Chapter 349 - Why Should We Give in to Them? (1/2)

Su Qingsang didn’t regret confronting them. Su Peizhen was, however, Su Chenghui’s most beloved daughter.

Su Qingsang couldn’t guarantee that Su Chenghui wouldn’t get angry with Xiang Caiping for slapping his daughter. She thought it would be best to avoid stirring anything up.

Su Qingsang was relieved when she discovered that Su Peizhen and the rest of her group had left the hot spring ryokan when she returned at night.

She confirmed with the owner of the ryokan that they had really left. It was better this way. It was best that they didn’t see each other again.

Still, when she thought about the slap, a tinge of uneasiness gushed up in her heart and she did not know why.

After much pondering, she decided not to tell Huo Jinyao about her encounter with Su Peizhen.

When Huo Jinyao called again later that night, she only told him about some interesting things that had happened during their day tour.

Huo Jinyao was obviously very busy. She could hear the sound of the clattering of the keyboard over the phone.

Su Qingsang hung up after repeatedly reminding Huo Jinyao to take care of his health.

She saw Xiang Caiping sitting beside the window. It seemed like her mother was lost in thought. Su Qingsang went up, gently touched her mom’s shoulders, and said, “Mom, let’s go. Didn’t you say that you are tired after all that shopping? Let’s go soak ourselves in the hot spring again.”

“I don’t feel like going.” Her mother had seemed upset for the entire day.

“Just think of it as keeping me company, then. Is that okay, mom?”

Xiang Caiping only went because Su Qingsang put it this way.

Although she looked fine, Su Qingsang knew that Xiang Caiping wouldn’t get over the encounter very quickly.

She didn’t want to talk about it any more. She could only try her best to get Xiang Caiping to enjoy herself more for the rest of the trip and hopefully become happier.

The next day was the third day of the New Year. This marked the end of Su Qingsang’s leave. She caught an early flight to return home to start work.

As soon as she opened the door to pack, she saw Huo Jinyao at her doorstep. He had been about to knock on the door.
