Chapter 118 - I’ll Set the Dogs Loose If They Dare to Come!

In the beginning, Huo Qihan and his wife had paved the way for the arranged marriage through the close relationship of Mrs. Huo and Cheng Xiuqin. The Huos had their eyes on the connections of the Cheng family and knew that Su Yayan was a favorite of Grandpa Cheng and the Cheng family.

They wanted to use Su Yayan to get into the good books of the Cheng family so they could forge connections with the important figures affiliated with the Cheng family and improve their family’s position.

It was a pity that the lofty scheme the Huo couple had devised had ultimately fallen short of their expectations because of their stupid son Huo Shaofeng.

Further, the Cheng family’s network was so robust that the sudden defeat of the Cheng family in the past life was inconceivable to Su Yayan.

Now that she knew that she was in the fictitious world of a book and that the protagonists of this book were Huo Shaofeng and Wen Jingping, everything became clear to Su Yayan.

In the face of tremendous luck, no matter how large one’s network was, it was no match for the plot armor of those two brainless fools.

Su Yayan had recalled the calculated scheming of the Huo family from her past life. However, Cheng Xiuqin and the others suddenly come to their senses only after receiving a call from Mrs. Huo this morning.

How long had the matter with Huo Shaofeng passed? Huo Qihan and his wife did not come to apologize earlier on but decided to show their face as soon as the Cheng family’s patriarch arrived. The drunkard’s intention was not to drink, and the Huo family’s intentions were crystal clear.

Recalling the Huo couple’s enthusiasm for this marriage before, what more did they not understand?

“I was reminiscing about our relationship from our schooling days and treated her as a sister. She, on the other hand, had accompanied her husband and son to prey on my daughter and family.” Cheng Xiuqin’s face was as black as a coal mine.

After her outburst of anger, she rejoiced. “Fortunately, you did not marry Huo Shaofeng.” It was a good thing that Huo Shaofeng dropped the ball before they could tie the knot.

Otherwise, Su Yayan would have been treated as a stepping stone once she married. With Huo Shaofeng’s temperament, he would have an affair sooner or later.

Maybe when the time came, the Huo family will even help him cover up his misdeeds. After all, seeing the behavior of the two, it was entirely within their capacity to do such a thing.

Cheng Xiuqin became more frightened as she thought about it, and she even became more cautious of Huo Chenhuan. “That Young Uncle Huo is also a Huo family member, will he…”

“No.” Before Cheng Xiuqin could finish speaking, Su Yayan interrupted her first. “He won’t.”

“That’s good.” Cheng Xiuqin was not against him being involved with her daughter and family. The mutual help between relatives was normal to her, but she purely disliked this kind of calculated approach.

Since Su Yayan was so sure, she could only choose to trust her daughter’s decision. No matter what, he was better than that wolf Huo Shaofeng that they had almost invited into their house.

“They called and said they wanted to come to our house. How did you reply to them?”

“How else can I reply?” Cheng Xiuqin snorted coldly. “I simply said that they shouldn’t come so that they won’t upset me when I see them.”

Su Yayan chuckled and laughed. “This is straightforward enough. Did it drive them crazy?”

“If it drives them crazy, so be it. We already had a falling out on both sides anyway. If they really want to go crazy because of this, I will immediately ask your brother to buy a truckful of firecrackers, and we shall set them off for three days and three nights to celebrate the occasion.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m afraid that they will be too thick-skinned, and they will come uninvited after they have gotten over their anger.”

Cheng Xiuqin’s expression changed slightly. “Now that does seem possible! It will not do. Say, I’ll get your dad to borrow some hounds from his friend. I’ll set the dogs loose if they dare to come! They will surely regret it this time.”

Cheng Xiuqin went to look for Mr. Su cheerfully after she finished speaking. Su Yayan glanced at her mother’s departing figure and quietly lit a few candles for the Huo family in her heart.
