Chapter 634 - What Do You Plan To Do (1/2)
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
Su Qingsang looked at the crystal moon cakes on the table. She couldn’t hide the admiration in her eyes.
“Auntie, you’re amazing.”
Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang’s pure and clear eyes. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been a little spoiled. From time to time, she would think of troubling others.
But this kind of trouble was only in terms of eating. In other places, she tried her best not to cause trouble for others. For example, she continued to work, and she also continued to operate.
“This is actually very simple.”
“Even if it’s simple, I don’t know how to do it.”
Su Qingsang looked at the pattern on the crystal moon cake and touched it lightly with her finger.
“So cute.”
“Try it.” Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang’s appearance and lamented softly in her heart. If she was really her daughter, how good would it be?
Su Peizhen was still in prison. She didn’t know what Su Peizhen’s situation would be like after she was released from prison.
Would she recognize her? Xiang Caiping didn’t know if she would be willing to live with her.
In fact, even if Su Peizhen was willing to, with twenty years of growing up with a silver spoon in her mouth, Su Peizhen wouldn’t be as easily satisfied as Su Qingsang was.
On this point, she would rather Su Qingsang be her daughter.
“It’s delicious.” Su Qingsang didn’t notice the ambivalent look in Xiang Caiping’s eyes. She tasted one and said with satisfaction, “It’s really delicious. Auntie, you’re amazing.”
“If you like it, eat some more. I bought other ingredients too. I’ll make egg yolk stuffing for you tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Su Qingsang nodded and didn’t stand on ceremony.
She answered casually, but Xiang Caiping wasn’t angry. In fact, Su Qingsang was indeed very casual with Xiang Caiping, because only by being casual wouldn’t she make Xiang Caiping feel uncomfortable.
With Xiang Caiping’s personality, if Su Qingsang really got along with her carefully, Xiang Caiping would definitely feel uncomfortable, and she would be reluctant to stay here.
…
Xiang Caiping packed up her clothes. She would leave after making the moon cakes the next day.
Looking at the room she had stayed in for more than a month, she felt a little reluctant to part with it. In fact, what was there to take revenge for? How could it be more important than making herself comfortable?
Unfortunately, no matter how nice this place was, it wasn’t her place.
A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. When she opened the door, the person standing outside was Huo Jinyao.
“Auntie.”
“Jinyao?”
“Auntie, are you folding clothes?” Huo Jinyao glanced at the pile of clothes on the bed. “Did I disturb you?”
“No. Come in.”
Xiang Caiping let Huo Jinyao in. Huo Jinyao closed the door after he entered. His attitude made Xiang Caiping’s heart skip a beat, and her expression turned serious.
“Is something wrong with Qingsang? She –”
“She’s fine. She’s going to take a shower now.”
Huo Jinyao took a look at Xiang Caiping’s room. As his apartment was built from two apartments, all the rooms had been expanded and were very large.
Even the guest rooms had bathrooms and changing rooms. After Xiang Caiping moved in, Su Qingsang added some things to the room, and now, it was much more cozy than when it was empty before.
He didn’t speak, and Xiang Caiping didn’t know what to say either.
“Jinyao, is there something you need?”
“Yes, there’s something.” Huo Jinyao sat down on the sofa in the room. He wasn’t in a hurry to speak, and his expression seemed a little grave.
“Just say what you have to say.”Xiang Caiping had a faint premonition in her heart, and she knew what Huo Jinyao was going to say.
“Auntie.” After a minute of silence, Huo Jinyao finally spoke, “Thank you for taking care of Qingsang for the past month. You’ve taken good care of her. She’s also in a much better condition than before. Today, she had a checkup at the hospital. Everything was normal and she is in excellent health. This is all thanks to you.”
“It’s nothing. Thank Qingsang for not minding me.”
“Of course it’s all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, Qingsang would still be puking her guts out. I’m really grateful to you.”
“Jinyao,” Xiang Caiping interrupted him, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Actually, it’s nothing.” Huo Jinyao found it very difficult to speak. “Qingsang’s mother is here. She’s staying at the hotel now –”
Huo Jinyao was speechless. In fact, the five-star hotel was owned by Tang Mohan’s family. He happened to be looking for Tang Mohan today and saw Su Chenghui by accident.
It was normal for Su Chenghui to come to Rong City but not to see Su Qingsang. However, Su Qingsang didn’t know about it at all. That wasn’t normal.
He asked around and found out that Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue were staying in the hotel.
Li Qianxue didn’t arrive today. She arrive yesterday. The last time she arrived, she directly moved in. This time, she didn’t. Why?
There was only one explanation. Li Qianxue saw Xiang Caiping.
She wasn’t as magnanimous as Su Qingsang, and she wasn’t as naive as Su Qingsang. Yes, Su Qingsang actually knew that Xiang Caiping and Li Qianxue couldn’t get along well. They couldn’t even stay in the same place.
But now that she was pregnant, her emotions were sensitive and moody. She thought that she could handle it, that she could handle the balance well.
But Huo Jinyao wouldn’t be so naive. He knew better than anyone that Xiang caiping and Li Qianxue had a grudge that couldn’t be resolved.
Xiang Caiping saw Huo Jinyao’s expression and understood what he wanted to say next.
“You don’t want Li Qianxue to see me and know that I’m staying at Qingsang’s house. You don’t want me to have a conflict with Li Qianxue, so you want me to leave now?”
“Auntie, Qingsang’s mother can’t stay forever. She –”
Huo Jinyao was halfway through his sentence but couldn’t continue. Even he himself felt that he had gone too far.
He had called her over when he needed her. Now that he didn’t need her anymore, he wanted her to leave. How could that be appropriate?
“I understand.” Xiang Caiping’s expression was rather calm. “I’ll leave tomorrow. Don’t worry.”
“Auntie?”
Huo Jinyao’s expression was filled with guilt and awkwardness. Xiang Caiping smiled. “In fact, I was planning to leave. I just couldn’t let go of Qingsang. Now that her mother is here, I believe she will take good care of Qingsang.”
Huo Jinyao was speechless. In terms of time spent together, Xiang Caiping and Su Qingsang had spent more time together.
He knew that half of Su Qingsang’s reason was guilt, and the other half was sympathy. If Su Qingsang really had a choice, she would have chosen Li Qianxue as well.
But now that she was pregnant, Huo Jinyao didn’t want Su Qingsang to face such a difficult problem, so he decided to be the bad guy. Su Qingsang just had to live her own life and give birth to the child safely.
“It’s fine. Don’t feel guilty. In fact, I shouldn’t have come in the first place.”
“Auntie, don’t say that.”
Huo Jinyao rarely did such things. It didn’ t feel good to be the bad guy.
“It’s really fine.” Xiang Caiping had already decided to leave, but not because of Huo Jinyao’s decision. “Go back and accompany Qingsang. I’ll pack my things and leave tomorrow.”
“Auntie?” Looking guilty, Huo Jinyao stood up. “What can I do for you?”
He could give her money, but that would be a form of insult to Xiang Caiping. Besides, she wouldn’t want his money.
But after saying that, he felt a little regretful. If Xiang Caiping had requested to get Su Peizhen out, he really wouldn’t be able to do it.
“It’s fine, I don’t want anything.”
After Su Peizhen went to jail, she brought the supermarket back to be taken care of it. It wasn’t like she had nothing to do now.
Huo Jinyao nodded. Before he left, he looked at Xiang Caiping and spoke very sincerely.
“Auntie, Qingsang and I will visit you when we have time.”
“There’s no need for you to come.” Xiang Caiping rejected his offer. “Li Qianxue will be unhappy if you come too often. Don’t worry. I’m not that old yet. I’ll take care of myself.”
What she said made sense, but Huo Jinyao felt a little anguished after hearing it.
Back in the room, Su Qingsang was drying her hair. Huo Jinyao saw this and went forward to accept the task. He took the initiative to dry Su Qingsang’s hair.
“Where did you go?”
“I took a call.” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Qingsang’s tightly shut eyes and knew that she didn’t know anything. However, he couldn’t help but think that if Xiang Caiping left tomorrow…
“Qingsang?”
“Yes?”
