Since Pei Qingqing's father asked, Huo Duan naturally couldn't let Pei Qingqing lose face.
No matter what the other party's intentions were, Huo Duan could not be evasive with an elder.
There was no truth worth hiding, so he answered in his usual manner.
Little did he know, it was precisely because of his words that Pei Qingqing's father once again felt distanced.
Pei Qingqing's father let out a cold laugh, his attitude suddenly turning disdainful.
"If that's the case, splitting the family assets would be tricky. If Qingqing really marries you, she's not marrying to endure hardship; she's marrying to enjoy life."
That suspicious gaze swept up and down, eventually arriving at a conclusion:
"You must know, Qingqing has never suffered in our family. I'm not trying to break you two up—after all, this is your personal relationship and has nothing to do with me—but... I need to make my stance clear to you right now."
