Chapter 34: No One Trusts Her

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

Su Qingsang wasn’t fond of any of the Su Family. She was also not fond of their future son-in-law.

There was a friendship that spanned generations between the Su Family and Qiu’s family. Ever since he was young, Qiu Yanbo had always been an excellent child in the eyes of his elders and had enjoyed a myriad of praise.

He got a master’s degree in Science of Business Administration from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology a while ago. When he came back, he started to work at their family business.

He paid visits to the Su Family every year. Su Peizhen was very young at that time. Qiu Yanbo was nice-looking and had an influential family.

In her eyes, there was nobody other than Qiu Yanbo in all of Lin City good enough to marry her.

Qiu’s family wanted to connect with the Su Family through marriage as well. Therefore, the day that Qiu Yanbo took over their family enterprise turned out to be the perfect timing for their engagement as well.

Su Qingsang knew Su Peizhen cared a lot about Qiu Yanbo. Because of this, she always kept a proper distance from him.

As for that night, she also had no idea what happened.

From her point of view, when she fell to the ground, Qiu Yanbo didn’t help her explain. Instead, he gave credence to Su Peizhen’s allegation by remaining silent. That’s what she could not understand.

She was not so slutty to like any man she met, let alone to seduce the man who would become her brother-in-law. However, no one believed in her.

Moreover, it also upset her that Qiu Yanbo acted like he was enjoying the drama.

Qiu Yanbo seemed not to notice the gloomy expression on Su Qingsang’s face and turned to Huo Jinyao.

“Huo Jinyao, right?”

“What’s up?” Huo Jinyao still had not taken his hand off Su’s shoulder all. Qiu Yanbo’s presence made him tense up, so he grabbed tighter.

Su Qingsang was not accustomed to his touch, but she did not react to it.

“Today is your first visit home after the wedding. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to just leave like this?”

Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao looked at each other, and Su Qingsang broke the silence. “I think it’s quite appropriate. Anyway, you don’t like to see us. If we leave, you can enjoy your tranquility.”

What is she talking about? Qiu Yanbo thought. He frowned slightly and became more serious.

“Qingsang, you mean you want to separate yourself from the Su Family?”

Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes, coldly, at the way that Qiu Yanbo had just addressed Su Qingsang.

He was unaccustomed to it and uncomfortable, so was Su Qingsang.

I am not that close with him, his talking to me in this way makes me uncomfortable.

“Of course not.” Although she was confused, she said this with an unperturbed expression.

I do want to separate myself from them, but it is not my place to do so.

“My self-awareness just tells me that we should go instead of being a bothersome eyesore.”

Qiu Yanbo narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Qingsang who was more vocal than usual. “Qingsang, you have become tougher after getting married.”

Su Qingsang didn’t reply.

I did get tougher. That’s not due to my marriage, but because I am tired and finally see them clearly. Now that I know that everything I do is wrong and in vain in their eyes, why should I force myself to try to please them?

“Does your happy marriage embolden you?” Qiu Yanbo asked, glimpsing at Huo Jinyao.

He knew this man could not be as normal as he behaved. After their wedding, Qiu Yanbo had furtively investigated Huo Jinyao but nothing out of the ordinary came to light.

There were only two possibilities that could explain this: this man was either extremely normal or he was too enigmatic and powerful to be investigated effectively.

Now, the latter possibility occupied his mind.
