Chapter 397 - You Want A Divorce? I Agree (1/2)

After listening to this for a long time, Su Yuxin finally made some sense out of it. Of course, he was aware that his father once had a woman he held dear to his heart, but he never expected that she would return.

Old Master Li was pretty exhausted when he reached this point. Unwilling to stay there any longer, he stood up.

“Chenghui, our time on this earth is extremely limited. I really hope that you know what you want and what is most important to you.”

Su Chenghui remained silent. Of course, he knew that the most important thing in his life was revenge. Besides exacting revenge, nothing else mattered.

Yes, that’s right. He didn’t regret it. Not at all.

Li Qianxue glanced at the direction her daughter had walked out to and then watched as Old Master Li shuffled back to his room. Finally, she shifted her gaze towards Su Chenghui, her expression icy.

She didn’t care if her father was still around, and her voice was full of fatigue. “Su Chenghui, if you feel that your grievances aren’t gone yet and you still want to vent them — bring it on. Peizhen and Yuxin are your children too. If you feel that you still want to be with that woman now, you can file for a divorce. Not only would I agree to it, but I’ll also guarantee that whatever you’ve hustled for with your own ability will remain yours. However, I don’t want whatever happened today to repeat itself again. You know me. I am very protective. I can tolerate almost anything else. But I will not watch you bully my children.”

When she finished her sentence, Li Qianxue didn’t spare another look for Su Chenghui. She got up and went upstairs to comfort Su Peizhen.

“Dad?”

Su Chenghui did not speak. He just sat there motionlessly. After all these years, he realized that this was the first time Li Qianxue had ever mentioned a divorce.

In the past, no matter what he said or did, Li Qianxue would never utter this word.

So, all it took for her to be willing to file for divorce was to have Xiang Caiping return? Then what would those twenty-odd years of uphill effort amount to?

“Dad?” Su Yuxin called out one more time.

Su Chenghui raised his head as if he just realized Su Yuxin was there. “You’re back?”

“Well.” Not mentioning that he was back earlier, Su Yuxin gave it some thought and decided that he wanted to probe a little further. “Dad, what happened to my sister? What did she do? Aren’t you the one who always defends her?”

Su Chenghui did not speak but looked at Su Yuxin instead, and noticed that in a mere few weeks, his son seemed to have grown taller.

This was his son. The son he had with Li Qianxue.

This child, like Su Qingsang, did not receive all his love and care as Su Peizhen did. However, that did not affect his brilliance at all.

He was number one in every subject. First in his class, first in his year. He had a pleasant personality. Totally unlike Su Peizhen, he seemed more like Su Qingsang—

Is this really the power of blood?

“Dad?” He found that Su Chenghui was distracted again. Su Yuxin was unable to get much out of him. When he thought of how his grandfather had mentioned paying Huo Jinyao a visit, he decided he would most probably tag along as well.

…

Su Qingsang couldn’t have known that the Su family had been bickering amongst themselves. After sleeping for the entire day, Xiang Caiping seemed perkier at night.

Though she was still unable to get up, at least her face wasn’t that pale anymore.

Su Qingsang only realized Huo Jinyao was very talented in selecting caretakers after the new nurse, Ning Xiaomei, was selected for the job. She wasn’t just strong — she was a great person to talk to.

She was very knowledgeable about anything in Lin City. She even knew about the old places that had only been developed recently.

After a brief conversation, Xiang Caiping was already very satisfied with her.

When Huo Jinyao came to the ward after he was done with work, Su Qingsang gave him a genuinely appreciative smile.

“Jinyao, you’re here.”

Xiang Caiping looked at Huo Jinyao with eyes reflecting contentment, but her heart ached for him. “You’re busy with work. You don’t have to come to visit me at night. I have Qingsang and Xiao Ning here.”
