Betrayed by her best friend, Su Miao is heartbroken and goes to a bar. There, she teases a powerful man in Hai City and, coincidentally, gets a marriage certificate.
After marriage, a certain...
In an open-air teahouse, the imposing Old Master Huo sat upright opposite Su Miao, his eyes sharp and stern. Su Miao, sitting opposite him, felt extremely uncomfortable. She finally understood why Huo Yanting had such a powerful aura.
It's all because of strong genes.
The Huo family members are not people to be trifled with.
"You are Su Miao?" Old Master Huo asked knowingly, his aged voice carrying an unbearable low pressure. Every word seemed to hit Su Miao's heart like a heavy stone, making her tremble.
"Hmm." The sound that came from deep in Su Miao's throat trembled slightly. The old man's aura was too powerful, and Su Miao sat opposite him, her whole body tense.
"Hmph!" The old man snorted inexplicably, clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.
Su Miao shuddered and shrank back. She looked up at Old Master Huo blankly, then lowered her head again under his imposing presence.
"Su Miao, do you think you're worthy of being with my grandson?" The old man didn't mince words and spoke directly.
Su Miao understood immediately. She knew that this old man hadn't come to her just to invite her for tea. Sure enough, his purpose had been revealed.
As for his question, Su Miao had seriously considered it before. She knew very well that she was not worthy of being with Huo Yanting. However, she was very happy during the time she was with Huo Yanting.
Moreover, Huo Yanting basically indulged her and spoiled her, and even arranged for her to go back to school.
Su Miao felt grateful and admiring towards Huo Yanting and wanted to be with him. However, just as the old man had said, she and Huo Yanting were from completely different worlds.
"I...I know my status is lowly, but I will try my best." Su Miao didn't want to give up on this marriage. If given the chance, she would work very hard to hold onto it!
"Effort? What's the value of your effort? Do you think you can reach a level that satisfies me for the rest of your life?" Old Master Huo scoffed, looking down on Su Miao in his heart.
"Grandpa, you can't say that..."
"Who gave you permission to call me grandpa? I don't have a lowly granddaughter like you!"
Su Miao's words were interrupted by the old man's stern voice. His words were like a sharp blade, piercing Su Miao's heart.
Lowly? Who in this world wants to be born inferior?
Su Miao let out a soft breath, adjusted her breathing rhythm, and spoke again, "Grandpa Huo, I don't know what standards you use to judge your granddaughter-in-law, but I want to say that I know the Huo family is one of the top families in the country. I may never reach that level even if I work my whole life, but I will try my best to make myself worthy of Huo Yanting and worthy of standing by Huo Yanting's side."
"Effort? I already said, your current efforts are worthless. Su Miao, if you really know what's good for you, you should divorce Huo Yanting immediately, instead of trying to manipulate this marriage and gain something from it."
Su Miao's face paled. She had never expected to get anything from Huo Yanting. Her marriage with Huo Yanting was indeed somewhat inexplicable. However, it seemed that Huo Yanting had feelings for her, and she had feelings for Huo Yanting. Why should two people who had feelings for each other separate?
Doesn't this Grandpa Huo have any feelings?
"I didn't want anything." Su Miao tried her best to explain, but it all sounded weak and powerless in front of Old Master Huo.
