Chapter 547: 547, it’s quite fun to tease.
“So that’s how it is,” Su Wanwan sneered once more. “Because of your other daughter, who has embarrassed you so much that you can’t even go home for the New Year, you don’t have anyone to back you up. So, you decided to let your eldest daughter, me, to do it?”
One sarcastic remark after another finally got to Su Yuntang, who picked up a teacup from the bedside table and threw it at her. “Bastard! Leave now! I disown you as my daughter! Get out of here!”
With a “clang”, the teacup hit Su Wanwan and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Her thick winter clothes shielded her from any pain, and the cup was empty.
But Jiang Yi still rushed over worriedly. “Wanwan, are you okay?”
Su Wanwan glanced at the shattered ceramic on the floor, lifted her head, forced a smile, and looked at Su Yuntang. “Fine. I’m leaving now.”
Then, she turned around and left without looking back.
“Wanwan, Wanwan!” Jiang Yi called out symbolically a few times then turned to her husband. “Yuntang, what happened? Wanwan came all this way to see you, can’t you control your temper?”
“Didn’t you hear what she just said? Talking about posthumous affairs and showing off… This evil bitch is purposely trying to anger me!”
“Wanwan just has a sharp tongue but a soft heart,” Jiang Yi soothed. “When I called her just now, the moment she heard you were in a car accident, she rushed over. This shows she still cares about you, her father.”
“She just wants to gloat over my misfortune! This ungrateful wretch is going to be the death of me someday!” Su Yuntang gritted his teeth, his chest heaving in fury.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Yi went to the bedside and comforted him, rubbing his chest in circles. “Okay, don’t be angry anymore. It’s not good for your health.”
Su Yuntang took a deep breath and fell silent.

Su Wanwan realized that she really enjoyed taking revenge.
But there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn’t hold back.
Seeing Su Yuntang so red-faced and flustered amused her.
When he didn’t need her, he wouldn’t make a phone call for months. She’d almost forgotten she had a father.
Now that he needed her, he wanted her to bring her husband home.
Did he think she was stupid?
Wasn’t he just trying to have Huo Jingshen prop him up at the celebration for his new position as bureau chief?
After all, Huo Jingshen, being the eldest grandson of the Huo family, had both status and identity. His name was like a live billboard.
If she had such a son-in-law, all the leaders in the bureau and the city, including the relatives in the Su family, would probably see him in a different light.
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears.
The moment Su Wanwan got into the taxi, her phone rang. It was Huo Jingshen.
“Baby, how’s the situation at the hospital?”
Hearing the man’s mature and magnetic deep voice, Su Wanwan instantly calmed down.
She responded cheerfully, “I’m fine. They said he just fainted while walking. It wasn’t a car accident. He doesn’t seem injured at all, quite healthy actually. No need to worry.”
“That’s good,” Huo Jingshen asked, “Are you all right?”
“What could happen to me? I’m going home now.”
“Well, I still have to work in the afternoon. Wait for me obediently at home tonight.”
“Okay.”

Huo Yuan Group.
In the CEO’s office, Huo Jingshen put down his phone and dialed the internal line.
Ji Jie soon walked in.
Huo Jingshen asked him to visit Su Yuntang in the hospital and bring some gifts.
After Ji Jie left, Huo Jingshen got up, lit a cigarette and dialed another number on his phone.
The call was soon answered.
The woman’s voice drifted over, faint and distant. “Is Wanwan okay?”
“She’s fine.”
“That’s good.”
Huo Jingshen’s tone was low. “Why did you suddenly come to Nancheng?”
“I didn’t know Su Yuntang would see me. But don’t worry, my people knocked him out immediately. There were many people there, and it was chaotic. It won’t be discovered.”
“Do you want to meet Wanwan?”
There was a long silence on the phone.
Then, the woman said, “I’m going back to the UK tomorrow, and there’s not enough time. Nevermind, we can talk about it next time.”
“Okay.” Huo Jingshen didn’t insist.
After hanging up, he saw that Su Wanwan had just sent a WeChat message: [Honey, why are you standing outside the mall?]
Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow and replied, [What do you mean?]
Su Wanwan sent a photo of a cute golden piglet outside a shopping mall.
The piglet even had the large red characters for “Good fortune for the Year of the Pig” on its body.
Su Wanwan asked, [What are you doing sneaking around here instead of going to work?]
Huo Jingshen: “…”
This girl.
Feeling happy after teasing him?

The next day was New Year’s Eve.
In the afternoon, Huo Jingshen drove Su Wanwan back to the X District compound.
Entering the three-story villa of the Huo Family, both Fu Qi and Fu Ziyang were already sitting on the sofa in the living room. An unknown TV station’s Spring Festival Gala was playing on television, with Old Master Huo and Huo Juncheng playing chess on the side, and tempting smell wafting from the kitchen where the housemaids were busy.
Seeing Su Wanwan, Fu Ziyang immediately stood up and greeted, “Auntie.”
Su Wanwan went over to greet everyone.
Then she patted the little guy’s head, “Ziyang, have you grown taller again?”
Fu Ziyang, with his chubby face, said, “Auntie, we just met two days ago.”
Su Wanwan laughed awkwardly.
The little guy was living in the villa next door with Fu Qi, though they were in the same area, it still took over ten minutes to walk there. She had been out early and back late these days, so there was not much chance to see each other.
Old Lady Huo came out of the kitchen and indirectly said, “Wanwan, you will understand when you have a child. Kids change every day and grow taller every day.”
Su Wanwan could only laugh awkwardly.
Old Lady Huo’s desire to hold a great-grandson was only just short of being written on her face.
Though she was only twenty years old now, and she truly felt that she was still young, she hadn’t even graduated from university yet.
Even after graduation, there were many interesting things waiting for her to do.
Having children was truly too far away for her.
“By the way, Wanwan, how long is your winter vacation?” Old Lady Huo asked again.
Su Wanwan said, “We start classes on March 2nd.”
“That’s a long time. Do you want to go somewhere? How about letting Ashen take you on a honeymoon? You two haven’t had a honeymoon after marriage, right? Don’t worry, the old man will pay for it.”
Old Master Huo, who was watching the chess game with a serious face, suddenly let out several “cough cough” sounds.
His wife was encouraging his grandson and granddaughter-in-law to go on a honeymoon, and she even wanted him to pay for it?
Using his money to earn favor?
The old lady was really daydreaming.
As for Fu Qi, he pinched his fingers when he heard this.
Old Lady Huo had already enthusiastically suggested, “I think the Maldives is quite good, Hawaii is also good, or Europe, France, Italy…”
“Grandma.” Su Wanwan hurriedly interrupted her, “I’m interning right now, I have to go back to work on the fifth day of the new year.”
“Internship?”
Su Wanwan nodded.
“Which company?”
“A TV station under Huanyu Media.”
“Huanyu Media? What do they do?” Old Lady Huo frowned.
Huo Juncheng said, “Isn’t that Gu Lau Qi’s company?”
“Gu Lau Qi? Juncheng, are you talking about Huaian?” Old Lady Huo immediately frowned, “He runs an entertainment company, right? Wanwan, you’re not thinking about joining the entertainment industry and becoming a star, are you?”
Although their granddaughter-in-law was indeed pretty, and Old Lady herself enjoyed chasing stars, truth be told, the older generation was more conservative, always feeling that the people in the entertainment circle are not from good families. There were just too few girls who could remain unstained.
She still hoped that it would be best not to have any ties with the entertainment industry.
“Wanwan, that won’t do, the entertainment industry is complicated.”
Su Wanwan quickly said, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’m not becoming a star.”
“Then what are you doing?”
Su Wanwan was a bit embarrassed and could only give a vague reply, “I still haven’t figured it out yet, right now I’m doing things related to the program’s production at the television station, I guess it’s behind the scenes work.”
“Behind the scenes?” Old Lady Huo finally relaxed a bit.
Seeing that Huo Jingshen had come in from the outside, Old Lady quickly said, “Ashen, call Mingzhu. What’s going on? Juncheng and Nuanyang have been here for half a day. Tell her to hurry up and bring Zhexi over.”
“Alright.” Huo Jingshen had to grab his phone and go out to the balcony to make a call.
Old Lady Huo smiled and said, “Wanwan, do you know? Zhexi has a girlfriend now, he even mentioned before that he wanted to bring her home to see me.”
Su Wanwan blinked her eyes, “Really?”
Would Huo Zhexi bring Bai Ruwei home?
