Chapter 213: Can’t Stand That

The descendants’ various expressions revealed their surprised reactions to what Old Master Huo had said. It seemed, however, that Old Master Huo didn’t notice their faces. Even if he had noticed, he wouldn’t change his mind.

“Grandfather.” Su Qingsang felt so awkward that she could not sit leisurely by. “This gift is too expensive, I can’t take it.”

“Don’t say that.” Old Master Huo waved his hand and said, “Inanimate objects may be cold and lifeless, but people can use them to show their warmth and kindness. Now that you have married Jinyao, you are the eldest granddaughter-in-law in the Huo Family. You should not just take this gift for granted.” historical

“But—” Su Qingsang couldn’t help but look to Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao slightly pinched Su Qingsang’s hand to try to calm her.

“Now that I have said that it is your gift, this villa belongs to you. You should not be uncomfortable with it,” Old Master Huo said.

After glimpsing at all the people around the table, Old Master Huo gazed at Su Qingsang and said, “Don’t be nervous. This gift is not just for you. If you can bear a baby for our family, I will gift that baby the shares that I own.”

“Grandfather,” Su Qingsang uttered.

She really felt pressured. She didn’t feel ready to be a mother.

“It doesn’t matter. I am old now and might leave this world soon. I’d like to see from the afterlife that you and Jinyao inherit my fortune,” Old Master Huo said.

The dining room was silent. No one at the table could say anything. Huo Mingmei bit her lip and held her own hand so tightly that she even broke one of her nails.

Although Huo Mingliang’s expression seemed normal, a sullen look emerged in his eyes which revealed his real mood. As for the other younger members of the Huo Family, they were too naive to hide the disappointment in their eyes.

It seemed like Old Master Huo didn’t notice their expressions. He waved his hand to command the butler to serve the dishes.

“Father,” Huo Mingmei finally couldn’t help but complain. Although she was a member of the Huo Family, she had barely any involvement in the family business other than her minor share.

She knew how much that villa cost. As the best villa at a prime location with the best decor that Old Master Huo had, it was worth almost fourteen million dollars. She had once wanted to ask for that villa to be her daughter’s birthday gift but couldn’t bring herself to do so. How could Old Master Huo have gifted it to Su Qingsang?

“Jinyao and Qingsang haven’t always lived in Rong City. This villa is too big for them,” Huo Mingmei said.

“Now that I have gifted it to her, this villa belongs to her. She can use it however she likes. It is her business,” Old Master Huo replied.

Old Master Huo knew his daughter’s mind.

He didn’t prefer his son or look down on his daughter. His decision was based on his observations over the years.

“But...” Huo Mingmei still wanted to say something. Wei Nantian sat beside her. He pulled her arm and signaled with his eyes that she should stop speaking.

She couldn’t help but shut up.

The servants started to serve dishes. Su Qingsang was used to sinking under the radar at dinners like these, so she behaved the way she usually did.

Although she wanted to feel invisible, someone was trying his best to make her presence known.

“Qingsang, have a taste. Aunt Wang is good at frying fish. It tastes good,” Huo Jinyao said, offering her a plate.

“Qingsang, have a taste. This beef is so tender,” Huo Jinyao said, offering her another.

“Qingsang, have some soup. Aunt Wang has been stewing it since this morning. It is very yummy,” Huo Jintao suggested.

Actually, Su Qingsang was unaccustomed to sitting in front of this many people. On top of that, more and more people were gazing at her due to Huo Jinyao’s intimate behavior. She felt more and more uncomfortable.

“Come on, don’t do that again. I can do that myself,” Su Qingsang said.

“It doesn’t matter. I just like to pick up food for you.,” Huo Jinyao replied.

Watching him grin, Su Qingsang felt her mouth twitch. She suddenly realized that Huo Jinyao’s public displays of affection may make more people envy her.
