Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Rui had said the same thing before.

The bond between people sharing the same bloodline was sometimes so magical. It could quickly close the distance between them, as though she had never left.

The moment Su Zheng stepped into the study, he received a call from Huo Qi. He could hear the meaning behind Huo Qi’s words, and they had a cordial exchange.

When Kong Yue walked in, Su Zheng’s frown deepened. She began to question him, “What are you trying to do by asking Qingqing to come up? Do you still want to scold her?”

“Let’s not talk about that for now. The Huo family just called,” Su Zheng said to Kong Yue.

She was stunned. “The Huo family? Why did they call?”

Su Zheng stood up and slowly walked out. “They know that Su Qing is back, and want to continue with the arranged marriage.”

“You mean the betrothal that Daddy and Uncle Huo decided on?” Kong Yue asked in surprise. “Didn’t it become invalid long after Qingqing disappeared?”

Su Zheng looked at her. “But she’s back now!”

Kong Yue stared at him with wide eyes. “What do you mean? Everyone in the capital knows who Huo Qi is! Do you really want Qingqing to marry him?”

Huo Qi had become famous from a young age, and his reputation in the capital was very bad. Everyone said that he was a fierce and aggressive person, and that he was not easy to approach. He also led a promiscuous lifestyle.

Kong Yue frowned and declared, “Don’t even think about it! I’ll never let Qingqing be with such a person.”

Su Zheng was actually a little tempted by the proposal. “This is a marriage decided by the elders. There’s no room for you to decide on it.” That was the Huo family, the famous Huo family! It would be good if they could re-establish some ties with the Huo family!

......

“I don’t care! We only have one precious daughter. I won’t allow you to push her out when she has just returned to my side!” Kong Yue’s eyes were red again. She was a very emotional person. Because she had always lived in such a luxurious environment without any worries, she had developed a willful and sincere personality.

The greatest pain she had suffered in her life was probably the pain of losing Su Qing.

Since the door was slightly ajar, Su Yan stood outside and eavesdropped onto their conversation.

Everyone knew who Huo Qi was. He was the only heir to the Huo family in the capital, and was a very powerful figure. Yet, all these years, he had been notorious. If Su Qing really married him, her life would definitely be difficult. And when that time arrived, wouldn’t she remain as the only daughter in the family?

This was what she wanted! Su Yan’s eyes lit up. This matter was beneficial to her!

She had also heard what Kong Yue said, and it pierced her heart. It turned out that even after staying in the Su family for so many years, Kong Yue still only acknowledged Su Qing as her daughter.

There was hatred and unwillingness in her eyes. Hearing footsteps at the stairs, she quickly restrained her emotions.

Su Xing looked at her leaning unnaturally against the stairs at the entrance of the study. “What are you doing here? Go back to sleep.”

“Eldest Brother, I was afraid that Daddy and Mommy would fight over Sister Qing, so I wanted to stay here and keep a lookout for her.” She said this very gently and considerately, as though she was really worried about Su Qing.

Su Xing looked at her for a few seconds and nodded. “You’re so considerate. Go to sleep. I’ll go in and take a look.”

“Alright, Eldest Brother. Rest early too.” Su Yan could only pretend to be obedient and leave.

Su Xing knocked on the door of the study, and noticed the slightly open door. His expression darkened.

“Come in!” Su Zheng said.

Kong Yue and Su Zheng had been arguing for a long time, and her eyes were red from crying. She looked at Su Xing, who had walked in, and said, “Xing’er, you came at the right time. I want to hear your views about this matter!”

“What’s wrong?” Su Xing asked.

Kong Yue told Su Xing what had happened. As the latter listened on, he frowned and didn’t express any opinion.

He thought that it was just a small matter, but he didn’t expect it to be so complicated. He took a piece of tissue and handed it to Kong Yue, then said slowly, “Don’t be sad, Mom. I understand.”

He looked at Su Zheng. “Dad, what are your thoughts on this matter?”

He paused for a moment, then suggested, “Why don’t I tell you my thoughts first?”

Seeing that Su Zheng had nodded, Su Xing continued, “My sister is still very young. We’ll have to discuss this at a later time. Moreover, Huo Qi isn’t a good person, so I don’t agree with this marriage either.”

Su Zheng lowered his head and said in frustration, “I understand what you mean…”

He had to consider Su Xing’s opinion. “We can discuss this matter further. Anyway, it’s been so long, and so many things have changed…”

“Then find a reason to reject it!” Kong Yue quickly added.
