If Su Qingsang decided to take her words seriously, she could fall into the woman’s trap.
Realizing that, Su Qingsang wore a relaxed look. She didn’t feel bored but began to enjoy the view outside the window with great interest.
Changing location from the pleasant scenery outside, the car drove into a fancy neighborhood. Then, Ding Qing drove straight to one of the apartment blocks.
She pulled over, then turned and looked at Su Qingsang.
“Mrs. Huo, let me carry your luggage upstairs.”
While speaking, she prepared to come out of the car to take the suitcases. But after opening the car door, she found Su Qingsang still sitting still in the backseat.
She gave a confused look. Ding Qing turned to Su Qingsang and called, “Mrs. Huo?”
Su Qingsang folded her arms and blinked her eyes. She looked at Ding Qing, then at the apartment building. “Who told you I live here?” she asked.
“Huh?” Ding Qing was confused for a moment and then started apologizing, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Huo. I’m sorry. One day, President Huo got drunk and I drove him home. This is the address he gave me at that time. I thought you two live together. I’m sorry.”
Su Qingsang stayed silent. She watched Ding Qing apologize to her with a guilty face. The latter seemed frustrated for failing her job.
The car door was still open. Ding Qing had a foot on the ground as she was preparing to come out of the car, but currently, she was still looking at Su Qingsang.
Suddenly, Su Qingsang leaned slightly forward and stared straight into Ding Qing’s face.
Her calm face surprisingly exuded a strong vibe. That was what she had unwittingly learned from Huo Jinyao during all those times she had spent with him.
“Did you say that one day, Jinyao gave you this address when you drove him home?”
Ding Qing shrank backward slightly, looking as if she did not understand why Su Qingsang suddenly changed her attitude.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Huo. I should have asked you first.”
“Ask me?” Su Qingsang asked, nodding heavily. “You should have, because Huo Jinyao doesn’t live here.”
Ding Qing blinked, her pretty face wearing a questioning look. “Pre-President Huo doesn’t live here?”
She acted like she was really confused. However, Su Qingsang didn’t believe that it was real at all.
Su Qingsang didn’t answer her question but continued staring at her face. Her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see straight into the woman’s heart.
Ding Qing tried her best to stay calm. She didn’t seem to panic even a little, under that intense gaze from Su Qingsang.
She spent merely two seconds to calm herself down. She turned around, then started talking a little awkwardly. “Mrs. Huo, maybe you can tell me where you live.”
Su Qingsang didn’t respond to her, but took out the phone and called Huo Jinyao.
Ding Qing watched her dial the number, staying composed.
Su Qingsang was looking at her too. Seeing how cool the woman was, she began to really admire her ability.
She only wished that Ding Qing would stay this calm later on.
The call wasn’t answered. Su Qingsang patiently heard the phone ring.
About one minute later, the ringing stopped. Ding Qing didn’t change her expression, but she knew inside her heart that she was slightly relieved.
Su Qingsang gave a faint smile, and once again called Huo Jinyao.
The weather in Rong City was pleasant. Su Qingsang had taken an early flight, so it was about lunchtime at the moment.
Sunlight shone into the car through the window, made Su Qingsang’s face look extra fair, toned with a faint glow.
The call was finally answered. Su Qingsang’s expression changed instantly. The fierce look on her face was replaced with a touch of gentleness.
Ding Qing was looking at her. She, of course, didn’t miss the change in Su Qingsang’s expression. She pressed her lips slightly together, but still acted perfectly calm.
“Qingsang, have you gotten home?”
It was Huo Jinyao’s voice. It sounded like he was still in the meeting because through the phone, Su Qingsang could hear the sorting of files and the sound of people typing away on the keyboards.
“Em. It’s about lunchtime. Are you still working?” Su Qingsang had her eyes on Ding Qing while talking.
“Yeah,” Huo Jinyao nodded. He glanced at Yang Wenchang and signaled for the latter to go out. “I sent someone to pick you up. Did she get you? Are you home yet?”
Huo Jinyao’s meeting had just been over. He had gone to the bathroom after the meeting and heard his phone ringing when he came out.
“Yes. I just want to ask you something. Do you have properties in Minghua Xindu?”
“Minghua Xindu?” Huo Jinyao didn’t know why Su Qingsang suddenly mentioned that. “Yeah, I have two apartments. The project was developed by Tianyu Group. I saved two apartments for myself. What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about that?”
“Nothing. I was just passing by, and I found the neighborhood quite nice.”
Su Qingsang noticed Ding Qing turning up the corners of her lips slightly when Huo Jinyao said that he did own apartments in the area.
“The neighborhood is nice indeed, but not as good as where we now live. Also, the place is a little far away from my company. But if you like it, we can move there. I’ll send people to make it ready.”
“Do you have two apartments here?”
“Yeah. I was going to live there myself, so one of them is furnished. But then I decided not to live there, so I asked Wenchang to rent it out for me. The other one isn’t finished yet. You can’t live there now, but I can have it furnished if you like. We can get it furnished in any way you like.”
“No need. I like our current apartment fine. I’m not planning on moving houses at the moment.”
Then, Su Qingsang added, “I haven’t even gotten a chance to live in the house that my mom has bought me yet. But I think you can get it furnished and then rent it out too.”
“I have no time for that kind of thing,” said Huo Jinyao. He was so busy. He really had no time for small things like that. “Mohan wanted the apartment earlier, but later on, his head office moved somewhere else, so I kept the apartment.”
Su Qingsang stopped asking questions. She knew everything she wanted to know. Looking at Ding Qing who still seemed very calm, she was really impressed.
“You haven’t had lunch yet, have you?”
“No. Wenchang has ordered us food. Someone from the lobby will bring it to me later.” Huo Jinyao looked at the time. “Have you had lunch yet?”
“No. I’ve told Ms. Yu to prepare lunch. It’ll be ready when I get home.”
“Good,” Huo Jinyao said. Then, something crossed his mind. “You still haven’t gone home?”
She should have arrived home already.
“No.” Su Qingsang looked at Ding Qing, raised her brows slightly, and said, “I think Miss. Ding doesn’t know the way. She drove me to the wrong place.”
Huo Jinyao knitted his brows and asked, “she did?”
“Yeah,” Su Qingsang said with a smile. “I guess our home is a little too hard to find.”
Finally, Ding Qing changed her expression.
Huo Jinyao sensitively detected that something was probably wrong. “Put Ding Qing on the phone.” Both the look on his face and his voice grew cold as ice when he said that.
