Chapter 254 - His Eyes
Qiu Yanbo watched Huo Jinyao’s movements and he calmly pulled his hand back, which had been hanging in the air. “You think so? I feel the same way.”
Su Qingsang became even more embarrassed. Qiu Yanbo’s abrupt flattery made her very uncomfortable.
She looked at the entrance and found that the Su Family had arrived.
Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue absolutely would have not come to this banquet if they had had a choice, but they did not.
Huo Jinyao had made his identity public and cooperated with Li’s company on a multi-billion-dollar investment project. Now, Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue could ignore Su Qingsang, but not Huo Jinyao.
Along with them came Su Peizhen. In contrast to Su Qingsang, who was dressed in white, she wore a very eye-catching red dress.
Her facial features were more delicate than Su Qingsang’s. With the red dress, she looked flamboyant and gorgeous. She caught people’s attention as soon as she appeared at the door. Everyone in the hall was looking at the Su Family and a lot of them still remembered the wedding, which had been shabby considering the Su Family’s class. Their attitude toward Su Qingsang was evident.
Now, everything was different. Su Qingsang had married Huo Jinyao, the young master of the Huo Family of Rong City. It was too late for the Su Family to regret their treatment of her.
Li Qianxue knitted her eyebrows as soon as she entered. She ignored the people’s gaze and went straight to Huo Jinyao.
“Good evening, Dad, Aunt.”
Compared with the coldness of the Su Family, Huo Jinyao’s attitude was quite friendly.
“What a coincidence, Mr. Qiu was only a few minutes ahead of you.”
He knew that Su Peizhen and Qiu Yanbo had broken off their engagement, but still spoke as if he did not.
Su Peizhen looked a little sour. She stood there motionless. Her eyes fell on Su Qingsang, on the necklace around her neck, to be exact.
That was a limited edition piece of jewelry that had just been released by Master Richie William last month. She had not yet booked it, yet Su Qingsang had been wearing it?
An illegitimate daughter being this flamboyant? You are not afraid of losing your blessing.
“Good evening, Uncle, Aunt.” Compared with the Su Family, Qiu Yanbo’s attitude was much more cordial. “Peizhen, long time no see.”
“It’s been a long time, indeed.” Su Peizhen took back her eyes and opened her mouth expressionlessly. “It’s kind of you to still remember.”
Su Qingsang stepped back silently. She felt like the two of them might be about to fight.
Huo Jinyao squeezed her little hand as if he knew what she was thinking.
“Dad, Aunt, I have to take Qingsang to meet a few friends. Help yourselves.”
Huo Jinyao took Su Qingsang away just like that, leaving the Su family staring at each other. They couldn’t believe that he had been so rude to them.
Only Su Peizhen noticed that Qiu Yanbo’s eyes stayed on Su Qingsang for a while as she was walking away.
Was that unintentional or intentional?
Su Chenghui was sophisticated. Even though he did not like Qiu Yanbo because he had broken off the engagement with his daughter, he maintained his manner.
Su Peizhen watched Qiu Yanbo and did not see him looking at Su Qingsang much more after that.
She relaxed gradually and eventually started chatting with someone who came over to say hello.
When she turned around after a while, she found that Qiu Yanbo disappeared. After careful searching, she found that someone else had disappeared as well—Su Qingsang.
