It was obvious that he was just putting on a show…
Qin Chu took his time and answered slowly, “It’s okay, Mr. Huo, I can take care of my own wife and mother-in-law. I will treat them well, so you don’t have to worry at all.”
“I…” Qin Chu’s words stuffed a sock in Huo Zhenghai’s mouth.
Now that’s what they call the ‘cold-shoulder treatment’…
“Did you hear what he said? We’re not interested in your stupid money… Don’t act all high and mighty just because you have money, let me tell you, it won’t work now… Back then I dated you partly because you were rich. But after all these years, I’ve come to a realization – all the money in the world won’t give you happiness. You still won’t be able to live until you’re 200 years old. Being content with what you have is true happiness.”
Yang Meirong stood on her daughter’s side as well…
Upon seeing how stubborn this family was, he had no choice but to leave.
“Mom… the Huo Family is in chaos right now, I don’t know what he’s planning to do, but don’t ever let him in the house again, okay?”
“I know, I only let him in because he told me he had something important to talk to me about. If I had known that he was going to say all that, I would’ve chased him out a long time ago. You obviously can’t make a crab walk straight, I can’t believe he used to tell me that your Uncle Jing was the cunning one.”
“Did he talk to you about Uncle Jing?” Huo Mian immediately asked her mother upon hearing what she said.
“Yeah… he often defamed your Uncle Jing in front of me; he said that he was cunning, and I would never see him for who he actually was… Huo Zhenghai said that I was stupid and that Jing De was someone who would kidnap me and then dupe me into paying for my own ransom.”
“Oh…”
“Why?” Curious, Yang Meirong asked.
“Nothing, I was just wondering.” Huo Mian smiled and stopped asking.
On their way back, Qin Chu held Huo Mian’s hand as he asked with a smile, “You seem to be really mysterious lately.”
“No, I haven’t.”
“I feel like you’re hiding something from me.”
“Why would I?” Guilty, Huo Mian immediately denied it.
“Really?” Qin Chu was doubtful.
“I’m really not… Mr. Qin, I swear.”
“Anyways… if I find out, I’m going to teach you a good lesson.” Qin Chu smiled but didn’t say anything else.
Soon it was Su Yu’s birthday. A few days before his party, the media all began to report wildly about it.
People paid a lot of attention to the event because they thought Su Yu would hold a big birthday party at Imperial Star.
However, the company didn’t disclose anything…
Even when Jian Tong, Mian Mian, and the other female celebrities were interviewed, they all claimed that they didn’t know President Su’s plans.
Imperial Star’s employees also kept their mouths shut about their boss’s birthday party.
However, the more they did that, the more curious the media got…
Su Yu’s birthday party began at 6 PM that night at his private mansion.
His mansion was home to one of the biggest private aquariums; Wei Liao used to joke that going into Su Yu’s mansion was like going to an ocean park of some sort.
Tempered glass surrounded the place, and sea animals and tropical fish were everywhere to be seen.
It must be romantic to sleep in his mansion…
However sadly, no woman was ever lucky enough to stay over at his luxurious mansion.
He hated strangers who invaded his personal space…
Even when he favored Zhao Qingya, he never let her stay overnight…
The Su Family took Su Yu’s 28th birthday very seriously. At noon, Su Yu had lunch with his parents and grandfather.
Then, according to tradition, he went to the ancestral hall and kowtowed to his ancestors.
At night, he returned to his mansion, marking the beginning of the extravagant, young people’s party.
Renowned directors and celebrities from all over China arrived quietly in C City. Countless luxury cars parked outside Su Yu’s private mansion.
However, because of the tight security, reporters weren’t allowed in, so most of them stood outside anxiously.
Wei Liao came with Jiang Xiaowei.
Tang Chuan came with someone new – she was a staggering 178 cm-tall Russian-Chinese model, a newbie on the runway.
The theme of today’s party was red, so everyone came wearing red.
The atmosphere was as joyous as Chinese New Year…
Su Yu was wearing a dark-red shirt, with decorative stripes on his chest and shelves. He looked elegant and regal.
A black diamond hung on his left ear, shining brightly under the lights…
“Holy shit… guys, don’t you think Su Yu super handsome tonight?” Tang Chuan exclaimed to Wei Liao from afar.
