Chapter 452 - How Did She Take Everything From Me? (1/2)

Su Peizhen stood outside the crowd, watching Su Qingsang claim her place, while Old Master Li and Li Qianxue protected her and made her the lady of the Su Family.

At one moment, she thought she got it wrong, or that it was all some kind of joke.

How could Su Qingsang be the lady of the Su Family? How could she be the daughter of Li Qianxue? She, Su Peizhen, was Li Qianxue’s daughter, undoubtedly.

Su Peizhen closed her eyes, trying to control her expression. She didn’t want to look hideous at this time.

However, it was difficult.

Nobody in the living room talked to her when Su Qingsang’s true identity was disclosed. Everyone knew in their hearts who Su Peizhen turned out to be.

Even though they were not told explicitly where Su Peizhen came from or whose daughter she was, how could they not figure it out based on the current situation?

Everyone remained silent, watching the former lady of the Su Family, who used to be so graceful and self-confident, walk through the crowd.

Li Qianxue had raised Su Peizhen for over twenty years, so she understood her feelings. Seeing Su Peizhen walking directly towards her, she felt guilty for no reason.

However, the guilty feeling was fleeting. Li Qianxue believed that her maternal love for Su Peizhen was sincere during all these years.

She had not done anything that wronged Su Peizhen. Even now, she and Old Master Li still planned to treat her as the adopted daughter of the Su Family.

Thinking about that, Li Qianxue calmed down.

“Peizhen, you are back! You must be tired after the trip. Why don’t you go upstairs and take a rest?”

Li Qianxue looked at Su Peizhen, her eyes concealing subtle meaning.

Li Qianxue expected Su Peizhen to be sensible. She wished Su Peizhen to understand her hints and realize her current position.

She loved Su Peizhen for many years, bringing her up as one of the family’s heirs. She believed Su Peizhen was equipped for the task.

“I’m not tired.” Su Peizhen did not fail to receive Li Qianxue’s hint, nor was she unaware of her current embarrassing situation.

However, some things were out of her control. For example, she was displaced for no fault of her own. She had no idea what happened.

“Mom, Grandpa. I just heard something strange, but I didn’t understand it. Mom, could you explain it to me?”

She spoke softly, but her clenched fists showed her tension.

Faced with Su Qingsang’s face, she suddenly raised her hand. “She… how can she be your daughter? Am I not your daughter anymore?”

She was eager to ask more questions. How dared Su Qingsang do that? What did it mean, there was a mix-up?

How come was there a mix-up? She would not believe such a poor excuse.

They had been a family for so many years. Why did this so-called mix-up come out into the open all of a sudden?

Su Qingsang stepped back a little without other people noticing. She was not afraid of Su Peizhen; rather, she tried to avoid attention so as not to make Su Peizhen feel she was flaunting.

Su Yuxin noticed her move, squeezed her hand quietly, and took a step forward.

“Sis, please go back to your room and have a rest. We can talk about it later.”

“Don’t call me ‘sis’.” Gazing at Su Yuxin, Su Peizhen didn’t miss what he just did, which made her sad. “She is your sister now, isn’t she?”

Li Qianxue frowned as she realized that she had spoiled Su Peizhen excessively.

“Peizhen. Yuxin said we could talk about it later.”

“I don’t want to talk about it later. I want to talk about it right now,” Su Peizhen said in an impolite tone and pointed a finger at Su Qingsang, who stood next to Li Qianxue.

“She was merely an illegitimate daughter. I want to know why she was elevated in her position and qualified to stand here.”

Li Qianxue disliked hearing the words “an illegitimate daughter.” If it were not for Su Chenghui’s malice and selfishness, her daughter would not have grown up with a tarnished name.

“That was a mistake. I mentioned earlier that there was a mix-up of the hospital staff when you were born. Qingsang was not an illegitimate daughter.”

“What about me?” Su Peizhen raised her voice. “If she is not an illegitimate daughter, then who I am? Tell me. Who am I?”

Her interrogatory tone made Li Qianxue a little bit uneasy. However, she could not lose her temper in front of all the relatives in the room.

“Peizhen, I’ll say it one more time. If you have any questions, we can talk later. Please go upstairs and take a rest.”

“I said I am not tired. I don’t need rest.” Su Peizhen was very stubborn. “Can’t I ask? Don’t I have the right to know? Am I not your daughter?”

With one question after another, Su Peizhen’s anger was soaring.

Old Master Li’s face was grave. It was inevitable that Su Peizhen would come and question them eventually. However, it did not occur to him that it would be so soon.

“Peizhen,” Old Master Li spoke. No matter what, today was the Lantern Festival, as well as the day Su Qingsang was officially recognized by the family. He wished everything could be smooth.
