To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 334 - Are You Drunk

Chapter 334: Are You Drunk?

A slightly cold look flashed across Li Qianxue’s face as she looked up at the second level of the house. “Your father is upstairs. I don’t know who has provoked him, but he went straight to his study without having any dinner. He has not been out since.”

Su Peizhen looked at Li Qianxue’s expression and then she up at the stairs. “I will check on Father.”

Li Qianxue initially wanted to say that it was not necessary, but in the end, she motioned with her hand to acknowledge Su Peizhen’s words. “Go ahead. If he is drunk, you don’t need to bother about him. Just ask the housekeeper to instruct someone to carry him to the bedroom.”

She felt relieved that Old Master Zhang had been invited to an event today and was not at home. If he had seen how Su Chenghui was behaving, he would have given him a thorough lecture again.

Su Peizhen headed upstairs and once she pushed the door of the study open, she immediately caught a whiff of alcohol.

The smell caused Su Peizhen to knit her brows together. She glanced at Su Chenghui, who was sitting behind the study table.

“Father? Are you alright?”

Su Chenghui had drunk some alcohol, but he was sober. All these years, he had restrained himself and never got really drunk.

When he saw Su Peizhen enter the room, he was momentarily stunned. He put the glass in his hand down. “Peizhen, you’re back?”

“Yes.” Su Peizhen stepped forward and glanced at the tabletop. There were a few empty bottles of alcoholic beverages. She was slightly displeased. “Father, why did you drink so much?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not drunk.”

Su Chenghui sat upright and looked at Su Peizhen. She had a different outlook from the gentle and attractive demeanor Su Qingsang possessed. Su Peizhen’s facial features were bright and beautiful. She resembled neither him nor her mother.

He did not know how it happened, but Su Peizhen actually resembled her grandmother. In the past, Su Chenghui’s mother’s beauty was well recognized.

Su Peizhen’s facial features were very much like her grandmother’s. It was outright beautiful and striking.

“Father, is the company facing any issue?”

Su Peizhen used to help out at the company. However, during this period of time, she had suffered emotionally due to having her engagement with Qiu Yanbo called off. That had caused her to miss work for a few days.

“There’s no issue. If there is, I will take care of it.”

Su Chenghui sat up and fixed his gaze on Su Peizhen. Out of the blue, he reached out to hold her hand. “Peizhen, do you blame me?

“Father, what are you talking about? What would I blame you for?”

Because I…” Su Chenghui went silent for a moment before suddenly shaking his head. “I asked you to apologize to Su Qingsang. Are you blaming me for that?”

“No, this was not your fault.” The people who are at fault are Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao. They bully us just because they can. It’s too much.

“It’s good that you do not blame me.” Su Chenghui seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He did not let go of Su Peizhen’s hand. On the contrary, he gripped it tighter.

“Peizhen, don’t you worry. In the future, all the assets of the Su Family and Li Family will belong to you.”

“Father, what are you driving at?” Su Peizhen was visibly puzzled by Su Chenghui’s words. “There is still my younger brother. Are you drunk?”

“Your younger brother?” Su Chenghui narrowed his eyes and suddenly went silent. “Yes, I’m drunk. Go ahead and rest. Everything is fine.”

“Okay,” Su Peizhen kept feeling that something was amiss, but as she looked at Su Chenghui, she was sure that he was just drunk.

“Rest early too, Father. I’ll go to my room.”

“Alright,” Su Chenghui nodded. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. “Oh, right, during this period of time, you…”

“What is it?”

“No, it’s nothing.” Su Chenghui knew his daughter’s personality. The more she was restricted from doing something, the more she would rebel.

Looking at things from this perspective, he did not need to try and prevent Su Peizhen from looking for trouble with Su Qingsang. He assumed that she would be bent on provoking Su Qingsang if he kept on dissuading her from it.

“I was trying to say that I’ve observed that you’re not in the best of moods lately. If you feel that staying in the country is frustrating for you, just go abroad to have some fun. Paris, Milan, New York…take your pick. I’ll have everything arranged for you.”
