Chapter 459 - Someone Is Trying to Kill Me Now (1/2)

Xiang Caiping was a good person.

Su Qingsang wished that Su Peizhen could set aside her prejudices and get along with Xiang Caiping.

They could forge a good relationship. They were mother and daughter. If they treated each other with sincerity, they wouldn’t always be enemies.

Su Qingsang hoped that Su Peizhen could think it through and accept Xiang Caiping as soon as possible. Otherwise, Xiang Caiping’s life would be miserable.

…

Looking at the apartment building, Su Peizhen narrowed her eyes. She knew that place. That was Su Qingsang’s old apartment. She had been there once.

Now, the person who lived there was an old woman named Xiang Caiping, who was also her real mother.

She snorted and rubbed her nose. Scorn flashed in her eyes.

How could Xiang Caiping ever compare to Li Qianxue?

Xiang Caiping’s weathered, wrinkly face made her look exactly her age—over 50. What about Li Qianxue? Li Qianxue maintained her skin properly, so she looked to be only in her thirties, not to mention her excellent manner and her way of doing things.

She tried to stay elegant even when she was angry or infuriated. Unlike her, that rude Xiang Caiping had hit her.

That old woman could never compare to Li Qianxue. But now, that old woman had become her mother.

Su Peizhen clenched her teeth. Thinking about that slap she had suffered, her eyes were fierce. She blinked to adjust her expression.

The most dangerous place could also be the safest place.

She knew that Su Chenghui was looking for her. He wanted her to meet with Xiang Caiping and call her mother.

It would surprise him that she had decided to come to see Xiang Caiping by herself.

Xiang Caiping was still staying in that apartment. It wasn’t because she had nowhere to go—it was because she was too frustrated to think of another place to go at the moment.

She had been upset all these days. She ate when Xiao Ning and Xiao You told her to, and she said no when they asked her to go downstairs or get up to do her rehabilitation.

It had been a mere couple of days, but she was enervated already.

She couldn’t understand why Su Chenghui, who had used to be a sunny boy, had become someone like that.

Revenge? Was he out of his mind?

She felt so sad for her daughter.

In her eyes, Su Qingsang was perfect. She was so much better than Su Peizhen.

However, she forced herself to stop every time she thought that way. Su Peizhen was her real daughter, after all.

She hated Su Chenghui. If it hadn’t been for him, would her daughter have ever become like that?

Her unhappiness took away her passion for life. She stayed indoors every single day without even moving.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning had been hired by Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao. They took care of Xiang Caiping as much as they could. However, as Xiang Caiping had been strangely gloomy and Su Qingsang wasn’t showing up, they figured that something wasn’t right.

The two of them grew even more cautious than before and tried even harder to look after Xiang Caiping.

Xiang Caiping sank into unhappiness. She had been recovering well, but she refused to do rehabilitation or leave home.

She had been able to walk slightly before, but now, she spent her days in the wheelchair. She wouldn’t get up unless she had to.

That was not a good thing for her body. Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning were quite anxious about it. They mentioned calling Su Qingsang and asking her to come to visit Xiang Caiping.

However, Xiang Caiping exploded when she heard that. The two didn’t know what exactly was going on between mother and daughter, but they didn’t dare mention it again. They weren’t family members, after all.

After living this way for a few days, Xiang Caiping looked paler than before.

Yesterday had been the First Full Moon Festival. There was no festival atmosphere at all. Xiao Ning had her own family, so she hastily made a trip home.

She had come back early in the morning, as she was worried about Xiang Caiping.

During lunch, someone knocked at the door. Xiao Yu hurriedly stood up to answer the door, wondering who would visit at this time.

She didn’t know the girl standing behind the door. She hadn’t met Su Peizhen.

“May I help you?”

The girl was young but sallow. Her hair and clothes looked a little messy. Xiao Yu couldn’t tell if she was a guest or if she had knocked on the door for some other reason.

Before coming into the building, Su Peizhen had spent a short while in the cold wind, and then she had made her hair messy.

After looking at herself in a mirror and confirming that she did not look healthy, she went upstairs.

The cold wind had paled her face. She felt cold, and she blamed everything that she had suffered on Su Qingsang.

With hatred in her heart, she put on a pitiful smile and said, “Hi, I’m here for Xiang Caiping.”

“You’re looking for Aunt Xiang?” Xiao Yu took a step backward and said, “She went back to her room after lunch. Who are you?”

“It’s okay. I’ll go and look for her myself.”

While speaking, Su Peizhen walked straight past Xiao Yu and into the apartment.

“Miss…”
