Li Qianxue did not appear to blame him when she said this. However, the mockery in her eyes was apparent.

Su Chenghui’s complexion instantly paled. Li Qianxue sneered, “You should remember what you did, right? I still remember some things clearly, even though they happened twenty years ago, I can still remember them clearly. I don’t believe your memory has failed to this extent, right?”

Su Chenghui was speechless, Li Qianxue continued, “Su Chenghui, in the past, I was blind, and all I wanted was your love. Later, I realized that I was very foolish. Because I overestimated myself, you had the chance to hurt me again and again. You even had the chance to hurt my child. Let me tell you right now. It won’t happen again, not in the future.”

“Qianxue, I didn’t –”

He wanted to explain, but he swallowed his words when he met Li Qianxue’s piercing eyes.

Li Qianxue stared at Su Chenghui’s face and her heart didn’t waver at all.

“Just because you said a few words of affection, and just because you admitted your regret, do I have to forgive you? Do I have to get back together with you? Su Chenghui, who gave you the confidence and courage to say such shameless words?”

“But I don’t believe a single word you said. You don’t have to say it.”

“Qianxue.” this situation was not out of Su Chenghui expectations. But when he truly encountered such a situation, he really felt a strong sense of helplessness.

“You… what exactly do I have to do in order for you to be willing to forgive me?”

“I will never forgive you. I never will.”

Li Qianxue didn’t mind clarifying herself. “No matter what you do or say, I won’t believe a word of it. No matter what you want, or what your purpose is, I won’t give in to you at all. Su Chenghui. After the divorce, you and I can only be strangers. If you are willing, then we will part ways and live in peace.”

“But if you are unwilling, or if you still want to obtain something that doesn’t belong to you, or if you still hope to use me, then you will only be faced with disappointment.”

“I don’t.” Su Chenghui hurriedly explained, “Qianxue, what I said is true. My feelings for you are serious. I –”

“I am also being serious.”

Li Qianxue interrupted him and her gaze suddenly became extremely piercing. “I am being serious. Su Chenghui, don’t do something that you and I will regret.”

“I’m not afraid to tell you that your words will not soften my heart. Even your precious daughter was not able to soften my heart.”

Precious daughter? Surprise flashed past Su Chenghui’s face. “You…You’re talking about Peizhen? What… what happened to her?”

“Does your heart ache? Are you feeling anxious?” Li Qianxue smiled, even though there was some bitterness hidden in the depths of her smile.

After all, she was the daughter she raised herself. Now she had become a tool to deal with Su Chenghui.

It was impossible to say that she didn’t waver at all. But this was the only way, and also the fastest way to force Su Chenghui to give up.

“You probably don’t know, right? Your daughter, Su Peizhen. She cried yesterday, begging me to acknowledge her once more and bring her back into the Su family. Don’t you think it’s funny?”

“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui’s body trembled, and he stood there in a daze.

Even though he had some disagreements with Su Peizhen previously because of some matters, she was still his daughter whom he had doted on for many years.

“Are you feeling uncomfortable? Su Chenghui, you deserve this. You’re the one who harmed her.”

“Do you know that when she begged me, she looked exactly the same as you just now? I should have recorded it for you to see. You two father and daughter resemble each other too much.”

“Qianxue, stop talking.”

Su Chenghui’s shoulders drooped down, and he looked dejected.

“Qianxue, Peizhen is actually innocent. Please don’t hurt her.”

The people he had wronged were not merely Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue. He had also wronged Su Peizhen.

She was right. He shouldn’t have given her such an identity and then cruelly threw her from such a high place.

He was a failure who had been making mistakes time and time again. He had let down too many people.

“Su Chenghui, if you don’t want me to hurt your precious daughter, then please stay away from me. I don’t want to see you, be it due to chance or intention. This is the simplest and most direct way of expressing myself. If it’s possible, please take a detour even if you see me in the future. Stay away from me, alright?”

When Li Qianxue spoke to this point, she didn’t forget to flash a proud smile. “Of course, if you refuse, I don’t mind doing something to Su Peizhen. You should know that I am capable of doing so. After all, she wholeheartedly wants to be my daughter. She loves me and cares about me, doesn’t she?”

“Qianxue, I beg you. Don’t say it. You won’t. You’re not that kind of person. Peizhen, she’s also your daughter.”

“She’s not. My daughter is Su Qingsang. I hope you remember this.”

Li Qianxue took a step forward, she glared at Su Chenghui. “Su Peizhen is not my daughter. Let me tell you, even if I raised her for more than 20 years, and even if she has a mother-daughter relationship with me for more than 20 years… It’s still not enough to overcome the mistakes and sins you’ve committed. Did you think I’d show mercy to her just because of the mother-daughter relationship we shared in the past? You’re wrong.”

“I hate her as much as I treated her well and loved her back then. Because such affections were stolen by you and your daughter shamelessly. You stole the happiness and motherly affection that was supposed to belong to my daughter. Su Chenghui, let me express this clearly. After I found out what you did, I will no longer have any mother-daughter relationship with Su Peizhen.”

“Because if I still have feelings for her, then I can only do as you wish and give you another chance to toy with me. And I don’t want to give you such a chance.”

She had treated Su Peizhen well before, and now she hated her as much as she hated her. All of this was caused by Su Chenghui.

“Qianxue… I really didn’t. I…”

“Whether you did or not, I don’t care anymore. Just treat me as a petty person. No matter what you say or do, it can’t erase the hatred in my heart. So don’t waste your effort.”

Su Chenghui stood there motionlessly. He definitely knew how difficult this path was going to be beforehand.

But when he truly stepped on this path, he realized that its difficulty was much greater than he thought.

Li Qianxue refused to believe his words. No matter what he said, she would not believe it.

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui stood there without moving. His eyes were filled with pain and regret. Li Qianxue was unmoved.

She crossed her arms in front of her chest. She had long given up on Su Chenghui.

Even though she came close to wavering because of Su Peizhen, these emotions were suppressed when she recalled the grievances that Su Qingsang had suffered all these years.

This was also the reason why she could be so cold when she was confronted by Su Peizhen yesterday.

“I’ll repeat myself one more time. If you continue to pester me, I’ll go deal with Su Peizhen. You know it’s within my capabilities. I can do it.”

More importantly, Su Peizhen still had an attachment towards her. Even if she didn’t do anything, it was enough to hurt her.

She knew this, and so did Su Chenghui.

“Okay. I’ll go.” Su Chenghui’s shoulders drooped even more, and his whole person radiated a sense of dejection.

“Qianxue, I’ll go. I only hope that you won’t hurt Su Peizhen for the sake of the mother-daughter relationship you shared with her in the past twenty years.”

Li Qianxue stood still, but her eyes became colder and harsher. Don’t Hurt Su Peizhen? So she could let Su Peizhen hurt Su Qingsang?

She was indeed the child of another woman. Su Chenghui, ah, Su Chenghui, where did you get the face to say that you love me?

After Su Chenghui left, the room became quiet.

Li Qianxue’s figure was straight. She looked at a certain spot expressionlessly. She seemed to have thought of something and her face turned ugly.

However, this ugly expression did not last long.

She used to be as gentle as water, but now, her heart was as hard as a knife.

She was not wrong.

Huo Jinyao stared at the document in front of him and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind. Huo Yifan had already entered his trap. He was just one step away from taking the bait.

Once he signed the contract, it would serve as irrefutable evidence. At that time, he wanted to see how his grandfather would protect the second young master of the Huo family.

“President Huo, what are we going to do next?”

“We don’t have to do anything else.” Huo Jinyao smiled, he placed the document back into Yang Wenchang’s hands. “We just need to keep an eye on them and make them lower their guard. Then, we’ll wait for them to sign the contract. We just need to put the contract in front of grandfather.”

Yang Wenchang glanced at Huo Jinyao, and hesitation could be seen on his face.

Huo Jinyao seemed to understand what he was trying to say. He spoke calmly, “What? Do you think I’m too soft-hearted? Do you think I should just hand over the evidence to the board after they sign the contract? That way, Huo Yifan will never be able to rise again?”

If that was the case, Huo Yifan would have to leave Tian Domain. He would not be able to maintain a firm hold over the position as vice president of Tian Domain Group.

Yang Wenchang remained silent. That was indeed what he thought.

“In fact, I want to do that too.” Huo Yifan glanced at him with an indifferent expression. “But, grandfather won’t like it.”

“Grandfather is old. He values relationships. He won’t like to see us siblings fight.”

Yang Wenchang stopped talking. With Grandpa Huo’s personality, that was indeed possible. If Huo Jinyao really did that… Grandpa Huo would probably feel that Huo Jinyao was being too cruel and merciless again.

“Just take it as a lesson for him.” Huo Jinyao respected Grandpa Huo. “If he still doesn’t know how to restrain himself, then I certainly won’t be polite anymore. This time, he can consider himself lucky.”

He only hoped that Huo Yifan would not be too stupid. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted unscrupulously?

If that was the case, then don’t blame him for being impolite.

Yang Wenchang nodded and recalled another matter. “Oh right, our company’s anniversary is coming up. The activity schedule has been released. President Huo, take a look at this plan.”

Anniversary celebration? Huo Jinyao remembered that Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui were both in Rong City.

Although he did not want to interfere in the matter between Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue, he could help Su Chenghui for the sake of Su Qingsang.

“Prepare two VIP invitations. I’ll need them when the time comes.”

“Yes.”

“As for the flow of events, I won’t look at it in too much detail. It’ll be more or less the same as last year.”

After Huo Jinyao asked Yang Wenchang to leave, he suddenly thought of something.

Since Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue were both coming to the anniversary celebration, Huo Yifan would definitely bring Su Peizhen along.

If that was the case, there would be a good show to watch.

In the boutique, Su Qingsang lowered her head and stared at herself. Then she looked at Li Qianxue.

“Mom, this one?”

“No, try on that one again.”
