The restaurant was decorated in a Southern style and appeared especially exotic. Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping were sitting opposite each other by the window.

The waiter brought the menu over. Su Qingsang asked Xiang Caiping to order, but she wasn’t in the mood. She waved her hand and pushed the menu back to Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang didn’t refuse. She ordered a few dishes that Xiang Caiping liked.

She had unintentionally revealed these likes when she was in Lin City. As for Su Qingsang, she still remembered it.

Xiang Caiping sat there without moving. Because of Su Qingsang’s actions, the words that she wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She couldn’t say them.

“How have you been lately? You went to C City before, an I only heard about the earthquake there later. I was very worried about you. I tried calling you, but I couldn’t get through. I only heard that you were fine after I went to your hospital.”

After sitting for a while, Xiang Caiping finally spoke. Her words were filled with concern for Su Qingsang.

“Yes. Yes, I almost died in the earthquake.”

Su Qingsang didn’t hide anything. Truthfully, if it wasn’t for Zhang Yichen, she would have died long ago. Now that she was fine, she could laugh about the experience that day.

Xiang Caiping knew that it was no trivial matter. She heard that hundreds of people died this time. Thousands of people were seriously injured.

“It’s good that you’re okay now. It’s good that you’re okay.”

“Yeah, it’s good that you’re okay.”

They then fell silent. Su Qingsang felt a little sad. She knew clearly why Xiang Caiping came, but she couldn’t take the initiative to say it.

Xiang Caiping wanted to say something, but she hesitated. In the end, the waiter began to serve the dishes, but she didn’t say what she wanted to say.

None of them felt at ease during the meal, until most of the dishes on the table were taken care of, and Su Qingsang was so full that she put down her chopsticks. Xiang Caiping still didn’t say what she wanted to say.

“Auntie, if there’s nothing else, I’ll send you home. It’s getting late.”

“Huh?”

“Go home. It will be late if you don’t go home. Auntie Zhao might be worried about you by then.”

“Oh, okay.”

Xiang Caiping nodded and followed Su Qingsang into her car.

The night was getting darker. Su Qingsang felt Xiang Caiping’s gaze before she could speak.

“Aunt, is your waist better? You haven’t experienced any pain recently, right?”

“No, no.” Su Qingsang gave Xiang Caiping the physical therapy device. Xiang Caiping used it persistently, so she really hadn’t had any pain recently.

When she thought of this, her expression became complicated again.

“That’s good.”

There was another period of silence. Xiang Caiping couldn’t say the rest of her words because of Su Qingsang’s concern.

The person who committed the crime was Su Peizhen. If the police was able to lock her up, it might be because she had really done something wrong.

Since that was the case, what was the use of her looking for Su Qingsang?

Su Qingsang continued to struggle internally until her car stopped at the entrance of the villa. Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang and finally got out of the car without saying a word.

Su Qingsang turned the car around. She originally wanted to leave just like that. However, when she saw Xiang Caiping standing there and watching her car without moving, she was moved.

“Auntie.” Su Qingsang stuck her head out.

“Yes?” Xiang Caiping took a step forward.

“Auntie, you’re here alone. If you need anything, you can look for me. If you have any difficulties, you can also look for Jinyao.”

She actually knew that Huo Jinyao didn’t intend to let Su Peizhen off this time, so she was just saying things.

“If I can’t solve it, I believe he should be able to solve it.”

Huo Jinyao could solve it, but the point was, Huo Jinyao wouldn’t help Xiang Caiping.

Su Qingsang couldn’t bear this, so she nodded at Xiang Caiping and started the car.

Xiang Caiping was a smart person, and she instantly understood what Su Qingsang meant.

She knew why she was looking for her today, and she understood what she wanted to say, but there was nothing she could do.

Xiang Caiping simply stood there. Summer had arrived. The wind wasn’t cold, but she felt waves of coldness.

This time, was she really going to let Su Peizhen go to jail?

..

Su Qingsang was still in a bad mood after she returned home. She couldn’t bear to think about Xiang Caiping.

What did Xiang Caiping do wrong? She wasn’t the cause of all this tragedy, but Xiang Caiping was the one who bore the brunt of it.

By the time she entered the house, Auntie Yu had already tidied up the house and left.

Huo Jinyao had also returned and was making a phone call in the living room. Upon seeing her enter the house, he said a few words and hung up.

Su Qingsang changed her shoes and walked over to Huo Jinyao’s side to sit down.

He put his phone aside and looked at her complexion. “Have you eaten? Are you too tired? You don’t look well.”

Su Qingsang shook her head and reached out to hug Huo Jinyao. However, the moment her body touched Huo Jinyao, she froze.

“Honey?”

Su Qingsang didn’t move. Her nose moved. It smelled like perfume. She seemed to have smelled it before.

She recalled that she had smelled it on Huo Jinyao when he came home that night.

The scent was so faint that Su Qingsang almost ignored it.

But this time, she was sensitive enough to smell it. It was stronger than the last time. If she guessed correctly, it was the scent of a woman’s perfume.

“Qingsang?”

Huo Jinyao called out to her again. Su Qingsang sat up straight and her gaze fell on Huo Jinyao’s face.

She tried to find a trace of guilt or some other emotion on his face.

But she didn’t find it.

“You –”

“What’s wrong with you?” Huo Jinyao saw her expression and reached out to touch Su Qingsang’s forehead. “Are you really not feeling well? Do you want to see a doctor?”

“No need.” Su Qingsang reflexively avoided Huo Jinyao’s hand and sat back a little.

She scratched her head and finally decided to trust Huo Jinyao.

“Did you have any business entertainment today?”

Su Qingsang actually knew that Huo Jinyao usually had a lot of business entertainment. However, because he realized that she didn’t seem to like such environments and occasions, he purposely reduced them.

However, when she wasn’t aware of it, the places that Huo Jinyao went to usually weren’t that simple.

Putting everything else aside, Huo Jinyao going to Charm of Night was a typical example, not to mention that he also had Cheng Xianyun, Wan Xianyang, and the others by his side.

Su Qingsang could understand if he accidentally got perfume on him because the other party had business entertainment.
