Chapter 588: Anxious, Aren’t You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Only the father and daughter were left in the guest room, but the vibe was quite tense.

Su Peizhen didn’t seem to feel the suffocating tension. She was completely indifferent to the anxious look on Su Chenghui’s face.

“Dad, look at you. Anxious, aren’t you? Don’t be anxious. I just said that Su Qingsang’s man is very powerful. Even if I want to do something now, I can’t do it, can I?”

She smiled sweetly, then patted Su Chenghui’s shoulder. “Don’t be nervous, don’t be nervous. It’s a big matter for me. It has nothing to do with her. As for what her life will be like in the future, I can’t guarantee anything. After all, I really do hate her. I can’t help it. Who asked her to be born into someone I would hate?”

“Peizhen.” Su Chenghui’s tone became colder and harsher. He pushed Su Peizhen’s hand away. “Qingsang is your sister, your biological sister.”

“Yes, but I’m also your daughter, your biological daughter.”

Even after Su Peizhen’s hand was pushed away by Su Chenghui, she wasn’t angry. She spread her hands out and suddenly smiled again.

“Dad, just watch. Even if there’s no Su family backing me, I, Su Peizhen, can still live a happy and fulfilling life.”

Su Chenghui clenched his fists and watched Su Peizhen leave in front of his eyes.

He raised his hand to stop her, but then put it down dejectedly.

Yes, everything was his fault. Everything was his fault. But why should he repay his daughter?

He regretted it. He really regretted it.

Li Qianxue’s figure that he saw just now flashed through his mind. Su Chenghui’s body trembled. He quickly got up and went to the banquet hall.

When Su Peizhen came out of the room, the smile on her face disappeared completely.

Her face was cold, and her back was straight. Her brows were tightly knitted together, and her entire person gave off a sense of unapproachable coldness that kept others a thousand miles away.

“Tsk, what’s going on?”

A voice with a hint of teasing and playfulness suddenly sounded.

Huo Yifan’s face appeared in front of her. She looked at him coldly and didn’t intend to answer his words.

Huo Yifan’s hand grabbed her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy after chatting with my future father-in-law? Why are you giving me the cold shoulder?”

Su Peizhen glanced at him and slapped the back of his hand hard.

“Huo Yifan, I haven’t decided on marrying you yet. You don’t have to act like I’m definitely going to marry you.”

“Tsk, I feel really sad when you say that.”

Huo Yifan grabbed the hand that was about to slap him again and kissed it with his lips. “I think I’ve already shown my utmost sincerity today. Why? Are you still not satisfied?”

Su Peizhen eyed him coldly and snorted. “When you help me push Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao into the mud, I will be satisfied.”

“Tsk. You’re so ruthless.” Huo Yifan clicked his tongue, but in the end, he laughed evilly. “But I like how ruthless you are. Let’s go. Let others do the good deeds. Let us be the bad guys.”

The corners of Su Peizhen’s lips curled up, and she hooked her arm around Huo Yifan’s.

That’s right. Whoever wanted to be the good guy, let them be it. Right now, she only wanted to be the bad guy.

She would never forgive Su Qingsang, Li Qianxue, and Su Chenghui.

She looked up at Huo Yifan, and her eyes were dark. “By the way, you helped me cause such a fuss today. I have to repay you no matter what, right?”

“What do you want to do now?” Feeling that the scheming look on her face suited his tastes very much, Huo Yifan looked at Su Peizhen.

“Nothing, I was just thinking that I should at least let my dear sister cause a big fuss as well. After all, she is the eldest young madam of the Huo family, and the wife of Tianyu Group’s president. Don’t you think so?”

Huo Yifan narrowed his eyes. He instantly understood what Su Peizhen meant. The corners of his lips curled into a meaningful smile.

“That’s right.”

..

The banquet was about to begin in accordance with the protocol of previous years. As the president of Tianyu Group, Huo Jinyao had to go on stage every year to give a speech.

This year was no exception. A few elders of the Huo family stood not that far away from him. In front of him were Su Qingsang, his childhood friends, Wan Xianyang, Xu Changlong, Tang Mohan, and Cheng Xianyun.

Tang Manlu and Li Wanyu also came. However, Tang Manlu felt a little awkward when she saw Su Qingsang, while Li Wanyu didn’t.

She held Su Qingsang’s arm and chatted intimately. Su Qingsang was chatting with Li Wanyu, but she was a little absent-minded.

Su Peizhen and Su Chenghui had disappeared for a long time, and they still hadn’t appeared yet.

She wasn’t worried about what Su Peizhen would do to her at such a banquet, but she didn’t like the feeling of being stared at.

On the other side of the Huo family stood Li Qianxue. No matter how much Li Qianxue disliked Liu Tongjia, she still had to give face to the Huo family on such an occasion.

It was the same for Liu Tongjia. The two of them stood together but didn’t say much to each other. The atmosphere was even a little awkward.

However, the two of them weren’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, they exchanged a few words from time to time.

Li Qianxue was also looking in the direction of the entrance of the banquet. From the moment she found out that Su Peizhen insisted on being with Huo Yifan, she knew that this adopted daughter of hers wouldn’t keep a low profile.

She was ambitious and driven. She was indeed worried that Su Peizhen would do something.

The worry in her heart made her involuntarily glance in Su Qingsang’s direction frequently. At this moment, Huo Jinyao also walked towards Su Qingsang.

His eyes still unable to hide his astonishment, he stood in front of her.

Today, Su Qingsang looked like a person who had walked out of a holy painting. Her light muslin dress accentuated her elegance.

Her skin was soft and supple. There was no need for heavy makeup. Just some light touches were enough to make her look outstanding.

“Wife,” Huo Jinyao called out to her in a low voice. There was a hint of seductiveness in his voice. “Come up with me to give a speech later.”

“Me?” Su Qingsang froze. “Go up with you?”

“What’s wrong? You’re my wife. If you don’t go up with me, who else will?”

Huo Jinyao took her hand and smiled at Li Wanyu, who was standing beside her. He looked Su Qingsang up and down.

Su Qingsang was absolutely stunning today.

“My wife is so beautiful, so I have to introduce you to them, right?”

Su Qingsang pursed her lips into a straight line. When she met Huo Jinyao’s gaze, she nodded lightly.

Huo Jinyao smiled. He took her hand and asked her to stand beside him.

“Don’t be nervous. Those who came today have more or less a business relationship with the Huo family. Even if they didn’t, they have to give face to the Huo family.”

Apart from those in the business world, there were also some people in charge of relevant departments.

Those people also had special relationships with the Huo family. They would all give face to the Huo family. Who would dare to have any objections?

“I must say, sister-in-law, you should go up. Otherwise, brother Jin Yao won’t be able to show off at later.”

Li Wanyu was also very good at teasing people. Su Qingsang’s face blushed a little. In the end, she didn’t object.

She turned around and saw Li Qianxue looking in her direction. She smiled at Li Qianxue to make her feel at ease. Then, she held Huo Jinyao’s hand and they went on stage together.

Every year, the president of Tianyu Group would give a speech at the anniversary celebration. In the past, Huo Jinyao didn’t like such occasions. Whenever he had to give a speech, he would always let Huo Mingguang go on stage.

Speaking of which, this was also his first year speaking at the anniversary celebration.

All of this was because of Su Qingsang. He wanted to let everyone in Rong City know that Su Qingsang was his wife, the wife of Tianyu Group’s president.

The master of ceremonies read the opening remarks on stage, and Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang’s hand.

He was looking at her, and Su Qingsang was looking at him. Huo Jinyao also appeared very handsome today.

Their eyes filled with subtle affection, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. From afar, Su Peizhen also saw this scene. She sneered and picked up the wine glass in front of her, then glanced at Huo Yifan.

“Have you prepared everything?”

“Of course.” Huo Yifan raised the glass beside him and said, “You’re my queen now. Your words are like an imperial edict to me.”

Su Peizhen didn’t care about what he said. She gave him a icy look and turned to look at Huo Jinyao, who was holding Su Qingsang’s hand as they went up the stage.

Huo Jinyao stood still on the stage. Su Qingsang gazed at him with a gentle look in her eyes.

There was no need for him to do anything. Him simply standing there made him appear like a radiant object.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Huo Jinyao.”

“Thank you all for taking the time to attend the Tianyu Group’s grand event. It has been nearly 50 years since Tianyu Group was established. From my grandfather, Huo Yangping, all the way to me, we worked hard to turn Tianyu Group into an international organization...”

After Huo Jinyao finished his sentence, he suddenly changed the topic. “Before I went on stage, my assistant asked me why I suddenly want to go on stage this year when I never gave any speeches in the past.”

“I said that it’s because I have something very important to tell everyone today. Please allow me to introduce the lady next to me. She is my wife, Su Qingsang.”

His eyes full of encouragement, Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang with a smile as he spoke. She smiled at him and stood in front of the microphone.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao’s wife. It’s a pleasure to meet you all. I hope that in the future, everyone will continue to support Tianyu Group and Huo Jinyao. Thank you.”

The applause from the audience continued. The two of them were a dazzling golden couple.

After the speech ended, Su Qingsang followed Huo Jinyao off the stage. Wherever the two of them went, many people greeted them and wanted to get to meet them.

Su Qingsang actually didn’t like such occasions, but she was willing to endure it for Huo Jinyao.

After Huo Jinyao’s speech was Huo Mingguang speech. After these speeches, there would be a performance. This was a program that was arranged every year.

This year was no exception. After a popular national entertainment group went on stage and sang an opening song, the entire atmosphere began to become lively.

After the two songs ended, what was supposed to be a magic show followed. At this time, Tianyu Group’s Gala was very lively.

That magician was also very famous in the industry. He kept changing his tricks on stage. The audience knew that it was fake, but their eyes were still dazzled.

Huo Jinyao had heard Yang Wenchang mention that at the end of the magic trick, a car would magically appear. That car would be the special award for the most outstanding employee this year.

However, unexpectedly, a car didn’t magically appear in the end. Instead, there was a white piano.

Not only him, but Su Qingsang also saw it.

After what happened just now, the atmosphere was very lively. The magician stepped forward and bowed.

“Now, let’s perform a special program for everyone.”

After saying the words ‘special program’, the rope that was originally prepared for the magic trick was now transformed into a swing and slowly fell from the ceiling.

Su Peizhen sat on it and descended bit by bit. She looked at Su Qingsang from afar, and a bright smile appeared at the corner of her eyes.

When the swing lowered to the ground, she slowly walked down. She stood in front of the piano and bowed. She then sat down in front of the piano.

She looked beautiful dressed in a red gown. She sat in front of the black and white piano keys, then raised her hands.

The melodious sound of the piano echoed in every corner of the banquet hall. She was playing the Symphony No. 5 “Fate”.

Symphony No. 5 “Fate” was one of Beethoven’s most famous pieces. The first part of his piece was impassioned. A person who hadn’t practiced the piano to a certain level wouldn’t be able to perform with that kind of feeling.

However, Su Peizhen performed it well. Dressed in red, she used extremely skilled fingering and was completely immersed in the performance. She played this piece to its fullest.

All the guests present were awed, even the Huo family’s members, including Old Master Huo.

Li Qianxue stood in the distance and gazed at Su Peizhen. She wasn’t like the other guests, who were immersed in Su Peizhen’s music.

She only had the feeling that Su Peizhen would definitely make a big move next.

She instinctively looked in Su Qingsang’s direction. Su Qingsang was also on the stands. Not only her, but also Huo Jinyao.

Su Chenghui also looked at the stage. Everyone’s gaze fell on that spot. Just like Li Qianxue, he wasn’t in the mood to appreciate Su Peizhen’s music.

He had heard enough of it in the past 20 years.

The Su family had a dedicated piano room that belonged to Su Peizhen. She was carefully nurtured by him and Li Qianxue.

They had given Su Peizhen the best education and the best resources. On this point, they really owed Su Qingsang.

Huo Jinyao also had such thoughts. He narrowed his eyes. After the music ended, he saw Su Peizhen finish the music with an extremely handsome gesture. Finally, she stood up amidst the applause.

The applause below the stage was thunderous. Su Peizhen bowed to the audience. There was a faint smile on her lips.

“Thank you, thank you, everyone.”

“Fate is very magical. I give this song to all of you, and at the same time, I will also give it to my dear sister, Su Qingsang.”

“That’s right. I’m the sister of Su Qingsang, and also president Huo’s sister-in-law. My name is Su Peizhen.”

“Here, I wish my sister the best.”

As she spoke, she reached her hand out in Su Qingsang’s direction, and the lights in the banquet hall shone on Su Qingsang.

“Congratulations on her marriage to Mr. Huo Jinyao, and on becoming the wife of Tianyu Group’s president.”

“Now, I sincerely invite my sister to play a song with me, to play piano four hands with me to wish Tianyu Group the best.”
