Chapter 263: I Did Nothing Wrong
Su Qingsang looked at Su Peizhen, who was sitting in front of her, not understanding why her sister was looking at her.
It was a Monday and the number of people seeking medical help was especially high. She had been busy the whole afternoon and had originally wanted to rush off for a meal. Su Peizhen, however, had turned up to look for her.
Su Peizhen sat facing Su Qingsang for some time without uttering a word. She bore her eyes into Su Qingsang.
Su Qingsang felt uncomfortable after being scrutinized and she cleared her throat before speaking, “Have you eaten? If you have not, let’s have lunch together.”
She recalled that there was a good café. She was still thinking of hurrying back to work in the afternoon after having her meal.
Su Peizhen remained silent. Her gaze shifted to Su Qingsang’s neck. There were two big marks there.
She was not a naïve young girl and knew what the marks were.
Su Qingsang felt increasingly uneasy about the way Su Peizhen was staring at her. When she realized where Su Peizhen was looking, she felt embarrassment creep up on her.
It was all Huo Jinyao’s fault. He claimed that the weekend getaway at their villa was for her to let her hair down but, in truth, he had only cared about pinning her down and having his way with her all through the weekend.
Conveniently for Huo Jinyao, prior to their weekend getaway, Su Qingsang was touched by his act of introducing her to the public and of showering her with gifts. She could not bear to reject his desires.
The outcome for her was extreme exhaustion. Before she went to work this morning, she had espied the marks on her neck and left home with a scarf.
After being occupied with patients and pregnant women all morning, however, the heat had caused her to remove the scarf.
At this moment, as she was being scrutinized by Su Peizhen, she felt a little distressed. She spoke again, “Why are you looking for me?”
“Su Qingsang, after all the years that you lived with the Su Family, I really was not able to see that you are a force to be reckoned with.”
Su Peizhen was ridiculing and taunting her with her words. Su Peizhen shifted her gaze from the marks on Su Qingsang’s neck to Su Qingsang’s face. This face irked Su Peizhen no matter how she looked at it. It was like a thorn in her flesh.
“You are already married, yet you still cling on to Yanbo. Su Qingsang, don’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”
A shadow crossed Su Qingsang’s face. She stared at Su Peizhen, her face tinged with rage.
“If you came to find me today to throw baseless accusations at me, then I’m sorry, I still have work to tend to.”
She stood up as she spoke, yet Su Peizhen stood up too.
“Did I say anything wrong? Yanbo and I were getting along fine, but because of you, because of your intrusion into our lives, Yanbo has called off our engagement. He…”
“You are wrong.” Su Qingsang bluntly interrupted her. “What happened between you and Qiu Yanbo has nothing to do with me. If you insist on pinning the blame on me, then why did nothing happen between Qiu Yanbo and I when I was living with Su Family for such a long period of time? What happened between you and Qiu Yanbo is a result of problems in your relationship.”
“Su Qingsang.”
“Am I wrong?” Su Qingsang had bright prospects and would never take the blame for this matter. “You can increase your appetite, but you can’t speak carelessly. If there were no problems between you and Qiu Yanbo, nobody would have come between the two of you even if they wanted to. If there was already a problem between the two of you, then even if no one comes between you, the outcome is the same. You are an intelligent person too, so you don’t need me to go over this again for you, right?”
“Are you lecturing me right now?”
“I wouldn’t dare.” Su Qingsang remained composed. “I’m just trying to reason with you.”
“Su Qingsang, don’t be too gleeful. Do you realize that I could take everything away from you?”
“I believe you could.” Su Qingsang nodded. She believed that the Su Family had the ability to do so, but she also believed that Su Peizhen would translate her words into actions. “What would that achieve anyway? Even if you take everything away from me, the truth doesn’t change.”
“Fine. Fine.” Su Peizhen nodded. “So you refuse to acknowledge your mistake?”
“I did nothing wrong, so why should I acknowledge anything?”
