Chapter 477 - Don’t Treat Me Like A Child (1/2)

The last thing Li Qianxue wanted to hear was Su Chenghui’s name. However, she had no choice but to return to Lin City this time to deal with the unresolved issues between Su Chenghui and herself.

“Alright, this matter is between adults. Don’t worry about it.”

Li Qianxue’s words made Su Qingsang laugh. “Mom, I’m married now, so don’t treat me like a child.”

“I do want to treat you as a child.”

If Su Qingsang was still a child, then she would be able to start over again build the mother-daughter relationship they never had. Despite the current circumstances, and no matter how much she cared about her daughter, there was still a gap of twenty years.

If Su Qingsang was still a child, she would have stopped and prevented her from studying medicine. She should have studied business. That way, she could keep her on her side to help with the company.

Nevertheless, some things were in the past, and there was nothing she could do besides regret. However, she couldn’t let the person who caused it all to be off the hook.

Su Qingsang could not convince Li Qianxue, but only watch her enter the boarding gate and then leave.

“Let’s go.”

When both of them could no longer be seen, Huo Jinyao hugged Su Qingsang’s shoulder.

“Huo Jinyao,” called Su Qingsang. She suddenly turned to look at Huo Jinyao and asked, “why am I developing an anxious feeling?”

“You think too much.”

The hatred Li Qianxue had for Su Chenghui was strong enough for her to get a divorce and leave him penniless.

Li Qianxue wouldn’t go and murder Su Chenghui, though. She would have already done it if she had wanted to. If she did not act on her anger in the past, she could not be driven by the same impulse anymore now, right?

“Let’s go, Maybe I’m overthinking it.”

She hadn’t felt sorry for Xiang Caiping before this. However, now that she knew what Su Chenghui had done, she pitied her.

“Jinyao, what do you think Aunt Xiang is doing now–”

“If you want to know, I’ll find someone to investigate it.” Huo Jinyao also knew that Xiang Caiping was a good person. He had nothing but respect for her after spending a few months together with her.

“No, it’s alright,” said Su Qingsang as she thought of the news she had gotten previously. “Anyway, Su Peizhen has already recognized her, so I am assuming that they would be having a good time together.”

Xiang Caiping was a very good person. Su Peizhen would come to realize Xiang Caiping’s goodness sooner or later.

Once she realized it, with some time, she would eventually accept Xiang Caiping. Then, Xiang Caiping would finally get what she deserved.

Huo Jinyao couldn’t agree with this, because Su Peizhen was a girl who was used to being treated like a precious lady. Now, she suddenly recognized a woman with no power nor a decent background. He was on the fence in this matter, knowing Su Peizhen’s personality.

However, he decided not to convey his predicament to Su Qingsang. She might overthink, so he said, “let’s go home.”

“Yeah. Let’s go.” Su Qingsang needed to get ready to start work tomorrow.

…

Soon after Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao had left the airport, another plane landed on the runway.

Xiang Caiping hadn’t expected herself to come back here after everything. She only left for a few months, but what had happened made her feel like years had passed.

“Mom… Be careful.” Su Peizhen held Xiang Caiping’s arm with a sweet smile on her face. “You haven’t fully recovered from your lower back injury. You should be more careful when going up and down the stairs.”

“It’s fine. I feel like I have almost recovered.”

Since Xiang Caiping recognized her daughter, her mood gradually improved. She had a complete transformation from being her lifeless old self to participating actively in physical therapy.

Now she could engage in her daily routine with no problems, except when carrying heavy duties or doing extreme sports.

“You should be careful nevertheless,” Su Peizhen told Xiang Caiping. “When we get home, I am going to hire two caretakers and a housekeeper to take care of you.”

Su Peizhen’s expression looked very firm when she said this. “I need to earn more money so that you can have a good life.”

“Oh you,” teased Xiang Caiping. “Mom doesn’t need you to do anything for me.” Xiang Caiping felt happy, hearing Su Peizhen’s sweet words.

Su Qingsang’s personality was not terrible but a bit cold. Once she got to know someone, she could make some jokes and get closer to them. However, she never could say nice things to make her happy as Su Peizhen did. Su Peizhen was a sweet talker and it was even more comforting that it was her own daughter.

After spending some days with her, Xiang Caiping accepted her as her daughter and felt closer to her.

After calling a cab, the two went to the place where Xiang Caiping had previously been living.

Before coming over, Xiang Caiping had called her cleaning lady to clean up the place. She had asked her to come over to clean the house from time to time even before she had left for Lin City.

Now that the place was ready, they could just move in right away.

Xiang Caiping liked a place with a yard, so she bought this small house with the remaining money after she had paid off the bank loan.

The house was two and a half floors, so not a big place. There was a small courtyard on one side and a parking lot in the back.

At the time she bought it, she had thought that the place would be big enough for herself. Even with a helper, there were still rooms left. When she was free, she did some gardening out front.

“Look, since I haven’t taken care of it for a while, this garden has fallen.”

When Xiang Caiping entered the front door, she found her plants lifeless. It had snowed before, and even though the snow had melted, some plants couldn’t take the chillness.
