Su Yuntang was furious beyond words, he immediately tried to struggle free, but found his wrist was as though being clamped by iron, unable to move at all.

“You., let go of me…”

Just as he got his words out, there was a ‘crack’ sound of a dislocated bone.

Su Yuntang only felt a sharp, intense pain in his wrist, resulting in a suppressed groan.

He, who had been at high positions for many years, cherished within greater bounds, and even receiving respect from those who met him. When had he ever suffered such physical torment?

Quickly, his face distorted, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and as the force steadily intensified, he clenched his teeth; even his body began to tremble from pain.

As for the others, they were all somewhat dumbfounded.

Especially Qiao Zixin.

She discovered that this man was actually that top-quality man she had met the other day!

His sudden appearance now seemed like the descent of a divine being, his height close to one meter ninety, long and even, merely standing there casually made him exceptionally upright, giving off an arrogant and noble aura.

Contrary to the casual attire he had on that day, today he was wearing a neatly ironed shirt and trousers, even sporting a tie. The whole person exuded the mature charm of a business elite, overshadowing any boss or young master she had dated before.

He was like a shining entity, completely capturing her gaze, making her almost infatuated. Her heart was melting and floating, and she couldn’t respond at all.

“Ashen!” Huo Qinyu was the first to react, “That’s your father-in-law, quickly let go of his hand.”

Huo Jingshen pursed his thin lips, waiting for a few seconds, only then slowly let go.

When he spoke next, his tone was flat and gentle, and was even somewhat polite, “What happened to my father-in-law, who upset you and made you so angry?”

Su Yuntang, gripping his numb wrist in pain, had a pallid face, choked with resentment and suffocated, yet he couldn’t say a word.

Such a good son-in-law indeed.

Just a second ago, he nearly believed his hand was about to snap!

Now he is acting like a humble junior, even using the honorary title…

Huo Jingshen bowed his head slightly and looked at Su Wanwan, “Did she behave badly again, causing the elder to be angry even when she returned home?”

Su Wanwan remained silent, possibly due to the scare, her face was pale and she was still in a daze.

“It’s all a misunderstanding.” Jiang Yi explained weakly, “I accidentally fell a while ago upstairs and injured my waist, Yuntang was too worried, it has nothing to do with Wanwan.”

Su Yanyan called out, “Mom, you clearly just…”

The words that followed had been forcibly stopped by Jiang Yi’s warning gaze.

“That’s good.” Huo Jingshen raised his eyebrows, his tone steady, “My wife is still very young; if she has offended anyone with her words or actions, I hope the adults can be more forgiving.”

He did put on a quite courteous demeanor, making Jiang Yi’s laughter seem additionally strained.

But one cannot deny it, the initially tense atmosphere in the living room was slightly eased.

“Ashen, why are you just getting here now?” Huo Qinyu changes the subject.

In the past, she always felt that Huo Jingshen was quite aloof. His interactions with others were lukewarm. Considering that he had been living abroad in the United Kingdom for many years, and didn’t have much interaction, it seemed normal that they were not close. But after being in contact with him for these past days, she realized she was wrong.

The way he hurt Su Yuntang just now, without seemingly using much force, caused him to hurt so much that he couldn’t speak. His technique obviously came from martial arts training, knowing how to cause pain without damaging the muscles and bones.

He was ruthless, not caring that Su Yuntang was his father-in-law; even then, he swiftly switched to an extremely respectful attitude. No one could say anything against him, as he was both the perpetrator and mediator.

“Just got off work.” Huo Jingshen responded indifferently, “I came to pick my wife up for dinner back home.”

After that, he looked at Su Xueqin, “Grandpa, I won’t disturb your gathering. I’ll take Wanwan home now, the elders at home are urging.”

“Okay.” Su Xueqin nodded his head and did not obstruct him.

Under everyone’s gaze, Huo Jingshen placed his hand on Su Wanwan’s shoulder, leading her to leave.

The living room fell into silence.

Nobody spoke until Su Xueqin’s aged yet coldly angry voice rang out, “Yuntang, come with me to the study.”

Su Yuntang, clutching his wrist, gritted his teeth in pain and followed behind..
