To My Dear Mr. Huo

He didn't speak, and the living room became very quiet for a while. The weather was a little hot, and Su Qingsang was sweating a little from being hugged by Huo Jinyao.

Putting his hands on Huo Jinyao's shoulders, this idea was the result of Su Qingsang's careful consideration today.

"I know, you may be unhappy. But Auntie is alone, even if she has a nanny, she may not be able to take care of her. Furthermore, Su Peizhen will be imprisoned for four or five years. When she comes out, we still don't know. What is the situation? If we take Auntie over to live with her, no matter what, we can at least make her less lonely. What do you think? "

Huo Jinyao looked at her: "Have you made your decision?"

"No, isn't this what I'm asking you for? If you don't come at the same time, I won't pick him up."

"However, I think that even if auntie comes, we will not have problems getting along. You know, auntie is a good person. She also takes good care of us in Lin City. I really don't want to see her alone."

Without the past few months of getting along, Su Qingsang would have just sighed.

But after those few months together, and what Xiang Caiping had done for her before, she couldn't bear it. I don't even want to see her spend her old age in such a miserable state, so lonely.

Huo Jinyao took her hand and wrapped it in his palm. Her hands are very slender, not the kind of fleshy hands, thin, transparent and white because they often need to be disinfected during surgeries.

His fingertips slid across her palm bit by bit, looking at the texture on it.

"Honey, look at this love line. It's too deep and too long. At first glance, you can tell that you are a person who values ​​love and justice."

Su Qingsang listened to his nonsense, but couldn't laugh: "Why didn't I know that you could tell fortunes? Okay. If you want to say that I am indecisive, just say so, but I really don't want to see my aunt like this. .”

"Okay." Huo Jinyao nodded, held her hand, and stared at Su Qingsang's face, which suddenly became serious when she thought he agreed.

"You want auntie to move in with us?"

"right."

"Did you think she would say yes?"

"This?" Su Qingsang thought of Xiang Caiping's stubborn side: "I will convince her."

Although Xiang Caiping has a nanny at home now, the nanny will go home. Even if you are with her 24 hours a day, the feeling cannot be compared to that of a relative or family member.

"Okay. You'll convince her, what about me?"

"you?"

"Su Peizhen is her daughter. Who sent Su Peizhen to prison?" Even if Xiang Caiping doesn't hate her, it's impossible for her not to have any grudges, right?

"..." Su Qingsang was speechless, and her voice weakened: "Maybe Auntie doesn't blame you."

Huo Jinyao continued: "It's not my fault. But I sent her daughter to prison. It's a fact that I ignored her when she came to me."

Su Qingsang understood what he meant, but: "Auntie is not that kind of person."

"She is indeed not, but Su Pei is."

Huo Jinyao knew that Su Qingsang had good intentions, but some people really didn't deserve to be nice to her: "After Su Peizhen comes out of prison, do you think she will thank you for taking care of her mother for her? Or do you hate you for even taking care of her mother?" For some relatives, the only maternal love they have is to be taken away from them?"

"I didn't. I just-"

"You don't have it, but she will think you have it." Huo Jinyao didn't mind teaching her a lesson: "Do you know why Su Peizhen got to where she is today? She has a paranoid personality. To put it bluntly, if you mess with Sorry. She only believes in what she has already determined. As for other things, she ignores them."

"Qingsang. If you really feel sorry for your aunt, go see her more often. I believe she will be very happy. But if you want to bring her to live with you, I don't think it's appropriate."

Su Qingsang didn't speak, but his expression darkened. Huo Jinyao's analysis made sense, but: "Jin Yao, how many years will we take care of her? When Su Peizhen is released from prison, we will return her aunt to her. Besides, you also said that we don't know what will happen to her after she is released. . In this case, why don’t we let Auntie enjoy the warmth of family first?”

Huo Jinyao knew she was stubborn, but he didn't expect her to be so stubborn.

"Qingsang, you want her to enjoy the warmth of family. What about your mother?"

Seeing that she didn't react for a while, Huo Jinyao didn't mind making it clearer: "Your mother, Ms. Li Qianxue. The two people I hate the most in my life are your father. Now they are divorced, and the other is my aunt. So, let me ask Mrs. Huo, if you bring your aunt to take care of her and give her the warmth of home, where do you put your mother?"

Su Qingsang looked at him blankly, with an expression that was a bit silly and dazed.

Li Qianxue? Yes, she actually forgot about Li Qianxue at this moment.

Huo Jinyao smiled and shook his head, then reached out and flicked her forehead gently.

"You."

"But……"

"There are no buts." Huo Jinyao's voice was serious: "Qingsang, sometimes life is such a cruel multiple-choice question, it's either one or two, not three."

Su Qingsang's lips opened and closed, closed and opened again. She thought of Xiang Caiping's back when she got out of the car today, and her steps when she staggered into the prison gate.

She actually felt very uncomfortable.

But Huo Jinyao was right about one thing. It is impossible for Li Qianxue and Xiang Caiping to coexist.

Li Qianxue is not in Rongcheng now. If she were in Rongcheng, she would definitely object if she knew that she wanted to take Xiang Caiping into her care.

This move will definitely affect the mother-daughter relationship between her and Li Qianxue.

"I -" Su Qingsang said the word "I" and lowered her head. Huo Jinyao understood her mood, Xiang Caiping was also very kind to him, and he was willing to take care of her.

However, there is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

He was not afraid of trouble, but he didn't want Su Qingsang to face these troubles.

"I didn't think about it that much. I didn't mean to disrespect my mother." Su Qingsang buried her head in his chest, her voice was so soft that if he hadn't been so close, it would have been almost impossible to hear her.

"I just feel sorry for Auntie." Those few months. Auntie's kindness to her is genuine.

"Do you remember? She knitted a sweater for me, and that sweater is still in the closet upstairs. She cooked local home-cooked food in Lin City for me, and she treated me in different ways every day. I know, you want to say She did that because she regarded me as her daughter. These kindnesses were originally meant to Su Peizhen from her. But Jin Yao. I couldn't help it, I couldn't treat her as a stranger. Not to mention that she wanted to buy something for me. A piece of peace jade, was hit by a car, almost died, almost paralyzed."

Her voice was thin, and she raised her head to look at Huo Jinyao, with tears in her eyes: "I just feel sorry for her."

The man was robbed, and in a fit of rage he abandoned his daughter and ran away. I finally recognized that my daughter was a fake again. When he recognized his true daughter, he went to jail again.

If it were someone with a weaker mind, he might have committed suicide.

"I know, but you can't offend your own mother for someone else's mother, right?"

Huo Jinyao wrapped her body in his arms and patted her back gently: "Qingsang, you have been with your aunt for several months and have feelings for her. I understand that you want to take care of her. But there are some things in this world. , it’s just so helpless.”

You can not have it both ways.

Su Qingsang didn't say anything, she knew. If she had to take care of a lonely old man today, maybe Li Qianxue wouldn't have any objections.

But that person is Xiang Caiping, so that won't work. But what happened to Guan Xiang Caiping?

"Okay, don't think about it." Huo Jinyao held her face in his hands and asked her to look at him: "I think auntie may not be willing to come and live with us."

Xiang Caiping is a very proud person. The worse her current situation is, the more unwilling she is to accept help from others. After all, who wants to bear the sympathy of others?

Su Qingsang knew it, but felt uncomfortable.

Seeing how disappointed she was, Huo Jinyao leaned over and kissed her on the lips: "Honey, how about we go out to play?"

"Going to play?" Where to play? She is not in the mood at all right now.

"Look, we didn't even go on our honeymoon when we got married. Why don't we find a place to have fun for a few days?"

Su Qingsang glanced at Huo Jinyao and suddenly smiled: "Jin Yao, don't be like this. I will adjust it myself."

She buried her face in his chest and put her hands around his waist: "Huo Jinyao, thank you."

"Actually, it's good to go out for a walk, not necessarily just to relax. You can also go for fun. How about treating it as a honeymoon trip?"

Su Qingsang rubbed her face in his arms: "Do you have a day off? You seem very busy recently. Is your company really going well?"

Huo Jinyao frowned, thinking of the ongoing case. There's really no time.

"Next month." Huo Jinyao remembered something: "Next month I'm going to Italy to negotiate a contract. Will you come with me then?"

"Let's talk about it then, I still have to take the test."

The hospital has been very busy recently. She has an exam and a paper. Recently, a lot of progress has been delayed due to these things.

"Didn't you say that the exam will be at the end of the month? When you finish the exam, which happens to be at the beginning of next month, we can just relax. How about that?"

"Okay." Su Qingsang couldn't find any reason to refuse. His intentions made her unable to refuse, and her mood relaxed a lot: "I haven't been to Italy yet."

"Isn't it over then? Then we can still spend a few days in Europe."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

……………………

Su Chenghui sat opposite Su Qingsang. The two fathers and daughters haven't seen each other for several months, but they care about each other without saying a word.

Su Qingsang's face was expressionless, while Su Chenghui looked at her with a look of shame on his face. He got off the plane and went to Su Qingsang's hospital with almost no rest.

It was also good luck that Su Qingsang happened to get off work. Instead of taking Su Chenghui home, he came to a nearby hotel.

Sitting in a corner of the hotel's splendid restaurant, the whispers of guests at other tables had no influence on their conversation.

The phone rang. Su Qingsang glanced at Su Chenghui and answered the phone. Huo Jinyao had a party with his gang of teenagers tonight and asked her if she was going?

"No need. Something's up."

"Jun Sheng is back. It's rare for him to come back. If you're not particularly busy, can I come and pick you up?"

Su Qingsang's voice was very soft: "You should play with them. My dad is here."

Huo Jinyao understood: "Okay, you work first. I'll come find you later."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Su Qingsang looked at Su Chenghui in front of him. Time has really been kind to this man. Already middle-aged, he still looks elegant and stylish.

There is no trace of a businessman in his temperament, and some people would believe him if he were a professor at some university.

"I know you came here to know about Su Peizhen. I'll tell you."

"Green mulberry."

Su Chenghui interrupted her and took out a box from his pocket: "This is the gift I bought for you when I went to France last time. It's for you."

Su Qingsang looked at the box. The logo above is not unfamiliar to her. He didn't rush to get it, but looked at Su Chenghui.

"Su Peizhen, she is going to jail for her own fault. If you want to intercede for her, or want Huo Jinyao to let her go, you don't need to speak."

It was rare for her to be so tough in front of Su Chenghui. Partly because she really hated what Su Peizhen did, and partly because she was somewhat uncomfortable with Su Chenghui's previous actions.

Su Chenghui looked a little embarrassed. He rarely showed such a side in front of his children.

"No, Qingsang. I didn't mean to plead for Peizhen. I just saw this gift when I went to France last time and thought it was very suitable for you."

His voice was very soft. Since the two daughters were exchanged, whether he was facing Li Qianxue or Su Qingsang. There is always a little bit less confidence.

His sincere eyes didn't seem to be fake. Su Qingsang felt a little embarrassed and took the small box.

"Thanks dad."

"You're welcome."

Su Chenghui called the waiter to start ordering. Then he asked Su Qingsang what he liked to eat. Su Qingsang had been here with Huo Jinyao before and ordered a random dish.

Su Chenghui didn't force it, and the two of them ordered four dishes and one soup. After the waiter left, he looked at Su Qingsang with a faint expression of concern.

"How are you doing lately? Is Huo Jinyao treating you well?"

"Everything is fine." Although the relationship between Huo Jinyao and Liu Tongjia cannot be established overnight, they have become obviously closer recently.

They don't go back to their old house, and occasionally Liu Tongjia will come over for dinner.

"That's good, that's good."

After Su Chenghui said this, he couldn't find anything to say. He picked up the tea in front of him and poured himself a cup of tea, and then poured another cup for Su Qingsang.

He didn't speak. Su Qingsang had known him for a long time and couldn't find anything to say, so he had to speak first.

"Dad. Su Peizhen is currently serving her sentence in Rongcheng Prison. She is charged with stealing trade secrets. She was previously——"

"Qingsang. I really just want to see you. Since Peizhen is going to jail, she must have done something wrong. I know it all."

He didn't say what he knew, but some of his words were already his attitude. Su Qingsang was stunned for a moment.

"Dad, you'd better listen."

In Su Chenghui's heart, Su Peizhen was his most beloved daughter. Now that it's like this, he should know.

Let’s briefly talk about what Su Peizhen did. She drugged Zhang Yichen when she was in Rongcheng, and then drugged her when she went to Lin City. Later, she stole Huo Jinyao's plan.

"Letting her go to jail for a few years is a big punishment for her. But I don't think Jin Yao and I made any mistakes."

Su Chenghui sat there without speaking. In fact, he was quite shocked at this time.

"She-she, is she crazy?"

"I don't know." Su Qingsang shook his head and said in a very soft voice: "Dad, it's okay if you come. Go see her. Talk to her. Comfort her."

Su Chenghui had a complicated expression, and finally nodded: "Okay."

The meal was spent in silence. After the meal, Su Qingsang knew that normally, she should let Su Chenghui stay at home. There was a guest room anyway, but she was reluctant.

"Dad. Let me book a room for you."

She had brought Su Chenghui to this hotel for dinner before, which was why she had this intention.

"It doesn't matter, I will order it myself."

Su Chenghui glanced at Su Qingsang, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Su Qingsang saw it, but didn't intend to invite him. She seemed to understand Huo Jinyao's previous mood now.

Having been hurt by a loved one for too long, sometimes it is really not possible to accept the other person in just one or two moments.

Su Chenghui opened the room, and Su Qingsang planned to send him back to the room and leave.

"Dad, please go to bed early. If nothing happens, I'll go back first."

Su Chenghui moved his lips, deliberately asking Su Qingsang to stay a little longer. He wanted to talk to her. But I couldn't find a position.

Su Qingsang's cell phone rang at the right time, and Li Qianxue was sending a video request.

At this time every day, as long as it was convenient for Su Qingsang, she would definitely video chat with Li Qianxue.

Looking at Su Chenghui now, she hesitated but picked up.

"Mom." As soon as she called out, Su Chenghui's eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared at her phone with intense eyes. Su Qingsang turned her body slightly to prevent Li Qianxue on the other side of the video from getting any clues.

"Qingsang." Li Qianxue discovered at a glance that the environment Su Qingsang was in was neither home nor a hospital: "Is it outside? Is it convenient to talk?"

"I'm outside. I have something to do. I'll go back later." Su Qingsang noticed that Su Chenghui had taken a step this way. She subconsciously took a step back: "Mom, are you still working overtime?"

The environment Li Qianxue was in was her office, and she looked like she was still working overtime.

"There's still a little work to be done. I'll go back after a while."

"Don't be busy too late." Su Qingsang knew that Li Qianxue had recently talked about a new project and was actually very busy: "Mom, if you are busy, I will talk to you later."

"It's okay, I-"

Li Qianxue said the word "I" and heard a knock on the door. Before she could hang up the call, someone outside had already come in.

"I knew you were working overtime again."

A clear male voice sounded very young.

It was too late for Li Qianxue to turn off the video, because the voice had already come in.

"I brought you dinner. Come, eat and then work."

"Who let you in?"

"I knocked on the door."

"You knocked on the door and I didn't allow you to come in."

Li Qianxue stood up and was about to turn off the video when Su Qingsang saw the man approaching.

"Get out. Did you hear me?"

"I've already come in, but I'm still here to deliver dinner to you. You don't have to be so cold, right?"

Su Qingsang heard approaching sounds over there, and soon she saw a figure.

"Hey, is this your daughter? She doesn't look like you. Hai. Hello, hello, I am you——"

It was a face that looked quite young and quite handsome. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could speak, Li Qianxue had already hung up the call.

"..." Su Qingsang originally wanted to ask who that person was. Now there is no chance.

The man looked to be in his early thirties. The voice when talking to Li Qianxue was so casual.

Blinking his eyes, Su Qingsang thought of an almost impossible thing. That man can't be my mother's suitor, right?

If so, that’s really too——

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Su Chenghui still standing in front of her, and Su Qingsang calmed down the emotions on her face. Because she found Su Chenghui's face ugly.

"Dad?" No matter how wrong the other person is, he is still her dad. Su Qingsang took a step forward with concern on his face: "Are you okay?"

Su Chenghui came back to his senses and shook his head stiffly.

"dad?"

"It's okay." Su Chenghui's voice was a little obscure: "You should go back and rest. It's getting late."

"and you……"

Su Chenghui didn't seem to want to say much, and Su Qingsang had nothing to say to him. After saying a few words of concern, he left.

Before leaving, she thought about Su Chenghui's pale and shocked face when she heard the man's voice. She suddenly felt that Su Chenghui seemed a little pitiful.

When I got home, Huo Jinyao hadn't come back yet. She looked at the time. If Li Junsheng came back, the gathering of that group of people might not end so early.

She sent another video request to Li Qianxue. But he was rejected by the other party.

She had to call instead. It rang for a long time, and this time, Li Qianxue finally answered.

"Qingsang." There seemed to be something wrong with Li Qianxue's voice, and Su Qingsang couldn't help but become concerned.

"Mom? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, what can happen to me?"

"I heard just now that you haven't eaten yet?"

"Eat. Already eaten."

Li Qianxue spoke quickly, but Su Qingsang thought of the man who just said he would bring her food. Will the meal she eats be given by that man?

"Qingsang, Mom still has some documents that I haven't read yet. I'll tell you tomorrow."

Li Qianxue's voice was a little urgent. The man in front of her had already begun to pack away the lunch boxes on the table.

The time when Su Qingsang returned home from the hotel was just enough time for Li Qianxue to finish dinner.

The man smiled arrogantly at Li Qianxue. His mouth moved as if he was about to speak. Li Qianxue glared at the man: "Qingsang, I'll hang up first."

"okay."

Su Qingsang hung up the phone and confirmed two things. First, the man was probably still in Li Qianxue's office. Secondly, that man and Li Qianxue are probably a little unusual.

He might be Li Qianxue's suitor, or he might be a man that Li Qianxue admires.

But she was in no hurry. Whether Li Qianxue has a new suitor or Li Qianxue has fallen in love with someone else, she believes that with her age and experience, she will know what she wants.

She also hopes that Li Qianxue can regain happiness. Just thinking of Su Chenghui's pale face today, Su Qingsang couldn't bear it.

If Li Qianxue really starts over, then Su Chenghui will definitely be in pain, right?

One update. Six thousand words. I originally wanted to write about Little Baozi. But I decided to give Su Chenghui a little abuse. Next chapter, the little bun is here.
