“You tell me,” Su Chenghui was a little unhappy. “It’s not a big deal, actually, but we are now in cooperation. What you did was unkind, wasn’t it?”
The Su Family was respected in Lin City. However, Huo Jinyao brought them trouble. He was able to do that because he and the new mayor were childhood friends.
Thankfully, he only made a small movement, and it was discovered in time. Otherwise, some serious consequences might have been caused.
“Unkind? I don’t think I’m the unkind one. I think that title fits you.”
“What do you mean?” Su Chenghui didn’t understand. Huo Jinyao didn’t waste time taking, but directly showed him what he had prepared.
Su Chenghui picked up those files and gave them a glance. Soon, he changed his expression and said, “This is impossible. Peizhen would never do something like this.”
Seeing the confident look in Su Chenghui’s face, Huo Jinyao leaned slightly forward and said to him, “Father, is Qingsang really your daughter?”
Su Chenghui looked at him and seemed to be a little angry to hear that question. “What are you talking about? Of course, she’s my daughter.”
“Is she?” Huo Jinyao nodded, looked at his angry face and said, “Sometimes I wonder if that’s true, because I feel that you only love your other daughter.”
“So? Are you now getting revenge for Qingsang? Do you feel it’s acceptable to pull a prank on the case that we’re working together on?”
“Yes,” Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows, then leaned against the back of his chair and said, “I have money. No matter how much money I make, it’ll all end up as a number eventually. But a wife, I only have one of them.”
Su Chenghui took a deep breath. He refused to believe that this son-in-law of his would treat his business with such an attitude. “Huo Jinyao,” he said, “Aren’t you afraid that you might not be able to explain it to the chairmen in your company?”
“If I can’t even protect my own wife, how am I going to make more money for those chairmen? I think they’ll understand.”
Su Chenghui stayed silent for a short while, then nodded heavily and said, “What do you want?”
“I usually don’t hit women. As we are relatives, I can spare your company, but I don’t plan to let Su Peizhen get away with it so easily.”
Su Peizhen shouldn’t have hurt his wife.
“Peizhen is Qingsang’s elder sister.”
“Yeah? Did she ever treat Qingsang like a sister?” Huo Jinyao was displeased by Su Chenghui’s attitude. “Mr. Su, I have to remind you that the same as Su Peizhen, Su Qingsang is also your daughter.”
Because of the cooperation between the two companies, the two families have become closer than before recently.
Su Chenghui was an elder, so of course Huo Jinyao showed him respect. It was the first time he saw Huo Jinyao being so rude.
“What do you want then? You’re not going to hit Peizhen back, are you?”
“How could I? As I’ve said, I don’t beat women.”
Hitting Su Peizhen back? That would be too easy for her.
“I want her to come to my place and apologize to my wife.”
“That’s not going to happen.” Su Chenghui knew his daughter well enough. Apologizing to Su Qingsang would be as hard as death for her.
“In this case, there’s nothing left for us to say,” Huo Jinyao spread his hands regretfully, then said, “I think I’m going to have to go on with my little punishment of the Li Family.”
“Huo Jinyao,” Su Chenghui was so angry that he even stood up from his seat. “You cannot be so self-willed.”
“I am sorry. That’s me, such a self-willed person,” Huo Jinyao replied.
Knowing about your enemy’s weakness could lead straight to wining. Huo Jinyao clearly knew what a person like Su Peizhen cared about the most.
How could he make her suffer without making her feel humiliated first?
“I can’t make her apologize. What else can I do for you to make you change your mind?” Su Chenghui was really angry with Huo Jinyao.
