Chapter 283 - Working against his own self-interest (1/2)

He said that he married Li Qianxue against his own wishes. He promised that he would never be intimate with Li Qianxue again. He said that he will save himself for me to gain my trust.

Xiang Caiping smiled. Her smile was tinged with bitterness. A sudden realization had dawned upon her. She could finally overcome her years of obsession with him.

Su Chenghui is a cheat. He worked against his own self-interest. He clearly professed his loyalty to me, yet he had a son with someone else. How ludicrous is he?

Su Qingsang sensed something was amiss when she saw Xiang Caiping disappear into the back of the room. Reverting her attention back to her phone screen, a thought occurred to her. Did this picture infuriate her?

That evening, Su Qingsang waited for Huo Jinyao to get home so that she could mention the incident to him.

“Do you think Aunt Xiang has suffered some kind of setback?”

“I have no idea.” Huo Jinyao could not comprehend Xiang Caiping’s reaction either. “Could she be unhappy about the fact that your father had a child with another woman?”

Su Qingsang was stupefied. She tried to grasp the situation and considered the plausibility of Huo Jinyao’s assumption. “I guess so.”

When a man you love had a child with another woman…

“I think there could be other reasons too.” Huo Jinyao fathomed the crux of the issue. “Think about this – Su Peizhen is older than you, so Aunt Xiang would know about your father raising a child with another woman.”

“You’re right, this doesn’t make sense.” Su Qingsang could not wrap her head around the issue and was not willing to ponder it anymore. “My father is really…”

He was not willing to marry Li Qianxue, and he got Xiang Caiping pregnant.

“It’s just a series of unfortunate events.” In truth, Huo Jinyao discreetly held Su Chenghui in disdain. If he was truly determined, he would not have gotten involved with Li Qianxue and would have resolutely rejected her.

If he had chosen to be involved with Li Qianxue, he should not have been simultaneously engaged in an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Caiping.

Su Qingsang remained silent. She knew that what had happened in the past was not merely a series of unfortunate events.
