Chapter 249 - That Did Not Constitute as Lying, Did It? (1/2)

Su Qingsang was not responding to her, so Su Peizhen took a step forward and stood firm.

“What? You can’t answer? Did you think that I wouldn’t find out if you kept quiet about it?”

Su Qingsang was starting to have a headache. She had been in Rong City for a week and had completely forgotten about this. “I really don’t know.”

“How can you not know?” Su Peizhen was not convinced at all. “Su Qingsang, if you are thinking of keeping mum about it to make a joke out of me, then you will never get your wish.”

“Sis, you are overthinking this.” Su Qingsang rarely addressed Su Peizhen as her sister and whenever she did, it meant that she was really exasperated. “I have no reason to lie to you. I really have no idea.”

“Do you really have no idea, or do you lack the courage to say it?”

Su Peizhen took another step forward and faced Su Qingsang squarely. She was trying her best to keep her expression in check, but it still revealed a certain sense of fury.

“Do you think that I don’t know?” Do you think that I can’t figure it out? Su Qingsang, that woman is you…”

The sudden severity in Su Peizhen’s tone shocked Su Qingsang and she was momentarily dazed. She, however, quickly composed herself.

“Sis, I really have no idea. If the person who Qiu Yanbo likes is me, then why did he wait until he was going to be engaged to you before telling you about it? This isn’t reasonable at all.”

She expressed herself very solemnly. Her solemnity even caused her to be convinced that she was telling the truth.

Su Peizhen’s eyes bore into Su Qingsang and knew that her words did make sense. Su Peizhen nodded slowly and deliberately.

“Alright, Su Qingsang. Since you claim that the matter has nothing to do with you, I will trust you this once. This is the only time I will trust you. If I find out that the woman that Qiu Yanbo is smitten with is you, or that you have something to hide, then don’t blame me for taking harsh actions.”

She was not a bad person and did not wish to deal with an illegitimate daughter like Su Qingsang. If Su Qingsang crossed her, however, she would not be gracious about it.
