Chapter 357 - : She Is Exaggerating (1/2)

The previously joyous atmosphere stagnated a little. Su Chenghui remained silent and the others did not speak either.

Xiang Caiping knitted her brows as she looked at the ingredients in the hotpot. Finally, she picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks and placed it in Su Qingsang’s bowl.

“Come, eat this.”

“Thank you, Mother.” Su Qingsang’s lips twitched. She knew that Xiang Caiping felt a little troubled about the possible reason why Su Chenghui would visit at this time.

“Father, you should eat as well.” Xiang Caiping could ignore Su Chenghui, but Su Qingsang could not.

“I’m not sure if the food suits your tastes. If you don’t eat spicy food, you can eat from the non-spicy side of the hotpot.”

Su Qingsang was well aware of Su Chenghui and his family having the habit of eating lightly-flavored food.

“Sure.”

Su Chenghui did not stand on ceremony. After Sister Lu handed him a bowl, he started on his meal.

Shi Mengwan was a little cautious at first because after all, Su Chenghui evoked some fear in her. However, thinking of her mission today and noticing the persistent look of displeasure on Xiang Caiping’s face, she could only force herself to continue to be the one who influenced the general mood positively.

“Auntie, have this. Qingsang especially likes it too.”

Shi Mengwan picked up a prawn dumpling with her chopsticks and gave it to Xiang Caiping.

“Really?” Xiang Caiping was still trying to build a bond with Su Qingsang these days and was also trying very hard to get to know Su Qingsang’s food preferences. “Would the two of you go for hotpots together often?”

“Yes, we did, especially when the weather was cold.”

Shi Mengwan looked at Su Qingsang as she was speaking. “Auntie, you know, when Su Qingsang was studying for her examinations, it was really tough on her. She was studying till the wee hours of the morning every day. There were times when she even forgot to have dinner, and it was me who got her food.”

“You treat Qingsang really well.”

Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang as she was speaking. “No matter how engrossed you are in your studies, your physical well-being is the most important thing. You should never neglect your health in the future.”
