To My Dear Mr. Huo Chapter 339 - Perhaps She Had Misheard

Chapter 339: Perhaps She Had Misheard

Li Qianxue’s eyes bore into the financial report as she pondered on Su Chenghui’s performance over more than two decades.
Putting away the fact that he did not love her and also had never been physically affectionate to her, he could almost be considered as a good husband.
He did not fool around with other women in his personal life and was enthusiastic and hardworking in his career. He had his own methods of achieving success.
More importantly, over so many years, Su Chenghui had never attempted to scheme for any profits that did not belong to him.
Over the years, except for spending on normal business socializing, he almost did not incur any extra expenditure.
Moreover, during all these years, Su Chenghui had never taken advantage of his position in the Li Corporation to engage in any inappropriate or shady dealings.
All the profits he had achieved and the salary he was taking were the results of his hard work.
She was once worried that the reason Su Chenghui had married her and stayed with her was due to revenge. She was unsure whether he would do anything to harm Li Corporation.
However, Su Chenghui did nothing devious and her worries were unfounded. Instead, he worked tirelessly to advance Li Corporation’s standing in the business world.
As time passed, not only was Old Master Li increasingly appreciative of him, even she had started to let down her guard and her initial suspicions towards him dissipated.
Li Qianxue massaged her brows and comforted herself that perhaps she had misheard that day, or perhaps Su Chenghui was speaking gibberish in his sleep.
It had been more than two decades and Su Chenghui had never demonstrated any strange behavior. Come to think of it, it must be that she was reading too much into things.
…
Su Qingsang boarded the flight with Xiang Caiping. Huo Jinyao had sent them to the airport early this morning.
It was not Xiang Caiping’s first trip abroad, but it was the first time that she felt so emotional.
“Qingsang, have you been to Japan before?”
“No, I have not.” Su Qingsang shook her head as she saw the look of excitement and expectation on Xiang Caiping’s face. “It’s my first time too.”
“I’ve actually been there once.” Xiang Caiping recalled the time when she first started her own business. “At that time, I had many employees and for those who had performed well, the company had decided to reward them by sending them for overseas trips. I went along a few times.”
“Mother, the employee benefits in your company are great.” Su Qingsang held her mother’s hand as she got increasingly used to being close with Xiang Caiping. “Since you’ve been there before, won’t the experience be nothing new for you?”
“Why would that be the case?” Xiang Caiping shook her head. “We knew nothing at that time. All we did was follow the tour guide. After a round of sightseeing, we did not learn anything.”
“Then you have got to really enjoy yourself this time, Mother. Let your hair down and have fun.”
“Sure,” Xiang Caiping patted Su Qingsang’s hand. “As long as I’m with you, I’m having fun even if I’m not doing anything.”
“Mother.”
Su Qingsang felt somewhat touched. She edged her face towards Xiang Caiping’s shoulder.
“Alright, the flight will last some hours yet. You should sleep for a while. I’ll get the air-stewardess to get you a blanket.”
“No worries, I’ll get it myself. You too should rest for a while.”
Xiang Caiping was touched by her daughter’s thoughtfulness. She became increasingly relieved that she had made the impulsive decision to come to Lin City to acknowledge Su Qingsang as her daughter. If she had not done that, she wouldn’t be enjoying this reunion with her daughter now.
Two days later, Xiang Caiping and Su Qingsang checked themselves into a renowned hot spring resort in Nagoya.
The surroundings were elegant and tranquil. The tour guide had been telling them that reservations here had to be made way in advance and it was their good fortune to be able to stay here.
Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping exchanged a smile. They had been rather satisfied with Huo Jinyao’s arrangements thus far.
It was especially so when they saw their room and took a tour of the hot spring area behind the resort. Xiang Caiping was now convinced that her daughter had a good eye for picking out the right man. Her daughter had fared much better than her in this aspect.
After going around the resort with their tour guide, the duo returned to their room.
When they carried their luggage into their room, Su Peizhen and her entourage had also arrived at the reception and checked into the resort.
