If Su Qingsang had not noticed anything so far, then she really would have been stupid.
She was once again sure that women had a great six sense. She felt that Xu Ruoli had something to do with Huo Jinyao.
Xu Ruoli sat beside her brother, Xu Changlong. It seemed that she didn’t hear what Li Wanyu and Tang Manlu had said.
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao again. He seemed not to notice these women.
He stayed calm and fed her two pieces of fruit. When he saw her looking at him, he wiped his hands with a tissue.
“Are you tired? If you are exhausted, we can leave now to get home earlier.”
Is it true? We can leave now?
Su Qingsang was not tired. She just didn’t like the attitudes of Li Wanyu and Tang Manlu.
She was more curious, however, about what was going on between Xu Ruoli and Huo Jinyao. Why did everybody else look at them like they had a history?
“Brother Jinyao, what do you mean?” Li Wanyu bit her lips as if she felt wronged. “We just arrived and you are about to leave?”
“What’s going on, Brother Jinyao? Now that you are married, you don’t want to look at us?” Tang Manlu said. She was clearly unhappy about Huo Jinyao’s move.
“Wanyu,” Li Junsheng said, cautioning his sister.
“Manlu,” Tang Mohan said, cautioning his own.
Li Junsheng and Tang Mohan didn’t like their younger sisters acting like this.
They both felt grieved and looked towards Xu Ruoli.
Xu Ruoli felt their gazes and smiled. “Jinyao just came home today. He must be exhausted. Now that he’s back, we still have a chance to hang out in the future. Don’t bother him.”
“Sister Ruoli,” Li Wanyu said.
Li Wanyu looked at Xu Ruoli, thinking that Xu Ruoli she didn’t mean what she said.
Xu Changlong was also looking at his sister. They were actually twins. Xu Ruoli was born only about a dozen minutes earlier than him.
He also knew about the engagement between the Xu Family and the Huo Family. That’s why he hadn’t spoken since they had stepped inside the room.
He didn’t accept the truth yet. The woman from nowhere had suddenly become Huo Jinyao’s wife and stolen his sister’s position.
“It’s alright. We hang out all the time. It doesn’t mean that we stop hanging out when Jinyao’s gone,” Xu Ruoli said. Others kept silent and looked at Huo Jinyao.
It was a bit weird. Su Qingsang pulled Huo Jinyao’s hand. “I am not that tired. We can leave later.”
He had stayed in Lin City for a long time and didn’t come back. If they just walked away, it would not be appropriate.
She was not a social person, but that didn’t mean that she didn’t know the rules.
“Then we stay longer,” Huo Jinyao said.
Huo Jinyao complied with every wish of Su Qingsang.
Li Wanyu was jealous and so was Tang Manlu. They both looked at Xu Ruoli.
Xu Ruoli, however, seemed fine. She picked up a glass and poured herself a glass of wine.
Originally, Huo Jinyao had sat with Su Qingsang. Li Junsheng had sat beside Huo Jinyao.
Now, Li Wanyu and Tang Manlu sat on each side of Li Junsheng. That meant that Tang Manyu was sitting next to Huo Jinyao.
Tang Manlu kept staring at Xu Ruoli. After she poured the wine, Xu Ruoli came over to Huo Jinyao.
Tang Manlu stood up and gave her seat to Xu Ruoli. “Sister Ruoli, please sit here.”
Xu Ruoli sat beside Huo Jinyao and toasted to him.
“Jinyao, you didn’t even give us a notice about you getting married. I haven’t congratulated you yet. So here are my best wishes.”
Huo Jinyao took a look at her and raised the glass.
“It’s nice of you. Thanks.” He seemed a bit cold but Xu Ruoli didn’t mind.
“Little Sister-in-law, why don’t you have a drink?” Xu Ruoli asked.
