Chapter 598: You’re Fat From Failing To Deliver Your Promise

“What do I know? Let me tell you, I know a lot more.” Huo Yifan put down his hand that was lifted up to hit Su Peizhen. “I also know that he’s doing it for publicity. He’s constantly donating resources to the disaster area, and he’s still staying there as a volunteer. What’s wrong? “So what?”

Huo Jinyao knew how to play the good guy. What disaster relief? It was all because Su Qingsang was there.

“So what?” Su Peizhen almost laughed at him. “Are you trying to tell me that deliberately you’re letting go of such a good opportunity when you know that Huo Jinyao isn’t in Rong City?”

“What opportunity?” Huo Yifan looked at Su Peizhen with his eyes wide open. “Tell me, what other opportunity do I have?”

He had already been kicked out by Old Master Huo. What opportunity did he have?

“Huo Jinyao is in C City. There was an earthquake in C City.”

Su Peizhen stared at Huo Yifan’s face. She didn’t believe that he didn’t think of it. “It’s true that you were kicked out of the Tianyu Group, but it hasn’t been that long. Who knows?”

“Who knows?” Huo Yifan sneered. “People who should know all know. What do you think?”

Su Peizhen rolled her eyes. She took two steps forward and grabbed Huo Yifan by the collar of his shirt.

“No wonder you can’t beat Huo Jinyao. With your cowardice, you’d be dreaming if you wanted to beat Huo Jinyao.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I’m cowardly. Huo Jinyao isn’t cowardly. If Huo Jinyao isn’t cowardly, why are you here? Go find him. But the problem is –”

Huo Yifan glanced at Su Peizhen with contempt and sneered, “He doesn’t like you.”

Su Peizhen was annoyed and raised her hand to slap Huo Yifan again.

This time, her slap missed him. Huo Yifan grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.

“Don’t you simply want me to take over the Tianyu Group? You want to be the wife of the Tianyu Group’s president, so you can get the best of Su Qingsang, right?”

“So what if I do?” Su Peizhen looked him in the eye. “Can you give it to me?”

“Of course. But the premise is that Huo Jinyao dies first. Would you dare to do it?”

Su Peizhen laughed. She stared at Huo Yifan and said in a slightly cold voice, “Huo Yifan, I won’t harm myself just to harm my enemy. Let me tell you. I’m a person who can do anything except anything illegal.”

This had happened before in Lin City.

“It’s true that I don’t like Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao, but I’m not willing to do anything just to get rid of them.” Huo Yifan. You have to understand that only when you have freedom will you have the chance to get Tianyu Group. If you don’t have freedom… Even if you get Tianyu Group, you can only stay in jail.”

“Then what else is there to say?” Huo Yifan let go of her hand and pushed her away. “If Huo Jinyao doesn’t die, I’ll never have a chance. What else can I say?”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Su Peizhen took a step forward and looked at Huo Yifan. “The last time I went to the Huo family to look for grandfather, grandfather didn’t pay much attention to me. But I heard something.”

“What?”

“C City is a good place.” Her eyes filled with scheming calculation, Su Peizhen looked at Huo Yifan. “I’m willing to do this personally. However, during this period of time, go to grandfather and do what you have to do, whether it’s crying or begging. First, ask grandfather to let you return to Tianyu Group. If that doesn’t work, go and beg your uncle. Huo Jinyao doesn’t have a good relationship with his parents. However, your uncle should still have a good impression of you. Go and beg your uncle. No matter what method you use, get them to bring you back to Tianyu Group. Leave the rest to me.”

“Leave it to you?” Su Peizhen’s words made Huo Yifan raise his eyebrows. “What exactly do you plan to do? If you didn’t want to get rid of Huo Jinyao, then how could you achieve that?”

“If you don’t believe in my abilities, you don’t have to do as I say.”

Su Peizhen brushed her hair behind her head. “In short, your opportunity is right in front of you. If you can’t join Tianyu Group, then all my previous efforts will be in vain.”

“Alright, I’ll wait and see.” Huo Yifan went forward and pinched her chin. “If you can really make Huo Jinyao lose the desire to deal with the company’s matters, then I have a way to get Tianyu Group. When that time comes, I’ll definitely marry you into the Huo family and make you the wife of the president of Tianyu Group.”

“Alright, I’ll wait.” As Su Peizhen spoke, she waved Huo Yifan’s hand away and took out a document from the bag she brought with her.

“Here.”

“What’s this?”

“It’s a gift for Old Master Huo to help you ask for forgiveness.” Su Peizhen narrowed her eyes. “You didn’t think that the Old Master would let you return without you doing anything, did you?”

Huo Yifan took out the document and looked at it. His expression immediately changed.

“How did you get it?”

“You don’t have to care how I got it. No matter what, with this gift, you’ll naturally be able to return to Tianyu Group. When you go back, keep a low profile. But this project must be done beautifully and well. Otherwise, you still won’t have a place in Tianyu Group.”

Huo Yifan sized up Su Peizhen from head to toe. He couldn’t help but approach her and kiss her cheek lightly.

“Woman, I really feel that my brother was blind for chosing your sister over you.”

“Of course he’s blind.” Su Peizhen sneered. Her abilities and methods were far superior to those of Su Qingsang’s.

Only a man with no taste like Huo Jinyao would treat Su Qingsang like a treasure.

“He’s blind, but I’m not blind.”

As Huo Yifan spoke, he picked up Su Peizhen and pulled her clothes.

“What are you doing? You still have the mood for that at a time like this?”

“The more I feel in the mood for that at a time like this. Don’t worry, with this gift here, the Old Master will definitely agree to let me return to Tianyu Group.”

…

Staring at the lights in front of them, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao held hands as they stood on a slope.

It had been more than twenty days since the earthquake. The two of them had also been helping out for a week.

The situation in the disaster area had basically stabilized, and the injured had all been taken care of. As for the lives that had already been lost, they couldn’t control.

The higher-ups were very satisfied with the performance of their medical team. Now that the situation was stable, the local hospitals that were adjacent to C City had sent people over to help.

Now, their mission was considered to have been completed and arrangements had been made for them to leave.

The flight was scheduled for tomorrow morning. The airport in C City was damaged in the earthquake. It couldn’t be used for the time being.

They had to take a helicopter to N City first. Then, they would transfer from N City to Rong City.

When the two of them boarded the helicopter the next day, they didn’t expect that the person who came to pick them up would be Zhang Yichen.

“Uncle?”

“Uncle.”

Huo Jinyao looked at Zhang Yichen. A week had passed. Zhang Yichen seemed to have recovered from his injuries. His complexion had recovered to a healthy tan color. He looked much more energetic.

He was wearing a military green shirt. His sleeves were rolled up and his strong arms were exposed.

“Uncle, have you recovered from your injury?” Huo Jinyao sized up Zhang Yichen carefully. He seemed to be in healthy spirits. He seemed to have really recovered.

“Yes.” Zhang Yichen nodded, but his gaze didn’t fall on Su Qingsang. “I just happen to be going to N City as well.”

“You’ve been here for a long time?”

“I’ve been here for two days.” There were many things to do in the disaster area. As a soldier, he had his own responsibilities that he couldn’t escape.

“Isn’t your injury still unhealed yet? Why didn’t you rest for a while more?” Huo Jinyao’s voice was filled with concern. “Did great-aunt agree to you recklessly doing this?”

“I’ve already recovered.”

With a slightly cold voice, Zhang Yichen gestured with his eyes for them to sit properly.

Other than Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang, there were also colleagues from Su Qingsang’s hospital who had come over this time. They knew that Huo Jinyao was very capable, but they didn’t expect that soldiers would also know him.

Everyone boarded the helicopter. Very soon, the helicopter flew up.

Su Qingsang sat next to Huo Jinyao. She looked out of the plane.

Before they came, it was a beautiful and prosperous city. When she looked over now, she could only see ruins.

She wasn’t in a good mood. Huo Jinyao shook her hand, and she turned to look at him. She shook her head slightly to show that she was fine.

In less than a month, she had experienced life and death, and she had seen through life and death.

Although she couldn’t completely accept it, she was much calmer now than when she had just faced it.

Zhang Yichen kept his eyes on the front, as if he did not see Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang holding hands.

When they reached City N, the plane landed at the airport. Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were the last to get off the plane.

Huo Jinyao went down first and reached out his hand to Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang jumped off the plane with her hand in his.

When she turned to face Zhang Yichen, Su Qingsang nodded very politely. “Thank you, Uncle. Goodbye, Uncle.”

Zhang Yichen responded coldly. Su Qingsang turned around and left. Before she left, her gaze swept across Zhang Yichen’s wrist.

There was a scar that looked very new. That was something she hadn’t seen before.

Huo Jinyao placed his hand on her shoulder in a timely manner. He also thanked Zhang Yichen. “Thank you, Uncle. If you’re free, come to Rong City this week. I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. I reckon that we’ll be very busy lately and I won’t have the time to go to Rong City.”

They all knew that Zhang Yichen’s unit was in C City. Before this matter was completely resolved, he was afraid that he wouldn’t have the time to return to Rong City.

Huo Jinyao was just being polite. In fact, he really didn’t want to see Zhang Yichen right now. Even if he was his own Uncle.

The two of them didn’t return to Rong City with Sun Huiya and the others. Instead, they boarded the plane to Lin City.

Li Qianxue knew that Su Qingsang had experienced an earthquake. She was so worried that she almost followed them there.

If Huo Jinyao hadn’t contacted her in time and told her that Su Qingsang’s condition was stable, Li Qianxue would have gone to the disaster area without caring about anything else.

When she heard that Su Qingsang didn’t return to Rong City but stayed in C City, she was very worried.

However, Su Qingsang acted as if nothing had happened. She called her every day to tell her that she was safe. She didn’t mention anything about the situation in the disaster area.

Just because she didn’t say anything didn’t mean that Li Qianxue wouldn’t know. How many aftershocks had happened, and what changes would there be were reported on television, on the news, and on the internet every day.

Under such circumstances, Su Qingsang still had to stay there. How could Li Qianxue not be worried?

She followed the news every day, and after the communication was restored, she asked Su Qingsang to contact her every day. But even so, Li Qianxue was still extremely worried.

Now that she saw Su Qingsang standing in front of her unharmed, Li Qianxue hugged her and gave her back a couple of gentle smacks in mock anger.

“You really have guts, and you don’t even listen to me anymore. I told you to go home, but you didn’t. Do you know that you scared me to death?”

When she found out that Su Qingsang had experienced an earthquake, she wanted nothing more than to have her come back right away. However, Su Qingsang didn’t come back and even dragged Huo Jinyao along to recklessly mess around.

“Mom, I’m fine now, right?”

Su Qingsang’s eyes were slightly red. She was truly grateful that she had narrowly escaped death.

“You’re not one to talk. You’ve already lost so much weight.”

Li Qianxue glared at Huo Jinyao as she spoke. She wanted to criticize him for not taking good care of Su Qingsang.

However, she realized that his complexion was even worst than Su Qingsang’s, and he seemed to have lost even more weight than Su Qingsang.

Knowing that he had accompanied Su Qingsang the entire way, she couldn’t help but grumble, “You too. You’re already a grown up, yet you still let her recklessly mess around. Even if she wanted to stay, couldn’t you have brought her home?”

“It’s my fault. I didn’t try to persuade her.”

Huo Jinyao admitted his mistake with a very good attitude. Li Qianxue wanted to have an outburst, but she couldn’t.

Her son-in-law had already followed her daughter to the disaster area as a volunteer. What else could she be angry about?

She couldn’t help but smack Su Qingsang on the shoulder again.

“This time, I don’t care what you say. You have to stay for a few more days before you leave. Do you know that your grandfather was also extremely worried about you. When he found out that you were in the disaster area, he even went to Qingyuan Temple today and said that he wanted to pray for you. He’s so old, so I asked Yuxin to go with him.”

No wonder she didn’t see Old Master Li. Upon hearing that he was praying for her, Su Qingsang was very touched, even though she didn’t believe in such superstitions.

“Okay, I will stay here for a few more days.”

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao stayed at the Li residence. In the afternoon, Old Master Li and Su Yuxin came back.

Both of them were very happy to see Su Qingsang. They seemed to have endless questions to ask Su Qingsang.

Su Yuxin’s score was out. He was the top scorer in science in Lin City. He had also thought about studying at a university in the capital city.

Since he had made up his mind, Su Qingsang was quite happy for him. She suddenly thought of Bai Zhihan. No matter what, she and Su Yuxin were in a relationship. She wondered what her grades were like and which school she would go to.

She wanted to ask but now wasn’t the right time, so she could only talk about it later.

At night in Lin City, it suddenly started to rain, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

Su Qingsang had been very tired recently, but she couldn’t fall asleep because of the sound of thunder.

She tossed and turned on the bed. Huo Jinyao was about to fall asleep, but he couldn’t sleep anymore because of her actions.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing, I just can’t sleep.”

“Do you think the thunder is too loud?”

“Sort of.” The other reason was that she was thinking about Su Yuxin.

He decided to go to university in the capital city, which was far away from home. Although he could come back during winter and summer breaks, it was still more convenient to stay in Lin City.

Her grandfather was old, and Li Qianxue was busy with company matters every day.

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear it, but she also knew that this was something that couldn’t be helped.

There was also Bai Zhihan. She had just asked Su Yuxin and said that Bai Zhihan didn’t perform well on her college entrance exam. Her results weren’t particularly ideal.

She probably couldn’t go to university with Su Yuxin in the capital city.

She could tell that Su Yuxin had genuine feelings for Bai Zhihan. But if they were separated during the four years of university, there would be too many unpredictable variables.

Bai Zhihan felt very insecure, but Su Yuxin was determined.

He had always known what he wanted, and he probably wouldn’t compromise for Bai Zhihan.

She felt a painful sensation on her lips. Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look at Huo Jinyao. “What are you doing?”

“Aren’t you tired?” Huo Jinyao gently bit her lips again. “Aren’t you ever tired? Aren’t you tired from thinking about all sorts of things every day?”

“Why not think about all sorts of things? They’re my family, of course I –”

He sealed her mouth with a kiss, and she was unable to say anything else. Su Qingsang was a little annoyed. She was seriously worried, but he didn’t care at all.

She reached out to hit him, but Huo Jinyao bit her lips and spoke very softly.

“You’re not tired anyway, so why don’t we do something else?”

As Huo Jinyao spoke, his big hand started to reach into her clothes.

Su Qingsang was so angry that she laughed. “Who said I wasn’t tired? But the thunder is so loud, so how can I sleep?”

“Well, then you’re actually not tired enough. When you’re tired, naturally you’ll fall asleep.”

Huo Jinyao’s voice was muffled. Su Qingsang couldn’t push him away. She could only let him do whatever he wanted.

When the two of them saw each other, Huo Jinyao suddenly stopped moving.

His hand instinctively reached towards the bedside cabinet, but he remembered that they were at the Li family’s house, not in Rong City.

He gritted his teeth and rolled over to get off Su Qingsang’s body.

Su Qingsang hugged him at that moment. She met his eyes, and her gaze was clear.

“Didn’t we agree to have a child?”

Huo Jinyao’s expression was a little conflicted. He wasn’t ready yet.

But how could Su Qingsang give him the time to prepare? She rolled over and took the dominant position over him.

Huo Jinyao had never had much self-control in front of her. He looked at her and spoke through gritted teeth.

“You’ve grown bolder.”

“Not as bold as you.” Su Qingsang went to bite his ear. “You’re fat from failing to deliver your promise.”

She was accusing him of not keeping his word. Huo Jinyao looked at her slightly hazy eyes, then gritted his teeth and switched from the submissive position to taking the initiative.

Forget it. If she wanted to have a child, it was up to fate.

Before coming together, Huo Jinyao stopped what he was doing. He gazed into her mesmerizing eyes and his voice was firm.

“Just this once. If you get pregnant, then give birth. If you don’t, then go back and do what you’re supposed to do, okay?”

If Su Qingsang wasn’t in a bad state right now, she would have beaten him up. What did he mean?

She didn’t agree, but Huo Jinyao had already made up his mind. He lowered his waist and gave himself to her.

Su Qingsang gritted her teeth. She felt a little shy, but in the end, she raised her waist.

She was a gynecologist, so she naturally knew what kind of circumstances would make it easier for her to have children.

Huo Jinyao knew what she was thinking, and he couldn’t help but laugh. He really didn’t know that Su Qingsang was so persistent about having children.

“Honey, since you’re acting like this, should I work harder today?”

Su Qingsang couldn’t help but want to bite him again, but she didn’t bite him and turned to scratch his back.

“Don’t worry, honey. I will definitely work hard.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear it anymore. She raised her head and bit his shoulder.

This guy was taking advantage of her yet still pretending to be aggrieved. How annoying.

… ..

“Qingsang, you’re really bad.”

Su Qingsang stayed in the Li family for two days with Old Master Li and Li Qianxue. Today, she finally had time to ask Li Qianxue to let her go out.

As soon as she went out, she went to look for Shi Mengwan.

Shi Mengwan had come back from the competition in France, but she was very busy. This time, she didn’t win the championship, but she got a most special design award.

This award was very meaningful, and it also made Shi Mengwan famous overseas as a rookie designer. More and more people came looking for her.

When Su Qingsang saw Shi Mengwan again, she realized that she didn’t look well either.

“Your eyes have dark circles under them. Were you worried about me? Or were you busy with work?”

“You heartless rascal.” Shi Mengwan went to pinch her arm. “Of course I was worried about you.”

She was really worried about Su Qingsang. If she didn’t find out later that Huo Jinyao had accompanied her to the disaster area, she would have gone too.

Su Qingsang was touched. She hugged her waist tightly and said, “Alright, alright, I’m fine now.”

She stepped back a little and looked at Shi Mengwan’s expression. “You, don’t think that I don’t know. You definitely stayed up all night drawing again. I know that you want to earn money, but no matter how much you want to earn money, you have to take care of your health.”

Shi Mengwan didn’t say anything. It was true that she wanted to earn money. It was also true that she wanted to prove.

Zhan Haoze and Chen Feifei were engaged after all. She was powerless to stop them, and she couldn’t do anything either.

Zhan Haoze had come to look for her twice during this period of time, but she avoided him. When he came to the studio, she asked people to say that she wasn’t there.

When he came to her house, she hid and didn’t open the door for him.

Sometimes, Shi Mengwan didn’t understand. He was already engaged, so why did he come to look for her?

Was he trying to turn her into a mistress?

Or was Zhan Haoze that confident? Confident in her feelings for him and that she would never be out of his control, so he had nothing to fear?

No matter what, Shi Mengwan felt tired. Even though she knew that Zhan Haoze was the big brother that she had been missing for more than ten years.

But this kind of relationship, this kind of relationship where she was a third party, was too tiring for her.

“Mengwan, what’s wrong? Are you really tired?”

“Yes, I’m very tired.” Shi Mengwan pursed her lips. “It’s not a big award, but the Internet is so developed now. Many people are bragging about that award. I don’t even have enough time to take orders online these days.”

Su Qingsang looked at her with pity. “Poor you. Why don’t you take a break for a while? Or stop taking orders temporarily, or hire some more people. Your studio is already large-scale now anyway, so you can also recruit a lot of people.”

“I want to, but there aren’t many good designers who have styles similar to mine and agree with my aesthetics.”

Su Qingsang knew Shi Mengwan very well. She didn’t continue to talk about this matter.

Shi Mengwan didn’t think about Zhan Haoze anymore. She felt heartache when she thought about it that person, but she felt empty and anguished when she didn’t think about him.

She only wanted to suppress the emotions in the bottom of her heart and get rid of those thoughts. Instead, she asked about Su Qingsang’s incident in the disaster area.

The two sisters went shopping, chatted, gathered, and drank tea together, just like when Su Qingsang was still in Lin City.

At the same time, a plane slowly landed in Lin City.

Su Peizhen wore a pair of Dior sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and she was wearing Chanel’s latest summer design.

She slowly walked out of the airport with a subtle smile on her lips.

She, Su Peizhen, has returned to Lin City.
