Chapter 438: Xiang Caiping’s Phone Call
The amount of hatred Li Qianxue felt toward Su Chenghui matched the amount of guilt and self-blame she felt toward Su Qingsang.
“Why are you still here? Get out now. You are not welcome in this home anymore.”
Su Chenghui stood there in his corner and remained completely motionless. Su Qingsang and Li Qianxue had only cared about their reconciliation earlier.
Even Old Master Li and Su Yuxin were focusing on Su Qingsang, and no one had cared about him.
Now that he was called on by Li Qianxue, all eyes were directed at him.
Based on the look in Old Master Li’s eyes, it was obvious that he thought just like Li Qianxue, and was completely disgusted with Su Chenghui. Although Su Yuxin had felt a bit of compassion for him, he also felt that Su Chenghui had gone overboard and didn’t want to deal with him for the time being.
Huo Jinyao’s focus was on Su Qingsang just now, but when he looked at Su Chenghui, he could feel no sympathy for him
Su Qingsang was finally able to lay eyes on Su Chenghui. In fact, Li Qianxue had hugged her just as she entered the door earlier, and all this time, she had no chance to any pay any attention to her surroundings.
Now that she got to see Su Chenghui, she suddenly felt that he was a bit pitiful.
It was hard to believe he was the General Manager of the company. He had just endured a couple of slaps from Li Qianxue, and his face was still swollen now.
There were two marks on his shoulder from Old Master Li’s strikes. One couldn’t really tell, but those marks had caused his shoulders to slump more than usual. His whole person seemed to give off a sense of dispiritedness.
If Li Qianxue had seen Su Chenghui like this in the past, she would have fought back much earlier.
Now her mood was set, and her eyes were filled with indifference, disgust, and hate.
“Get out now.” Li Qianxue really hated Su Chenghui to the core now. “You are not welcome here. Get out of my sight.”
Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue. In his memory of her, even when she was angry, she was still a proud person.
No matter how much she ever seemed to hate him, there was still love in her eyes that she couldn’t hide. Now, he was not able to find the slightest bit of affection in her eyes. There was only pure hatred.
She hated him. When he realized this, Su Chenghui was shaken to his core. His lips trembled a little as he looked at Li Qianxue. He had a lot to say, things that he harbored in his heart, but none of those words seemed to be able to come out.
“Qianxue...”
“Get out of my sight.” Li Qianxue pointed to the door. “Su Chenghui, if you don’t want to lose face, just show yourself out. Otherwise, I’ll have to call the police.”
The firm expression on her face was a sign to Su Chenghui that she really meant what she said.
If he didn’t leave now, she might actually try to call the police.
Su Chenghui closed his eyes. Once upon a time, they had been a well-known and envied couple in the business circles, but now they only had animosity for each other
“Qianxue.” He could not get a divorce.
“I told you to get out.” Li Qianxue really couldn’t hide the agitation she felt and vehemently pointed at the door.
As Su Qingsang regarded Su Chenghui’s current state, she pitied him for some reason.
She no longer knew what to say to Su Chenghui
“Mom, I’m hungry.”
She would never be able to forgive Su Chenghui. In a single stroke, he had ruined the lives of several innocent people.
However, watching him get shamed by Li Qianxue again and again in front of his children, Su Qingsang felt unable to hold that thought.
All she could do was change the topic so that Li Qianxue would stop scolding Su Chenghui altogether.
“Oh, you’re hungry? Let’s hurry to dinner then.”
Li Qianxue’s attention was suddenly diverted. She did not even spare Su Chenghui a glance.
Old Master Li regarded her a little more intently as Su Qingsang spoke.
Although this granddaughter of his had not been brought up by Li Qianxue before, she had a truly remarkable nature. At this time, to think that she could still spare a thought for Su Chenghui, and use this move so he would have a means of escape!..
Huo Jinyao did not miss Old Master Li’s reaction. His eyes softened as he looked at Su Qingsang.
Others might have missed the fact, but he saw this, clear as day. His Su Qingsang was kind beyond measure.
Even though Su Chenghui had done so much to let Su Qingsang down, she couldn’t ignore what he was facing at that time.
“Let’s go then.”
Li Qianxue kept holding Su Qingsang’s hand and refused to let go as she guided her towards the dining area.
Looking at the spread of dishes on the table, she found that the maids in the kitchen had made all the dishes the family normally liked to eat.
She suddenly seemed to turn haughty again.
“Why didn’t you make a few dishes that the young mistress likes?”
The maids and the cook looked at each other. There was so much commotion in the living room, but there was no way they could have gone over to watch.
They could not have known what had happened, and for Li Qianxue to say this and catch them unawares seemed a bit ridiculous.
“Isn’t Miss still in the United States?”
A very small voice came up, and Li Qianxue was about to throw a fit again. Su Qingsang quickly held on to her.
“Mom. Don’t be like this, you will scare people. They don’t even know.”
Li Qianxue was just about to show her temper when she seemed to realize that she was being unreasonable. It didn’t seem right to complain.
She turned to face Su Qingsang and asked, “What do you usually like to eat?”
She had just realized that she didn’t even know what Su Qingsang liked. As she said this her voice sounded even more guilty and remorseful.
“Mom, it doesn’t matter. You don’t really need to do this.”
She spoke so casually, but Li Qianxue felt her heart wrench.
Her daughter should have been raised with all the luxuries she deserved. Now it just looked like she was treated like chaff by the wayside.
She became more laden with guilt and pulled Su Qingsang to sit beside her.
“Qingsang, what do you like to eat? Tell your mother, and I’ll have them make it for you next time.”
“Alright.” At this time, Su Qingsang did not want to reject her good intentions, and just nodded slightly without objection.
Old Master Li and Su Yuxin both sat down at the table. Su Chenghui didn’t follow them. At least he knew his boundaries.
If he had dared to come in, Li Qianxue would have sworn that she would kick him out of the house herself.
Huo Jinyao sat next to Su Qingsang and watched Li Qianxue pick the best parts of the dishes for her daughter.
It was not only her, either. Old Master Li and Su Yuxin also had a lot to say. However, they all knew how excited Li Qianxue was at this time, and next to her they decided to show some restraint.
This was not the first time that Su Qingsang had eaten with Li Qianxue, but it was the first time she was participating in the meal as a legitimate daughter.
That feeling was rather incredible. After a while, her bowl was filled to a portion she was sure she could not finish.
Li Qianxue really wanted to make amends. She couldn’t wait to make up for the large blocks of time that they never were able to spend with each other, even though she knew that such a void could not be filled easily or soon.
Su Qingsang could understand how she felt, so even though Li Qianxue’s enthusiasm made her a little bit uncomfortable, she still smiled and accepted her offerings of kindness.
Su Qingsang was soon so full that she could not eat anymore, all thanks to Old Master Li and Li Qianxue, who went a bit overboard.
Su Qingsang was really overwhelmed by their overflowing enthusiasm.
“I’m really too full.” She glanced at Huo Jinyao, silently asking for help. Huo Jinyao was just trying to make an excuse for her to be let off when her cell phone suddenly rang.
She froze for a few moments, and as the group around her collectively turned to look at her, she took out her mobile phone awkwardly.
Xiang Caiping’s number was displayed on the screen.
