“Ridiculous?” Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows and landed his eyes on Su Qingsang’s face. “I don’t think she’s acting ridiculous.”
“President Huo.” Ding Qing clenched her teeth so hard that she felt like they would shatter. “Can you please be serious? This is Tianyu Group, which is a company, not your house. Are you okay with Mrs. Huo acting like this?”
“Yeah, I’m okay with it.”
“Alright. Let me ask you a question then. What did I do wrong?” Ding Qing gave Su Qingsang a piercing glare and then turned back to Huo Jinyao, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She had solved the problem that Qiao Hong caused for him. Shouldn’t Huo Jinyao be thanking her?
How could he fire her just like that?
“You did nothing wrong.” Huo Jinyao put an arm around Su Qingsang’s shoulders and said, “you just displeased my wife.”
Being held by him, Su Qingsang raised her head to look at him. Her eyes sparkled like the stars.
“So that’s the reason?” Ding Qing was so angry that her voice started to tremble. She could not control herself. “You are really firing me for that reason?”
“That reason is good enough,” Huo Jinyao said, and turned and kissed Su Qingsnag on the cheek. “Because I’m afraid of my wife.”
Su Qingsang almost burst out in laughter. Yang Wenchang, who was standing behind them had also been trying pretty hard to keep himself from laughing out loud.
Huo Jinyao looked very calm and relaxed. He held Su Qingsang’s hand tight and said, “let’s go.”
“President Huo.” Ding Qing couldn’t help but block their path.
Yang Wenchang stepped forward just in time and stopped Ding Qing. “Miss. Ding, I assume that you have heard what President Huo said.”
“Mr. Yang, President Huo is out of his mind. This is ridiculous. Aren’t you gonna end this nonsense?”
Ding Qing was infuriated but still, she tried to keep herself sane.
The entire company knew that if anyone in Tianyu Group could change Huo Jinyao’s mind, that would be none other than Yang Wenchang.
“Miss. Ding, President Huo has made it pretty clear. Please stop this.”
Similar to Huo Jinyao, Yang Wenchang didn’t consider Ding Qing being fired as the direct result of Su Qingsang’s jealousy.
He had listened to the recordings and learned whom Ding Qing really worked for. He thought that she deserved to be fired.
“You want me to change his mind, but I can’t do that. I’m sorry. Mrs. Huo is the boss of the Huo Family now. You really shouldn’t have displeased her.”
Su Qingsang didn’t care how unhappy Ding Qing was.
She followed Huo Jinyao into the elevator. The whole thing felt surreal to her, thinking back at what had happened just now.
Huo Jinyao held her hand tightly. From time to time, she turned to look at him. Su Qingsang had a very complicated look in her eyes. She was not only touched but also shocked.
Huo Jinyao noticed the look in her eyes. He squeezed her hand and asked her, “why are you looking at me? Did you just find out that your husband is the best person in the universe?”
“Huo Jinyao.” Su Qingsang was only a little angry at Ding Qing for always provoking her. She didn’t really want to get her fired.
“Um, I was only joking with you just now. I didn’t really want you to fire Miss. Ding.”
She was not an adamant woman, nor an unreasonable one.
She did what she did today simply because she didn’t like Ding Qing’s arrogant and aggressive attitude.
Also, she didn’t like how Ding Qing always tried so hard to get close to Huo Jinyao while knowing that he was a married man.
However, she had also heard from Huo Jinyao that Ding Qing was very capable and talented. It would be a shame to let her go.
“Huo Jinyao, I think you should talk to Mr. Yang. Don’t fire Ding Qing.”
“Why? You don’t want to see her again, do you? So just let her go.”
Huo Jinyao was planning to keep an eye on Ding Qing and track her movements but eventually ended up changing his mind.
She worked for Liu Tongjia, but so what? Zhang Yang was on leave to take care of his wife who had just given birth. He wasn’t the one who had given birth.
He could always ask him to come back to work.
“No, I mean, this is not very serious.” Su Qingsang found that inappropriate. “I was really joking with you. She does make me feel a little uncomfortable, but you didn’t need to fire her for that. Most importantly, the board might criticize you for firing her without a proper reason.”
She didn’t point out who exactly might do that. The company belonged to the Huo Family. Huo Mingguang had spent years watching Liu Tongjia give Huo Jinyao a hard time without saying anything about it at all. His feelings towards Huo Jinyao were pretty clear also.
Su Qingsang didn’t want to put Huo Jinyao in an even more difficult situation.
Previously, she had known nothing about business. However, after becoming Li Qianxue’s daughter, she had learned a little about it.
Li Qianxue had already kicked Su Chenghui out of Li Group. Not many knew what exactly happened between them, so people accused Li Qianxue of being heartless. They believed that she abandoned the man after making good use of him.
Li Qianxue didn’t tell Su Qingsang about those things. However, Su Yuxin also worked in Li Group. He occasionally mentioned these things to Su Qingsang.
She probably could get more information by talking to Shi Mengwan. She was still living in Lin City. Based on the information provided by both Su Yuxin and Shi Mengwan, she could guess what happened back home.
Li Group belonged to the Li Family entirely. Still, people had criticized Li Qianxue very badly when she fired Su Chenghui.
Tianyu Group wasn’t run by Huo Jinyao alone. Huo Mingguang could use Ding Qing’s retrenchment as an excuse to give Huo Jinyao trouble…

“Don’t worry. It’s okay,” said Huo Jinyao, squeezing her hand. “She was my secretary, and you don’t like her. If I let her stay by my side as my secretary, you’d be seeing her all the time. You’d be unhappy. So, why don’t we just let her go?”
“But…”
Huo Jinyao kissed her on her lips to stop her from finishing what she wanted to say.
“Don’t worry, baby. It’s gonna be fine.”
Upon hearing him call her “baby”, Su Qingsang’s heart immediately softened. She wanted to say something else about the matter but didn’t know how to change Huo Jinyao’s mind.
“Alright.” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s serious face, gently pinched her cheek, and said, “smile, don’t frown. You look like an old lady this way.”
“Shut up.” Su Qingsang pushed his hand away and said, “you look like an old man.”
“Yeah, I’m an old man while you’re an old lady. We’re a perfect match.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t argue with her. Su Qingsang smiled and held his hand. “Alright. Let’s be an old couple.”
If she could hold the man’s hand until the end of her life, everything would be just perfect, wouldn’t it?
Huo Jinyao responded to her by holding her hand tightly.
…
Old Master Huo looked at Huo Jinyao with concern and said, “you seem to have lost some weight. Have you been busy lately?”
“A little.”
Huo Jinyao had been ill for a couple of days. He healed quickly, though, and he had indeed been busy at work recently. He didn’t really lose weight, but he looked a little sallow.
“Take care of yourself. Don’t work too hard.” Old Master Huo cared a lot about Huo Jinyao and was a little worried about him.
Huo Jinyao felt touched. He gave his grandpa a warm smile.
“Thank you, grandpa. I will.”
“Qingsang.” Old Master Huo looked at Su Qingsang, who was sitting by Huo Jinyao’s side. “Jinyao doesn’t know how to take care of himself. You two are married. Please look after him.”
“Don’t worry, grandpa. I will.”
In fact, Old Master Huo didn’t need to remind her. Su Qingsang had been trying her best to look after Huo Jinyao.
In the past couple of days, Huo Jinyao had been busier than usual. Su Qingsang knew that it was not helpful for his recovery, but she couldn’t stop him.
She thought it was Ding Qing’s retrenchment that gave Huo Jinyao more work to do. There was one less person assisting him. She felt a little guilty because of that.
Did she cause him trouble? With that thought, Su Qingsang couldn’t help but blame herself.
Old Master Huo knew that Su Qingsang would take good care of Huo Jinyao.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? I don’t need Qingsang to look after me. I should be the one looking after her.”
“You two should look after each other.”
Old Master Huo loved to see the two of them being a happy couple. There was nothing he enjoyed as much as seeing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law in a loving relationship.
Liu Tongjia came downstairs. Ever since the day she had that conversation with Su Qingsang, she hadn’t been feeling well.
She came downstairs to find Old Master Huo sitting together with Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang, looking happy. However, she didn’t look very happy.
She walked to the sofa and sat down, frowning.
Huo Jinyao greeted her, and then Su Qingsang called her ‘Aunt’.
After learning a bit about what had happened in the past, Su Qingsang felt confused when she saw Liu Tongjia again.
She felt sorry for what Liu Tongia had suffered, but couldn’t accept how she wrongly blamed Huo Jinyao.
Liu Tongjia ignored Su Qingsang’s gaze. She would never forgive Huo Jinyao, whether Su Qingsang knew about the whole story or not.
“I’m surprised to see you here. It’s not the weekend yet. You remembered to come back to visit your grandpa. That’s something.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t respond to that. Liu Tongjia’s aggressive tone made Su Qingsang knit her brows slightly.
She looked at Huo Jinyao with a worried look. Liu Tongjia never liked him in the past, yet she never did anything to harm his company before. But this time…
“I will visit my grandpa whenever I want to.” Huo Jinyao didn’t seem to be affected by Liu Tongjia’s attitude at all.
“Yeah, you’re an adult. You make your own decisions now. You don’t need the permission of others anymore. You can do whatever you want.”
That sounded like it had a hidden meaning. Old Master Huo glanced at Liu Tongjia and said to her, “Tongjia, the kids are here visiting me. I’m happy to see them. What are you talking about?”
“What am I talking about?” Liu Tongjia looked at Huo Jinyao with obvious discontent in her eyes and said, “father, you don’t know what Huo Jinyao has done, do you? I didn’t say anything wrong.”
“Tongjia.” Old Master Huo knew that Liu Tongjia didn’t like Huo Jinyao, that she and her son had issues. He had not said anything about that all these years. But recently, Liu Tongjia seemed to become more and more obsessed about her hatred towards Huo Jinyao.
At that moment, Old Master Huo intended to protect Huo Jinyao, and was a little unhappy about Liu Tongjia’s attitude.
“Father, do you know that Huo Jinyao has fired an employee without any legitimate reason? She was doing a great job.”
Liu Tongjia glanced at Huo Jiyao and then turned to Old Master Huo. She wasn’t trying to conceal the contempt and discontent in her eyes at all.
“She did nothing wrong, but he fired her, just for his wife. You have no idea how ridiculous his reason was.”
