To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 319 – Is That You?

Chapter 319: Is That You?

“Mother, hurry up and eat. The dishes won’t be good when they’re cold.”

Xiang Caiping was absolutely sure this time. She was sure that Su Qingsang had accepted her. The corners of her eyes were moist and Huo Jinyao started to speak upon seeing the state she was in.

“Mother, it’s Qingsang’s birthday today. We should be jubilant.”

“Yes, I’m happy. I’m happy.”

Xiang Caiping wiped the corners of her eyes. She felt especially delighted and heartened as she looked at Su Qingsang. Not only had she reunited with her daughter, she had also acquired a son-in-law.

She was feeling a surge of emotions that could not be pacified at the moment. Even though she tried her best to rein her emotions in, the redness in the corners of her eyes still revealed her current state of mind.

“I…I’ll go to the washroom.”

Xiang Caiping got up from her seat hurriedly and exited the private dining room in a state of haste. Huo Jinyao wanted to remind her that there was a washroom in their private dining room but he could not do it in time.

In a neighboring dining room, Su Chenghui’s two lower-echelon business partners were offering him a toast.

“Director Su, look how prominent your corporation is now. Please don’t forget about our smaller companies.”

“Yes, yes, we’ll rake in wealth together. It’ll be good to get rich together.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

They had fawned over Huo Jinyao but failed to gain his favor. Now, they were trying everything they could to associate themselves with Su Chenghui.

Tianyu Group’s current movements and plans in the business arena were hugely substantial. On top of that, the Li Family, the Qiu Family, as well as two other fairly prominent families, all had business partnerships with Tianyu Group.

Unfortunately, the companies of lower status than the movers and shakers of the business arena could not even get a whiff of any lucrative partnerships, not to mention any share of the pie.

Many business owners of smaller companies were bent on establishing connections with Huo Jinyao and fostering a good relationship with him to get into his good books. It was never to any avail as Huo Jinyao never agreed to meet them.

Now that they got to meet Su Chenghui, they naturally tried all means to fawn over him with much enthusiasm.

Su Chenghui’s reception of their flattery was not the same as before. He was lost in his own thoughts.

When they mentioned Huo Jinyao, he was also thinking about this son-in-law of his. Huo Jinyao…

Yesterday, Qiu Junjiao had merely splashed a glass of drink at Su Qingsang. This morning, Huo Jinyao had already decided to assign Su Chenghui the project that the Qiu Family was originally responsible for.

The reason for this reassignment was obvious in reflecting on how Huo Jinyao was indeed vindicating Su Qingsang. It was also because of the previous revelation involving Su Peizhen. The Su Family had adopted a positive stance towards it.

Looking back, how could it not be because Su Yuxin stood up for Su Qingsang and went to her aid at the banquet?

Despite his corporation having acquired a new assignment, Su Chenghui was not the least happy about it. He never knew why Huo Jinyao, as the director-general of a massive corporation, carried things out so casually as he pleased. It caused Su Chenghui to fume with rage.

Massaging between his eyebrows, Su Chenghui’s smile froze. “I’m stepping out to make a call. Please carry on as you wish.”

Stepping out of the private dining room, Su Chenghui did not really have the intention to make a call. He touched his pockets, originally thinking of taking out his cigarette for a smoke. He recalled, however, that he had quit smoking years ago.

Just as he was thinking of returning to the private dining room, he espied a figure in front of him just a little distance away. The presence of that figure stunned him.

Out of the private dining room, Xiang Caiping remembered that she had pre-ordered a cake. It was meant as a surprise for Su Qingsang so she had left it with the reception.

She went to collect the cake by herself. As she thought about how today was the first time she was physically celebrating her daughter’s birthday with her, she was overwhelmed with emotions.

Walking in the direction of the private dining room with the cake, she suddenly heard a familiar voice when she had gotten so close to her destination.

“Caiping, is that you?”

Xiang Caiping stopped in her tracks. Momentarily bewildered, the cake almost slipped from her hands. Without waiting for her reaction, the voice behind her was raised a few notches.

“Caiping? Is that you? Is that you?”
