Chapter 419 - I Was so Blind (1/2)
The atmosphere in the study room was odd at that moment. Su Chenghui didn’t move his feet but watched Li Qianxue walk up step by step.
“Who is that woman?”
She wore a peaceful look on her face. She was neither sad nor glad. She thought Xiang Caiping was Su Chenghui’s beloved one. It had been so many years, but he never forgot about her.
But what if apart from her, there was another woman in Su Chenghui’s life? What did that mean?
Li Qianxue doubted herself more than once. She spent decades loving that man, but sometimes, she felt as if her love was nothing but a joke.
She didn’t want to give up, though. She always told herself that she would get through it and that everything would be fine. She told herself that Su Chenghui would eventually discover how great she was when he finally gave up on Xiang Caiping and stopped thinking of her.
However, Su Chenghui didn’t forget about Xiang Caiping as Li Qianxue expected. What was worse, Li Qianxue now found out that there was another woman in Su Chenghui’s life.
Seeing the fierce look in Li Qianxue’s eyes, Su Chenghui panicked again. He tried his best to stay calm.
“That woman does not exist. You misheard.”
“I am not deaf,” Li Qianxue looked at Su Chenghui and spoke with an obviously sarcastic tone, “Also, you didn’t close the door.”
She tried to make herself sound calm, but the anger could still be detected in her voice. Su Chenghui dropped his head instead of making eye contact with Li Qianxue.
“There is no other woman. You really misheard.”
It was the first time Su Chenghui talked to Li Qianxue with such a low voice. It was filled with helplessness, yet Li Qianxue sensed his guilt from that tone. He was trying to hide the truth.
She made a step forward and stood right before Su Chenghui’s face. The distance between the two of them was no more than ten centimeters.
She looked him in the eye and said, “Su Chenghui, who is Su Qingsang’s mother? It’s not Xiang Caiping. Who it is?”
“No one.”
“No one? Did you give birth to her yourself? Did the girl appear out of thin air?”
Li Qianxue was so disappointed in Su Chenghui. After twenty years of loving him, she felt so tired and powerless. Now, she had nothing but despair and disappointment.
True disappointment.
“As I’ve said, there is no other woman.”
Li Qianxue stared straight at Su Chenghui’s face, then closed her eyes and repeated the question, “Who is Su Qingsang’s mother? Tell me.”
Huo Jinyao didn’t expect things to turn out like that.
Sensing the atmosphere between Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui, he, as their son-in-law, clearly understood that he should leave.
He glanced at Su Chenghui, then at Li Qianxue. Neither of them was talking at the moment, but the atmosphere was very tense.
He quietly walked out of the study room, without saying a word to Su Chenghui.
Downstairs, Su Qingsang was waiting for him to give her an answer. Huo Jinyao looked at her and slightly shook his head.
Su Qingsang understood his meaning. The two of them said goodbye to Old Master Li and then left.
Su Yuxin noticed the look on Huo Jinyao’s face. He felt that something not so good was happening.
In the study room, Li Qianxue was still questioning Su Chenghui. Su Chenghui refused to admit anything or give her any answer.
“As I’ve said, there is no other woman. You misheard.”
Li Qianxue didn’t want to ask any more questions. She raised a hand and slapped her husband in the face.
Su Chenghui’s head jerked aside from that heavy slap. He looked at Li Qianxue, moved his lips, but didn’t say a word.
Li Qianxue burst into laughter. She looked at Su Chenghui and nodded heavily while laughing. “Su Chenghui, I want a divorce.”
That was the second time Li Qianxue mentioned divorce. Su Chenghui paused briefly with surprise, then said without thinking, “I disagree.”
“I don’t care if you agree or not,” Li Qianxue stopped laughing and spoke with a tired voice. “I have decided to get a divorce. Su Chenghui, listen to me carefully, I want a divorce.”
“That’s not going to happen,” Su Chenghui’s voice finally sounded a little normal. He looked at Li Qianxue and said with determination, “Don’t even think about that. I won’t divorce you.”
“Su Chenghui,” Li Qianxue clenched her teeth, looked at him and said, “Don’t be so shameless. Why on earth do you think I can still be with you as if nothing happened after you betrayed me again and again?”
“I didn’t betray you,” Su Chenghui knew that Li Qianxue wouldn’t believe anything he said at that moment, but what he said was true.
“You didn’t betray me? Who gave birth to Su Qingsang then? You didn’t only betray me, but also betrayed Xiang Caiping. Su Chenghui, I thought you loved Xiang Caiping. It has been over twenty years. You pretended to love her so deeply, and you tortured me, ignored me. I thought you were a devoted man, but what kind of a man are you really?”
He turned out to be a dishonest and irresponsible man. She married a man like that and wasted half of her life.
“Su Chenghui, one more time, I want a divorce. I’m telling my father now.”
Li Qianxue turned and prepared to leave. Su Chenghui hurriedly held her arm.
Li Qianxue wasn’t prepared for that but ended up being caught in Su Chenghui’s arms. Su Chenghui noticed the determined look on her face and somehow felt panic.
To hide his feelings, he said to her without thinking, “Li Qianxue, I won’t divorce you. We got married because that was what you wanted, and now you want to divorce me against my will. Why do you think you can make decisions for me? No, that’s not going to happen.”
