Chapter 456 - Are You Satisfied Right Now (1/2)

Li Qianxue met Su Chenghui’s look and stepped forward in front of him.

“Peizhen is headstrong. You’d better go and console her.”

It was done—the only thing left was for everyone to accept it. There was no way around the situation, even if people didn’t accept it.

Su Chenghui remained silent and turned around. He heard Li Qianxue’s voice come from behind him.

“Su Chenghui, is this what you wanted? Is this what you wanted to see? Are you satisfied now?”

Su Chenghui had gotten his revenge. Now, was he happy? Was he satisfied?

Su Chenghui’s body trembled as if he was suddenly drained of all his energy.

He didn’t turn around and his back remained stiff. Li Qianxue wasn’t going to let him off easy. “Su Chenghui, how I wish I could kill you.”

Despite her words, she made sure to smile as she spoke. Bystanders seeing that scene wouldn’t know the truth and would think they were talking about their kids.

Only the two of them knew that what they were talking about had nothing to do with the kids.

Her voice was icy, and the loathing in her tone dug deep into Su Chenghui’s heart.

He ignored his urge to turn and face her, instead, rushing off to find Su Peizhen without another word. The back of his head bobbing away made him look like a fleeing coward.

Li Qianxue collected herself. She turned and smiled again.

Not only was today the festival, but it was also a special day that should belong to Su Qingsang. Li Qianxue didn’t want others to affect her mood, especially not Su Chenghui.

Su Qingsang kept silent. Watching Su Peizhen run away like that, she was feeling a full range of emotions.

In just that moment, she felt sympathetic towards Su Peizhen.

Li Zhirong and Li Yishan, who were standing by her, looked like they were about to say something. Quickly, Su Qingsang smiled politely at them and found an excuse to go up to Li Qianxue.

“Mom.” Li Qianxue had been tough earlier, and Su Qingsang thought that she might still feel bad about it now. “Are you alright?”

“Of course. I am fine. I am good.”

Li Qianxue looked composed. In actuality, she didn’t dislike Su Peizhen, but it made her extremely uncomfortable that Peizhen was the daughter of Su Chenghui and Xiang Caiping.

Su Chenghui had switched her identity at birth so that she could live in a wealthy family.

The very thought of it made Li Qianxue feel like her heart was on fire, and that flame burned her rationality to ashes.

If Su Peizhen was hurt by the way she’d been dealt with today, Li Qianxue was not the one to blame. She should blame Su Chenghui.

Taking a deep breath, Li Qianxue touched Su Qingsang’s arm. “I am good. But you—you should always remember who you are. If someone wrongs you, you don’t need to tolerate it. Just take them down a peg. Whatever happens, I’m always on your side.”

“Mom.”

Now Su Qingsang knew where Su Peizhen’s imperious personality came from.

“Who would come and provoke me? You’re overthinking this.”

“I just want you to know that.” Yes, ordinary people would not be provoking Su Qingsang, but there were plenty of senseless people out there.

Li Qianxue had mixed feelings thinking of the look in Su Peizhen’s eyes when she stormed out the door.

She patted Su Qingsang’s hand. “Actually, I shouldn’t be telling you this, but I know you saw what happened today. I am afraid Peizhen may not understand. If she makes things difficult for you, you don’t have to worry. Handle it however seems suitable to you.”

“Mom, I know.” Su Qingsang smiled and tried to comfort her. “You don’t need to worry too much. I believe Peizhen just couldn’t make peace with it at that moment. She will understand, one day.”

“I hope so.” Li Qianxue had raised Su Peizhen for over twenty years, so she didn’t want to think ill of her. She hoped Su Peizhen’s resistance to the change would only be temporary.

However, Li Qianxue was still afraid that Su Peizhen would act rashly and become reckless if she couldn’t get over it.

Li Qianxue thought to warn her daughter to watch out for Su Peizhen, but she bit back the words, remembering that Su Qingsang was soon leaving for Rong City.

It was unlikely the two of them would come across each other in the future. Forget it—Qingsang probably wouldn’t need the warning anyways.

Li Qianxue believed that she would be able to face Su Peizhen after Su Qingsang was gone. She would have time to fully recover from finding out that her husband had switched her child with another one.

It had been a long day, but Su Qingsang’s identity was eventually revealed to all the friends and relatives by the end of the night.

Li Qianxue chose to explain things as she was seeing off the guests, in an effort to spare Su Peizhen’s feelings.

Su Peizhen would remain a daughter of the Su family, so the fight that evening would just be considered a rough patch in the broad scheme of things.

Most people in their business circle were quite smart. They understood Li Qianxue’s intentions to consider Su Peizhen a daughter of the Su family; thus, they would continue to treat her with dignity and respect.

After Li Qianxue saw off the last guest, she went back to the living room and found Old Master Li seated on the couch, waiting for her.

“Where is Qingsang?”

“I let her go upstairs and have some rest.” Old Master Li gestured for her to sit next to him, and he said slowly, “What are you going to do about Peizhen?”

Earlier, Li Qianxue was not the only one to see Su Peizhen’s angry eyes—Old Master Li had seen them, too.

Old Master Li thought much more deeply than Li Qianxue. Su Peizhen had taken the position that belonged to Su Qingsang.
