Chapter 289 - You Expect Me to Put Up With Su Qingsang? (1/2)

“Mother, do you know what you’re saying? You expect me to put up with Su Qingsang?”

“I don’t mean that you have to submit to her whims and fancies. You just shouldn’t agitate her. We’ll have to monitor the situation before deliberating our next move.”

“I just can’t swallow my anger this time.” At the thought of Qiu Yanbo, Su Peizhen was consumed by rage. “What right does she have over me?”

“There, there,” Li Qianxue was still in the dark about her daughter’s irateness and felt a sense of helplessness as she held her daughter’s hand. “Given the likes of Qiu Yanbo, I don’t see what’s redeeming about him. My daughter is such a fine young lady, there shouldn’t be a problem looking for someone of a better caliber than him. Qiu Yanbo failed to see what he has, so you’ll have to let go and move on. No matter what, you’ll have to look for someone like Huo Jinyao, right?”

Huo Jinyao, it’s about Huo Jinyao again. Either way, the fault lies with Su Qingsang.

Su Peizhen could never fault herself. She was adamant that Su Qingsang was the one at fault. This was all because of her. She was the root of the problem.

“Mother, I really can’t take it lying down. I…” Su Peizhen was filled with bitterness. Her resentment of the situation caused her to hold onto Li Qianxue like a willful child.

“Alright, alright,” Li Qianxue patted her daughter’s back. “I’ll be sure to find a better man for you. Be good now.”

Su Peizhen held her tongue. If Li Qianxue was unwilling to deal with Su Qingsang because she wanted to tread carefully around Huo Jinyao, then Su Peizhen was prepared to deal with Su Qingsang herself. I can always let her have a taste of her own medicine without physically hurting her, can’t I?

At that moment, a thought crossed Su Peizhen and she jolted upright.

“Oh, right. Mother, Su Qingsang was accompanied by an elderly woman today.”

“An elderly woman? What elderly woman?”

“I don’t know,” Su Peizhen was perplexed. “The woman looked to be in her fifties. Su Qingsang addressed her as ‘aunt’. How would she have an aunt? Do you think that woman is Huo Jinyao’s relative?”

“Does Huo Jinyao have a visiting relative?”
