Su Qingsang was not the least bit surprised by Huo Jinyao’s answer. The Huo family was not a family that even the Li family could compare to. The sons and grandsons of the Huo family had people of their own in the army, government, and business fields.

The current head of the Huo family, Huo Mingguan, wasn’t involved in the government but was a considered a leader in society.

If Huo Jinyao had something to do with that Huo family, then why would he have married her? The sons and grandsons of the Huo family could have any woman they desired.

How was this possible? Grandfather Li had worked together with the Huo family before. How come he thought that the man standing in front of him looked like the current head of the Huo family.

Grandfather Li and Grandfather Qiu exchanged glances. They were both suspicious.

Huo Jinyao acted as if he didn’t see their expressions and only stared at Su Qingsang and said, “Wife, I’m so hungry.”

Su Qingsang felt goosebumps coming again. “You…”

“Isn’t it the banquet today? It has probably started right?” Huo Jinyao glanced at Qiu Yanbo and continued, “Or did Qiu not prepare a share for us?”

With these words, Qiu Yanbo stay quiet any longer and quickly responded, “How can that be? It’s going to start immediately. This way please.”

“Wife.” Huo Jinyao held Su Qingsang’s shoulders and continued, “I’m so hungry. You don’t know how bad airplane food tastes. I rushed over the moment I landed.”

“You could’ve actually…” Su Qingsang didn’t finish her sentence but thought the rest to herself.

Not come here. It was just Qiu Yanbo’s birthday.

“No worries. How could I not come for good food?” Huo Jinyao leaned in towards Su Qingsang’s ear and continued, “In addition, I’m giving him a gift. I spent a half month’s worth of my salary on this gift.”

Su Qingsang didn’t hear what he had said clearly. She only felt him come in really close to her suddenly. His hot breath was right next to her ear.

She awkwardly retracted her neck, but let Huo Jinyao lean in closer.

“I really am so hungry.”

He didn’t think too much about his words, but the Qiu family, Li family, and people from the Su family standing behind him all heard his words.

His actions didn’t seem like those of a son or grandson of the Huo family. Grandfather Li was relieved. If Su Qingsang really had married into the Huo family, then he would have to reconsider his treatment of this illegitimate granddaughter.

“Let’s go. The banquet is starting. This way please, father-in-law.”

Grandfather Qiu led Grandfather Li and his family, along with his own son and daughter toward the seats in a high position.

Su Qingsang only got out from under Huo Jinyao’s hand, which was on her shoulder when she sat down.

It wasn’t the main table and no one had arrived at it yet. Still, she recognized everyone sitting by them.

Zeng Weiqiang, Luo Haonan, and Luo Haonan’s younger sister Luo Meishan were there. Song Yangjia and his sister Song Youhe, Chang Ningning and her younger brother Chang Qiuhai, and Wu Ran also sat near. These people were all friends of Qiu Yanbo.

Su Qingsang had never been to any events with them, but still she knew of their group. Huo Jinyao really knew how to choose seats. He chose nice seats at ease.

The following events were very strange. When the banquet had started, no one came to sit at their table them.

There were many empty seats at their table, but no one came to sit in them. Su Qingsang turned around and saw a pleased expression on Luo Haonan’s face. She sighed.

If she remembered correctly, Luo Haonan, who also had a decent family background liked Su Peizhen.

She turned back around to look at Huo Jinyao. He was not the least bit bothered or awkward at the fact that no one was coming to sit with them. On the other hand, he looked at her with a questioning expression and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not hungry?”
