Finally, she calmed down. There was no anger on her face now, only coldness. “Now that you’ve come back, we need to put the marriage of you and Ruoli on the agenda quickly. I’ve chosen a good date for you. The 30th of next month is a good day and the Xu Family has also agreed to it. The wedding company will prepare, so all you have to do is show up.”
“Mom.” Huo Jinyao remained in the same upright sitting position. He turned only his head toward Liu Tongjia. “I forgot to tell you, I am already married,” he said.
Liu Tongjia’s expression changed again. She glared at Huo Jinyao while trying to hold back her rage.
“If you are talking about the illegitimate daughter of unknown origin from Lin City, forget it. I deny it. I will only recognize Rouli as my daughter-in-law.”
“Mom, you seem to be mistaken about something. Qingsang and I have already registered our marriage; we are a lawful couple. If you want me to marry Xu Ruoli, you are asking me to commit bigamy, aren’t you?”
“You can still get divorced.” Liu Tongjia sounded very decisive. “She is an ignorant woman, so all she wants is nmoney. Just send her away with money.”
Huo Jinyao’s face changed. He wanted to speak, but Liu Tongjia didn’t give him a chance to.
“I’ll give you half a month to break up with that woman. Whatever she wants, the Huo Family will give her. After half a month, you will return to Rong City and prepare for your wedding with Ruoli,” She said decisively. Huo Yangping and Huo Mingguang only acted as her audience.
Huo Jinyao nodded and looked at Liu Tongjia with a light smile. “What if I say no?”
“Huo Jinyao, are you deliberately opposing me?”
“How could I deliberately oppose you?” Huo Jinyao shrugged. “It’s just that I’m married and I don’t want to get a divorce. I’m not really opposing you.”
“Huo Jinyao, please understand one thing: everything you have now is from the Huo Family.” Liu Tongjia stood up. “If you don’t break up with that woman, tdon’t blame me if you are not shown any mercy.”
Huo Jinyao’s face changed. He put aside his cynical att.i.tude and stood up to look at Liu Tongjia face-to-face.
“Then what do you want to do to me, Mom?”
“What do you think?” Liu Tongjia sneered. “You disobeyed your elders and married without parental consent. What do you think I can do with an unfilial son like you?”
“Whatever you do, I will not divorce Qingsang, let alone marry Xu Ruoli. If you want to unite the two families through marriage, Huo Yifan or Huo Yiyang can stand in for me. There’s even Wei Sihai or my other cousins. I don’t understand why it has to be me?”
“Do you think I wanted to choose you? If it were not for, not for—”
Liu Tongjia suddenly stopped for a moment, trying to restrain her emotions.
Huo Yangping’s and Huo Mingguang’s expressions were somber. Apparently, they knew what Liu Tongjia was going to say next.
Huo Jinyao did as well. Still, he did not shy away from her and stood as solid as a pine tree..
“If it were not for—” Liu Tongjia held herself up by using the table as support. The words were about to come out from her when Huo Jinyao’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
It was Su Qingsang.
All the emotions on Huo Jinyao’s face disappeared. He picked up his phone and walked out of the dining room to answer it.
“h.e.l.lo.”
Su Qingsang’s voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded a bit tired.
“What’s the matter?”
