To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 508 - What Does the Woman Mean?

Chapter 508: What Does the Woman Mean?

Su Qingsang turned to look at her. A thin smile pa.s.sed across the woman’s lips.

Before Su Qingsang could open her mouth, the lady waved the doc.u.ments in her hands and walked into Huo Jinyao’s office.

Right before entering the room, the woman pushed the door open and turned to look at Su Qingsang. Then, she mouthed two words silently.

The door opened and closed.

The beautiful figure disappeared behind the door.

There was a subtle change of expression on Su Qingsang’s face.

Today was the first time she had come to Huo Jinyao’s office. When Yang Wenchang took her upstairs earlier on, they had taken the elevator which was exclusively for the CEO’s use.

Su Qingsang couldn’t recall meeting other people on her way to Huo Jinyao’s office. How did that woman know who she was?

“Qingsang, what’s wrong?”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s words called her back to the present. Only then did Su Qingsang realize that she had already left the building and was in the parking lot.

“Nothing,” said Su Qingsang, shaking her head. It was just that she was thinking about the silent words that the woman had mouthed. She felt as if she had been provoked.

Who was that woman? What had she meant by mouthing those words?

“Tsk… I know you and Huo Jinyao are in love, but you don’t need to look like this the moment you leave him. I mean, you guys are together every day.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was annoyed by her distraction. “I already didn’t go up so that I could let you two be alone together. Yet, you are still reluctant to part with him. You guys make me jealous.”

“What are you talking about?”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s words amused Su Qingsang. “I’m not unwilling to leave. It’s just that I got reminded of Huo Jinyao’s dislike for desserts, and I just gave two boxes of desserts to him.”

While both of them were walking around earlier, they had come across a dessert shop. That’s why Su Qingsang decided to buy the boxes of sweets and give them to Huo Jinyao.

Later, it dawned upon her that she had never seen Huo Jinyao eat desserts, whether they dined outside or ate at the Huo Mansion.

“It looks like you are a lousy wife,” s.h.i.+ Mengwan teased. “How could you not know what your husband likes to eat?”

“It’s not like that. I know it, but I just forgot.”

Su Qingsang blushed slightly. She only forgot about it temporarily, after she and s.h.i.+ Mengwen had started hanging out.

“I think you should be more careful. Your husband is so handsome and exceptional. What if one day some other girl steals him from you? Don’t wait till it happens.”

“Screw you, my Jinyao wouldn’t do that.”

Su Qingsang was certain about it in her heart, but she couldn’t help but think of the woman she had seen upstairs.

Out of nowhere, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

“‘My Jinyao.’ Tsk, I’m jealous.”

s.h.i.+ Mengwan’s voice got through to her. She tried to get rid of her thoughts.

She believed in Huo Jinyao’s moral compa.s.s. He wouldn’t betray his marriage and his love for her.

Unless she was given a very convincing reason not to, she would simply trust him.

With that confidence, Su Qingsang didn’t ask Huo Jinyao who that woman was when they were together that night.

She didn’t need to ask, nor did she need to know. Since she trusted him, there was no point in asking.

s.h.i.+ Mengwan was leaving the next day, so Su Qingsang spent the night with her.

As for Huo Jinyao’s sullen face, Su Qingsang simply ignored it.

Su Qingsang saw s.h.i.+ Mengwan off at the airport the next day and went back to the hospital to work.

Things were getting very busy at the hospital. It looked as if a bunch of people had planned to give birth at the same time.

The hospital was admitting lots of maternity patients every day, and every room was occupied.

Su Qingsang was not only on call but had to pay close attention to several patients who were in poor condition.

Even Zheng Chenyu was as busy as a bee. Some maternity patients refused to see male doctors, but when the department was out of female doctors, they had no choice but to go to Zheng Chenyu.

Considering the circ.u.mstances, when the following weekend arrived, Su Qingsang naturally didn’t have the time to go to the Huo Mansion.

She called Old Master Huo and told him that she was on call this weekend, so she couldn’t come back to visit him.

Old Master Huo quite understood his granddaughter-in-law’s job. He didn’t say much but let her do her work.

…

Huo Jinyao looked at Micah, who was sitting in front of him. The person who sat next to him was his secretary, and her English name was Vera.

Huo Jinyao only brought Yang Wenchang with him this time. They had been seated for 20 minutes.

Micah didn’t start speaking for a long time. Nevertheless, Huo Jinyao continued to remain patient. He enjoyed the tea unhurriedly.

“Excellent tea,” said Huo Jinyao. After making the compliment, he looked at Yang Wenchang. “You should try it.”

His att.i.tude was slightly insolent. Micah was displeased in his heart, but he didn’t show any dissatisfaction on his face.

“Mr. Huo, I’m surprised that you’re in the mood to drink tea. I thought you wouldn’t even have an appet.i.te for food.”

“How come?” Huo Jinyao laughed. “Why would I have lost my appet.i.te?”

“Mr. Huo.” Micah thought that Huo Jinyao was pretending. From his perspective, he wondered how Huo Jinyao could not care at all. It just seemed impossible.

“Now, I want to talk about the cooperation between us. You were the one who negotiated with me before. Why has it changed to Huo Yifan now?

“No matter who is negotiating with you, the final result is still Tianyu Group cooperating with you. I don’t see any difference.”

“Of course there is a difference.” Micah looked at Huo Jinyao and tried again. “Mr. Huo, our negotiation has been going very well. I thought you were willing to cooperate with me.”

“That’s true. Tianyu Group is willing to cooperate with Ickes at any time.”

Huo Jinyao meant two companies, but Micah meant two people.

Micah wasn’t stupid. He surely understood the implication. “Mr. Huo, I don’t think you are willing to give such a large slice of cake to your cousin.”

“Even you have said that he is my cousin, so what’s wrong with sharing?”

“But Tianyu Group belongs to you,” said Micah. He looked like he felt awful for Huo Jinyao. “Doesn’t it?”

“Please be careful about what you say. Tianyu Group belongs to the Huo Family.”

“But without your father, Tianyu Group wouldn’t have reached such a scale today.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t deny it. That’s why Huo Mingguang was the president of Tianyu Group, while Huo Mingliang was merely a director of the company; a sinecure.

When Tianyu Group was founded, it hadn’t been as large as it was right now.

Although Old Master Huo was a man of action who acted big and bold, he had only made Tianyu Group the largest company in Rong City.

It was Huo Mingguang who has taken the company from his father and extended business to other cities nationwide. He laid the foundation for Tianyu Group to become an international corporation.

Then it was handed over to Huo Jinyao. He took a series of measures to help Tianyu Group grow and thrive in the industry.

Huo Jinyao knew what Micah meant. Frankly speaking, he and Huo Mingguang were ent.i.tled to own the whole of Tianyu Group.

It was also the reality. However, after Huo Yifan graduated from college and started working in Tianyu Group, he and his brother Huo Yiyang gradually became dissatisfied.

They had plotted against the company, but Huo Mingguang tolerated them. Because of that, they brought a lot of trouble to Huo Jinyao.

“What do you want to say, Micah? You can just be honest about your opinions. If you want me to play against my cousin, please stop. In some sense, I still trust him.”

Even if he didn’t trust him, it was a private family matter. He wouldn’t express his true feelings in front of Micah, who was a business partner, as well as a foreigner.

“Mr. Huo, you have a big heart. I’m no match for your generosity.” Micah sighed, feeling a little hopeless at Huo Jinyao’s att.i.tude. “Mr. Huo, I am sincere about our cooperation, but I have happened to learn about some things, and I believe you will be interested to hear them.”

Micah didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point. As Micah began to speak, Huo Jinyao’s face slowly changed color.

…

Su Qingsang was finally not on call today and didn’t need to stay in the hospital. She bought some bird food for the parrot and purchased two boxes of tea for Old Master Huo.

She had heard from Huo Jinyao that Old Master Huo loved tea. The Huo Family undoubtedly had good tea, even the finest tea specialized for them.

But it was different when Su Qingsang gave the tea to Old Master Huo. She hadn’t visited him in a long time, and she wanted to make amends with this gift chosen by her.

Old Master Huo was nice to her and trusted her. Su Qingsang was grateful in her heart. If possible, she wanted to spend more time with him.

However, when Su Qingsang arrived at the Huo Mansion, she found that Old Master Huo was out to visit his old friend. He would be back later, but Mr. Cheng didn’t know when, or whether he would have dinner at home or not.

Su Qingsang decided to see the parrot before she went back home. Since Old Master Huo wasn’t home, Su Qingsang didn’t need to stay for long.

Her main concern was, what if she ran into Liu Tongjia? Although they wouldn’t start a fight, their encounters were never pleasant. She told herself that it was better to avoid any potential argument.

Su Qingsang was standing under the roof of the backyard. It was getting warm in Rong City. The temperature was not very high, but it wasn’t as cold as before.

The parrot seemed happy seeing her, and it called her name over and over again.

However, even if the parrot was happy, it still expressed its discontent.

“A*shole, you don’t visit me. A*shole, you don’t talk to me.”

Su Qingsang laughed at this insanity. The bird used to be as cool as a cuc.u.mber but now, no matter how Su Qingsang called it, the bird didn’t respond. How had things changed so much?

What was hilarious was the fact that the bird wasn’t only complaining but also cursing.

“I don’t think you should be called Jade. You should be called rascal.”

“Rascal, rascal. Rascal, you rascal.”

The parrot was cursing again. Su Qingsang laughed. How had the bird become so obsessed with cursing?

Su Qingsang was interested. She glared at the parrot, her eyes ferocious.

“You want to do it, huh? Do you believe that I can pluck all your feathers and eat you?”

“Scoundrel! Scoundrel!” the parrot screamed. “Boss, help! Scoundrel! Going to eat me! Scoundrel! Help me! Help me!”

“Hahahahaha.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t help but laugh. She was delighted by this funny bird. However, her laughter was cut short when she heard another laugh coming from behind her.

She controlled her laughter and immediately turned back.
