Chapter 360 - She Is Not Your Daughter
Chapter 360: She Is Not Your Daughter
Su Chenghui was stunned. “Peizhen…”
Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Xiang Caiping immediately knew that he was in the dark about this matter. The look of fury on her face intensified.
“Look, you had no idea what happened or what your lovely daughter had said,” Xiang Caiping’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “But you still came running here with the burning urgency to settle the score for her?”
“Caiping, I’m not…”
“What? You’re not here to explain things in place of your favorite daughter? You’re not here to settle the score for Li Qianxue’s precious child? Then tell me, what are you here for?”
Su Chenghui grew silent and gazed at Xiang Caiping with an emotional look on his face. Unexpectedly, he could not utter a single word.
“You have nothing to say now, do you?” Xiang Caiping was unwilling to look at Su Chenghui. He had not changed much over the years and was still refined and handsome.
Not only did he age gracefully, but he was more level-headed. He exuded the charisma of a mature man.
However, it did not matter how handsome Su Chenghui looked on the outside now. It was not able to cause her heart to flutter any longer. She only harbored hatred towards him.
“Su Chenghui, I don’t wish to see you anymore. I want you to leave.”
Su Chenghui made no attempt to move. He recalled how Li Qianxue’s demeanor turned steely the previous day when she found out that Su Peizhen had suffered a slap to the face.
He was well aware of Li Qianxue’s character and the limit to her tolerance. Li Qianxue’s bottom line was her children.
To the public, she appeared strong-willed, but when it came to Su Peizhen and Su Yuxin, she was filled with motherly love. Since Su Peizhen suffered a physical attack, Li Qianxue was determined to settle the score.
If she had known that Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping have returned from Japan, she would already have come to confront them.
“Caiping,” Su Chenghui’s eyes flitted close for a moment. He lowered his head and massaged his temples. A strong wave of fatigue once again enveloped him. “You shouldn’t have hit Peizhen.”
If there comes a day in the future when Xiang Caiping gets to know the whole truth, will she regret her actions?
He did not know the answer to his question, but he was sure now that he felt regretful.
It had never occurred to him that Xiang Caiping, who had distanced from him and whom he thought he would never see again, would return one day.
Xiang Caiping was shaking with anger. She stood up and pulled Su Chenghui, who was still spacing out, up from his seat. She dragged him by his arm.
“Get out, get out right now. Su Chenghui, I never want to see you again in my lifetime.”
“Caiping,” at the moment when Su Chenghui was almost at the door, he could not help but shout, “Qingsang is not your daughter at all…”
Xiang Caiping halted her act of pushing him out.
…
The night wind was a little chilly. After coming down the stairs, Shi Mengwan bade Su Qingsang goodnight, left her gift in her friend’s hands, and started to walk to the car.
It was the end of the year and she was still busy with her sketches. She had many matters to juggle.
Su Qingsang felt a little heartache about her and repeatedly told her not to sketch till late. Shi Mengwan waved her hand before driving off.
After Shi Mengwan had left, Su Qingsang turned around and realized that Huo Jinyao had been staring at her.
“What’s the matter?” With him looking at her in this manner, she began to think that there was something on her face.
“Dear,” Huo Jinyao held out his arms to encircle her waist. “I’m a little jealous. You’re so concerned about Shi Mengwan. You don’t care for me this way.”
Su Qingsang looked up at him, feeling exasperated. “Huo Jinyao, aren’t you a little childish?”
“I’m not childish,” Huo Jinyao kissed her on her lips. “I’m your husband, and you’re my wife. You should treat me well.”
“That’s enough,” Su Qingsang rolled her eyes at him and looked up to glance at her apartment unit. There was a tinge of worry in her eyes. “Why do you think my father is here again?”
