Chapter 444 - Please Don’t Put Me In A Bind (1/2)

Su Chenghui looked over the divorce papers without really reading them.

He slightly raised his head and looked at Mr. Chen. “Did she send you?” he asked.

Mr. Chen was the legal counselor of the Li Group and had a good relationship with both Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui. He felt uncomfortable when his eyes met Su Chenghui’s and he had to say, “Yes.”

“She just got you to deliver these?” Su Chenghui didn’t look at the divorce papers but stared at Mr. Chen. He insisted on an answer.

“Ms. Li said she wished the signed papers as soon as possible. She wanted to finalize the divorce.”

What he said was undoubtedly a blow to Su Chenghui. He closed his eyes, unwilling to face the fact, even though he had expected it long ago.

“I will not sign it.”

“Mr. Su, you…”

“I won’t sign it. If she wants me to sign it, let her come and talk to me.”

Mr. Chen felt awkward and said, “Mr. Su, please don’t put me in a bind.”

“I am not making it difficult for you on purpose. I am only telling you that if she wants me to sign the papers, I won’t do it unless she comes to me herself.”

Su Chenghui didn’t know why he was insisting on this, but he was adamant. He simply couldn’t let it go like this.

Mr. Chen looked at Su Chenghui, confused about how things got to this place.

As a matter of fact, he had more inside information than other people.

It was true that Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue did not get along as harmoniously as they had tried to show to the public. However, no matter how rotten their relationship was, they had been together for over twenty years.

The marriage helped their businesses, as well as their families. They cooperated really well. After all, how many couples from the houses of the rich and powerful were genuinely affectionate?

He didn’t expect that all of a sudden, after the Lunar New Year’s, things would collapse between them.

Mr. Chen sighed. He understood there wouldn’t be any compromise since Li Qianxue sounded so determined yesterday.

“Mr. Su, I’ll leave the documents here. I suggest you take a look first and decide if you want to sign or not.”

Su Chenghui didn’t say anything. Mr. Chen turned and left after he delivered the documents.

Again, Su Chenghui was alone in his office. He sat there for hours, not moving at all.

…

Su Qingsang looked torn when she parked the car outside her apartment.

When she left, Li Qianxue was certainly reluctant. She even wanted to come along, but Su Qingsang refused to let her.

If Li Qianxue came, things would only be more complicated. Su Qingsang assured her that she would tell Xiang Caiping everything and, after the talk, she would go back home. Hearing her promise, Li Qianxue finally agreed to let her go.

Now, sitting in the car, Su Qingsang felt that she was a little bit afraid to face Xiang Caiping.

Su Qingsang had known the truth a long time ago but didn’t tell Xiang Caiping. Would Xiang Caiping blame her for that?

Su Qingsang had no idea. Still, after sitting in a daze for a few minutes, she finally opened the car door.

She got off the car, and at the same time, another vehicle parked behind her. She froze for an instant when she saw the familiar license plate.

When Su Chenghui got out, Su Qingsang opened her eyes wide.

“Dad?”

Why did he come?

Su Qingsang was so surprised that she even forgot to close her car door. She stared at Su Chenghui approaching her step by step.

When Su Chenghui came closer, she found he looked gaunt. Stubble covered his chin and his eyes were bloodshot.

“Dad.”

Su Chenghui stood there, looking at Su Qingsang. The person in front of him was her daughter.

He closed his eyes, and his voice was weak. “Why are you here?”

“I…” Su Qingsang thought it over and decided to be honest: “I am here to tell the truth about my identity.”

Hearing Su Qingsang’s words, Su Chenghui took a look at her. “You have come to tell the truth?”

Su Qingsang was annoyed. Wasn’t it obvious what she had to do?

“Dad, why are you here?”

“I am here to explain it to her,” Su Chenghui sounded exhausted.

He had sat in his office for hours and realized he had done many things wrong.

He used to justify himself and assure himself that he did it for a reason, but now he couldn’t make any more excuses for himself.

Wrong was wrong. Since he did wrong, he should try to fix the mistakes.

The first thing he wanted to do was get everything back to the right track.

Su Qingsang looked at Su Chenghui with disbelief. Was he serious?

“You can go back now. I’ll go upstairs and talk to her.”

Su Qingsang stood there, thought it over, and shook her head “No. I’ll go with you.”

After all, she spent a few months with Xiang Caiping. She owed her a face-to-face explanation.

It didn’t occur to Xiang Caiping that she would see Su Qingsang and Su Chenghui at the same time.

Actually, when Su Qingsang didn’t return last night, and this morning Huo Jinyao took her back to the apartment, she started to feel something was wrong.
