Chapter 225: That’s Not Hers

Su Qingsang stopped at the top of the stairs. Old Master Huo also saw Xu Ruoli, who had already stood up.

“Grandpa Huo.”

“You’re here, girl.” He waved his hand and signaled her to sit down. “Sit down and make yourself at home.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Huo.”

Old Master Huo sat down on the sofa. Seeing Su Qingsang standing there motionlessly, he stretched out a hand to her. “Qingsang, come and sit down.”

Su Qingsang rubbed her nose and finally went to Old Master Huo. She sat down beside him. She had forgotten to put the box away and was still holding it in her hand.

When Liu Tongjia saw the box, her face changed and she could not help but look at Old Master Huo.

“Dad,” Liu Tongjia said as she met Old Master Huo’s eyes. Her voice was very light, but there was a bit of surprise and unwillingness in her tone.

“That bracelet belonged to Mother, didn’t it?”

Old Master Huo nodded. “Yes, she left it.”

“Why is it in her hand?”

Su Qingsang was confused when the topic of the conversation unexpectedly fell on her. Did this bracelet have some special meaning?

“Jinyao married her. It’s hers of course.”

“But—” Liu Tongjia’s face became quite sour. “How can it be hers? How does she deserve it?”

Every word she said was very light, yet full of strong dissatisfaction if you listened carefully.

“I don’t see why she doesn’t deserve it.” Old Master Huo defended her. “She is now Jinyao’s wife. Why doesn’t she deserve it?”

“This is meant for the eldest daughter-in-law. I was—” Liu Tongjia paused for a moment. Then, she looked at Old Master Huo. “Anyway, it’s not hers,” she said.

Su Qingsang became a little embarrassed and the box in her hand started to feel very hot—she did not know whether to take it or not.

Xu Ruoli was sitting there silently as she watched this scene play out.

“Tongjia, I know what you are thinking. You don’t think she is good enough for Jinyao, but now they are married. I think she is good enough.” historical

“Dad.” Liu Tongjia became extremely sour. “We still have a guest here. What are you talking about?”

“Nothing. The Xu girl happens to be here now, so she can know my attitudde. Ruoli, you are good, very good. It seems, however, you two are not meant to be. I believe you are a good girl and you have a bright future. The old engagement, forget it.”

Xu Ruoli hadn’t expected Old Master Huo to say this so directly. She became completely pale.

“Grandpa Huo, I—”

“I’m old and I don’t have many years to live. Life and death are not so important to me anymore. I just want you young kids to be happy. That goes for everybody.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t help but give Old Master Huo a look of admiration. He was very wise to have such a clear understanding of life; too many people simply just couldn’t see it as he did. There were few who could be as sanguine as Old Master Huo.

“Grandpa Huo,” Xu Ruoli seemed to finally find her voice. “What are you talking about? I came here today to visit Aunt Huo. We haven’t seen each other for a long time after all and Aunt Huo is always taking care of me.”

“Mmm, I know you are a good girl. I haven’t seen you for a long time, either. Stay here for dinner.”

“Thank you, Grandpa Huo.”

Xu Ruoli nodded and looked at Su Qingsang subconsciously. Su Qingsang smiled awkwardly. So this meant that this woman had given up?
