Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao greeted some more people, many of whom she had met at Su Family parties before. Then, she had been the Su Family’s illegitimate daughter; now, she was the wife of Tianyu Group’s CEO.
The attitudes of the people had naturally changed, which was actually very ironic. Still, Su Qingsang did not mind it.
This was the way of this community: people who were valued by their family were recognized in the community; people who weren’t would not be taken seriously by anyone.
In the middle of the banquet, Su Qingsang saw Lee Junsheng arrive. It was a great honor for Tianyu Group to have the mayor at their banquet. Su Qingsang, who found out about the relationship between Huo Jinyao and Lee Junsheng when she had been in Rong City, was not surprised.
Huo Jinyao and Lee Junsheng were just friends. Now, however, there were so many guests that he had to give him a warm welcome.
“Go ahead. I’m going to the bathroom,” Su Qingsang said.
“Okay.” Huo Jinyao patted her on the back of her hand. “Come back soon. I want to introduce Junsheng to you.” He said this as if he really meant it. Su Qingsang could not help but give him a look.
Coming out of the bathroom, Su Qingsang was about to cross the corridor back to the banquet hall when a tall figure showed up in front of her.
She stopped and drew back. She was planning on passing him after she nodded slightly to the figure.
“Qingsang,” Qiu Yanbo said, looking at Su Qingsang, with an amazed, admiring expression. “You look so beautiful today.”
Su Qingsang was so outstandingly gorgeous today that he could not resist telling her.
“Thank you.” Su Qingsang did not plan to speak much with Qiu Yanbo. Others didn’t know his mind, but she did.
“I haven’t gotten the chance to see you since I left Qingyuan county. It’s been a long time.”
“What’s the matter?” Su Qingsang interrupted him. Her rather impolite attitude made Qiu Yanbo smile bitterly.
“Qingsang, can’t I simply want to see you? Why does anything have to be wrong?”
“No.” Su Qingsang’s refusal was straightforward and simple. “I am married and you are my brother-in-law.”
“Your sister and I have broken off our engagement.”
“So what? Has that anything to do with me?”
“Of course. I broke off the engagement because of you.”
“Stop talking.”
Su Qingsang already knew this, but she still couldn’t bear to listen to Qiu Yanbo speak with such an attitude.
“Qiu Yanbo, it was your business to break off the engagement with my sister. It has nothing to do with me. Don’t say you did it for me.”
“But I truly did it for you.” Qiu Yanbo looked at her lovingly as he spoke. “If I had seen the good in you earlier, how could I have gotten engaged to Su Peizhen?”
“Qiu Yanbo.” Su Qingsang was about to burst into laughter. “Don’t you feel ashamed for saying that?”
How long had he and Su Peizhen been engaged? A few years? They had actually been childhood sweethearts.
Then, suddenly, he said they were not the right people for each other? How could he put the blame on Su Qingsang? She could not afford him such an excuse.
“Qingsang.” Qiu Yanbo sighed and stepped forward. “I don’t care whether you believe it or not, or what you think of me. I have to let you know my heart.”
“I see. May I go now?”
Su Qingsang tried to bypass him again, but Qiu Yanbo reached out and took her hand.
“Qingsang, I know you married Huo Jinyao because you had other no choices. Why don’t you give me a chance?”
