Chapter 473: She Knows My Secret
Li Qianxue glanced at her daughter. Her expression was rather mysterious. Aside from her, Old Master Li’s face also started showing quite a bit of displeasure as he recalled what had happened.
“What happened there?”
“Your mother-in-law knows.”
When Li Qianxue said this, her mood suddenly changed for the worse.
She did not expect Su Chenghui to be so shaless.
She had not forced Su Chenghui to sign the divorce papers all this while, rely for the sake of their two children. She didn’t want anyone to know that Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin had such a despicable father.
But Su Chenghui just didn’t know how to give up. While she had been in Rong City, she would still receive calls from Su Chenghui from ti to ti.
All this was only an act to show that he didn’t want to sign the papers. He clearly did not want a divorce.
Li Qianxue felt troubled thinking about Su Chenghui, this man, whom she had loved so much at the beginning, but hated very much now.
However, things had developed so much that over ti, that she did not just feel hatred towards him. She felt complete disgust also.
In order not to proceed with the divorce, Su Chenghui told all kinds of lies such as how he cared most about Li Qianxue now. He even recalled all the things that he did which he regretted now, admitting to her that he had been wrong.
Ha. Did he take her for a fool?
If she had not ntioned that she wanted Su Chenghui out of her life, would he have played out this performance, and said all these things?
He did not know where to draw the line, in terms of money and property. Li Qianxue had not been answering his calls recently.
Before she knew it, Su Chenghui had decided to change his ssage. He even told Li Qianxue that Su Peizhen had co to Rong City.
Su Chnghui had not known about Su Peizhen’s intention to go to Rong City at first. After all, she was the daughter whom he had doted on for so many years now.
After his conversation with Su Peizhen had ended that day, he just couldn’t rest easy. He knew in his heart that Su Peizhen was grieving.
He had thought to explain things clearly to Su Peizhen once and for all but did not expect to see Su Peizhen and Xiang Caiping together.
“Peizhen? Caiping?”
Su Chenghui watched mother and daughter, finally reunited with one other. He did not know why, but he suddenly felt ill about the whole thing.
“You... you have acknowledged each other.”
“Why? Are you surprised that we have reconciled with each other?” Xiang Caiping was disgusted to see Su Chenghui now. If it were not for him, how could she have mistaken her daughter for soone else?
How could her own daughter be driven out?
“No.” Su Chenghui looked at Su Peizhen and knew in his heart what his daughter was really like. Based on what he knew, his daughter would never have grown to like Xiang Caiping’s personality.
He even thought that Su Peizhen would actually hate Xiang Caiping. Hate her for abandoning her, and hate her for giving her the status of an illegitimate daughter.
But Su Chenghui had not expected that Su Peizhen would really go ahead with this. Now that she was even living with Xiang Caiping, it was really too much of a stretch for him to think about.
“Caiping, you, you and Peizhen–”
Su Peizhen’s words couldn’t be trusted. Su Chenghui would rather let Xiang Caiping speak and see what she would have to say instead.
He only understood a little about what Xiang Caiping was like. She had had a disagreent with Su Peizhen. Was it because she had an argunt with Su Qingsang before, that she could not really accept Su Peizhen without any bearing or any grudge?
Su Chenghui thought he understood Xiang Caiping. But his understanding was also based on what he knew from the past.
More importantly, he had not understood the heart of a mother and made assumptions based on what he had heard and believed. If one puts family over reason, one would inevitably be biased in his judgnt.
“Peizhen is my daughter.” Xiang Caiping didn’t mind letting Su Chenghui know. “You should also know that I hardly ever got along with her nor did I get to know her well in the years before. Now, all these errors have been corrected. What’s weird about acknowledging her now? ”
Su Chenghui didn’t know what to say. He had a tiny suspicion that sothing seed wrong. There seed to be sothing out of the ordinary.
But now he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. His gaze turned to Su Peizhen. “Peizhen?”
“Dad,” said Su Peizhen. When she saw Su Chenghui, her forehead throbbed with pain. She didn’t look well, but that feeling lasted only a few seconds.
Soon, she packed up her emotions and expressions. She pulled on Xiang Caiping’s arm and faced Su Chenghui.
“You seem to think this is weird. There is nothing strange about this. After all, I’m my mother’s daughter. Isn’t it expected that I would want to reconcile with her?
“Peizhen.” Su Chenghui looked at his daughter, and the feeling of suspicion that sothing was off not only did not go away but increased instead.
He didn’t want to speculate about his daughter with ill intentions, but Su Peizhen’s actions made him instinctively feel that sothing was wrong.
“Dad. Now that my mother and I are together, are you upset?”
Su Peizhen looked at Su Chenghui. Even if he was her father, she hated him now. “I feel rather happy now. After all, you and my aunt have driven out. Perhaps, I do still need to find a place to go to, don’t I?”
“Peizhen, I told you, your aunt didn’t an that. We only just–”
“You just said that I am no longer your daughter,” said Su Peizhen, interrupting him. “Okay. You don’t have to say anything more. Everything has been said and done. It doesn’t make any sense to add to any of that.”
Su Chenghui was speechless for a while, and he looked at Su Peizhen and Xiang Caiping. “Peizhen, no matter what, you are my most beloved daughter, and this will not change.”
“Is that so?” Su Peizhen smiled, and she took a step forward. Before Caiping could say anything, she interjected. “Since this is the case, please give the shares that are in your na.”
As soon as these words ca out, both Xiang Caiping and Su Chenghui were stunned.
Su Chenghui was especially baffled because he had not expected Su Peizhen to make such a request. He knew that Su Peizhen was resentful, thinking that it was she who was dissatisfied with herself.
“Peizhen, this won’t be possible.”
Based on the agreent with Li Qianxue, he was not allowed to give his shares to Su Peizhen.
Not to also ntion that he had hurt Li Qianxue so much before. If Su Peizhen was to be given the company’s shares, he was afraid Li Qianxue would never forgive him.
He truly loved Su Peizhen. However, in the past, Su Peizhen had gained a lot of business herself. Secondly, the one he truly felt sorry for was Li Qianxue.
He still wanted to ask Li Qianxue for forgiveness, considering the circumstances. He would never do anything more to make Li Qianxue unhappy.
“Look, you say that I am your most precious daughter, but the fact is that your love is just all words and no action.”
“Peizhen.” Su Chenghui couldn’t agree with this. He said, “if you want sothing else I can give it to you, but as for Li’s shares, they belong to your aunt. I don’t have the right to give them to you.”
“So it is my aunt’s then, but who will she give them to in the end? Su Qingsang? Su Yuxin? Whatever it is, I will never have a share in that, right? So you have proved through your actions that you don’t even consider your daughter at all. If that’s the case, why would you even think about saying anything more about considering your most beloved daughter? Don’t you think you are being quite fake? ”
“Peizhen,” sighed Su Chenghui. In the past few days, he had been feeling both ntally and physically exhausted.
His wife was divorcing him, and his two children were no longer close to him. The child who was closest to him was now starting to alienate him.
At that mont, when she said that, Su Chenghui took two steps back and looked at his daughter in complete shock.
“Peizhen, you know all that I have done for you over so many years. If it were ant to be yours I would give it to you. But you cannot claim a right to–”
“What is ant to belong to is just the status of an illegitimate daughter, right? After letting enjoy the wealthy life for more than 20 years, you just turned into the dust. Is this your demonstration of love for ?”
“Peizhen,” said Su Chenghui softly. He looked dreadful. He had not expected that his most beloved daughter would fight back like this. He didn’t have the energy to even fight back.
Su Peizhen sneered, and her tone beca sharper. “Dad, I don’t need to hear anything glib that you have to say anymore. I don’t want to listen, so please leave. I don’t want to see you.”
“Peizhen.”
“Let’s go,” said Su Peizhen as she turned to Xiang Caiping. “I have already found my birth mother now. I will live with my mother for the days to co. As for everything else, since you say that it does not belong to , I have nothing else to say to you. ”
“Peizhen, no matter what, I’m still your father!”
“Yes, and haven’t I called you ‘dad’ already? You can go now.”
Su Chenghui had wanted to say sothing else, but Xiang Caiping stepped forward before she could. “Can you please leave? My daughter says that she doesn’t want to see you.”
“Dad, you don’t need to look up in the future.” Su Peizhen didn’t mind letting Su Chenghui know where she was intending to go. “My mother and I have decided to leave Lin City, so please don’t co here next ti.”
“Leave Lin City?” Su Chenghui said in a panic. “Where are you going?”
“My mom has been growing her business in Rong City. Now, she wants to take back to Rong City to continue with our lives and her business. Dad, even if you don’t want , it doesn’t an that my mother doesn’t. Whatever you are not willing to give, my mother is willing to. Please don’t co to us again in the future. ”
“Peizhen–”
“That’s right.” Xiang Caiping took another step forward. “Su Chenghui, and daughter have nothing to do with you anymore. Please don’t co to us again.”
The behavior of the two of them was shockingly consistent. Su Chenghui had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Su Peizhen looked at Xiang Caiping after he left. “Mom, did you see that? The way Dad treats .”
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Peizhen, her eyes showing signs of a struggle. “Why did you ask your father for his shares?”
She really wanted to acknowledge her biological daughter, but she still didn’t think that Su Peizhen was really qualified to take Li’s shares.
What was more important was that those things belonged to only that woman, and it would be beneath them to want any of that.
“Mom, I did it on purpose.” Su Peizhen grabbed her arm coquettishly, like a daughter. “You saw it, my dad said that he loves the most, but he couldn’t bear to give an inkling of what I asked for. What would I want to do with that kind of love?”
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Peizhen, and she seed a little convinced, although she did still think there was sothing wrong with that. “I just don’t want to gain anything from that woman, and I want you to feel the sa.”
“Mom, I don’t want their stuff. I just wanted to test my dad and see what his reaction would be like.” Su Peizhen wrung her hands helplessly. “You saw it yourself just now. My dad didn’t want to give anything to at all. How can he prove that he loves when all he does is rely open his mouth to say it.”
