To My Dear Mr. Huo

The atmosphere was so awkward that Su Qingsang couldn't help but kick Huo Jinyao under the table, turned around and looked at Liu Tongjia, her voice was much gentler than Huo Jinyao's.

"Auntie, please ignore him. My skills are indeed average. Just make do with it today."

She naturally understood how good Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang were at their craftsmanship, and there was really no way she could compare with them.

Liu Tongjia looked at Su Qingsang and seemed to suddenly understand why her son liked her.

She picked up the bowl and ate the rice in the bowl, her eyes feeling a little astringent for no reason.

The moment she lowered her head to eat, Su Qingsang glared at Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao remained expressionless. He finished his meal as quickly as possible and stood up.

"I'm full. Eat slowly. There's no need to wash the bowl. Leave it there for Aunt Yu to clean up tomorrow."

"I know, you go sit in the living room for a while. I will have a gift for you later."

"Really?" Huo Jinyao finally had a smile on his face; "I thought my birthday gift was this table of dishes."

"This is one of the gifts." Su Qingsang said with a faint smile on his face, "Don't you like it?"

"I like it very much." Huo Jinyao leaned over and kissed Su Qingsang on the face as he spoke: "I like my wife's craftsmanship no matter what."

He will say nice things to coax her. Su Qingsang glared at him. When he turned around, he found that Liu Tongjia had been looking at them, and his face suddenly turned red.

Huo Jinyao also noticed Liu Tongjia's gaze, but to him, it seemed like he didn't see it.

After Huo Jinyao left, Liu Tongjia couldn't eat anymore. She was still holding the bowl in her hand, and she was sitting there, but her whole body was very stiff.

The way Su Qingsang looked at her, she couldn't bear it for some reason.

Huo Jinyao didn't say anything just now, but his attitude said everything. He may have thought that Liu Tongjia was here to intercede for Huo Yifan.

But Su Qingsang instinctively believed that this was not the case. Regardless of the reason why Liu Tongjia decided to change her attitude towards Huo Jinyao, Su Qingsang was happy to see it happen.

After dinner, Su Qingsang asked Liu Tongjia to go out and sit for a while while she cleaned up the bowls.

Liu Tongjia originally wanted to say that she was here to help, but she had never done such things before, so she could only stand there and watch Su Qingsang put away the dishes and chopsticks.

"Auntie, please go out and rest quickly."

Huo Jinyao is also outside. If Liu Tongjia really comes to improve the relationship with him, now is a good time to talk.

Liu Tongjia probably knew what she meant, so she got up and walked outside.

In the living room, Huo Jinyao was playing games on Su Qingsang's mobile phone. Xiaoxiaole upgraded version. When Su Qingsang has nothing to do, he will play two games to relax.

This game was particularly difficult, and she couldn't pass it for a long time. It's been stuck there for several days. Huo Jinyao was in a good mood today and helped her pass the test.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liu Tongjia coming out, but he didn't say anything and just started the next round.

Liu Tongjia couldn't sit still anymore. She looked at Huo Jinyao and couldn't believe that she was sitting here while he was playing games.

This is really very disrespectful.

"Jin Yao." Where did his etiquette training go? Who allowed him to do this in front of his elders?

"If you want me to stop prosecuting Huo Yifan, you don't need to say anything."

Huo Jinyao didn't even raise his head or even look at Liu Tongjia.

Liu Tongjia was sitting on pins and needles. She looked at Huo Jinyao and was hurt by his words again.

She suddenly understood Huo Jinyao's previous mood. It turns out that every time she targets Huo Jinyao, is this how he feels?

There was another moment of silence, and Huo Jinyao passed two levels in succession. Finding that Liu Tongjia was still there, he put his phone aside.

"Did Grandpa ask you to come, or did Dad ask you to come? Or did your uncle and aunt ask you to come?"

"Huo Jinyao." What is his attitude? Liu Tongjia could hardly help but want to question him.

"I'm sorry for you. For the sake of my nephew, I finally remembered that it's your son's birthday."

Liu Tongjia suddenly became discouraged. She moved her lips, trying to explain that she didn't remember his birthday because of Huo Yifan. She wanted to explain that she really wanted to celebrate his birthday this time, but looking at Huo Jinyao's sarcastic expression, She suddenly couldn't speak.

"If you're fine, go back. There's no way I can change my mind."

Today is his birthday, and he just wants to be with someone he likes, who likes him, and who is willing to sincerely celebrate his birthday. As for people like Liu Tongjia who have ulterior motives, forget it.

Liu Tongjia sat still, she suddenly fell into huge self-doubt.

I'm afraid her relationship with Huo Jinyao will never be repaired, right? Her more than ten years of indifference and indifference finally created an irreparable gap between Huo Jinyao and her.

Liu Tongjia sat motionless, Huo Jinyao just thought she was determined not to give up. Although I no longer care. But it was somewhat uncomfortable.

In the eyes of Liu Tongjia and Huo Mingguang, his son was not as good as Huo Yifan's nephews. Not even as good as Wei Sihai and Wei Simeng from my aunt’s house, right?

He had obviously seen through it, but Huo Jinyao didn't want to tolerate such a biased attitude anymore.

He was about to get up and go see Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang had already packed up the kitchen and came out. She was still carrying the cake Liu Tongjia bought just now.

Almost as soon as she came out, she felt that something was not right in the living room. She glanced at Huo Jinyao, but Huo Jinyao didn't respond to her.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Wait a minute. I haven't eaten the cake yet."

"I just ate and couldn't eat anymore."

Huo Jinyao was quite rude, and Su Qingsang actually couldn't eat it. But this cake was brought by Liu Tongjia, and it was her heart after all.

"Then let's eat later, let's sit down for a while?"

Huo Jinyao did not sit down as she wanted: "I'm going to take a shower."

"Huo Jinyao?" Su Qingsang saw that he actually walked to the room without caring. He quickly put the cake down, smiled awkwardly at Liu Tongjia, and quickly chased after Huo Jinyao.

"Huo Jinyao." Su Qingsang entered the room and stood in front of Huo Jinyao: "What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" Huo Jinyao asked.

"Your mother is here to celebrate your birthday."

"Really? Why don't I think so."

"I think."

"She has a purpose, can't you see?"

"I didn't see it." It wasn't like she hadn't seen Liu Tongjia's expression at the dinner table just now. There really is another purpose, and it won't be like that.

"That's your illusion." Huo Jinyao didn't want to quarrel with Su Qingsang because of other people: "Stop. Don't you dislike her? What are you doing now? Are you talking to her?"

"I'm not speaking for her. I think she might really be here to celebrate your birthday."

"Then what?" Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows with a look of disapproval: "Even if she really came to celebrate my birthday. So what?"

His appearance made Su Qingsang feel unable to communicate.

"I didn't think anything of it. I just think you obviously want to restore the relationship with your parents, so don't be tit-for-tat every time. Why can't you give her and yourself a chance?"

No matter how much Huo Jinyao said he didn't care, she would never forget it. That time he murmured the words "Mom" when he was ill.

She believed that in his heart he wanted to improve his relationship with Liu Tongjia. If that was the case, why not try to trust Liu Tongjia first?

Huo Jinyao took a step back because of Su Qingsang's words. He looked at Su Qingsang with half-squinted eyes.

"Qingsang, let me tell you. I am not you. You can forgive Su Chenghui, but if you don't express it, I will forgive my mother."

"..." Su Qingsang was speechless. In fact, the last time Su Chenghui went to the Li family and accused her so blindly, she still can't let it go.

Do unto others, do not impose on others. She really was not qualified to ask Huo Jinyao to forgive Liu Tongjia.

"I gave her a chance. More than once."

Because of the guilt and self-blame in his heart, he gave in again and again for so many years. No matter which matter it is.

But his concession did not wake up Liu Tongjia. She is still thinking about Huo Yifan.

She didn't really want to celebrate his birthday. In that case, why bother pretending?

It didn't matter to him how Liu Tongjia treated him. But Liu Tongjia should not deal with Su Qingsang, this is something he cannot tolerate.

Because of this, he now has deep resentment towards Liu Tongjia and has no intention of improving his relationship with Liu Tongjia.

"I went to take a shower."

Su Qingsang stood there, watching Huo Jinyao enter the bathroom, her lips moved, and finally walked out helplessly.

Liu Tongjia was still sitting there, looking a little dazed and out of state. It seems like he is wandering in a fugue.

Su Qingsang felt a bit unbearable for no reason. If Liu Tongjia really came here for Huo Yifan, how could she have such an expression?

But Huo Jinyao wouldn't believe it.

"Auntie?" She sat down opposite Liu Tongjia: "Jin Yao has gone to take a bath. After he finishes taking a bath, let's eat cake again."

Liu Tongjia finally came to her senses. She glanced at Su Qingsang and shook her head gently.

"Forget it. I'm going back first."

"Auntie?" Su Qingsang cleared her throat: "Aren't you waiting for Jin Yao? He takes a shower very quickly."

"No need." Liu Tongjia is not a person without eyes. Huo Jinyao doesn't want to see her. If she stays, Huo Jinyao won't give her a good look.

"Aunt?"

This is really the first time Su Qingsang has seen Liu Tongjia like this. She used to be elegant and noble, even a little arrogant.

Liu Tongjia didn't speak again. She glanced at Su Qingsang and finally left. Before leaving, her eyes fell on the cake, and she was distracted for a moment.

Speaking of which, she had not celebrated birthdays with Huo Jinyao for more than ten years, nor had she eaten cake together.

After Liu Tongjia left, Su Qingsang felt a little confused for no reason.

In fact, what Liu Tongjia did was really annoying, but now seeing him like this, Su Qingsang couldn't be happy.

Probably because the contrast before was too great, she felt that Liu Tongjia like this made people feel distressed.

When he returned to the room, Huo Jinyao had already taken a shower and came out.

"Auntie is gone."

"Yes." Huo Jinyao didn't care. Su Qingsang stood behind him and looked at his dripping hair.

"Huo Jinyao. I can see that Auntie really wants to celebrate your birthday with you."

"Really?" Huo Jinyao picked up a towel and wiped his hair casually: "So what?"

He had given up on Liu Tongjia and had no hope. If she really came to celebrate his birthday, how could she leave so easily?

To put it bluntly, Su Qingsang was still too naive and too easy to trust people.

"you……"

"I would feel happier on my birthday today if you didn't mention her."

Su Qingsang was silent, watching Huo Jinyao dry his hair, then walked to stand in front of her.

"Okay, dear wife. Now I'm going to enjoy my birthday present."

"Sir, birthday gift?"

"You don't think you can satisfy me just by cooking me a table of dishes, do you?"

"if not?"

"Of course you packed it up for me too."

While Huo Jinyao was speaking, he picked up Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang instinctively hugged his neck: "Wait a moment. I have a gift for you."

"Be polite, don't be hasty, I want to eat you even more now."

Su Qingsang's body was placed on the bed by Huo Jinyao. She suddenly blocked his lips when he was about to kiss her.

"Wife."

Today is his birthday, doesn't she want to satisfy him?

"I seem to have just left." He came back to Lin City, so he should know something about it.

Well Well? Then what?

"That means I'm not pregnant."

"Isn't it just right?"

"Give me another chance." Su Qingsang hugged his neck: "Can you do it again?"

Huo Jinyao stopped for a moment, his expression was half helpless and half confused.

"You really want a child?"

"yes."

"You are an obstetrician and gynecologist, you should know that pregnancy is hard."

"right."

"You should also know that giving birth can be very painful. It is said to be a pain level ten."

"I know."

“Whether it’s a cesarean section or a vaginal birth, it’s the woman who suffers.”

"That's right."

"Even so, you still want a child?"

"Yes." Su Qingsang hugged his neck and looked attentively: "I just want a child. Will you give it to me?"

Huo Jinyao supported his body with one hand, feeling helpless seeing Su Qingsang being so stubborn.

"It's my birthday and I'd love to try again."

"Okay." Su Qingsang is confident that if there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. Sooner or later, she would make Huo Jinyao completely relent and agree to have a child.

…………

The next day was the day of trial.

When Huo Jinyao got up, Su Qingsang was still sleeping. She was exhausted yesterday.

She also worked very hard to get pregnant. Huo Jinyao looked at her sleeping face and smiled a little.

He leaned over and kissed Su Qingsang on the forehead. Su Qingsang slept deeply and was not affected by him at all.

Huo Jinyao stood up and took care of himself as quickly as possible. Looking at myself in a straight suit in the mirror, the corners of my lips curled up.

Huo Yifan and Su Peizhen, neither of them can escape this time.

When leaving, Huo Jinyao saw the cake still on the coffee table. His steps paused.

He was about to leave directly, but he opened the cake box again.

A very beautiful cake with a little house on it. There is a small card stuck on the house. It says happy birthday.

Huo Jinyao stared at those four words for a long time. He rubbed his forehead, finally covered the cake back, took it out when he went out, and threw it into the trash can in the corridor.

It's not a sincere blessing, so don't worry.

When Huo Jinyao rushed to the court, almost everyone in the Huo family was here. Mr. Huo, Huo Mingguang, Liu Tongjia, Huo Mingliang, Chunya, and Huo Mingmei, Wei Nantian, and their respective children have all arrived.

Huo Jinyao was the last one to arrive. Behind him were Yang Wenchang and Zhang Yang.

When they saw him coming in, the other members of the Huo family didn't look very good. Especially Huo Mingliang and Nian Chunya looked at Huo Jinyao with eyes as sharp as knives.

Huo Jinyao didn't care at all. He did it on purpose.

The trial is not public. All those who can come to observe are people related to the case. Not long after Huo Jinyao sat down, Xiang Caiping also came.

Seeing Xiang Caiping, Huo Jinyao rarely calmed down. He nodded slightly to her as a greeting.

Xiang Caiping looked at her, her lips moved, but she didn't say anything, and sat down in the back.

Huo Jinyao just glanced in that direction and quickly looked away.

The trial began soon. When Huo Yifan was brought out, his face was very ugly and he looked extremely haggard.

A darling like him, who has always been aloof, would naturally not be able to bear the thought of being thrown into jail one day.

Just as haggard and as ugly as him was Su Peizhen.

Ever since Su Peizhen was a child, had he ever been so angry? There were faint dark shadows under her eyes, and her whole person had a gloomy look, which was not at all as arrogant and domineering as when she first met her.

Xiang Caiping looked at Su Peizhen and felt as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.

After all, it was the flesh that fell from his body. No matter how wrong or unreasonable Su Peizhen had done before, it was still his child.

She subconsciously looked in the direction of Huo Jinyao, but found that he didn't pay attention to her at all, and Xiang Caiping's face suddenly darkened again.

The trial continued, with the plaintiff's lawyer filing the complaint first, and then the defendant's lawyer.

In order to protect Huo Yifan from guilt, the Huo family found him a lawyer who was also quite famous in the industry.

Lawyers on both sides came and went, each presenting evidence. The atmosphere was very intense.

Everyone was nervous, except Huo Jinyao who was calm. He didn't want to come originally, but he just wanted to witness Huo Yifan's final downfall.

An hour and a half later, after a round of rest, the judge finally announced the final result.

"Huo Yifan was found guilty of stealing trade secrets and sentenced to a fine of five million. He was sentenced to six years and six months in prison."

"Su Peizhen was found guilty of stealing trade secrets and sentenced to a fine of three million. He was sentenced to five years in prison."

"I'm not convinced and I want to appeal."

"I'm going to appeal, I'm going to appeal."

Huo Yifan shouted, but his shout was immediately stopped by the court police.

In desperation, when he was about to be escorted away, he stared in the direction of Huo Jinyao: "Huo Jinyao, I will appeal to the end. You wait for me, you wait for me."

Huo Jinyao had already stood up and was about to leave, but because of Huo Yifan's words, he stopped and looked at him.

"As long as you are happy. Cousin, behave well. I'm waiting for you to come out soon."

"Huo Jinyao, you bastard. You set me up. You designed all this. You bastard."

To Huo Yifan, being jailed for six and a half years was more uncomfortable than killing him. He completely lost his usual demeanor and started yelling.

Huo Jinyao ignored it. When he went out, he couldn't hear Huo Yifan's scream at all.

"Mr. Huo?" Yang Wenchang approached him before he got in the car, and his voice was very soft: "When I saw Mr. Huo just now, he seemed to have a very bad face. Do you think that's true?"

Huo Jinyao also saw it. When Mr. Huo heard the verdict, he covered his heart and looked like he was about to collapse.

He closed his eyes and said, "Grandpa is still angry and doesn't want to see me. With dad and the others here, nothing will happen to grandpa. Let's go back to the company first."

Things like Huo Yifan actually had a certain impact on Tianyu Group.

Even though today's verdict is not public, Huo Yifan was too high-profile before, and the research on the new plan was widely known.

Now I'm afraid that many people are waiting to see Tianyu's joke. And Huo Jinyao would never give those people such an opportunity.

After getting in the car, he was about to let Yang Wenchang drive, but the car door was suddenly opened. Xiang Caiping stood next to the car door, looking at Huo Jinyao, his eyes full of tangles, and his expression was very complicated.

"Jin Yao?"

"Aunt."

Xiang Caiping looked at him with an expression as if nothing was wrong, and she couldn't say those words. But I thought of my daughter who was sentenced to five years. She had to speak again.

"Jin Yao. I know that Peizhen did something wrong. But she is still young. If she offends you in any way, tell me and I will teach her a lesson. I also know that she has caused losses to your company. You see Is this okay? I will compensate you for how much your company has lost, okay?"

Although she doesn't have much money now, she can sell all the supermarkets under her name.

In this way, she would have money to give to Huo Jinyao.

"Auntie, don't be like this. Su Peizhen is Su Peizhen, you are you. You don't have to bear anything for her actions."

"How is that possible? She is my daughter."

When Xiang Caiping said this, she really cried: "I gave birth to her and abandoned her. It's all my fault. She will become like this. If I had raised her by my side since she was a child, if I have taken good care of her and nurtured her since she was a child, and I believe she will not be like this."

She sniffed, feeling really sad and blaming herself: "Everything is my fault. I am willing to take responsibility for her, as long as you let her not go to jail. She is only twenty-six years old this year. After a few years in jail, Isn’t this man ruined?”

Huo Jinyao sat in the car and did not move. Xiang Caiping did not cry loudly, but this look was more unbearable than crying loudly.

"Jin Yao, is that okay? If you don't want to see her, I can take her abroad. I once had a little sister who is living abroad now. I can take Peizhen out and guarantee that she will never come back in this life. , and will never come to trouble you and Qingsang again, do you think this is good?"

One chapter, six thousand words. Wrote many books. But Xiang Caiping is a character that really makes me feel sad. Aye. Pitiful. Continue tomorrow.
