Su Qingsang was pregnant. Xiang Caiping had been taking good care of her during this period of time, and she had become more plump. After talking things out with Li Qianxue, he looked much better.
Huo Jinyao now regarded her as an important person to take care of and protect. Whenever she went out or went out, someone had to follow her. As long as he was at home, he would always be by her side.
At that moment, Su Qingsang only frowned slightly, and he immediately brought her a glass of warm water. They did not care that there were other elders and relatives in the living room.
Nian Chunya could only feel that her gums were dry and stiff. Her son had been living a good life, but Huo Jinyao just couldn't let go of such a small matter.
What about now? The two of them were so happy. Her son was still in prison.
Huo Jinyao just needed to get him in. Old Master Huo was also so biased that he didn't take Huo Yifan's side at all.
Nian Chunya's expression was very ugly. If there weren't so many relatives present, she would have jumped up, pointed at Huo Jinyao's nose and scolded him.
Huo Manzi sat next to her and pinched her arm. She came close to him, and her voice was very light.
"Mom, calm down."
Calm down? How could he calm down? Ever since Huo Yifan's accident, she had been unwilling to appear in this house.
After all, Huo Mingguang's family was Grandfather Huo's closest family. Their family was nothing, right?
Nian Chunya had come from a humble family to begin with. She didn't have any foresight. To her, her husband and son were the most important.
She didn't care about the family's honor. Now, her son was in jail because of Huo Jinyao, but Huo Jinyao seemed to have become a winner in life. He had everything he wanted, which was very difficult for her to accept.
Especially after seeing Huo Yifan, the contrast was even more obvious.
Look, it's a holiday now, but they're all so lively here. What about Huo Yifan?
He was alone in that cold prison. He had no family, no freedom.
Nian Chunya's heart was filled with hatred, and she exerted more force. Huo Manzi unclasped her fingers little by little and gently stretched them out.
"Manzi?"
"A little impatience spoils great plans." Huo Manzi's voice was very soft. "The future is long, and now is the time for them to show off. It's not suitable to go against them. "
Nian Chunya knew this was the truth, but she couldn't help it.
"Do you have a plan?"
"No." Huo Manzi glanced in Su Qingsang's direction. Li Qianxue was also here today.
Ever since Su Qingsang was pregnant, Liu Tongjia's attitude toward her had changed. Before, they could see Liu Tongjia making things difficult for Su Qingsang. But now, Liu Tongjia and Su Qingsang were like mother and daughter.
The better they lived, the worse Huo Manzi felt. Her emotions were the same as Nian Chunya's.
However, she was smarter than Nian Chunya in that she wasn't in a hurry to do anything. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Old Master Huo had been in a good mood recently.
Su Qingsang was pregnant with twins. There were quite a few great-grandfathers around his age, but there weren't many great-grandfathers who could be twins.
At a time like this, how could Huo Manzi, who knew how to judge the situation, offend Grandfather Huo?
Su Qingsang didn't notice the look in Huo Mingliang's eyes at all. She was listening to Liu Tongjia and Li Qianxue talk about their pregnancies.
It seemed that all mothers had this habit. Once they found out that someone around them was pregnant, they couldn't wait to repeat the symptoms of their pregnancy at that time.
She was a doctor herself. In fact, these symptoms were very clear as early as when she was in school. However, everyone's reaction was different. She found it quite interesting to listen to them.
Old Master Huo was in a good mood and chatted with Huo Yangyuan and Huo Yangxiu. When he saw Uncle Cheng enter the door, he stood up with a smile.
"The last guest is here. We can start eating."
Everyone present looked in the direction of the door because of Old Master Huo's words. The others' expressions didn't change, but Li Qianxue's face suddenly darkened.
She didn't expect Old Master Huo to invite Su Chenghui.
"Chenghui is here? Come and sit down. "
"Old Master." Su Chenghui came to Rong City for business. After finishing his business, he deliberately chose a long time to visit Old Master Huo.
Old Master Huo knew that he was also in Rong City, so he called him to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet today.
"I'm late. I'm sorry. "Su Chenghui handed over the gift in his hand as he spoke.
Old Master Huo didn't open the gift. He just glanced at Uncle Cheng and asked him to take it.
He looked at Su Chenghui with a faint smile in his eyes.
"It's good that you're here. Don't do these things next time."
"It's just a little plaything. I'm glad that you don't mind."
Li Qianxue sat there. The cheerful appearance of talking with Liu Tongjia just now was completely gone. She sat there with a cold face and looked at Su Chenghui with undisguised disdain.
However, there were too many people from the Huo family today. They were all relatives of the Huo family. No matter how reluctant she was, she couldn't directly embarrass Su Chenghui.
She could only watch as Su Chenghui sat down next to her and squeezed into the seat between her and Qingsang.
"Qianxue." Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue. She was still very beautiful today. She had always been the focus of the crowd. No matter where he was, he could recognize Li Qianxue at a glance.
"I thought I was going to pick you up. I didn't expect you to come with Qingsang."
Li Qianxue completely ignored Su Chenghui's words. Her heart had already turned cold, so she naturally wouldn't pay attention to Su Chenghui.
"Let's go together later," Su Chenghui said quite casually, as if they were still husband and wife and hadn't divorced yet.
Li Qianxue didn't want to tacitly agree to such a thing. Just as she was about to refute, Old Master Huo had already received Aunt Zhou's instructions and could start the banquet.
"Let's go. Let's eat. Today is a good day. I'm happy, so I want to drink a few more glasses. "
"Grandpa, even if you're happy, you should drink less. Your blood pressure can't drink too much."
Su Qingsang's timely concern made Old Master Huo laugh. He waved his hand and said, "Let's not worry about blood pressure today. I'm happy anyway. Let's go. Let's eat. "
After being interrupted like this, Li Qianxue didn't have a chance to speak at all. Not only that, after they entered the restaurant, Li Qianxue found that her seat was actually arranged with Su Chenghui's.
This made her expression even more unpleasant. She couldn't help but look in Su Qingsang's direction, wanting her to come over and change seats with her.
However, today, Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui came as in-laws. In order to show that they were biological relatives, Old Master Huo arranged Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue's seats next to him.
On the other side of him sat Huo Yangyuan and his wife, Huo Yangxiu and his wife. Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang were further down.
In this way, Li Qianxue couldn't even change seats, because that would be too much of a movement, and it would make a joke of herself.
It wasn't that Su Qingsang didn't see Li Qianxue's pleading eyes, but she couldn't help her for the time being.
Su Qingsang heard Zhang Yichen's name when Old Master Huo was talking to Huo Yangxiu and his wife.
Huo Yangxiu was full of helplessness when she talked about her youngest son. Some time ago, Zhang Yichen volunteered to be an instructor at a newly established base. It was estimated that he wouldn't be back for two or three years.
"I don't know what's wrong with him. It's said that he trains for more than ten hours every day. Those new soldiers are miserable under his training."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Xinghua glanced at her disapprovingly. "It's a good thing that our son is ambitious. If those people can't endure it, they will naturally be eliminated. If they can endure it and make a name for themselves, they are the talents we need. "
"Yes, yes, yes, you're right. I'm just worried about my own son, okay? "
Su Qingsang turned her face at the right time and looked at the piece of fish that Huo Jinyao put into her bowl.
"It's very tender. Try it."
"Okay." She still felt a little nauseous these days, but at least she didn't throw up anymore. She also knew that as the months went on, it would be more and more torturous.
Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang's eyes. It seemed that she didn't hear what Huo Yangxiu said at all.
He didn't expect Zhang Yichen to go so far away, but it was good. He believed that when Zhang Yichen came back, his child would be born. By then, maybe he would already have a woman he liked.
Su Chenghui saw what Huo Jinyao was doing and put a piece of fish into Li Qianxue's bowl.
Li Qianxue looked at the piece of fish and resisted the urge to pick it up and throw it at Su Chenghui's face. She gritted her teeth and glared at Su Chenghui with a warning look.
Su Chenghui acted as if he didn't see it and put another shrimp into her bowl.
"This shrimp is good. Try it."
"I have hands."
There were other members of the Huo family around her. Li Qianxue didn't want to lose her composure, and she couldn't. She lowered her voice and the warning look in her eyes became more and more obvious.
"I can eat it myself."
"I know you have hands. But I just want to pick up food for you. Can't I? "
Su Chenghui found that he was really smart. He knew to visit Old Master Huo a few days ago.
It was such a rare opportunity today. God knew that he hadn't eaten with Li Qianxue since the divorce.
He thought that he was affectionate, but Li Qianxue almost wanted to throw up. She couldn't pick up the food in her bowl and throw it at Su Chenghui's face. She could only force herself to ignore it.
When Su Chenghui put the food in her bowl for the third time, she clenched the chopsticks in her palm.
"Su Chenghui, that's enough."
She leaned close to his ear, and her low voice couldn't hide her anger at this time. "Don't think that I won't fall out with you."
Su Chenghui showed a rare faint smile. He turned his face and looked at the anger in Li Qianxue's eyes.
Look at the woman he liked. She was so beautiful even when she was angry.
"If I remember correctly, you've already fallen out with me."
Li Qianxue's face was red, but she couldn't lose her temper. Su Chenghui stopped when he was ahead and finally stopped picking up food for her.
This meal was very uncomfortable for Li Qianxue. However, Old Master Huo turned his head to talk to her from time to time and asked about Old Master Li's situation.
Li Qianxue could only cheer up and answer. Su Chenghui also said a few words on the side.
Obviously, Old Master Huo thought that they were going to get married again. They were young people. They quarreled and reconciled. Wasn't that how life was?
Those who knew the inside story thought that the two of them were going to get married again. Those who didn't know the inside story always thought that they were a loving couple.
Li Qianxue didn't have the chance to explain at all. Soon, someone held a glass of wine and toasted the two of them.
After all, they were in-laws of the Huo family. Seeing Old Master Huo's attitude, when other people came to toast, they all toasted Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui.
This made Li Qianxue more and more uncomfortable. When it was almost time to end, she told Su Qingsang that she wasn't feeling well and had to go back to rest.
"Why go back? If you're tired, just rest here. "
Old Master Huo waved his hand and directly made the decision for them. "There are many guest rooms anyway. Tongjia, have you arranged everything?"
"Don't worry. Dad, everything has been arranged. "
Liu Tongjia was a qualified mistress of the Huo family. These small things were nothing to her.
Li Qianxue wanted to refuse, but Liu Tongjia had already taken her upstairs to the guest room. "If you drink too much, go up and rest for a while. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we still have to admire the moon at night. You can rest for a while. Later, we'll go to the garden in the back together. I have a few Datura flowers that are blooming well. There are also new chrysanthemums. The first batch has also bloomed. We can admire the moon and chrysanthemums later. "
Li Qianxue couldn't refuse. After entering the door, she had to rest for a while.
She was woken up by the ringtone when she was in a daze. When she opened her eyes and saw Su Yuxin's name displayed on the screen, she answered the video call from him without hesitation.
"Mom. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. "
This time, Old Master Li went to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Su Yuxin, so Li Qianxue came to Rong City to accompany Su Qingsang.
It was the first time Su Yuxin had left home, and the first time he hadn't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with Li Qianxue.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Li Qianxue was in a daze and didn't know what time it was. She sat up. Her voice was a little hoarse after drinking a little. She was about to get up to find a glass of water.
There was really a glass of water in front of her. Li Qianxue took it and drank half of it before she realized that the glass of water was actually brought over by Su Chenghui.
At the same time, Su Chenghui's figure appeared on Su Yuxin's screen. The person on the other side of the screen could see everything clearly.
"Dad?"
When Su Yuxin saw Su Chenghui's figure, he was stunned.
What was going on? Why was Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue together? The two of them were in the same room, and looking at Li Qianxue, it was obvious that she had just woken up.
Su Yuxin was no longer that naive boy who didn't know anything. He knew what it meant for a woman to wake up in bed with a man next to her.
"Yuxin, happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
Compared with Li Qianxue's stunned expression, Su Chenghui seemed much calmer. "Are you alone?"
"No, with Grandpa, Grandpa …"
Old Master Li was sitting behind Su Yuxin, so he naturally saw Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui.
"Qianxue, Chenghui, you …"
In such a situation, anyone would misunderstand.
"Dad, Yuxin, it's not what you think."
How could Li Qianxue let such a misunderstanding happen? She was anxious to explain. She was a little excited and almost couldn't hold the glass in her hand. Su Chenghui took it in time and put it aside.
Looking at it now, the two people on the other side of the screen were more likely to misunderstand.
"Then what is it?" Su Yuxin looked at Li Qianxue's hair, which was a little messy because of her sleep. "Mom, are you going to remarry?"
"No."
Li Qianxue answered quickly. Who was going to remarry Su Chenghui? She hated him and couldn't wait to dislike him.
"Qianxue?"
Old Master Li wasn't blind just now. He saw clearly that his daughter wanted to drink water, and Su Chenghui poured water for her.
It was obvious that they were very familiar with each other, and their coordination was very good. It was as if the two of them often did this.
Li Qianxue said that she was going to Rong City to see Su Qingsang, but he didn't expect that she would go with Su Chenghui. It was really surprising.
"Dad, don't ask. It's really not what you think. I'll explain to you when I come back. "
After saying this, Li Qianxue looked at Su Yuxin. "Yuxin, take good care of Grandpa. I'll fly to see you in two days."
"Okay."
Su Yuxin nodded. Li Qianxue quickly hung up the phone and turned to face Su Chenghui. She quickly changed her face, and her eyes were obviously angry.
"Why are you here?"
"What do you think?"
Su Chenghui sat down next to her and watched as Li Qianxue's body moved back a lot because of his movements.
"This is the guest room of the Huo family, and we are husband and wife. Of course, they arranged for us to be in the same room. "
"Who's husband and wife with you?" Li Qianxue didn't accept this excuse. "We're already divorced. It doesn't matter anymore. "
"But they don't know."
"Then why don't you explain it clearly?"
"Why should I explain?"
Su Chenghui's body leaned forward slightly. Seeing the dissatisfaction in Li Qianxue's eyes, he rarely showed his hooligan side.
"You don't know how happy I am to be misunderstood."
Crazy. Li Qianxue pushed him away and quickly got off the bed from the other side. However, her shoes were placed on Su Chenghui's side.
She wanted to leave without putting on her shoes. Su Chenghui saw it and quickly picked up the pair of shoes. He walked around the bed and stood in front of Li Qianxue.
"Put your shoes on."
"Put them down."
"Give me your feet." Su Chenghui reached out his hand to Li Qianxue and gestured for her to give him her feet.
"Are you going to help me put on my shoes?" Li Qianxue took a step back. She didn't intend to cooperate with Su Chenghui at all.
"Qianxue?"
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue looked at the shoes in his hand and then at Su Chenghui's calm face. She sneered.
"Who are you pretending to be affectionate for?"
The guest room of the Huo family was covered with a thick carpet. She didn't feel cold even if she stepped on it. She just crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at the man who was half-squatting in front of her. He looked servile and humble.
"Do you know that every time you show such a look in front of me, I'm not very touched. Instead, I feel like vomiting?"
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue and knew that she didn't have anything nice to say to him. He also knew that she wouldn't be polite to him. "I'm not pretending. I'm serious."
"And then?" Li Qianxue bent down and snatched the shoe from his hand without thinking. She couldn't bear it if he touched her things.
"I have to be grateful? Kneel down and thank you? "
"Qianxue, that's not what I meant."
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue put on the shoe and bent down to put on the other shoe. After putting it on, she stood up straight and glared at Su Chenghui coldly.
"Have you forgotten? Once, when we went to a banquet, my shoe was accidentally stuck in a crack in the ground. I asked you to help me take my shoe. What did you say at that time? "
Su Chenghui didn't lose his memory. On the contrary, ever since he divorced Li Qianxue, the scenes of his life in the past twenty years became clearer and clearer.
Of course, he remembered what she said.
Li Qianxue saw his reaction and knew that he hadn't forgotten. It was good that he hadn't forgotten.
"You said, 'Who do you think you are? Even if I'm the eldest daughter of the Li family, in your heart, I'm nothing. You won't love me, and you won't have feelings for me. You told me not to expect you to help me take my shoe even once. ' You said that, right? "
Su Chenghui's expression finally changed a little. He maintained his squatting posture and didn't move at all.
Li Qianxue didn't want to bring up the past. Some things were in the past. If Su Chenghui could stay away from her, she would never have said these words.
"There was another time when I excitedly bought a whole new set of clothes for you. Then, I went home and wanted you to try them on. When I put the pair of handmade leather shoes in front of you, you said –"
"Don't say it." Su Chenghui remembered. He hadn't forgotten. Even though that scene had happened more than twenty years ago, he hadn't forgotten it.
He didn't let her say it, but Li Qianxue insisted. "You said, so I'm really that cheap? I'm even willing to do something like carrying your shoes. Unfortunately, in your heart, I'm not even worthy of carrying your shoes. Right? "
"Don't say it. Qianxue, I beg you, don't say it. "Su Chenghui closed his eyes. He didn't want to listen anymore.
Li Qianxue didn't want to recall it either. Those memories weren't good at all. After tearing apart the first layer of skin, all that was left were the ugly and embarrassing memories of devastation.
"Alright, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Anyway, I believe in your memory, and I won't let you lose your memory."
"Do you know? Yesterday, Qingsang asked me if I had forgiven you. She asked me if I hated you so much because you changed her and Su Peizhen's identities. "
"Do you know what I answered her?"
"I told her. No. At least not completely. Knowing that you changed their identities was just the last straw that broke the camel's back for me. For more than twenty years, your sarcasm, indifference, and sarcasm towards me have been stabbing me in the heart time and time again. Su Chenghui, it's been twenty-six years. From the moment I fell in love with you until now, I've spent more than twenty-six years on you. Now, can I beg you? Can you be magnanimous and let me go? "
"After all, I'm not young anymore. I'm no longer a little girl in her early twenties. I really don't have the energy to play this kind of game with you. I love you, but you don't love me anymore."
"I'm in my forties and almost fifty years old. I can't afford to mess around. I don't want to mess around either. Please stay away from me in the future. "
