"Wow. It's so beautiful. "
Su Qingsang looked at the ice mooncakes on the table. She couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes.
"Auntie, you're amazing."
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang's pure and clear eyes. Ever since she got pregnant, she had been a little delicate. From time to time, she would think about tormenting others.
But this torment was only limited to food. In other places, she tried not to cause trouble for others. For example, she continued to go to work, and she continued to have surgery.
"This is actually very simple."
"I don't know how to do it even if it's simple."
Su Qingsang looked at the pattern on the ice mooncake and touched it with her fingers.
"It's so cute."
"Try it." Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang and sighed softly in her heart. How great would it be if this was really her daughter?
Su Peizhen was still in prison. She didn't know what would happen to Su Peizhen after she came out of prison.
Would she recognize her? Xiang Caiping didn't even know if she would be willing to live with her.
In fact, even if Su Peizhen was willing, Su Peizhen wouldn't be as easily satisfied as Su Qingsang after living a pampered life for more than twenty years.
In this regard, she would really rather Su Qingsang be her daughter.
"Delicious." Su Qingsang didn't notice the complicated look in Xiang Caiping's eyes. She tasted one and said with satisfaction, "It's so delicious. Auntie, you're so good. "
"Eat more if you like it. I also bought other ingredients. I'll make egg yolk filling for you tomorrow. "
"Okay." Su Qingsang nodded and answered quite impolitely.
She answered casually, and Xiang Caiping wasn't angry. In fact, Su Qingsang was indeed very casual with Xiang Caiping. Because only casual would not make Xiang Caiping feel uncomfortable.
With Xiang Caiping's personality, if Su Qingsang really got along with her carefully, Xiang Caiping would definitely feel uncomfortable and wouldn't be so reluctant to stay here.
..
Xiang Caiping packed up her clothes. She could leave after making the mooncakes tomorrow.
Looking at the room she had lived in for more than a month, she felt a little reluctant. In fact, how could revenge be more important than making himself comfortable?
Unfortunately, no matter how good this place was, it wasn't a place that belonged to her.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. She opened the door and saw that it was Huo Jinyao standing outside.
"Auntie."
"Jinyao?"
"Auntie is folding clothes?" Huo Jinyao glanced at the pile of clothes on the bed. "Am I disturbing you?"
"Nope. Come in. "
She let Huo Jinyao in, and he closed the door behind him. His attitude made Xiang Caiping's heart skip a beat, and her expression turned serious.
"What's wrong with Qingsang? She — "
"She's fine. She's taking a shower now."
Huo Jinyao glanced at Xiang Caiping's room. His apartment was made up of two apartments, and all the rooms had been expanded, so it was very large.
Even if it was a guest room, there was a bathroom and changing room. After Xiang Caiping moved in, Su Qingsang added some things to the room. Now, the room was much livelier than before.
He didn't speak, and Xiang Caiping didn't know what to say.
"What's the matter, Jinyao?"
"Yes, there is something." Huo Jinyao sat down on the sofa in the room. He didn't rush to speak, and his expression seemed a little solemn.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Xiang Caiping had a feeling that she knew what Huo Jinyao was going to say.
"Auntie." After nearly a minute of silence, Huo Jinyao finally said, "Thank you for taking care of Qingsang for the past month. You've taken good care of her. She's also in a much better condition than before. Today, she had a checkup at the hospital. Everything is normal, and she's very healthy. It's all thanks to you. "
"It's nothing. Qingsang doesn't mind."
"Of course it's thanks to you. If it weren't for you, Qingsang would still be vomiting. I'm really grateful to you. "
"Jinyao," Xiang Caiping interrupted him. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Actually, it's nothing." Huo Jinyao found it very difficult to say. "Qingsang's mother is here. She's living in a hotel now — "
Silence. Huo Jinyao couldn't continue. In fact, the five-star hotel was owned by Tang Mohan's family. He happened to be looking for Tang Mohan today, and accidentally saw Su Chenghui.
Su Chenghui came to Rong City but didn't come to see Su Qingsang. This was normal, but Su Qingsang didn't know at all. This wasn't normal.
He asked around and found out that apart from Su Chenghui, Li Qianxue was also staying in the hotel.
Li Qianxue didn't come today. She had come yesterday. The last time she came, she stayed in directly. This time, she didn't. Why?
There was only one explanation. Li Qianxue saw Xiang Caiping.
He wasn't as ostrich as Su Qingsang, nor was he as naive as Su Qingsang. Yes, Su Qingsang actually knew that Xiang Caiping and Li Qianxue couldn't get along well. They couldn't even stay in the same place.
But now that she was pregnant, her emotions were sensitive and changeable. She thought that she could handle this kind of balance.
But Huo Jinyao wouldn't be so naive. He knew better than anyone that Xiang Caiping and Li Qianxue had a knot that couldn't be untied.
Xiang Caiping looked at Huo Jinyao's expression and already understood what he wanted to say.
"You don't want Li Qianxue to see me and know that I'm staying in Qingsang's house. You don't want me to have a conflict with Li Qianxue, so you want me to leave now? "
"Auntie, Qingsang's mother can't stay here forever. She – "
Huo Jinyao was halfway through his sentence and couldn't continue. Even he himself felt that his behavior was too much.
When he needed her, he called her over. Now that he didn't need her, he asked her to leave. How could there be such a reason?
"I understand." Xiang Caiping's expression was quite calm. "I'll leave tomorrow. Don't worry. "
"Auntie?"
Huo Jinyao's expression was guilty and a little awkward. Xiang Caiping smiled. "In fact, I planned to leave anyway. It's just that I couldn't let go of Qingsang. Now that her mother is here, I believe she will take good care of Qingsang. "
There was silence. Huo Jinyao didn't know what to say. In terms of time spent together, Xiang Caiping and Su Qingsang had spent more time together.
He knew that Su Qingsang was partly because of guilt and partly because of sympathy. If Su Qingsang really had to choose, she would also choose Li Qianxue.
But now that she was pregnant, Huo Jinyao didn't want Su Qingsang to face such a problem, so he was the bad guy. Su Qingsang just needed to live her own life and give birth to the child safely.
"It's okay. Don't feel guilty. In fact, I shouldn't have come. "
"Auntie, don't say that."
Huo Jinyao rarely did such things. It didn't feel good to be the bad guy.
"It's really okay." Xiang Caiping had decided to leave a long time ago, but it wasn't because of Huo Jinyao's decision. "Go back and accompany Qingsang. I'll pack my things and leave tomorrow. "
"Auntie?" Huo Jinyao stood up with a guilty expression. "What can I do for you?"
He could give her money, but that would be an insult to Xiang Caiping. Moreover, she wouldn't take his money.
However, after saying this, he felt a little regretful. If Xiang Caiping had asked him to get Su Peizhen out, he really wouldn't have been able to do it.
"It's okay, I don't want anything."
After Su Peizhen went to prison, she took over the supermarket again. She wasn't idle now.
Huo Jinyao nodded. Before leaving, he looked at Xiang Caiping and spoke very sincerely.
"Auntie, Qingsang and I will visit you when we have time."
"No need to come." Xiang Caiping refused. "If you come too often, Li Qianxue will be unhappy. Don't worry. I'm not at the age of seventy or eighty. I can take care of myself. "
What she said made sense, but Huo Jinyao felt a little sad when he heard it.
When he returned to the room, Su Qingsang was drying her hair. Seeing this, Huo Jinyao stepped forward to take the task and took the initiative to dry Su Qingsang's hair.
"Where have you been?"
"I answered a phone call." Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang's tightly closed eyes and knew that she didn't know anything. However, he couldn't help but think, if Xiang Caiping left tomorrow …
"Qingsang?"
"Yes?"
After drying her hair, Huo Jinyao put the hair dryer aside. He squatted in front of Su Qingsang and looked at her.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon."
"I know." She had already eaten mooncakes before the festival. Of course, she knew that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming.
"Your mother might come to see you on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Su Qingsang was stunned. She blinked and looked at Huo Jinyao, then suddenly lowered her head.
"Huo Jinyao?"
"Auntie said that she will leave tomorrow."
This kind of thing couldn't be hidden. If Su Qingsang still went to look for her after Xiang Caiping left, it would only make things difficult for everyone.
"Auntie is leaving? Where is she going? "
"Where can she go? Back to her own home. "
Huo Jinyao held her hand and looked at her attentively.
"Qingsang, Auntie has her own life. We can't force her to stay. "
Su Qingsang was silent. She understood. But she was a little reluctant.
"If Auntie stays alone, I'm afraid she won't eat well or take good care of herself."
"Qingsang, that has nothing to do with you."
"But …"
"Qingsang, I really want to ask you, in your heart, who is more important, your mother or Auntie?"
Huo Jinyao interrupted her. This question was very sincere. Su Qingsang pursed her lips, looked into Huo Jinyao's eyes, and said without hesitation.
"Of course it's my mother."
"Since you said that, why …"
Su Qingsang knew what Huo Jinyao meant without saying the rest of the sentence.
"My mother is very good. Auntie is also very good. In my heart, I never thought of comparing them. "
Su Qingsang could tell the truth in front of Huo Jinyao. "But I feel very guilty about Auntie."
"Those things have nothing to do with you, and those problems weren't caused by you."
"I know." She understood Huo Jinyao's words and understood them. But understanding was one thing, and not being able to get over the hurdle in her heart was another thing.
"She mistook me for someone else. When she took care of me in Lin City, my relationship with her was getting better and better, and I really regarded her as my mother.
But who knew that she wasn't. When I didn't know who my biological mother was, I wanted to make the best of the mistake. Because I could tell that Auntie liked me very much, and I liked her very much.
I didn't expect that my biological mother would be Li Qianxue, who I had always been in awe of, but I couldn't hate. "
Su Qingsang's belly was already slightly bulging. She looked at her belly and thought about her struggle at that time.
"You know, at that time, I was actually very hesitant and conflicted. I wanted to acknowledge my mother. I didn't want to hurt Auntie. But I didn't expect that I would still hurt her. "
She didn't give Xiang Caiping any time to adjust. Instead, after acknowledging Li Qianxue, she immediately let Xiang Caiping know the truth. She could have had a more compromising way.
"I said, that's not your responsibility."
"Yes, it's not my responsibility." Su Qingsang sighed. "If she could live a better life later, I wouldn't feel so guilty. But look at the things that happened later. Which one of them could make her feel better? If Su Peizhen could be like me and really want to acknowledge her and live a good life with her, I wouldn't feel so bad. But Su Peizhen didn't want to get along well with her. Not to mention that she went astray. Speaking of which, Su Peizhen deserved to be in prison. But Auntie became even more pitiful because of this. "
"Qingsang, what about your mother?"
Huo Jinyao didn't believe that she didn't understand, nor did he believe that she couldn't think of it.
"If your mother knew that you and Auntie were living together again and that you treated her so well. What do you think your mother would think? "
Su Qingsang's little face suddenly turned a little pale. She couldn't say anything. She did feel guilty about this. She was indeed in the wrong.
"Jinyao, do you think that I did something wrong?"
"What else? Do you want to say that you did the right thing? "
"I just –"
"You just like the more casual atmosphere when you get along with Auntie. Right? Then don't you get along with your mother casually? "
"Not really." Su Qingsang admitted that Li Qianxue was a mother who loved her child very much. She also knew that Li Qianxue wanted to make up for it and was very good to her.
However, Li Qianxue's desire to make up for it made her feel a lot of pressure.
"Auntie was actually like that before. You should be able to tell that I wasn't used to it. "
"Later, when that kind of person became my mother, I was even more not used to it."
In the past few years, Li Qianxue felt that she owed Su Qingsang, so she was even more exaggerated and careful than Xiang Caiping when it came to Su Qingsang.
One had to know that the impression that Li Qianxue gave her had always been that she was high and mighty, and she had always been above everyone else.
But now, she suddenly changed her style. She seemed to be very afraid that she would be unhappy and wanted to be good to her.
She was actually a little overwhelmed. A relationship that was too stressful would make people feel at a loss.
"I know that my mother is very good, and I also want to get along with her like a normal mother and daughter. But every time she looks at me with self-blame, guilt, and feeling that she owes me, it makes me feel very stressed. Even though I've told her that what I said has nothing to do with her. "
Huo Jinyao understood and understood everything.
"Are you trying to say that your mother makes you feel tired?"
"A little bit."
Su Qingsang bit her lip and thought of something that happened when she went to Lin City last time.
That day, Li Qianxue was in the study and saw Old Master Li discussing a calligraphy and painting that she had just taken. She had never received any training in that area since she was young, so she didn't know anything about calligraphy and painting or antiques.
Grandpa and Li Qianxue were talking enthusiastically, and she also found it very interesting listening to them. It wasn't that she was interested, but that she had little contact with this kind of culture before.
However, the atmosphere was clearly very good, but when Li Qianxue saw her expression, she thought of the past twenty years.
For Li Qianxue, if she hadn't changed the child. Su Qingsang wouldn't have been like she was now, knowing nothing and knowing nothing.
When she thought of it, she couldn't help but start to blame herself and feel guilty. This kind of emotion made Su Qingsang feel a little pressured.
She didn't think that she had to know calligraphy and painting or antiques. Everyone had their own things that they were good at. It was as if she had watched Huo Jinyao play chess with Old Master Huo.
She roughly knew the rules of Go, but she still didn't know how to play it.
She didn't think that it was a shameful thing that she didn't know how to play those things, but Li Qianxue cared a lot about it. In those few days, whenever she was free, she would drag her along, wanting to make up for the lessons that she had lost.
Li Qianxue blamed herself and regretted missing the best period and not being able to cultivate Su Qingsang into a real lady.
The more she blamed herself, the more uncomfortable Su Qingsang felt. She didn't need that kind of emotion. That wasn't Li Qianxue's fault. In fact, she was also a victim.
But no matter what she said, Li Qianxue would have felt better at that time. But as long as there was a chance, as long as she discovered that there was something that Su Peizhen could do and Su Qingsang couldn't.
She couldn't help but fall into that kind of self-blame, guilt, and the desire to make up for it.
Su Qingsang had never said these words to Huo Jinyao. He had never thought that there was such a layer of relationship between Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping.
"You should have told your mother."
"Why should I?" Su Qingsang had a headache. "I told her. I said that I don't blame anyone. I don't hate anyone. "
Especially Li Qianxue. She didn't need to feel guilty or make up for it. It was good for her to be like this.
"You like Auntie because Auntie never gave you such pressure before?"
Huo Jinyao was very clear about this. When Xiang Caiping first came, she was a little restrained. After she understood, she just wanted to be good to Su Qingsang. That kind of guilt and compensation had always been in her heart, but she didn't show it.
After all, to Xiang Caiping, Su Qingsang was an illegitimate daughter. With her current appearance, she became a doctor. She married Huo Jinyao.
Xiang Caiping didn't have other children, so there was no comparison. She knew that her daughter was living a good life. Her life could be considered complete. She felt very satisfied and at ease.
But Li Qianxue was different. She had raised Su Peizhen and had other children. There was a comparison.
When the two were compared, the feeling of self-blame that was originally only three points could be magnified to ten points. What's more, she was already very guilty.
Su Qingsang didn't say anything, but she didn't deny it. There was no doubt that she loved Li Qianxue. But it was also true that Li Qianxue made her feel some pressure.
It was true that she sympathized and pitied Xiang Caiping, but it was also true that Xiang Caiping made her feel more relaxed.
