Chapter 484 - Maybe People Should Never Make Mistakes (2/2)

“Darling, I’m not taking pleasure in his misfortune. I’m just being sensible.”

He held Su Qingsang’s hand and said very seriously, “Think about it. A man didn’t figure out what’s the most important thing in his life until he turned fifty. Isn’t that sad?”

“If he was smart enough to figure that out earlier, none of this would’ve happened.”

He had gone from the son-in-law of the Li Family to an ordinary man with nothing to his name. The difference between the two statuses was vast.

Su Chenghui’s greatest mistake was never thinking about what was most important to him, or what he would’ve hated to lose the most.

Su Qingsang understood that. Even so, how many people in the world were born knowing exactly what they wanted?

Many people spent their whole lives searching aimlessly but still didn’t find an answer.

“Alright, stop thinking about your father. He’s a grown man. Let him worry about himself.”

If he truly loved Li Qianxue, he would’ve done something about it. After all, he wasn’t young anymore. If he didn’t take the opportunity to make an effort to change that, he might end up regretting it forever.

If he didn’t love Li Qianxue and only wanted to benefit from the Li Family, a divorce would be a good thing for him.

Either way, Su Qingsang, as his daughter, couldn’t do much to help him in that regard.

“I know.” Su Qingsang just couldn’t stop thinking about that. If Su Chenghui had come back to his senses earlier, he wouldn’t…

An arm suddenly wrapped around her waist tightly. Su Qingsang wasn’t prepared for that. As a result, she fell into Huo Jinyao’s arms.

“What?”

“What… do you think?” Huo Jinyao’s intention was pretty obvious.

Su Qingsang patted him on the shoulder and said, “Stop it. I’m on my period.”

Huo Jinyao’s hands froze underneath Su Qingsang’s clothes. He looked at her with a rather disheartened expression.

“Didn’t you get it too early this time?”

“Yeah. I don’t know why.”

Her period had come earlier than she expected this month. It was probably because she had recently switched to a new living environment.

Huo Jinyao took a deep breath, then buried his head in Su Qingsang’s neck and rubbed her neck with his cheek.

“Alright, go take a shower.”

Instead of doing as she said, Huo Jinyao put his arms around her waist. Su Qingsang paused briefly. She hadn’t sensed Huo Jinyao’s sadness until now.

While she ranted, Huo Jinyao had been trying to cheer her up ever since returning home. Now, she found that he didn’t seem happy either.

“What happened?”

“Nothing,” Huo Jinyao said with a deep voice. “I just want to hold you.”

Since he didn’t want to share, she didn’t ask any further questions. All she did was to put her arms around his body and hold him tight.

Their position allowed her to hear his heartbeat. She pressed her ear on his chest and whispered, “Huo Jinyao, if something is bothering you, you can talk to me about it. I don’t know much about the things in your company, but I’ll listen.”

“Alright.” Huo Jinyao rubbed his temples. Seeing the serious look on Su Qingsang’s face, he leaned in and kissed her lips with a smile.

…

Su Qingsang’s work in the hospital smoothened out. It wasn’t like she was unfamiliar with anything anyway.

After she a.s.sisted Sui Huiya with one surgical procedure, Sui Huiya started letting her perform some small operations. A while later, she was allowed to attempt some major surgeries too.

Su Qingsang slowly grew busier. She did not only need to work during the daytime. Sometimes, she had to work nights.h.i.+fts too.

The nights.h.i.+fts were divided into short and long ones. Short nights.h.i.+fts allowed her to go home in the middle of the night, but long ones required her to stay in the hospital for a whole night.

Su Qingsang eventually adjusted to her busy schedule. However, her working a bit too hard made Huo Jinyao worry about her.

He would never try to stop her from doing anything she was happy to do. Instead, he often told Ms. Yu to make some delicious or nouris.h.i.+ng food for her.

On the weekends, Huo Jinyao always brought Su Qingsang back to the family house.

Old Master Huo loved to be surrounded by his families.

Normally, all family members would gather in the family house on Friday night. Apart from Huo Mingguang and his family, Huo Mingliang, Huo Mingmei, and their families would all be there.

The atmosphere at the dining table was warm.

Earlier, Huo Mingmei was embarra.s.sed by Li Qianxue, which made her unhappy. Seeing Su Qingsang upset her again.

Su Qingsang had lived in Rong City for about half a month. It was the first time she had dinner together with Huo Jinyao’s family since she started working.

Last Friday, Su Qingsang missed the family dinner because she kindly did a nights.h.i.+ft for one of her colleagues.

This Friday, she made it to the family dinner.

Su Qingsang’s presence reminded Huo Mingmei of how Li Qianxue embarra.s.sed her last time. The smile on her face grew slightly cold as her eyes landed on Su Qingsang.

She intended to make Su Qingsang pay for what her mother had done. Li Qianxue was such a good mother after all. Huo Mingmei believed that Su Qingsang should make it up to her for what Li Qianxue did.
