Li Qianxue had been there for the past few days because she wanted to spend time with her son. Therefore, she didn't let her assistant follow her and came alone.
She was carrying a suitcase in one hand and a gift for Su Yuxin in the other.
The moment she saw Su Chenghui, she almost dropped the gift in her hand. For a moment, she suspected that he had bribed Yang Rong. Otherwise, how would he know that the good news was coming?
Su Chenghui really didn't follow her on purpose. He came to the capital to discuss a cooperation project. Then, because Su Yuxin's birthday was coming up, she came over to see him.
Because Su Yuxin's residence was not far from the city, he did not stay in a hotel. Instead, he stayed at Su Yuxin's place.
At this moment, he was holding a document bag in his hand and dressed in a suit and leather shoes. It seemed that he was about to go out.
When he saw Li Qianxue enter the door, he stopped in his tracks, as if he didn't expect Li Qianxue to come.
The two of them stood in the spacious living room and stared at each other.
"Why are you here?"
After Li Qianxue asked the question, she realized that she had asked a stupid question.
Before the divorce, Su Yuxin had decided to go to university in the capital. She and Su Chenghui had picked this house together.
The neighborhood was good, the property was good, and it was close to Imperial Capital University. Even though Su Yuxin had only been studying here for a few years, in order to make his son live comfortably, the two of them had done their homework before coming here.
After the house was bought, the decorations were done according to Su Yuxin's favorite style and were done by the decoration company.
After that, Li Qianxue also came a few times. Every time she came to see her son, she stayed here. As for Su Chenghui, she had never met him.
"I came to see Yuxin."
The corners of Li Qianxue's lips curled up, and there was mockery in her eyes. Her eyes fell on the document bag in Su Chenghui's hand. Without saying anything, she carried her luggage into the house.
She took the gift for her son to his room and was about to go to the guest room with her clothes, only to find that the guest room was already occupied by Su Chenghui. Her expression was somewhat unsightly.
The location of the house where Su Yuxin went to school was good, and the layout was also good. But there was one thing.
In the beginning, Li Qianxue wanted her son to live more comfortably, so she connected the two houses into one. The place was huge, but there were only three rooms.
One was given to Su Yuxin as the master bedroom, one was a guest room, and one was a study. There's nothing more.
Looking at the overly spacious living room outside, Li Qianxue's expression did not look good.
Su Chenghui didn't leave. He followed Li Qianxue to the door of the guest room. Of course, he also saw the suitcase he had left in the room.
"You stay here. I'll squeeze in with Yuxin."
Li Qianxue turned to look at him, and the corners of her lips curled up with a hint of coldness. "I'm more inclined to let you stay in a hotel."
She was there to celebrate Su Yuxin's birthday. What was Su Chenghui doing here?
"Qianxue." Su Chenghui seemed very helpless. "I am also Yuxin's father."
"Heh. Yeah, I know. " Li Qianxue crossed her arms in front of her chest, her expression uneasy. "If you weren't the father of two children, do you think you would still be standing here now?"
Su Chenghui wasn't angry at her words. He went into his room and began to pack his things.
He had only been here for two days, so he didn't have too many things. She packed up her things and carried her suitcase to Su Yuxin's room.
While he was doing these things, Li Qianxue had been watching him. There was no expression on her face, but it was obvious that she was very unhappy, very unhappy.
Su Chenghui finished packing and was about to go out. He looked at his watch. "Qianxue, I'm going out for a while. You – "
"If you want to go, then go. I don't need you to care about me."
Su Chenghui actually wanted to stay, but he had business to attend to. After thinking about it, he decided to leave first.
He left, but Li Qianxue's expression didn't improve much. There had been a lot of things to do in the company during this period of time. She also wanted to take this opportunity to rest for a few days.
Now that she saw Su Chenghui, she only felt angry. She had a feeling that her vacation had been ruined.
Damn it.
..
Su Yuxin was very busy with schoolwork. After the afternoon class, he rejected his friend's appointment and went home.
However, he didn't expect to see his mother instead of his father when he opened the door.
"Mom? Why are you here? "
"I'm here to see you." Facing her son, Li Qianxue restrained all her emotions.
Speaking of which, neither of her two children went smoothly. When she gave birth to Su Qingsang for the first time, the position of the fetus was not right. It took her a long time to give birth to the child.
It was even more so when she gave birth to Su Yuxin. At that time, her relationship with Su Chenghui was cold. When she was pregnant, her emotions fluctuated too much. She still hadn't forgotten that when Su Yuxin was born, his body was much thinner and smaller than the average child.
In the blink of an eye, her son had grown up so much, and in the blink of an eye, he was already in college.
"Where's my dad?" Su Yuxin glanced into the room but didn't find Su Chenghui.
"Who knows." Li Qianxue didn't want to mention Su Chenghui. "Yuxin, it's your birthday in a few days. Mom bought you a lot of gifts. Also, didn't you say that you liked Aston Martin last time? The car will be delivered tomorrow. I picked your favorite white one. "
"Mom. There's no need. I have a car. "Su Yuxin had a headache. He used to go to school in Lin City. Now that he was in the capital, he was going to drive a sports car to class?
"How is it exaggerated?" Li Qianxue adjusted her son's collar. "If you like it, then drive it. It's just a car."
Su Yuxin decided not to discuss this issue with Li Qianxue. For Li Qianxue, ever since the divorce, she wanted to be twice as good to her two children.
"Mom, when did you arrive? Have you eaten? "
"I just ate something outside for lunch. Aren't we waiting for you for dinner? "
When Li Qianxue heard Su Yuxin say that he was hungry, she immediately looked at the time. "It's getting late. Yuxin, are you hungry? Let's go eat. I checked when I came. There are a few good restaurants near the Capital University. "
"Mom." Su Yuxin was a little hesitant. "I promised to have dinner with Dad tonight."
Li Qianxue's expression suddenly became a little subtle. What she didn't want to hear the most now was everything related to Su Chenghui.
"Let's go eat. Don't worry about him. Give him a call and tell him to take care of it outside. "
"Mom." Su Yuxin had a headache.
Ever since he was young, Su Chenghui had indeed spent the most effort on Su Peizhen. However, he was a boy. He wouldn't say that he was so jealous of his sister.
Another thing was that Su Chenghui was actually very good to him. He had a good relationship with Su Chenghui.
"It's decided then. Call him …"
Li Qianxue saw the gloomy look on her son's face halfway through her words. She swallowed the rest of her words.
What was she doing? Forcing her son to break off relations with Su Chenghui? Asking her son to disown Su Chenghui?
Even if she and Su Chenghui divorced, it was still between her and Su Chenghui. Why did she have to involve the child?
"Forget it." Li Qianxue waved her hand and sat back on the sofa. "Ask him where he is."
She originally wanted to be angry and let Su Yuxin and Su Chenghui go eat together. She would rather starve than eat with Su Chenghui.
However, for the sake of the child, she didn't want to do this. This was a different matter. She couldn't vent her anger on the child because of what Su Chenghui had done.
"Mom." Su Yuxin knew that since Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui divorced, she had never liked him. "If you really don't want to see Dad, why don't we go eat together and let him settle it himself?"
"Okay." Li Qianxue patted the back of Su Yuxin's hand. "Do you think I don't know you? If I really do that, you probably won't be able to sleep tonight. "
Su Yuxin didn't refute. Su Yuxin was a father, and Li Qianxue was a mother.
He really didn't want their relationship to be too stiff, but unfortunately, he couldn't break the deadlock in front of him.
..
When Li Qianxue and her son arrived at the restaurant she had booked before, Su Chenghui hadn't arrived yet. It was better if he didn't come. They could have a good talk.
Although they had video calls and often contacted each other. It was different to see her son in person.
"Why do you feel a little thinner? Is it because your schoolwork is too heavy? Don't tire yourself out too much. "
"How am I tired? Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. "Su Yuxin picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Li Qianxue. As for the topic of him losing weight, he didn't answer. Generally, a mother would feel thinner if she didn't see her child for a few days.
"It's good that you know what you're doing."
Li Qianxue came to celebrate Su Yuxin's birthday this time. "Yuxin, how do you want to celebrate your birthday? You should have good classmates in college, right? Why don't I book a place to hold a party and invite all your classmates and professors? "
"Mom, there's no need –" Su Yuxin was only halfway through his words when the door of the private room was opened.
Su Chenghui came. He was stunned when he saw Li Qianxue. He thought she didn't want to see him.
Li Qianxue really didn't want to see him. When he entered the door, she turned her gaze away and didn't intend to look at him at all.
The atmosphere in the private room was inexplicably a little strange. Su Yuxin stood up at this time to smooth things over.
"Dad, you're here? You haven't eaten yet, right? The dishes are ordered. I'll ask them to serve the dishes since you're here. "
He rang the bell to ask the waiter to serve the dishes. Su Yuxin thought for a moment and asked Su Chenghui to sit on the other side of him. With him there to separate the two of them, it might be a little less awkward.
But in this way, Li Qianxue, who was originally looking at him, could naturally see Su Chenghui.
As for Su Chenghui, his eyes never left Li Qianxue.
"Dad. Are you done with your work? "
"Yes." Su Chenghui nodded, and his face finally relaxed a little. "It's going well. Everything will be fine tomorrow and the day after."
Su Yuxin's birthday was the day after tomorrow, which happened to be Saturday. "What gift does Yuxin want? Daddy will give you a lift. "
"No need, I don't lack anything."
"Didn't you say you liked the Aston Martin V12?
Vantage？ How about I order one for you? "
Su Chenghui remembered seeing his son's post on WeChat.
Picture of Vantage.
"No need." This time, it was Li Qianxue who spoke. Her face was gloomy, and a storm was gathering in her eyes. "I've already bought a car for my son. There's no need for you to send me. "
As Li Qianxue spoke, there was a flash of mockery in her eyes. "If you want to give someone a gift, you have to ask first. It was obvious that she did not care about the child at all. But you've always been like this. All these years, I've seen you carefully prepare Su Peizhen's present. When have you ever cared about the other two children's birthdays? "
"Mom."
Su Yuxin did not expect that Li Qianxue would take advantage of this opportunity to make things difficult for him. It wasn't as exaggerated as Li Qianxue said. It was just that relatively speaking, Su Chenghui was a little strict with him. But this was only because he was a boy. He understood.
"Qianxue." Su Chenghui didn't know what else he could say. He came from an ordinary background, and he relied entirely on his own efforts to achieve what he had today.
He had never advocated spoiling children. Even the gifts he had given Su Peizhen in the past weren't necessarily very expensive. They were all things that they could use on a daily basis.
After all, there was Li Qianxue and Old Master Li at home. The children usually got enough.
However, he didn't expect such a thing to be interpreted like this in Li Qianxue's eyes.
"I always keep my children's birthdays in mind. I didn't order a car at the time because Yuxin is going to school here now. It's the same if I really need to go back to Lin City to prepare for him. "
"You have to choose the time and place to give a gift. To put it bluntly, aren't you just not caring?"
"He's just going to school here. It's not appropriate for him to drive a sports car every day."
"Look at what you're saying. What's wrong with my son driving a sports car? Those third-rate celebrities swagger around the streets in sports cars. There's no reason why Yuxin can't, right? "
"That's not what I meant at all." Su Chenghui didn't want to argue with Li Qianxue, and he didn't understand where her anger came from. "I mean, Yuxin is still going to school."
Su Yuxin knew why Li Qianxue was angry, but before he could speak, Li Qianxue's face had already darkened. It was quite ugly.
"Su Chenghui. On Su Peizhen's eighteenth birthday, you bought her a Ferrari. Do you want me to say it? "
"I …"
"All these years, how have you treated Su Peizhen? How have you treated Yuxin and Qingsang? Do you want me to tell you one thing at a time? "
The atmosphere in the private room dropped to a freezing point. Su Yuxin felt a headache coming on. "Dad, Mom, stop arguing."
Li Qianxue couldn't stay any longer. "Argue? Who wants to argue with him? Look at him. How is he a father? He didn't even prepare a gift for your birthday. Is this how he acts as a father? "
She couldn't go on. Her heart was stifled. She stood up and was about to leave.
Su Yuxin quickly grabbed her. "Mom, calm down. It's not that exaggerated. Dad came to prepare a gift for me the day before yesterday. Really. "
"What? Randomly picked out a watch? Has he ever treated you with affection? Has he ever treated Qingsang with affection? "
Li Qianxue wasn't a person who liked to bring up old scores. She came out today because she wanted to have a good meal with her son. However, Su Chenghui's attitude just now really made her angry. "Look at how he treats Su Peizhen, and how he treats you and Qingsang. He doesn't deserve to be a father at all. "
"Mom." Su Yuxin really regretted it now. If he had known earlier, he would have let Su Chenghui eat out. "Dad isn't like what you said. He usually treats me very well. You know that."
Su Yuxin really didn't think it was a big deal. He usually had pocket money, and Old Master Li and Li Qianxue wouldn't let the child suffer.
In the past, he and Su Peizhen had learned to make their own investments. He would buy whatever he wanted. He didn't understand why Li Qianxue was so angry.
Perhaps he knew, but he really didn't think it was necessary.
"Mom, you're here to accompany me, right? Can we have a good meal? "
Li Qianxue didn't speak. Looking at her son's face, she sat down again in the end.
At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Li Qianxue ordered all of Su Yuxin's favorites. No matter how powerful she was outside, she really loved her two children.
At this time, she didn't want to argue with Su Chenghui anymore. She kept putting food into Su Yuxin's bowl. However, from beginning to end, she didn't look at Su Chenghui.
After all, she didn't want Su Yuxin to worry. She was very depressed during the meal, but she still forced herself to squeeze out a smile.
This made Li Qianxue feel very bad. Finally, after the meal, when Su Chenghui got up, she threw a dagger in his direction.
… …
In the evening, after ending the video call with Su Qingsang, she called Old Master Li again. Li Qianxue went out of the room to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.
When she walked out of the room, she saw Su Chenghui sitting on the sofa. He had a cigarette in his hand, but it wasn't lit.
Li Qianxue stopped in her tracks. "If you want to smoke, go out. Don't pollute the air here."
"I don't smoke." Su Chenghui did want to use the tobacco to relax for a while, but it was just a thought.
After throwing the cigarette into the trash can, he stood up and looked at Li Qianxue.
"Qianxue, I don't want to smoke."
She didn't understand why he explained so carefully. Anyway, Li Qianxue didn't care about this. "It's fine as long as you don't smoke in this room. You don't have to tell me. You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me. "
"Qianxue." Su Chenghui took two steps forward and stood in front of her. He looked at her face, and there was a hint of pain in his eyes. "It's not that I don't care. Whether it's Yuxin or Qingsang, they're all my children. I … "
"They're all your children. So? On Su Peizhen's birthday, you held a party every year. Every year, you invited a group of people to celebrate her. Every year, you prepared birthday gifts for her early. What about the other two? "
"Qianxue."
Su Chenghui's expression was bitter. "It's not fair for you to blame me like this, because you were the one who wanted to hold a party for Peizhen. Do you remember? I stopped you a long time ago. You were the one who insisted on celebrating her like this. "
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue was very angry. "How can you have the face to mention it? Why did I have to celebrate it? That's because I thought she was my child. As the granddaughter of the Li family, of course, she can enjoy the treatment she deserves. "
"But what about you? What did you do? All these years, Qingsang and Su Peizhen's birthdays were only one day apart. What about Qingsang? Have you ever done anything for her? "
Su Chenghui couldn't refute, but at this moment, he understood one thing.
Perhaps what Li Qianxue hated the most was not that he didn't love her, but because … "Qianxue, do you hate me because you think I mistreated the two children?"
