To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 218: You Favor Her

After they sat down, Su Qingsang was reassured.

Everyone chatted leisurely. Su Qingsang thought that everyone was easygoing and talkative except Xu Changlong.

Li Junsheng being there did surprise Su Qingsang. She never imagined such a celebrity, whom Su Qingsang could see on TV, was Huo Jinyao’s good friend.

Sitting beside Huo Jinyao, Li Junsheng raised his glass to Su Qingsang.

“Little Sister-in-law, nice to meet you. Cheers,” Li Junsheng said.

“Come on, she is not good at drinking alcohol.” Huo Jinyao didn’t want Su Qingsang to get drunk.

“Can I say that you’re favoring her?” Li Junsheng asked, with a jocular sense in his eyes. He did not force her to drink.

Huo Jinyao smiled, “Yes, she is my wife. I am obviously going to favor her. Do you have any objection?”

“No, I have no objection,” Li Junsheng replied.

“Jinyao, this is on you. Your wife is finally here and she can’t drink alcohol?” Cheng Xianyun said.

Cheng Xianyun raised his glass to propose a toast to Su Qingsang. Su Qingsang smiled but refused him, “I am really not good at drinking alcohol.”

“Well, if you aren’t drinking alcohol, what about singing a song?” Cheng Xianyun pulled Su Qingsang up, turned around to Huo Jinyao and said, “Brother Huo, just spare some of Little Sister-in-law’s time for me.” Then, turning to Su Qingsang, he said, “You can choose whether you want to drink or sing.”

“You bastard.” Huo Jinyao gazed at Cheng Xianyun and turned around to Su Qingsang. “Don’t mind him. If you don’t want to sing, you can just sit there leisurely. No one would dare to force you to do anything you don’t want to.”

Wan Xianyang, Cheng Xianyun and Tang Mohan paused the song they had started singing. Su Qingsang blushed and said, in a shy tone, “I can sing a song for you.”

“Come on, you see? My Little Sister-in-law agreed. What do you want to sing? I can do you a favor and request a song from KTV,” Cheng Xianyun said.

“Thanks, but I can do it on my own.” Saying this, Su Qingsang stood up and went to the automatic song-order station.

Su Qingsang attracted the majority of people’s attention. Li Junsheng approached Huo Jinyao and said, in a low tone, “The eastern urban-planning land plan has changed, your company should give it up.”

“Oh?” Nothing could be read from Huo Jinyao’s expression. Huo Jinyao raised his glass and said, “What has changed?”

“The planning land was planned as a villa district. Now, the norm document formulates this land will be used as a district for orphan housing and nursing homes,” Li Junsheng replied.

“I don’t want to get the eastern urban-planning land.” Huo Jinyao raised his glass and clinked with Li Junsheng’s glass. “Actually, what I really want is the northern urban-planning land.”

Li Junsheng smiled and clinked his glass with Huo Jinyao. “You bastard, you are so sly.”

“I accept that as praise.” Huo Jinyao smiled happily. “I have high aspirations for the auction being held next month.”

“Take it easy, the northern planning land will belong to you if everything goes well.” Drinking less than half a glass, Li Junsheng’s expression became more serious. “Now that you earn this much money, you should do something to fulfill your responsibility. Even though you do not want the eastern urban-planning land, you and your company should make an effort to help in its construction.”

“Yes, Mayor Li. Now that you mention it, I will meet your need. My good development work will make you proud of it, too,” Huo Jinyao said.

“You...” Li Junsheng smiled.

Huo Jinyao knew that Li Junsheng was ambitious.

Huo Jinyao and Li Junsheng clinked their glasses. They knew each other well even though they rarely spoke.

When Su Qingsang returned to her seat, she found Huo Jinyao was more pleasant. She looked at Huo Jinyao and was confused about what had happened to make him happier.

Huo Jinyao couldn’t tell her what had happened, so he just passed her a glass of juice.

While Su Qingsang was taking the glass from him, the door of their room was opened. Three women stood outside the door. The woman who led the others in was very delicate and charming, with an unpleasant expression.

“Alright, I guess you party here. You guys are so mean for not inviting us,” the woman who led others uttered.
