Chapter 636: What’s Going On
Su Qingsang looked at Li Qianxue in disbelief. She really didn’t believe that Li Qianxue would forgive Su Chenghui so easily.
Su Chenghui looked at the mother and daughter inside calmly, as if he didn’t feel Su Qingsang’s probing gaze. He had just ordered breakfast and it was already served.
“Qianxue, your breakfast is here. You should eat first.”
Li Qianxue stood there without moving. Su Chenghui glanced at Su Qingsang again. “Qingsang, you should eat some too.”
“Mom?”
What was going on? Su Qingsang looked at Su Chenghui and then at Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue’s expression didn’t change. She calmly dragged out her suitcase.
“Qingsang, let’s go. Pack your things and we can leave.”
Su Qingsang blinked. Did this mean that she hadn’t forgiven Su Chenghui? Then why were the two of them living together?
Su Chenghui’s eyes flashed with distress because of Li Qianxue’s actions.
“Qianxue, even if you want to leave, you have to eat.”
Li Qianxue stopped packing. She turned around and looked at Su Chenghui without the slightest cordiality.
“Su Chenghui, our Li family hasn’t fallen to the point where we can’t even afford to eat.”
Su Chenghui’s face was ashen. Although Su Qingsang knew that all of this was because of Su Chenghui’s own fault, she couldn’t bear to see the usually gentle and refined Su Chenghui show such an expression in front of her.
Especially since he was her father, this feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She turned her face away from Su Chenghui and went to help Li Qianxue pack her luggage.
She was here to apologize today. She couldn’t stand on the wrong side again and make Li Qianxue unhappy.
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue, who was still uncomfortable just a moment ago, but now, she was full of energy because she was going to leave this place and leave him.
Li Qianxue was eager to be rid of him. This realization made his heart feel anguished.
Unfortunately, the current Li Qianxue didn’t care about Su Chenghui’s feelings. She had been here for two days and didn’t have much stuff. Her luggage wasn’t even moved because she was in a bad mood.
Everything was packed in less than ten minutes. Su Qingsang wanted to help Li Qianxue with her luggage, but Li Qianxue wouldn’t let her do it. She pulled her luggage and walked out.
Su Chenghui followed behind her. “Qianxue, let me help you.”
“No need.” Li Qianxue avoided his hand and went downstairs with Su Qingsang.
When they reached the lobby, she turned around and walked to the front desk. Su Qingsang didn’t know what she wanted to do. She followed behind her, but she took out her card and paid for the room for the past few days.
What kind of situation was this?
The moment Li Qianxue put the card into her bag, she saw the shock on Su Qingsang’s face. She smiled slightly.
“I don’t even eat his breakfast. Naturally, I don’t need him to pay for my room.”
Li Qianxue was drawing a line between her and Su Chenghui. Li Qianxue was Li Qianxue, and Su Chenghui was Su Chenghui. The two of them had no relationship at all.
Not knowing what to say, Su Qingsang stood at the side. One was her father, and the other was her mother.
Although they weren’t close, the situation in front of her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Su Qingsang went into the driver’s car. As soon as she approached, the driver came over and took Li Qianxue’s luggage, then put it in the trunk.
The mother and daughter got in the car. Su Qingsang glanced at the hotel when the car left the hotel. She didn’t know if her eyes were playing tricks on her, but she actually saw Su Chenghui chasing after them down the hall.
“Mom?”
“Yes?”
Su Qingsang, who had talked things out with Li Qianxue, wasn’t as nervous as before, but more casual.
“I just want to ask, do you really hate my dad that much? Just because he switched me and Su Peizhen’s identities?”
Li Qianxue didn’t expect Su Qingsang to ask her such a question. She looked at Su Qingsang and shook her head gently.
“No.”
Some things were already in the past. She didn’t want to mention it, but not mentioning it didn’t mean that those things didn’t exist.
“Things between your Dad and I ended a long time ago. Knowing that he secretly replaced my child was only the last straw.”
Su Qingsang was silent. She had some understanding of the way Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui had interacted before.
“My father is really regretting it now. I can see that.”
She was stating a statement. She didn’t mean to take sides, nor was she speaking up for Su Chenghui.
“Just because he regrets it, I should forgive him?”
Li Qianxue retorted and then shook her head.
“Qingsang, I don’t mind telling you. Your father hadn’t been torturing me just for a day or two. It wasn’t just a month or two, or even just a year or two. For more than 20 uninterrupted years, he continuously stabbed a knife into my heart.”
She rarely talked about these things with Su Qingsang. In the past, she always felt unwilling to mention it in front of her daughter, but now she realized that there was nothing that she couldn’t say.
“I was willing to endure for Su Peizhen, for Yuxin, and even for your grandfather. But now, I don’t want to endure anymore.”
She was also pampered and spoiled by Old Master Li as she grew up. She was also an ordinary person with dignity, self-respect, sadness, and sorrow.
Su Chenghui’s injury to her was like a machete that was continuously swung at a big tree, knife after knife. She used to think that she could heal herself.
She also tried her best to heal herself after every injury. But now, she didn’t want to be hurt anymore.
“Qingsang, if your body is injured, even if you recover one day, it will still leave a scar, let alone the injury in your heart.”
Su Qingsang understood, and stopped persuading her. She slowly moved her face closer to Li Qianxue and rubbed her shoulder.
“If you don’t want to forgive him, then don’t. You’re my mother anyway. I’ll support you no matter what you do.”
“You.” Li Qianxue was relieved and caressed Su Qingsang’s face. “Even if you don’t support me, you won’t change my decision.”
“So I have to support you even more.” Su Qingsang smiled and said, “To bolster your confidence.”
Li Qianxue smiled and felt more assured. She couldn’t be bothered to hate the person she wanted to hate now.
But she would definitely cherish the person she wanted to cherish. Just like what Su Qingsang said before, she was still young, and only in her forties.
She had the chance to slowly walk out of the trauma of the past and live the rest of her life happily.
…
Xiang Caiping’s sudden departure actually made Su Qingsang feel a little unaccustomed.
But Li Qianxue’s arrival weakened that unaccustomed feeling. She took Li Qianxue to a nearby tea house for breakfast. Then, they went home together.
After entering the door, she led Li Qianxue to the guest room. Just as the two of them put down their things, Aunt ieYu came to look for them.
“Madam, those moon cakes are cold now. They can be put away. Didn’t sister Xiang buy the packaging bag before? Do you know where it is?”
The moon cake ingredients were all bought by Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping, so Auntie Yu didn’t know where they put them.
Su Qingsang was about to answer, but she suddenly thought of Li Qianxue, who was still in the room.
“Wait a moment, I’ll come back to get it for you.”
Auntie Yu left, and Su Qingsang looked at Li Qianxue nervously. “Mom, um, before –”
“You don’t have to say it, I know.”
Li Qianxue knew that Xiang Caiping had made moon cakes for Su Qingsang. She also knew that the food Su Qingsang ate every day was made by Xiang Caiping.
“Mom?” Although she had already said it, Su Qingsang was still a little nervous.
“It’s okay, I’m not envious.” Li Qianxue looked at Su Qingsang very seriously. “When I came to look for you yesterday, she told me to give her two days. She said that she promised to make moon cakes for you to eat.”
Yes, Xiang Caiping promised, but she left right after she finished. They drove her away indirectly.
“I’m not envious, although I am a little unhappy.”
Li Qianxue didn’t mind letting Su Qingsang know her dissatisfaction. She now understood that although they were mother and daughter, and were related by blood, they had never lived together after all. Whether it was her or Su Qingsang, they both needed time to adapt to such a relationship to increase their intimacy…
The most obvious way was to let the other party know her thoughts and understand her thoughts.
“However, you chose me in the end. I’m very happy.”
Li Qianxue’s tone contained a hidden sense of pride. Su Qingsang could discern it and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she stepped forward and hugged her arm.
“Of course I chose you, Mom. You’re my biological mother.”
“Yes, I’m your biological mother.”
In jus this regard, she had already beaten Xiang Caiping more than halfway, so why should she be unhappy? Why should she ruin her mood because of Xiang Caiping?
No matter what the reason was, twenty-six years ago, Su Chenghui chose her.
Twenty-six years later, her daughter chose her again. She won. Didn’t she?
Li Qianxue stayed. The next day was the mid-autumn festival. Early in the morning, Su Qingsang had received a call from Liu Tongjia, asking her to return to the old residence for the festival.
This year, Li Qianxue was also here. Su Qingsang couldn’t let her be alone. Liu Tongjia also knew that Li Qianxue was here, so she asked Su Qingsang to bring her along.
Because she had some conflict with Li Qianxue previously, Liu Tongjia was afraid that she would be uncomfortable and would be unwilling to come, so she even personally called Li Qianxue.
This was considered giving Li Qianxue face. Li Qianxue knew that this was Liu Tongjia’s gesture of goodwill. She also understood that Liu Tongjia’s current behavior was mostly because of the child in her daughter’s belly.
But no matter what, at least Su Qingsang wouldn’t have any mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problems in the future. This was more than enough to make her feel at ease.
Even if Huo Jinyao really didn’t care, if Su Qingsang was always on bad terms with Liu Tongjia, it would still be very troublesome.
Now that Liu Tongjia was willing to humb;e herself, it was enough to make Li Qianxue feel at ease.
The Huo family’s mid-autumn festival was similar to the dragon boat festival. Huo Yangxiu’s family and Huo Yangyuan’s family all came.
Because Su Qingsang was pregnant with twins, she undoubtedly became the focus of everyone’s attention.
Among those who cared about her, Huo Mingliang’s family was the only exception.
Huo Yifan was still in prison. Nian Chunya went to see him a few times. Every time she saw him, she felt more distressed with every additional visit.
She didn’t care what her son did. She blamed Huo Jinyao for being cold-blooded and Old Master Huo for being heartless.
Now that she saw that Su Qingsang was not only pregnant, but also with twins, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.
