Chapter 477: Don’t Treat Like A Child
The last thing Li Qianxue wanted to hear was Su Chenghui’s na. However, she had no choice but to return to Lin City this ti to deal with the unresolved issues between Su Chenghui and herself.
“Alright, this matter is between adults. Don’t worry about it.”
Li Qianxue’s words made Su Qingsang laugh. “Mom, I’m married now, so don’t treat like a child.”
“I do want to treat you as a child.”
If Su Qingsang was still a child, then she would be able to start over again build the mother-daughter relationship they never had. Despite the current circumstances, and no matter how much she cared about her daughter, there was still a gap of twenty years.
If Su Qingsang was still a child, she would have stopped and prevented her from studying dicine. She should have studied business. That way, she could keep her on her side to help with the company.
Nevertheless, so things were in the past, and there was nothing she could do besides regret. However, she couldn’t let the person who caused it all to be off the hook.
Su Qingsang could not convince Li Qianxue, but only watch her enter the boarding gate and then leave.
“Let’s go.”
When both of them could no longer be seen, Huo Jinyao hugged Su Qingsang’s shoulder.
“Huo Jinyao,” called Su Qingsang. She suddenly turned to look at Huo Jinyao and asked, “why am I developing an anxious feeling?”
“You think too much.”
The hatred Li Qianxue had for Su Chenghui was strong enough for her to get a divorce and leave him penniless.
Li Qianxue wouldn’t go and murder Su Chenghui, though. She would have already done it if she had wanted to. If she did not act on her anger in the past, she could not be driven by the sa impulse anymore now, right?
“Let’s go, Maybe I’m overthinking it.”
She hadn’t felt sorry for Xiang Caiping before this. However, now that she knew what Su Chenghui had done, she pitied her.
“Jinyao, what do you think Aunt Xiang is doing now–”
“If you want to know, I’ll find soone to investigate it.” Huo Jinyao also knew that Xiang Caiping was a good person. He had nothing but respect for her after spending a few months together with her.
“No, it’s alright,” said Su Qingsang as she thought of the news she had gotten previously. “Anyway, Su Peizhen has already recognized her, so I am assuming that they would be having a good ti together.”
Xiang Caiping was a very good person. Su Peizhen would co to realize Xiang Caiping’s goodness sooner or later.
Once she realized it, with so ti, she would eventually accept Xiang Caiping. Then, Xiang Caiping would finally get what she deserved.
Huo Jinyao couldn’t agree with this, because Su Peizhen was a girl who was used to being treated like a precious lady. Now, she suddenly recognized a woman with no power nor a decent background. He was on the fence in this matter, knowing Su Peizhen’s personality.
However, he decided not to convey his predicant to Su Qingsang. She might overthink, so he said, “let’s go ho.”
“Yeah. Let’s go.” Su Qingsang needed to get ready to start work tomorrow.
...
Soon after Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had left the airport, another plane landed on the runway.
Xiang Caiping hadn’t expected herself to co back here after everything. She only left for a few months, but what had happened made her feel like years had passed.
“Mom... Be careful.” Su Peizhen held Xiang Caiping’s arm with a sweet smile on her face. “You haven’t fully recovered from your lower back injury. You should be more careful when going up and down the stairs.”
“It’s fine. I feel like I have almost recovered.”
Since Xiang Caiping recognized her daughter, her mood gradually improved. She had a complete transformation from being her lifeless old self to participating actively in physical therapy.
Now she could engage in her daily routine with no problems, except when carrying heavy duties or doing extre sports.
“You should be careful nevertheless,” Su Peizhen told Xiang Caiping. “When we get ho, I am going to hire two caretakers and a housekeeper to take care of you.”
Su Peizhen’s expression looked very firm when she said this. “I need to earn more money so that you can have a good life.”
“Oh you,” teased Xiang Caiping. “Mom doesn’t need you to do anything for .” Xiang Caiping felt happy, hearing Su Peizhen’s sweet words.
Su Qingsang’s personality was not terrible but a bit cold. Once she got to know soone, she could make so jokes and get closer to them. However, she never could say nice things to make her happy as Su Peizhen did. Su Peizhen was a sweet talker and it was even more comforting that it was her own daughter.
After spending so days with her, Xiang Caiping accepted her as her daughter and felt closer to her.
After calling a cab, the two went to the place where Xiang Caiping had previously been living.
Before coming over, Xiang Caiping had called her cleaning lady to clean up the place. She had asked her to co over to clean the house from ti to ti even before she had left for Lin City.
Now that the place was ready, they could just move in right away.
Xiang Caiping liked a place with a yard, so she bought this small house with the remaining money after she had paid off the bank loan.
The house was two and a half floors, so not a big place. There was a small courtyard on one side and a parking lot in the back.
At the ti she bought it, she had thought that the place would be big enough for herself. Even with a helper, there were still rooms left. When she was free, she did so gardening out front.
“Look, since I haven’t taken care of it for a while, this garden has fallen.”
When Xiang Caiping entered the front door, she found her plants lifeless. It had snowed before, and even though the snow had lted, so plants couldn’t take the chillness.
She was so focused on her garden that she did not notice Su Peizhen’s expression.
Su Peizhen had previously heard from Xiang Caiping that she was doing so business at Rong City and had so money saved up. She thought it would be a big industry.
Now that she saw this two-and-a-half-story house, she felt quite disappointed.
What kind of house was this? Even the building for the helpers behind the Su Mansion was bigger than this.
“Peizhen, Co in.” Xiang Caiping opened the door and asked Su Peizhen to enter. Su Peizhen put away the disappointnt on her face right away and stepped forward with a smile.
“Mom, your place is so elegant.”
“It’s not. Look, the flowers and plants are dead. I’ll plant so more. I’m sure it will look good when spring arrives.”
“I believe you.”
“I was too lazy to go upstairs, so I made the room on the first floor. There are three rooms upstairs, you can take the largest master bedroom.”
“Alright! I will listen to you, mom.” While Su Peizhen was talking, she took her luggage upstairs.
Looking at this place, which reeked of low status, Su Peizhen bit her lips firmly.
She entered the door and took a look at the room in front of her. The room was indeed bigger than she had expected, but it was nothing compared to her room in the Su Mansion.
Xiang Caiping was arranging her luggage downstairs. Su Peizhen threw the suitcase on the ground and lay on the bed with a blank face.
The quilt sheets were newly changed and slt of sunshine. Yet, for Su Peizhen, such a small room made her feel uncomfortable and unhappy.
She stared at the ceiling above her head, and her mood suddenly changed for the worse.
There was no princess-like dreamy white dress. There were no gorgeous and noble crystal lights. She resisted the urge to scratch her head and forced herself to calm down.
‘You are no longer Su Family’s eldest daughter, Su Peizhen.’
She kept reminding herself but it only deepened the hatred she felt. A few minutes later, after Su Peizhen had cald down, Xiang Caiping ca upstairs.
“Peizhen, what do you think? Do you like this room?”
She was in a hurry to co back, so she had only had a little ti to do so cleanup. Xiang Caiping looked at this room and realized that it was too plain.
“I like it,” said Su Peizhen as she got up, and quickly stood beside Xiang Caiping. “I really like it”
“Is it true?” Xiang Caiping felt a little bit upset. “Is it not too small for you? Is the room not too empty?”
“Mom...” Su Peizhen hooked her arm. “Who am I now? I’m not a wealthy lady anymore. I’m satisfied with staying in a room like this.”
Xiang Caiping was quite delighted at seeing her being so understanding. “It’s great that you like it. Don’t think about work right now. Settle down first and spend so ti visiting. There are so nice places in Rong City. As for what to do next, we will talk about it later.”
“Alright! Sounds perfect.”
Su Peizhen behaved like a filial daughter. Xiang Caiping was very satisfied but felt sorry at the sa ti.
She decided to delegate to Su Peizhen the right of managent of the two chain supermarkets she owned. She believed that once she had sothing to do, she would stop thinking about her past in Lin City.
...
Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had a discussion with Old Master Huo. He finally agreed to let them live in an apartnt in the city.
However, Old Master Huo asked them to co back to the Huo Mansion every weekend for dinner. Su Qingsang could not refuse such a demand.
The day after their discussion with Old Master Huo, Su Qingsang finally started working.
Monday morning was the busiest ti at the hospital. As soon as Su Qingsang arrived, there was a group of female patients sent to her for a check-up.
She didn’t even have the ti to say hello to her other colleagues in the departnt. She was asked to start working right away.
In the morning, Su Qingsang was so busy that she didn’t even have ti to sip water.
It was only in the afternoon that Sun Huiya was free to introduce Su Qingsang to the other colleagues in the departnt.
One of her students, a forr male physician Zheng Chenyu and Su Qingsang had already t before. Su Qingsang hadn’t realized it until now, that even though Zheng Chenyu was a man, he was quite good at this job. He was one of Sun Huiya’s favorite students.
There was a deputy director called Shen Lingyun in the departnt, who was a bit younger than Sun Huiya. There was another deputy director doctor nad Yang Lu, who seed to be in her thirties.
Aside from the two deputy directors, there were three physicians: Ling Fei, Li Ting, and Zhang Qi. Along with these three, so other colleagues had gone to the countryside, so they were not here today.
The head nurse of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Departnt was Li ilin. Several nurses also ca to greet Su Qingsang.
As Su Qingsang tried to rember the people she had gotten acquainted with first, soone knocked on the office door.
As everyone’s attention shifted, Su Qingsang looked at the visitor with wide eyes.
Huo Jinyao? Why is he here?
“Sir, this is the Obstetrics and Gynecology Departnt. If you are here to visit a patient, you need to go to the inpatient departnt–”
Li ilin’s words were interrupted by Huo Jinyao. He looked at Su Qingsang with a light smile in his eyes. “I’m here for her.”
