Su Qingsang went to the front seat and opened the door for her. Li Qianxue didn't get in the car in a hurry. Instead, she looked a little confused.
"What?" Su Qingsang was a little confused. Thinking of Li Qianxue's behavior just now, she looked up at her, her eyes focused.
"Nothing. Let's go back first. "
"Okay." Su Qingsang nodded and took Li Qianxue to the Imperial Court.
Along the way, she talked to Li Qianxue, half out of concern and half out of curiosity.
What on earth had happened to make Li Qianxue lose her composure like that?
"Mom, Yuxin is about to take the college entrance examination, right?"
"Yes. In a few days. "Li Qianxue answered absentmindedly.
"Then, do you want me to go back and cheer him on?" She had less contact with Su Yuxin recently. Knowing that he was about to take the college entrance examination, Su Qingsang didn't want to disturb him.
"No need." Li Qianxue smiled. After being here for so long, her face showed a rare bit of pride. "He said that he doesn't need us to accompany him. He can do it himself. He also said that if I go to accompany him, it will put him under pressure. "
In fact, according to Su Yuxin's grades, the school had already recommended him to the province's A University.
However, he didn't want to study at A University. He still wanted to take the exam himself.
Although Li Qianxue loved her children, she was quite principled in some aspects.
Su Peizhen also took the college entrance examination by herself. She was admitted to a foreign university by herself.
Needless to say, Su Qingsang also worked hard to get into a medical university.
Now that Su Yuxin had such a heart and ambition, Li Qianxue felt very good.
The car soon drove to the Imperial Court. Su Qingsang parked the car and took the luggage.
"Mom. Let's go. "
Li Qianxue followed Su Qingsang into the elevator. Li Qianxue thought about the relationship between Xiang Caiping and Su Qingsang again.
She couldn't help but look at Su Qingsang. "Qingsang? I actually wanted to ask you just now, I just wanted to ask you … "
"That's right, that's right, have you seen …"
Su Qingsang turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.
"Su Chenghui."
The name Xiang Caiping lingered in her mouth, but she didn't say it out loud.
"I want to ask you, have you seen Su Chenghui recently?"
"No."
Su Qingsang nodded. She finally had an explanation for Li Qianxue's loss of composure.
He felt a little bitter. Even if Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui divorced, it would still be a pity. However, the influence of Su Chenghui seemed to still be there.
"You've never seen him before?"
Su Qingsang didn't understand what Li Qianxue meant, but she still shook her head.
"Nope. Mom, did you meet Dad? "
Li Qianxue stopped talking and sneered inwardly.
Su Chenghui was a master liar. Fortunately, she no longer had any expectations for him, so naturally, she wouldn't believe that what he said was the truth.
She had only been to Rong City once since she returned to Lin City. It was such a coincidence that she ran into Su Chenghui.
How many times did he come every month? What was his purpose? He was probably looking for Xiang Caiping.
No, maybe there was Su Peizhen as well.
Thinking of Su Peizhen, Li Qianxue's face darkened even more.
The daughter she had raised for more than 20 years was no longer her daughter.
Not only did she refuse to acknowledge her, she even —
"Mom? Mom? "
Su Qingsang's words brought Li Qianxue back to her senses. She realized that they had already gotten out of the elevator.
Su Qingsang opened the door and let Li Qianxue in. She carried Li Qianxue's luggage to the guest room.
The last time Li Qianxue came, she hadn't had a chance to tour the place.
This time, she wasn't in the mood to tour. She sat on the sofa.
Su Qingsang came out and went to the kitchen to ask Ms. Yu to add two more dishes.
She brought a glass of juice for Li Qianxue and sat down next to her.
"Mom, did you meet my dad?"
She had asked just now, but Li Qianxue didn't answer.
"Yes." Li Qianxue didn't want to talk about Su Chenghui. She really hated that man now.
"Dad, he —"
Su Qingsang thought of the idea she had given Su Chenghui before. She had asked Su Chenghui to try his best to win Li Qianxue back.
Now it seemed that she had made a mistake.
"I don't want to talk about your dad."
Li Qianxue's attitude was too resistant, so Su Qingsang could only swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Huo Jinyao returned home at night and was a little surprised to see Li Qianxue. He didn't understand why his mother-in-law came to Rong City all of a sudden.
After greeting her, he glanced at Su Qingsang, and Su Qingsang shook her head gently at him.
In fact, she didn't know why Li Qianxue came to Rong City. But she could roughly guess that she was provoked by Su Chenghui.
How did Su Chenghui provoke Li Qianxue?
Su Qingsang didn't get an answer to this question even after dinner.
"Mom." Su Qingsang made the bed and looked at Li Qianxue. "The quilt is sun-dried. The bed is ready. You must be tired today. Why don't you rest first? "
"Qingsang, come here. I want to talk to you."
Su Qingsang walked to Li Qianxue and sat down next to her. Li Qianxue pulled her hand over and held it.
"Qingsang. You really haven't seen your dad? "
"I really haven't." Su Qingsang shook her head. "Dad is in Lin City, and I'm in Rong City. How could I have the chance to see him? "
"That's true." Li Qianxue nodded. "You're not the child he likes the most. If he came to Rong City, why would he come to see you? "
"Dad came to Rong City?" Su Qingsang's eyes widened. "Why didn't I know?"
"Of course you wouldn't know. He didn't come to Rong City to see you. He came to see someone else. "
"You mean Su Peizhen?"
Su Qingsang originally wanted to say Xiang Caiping, but she was afraid that Li Qianxue would be unhappy, so she quickly changed her words.
Li Qianxue, however, understood what she was going to say. Her expression was slightly gloomy.
Su Qingsang didn't notice the change in Li Qianxue's expression. She thought of something else.
Last time, during the Dragon Boat Festival. Huo Yifan brought Su Peizhen to the Huo family. Did Huo Yifan really want to marry Su Peizhen?
So this time, Su Chenghui came to Rong City because their parents wanted to meet?
However, when she went to see Xiang Caiping two days ago, she didn't hear her talk about this. Yes, Xiang Caiping was afraid that she would be unhappy, so she never mentioned Su Peizhen in front of her.
"It shouldn't be just to see Su Peizhen."
Li Qianxue looked at Su Qingsang's expression and knew that she wasn't lying. That meant that she had never seen Su Chenghui.
But what about Xiang Caiping? She must have seen her, right? And Su Peizhen?
Su Qingsang didn't know how to answer. After all, Su Chenghui was her father.
"Have you seen Su Peizhen?"
Li Qianxue had very complicated feelings about her former adopted daughter. She didn't only suspect Su Chenghui, but also Su Peizhen.
"Yes." Meeting Li Qianxue's penetrating gaze, Su Qingsang didn't lie.
"Not only have I seen her, but I'm afraid that soon, we will become a family again."
"What do you mean?" Li Qianxue's heart skipped a beat.
Su Qingsang didn't want to say this to Li Qianxue. However, if Su Chenghui came to Rong City to set up the marriage between Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan, then Li Qianxue would find out sooner or later.
"I saw Peizhen at the Huo family …"
She briefly told Li Qianxue about Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan's relationship. When Su Qingsang finished, she met Li Qianxue's sharp gaze and felt inexplicably guilty.
"Before the Dragon Boat Festival? Why didn't you tell me? "
Li Qianxue's expression suddenly became a little strange.
She could understand Su Qingsang's concerns, but because of that, she felt even more depressed.
In Su Qingsang's heart, would she side with Su Peizhen?
"Mom, don't be angry. I just don't want you to worry. What's more, Peizhen is a grown-up. I think she knows what she's doing. "
In fact, Su Qingsang wasn't stupid. Su Peizhen wanted to marry into the Huo family, even if she didn't want to do anything to Su Qingsang.
Su Peizhen was Li Qianxue's adopted daughter, and Su Qingsang was Li Qianxue's biological daughter.
If possible, Su Qingsang didn't want to be on the opposite side of Su Peizhen.
"Knows what she's doing?"
Li Qianxue sneered, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"It would be great if she really knows what she's doing."
Su Qingsang looked at Li Qianxue, not quite understanding what she meant.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about her. "
Li Qianxue finally understood why Su Chenghui was in Rong City.
It turned out that Su Peizhen was going to marry Huo Yifan? Another grandson of the Huo family?
Li Qianxue had seen Huo Yifan at the Huo family before. He was young and seemed to have a shrewd and astute mind.
Su Peizhen didn't like Qiu Yanbo very much in the past, but Qiu Yanbo had a good character.
But Huo Yifan was far worse than Huo Jinyao. Why was Su Peizhen with him?
"Mom, you should rest early."
"Okay."
Li Qianxue didn't want to think about these things now, but —
"Qingsang, don't hide anything from me in the future."
"Mom, I didn't."
"Really? Then why didn't you tell me about Peizhen this time? "
"I —"
"Qingsang, did you think that if Peizhen had a conflict with you, I would be on Peizhen's side?"
"I didn't mean that." Su Qingsang shook her head. No matter how she thought about it, she believed that Li Qianxue wouldn't be on Su Peizhen's side.
"I just thought that you raised her for more than twenty years. If possible, I don't want to make things difficult for you."
Li Qianxue's heart suddenly ached. She hugged Su Qingsang tightly and forcefully.
Was that what Su Qingsang thought? Didn't want to make things difficult for her? Then how many more things could she hide in order not to make things difficult for herself?
"I'm not making things difficult for you." Li Qianxue hugged Su Qingsang and looked at an unknown point. "There's nothing difficult for me. Nothing at all. "
She suddenly let go of her arms, stepped back a little, and looked at Su Qingsang. "Qingsang, you have to believe one thing. No matter what happens, I will be on your side. Always. "
Her overly serious and serious face shocked Su Qingsang greatly. Finally, she nodded her head heavily.
"Okay. I understand. "
"Not only do you need to know, but you also need to believe it." Li Qianxue held Su Qingsang's hand tightly. "Qingsang, I know what you're thinking, but I'm telling you, from now on, get rid of those thoughts. I'm your mother, your biological mother. I won't stand against you for anyone. Do you understand? "
Su Qingsang's throat was a little choked. She could only nod heavily, but couldn't say a word.
"But Qingsang, I want you to promise me something."
"What?"
"If there's anything I don't do well, you have to tell me. But it's the same for you. You can never give up on mom or abandon me. "
"Mom." Su Qingsang understood that she might have been affected by Su Chenghui. "Mom, don't worry. I promised you just now. I won't. "
"Look at me. You talk too much when you're old. "
"I'm not old." Su Qingsang smiled and said, "People will believe that you and I are sisters. How can you say that I'm old?"
"You." Li Qianxue smiled, and her face finally looked a little relaxed.
"Okay. Go and rest. If I keep talking to you, I'm afraid Huo Jinyao will be jealous. "
Li Qianxue said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"Mom …"
Su Qingsang blushed. She looked a little embarrassed. After she left, the relaxed expression on Li Qianxue's face disappeared, and was replaced by a serious expression.
Su Chenghui, Su Peizhen, and Xiang Caiping.
No matter what they wanted to do or what they planned to do, she was not afraid. The only thing she cared about, and the only bottom line, was her pair of children.
Li Qianxue suddenly thought of something.
She had been told that Su Peizhen was going to marry Huo Yifan.
What did Su Peizhen want to do?
… …
"Do you think I did something wrong?"
Su Qingsang looked at Huo Jinyao with uncertainty in her eyes.
She had just returned to the room and told Huo Jinyao about Li Qianxue's loss of composure and her deduction.
She didn't know that Li Qianxue had seen the video of her and Xiang Caiping together. She attributed it to Su Chenghui probably doing something.
And why did Su Chenghui do those things? A large part of the reason might be because of her encouragement and instigation.
But now, she wasn't sure if her "encouragement" and "incitement" had been a mistake.
"I looked at my father at the time and felt really pitiful. That's why I said those things. But today, my mother has no intention of forgiving my father at all. "
Not only did she not have any intention of forgiving him, but it seemed that she hated him even more.
"I think that my father might not come to Rong City to see Auntie as my mother said. It's very likely that Su Peizhen might really be marrying Huo Yifan. But my mother doesn't seem to think so. "
Li Qianxue obviously misunderstood and thought that Su Chenghui came to see Xiang Caiping.
Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan were already talking about marriage? Why hadn't he heard about it?
Huo Yifan would definitely discuss such a big matter with Old Master Huo first. But Huo Yifan didn't get any news at all.
"Jinyao?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang and put aside his own thoughts. "If your father really wants to get your mother back, I think he will do it whether you encourage him or not."
"But if your father doesn't want to, even if you encourage him, he won't be moved."
"But I don't think he came to Rong City because Su Peizhen is going to marry Huo Yifan."
"Is it really because of Auntie?"
Could it be that after the past few months, Su Chenghui still thought that the person he loved was Xiang Caiping?
If that was the case, no wonder Li Qianxue was unhappy.
"No." Huo Jinyao shook his head. He didn't think that was the case. "Don't think too much. I think your mother might be thinking too much. Maybe your father doesn't have that kind of intention at all. "
Why not rule out both possibilities?
Maybe he should ask Yang Wenchang tomorrow to find out if Su Chenghui came to Rong City to see Xiang Caiping.
Seeing Su Qingsang's serious expression, he rubbed the top of her head. "Alright. Don't frown. Maybe nothing happened. You're just thinking too much. Maybe your mother is going through menopause. "
"You're the one going through menopause."
Su Qingsang glared at him. Because of what he said, the worry in her heart dissipated a lot.
Even if Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui could never be together, she still hoped that Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui could live separately. She didn't want them to be like enemies.
… …
Su Peizhen didn't expect Li Qianxue to come to her.
When she saw the elegant and beautiful Li Qianxue sitting in front of her, she was dazed for a moment.
Half a year ago, she and Li Qianxue were a pair of close mother and daughter. They talked about everything and had deep feelings for each other.
She still remembered how shy she was when she had her first menarche. She also remembered how Li Qianxue told her that it was the first step for a girl to grow up and that she should be happy.
She also remembered how surprised she was when she received a love letter from a boy for the first time. Li Qianxue told her that it was something to be proud of.
Li Qianxue was a very good mother. In the past twenty years, she had given Su Peizhen the most selfless and deep motherly love.
However, in just half a year, the two people who used to be mother and daughter were sitting across a table from each other. There was not a trace of a smile on each other's faces.
Su Peizhen swallowed the word "mother" that was on the tip of her tongue.
She closed her eyes. This woman was no longer her mother. She was Su Qingsang's mother now.
This realization made Su Peizhen feel bad. When she opened her eyes again, her expression was indifferent.
Li Qianxue had been looking at her, and that gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Auntie, do you need me for something?"
Su Peizhen pretended to speak carelessly, but her face was deliberately cold.
That "auntie" had clearly divided the relationship between the two of them.
Even though Li Qianxue had known for a long time that Su Peizhen was no longer her daughter, when she suddenly heard the word "auntie", her heart did sting a little.
If someone had told Li Qianxue half a year ago that one day, she and Su Peizhen would become strangers, she would have thought that person was crazy.
However, in the past six months, she and Su Peizhen had indeed become the most familiar strangers.
"Why do you think I'm looking for you?" Li Qianxue gently leaned against the back of the chair. Her eyes never left Su Peizhen's face.
"How would I know?" Su Peizhen's expression did not change. She looked at an unknown point, but she did not look at Li Qianxue.
"You don't know? Weren't you the one who lured me to Rong City? "
Every time Su Peizhen lied in front of her, she did not dare to look at her.
Titles and relationships could be changed, but some small habits couldn't be changed in a day or two.
"Auntie, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
"You don't understand?" Li Qianxue sneered. Her eyes were sharp like knives. "You sent me the video, right? Didn't you send me the video to lure me to Rong City? "
"What video? I don't know what you are talking about. "Su Peizhen did not look at Li Qianxue.
"Not many people know about my private email. Only a few people know about it. You happen to be one of them. "
Li Qianxue's body leaned forward slightly, and her eyes looked straight into Su Peizhen's heart.
"Check the ID and address of that letter. It is from Rong City. If I'm not wrong, I should be able to find out where you live by following that address. Peizhen, do you still want to deny it at this time? "
Su Peizhen's expression changed slightly. She finally met Li Qianxue's eyes.
"I sent the video, but Auntie, are you here to denounce me?"
"Denounce me?" Li Qianxue looked at Su Peizhen. "You used the wrong word. I am not here to denounce you today. "
Meeting Su Peizhen's puzzled gaze, Li Qianxue's voice became more serious than before.
"I am here today to warn you."
"…" Warn?
"Su Peizhen. I want to explain something to you. "
Li Qianxue's expression was serious, and her tone was cold. "The Li family does not owe you anything. Whether it is me, Yuxin, or even my father. We do not owe you anything. "
"In the past, you occupied the position of the eldest daughter of the Su family, and enjoyed all our love, protection, and care. That is all. The Li family only has gratitude for you, and we do not owe you anything. Do you admit it? "
Su Peizhen did not speak. She did not want to answer this question.
"You feel lost, you feel that you have been hurt, but that is because you are not used to your current identity. You still think of yourself as the eldest daughter of the Su family. You feel that we owe you, don't you? "
Silence. Su Peizhen's lips were pressed into a straight line.
"The person who swapped the child was Su Chenghui, and the person who made you fall from heaven to hell was also Su Chenghui. Whether it's me or your grandfather, the feelings we had for you were real. If you really think that we need to take responsibility for the feelings that you have now lost your identity, you should look for Su Chenghui, not me. And you should not look for Qingsang. "
When Li Qianxue said this, her voice rose a notch. "You know that Qingsang is the innocent person."
"She has suffered what she should not have. She has lost what she can never get back, nor can she make up for. Don't deny it. You and I know that her life as an illegitimate daughter for more than twenty years was not good. "
"So I think I need to make it clear to you. If you have anger and resentment in your heart, you should look for the person you really hate. For example, your father, Su Chenghui. For example, the mother who brought you into this world, but never took responsibility, Xiang Caiping. And the last thing you should do is look for Su Qingsang and let her bear the resentment in your heart. "
Su Peizhen's expression sank bit by bit when Li Qianxue said those words.
