Chapter 473 - She Knows My Secret (1/2)

Li Qianxue glanced at her daughter. Her expression was rather mysterious. Aside from her, Old Master Li’s face also started showing quite a bit of displeasure as he recalled what had happened.

“What happened there?”

“Your mother-in-law knows.”

When Li Qianxue said this, her mood suddenly changed for the worse.

She did not expect Su Chenghui to be so shameless.

She had not forced Su Chenghui to sign the divorce papers all this while, merely for the sake of their two children. She didn’t want anyone to know that Su Qingsang and Su Yuxin had such a despicable father.

But Su Chenghui just didn’t know how to give up. While she had been in Rong City, she would still receive calls from Su Chenghui from time to time.

All this was only an act to show that he didn’t want to sign the papers. He clearly did not want a divorce.

Li Qianxue felt troubled thinking about Su Chenghui, this man, whom she had loved so much at the beginning, but hated very much now.

However, things had developed so much that over time, that she did not just feel hatred towards him. She felt complete disgust also.

In order not to proceed with the divorce, Su Chenghui told all kinds of lies such as how he cared most about Li Qianxue now. He even recalled all the things that he did which he regretted now, admitting to her that he had been wrong.

Ha. Did he take her for a fool?

If she had not mentioned that she wanted Su Chenghui out of her life, would he have played out this performance, and said all these things?

He did not know where to draw the line, in terms of money and property. Li Qianxue had not been answering his calls recently.

Before she knew it, Su Chenghui had decided to change his message. He even told Li Qianxue that Su Peizhen had come to Rong City.

Su Chnghui had not known about Su Peizhen’s intention to go to Rong City at first. After all, she was the daughter whom he had doted on for so many years now.

After his conversation with Su Peizhen had ended that day, he just couldn’t rest easy. He knew in his heart that Su Peizhen was grieving.

He had thought to explain things clearly to Su Peizhen once and for all but did not expect to see Su Peizhen and Xiang Caiping together.

“Peizhen? Caiping?”

Su Chenghui watched mother and daughter, finally reunited with one other. He did not know why, but he suddenly felt ill about the whole thing.

“You… you have acknowledged each other.”

“Why? Are you surprised that we have reconciled with each other?” Xiang Caiping was disgusted to see Su Chenghui now. If it were not for him, how could she have mistaken her daughter for someone else?

How could her own daughter be driven out?

“No.” Su Chenghui looked at Su Peizhen and knew in his heart what his daughter was really like. Based on what he knew, his daughter would never have grown to like Xiang Caiping’s personality.

He even thought that Su Peizhen would actually hate Xiang Caiping. Hate her for abandoning her, and hate her for giving her the status of an illegitimate daughter.

But Su Chenghui had not expected that Su Peizhen would really go ahead with this. Now that she was even living with Xiang Caiping, it was really too much of a stretch for him to think about.

“Caiping, you, you and Peizhen–”

Su Peizhen’s words couldn’t be trusted. Su Chenghui would rather let Xiang Caiping speak and see what she would have to say instead.

He only understood a little about what Xiang Caiping was like. She had had a disagreement with Su Peizhen. Was it because she had an argument with Su Qingsang before, that she could not really accept Su Peizhen without any bearing or any grudge?

Su Chenghui thought he understood Xiang Caiping. But his understanding was also based on what he knew from the past.

More importantly, he had not understood the heart of a mother and made assumptions based on what he had heard and believed. If one puts family over reason, one would inevitably be biased in his judgment.

“Peizhen is my daughter.” Xiang Caiping didn’t mind letting Su Chenghui know. “You should also know that I hardly ever got along with her nor did I get to know her well in the years before. Now, all these errors have been corrected. What’s weird about acknowledging her now? ”

Su Chenghui didn’t know what to say. He had a tiny suspicion that something seemed wrong. There seemed to be something out of the ordinary.

But now he couldn’t figure out what was wrong. His gaze turned to Su Peizhen. “Peizhen?”

“Dad,” said Su Peizhen. When she saw Su Chenghui, her forehead throbbed with pain. She didn’t look well, but that feeling lasted only a few seconds.

Soon, she packed up her emotions and expressions. She pulled on Xiang Caiping’s arm and faced Su Chenghui.

“You seem to think this is weird. There is nothing strange about this. After all, I’m my mother’s daughter. Isn’t it expected that I would want to reconcile with her?

“Peizhen.” Su Chenghui looked at his daughter, and the feeling of suspicion that something was off not only did not go away but increased instead.

He didn’t want to speculate about his daughter with ill intentions, but Su Peizhen’s actions made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.

“Dad. Now that my mother and I are together, are you upset?”
