Chapter 454 - I Will Never Make You Angry (2/2)

Su Qingsang had been smiling for the whole day. Her smile became stiff. “I usually don’t have much time for fun. There’s a lot of work to do at the hospital, so I am quite busy during the day.”

“Of course. Qingsang is a doctor. You are amazing,” said Bai Zhenlan.

Bai Yirou, another of Bai Zhenlan’s sisters, opened her mouth. “Next time, if we want to go to your hospital for a physical examination, can you help us make a reservation in advance?”

Su Qingsang had no idea how to answer that question. “I no longer work at First Hospital of Lin City. So I don’t have that kind of access anymore.”

“You aren’t practicing anymore?” Li Yishan looked at Su Qingsang and said, “Is it because you plan to work for Li Group?”

As she asked this, the rest of them looked at each other curiously, waiting for Su Qingsang’s answer.

If she ended up working for Li Group, it would be easier to cooperate in the future. It was vital information for both families.

“No.” Su Qingsang was flabbergasted. “I might go to Rong City.”

Hearing this, they remembered that Su Qingsang’s husband was the president of Tianyu Group, which had its headquarters in Rong City.

“Qingsang, you are so lucky.” Another granddaughter of great-aunt couldn’t help joining in. “I heard Tianyu Group is one of the best companies in the nation.”

“And the most important thing is that President Huo is very fond of you.”

The next person to interject was Li Zhirong. She was proud to have been at a party that President Huo Jinyao had attended.

In all honesty, she envied Su Qingsang’s good fortune—she was married to the president of Tianyu Group, after all. And now, she was becoming the lady of the Su Family.

The rest of them began flattering and complimenting Su Qingsang as well.

Su Qingsang was not used to conversations like these, and quickly became uncomfortable. Just as she was looking for an excuse to leave, Su Peizhen showed up in the door to the living room.

The first thing that Su Peizhen saw when she entered the living room was all the cousins who used to hang out with her, cl.u.s.tered around Su Qingsang.

She could see their ingratiating faces even from outside the crowd.

These people, who had acted completely differently not long ago, had suddenly become different people.

All this, just because Su Qingsang was named the lady of the Su Family? Just because Su Qingsang now had a better ident.i.ty?

But that ident.i.ty belonged to her! Su Peizhen thought.

Any rationality that Su Peizhen had left was gone the moment she witnessed the scene in front of her.

She allowed impulse to get the best of her. Ignoring Su Qingsang, she dashed through the crowd and marched up to Li Qianxue.

Li Qianxue had been busy discussing company business with two of her cousins.

Since she had decided to divorce Su Chenghui, she had to make sure she was fully prepared.

Su Chenghui might not continue to work at Li Group after the divorce. Even if he preferred to stay, Li Qianxue didn’t want him there anymore.

She felt disgusted even at the thought of Su Chenghui staying. However, after thinking it over, she realized that if Su Chenghui left, she would have to hire new staff to replace him.

It was in the midst of this heated discussion, that a familiar voice interrupted her sentence.

“Mom.”

Li Qianxue turned and saw Su Peizhen’s pale face. It was obvious that she had been crying. Li Qianxue’s face turned serious.

“Peizhen. Why are you down here? Did you get some rest?”

There were two layers of meaning behind her words: First, did Su Chenghui tell you the truth? Secondly, if you know the truth, why did you still show up here?

“I don’t need rest.” Su Peizhen was a smart girl, but her quick-wittedness was clouded by her emotions.

She felt so much anger and pain at her loss of ident.i.ty, that she could no longer keep her wits about her.

“Mom, did dad lie to me? I am your daughter, right?”

There was a desperate note in her voice. She’d known Li Qianxue as her mother for over twenty years.

Looking at her, Li Qianxue felt a stab in her heart.

Her hatred towards Su Chenghui was rapidly growing, but she remained calm. “You are a daughter of the Su Family; that will never change. Don’t worry.”

It was the only thing she could give Su Peizhen.

Su Peizhen was still a daughter of the Su Family. She was willing to allow her that dignity considering she had raised Su Peizhen for over twenty years.

But the facts were facts. Su Peizhen was not her daughter, and Li Qianxue would not allow her to have what didn’t belong to her.

Li Qianxue didn’t think she was being harsh. In fact, she couldn’t help but remember that Su Qingsang was the one who had been mistreated for many years.

On the flip side, Su Peizhen had enjoyed many benefits and advantages from being the lady of the Su Family, while in actuality, she was the daughter of Xiang Caiping.

At the thought of this, Li Qianxue knew she couldn’t be soft on Peizhen.

When it came to Su Chenghui, she chose to divorce him and fight back. Facing Su Peizhen, though, she wanted to do her a favor.

“It’s different.” Su Peizhen quickly realized what Li Qianxue had meant. “Mom, it’s different.”

Looking at Li Qianxue, Su Peizhen grabbed her arm imploringly. “Mom, I don’t want to just be a daughter of the Su Family. I want to be your daughter. You have cared for me for over twenty years, haven’t you?”

Did the past mean nothing to her? Su Peizhen thought.
