Chapter 556: She Is My Sister

The Huo family hardly judged people by their family backgrounds but they did care about observing courtesies. Old Master Huo wished he had been informed about Huo Yifan bringing his girlfriend in advance. All the same, he was happy to meet her.

As Huo Yifan’s grandfather, he would be pleased to see him enter into a stable relationship.

While Huo Yifan was speaking, his eyes alighted on the person behind Yifan in anticipation.

Huo Yifan apologized for being late first before continuing to say, “Yeah, I went to pick her up. Grandpa, this is my girlfriend.”

He took a few steps forward as he introduced her. The girl, hand in hand with him, took a few steps forward as well and walked to his side.

At that point, the rest of the family finally saw her face.

Su Qingsang hadn’t expected to meet Huo Yifan’s girlfriend at a family meeting. She figured it must mean that Huo Yifan was serious about a girl this time.

She froze when she realized who it was.

“Grandpa, this is Su Peizhen, my girlfriend. Peizhen, this is my Grandpa.” Huo Yifan proceeded to introduce Su Peizhen to his grandfather.

Su Peizhen? How could it be Su Peizhen? Su Qingsang failed to hide the shock from her eyes, as these questions were raced through her mind.

Huo Jinyao was somewhat surprised as well. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking over Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen in a scrutinizing manner.

Su Peizhen took a few more steps forward until she was standing right in front of the entire Huo Family.

She was not intimidated in the least. Looking directly at Old Master Huo, she bowed naturally and politely.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Grandpa Huo,” she said.

As she spoke, she brought out the medium-sized gift box she had been concealing and handed it to Old Master Huo.

“Grandpa Huo, I know little about your preferences, and Yifan invited me here without much notice. I didn’t have the time to prepare a better gift for you. I’ve brought you this humble little token. I hope you’ll like it.”

Most of the time, Su Peizhen put on a sexy, charming look, which many elders would have disapproved of. However, before her visit to the Huo Family, she had invested some extra effort to dress up in a departure from her usual style. She picked a lovely dress with long sleeves, and a jacket designed in along the lines of a classic Chanel.

Wearing that outfit, she made herself look much more mature and flamboyant than usual. The new dress along with her politeness and warm attitude helped her to make a good impression on Old Master Huo.

“It’s nice to meet you. You really didn’t have to bring me anything. We are just happy to have you here.”

Old Master Huo took the gift.

“Oh, but I wanted to bring you a gift.” Su Peizhen held Huo Yifan’s arm and continued, “I’ve heard so much about you from Yifan. He always told me you’re the person he admires and respects the most. I’ve been so jealous of him for having such a wonderful grandpa.”

“Really?” Old Master Huo asked.

He wasn’t one who particularly enjoyed receiving compliments, but even still, Su Peizhen’s words made him smile faintly.

“Of course! After hearing all that Yi Fan has had to say about you, I couldn’t wait to meet you in person.”

Su Peizhen ducked her head. At that moment she looked nothing like the spoiled rich girl she used to be. The aggression that she had shown to Huo Yifan was nowhere to be seen.
