Chapter 458 - Don’t You Find It Ridiculous? (1/2)

Su Chenghui was struggling. He did not know if he should sign the divorce papers or not.

He did not have the heart to put Su Peizhen into that kind of situation. For Su Peizhen, it would be worse than if he had killed her.

He didn’t want to leave Li Qianxue either. He knew her so well. Once he signed the paper, he would have no chance of getting back together with her.

Thinking about the day before, he felt as if his heart were bleeding.

He closed his eyes for a moment, then said to her helplessly, “Qianxue, do things between us truly have to be like this?”

“Su Chenghui, do you hear yourself? Don’t you find what you said ridiculous?”

Li Qianxue was so angry that she almost laughed.

“Don’t you know what you’ve done? Did you really think that after you did something so evil to me, I would stay with you and pretend nothing happened? Did you really think that I’d turn a blind eye to what has happened and continue treating Su Peizhen like my real daughter willingly because I was her mother for over twenty years?”

If the two babies had been mixed up by accident, she might continue to look at Su Peizhen as her daughter and take care of her.

But what was the truth? The mother-daughter relationship between Su Peizhen and herself had been single-handedly planned by Su Chenghui. How could she possibly tolerate that?

Li Qianxue loved Su Peizhen, but that love wasn’t as strong as the pain that she now suffered, knowing that she had been deceived and betrayed by the man she loved the most.

She had loved him so deeply before. Now, she hated him equally.

That hatred reached its peak when she thought about how miserable Su Qingsang’s life had been in the past years. She had nearly been sent to an orphanage. If that had happened, she would never have had a chance to meet her real mother.

“Su Chenghui, I’m telling you, I even want to drink your blood and eat your flesh now. Do you think I have no idea about those dirty thoughts in your head? Listen carefully. I’ve stated things very clearly on the divorce agreement. I’ve given you what you deserve. If you want more, or if you’re brewing some other nasty scheme, I will never let you get what you want.”

“Qianxue, no, it’s not like that.” Su Chenghui couldn’t explain. He knew that in Li Qianxue’s eyes, he was an untrustworthy man.

“I don’t want to sign the papers because I don’t want to get a divorce. Qianxue, believe me, I really love you…”

“And you expect me to believe that? Do you expect me to believe that despite that you’ve been ignoring me for twenty years, on the very day you’re getting a divorce, you’ve suddenly realized that you can’t live without me?”

Even Su Chenghui himself thought that sounded ridiculous. However, it was true.

Li Qianxue would not, of course, believe him. She snorted loudly with scorn.

“Yeah, if I believed you, you’d be able to stay and give Su Peizhen more benefits, right?”

Li Qianxue spoke through clenched teeth. She’d had no idea that Si Chenghui was so shameless. “I’m done talking to you. I want to see your name on the papers by the end of today. If I don’t see it, you just wait and see what happens.”

After ending the call, Li Qianxue was still very angry.

She patted her chest heavily to calm herself down. It was hard, though. If she weren’t such a strong person, she would have burst into tears.

“Li Qianxue, look at yourself. How blind you were. Look what kind of man you’ve fallen for,” she said to herself.

Su Chenghui came from an ordinary family and didn’t love her. But before, she had believed that he was, at least, a proud man, a man with a backbone.

Perhaps he had been proud at first. The twenty years of wealth and an easy life had softened him.

“Su Chenghui, you’ve done this to me now, and I won’t let you get away with it so easily.”

Li Qianxue’s eyes turned red. She could not cool herself down.

She had planned to show Su Chenghui a last bit of respect. However, since he was so shameless, why would she bother doing that?

She took out her phone to make a call. Before she dialed the number, Su Qingsang knocked on the door and came in.

“Mom.”

“You’re home.” Seeing her daughter, Li Qianxue dropped her phone.

Su Qingsang had gone to Huo Jinyao’s house to pick up the gifts that she had prepared before. Li Qianxue had prepared some too. The gifts from her and the ones from her daughter would be different.

Gifts from different people would surely deliver different wishes.

“Are you tired? I told you to bring Yuxin with you, but you didn’t listen.”

“Mom, Yuxin needed to go to school for registration today. Why would I make him come with me? There weren’t a lot of things to take, and you sent Xiaoyu and Uncle Zhang to help me. Why would I get tired?”
