Seeing how Huo Jinyao took care of her daughter, Xiang Caiping was actually very pleased.
She sat down on the sofa opposite Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang. She sat upright with her hands on her knees. For a moment, Su Qingsang thought she was looking at an ancient person.
"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite."
She saw that Xiang Caiping's face was a little pale because she called her auntie, but Su Qingsang couldn't bring herself to call her mother.
Huo Jinyao reached out to hold Su Qingsang's hand. Su Qingsang glared at him. However, he stubbornly held Su Qingsang's hand and wouldn't let go.
When Su Qingsang was about to pull her hand back, he suddenly looked at Xiang Caiping and said, "Auntie, can I ask why it took you so long to recognize Qingsang?"
Su Qingsang had asked this question just now, but Huo Jinyao's tone and expression were completely different.
He was full of vigor and his eyes were sharp. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was clear that he wanted to protect Su Qingsang.
Su Qingsang forgot to pull her hand back. Xiang Caiping didn't expect Huo Jinyao to be so fierce, but she still tried her best to explain.
"I, I feel sorry for her, and I don't want to disturb her life."
"Then why are you disturbing her now?" Huo Jinyao put his hand on Su Qingsang's shoulder and held Su Qingsang's hand tightly with the other.
"I heard Qingsang's name on TV last time, so I wanted to see her." Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang with an eager expression. "I want to see her, to know if she's doing well. I want to — "
"You've seen her now. And then? "
Huo Jinyao interrupted her bluntly. Su Qingsang was a little surprised by his sharp attitude, but she didn't say anything to stop him.
"I —" Xiang Caiping's lips trembled a little. She really wanted to see if her daughter was doing well before leaving.
But after spending so much time with her, she began to feel that it wasn't enough.
She wanted to make it up to her daughter, to spend more time with her daughter, and to give Su Qingsang the motherly love she had accumulated over the past twenty years. Maybe Su Qingsang didn't need it anymore, but she wanted to give it.
She didn't speak, but Huo Jinyao could tell what Xiang Caiping meant. His expression didn't change. "Auntie, please forgive me for saying something unpleasant. You may have a good life, but have you ever thought about Qingsang?"
"I —"
"Qingsang, you've been living well. We're happy that you didn't show up. But your sudden appearance is undoubtedly a reminder to Qingsang that she is an illegitimate daughter, the child of a mistress. Isn't it? "
"No, I didn't." Xiang Caiping panicked and looked at Su Qingsang anxiously. For a moment, she didn't think about what Huo Jinyao meant by 'illegitimate daughter'.
"I'm not a mistress. Qingsang, you have to believe me. She really wasn't a mistress. I, I met my father before the time. Li Qianxue came later. We — "
Xiang Caiping was incoherent. She tried hard to explain herself. But he didn't know where to start. The story was too long, so long that she felt that she couldn't explain it clearly in one or two sentences.
Su Qingsang was indeed very curious about what had happened back then. However, what Huo Jinyao said did make sense.
"Auntie." Huo Jinyao interrupted her. What happened in the past was not important at all. What was important was the grievance Su Qingsang had suffered all these years, and the pain she had suffered because of the word "illegitimate daughter".
