Chapter 460 - That Man Is So Disgusting (1/2)
“It’s… It’s… Li Qianxue.”
Su Peizhen blinked and looked at Xiang Caiping. She had almost said the word “mom.”
“She kicked me out when she found out that I’m not her child. Yesterday, she invited many friends and relatives to tell them that Su Qingsang is her real daughter. I asked her if I’m still her daughter, and she kicked me out. Mom, I have nothing now. I’m an illegitimate daughter. I…”
Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui were being ridiculous. Xiang Caiping was enraged. She held Su Peizhen’s hand. The anger in her heart was now gone, and all she had left was pity for Su Peizhen.
“How could she do something like that? You’ve been her daughter for over twenty years, after all. How could she…”
“We both thought we were a real mother and daughter. Now, her real daughter has come back. Of course there won’t be a place for me in that family again.”
Xiang Caiping understood that. She had done the same for Su Qingsang a couple of days ago because Su Qingsang had become Li Qianxue’s daughter.
However, when she heard that it had happened to Su Peizhen, she started to feel that what Li Qianxue had done was so incredibly wrong.
She hated Li Qianxue for stealing her man. Now, hearing about what she had done to Su Peizhen, she hated her even more.
“Sweet girl, don’t cry. She doesn’t want you, but I do. She kicked you out of that house. So what? You don’t need anything from her.”
“Mom?” Su Peizhen looked at Xiang Caiping, seeming not to understand her meaning.
“I’ve saved some money over the years. I’m not as rich as the Li family or the Huo family, but I can take care of both of us. Don’t worry. Mama will look after you.”
“Mom…” On hearing that, Su Peizhen sounded like she would cry again.
Hearing her daughter’s hoarse voice, Xiang Caiping’s heart softened completely.
She gave a long sigh and said, “Don’t cry. You can live with me. I will take good care of you.”
“All right.” Su Peizhen nodded heavily, held Xiang Caiping’s hands, and said, “Mom, I have now realized that only blood ties are real. Anything else can be fake. From this day on, you are my only mother. You’re the only one I have.”
Xiang Caiping nodded. Then she thought of Su Chenghui. “Did your father say anything when Li Qianxue kicked you out?”
“Mom…” Su Peizhen clenched her teeth and said with a sorrowful look, “Dad doesn’t want to leave the Li family. My grandfather is the one who makes decisions in the family, not him. He surely didn’t have the guts to keep me.”
“Great, great.” Xiang Caiping had always hated Su Chenghui. Now, hearing that, her hatred grew even stronger. “I thought he had a backbone. I thought he was forced to marry Li Qianxue. Now, I finally understand that what he wants is nothing but a wealthy life.”
Su Peizhen dropped her head and said, “Dad didn’t speak for me yesterday. He just kept telling me to come here to see you. I asked him to beg Li Qianxue not to kick me out, but he wouldn’t do that. I was mean to you before. I did something wrong. I was too ashamed to come here to see you, but you are my mother, after all. I want you to know what kind of a man my father is, so I came here today. Mom, you’re not gonna be angry with me, are you?”
“No.” Xiang Caiping only hated Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue at the moment. She even started to dislike the apartment she was living in.
She wasn’t angry at Su Peizhen for not wanting to leave the family and trying to beg Li Qianxue.
She had been Li Qianxue’s daughter for over 20 years. She wasn’t a weak person. Of course she would try to fight for herself.
What she was doing now was great. She had figured out who she was and broken from the Su family.
Xiang Caiping thought for a moment and quickly made a decision.
“Let’s go, Peizhen. Let’s go now.”
“Go? Where to?”
“Away from this place, of course.” Xiang Caiping was a person with pride. How could she stay in Su Qingsang’s apartment after Li Qianxue had treated her daughter like that?
“This apartment belongs to Su Qingsang. We won’t be staying here. We’re leaving now.”
Su Peizhen didn’t say no. “Dad bought me an apartment before. Maybe we can stay there for now.”
Her luggage was still there.
“Why would we stay in your father’s apartment? I’d rather stay in a hotel.”
Xiang Caiping was grateful that she had not given all her money to Su Qingsang yet. Otherwise, she and Su Peizhen would have wound up on the street.
“Mom, staying in a hotel will cost us extra money. My apartment is not small. I stayed there yesterday.”
Xiang Caiping was already angry at Li Qianxue for casting her daughter out of her home. Now, hearing her daughter talking about saving money, her heart ached.
That made her hate Su Chenghui even more. After all, he had spent so many years raising Su Peizhen, and he had used to love her so much.
How could he throw her out of the house just like that?
“He treated you like that? Why did you still stay in his apartment?”
“Mom…” Su Peizhen didn’t want to stay in a hotel. “He gave that apartment to me. It’s mine. Why wouldn’t I take it?”
Xiang Caiping pondered this briefly and found that her words made sense. Finally, she was less angry.
“Let me pack my bag. We’ll leave now.”
While she spoke, Xiang Caiping stood up. Her injury had almost healed. All she needed to do now was take good care of her body.
Su Peizhen hurriedly took a step forward and said, “Let me help you.”
“No need.” Xiang Caiping still had trouble bending over. She didn’t plan to pack too many things. “It’s just a few clothes. You just sit down and take a rest.”
“Mom, just let me help you,” said Su Peizhen worriedly. She tried to be close with Xiang Caiping, almost in a fawning way. “We only have each other now.”
Su Peizhen’s words made Xiang Caiping’s chest ache again. She didn’t say no this time.
She hated the apartment now, so she quickly packed a few clothes and prepared to go.
Thankfully, she hadn’t unpacked the luggage she had prepared for the trip to Rong City. There weren’t too many things left to be packed.
She picked up a few things that she would need and stepped out of the room with Su Peizhen.
Xiao Yu was stunned when she heard Su Peizhen call Xiang Caiping “mom.” She had no idea what was happening.
She told Xiao Ning about it. Neither of them knew what had happened.
As Xiang Caiping and Su Peizhen came out of the room, Xiao Yu walked toward them and saw the three large suitcases beside Su Peizhen.
“Aunt Xiang, you…”
“We’re not staying there. We’re leaving now.”
The two caregivers had been taking good care of her, so she was nice to them.
“You two can come with us.”
“This…”
Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning glanced at each other with confusion. They had been hired by Huo Jinyao to take care of Xiang Caiping. If they decided to leave, they surely needed to inform Huo Jinyao or Su Qingsang about that.
“What? You are here to look after my mom. You should go wherever she goes.” Su Peizhen was rather polite to them.
