Xiang Caiping didn't look at Li Qianxue at all. She only stared at Su Peizhen.
"Who were you calling 'Mom' just now?"
The third time, it was almost a question.
Su Peizhen stood there, unable to move an inch. The first thought that flashed through her mind was that it was over. Xiang Caiping heard it.
How much did she hear? Did she hear it all, or …
Su Peizhen felt a flash of panic in her heart. She thought of what she had just said.
"Mom."
"Who were you calling 'Mom'?"
Xiang Caiping didn't give her a chance to bluff. She took a step forward and stood at the door.
This way, she and Li Qianxue stood in a subtle position.
Xiang Caiping faced inside, and Li Qianxue faced outside. The two of them stood next to each other.
Li Qianxue frowned slightly at Xiang Caiping's words and at Xiang Caiping's aggressive tone.
She turned and was about to walk out. She didn't know if it was a coincidence or not, but Xiang Caiping happened to be in front of her.
Li Qianxue turned her face to look at her. Xiang Caiping also turned back to look at Li Qianxue at the same time.
Their eyes met. This time, there was a subtle hostility in their eyes.
Xiang Caiping was jealous of Li Qianxue, not because Li Qianxue's family background was better than hers or because she was prettier than her, but because Li Qianxue had the daughter of her dreams.
Li Qianxue didn't like Xiang Caiping because she had occupied Su Chenghui's heart for more than twenty years. It was also because Su Qingsang still cared about her.
The two of them just looked at each other, neither of them looking away.
Su Peizhen stood there. She never thought that one day such a situation would happen.
Xiang Caiping was two years older than Li Qianxue, but the gap between the two of them seemed to be more than two years.
Xiang Caiping had spent so many years missing her daughter and regretting sending her away. Half of her hair had turned white. Her clothes weren't old-fashioned, but the dark coat made her look two years older than her actual age.
On the other hand, Li Qianxue had her own obsession, except for the matter of Su Chenghui.
More than twenty years of pampered life made her look elegant and noble. He was dressed in a bright yellow, custom-made jacket.
Her long hair was tied up, and the diamond earrings on her earlobes made her look even more noble.
Xiang Caiping had always been proud of herself. For so many years, no matter what she did, she had always relied on herself. Every step he took was the result of his own hard work.
But now that she was facing Li Qianxue, the negative emotions that she had once ignored suddenly emerged at this moment. She forced herself not to look away, but when she saw the radiant Li Qianxue, she felt an uncontrollable inferiority complex.
In order not to lose, she stared at Li Qianxue's face, but her eyes turned to Su Peizhen.
"Peizhen. Who were you calling mom just now? Can you tell me about it? "
The hostility in her eyes was clear. However, Li Qianxue did not back down. She had already lost Su Chenghui's heart. She couldn't lose her dignity too.
Looking at Li Qianxue, Xiang Caiping felt a fire burning in her heart. The fire had almost burned her out of her senses.
She had always known that Su Peizhen was unwilling to acknowledge her as her mother. But she didn't expect to hear Su Peizhen say something like that.
In order to go back to the Su Family, she actually begged Li Qianxue? Begged the woman she had hated for almost her entire life?
She couldn't help but glare at Li Qianxue, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.
"Peizhen. You want to go back to the Su Family so badly, don't you? "
"Since you don't regard me as your mother, since you still regard her as your mother, then go back. My temple here is too small for a big Buddha like you. "
Su Peizhen looked at Xiang Caiping, her lips moving. She had been unscrupulously enjoying the care and obedience that Xiang Caiping gave her.
In her mind, even if the whole world didn't want her anymore. Xiang Caiping wouldn't abandon her. They were mother and daughter who were related by blood.
But now, Xiang Caiping actually said that she didn't want her anymore.
"Mom?" She felt a little weak in her legs. "What are you talking about?"
"It doesn't matter what I say. What matters is what you are thinking. Since you are unwilling to acknowledge me and don't regard me as your mother. Then go with her. "
"You, are you chasing me away?"
"It's not that I'm chasing you away, but you don't want to stay." Xiang Caiping finally looked away from Li Qianxue and turned to look at Su Peizhen.
"Since you don't want to be my daughter, then go."
Xiang Caiping had been very depressed during this period of time. This kind of feeling was something she had never felt when she was with Su Qingsang.
She always had to be careful when dealing with Su Peizhen. She was always worried that she might say something wrong or do something wrong, which would cause Su Peizhen to retaliate and make her unhappy.
Although she used to care about Su Qingsang's thoughts. But Su Qingsang wouldn't let her have such feelings.
She understood the gap in Su Peizhen's heart and had been working hard to make up for it, trying to be a good mother.
To be honest. The time she had spent with Su Peizhen was about the same as the few months when Su Qingsang recognized her.
She had done no less for Su Peizhen than Su Qingsang. However, she could warm Su Qingsang's heart, but she couldn't make Su Peizhen accept her.
If it were any other situation, Xiang Caiping would never say such a thing.
But today, Li Qianxue was also by her side. Li Qianxue didn't want her daughter, but she treated her like a treasure.
This understanding must have come to her, coupled with what had happened before. Xiang Caiping suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore.
In the past so many years, she had survived alone.
Without Su Qingsang, without Su Peizhen, she could also live on alone.
She didn't want Su Peizhen's hypocrisy. If she really couldn't forget Li Qianxue, then go back.
She would pretend that she had never had this daughter.
"You can leave me. I agree that you can leave. You don't have to force yourself to call me mom in front of me. You don't have to pretend that you have accepted me in front of me. You don't have to. "
And she didn't need to be careful, worried that one day she would say or do something wrong and offend her.
Su Peizhen's lips moved. She didn't expect that the video she sent would make things like this.
This wasn't the result she wanted. She didn't want this.
The person who would be hated by the two mothers was Su Qingsang, wasn't it? The person who would be hated and despised by them was Su Qingsang, wasn't it?
Clearly, Su Qingsang was the one who wanted to please both sides. How did she become the one who was being despised by both sides?
Subconsciously, out of habit for more than 20 years, her gaze fell on Li Qianxue. She wanted Li Qianxue to give her some comfort and an answer.
Li Qianxue didn't say anything. When she saw Su Peizhen's expectant and almost pleading gaze, her heart trembled.
Su Peizhen's lips trembled slightly. She didn't say the word "mom", but her eyes already contained that meaning.
Li Qianxue understood that she was her escape route. Su Peizhen treated her as a life-saving straw.
She should go against Xiang Caiping and keep Su Peizhen. Let her go home with her. But she couldn't!
She felt the corner of Xiang Caiping's eyes fall on her. She felt that she seemed to be waiting for her decision.
Finally, Li Qianxue's hands, which were hanging by her side, slightly tightened and she looked at Su Peizhen deeply. He calmly averted his gaze.
Looking at Xiang Caiping's determined face, the corners of her lips slightly curled up.
"You don't have to say such things in front of me. Because she is no longer my daughter. "
Su Peizhen's body trembled. Xiang Caiping's eyes widened and she looked at Li Qianxue sharply.
However, as if she didn't feel their gazes, Su Peizhen raised her head and walked away in her high heels.
Her action was like a slap on Su Peizhen's face.
"Mom?"
It was very low and very light, as if it was a whisper. She looked at Li Qianxue's disappearing figure behind the door in disbelief. She couldn't accept that Li Qianxue had really abandoned her like this.
She was her daughter.
When she turned around again, she found that Xiang Caiping was also looking at her. Her gaze was complicated, and there was a faint trace of pity in it.
Su Peizhen's heart ached. She suddenly took a few steps forward and walked in front of Xiang Caiping.
"Mom, what you said just now was a joke, wasn't it?"
"Mom, you won't abandon me, will you?"
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Peizhen. She already didn't know what to do with this daughter of hers.
"Peizhen. It's not that I don't want you. It's that you don't want me. "
"I, I didn't. Mom. I didn't. I'm just … "
"You just can't forget Li Qianxue. You just can't forget your rich life in the Su Family. You just can't forget your mother-daughter relationship with Li Qianxue for more than twenty years. "
"I …" Su Peizhen wanted to shake her head, but she couldn't defend herself.
Xiang Caiping sighed in her heart. "Peizhen, admit it. You don't see me as your mother at all. You don't want me as your mother either. If that's the case, why force yourself? "
Su Peizhen was speechless. She had always been eloquent, but at this moment, she couldn't find the words to defend herself.
Xiang Caiping didn't need her to defend herself. She let out a long sigh and took a step back.
"Peizhen. I don't blame you for not wanting to acknowledge me. I won't take back what I've given you. As for the future, you're on your own. "
She turned to leave, but Su Peizhen stepped forward and grabbed her arm.
"Mom. Mom, don't go. Mom, listen to me. I was wrong. I was really wrong. I acknowledge you. I really do recognize you. I also really accept you. You can't abandon me. You can't abandon me. "
Xiang Caiping's body stiffened. She couldn't see Su Peizhen's expression behind her. But she could feel the strength that Su Peizhen used to hold her hand.
She stood there, listening to Su Peizhen's voice behind her. She raised her hand and calmly pried Su Peizhen's fingers away.
She turned to face Su Peizhen. Her expression was the same as when Li Qianxue was about to leave, calm and indifferent.
"Peizhen, I'm not your driftwood. You came to me without someone to rely on. When you had someone to rely on, you threw me aside. I'm not a passerby. I'm your mother. If you can't understand this, don't come back to me. "
After all, Su Peizhen was her flesh and blood. Xiang Caiping didn't want to see Su Peizhen suffer too much.
"Peizhen. If you're really willing to acknowledge me as your mother and want me to be your mother. The door of the house is always open, and you're welcome to come back. But you can also think clearly about whether you really want me as your mother. "
Xiang Caiping finished speaking and left.
The office suddenly became quiet. Su Peizhen's body fell to the ground. She didn't get up. She just sat there, looking sluggish.
Her eyes were a little empty as she stared at the empty corridor.
After a long time, she suddenly stood up, walked back to the desk, and swept everything on the desk to the ground.
"Go. All go. Who wants you? Who wants you? "
She didn't want them. She didn't want a mother like these people.
Don't you like Su Qingsang? Go and like her.
Don't you want me? Then one day, I'll make you regret it.
Yes. She must make them regret it. She must let them know that she, Su Peizhen, was not a dog that they raised. If they wanted her, they wanted to throw her away.
Su Qingsang, Su Qingsang. Everything was because of Su Qingsang.
Ah —
… …
Su Qingsang changed out of her doctor's robe and left the office. She was shocked when she saw the familiar figure in the corridor.
"Dad?"
Didn't they agree on this? Yesterday, it was Li Qianxue. Today, it was Su Chenghui.
She took a few steps forward and called out in a low voice. Su Chenghui's eyes were fixed on the photo on the wall.
In the photo, Su Qingsang was wearing a doctor's robe, looking radiant and energetic. Her eyes were full of confidence, and her smile was full of beauty.
He didn't seem to have seen a daughter like this. Hearing Su Qingsang call him, he turned his face and smiled at her.
"You're off work?"
"Yes." Su Qingsang nodded and looked at Su Chenghui. It was already past the Dragon Boat Festival, and the weather in Rong City was getting hot.
Su Chenghui was wearing a very formal three-piece dark suit. His hair was meticulously combed back. It looked like he had just met someone and came over.
"Dad, why are you here? You are – "
"You're off work, aren't you? Then let's have dinner together? "
Su Chenghui suggested. Su Qingsang thought of Li Qianxue at home and hesitated, but in the end, she nodded.
Su Qingsang picked a good Cantonese restaurant nearby. Su Chenghui had lived with Old Master Li for many years, so his taste was relatively light.
After ordering, he called home and said that he wouldn't be back for dinner that night. Then he told Li Qianxue.
She was afraid that Li Qianxue would overthink, so she only said that she had something to do at the hospital. Li Qianxue's voice didn't sound quite right. Su Qingsang wanted to ask, but Su Chenghui was sitting across from her.
She had no choice but to hang up the phone, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Su Chenghui.
"Dad, have some tea."
Su Chenghui glanced at her and took the cup of tea. There was a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"Were you talking to your mother just now?"
"Yes." Su Chenghui came to Rong City and met Li Qianxue. It was impossible to lie to him that Li Qianxue wasn't at her place.
"Your mother, how is she?"
Looking at Li Qianxue's appearance yesterday, she was obviously very angry. It seemed that her anger hadn't subsided yet.
Her personality had always been like that. She only believed what her eyes saw and what her heart believed.
In the past, he was very proud of her personality. It was as if Li Qianxue had set her mind on him. No matter how he treated her, she would love him and never leave him.
Now, he began to worry about her personality. Because this kind of Li Qianxue made Su Chenghui feel a kind of anxiety. He didn't know how to make her move.
Su Qingsang didn't answer his question. "Dad, why did you come to Rong City?"
"Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"
"Of course you can." It just made her a little surprised and a little flattered.
"Dad, did you go to see Auntie?"
"No." Knowing what Su Qingsang wanted to ask, Su Chenghui answered her generously. "Why? Do you think I came to Rong City for Caiping? "
Wasn't it?
"I came to Rong City to discuss business. You should have heard from Yuxin that I opened a new small company. It's just started, and it looks good at the moment. But because I don't have the support of the Li Family, and I don't plan to use my previous network, I have to do a lot of things on my own. "
Su Qingsang didn't say anything. She didn't understand business matters. Even if Su Chenghui said it, she couldn't help.
"I finished talking with a client today and was going to treat him to a meal. But he happened to be busy. I heard from Yuxin that you were at the First Hospital. I saw that the address on the map was very close, so I came to see you. "
Su Qingsang nodded and poured a cup of tea for Su Chenghui. But she didn't say anything.
Although they had been father and daughter for many years, because of the previous reasons, her relationship with Su Chenghui wasn't considered close. Most of the time when they sat together, they didn't say anything.
"Your mother, how is she? I know she is at your place. "
This was the second time Su Chenghui asked about Li Qianxue. Su Qingsang looked up at him and found that she didn't quite understand this man, who was her father.
"Dad, are you concerned about my mother?"
"Of course, can't I care about her?"
"I don't mean that. I mean … "
Thinking of what Li Qianxue said yesterday, thinking of the look on her face when she talked about Su Chenghui with hatred.
"Dad. Previously in Rong City, I encouraged you to win my mother's forgiveness. But I saw my mother yesterday, and she seemed to have some misunderstanding about you … "
It was polite to say that there was some misunderstanding. In fact, Li Qianxue didn't seem to have any misunderstanding about Su Chenghui.
She was already prejudiced against Su Chenghui. She hated him from the bottom of her heart.
"I know." Su Chenghui nodded. Li Qianxue's words on the plane yesterday made him understand what she meant.
"Your mother has some misunderstanding about me. This is another reason why I came to see you today. "
"Dad, you don't want me to help you explain to my mother, do you?"
Su Qingsang looked a little conflicted. Her eyebrows were full of disapproval.
"Of course not. It's something that I can explain to myself. I just want you to help me get my mother to agree to see me. She seems to be very angry with me. She doesn't answer all my calls and doesn't reply to my messages. Even when I change my number and call her, as long as she hears my voice, she will hang up the phone. "
Su Chenghui looked a little helpless and self-deprecating. "I just want you to help me see your mother."
Su Qingsang bit her lip and looked a little embarrassed.
Su Chenghui was her father. She should agree to him, but thinking of Li Qianxue's appearance yesterday, she shook her head firmly.
"I'm sorry. Dad. I can't help you with this. "
Su Chenghui was stunned for a moment, and his eyes seemed to be a little surprised. "Qingsang, last time you said …"
"I was wrong. Dad. I was wrong. "
Su Qingsang admitted her mistake and apologized to Su Chenghui. She lowered her head and looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I should have helped you. But I can't. "
The way Li Qianxue acted the day before was really not quite right. The problem between her and Su Chenghui was not something that could be solved with the word "misunderstanding".
Li Qianxue was emotionally unstable these days. If she helped Su Chenghui again, maybe Li Qianxue would think too much.
"Dad. If you really want to get my mother back, you'd better find a way yourself. I promised my mother that I wouldn't mention you in front of her. "
Su Chenghui's face turned pale, and a bitter smile appeared on his elegant face.
"Can't I even mention it? Does she hate me so much? "
Su Qingsang was a little embarrassed and really couldn't answer. Soon, the waiter began to serve the dishes. She breathed a sigh of relief.
After that, Su Chenghui finally didn't ask Su Qingsang to help him anymore.
The dishes were served one by one. Su Qingsang was the one who ordered the dishes. She ordered according to Su Chenghui's habits in Lin City.
Just now, Su Chenghui had something on his mind, so he didn't pay attention to what Su Qingsang ordered.
Now that all the dishes were on the table, he looked at the dishes on the table, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.
At that time, he didn't feel without guilt for changing the identity of his daughter.
However, under the circumstances at that time, Su Chenghui forced himself to suppress the guilt.
When the identity of the two of them was revealed, Su Qingsang and Su Peizhen's reactions and behavior to each other made the two daughters immediately see who was better.
Especially now, Su Qingsang didn't even ask and directly ordered the dishes that he usually liked.
This made him think of the times when he went out to eat with Su Peizhen, nine out of ten times, he would go according to Su Peizhen's taste.
Although it was a small thing, Su Qingsang's actions warmed Su Chenghui's heart, which had been tired and wandering for a long time, and made him feel a little more at ease.
"Qingsang, just pretend that I didn't say what I said just now. Don't worry about Dad. You're right, I really have to rely on myself to get your mother's forgiveness, not on you guys. "
"Dad?"
This time, it was Su Qingsang's turn to be surprised.
Su Chenghui smiled. He shook his head gently and said, "I've lived half my life. There are some things that I have to accept and take lightly. If I have to rely on others to get the person I love, how can it be considered true love? "
His words were already quite philosophical. Su Qingsang smiled, and there was a flash of emotion on her face.
"Dad, you can think like this. If you can think like this, I believe that Mom's heart is not made of stone. One day, she will accept you. "
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Thank you for your kind words." Su Chenghui smiled. His smile was full of love. " "Qingsang, thank you."
"What are you thanking me for? I'm your daughter. "
Su Chenghui was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and spoke as if he was a little emotional.
"Yes. You're my daughter. "
A daughter that he had always ignored, owed, and ignored.
