Chapter 424 - Who Told You
Chapter 424: Who Told You
As soon as the words were uttered, Su Chenghui was frozen. “What are you talking about? You are moving to Rong City?”
Su Chenghui did know that Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao would move to Rong City eventually.
He knew Huo Jinyao was from Rong City, and they would leave Lin City sometime in the future, but he didn’t expect it would be so soon.
“When did you decide? Did you both make up your minds?”
“Yes. We have made our decision.”
Huo Jinyao spoke quietly. When he spoke, he was paying attention to Su Chenghui’s expression.
“Qingsang’s mom stayed at Rong City during the past years. She also said she was used to the climate there, and she wanted to go back.”
Su Chenghui paused when he heard Huo Jinyao mention Xiang Caiping. That’s right, Xiang Caiping also came from Rong City.
So they decided to leave together?
“Qingsang also decided to go, and that’s why I am here. I just wanted to let you know.”
Huo Jinyao’s voice stopped for a moment, and he sounded a little bit reluctant. “In any case, you are Qingsang’s father. We feel obliged to inform you that we are leaving Lin City.”
“After all, if we leave, it would not be easy for us to see each other again. It even takes two hours by flight.”
Su Chenghui didn’t say anything. He just had a fight with Li Qianxue owing to Su Qingsang’s birth.
Now, Su Qingsang was leaving for Rong City.
Given her personality, with Xiang Caiping living with her, it was doubtful she would ever come back.
Even if she did come back, she probably would only be back a few times. It made things easier for him, he thought.
Since the people concerned no longer lived in Lin City, it would mean that the incident would not be brought up anymore.
Inexplicably, Su Chenghui thought the current situation was not bad.
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Chenghui. He didn’t find any unwillingness or reluctance in his eyes; instead, he seemed relieved.
He stared at Su Chenghui carefully. He had been observing him all the time until the moment he saw relief in his eyes.
He had only intended to blow off steam in some kind of way, but now he wanted to do more for Su Qingsang.
“Dad, you seem very happy,” Huo Jinyao stared at Su Chenghui’s face because he didn’t want to miss any expression on his face.
“In any case, Qingsang is your daughter. She is leaving now, and you actually felt relaxed and satisfied?”
Huo Jinyao spoke casually. His voice was light, and he leaned back in the chair in a casual way.
However, his eyes were very sharp. He gave Su Chenghui a look that was so poignant that it seemed to get right to his heart and scan his innermost thoughts.
“What are you talking about?” Su Chenghui cleared his throat and tried hard to conceal his uneasiness. “How could you say I am happy?”
Realizing his tone was a little bit harsh, Su Chenghui took a deep breath and said, “This isn’t about me. Qingsang is my daughter, and of course, I wish her the best. Since she got married to you, you are responsible for her future and all the things that will happen to her. She is leaving, and I believe you will arrange everything for her.”
“Rong City is bigger than Lin City, so I believe she will get ahead in her career and have a brighter future. In this case, why should I not be happy?”
Su Chenghui said many words, but none of them were on point.
Now Huo Jinyao understood. He leaned to one side, with a hand on the armrest.
He faced Su Chenghui with an ambivalent attitude of mixed idleness and sharpness.
“You indeed have no reason to be unhappy. Because from your perspective, it is a good thing for Su Qingsang to leave.”
Su Chenghui was stunned, not realizing what Huo Jinyao meant by his words. He thought Huo Jinyao was mocking him.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I will say it one more time: Su Qingsang is my daughter. Certainly, I hope she will be all right.”
“Really?” With a sharp stare, Huo Jinyao said, “You hope she will do all right, but you also hope she never does too well. You wish to see her doing no better than Su Peizhen. Am I right, dad?”
“Huo Jinyao,” Su Chenghui was angry at his words and his attitude, “what are you talking about? Do you think that just because your Tianyu Group helped Li Corporation make some money and do some projects, you have the right to stand there and judge me?”
“I didn’t do that,” Huo Jinyao threw up his hands with an innocent smile on his face. “Dad, it really broke my heart to hear you say that.”
He played a trick on Su Chenghui, the trick that he had always used to deal with liars. He had a seemingly sly look, but his eyes were innocent.
“You…” Listening to Huo Jinyao’s nonsense, Su Chenghui felt more and more annoyed and confused. “If you don’t have anything else to say, please leave. I have other things to do than keep you company.”
“Dad, hang on, I haven’t finished yet.” Huo Jinyao’s words, as well as his smile, made Su Chenghui very uncomfortable.
“I think that the reason why you feel happy is that if Su Qingsang left, no one would ever appear before you from time to time to remind you of unpleasant situations, and no one would ever upset you because Su Peizhen wouldn’t be overshadowed afterward. The most important thing is…”
Peering at Su Chenghui’s face, Huo Jinyao enunciated each word with deliberation.
“If Su Qingsang is gone, then the fact that she is not Xiang Caiping’s daughter will be a secret. Nobody will ever know the truth.”
Su Chenghui had heard the news the previous day, so he didn’t want to listen to it again.
However, Huo Jinyao’s next words caught Su Chenghui off guard: “The truth, which is that she is the biological daughter of Li Qianxue, will never be revealed. Am I right?”
Su Chenghui rose to his feet. He stared at Huo Jinyao as if he was looking at a monster.
“You… are you out of your mind?”
He said such things in front of him. If he was not crazy, then what?
“What a coincidence.” There was a slight smile on Huo Jinyao’s face. “When I told Su Qingsang of my speculation a few days ago, she said exactly the same thing.”
Su Chenghui didn’t catch the speculation part. He only heard from Huo Jinyao that Su Qingsang knew the truth.
“Huo Jinyao!” Su Chenghui’s chest was heaving, and he barely held back his astonishment. How could he let Su Qingsang know it? Absolutely not!
Regarding this matter, he knew clearly what the result would be if he confessed. He would never admit it.
“What exactly do you want to do? Who told you Su Qingsang is Li Qianxue’s daughter? Who?”
“Dad, just give me the straight dope. Yes, or no, you know the truth.”
“Huo Jinyao, I have no idea. I don’t know what you are trying to say. Anyway, just get the hell out of here. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense.”
“Nonsense? All right, let’s clear this up,” Huo Jinyao said.
“You just asked me who told me the news. Alright, just let me tell you right now who told me.”
While Huo Jinyao was talking, he took from his pocket the two DNA test reports.
