowed to Old Master Huo respectfully.
“Old Master Huo, I will talk to you later.”
She turned around and walked towards Su Qingsang. Before she left, she didn’t even glance at Su Chenghui from the corner of her eye.
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue’s back and smiled bitterly. Li Qianxue was giving him no face. She wasn’t even willing to pretend in front of outsiders.
“Nephew?”
Old Master Huo’s words brought Su Chenghui back to his senses. He looked at Old Master Huo with extreme gentleness. “Old Master, I’m sorry.”
Old Master Huo waved his hand. “It’s not rude. Every family has their own difficulties. I understand. But since you’re here today, it’s just in time because I have something I need to ask you for.”
Ask him? Su Chenghui was a little confused. What did he want?
“Speaking of which, nephew Huo is a lucky man. Every daughter he has is very capable.”
Su Chenghui stood there for a moment but didn’t quite understand Old Master Huo’s meaning.
“Old Master Huo?”
“It’s a little too early to talk about this matter now. But since our children have come to this stage, it’s naturally only a matter of time. Don’t you think so?”
“Come to this stage?”
What stage did this stage mean?
Su Chenghui didn’t quite understand and was about to ask about it. On the other end, there was another commotion at the entrance of the venue.
Someone entered.
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had just greeted a few of the Huo family’s elders together. The two of them didn’t even have time to catch their breathes.
Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue entered. She saw that Li Qianxue wasn’t giving Su Chenghui any face, so she left him behind and walked towards her.
At this time, the two presidents of the two collaborating corporations came over to greet Huo Jinyao.
After greeting him, Huo Jinyao introduced Su Qingsang to them.
Su Qingsang greeted them with a proper smile on her face. It was at this moment that Li Qianxue walked over.
“Let me introduce you guys. This is the president of Lin City’s Li Corporation, Ms. Li Qianxue. She’s also my mother-in-law.”
Huo Jinyao generously introduced Li Qianxue to some of his business partners. He also briefly told them about her identity and the type of industry the company was in.
Li Qianxue initially wanted to blame him for calling Su Chenghui over yet not informing her about it. However, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.
Just like Su Qingsang, at such a time, she could only greet these people with a smile on her face.
After a round of greetings, she received a few business cards. Some of them were indeed possible for the Li Corporation to form a cooperative business relationship with in the future.
Since she had received a favor from Huo Jinyao, it would be inappropriate for her to settle Su Chenghui’s account with him.
However, when no one was around, she gave Su Qingsang a glare.
The matter between her and Su Chenghui would naturally be handled by their elders. If Su Qingsang wanted to help Su Chenghui, she couldn’t object. However, she would indeed be very disappointed.
Su Qingsang seemed to know what she was thinking and went forward to hug her. She had an obsequious smile on her face.
“Mom, I was wrong.”
She apologized softly. Li Qianxue looked at her with a bit of reproach. In the end, she didn’t have the heart to blame her.
She also noticed the commotion at the entrance of the venue. She turned her head along with Su Qingsang. Both mother and daughter saw the figure that came in at the same time.
Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang frowned at the same time.
That woman who entered leisurely was none other than Su Peizhen.
They weren’t the only ones who saw it. Su Chenghui also saw it.
This was actually the first time he saw Su Peizhen after a few months.
