“How could I not know your brother? I even went back to have a look at him. The office of the bastard of your family was right there. If I am not mistaken, your brother was coming out of that office when I saw him.”
Su Peizhen was lost in thought, and Luo Meishan added, “I somehow think this might be a trick of that bastard, wasn’t it?”
“How?” It was not really that Su Peizhen looked down on Su Qingsang. What tricks could she possibly play with that quiet nature of hers?
“Isn’t it obvious? Think about it. Your mother is the only daughter of the Li family, so the properties of both Su and Li families will be yours and your brother’s, and that bastard will get nothing. But what if she was not resigned to it and wants more? She cannot mess with you, of course, but your brother is too young to understand. So it’s not impossible that she was trying to get him on her…”
There was no need to finish the words. No one was a fool.
Su Peizhen pursed her lips and said, “How dare she?” Su Chenghui had given her a dowry when she had married, which should not have been hers at all. Not to mention that the Su Family had bought her a house and a car.
“Why not?” Luo Meishan sneered. “There are some people who are always greedy and dissatisfied. Compared with the Li family’s property, what she owned now is nothing.”
Su Peizhen stood up suddenly, and Luo Meishan immediately took her hand and asked, “What are you gonna do?”
“I’m going to find her.”
“Don’t.” Luo Meishan took her hand and made her sit down. “If she doesn’t admit it, you can’t do anything with her now,” she said.
Su Peizhen sat down again, pondering over Luo Meishan’s words. “You are right. But she will definitely give herself away if she really has such plans.”
“So what do you want to do?”
“The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. I’ll ask my dad to call her back for the celebration. If she doesn’t have that plan, she will keep a distance from Yuxin, just like before. If she has an ulterior motive, however, then she will certainly approach Yuxin.”
“Brilliant.” Luo Meishan gave her a look of appreciation. “Then you can catch her in the act.”
“No.” Su Peizhen shook her head, sharpness flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Su Qingsang, we are good if you do not trouble me, but if you mess with me, I’ll let you know what it means to draw water out of a sieve.
…
When Huo Jinyao came out of the bathroom, he found Su Qingsang in a daze with her mobile phone in her hand.
“What’s the matter?”
Su Qingsang shook her head because she didn’t know what to say.
“Sweetheart,” Huo Jinyao put his arm around her waist, “has your period ended yet? How many days has it been?”
“Stop it now.” Su Qingsang had no time to talk to him now. She held her phone, her face looking a bit grim.
“You all right? Sweetheart?” Huo Jinyao sat up and looked at her nervously.
“It was my father; he called me home for the festival.”
“Festival? What festival?”
“Mid-Autumn festival is next week.” Su Qingsang’s voice was light. “My father suddenly called me back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.”
“Go then,” Huo Jinyao said carelessly.
Su Qingsang gave him a look. “Since I went to boarding high school, my father had never asked me to go back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. He suddenly calls me back just like that. What do you think…”
“So what?” Huo Jinyao shrugged his shoulders with a normal expression. “Because you got married this year and are not alone anymore. The new son-in-law is supposed to visit his parents-in-law sooner or later.” However, he had already visited them and even left on bad terms in the end.
