TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

Chapter 467: Maybe I Should Take Her Home

Huo Jinyao recalled how Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang had become reacquainted with each other.

“Her daughter had lived with her for over twenty years, but she didn’t know that it was her daughter. It’s understandable that she had a real shock from that. That’s why I let Qingsang spend a few days with her mother. Grandpa, if you want to blame someone for that, blame me.”

“I don’t blame you.” Old Master Huo hadn’t known the full story before. “Despite everything, they still came here in such haste. I can see how much Qingsang means to them.”

“Of course.” Huo Jinyao nodded. Thinking of what Su Qingsang had told him the day before, he continued, “Qingsang’s mother and grandfather have just gotten her back. They really don’t want to part with her so quickly, actually, but in consideration of our family, they will let her come back here soon.”

The Li family had really been trying to consider things from Su Qingsang’s perspective.

“They didn’t come here right after they got off the plane yesterday, because Lin City’s traditions don’t allow people to meet with their in-laws in the afternoon. They did that to show us respect and to let us know how important this marriage is to them, even though we don’t have that kind of tradition here.”

“That’s right.” Old Master Huo nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I understand.”

Huo Jinyao sighed with relief and said, “Grandpa—actually, Qingsang didn’t want me to tell our family about her story. She didn’t even plan to tell her mother the truth. In fact, things have ended up this way because of a series of coincidences.”

“Qingsang planned to take care of Xiang Caiping for the rest of her life and treat her like her real mother. If Li Qianxue hadn’t coincidentally returned when we got home, all if this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Jinyao, you don’t need to explain. I know what you’re trying to tell me, and I know what your mother has said. Sometimes, she can be very opinionated and assertive. Don’t worry, you don’t need to take what she’s said seriously.”

Huo Jinyao nodded. He did not take Liu Tongjia’s words to heart, but he was still worried that she would keep giving Su Qingsang a hard time. She might use the fact that Qingsang didn’t come home with him for the New Year as an excuse to be harsh.

He didn’t really care what Liu Tongjia had said. He knew that Liu Tongjia had held a grudge with him all these years. He just didn’t want Su Qingsang to have to put up with unreasonable confrontations from Liu Tongjia.

“I know that you’re worried that your mother might not treat Qingsang well. Relax. Your mother is sharp-tongued, but she won’t do anything awful. If she is really tempted to be cruel one of these days, I’ll stop her.”

“Grandpa, thank you.”

If it weren’t for Old Master Huo, the family would have many more problems.

“Alright kid, no need to thank me.” Old Master Huo looked at Huo Jinyao with glowing eyes. “If you really want to thank me, have a baby with Qingsang. I’d be so happy to have a great-grandson.”

“That’ll happen sooner or later.”

“Master, people from the Li family are here.” Uncle Zhang had appeared as they were talking.

Old Master Huo and Huo Jinyao hurriedly went downstairs.

When Yang Wenchang picked them up from the hotel, he gave Huo Jinyao a call. That way, by the time Old Master Li and Li Qianxue entered the courtyard, Huo Jinyao was already at the bottom of the stairs.
