Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 721 - 701: The Two Actually Got Married
Before Su Yan left, Jiayi was just a nameless woman who’d had a child for Huo Zhenyang.
Now, she’d already become the young mistress of the Huo Family, the wife of the mayor.
Huo Zhenyang and her wedding, Su Yan didn’t attend, but the stroke-ridden Huo Tianpei wanted to see it, so Ade sent over the video.
In the video, Su Yan personally watched how Jiayi step by step became Huo Zhenyang’s wife.
A shadow fell over Su Yan’s heart, her gaze also darkening considerably.
Originally planning to deal with her politely, seeing her so impolite, Su Yan also repressed her smile, "Xiaoyi, are you rushing us to leave now?"
Jiayi couldn’t be bothered to beat around the bush, lightly smiled, "Your intuition has always been accurate."
Su Yan’s complexion turned a slight purple, yet she hooked her lips, doing her best to contain her anger.
Indeed, she was the young mistress of the Huo Family, and had given the Huo Family a healthy grandson.
In her eyes, she was still just a servant of the Huo Family, just someone Huo Zhenyang sent back to America, to be a personal attendant by the old master’s side, of course she had the audacity to send her away now.
Upon this thought, the smile Su Yan had hooked turned into a stiff smirk, flickering with an indescribable superiority, as if she couldn’t wait to see the surprise that would come later.
Jiayi believed that all her grievances with Su Yan had ended the moment she accompanied Huo Tianpei back to America for his convalescence.
From then on, they were strangers.
If Su Yan had simply come back today to see Zaizai under Huo Tianpei’s instructions, Jiayi might not have thought much of it.
But Su Yan deliberately brought Xiaolei with her, which inevitably made Jiayi feel repulsed.
Xiaolei, seeing Su Yan glance at her, caught the hint. She picked up her lips, revealing a subtle smile difficult to detect, and stepped forward with light steps. Her tone sounded like she was trying to mediate, yet it was filled with the anticipation of watching a good show,
"Cousin-in-law, don’t you know yet?"
Jiayi’s brows slightly furrowed, "What do you mean?"
Xiaolei looked at Su Yan, then said to Jiayi, "Su Yan and Cousin Gu, they’ve already registered their marriage in America, it’s just not publicly announced yet. I’ve only just found out about it..."
Upon this declaration, the hospital room suddenly plunged into a nadir, as if the air itself had frozen.
Auntie Li had just entered the room from outside when she heard these words, and her jaw almost dropped!
She hadn’t misheard, had she? Su Yan and the old master—they’d actually gotten married?
But after the shock, it wasn’t so surprising.
Su Yan had been by Huo Tianpei’s side for over four years.
Huo Tianpei’s daily care had always been managed by Su Yan, and he’d always valued her.
Jiayi’s shock wasn’t any shallower than Auntie Li’s, she didn’t speak for a long time, her heart filled with more than a twinge of regret.
Su Yan and Huo Tianpei had only returned to America for a few months.
Unexpectedly, within these few months, Su Yan had actually secured Huo Tianpei.
And it was a secret registration.
This matter, probably even Huo Zhenyang didn’t know about yet.
Indeed, how could Su Yan possibly let Huo Zhenyang know?
If he knew, he would definitely try to stop it.
No matter what methods Su Yan had used, Jiayi felt somewhat sickened.
No wonder she felt Su Yan was different than before, it turns out—
She’d actually become the matriarch of the Huo Family, Huo Tianpei’s third wife.
Seeing Jiayi remaining silent for so long, Xiaolei assumed she was overwhelmed and, glancing at Su Yan, whispered a reminder,
"...So, sister-in-law, Miss Su now, in terms of status, is your brother’s stepmother, your mother-in-law. By all accounts, you should be more polite to her."
Jiayi’s gaze leisurely circled around Su Yan, and it was obvious that the term ’mother-in-law’ amused her greatly, "When did this happen? We haven’t heard a whisper of it here in China."
It’s not uncommon for a young woman to be paired with an older man in marriage.
A man like Huo Tianpei, with his power and status, can’t possibly be without a woman by his side.
Sometimes, a man’s love is one thing, but his physical needs and psychological desires are another.
It was for this reason that, even though he deeply loved his late first wife, Huo Tianpei still needed a woman to manage his household and accompany him, which is why he remarried Yao Zhenru after the mother of Huo Zhenyang passed away.
After Yao Zhenru, it wasn’t surprising for him to remarry, and taking a younger bride was also quite normal.
Many wealthy men remarry their longtime secretaries or nurses after being widowed, which has become a sort of late-life marital trend in wealthy circles.
But the union of Su Yan and Huo Tianpei disgusted her deeply.
For Su Yan, a man older than her own father could certainly not be true love.
But regardless, through this union, Su Yan had become entrenched in the Huo Family.
And she had even become the esteemed Madam Huo.
Su Yan caught the irony on Jiayi’s face and, with a slight arch of her eyebrows, calmly responded, "It happened last month. Tianpei is still unwell and it wasn’t convenient to hold a wedding banquet. I didn’t want to make a fuss, and after discussing it, we decided to keep everything low-key and simple. I was about to discuss this matter with Young Master Huo, but then Ade called to say that Zaizai was injured, so I came to visit him on behalf of Tianpei and also to explain in person."
She now referred to the old master as Tianpei.
How affectionate.
She obviously considered herself the rightful Mrs. Huo.
Even though she had already digested her breakfast and lunch, Jiayi now felt a queasy sensation.
Finally, unable to hold back, she lifted her eyelids, "I remember when the old master protected you, insisting you should not be fired and saying that he treated you like a daughter. Is this really what a father and daughter should do?"
Su Yan ignored her mockery, her face clearly bearing the faint glow of a victor, "I’ve been with Tianpei for so many years, and people develop feelings. Age is not a problem, nor is disparity in status; love alone is enough. Tianpei’s recent illness made him realize he can’t live without me, and I realized how important he is to me. Anyway, my feelings for Tianpei are genuine."
Jiayi felt even sicker.
She really couldn’t imagine a normal young woman falling in love with an old man who was bedridden with hemiplegia and needed help for every personal need.
Love? Genuine?
She couldn’t believe Su Yan could say such things.
But then again, if she could marry the father of the man she had once had a crush on, what else couldn’t she say?
Seeing Auntie Li come in, Jiayi no longer felt like speaking, her almond-shaped eyes cold as she motioned to see the guest out, "Auntie Li, are all the discharge procedures for Zaizai completed?"
"Yes, young madam, everything’s all set," Auntie Li regained her composure and walked in.
"Pack up Zaizai’s clothes and toys. Let’s get ready to leave the hospital."
"All right, young madam."
Su Yan suddenly spoke up, stopping her, "No. Zaizai can’t be discharged yet."
Auntie Li was puzzled and didn’t understand what Su Yan meant.
Jiayi’s face darkened as she looked towards Su Yan.
Su Yan quietly said, "The test results for Zaizai are known to both the old master and myself."
Jiayi’s expression shifted slightly, then she said, "Auntie Li, please take the young master out to the lawn for a walk first."
Auntie Li picked up Zaizai and left.
Su Yan took a deep look at Zaizai’s retreating figure, facing Jiayi:
"Zaizai carries the disease-causing gene of the Guinness family’s genetic illness, and Tianpei, after learning this, had a significant rise in blood pressure and has been so worried that he can hardly sleep these past few days. This time, in addition to visiting Zaizai, Tianpei also asked me to bring Zaizai back to America. Zaizai won’t be returning to Disheng for now; I’m planning to arrange for his trip to America tomorrow."
