TO MY DEAR MR. HUO

Chapter 558: They Probably Won’t Get along Well

The others had not been informed of Su Qingsang’s true parentage, but Old Master Huo had. Huo Jinyao told him about that when he had returned from Lin City.

Su Qingsang had been keeping the truth a secret because she didn’t want to ruin Su Chenghui’s reputation.

However, Su Peizhen was not as kind as her half-sister.

Since Su Qingsang had proven to be the legitimate daughter of her parents, that meant that Su Peizhen had to be the illegitimate one.

Old Master Huo had no problems with illegitimate children. He could even understand that Su Chenghui had been driven by anger to commit that wicked deed.

However, after meeting Su Peizhen, he started to think differently of the Su family.

They had abandoned Su Peizhen after taking their legitimate daughter back. Su Peizhen was not the biological daughter of Li Qianxue’s but had nonetheless been raised by her. There ought to have been some familial affection between the Su family and that girl.

How could they have cast her out of the family so cruelly?

Old Master Huo did not consider their actions to be completely inappropriate. Li Qianxue no longer saw Su Peizhen as her daughter after learning as she had that Su Chenghui had fooled her for many years. That was cruel but understandable.

And of course, Su Qingsang was part of it too.

As Su Peizhen had said, Su Qingsang was now married to Huo Jinyao and so had his support.

That was probably the reason why the Su family had been exceedingly cruel to Su Peizhen.

They had cast her out of the family both to please Su Qingsang and also to punish Su Chenghui.

As Old Master Huo remained silent, none of the younger family members said anything.

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing on Su Peizhen. He realized that he had underestimated that woman. Su Peizhen hadn’t mentioned the fact that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Su family. If he hadn’t told the truth to his grandfather, his grandfather might think of the Su family as snobs who would abandon their actual daughter for the chance to become in-laws with the Huo family.

Unbeknownst to Huo Jinyao however, Old Master Huo was indeed having some new thoughts about Su Qingsang and her family.

Su Peizhen was an illegitimate child and that itself was no big deal.

Many families in Rong City had illegitimate children.

Such children were typically raised outside of their families, but for the families that decided to take in illegitimate children, they would never cast them out.

Old Master Huo glanced at Huo Yifan and starting to speak. He sounded nowhere near as delighted as he’d been before. “This is your decision to make. I do not intend to interfere. You two can do whatever you think is right.”

He had accepted Su Peizhen as a potential granddaughter-in-law.

Huo Jinyao looked at Old Master Huo, understanding that his grandfather wasn’t wrong. Indeed, Huo Yifan had the right to be with anyone he liked.

Even though Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang were both in agreement, neither of them was feeling happy at the moment, especially not Su Qingsang.

Su Peizhen hadn’t mentioned why exactly she had been kicked out of her family. The people who were unaware of the truth might buy her words and believe it had been Su Qingsang’s marriage with Huo Jinyao that had precipitated it.
