Chapter 237: More Than Dislike
Saying he did not like him very much was putting it lightly. It was clear that he hated Huo Jinyao so much that he wanted to oppose him.
She recalled that it had seemed true of the entire Huo Family. She even had a vague feeling that the whole family, except Old Master Huo, did not like Huo Jinyao.
Why is that? He is the eldest son after all, isn’t he? Isn’t that weird?
Su Qingsang keenly sensed that something was wrong, but she could not understand what it was.
Huo Jinyao didn’t answer her. He just drove. Su Qingsang looked at him and wanted to say something, but finally decided that she did not want to ask.
To be disliked by others, especially by one’s relatives, was not a good feeling.
“What would you like for dinner?”
They were stuck at a red light and Huo Jinyao took a look at her. “Let’s go home and have dinner with Grandpa since you’ve been away for so long. Let’s not eat out all the time,” she said after thinking for a few seconds.
Huo Jinyao turned to her and took her by the hand. “Are you trying to help me be filial?”
“You don’t like my suggestion?”
“I like it. I like it very much.”
Huo Jinyao chuckled. Su Qingsang was a simple person who would be good to others if they treated her well. She did not like the Huo Family, but Old Master Huo was good to her, so she was thinking of him.
“Good. We’re going home.”
In fact, if Liu Tongjia were not at home, he would really enjoy the idea. He was just afraid that she wouldn’t want to see them, which would make everybody uncomfortable.
Huo Mingliang and Huo Mingmei usually did not eat at the Huo Mansion. Only Old Master Huo, Huo Mingguang, Liu Tongjia, Su Qingsang, and Huo Jinyao would be together when they got back home.
Old Master Huo was glad to see his grandson come back for dinner. He had thought he would not come back.
Su Qingsang was also glad to see his grandpa so happy. She sat down next to him, as Huo Jinyao did.
Huo Mingguang looked at the scene in front of him and was a little surprised. This daughter-in-law was sensible enough to know who needed to be pleased the most in the family.
Su Qingsang had been hungry since she had helped catch the thief in the afternoon.
With Huo Jinyao around, the meal was comfortable with the exception of Liu Tongjia’s glares from time to time.
Su Qingsang had become more indifferent to the glares. When people decided not to like you, there was no pleasing them, no matter what you did.
After dinner, they went to the living room. Old Master Huo asked a servant to take out the board for Go and played Go with Huo Jinyao, while Su Qingsang sat next to Huo Jinyao and watched it. She didn’t know the strategy but started to know the rules.
She knew that Huo Jinyao was a good Go player since he had defeated Old Master Li. She did not expect, however, that he could also defeat Old Master Huo.
Liu Tongjia felt uncomfortable seeing the harmonious and joyful scene between the grandpa and grandchildren. She stood up to leave, but Huo Mingguang took her arm and asked her to sit down. Liu Tongjia glared at her husband. He wanted to watch the fun here, but she did not.
She wanted to stand up again, but Huo Mingguang held her down again. She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV at the same time.
Su Qingsang was watching the Go game when she suddenly heard the sound of the TV and took a look at it. Then, she made an exclamation that sounded like, “Eh!”
Wasn’t the woman on the TV the one whose wallet had been stolen by a thief that day. She had gotten help from Su Qingsang. So, she was a television host?
