The next week, Su Chenghui was busy again. He was going to Rong City, and he had a lot of homework to do before he went.
However, he was still very concerned about Li Qianxue. He had to report to the Li Corporation every day, even if it was just to see Li Qianxue and talk to her.
After the firing of Jing Shu, he was very sensitive to the fact that Li Qianxue's attitude towards him had also changed subtly.
She used to say that she would give him a chance, but in fact, she was just watching.
She watched him coldly from the sidelines, watching him show his determination. She only watched him, as if she was observing him.
However, after the incident with Jing Shu, every time Li Qianxue looked at him, the smile in her eyes became more gentle and intimate.
He was delighted with this change. He felt extremely confident that he would be able to persuade Li Qianxue one day.
A few days later, Su Chenghui finally went to Rong City.
No matter how he persuaded, Li Qianxue refused to go with him. In the end, he had no choice but to go with Qiao Ran.
After going to Rong City, he first went to visit Old Master Huo. This was what he had to do every time he went to Rong City. As he came to Rong City more often, his relationship with the Huo family became closer.
He didn't need to borrow the Huo family's power, nor did he need Huo Jinyao to provide him with any help. This kind of non-utilitarian interaction also made Old Master Huo think highly of him.
Every time he saw Su Chenghui, he would pull him to play chess. He would let him live directly at the Huo family's house.
Su Chenghui also liked Su Qingsang's twins very much, so he would accompany them whenever he came.
After staying at the Huo family's house for a day, Su Chenghui went to do his own things.
The company that he was going to talk about this time had some cooperation with Su Chenghui in the past, but it was all small-scale, and the impact and benefits were not big.
This was the first time the other party had made such a big deal since they developed. Seriously speaking, with Su Chenghui's experience and previous experience, there were many people who wanted to cooperate with him.
This time, the other party deliberately put on a show. They said that the decision maker would come back tomorrow and asked him to wait for a day.
Su Chenghui was also an experienced man. How could he not understand the other party's trick?
He said on the spot that he happened to have something to deal with and told them not to rush and to take their time.
After Su Chenghui left the other party's company, he went to the prison to see Su Peizhen. Every time he came to Rong City, Su Chenghui would come to see Su Peizhen.
However, he didn't expect that Su Peizhen wasn't in prison. Su Chenghui was shocked. To him, the three children were all his children.
He would think of a way to make it up to her. Whether they wanted such compensation or not, he wanted to do it.
Later, Su Chenghui found out that Su Peizhen was in the hospital. He hurried to the hospital. On the way there, he chatted with a prison guard who was sitting in his car.
It turned out that Su Peizhen's sentence had been reduced by half a year because of her meritorious service. In the past six months, her performance had been particularly good. If she didn't make any mistakes in the second half of the year, it wouldn't be a problem for her to get a reduced sentence.
Su Peizhen knew that, but for her, she still trained on time every day and lived a life that was no different from cultivation. He wanted to perform well and get out of here as soon as possible.
It was just that she didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble had come to her head.
A few days ago, a few newcomers came to the prison. For some reason, one of them had entered this place. He seemed to be mentally weak.
She cried the whole night on her first day in prison. After being educated by the prison guards, she restrained herself.
But the next day, she cried again. The prison guard had no choice. He was afraid that she would affect others, so he temporarily gave her a single room.
He didn't expect the newcomer to take this as a punishment. The next day, when the guards weren't paying attention, he climbed to the roof of the third floor of the prison and wanted to jump off.
Su Peizhen happened to see him. Because the other party was about to jump off the building, Su Peizhen didn't return to the prison cell after informing the prison guard. Instead, she followed the prison guard upstairs, trying to persuade the newcomer to come down.
The newcomer became even more excited when he saw someone coming up to persuade him. At that time, there were only two prison guards at the scene. When they called for help, the newcomer wanted to jump down the building.
Su Peizhen, who had learned a few moves of fighting and self-defense, pounced forward without thinking and pulled the person back.
In the end, she successfully pulled the woman back, but when she was saving the person, she was knocked back by the huge impact and fell to the ground.
Then, the back of her head hit the ground. She fainted. Su Peizhen was injured and sent to the hospital.
When Su Chenghui rushed to the hospital, the prison guard comforted him and said that although Su Peizhen was injured, with such a meritorious service, she should be able to get a reduced sentence.
The prison guard's words made Su Chenghui unhappy. He felt that he had failed in his duty.
Looking at the pale and extremely weak Su Peizhen in the ward, Su Chenghui's heart didn't feel good.
When she woke up, he asked someone to buy some nutrients for Su Peizhen. Then, he waited for Su Peizhen to wake up.
When Su Peizhen woke up and saw Su Chenghui, she was a little surprised.
Ever since she was in prison, other than Xiang Caiping, Su Chenghui had come to see her more often.
However, she didn't know what Su Chenghui had been busy with for the past two months. It had been a long time since he came to see her.
"Dad?" She wanted to get up, but Su Chenghui pressed her shoulder.
"Rest well. The doctor said that you have a slight concussion. Don't get up."
Concussion? Su Peizhen felt a pain coming from the back of her head. Only then did she realize what was wrong with her.
Su Chenghui poured her a glass of water and fed her. Su Peizhen, who had recovered, was also energetic.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"I came to Rong City to discuss some business and to see you. I didn't expect – "
Su Chenghui paused for a moment and looked at Su Peizhen with some disapproval. "Say, you're really too much. Other people want to avoid danger when they encounter danger, but you took the initiative to rush forward. Really – "
What he didn't say was that even if Su Peizhen wanted to go out, it wouldn't matter if she stayed for a year or so.
"It's okay. It's fine, isn't it?" The newbie looked pitiful. It also reminded her of herself when she had just been imprisoned.
In fact, she had once thought of committing suicide, but this kind of thought was stopped by her strong heart.
Su Peizhen's words made Su Chenghui speechless. After thinking for a moment, he said tentatively, "Peizhen, you're injured now. It's considered a meritorious service. Dad will help you apply for medical parole and then just come out, okay? "
"Can I?" Su Peizhen seemed a little surprised. "It's not that easy, is it?"
"It's not easy, but it's not particularly difficult either. You performed very well in prison and made a meritorious service. If you really want to come out, it's not too difficult. "
Su Peizhen's original sentence was because Huo Jinyao wanted to punish her, so he gave her a heavier sentence. Honestly speaking, it was not worth five years.
"Dad will find you a lawyer and appeal again. Then we'll see if we can get you out quickly. "
Su Peizhen pursed her lips and looked at Su Chenghui. Finally, she reached out and held his hand. "Dad, don't force yourself. If you can, then you can. If you can't, then forget it. I don't care. One or two years won't matter to me. "
"Peizhen?"
Su Chenghui was surprised by his daughter's change. More than a year in prison had greatly worn down her willpower.
Su Peizhen thought differently from Su Chenghui. "It's okay. Really. "
In fact, prison life was not that horrible. At least in her opinion, more than a year in prison had made her grow up.
"I'll go back and ask the lawyer."
In the end, Su Chenghui couldn't bear to let his daughter leave such a place.
In the next two days, Su Chenghui went to the hospital to see Su Peizhen other than work. Xiang Caiping also knew about Su Peizhen's injury.
She only found out that Su Peizhen was injured and was hospitalized after receiving a call from the prison.
Su Peizhen's concussion was not serious. She would be fine after two days of observation. Xiang Caiping, who had heard the news, hurried over. Naturally, she bumped into Su Chenghui.
In the past, Su Chenghui would come to visit Su Peizhen, but they never met, so she didn't mind.
Now that he saw Su Chenghui, he only felt that new hatred and old hatred had come to his head.
She really hated Su Chenghui. Not only did she not treat him nicely, but she also kicked him out.
"How can you have the face to come here? It's all your fault that our daughter is like this. Su Chenghui, you are a sinner. It's all your fault. It's all you. "
"Get lost. I don't want to see you, and my daughter doesn't need your pity. "
"Su Chenghui, don't come to see Peizhen again."
Xiang Caiping was so emotional that Su Chenghui had no choice but to leave.
However, he didn't spend too much time with her. After all, Su Peizhen's injury was not serious. After two days of observation, she was discharged from the hospital and returned to prison.
Su Chenghui didn't feel relieved because of this. Instead, he felt even more guilty and blamed himself.
Su Peizhen hadn't fully recovered from her injuries. Now that she couldn't even get the most basic care, she would have to go back to that very difficult environment.
As a father, he had doted on Su Peizhen for so many years. How could he not care about her?
He was living in the Huo Family now. Although it was not to the extent of being criticized, Su Qingsang still had to care about what he was doing.
One day, when Su Chenghui came home, he looked a little pale. She asked a few questions with concern.
Su Qingsang was a little surprised to know that Su Peizhen was injured because she saved someone. She was even more surprised when she found out that Su Peizhen was hospitalized in the hospital where she worked.
Yesterday, she heard that there was a police officer in the surgical ward. At that time, she didn't understand what was going on, but now she knew.
If Su Chenghui wanted Su Peizhen to come out earlier, he would definitely tell Su Qingsang about it.
He told Su Qingsang his plan. Looking at Su Qingsang, he was a little embarrassed. "Qingsang, I also know that Peizhen has wronged you in the past. But she has really changed now. She has lost a lot of weight. Her whole person has changed. I was thinking, if possible, should we let her come out earlier? "
Su Qingsang didn't say anything. She didn't have that much conflict with Su Peizhen. It was Huo Jinyao who had emotions.
"Dad, I don't want to stop you or oppose what you want to do. But it's better if you tell Mom. "
There were some things that she could let go of, but it didn't mean that others could.
Just like how Huo Jinyao wouldn't forgive Su Peizhen, Li Qianxue probably felt the same way about Su Peizhen.
With such a premise, if Su Chenghui really had any ideas, it was better to tell Li Qianxue.
"Qingsang?" Su Chenghui didn't think about this. Should he tell Li Qianxue?
Before resolving Li Qianxue's attitude, Su Chenghui was more concerned about Su Qingsang's attitude. "You really don't mind? It's what Peizhen did in the past. I know that she made a big mistake. If you still feel resentful and blame her, then I won't consider it. "
He had been biased before, but now he couldn't let himself be like that again.
If Su Qingsang really didn't understand Su Peizhen and felt that she hadn't been punished enough, then he could only do nothing and let Su Peizhen stay in prison until she received all the punishment.
Su Qingsang was a little surprised by Su Chenghui's words. His attitude was quite rare for her.
In the past, Su Chenghui would only stand on Su Peizhen's side unconditionally.
"Dad, if I'm still angry, are you really going to ignore her?"
"Yes." Su Chenghui nodded heavily. Even though he felt sorry for her, he didn't want to hurt Su Qingsang's heart.
Although Su Qingsang had been interacting with Su Chenghui more than usual during this period of time, in her eyes, Su Chenghui was still Su Chenghui.
Whether he wanted to pursue Li Qianxue or save their relationship, it was all his own business. It had nothing to do with her.
She didn't expect Su Chenghui to say such a thing, and a very subtle feeling arose in her heart.
She looked into Su Chenghui's eyes very seriously. She knew that what he said was true.
If she really minded, Su Chenghui wouldn't have let Su Peizhen out earlier. She was already a mother. After being disappointed and desperate for a long time, she actually felt fatherly love for the first time.
This feeling was very strange.
She thought of the two children sleeping in the small bed upstairs and suddenly shook her head. "Dad, I don't mind. You can do whatever you want. "
"Qingsang?" It was one thing to know that Su Qingsang was magnanimous and affectionate, but it was another thing to really know her. "You –"
Su Qingsang saw Su Chenghui's excitement, and she spoke very seriously.
"Dad, I really don't mind, but I'm not sure if Mom minds."
Su Qingsang knew that Li Qianxue had promised to give Su Chenghui a chance. It meant that Li Qianxue still had feelings for Su Chenghui.
However, Li Qianxue was a very strong-willed person. Some things were her bottom line. Su Qingsang knew this very well after interacting with her during this period of time.
"Dad, I think that if you really want to be with Mom in the future, it's better to make some things clear in advance."
"Okay." Su Chenghui nodded. His eyes were deep as he fell into deep thought.
How could he make Li Qianxue change her mind and not be angry at him for finding a lawyer for Su Peizhen?
…
Li Qianxue had just taken a shower. When she received a video call from Su Chenghui, she looked at her pajamas and answered the call.
"Qianxue?"
"Yes." Li Qianxue put her phone on the stand of the dressing table and began to do her skincare. "What's wrong?"
"I miss you."
Su Chenghui's words made Li Qianxue stop applying the toner. She looked at Su Chenghui on the other end of the video call and asked, "What's wrong? Did things not go well at work? "
Although he often confessed, she could still hear the trace of fatigue in his voice.
"No." Su Chenghui shook his head and looked at Li Qianxue. He knew that Su Peizhen's previous behavior had hurt her heart. Otherwise, with Li Qianxue's personality, she would never break off relations with Su Peizhen.
Li Qianxue wasn't wrong. Su Peizhen had already paid the price for her mistake.
But after all, she was his daughter. Su Chenghui hoped that she could live a good life. At least she didn't have to work so hard or even have no freedom.
Li Qianxue held her chin with one hand and looked at Su Chenghui. "What happened?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, she calculated the time and said, "Speaking of which, you've been in Rong City for four days, right? What's so troublesome? Didn't you say you'd be back in three days? "
Li Qianxue could see that the background behind him was the guest room of the Huo family. Su Chenghui was still in the Huo family, so what couldn't he solve?
"Qianxue?"
Su Chenghui really couldn't open his mouth. He realized that there was too little he could do for Su Peizhen.
This made him feel very guilty, but this kind of guilt was insignificant compared to the guilt he felt for Li Qianxue. In his heart, no one could be more important than Li Qianxue.
If he could, he wished that time could go back. He wouldn't mess around and be so irresponsible again. He wouldn't change the child regardless of the consequences.
Even if he changed the child, he should have taught Su Peizhen a good lesson.
Su Peizhen's current situation was caused by him. Every time Su Chenghui thought of this, he couldn't stay calm anymore.
He hadn't passed Li Qianxue's observation period yet, and he didn't know how to pass it. But one thing was very clear. Li Qianxue didn't like Su Peizhen. She was very disgusted with Su Peizhen.
He knew this very well.
The situation in front of him was to hide it from Li Qianxue. If Li Qianxue found out in the future, she would definitely be unhappy.
She was a person who couldn't bear to have sand in her eyes. He believed that Li Qianxue wouldn't care about Su Peizhen's affairs, let alone Su Peizhen's current situation.
"Su Chenghui." Li Qianxue, who was not satisfied with his attitude, spoke again. "If you have something to say, say it."
With their current relationship, it seemed that there was nothing to hide.
"Well …" Su Chenghui was thinking about how to say it. "I went to see Peizhen two days ago."
Hearing him say the name of his adopted daughter, Li Qianxue's expression changed. To be honest, she had given her motherly love to Su Peizhen.
But in the end, Su Peizhen's behavior disappointed her. She had wanted to save Su Peizhen some face.
But in the end, she didn't get what she wanted. Now that Su Chenghui suddenly mentioned Su Peizhen, she was in a daze for a moment.
The time when she was close to Su Peizhen and her mother seemed to be a long time ago. Recently, there was only Su Qingsang, her child, and Su Yuxin in her heart.
Except for the occasional midnight dreams, she rarely thought about Su Peizhen.
When Su Chenghui suddenly mentioned Su Peizhen, she realized that the disappointment was still there.
"What happened to her?" She tried to control her expression and asked casually.
"She was injured in the hospital a few days ago." As Su Chenghui spoke, he carefully observed Li Qianxue's reaction on the screen. "She was injured while trying to save someone."
He explained the situation, mentioned that Su Peizhen might get a lighter sentence this time, and said that he wanted to find a lawyer to appeal for Su Peizhen again.
If possible, he hoped that Su Peizhen could be released as soon as possible. This was his guilt towards Su Peizhen.
