Chapter 474: I Will Consider This As Your Last Bit Of Kindness To Me

Su Peizhen hadn’t finished the rest of the sentence, but Xiang Caiping already understood the underlying meaning behind what she was saying.

She wanted to use this to test Su Chenghui but didn’t think of the consequences.

“Now I can see your dad’s true nature. What a hypocrite! If he doesn’t want to give it to you, never mind him. We are in this together. Everything I own belongs to you.”

“Thank you, mom. You are the best.” Su Peizhen buried her face in Xiang Caiping’s arms, smelling a completely different scent than that of Li Qianxue. She was comforted by this. “I finally know who is truly being good to me.”

On one end, the relationship between mother and daughter had improved tremendously. On the other end, Su Chenghui was in a daze after getting in his car.

He didn’t want to believe that his daughter had any malicious intentions in her heart. However, Su Peizhen’s tone and expression made him think that way.

She wanted to own Li Corporation’s shares and come back to the Su Family. The problem was that he didn’t have a say in either of these things.

Li Qianxue insisted on divorcing him. He wanted to return to the Li Mansion but couldn’t, and how could he give Li Corporation’s shares to Su Peizhen?

Even if he could, he didn’t want to hurt Li Qianxue’s feelings again.

He felt bitter thinking about his past few phone calls with Li Qianxue because it had ended badly every single time. Li Qianxue didn’t want to say a word to him. Every time they talked, all she asked him was when he would sign the divorce papers.

More importantly, no matter what he said or how many times he said it, Li Qianxue didn’t believe a word. She scolded him for being shameless and outrageous. She also blamed him for doing everything he could to avoid getting a divorce.

He wanted to be shameless for once. However, after listening to Li Qianxue’s harsh words, he couldn’t get angry with her. He was only left with feelings of heartache.

It also turned out that when he used to talk to Li Qianxue this way, this was how she had felt too.

Only by changing perspectives could one understand what the other one was feeling at that time. However, when he had figured it out and understood her feelings, Li Qianxue was no longer willing to believe him.

These days Su Chenghui was very busy. He was occupied with looking for both Su Peizhen and the company.

He knew that Li Qianxue no longer trusted him, but he was still in charge of some business matters and projects.

Even if he was getting a divorce with Li Qianxue, he still wanted to get things done properly. Even if Li Qianxue thought that he had ulterior motives, he still had to do it.

Now that he learned about Su Peizhen’s plan to go to Rong City, he thought that he should let Li Qianxue and Su Qingsang know.

He had a feeling that Su Peizhen had other intentions in mind for going to Rong City, although he did not want to think of her that way.

More importantly, he tried to contact Li Qianxue at any chance he got, even just to hear her voice.

He didn’t think that he and Li Qianxue could end up on a bad note again.

Unlike Su Chenghui, who was unwilling to think of Su Peizhen badly, Li Qianxue didn’t mind thinking of Su Chenghui with her most malicious intent.

“Peizhen is coming to Rong City? What will she be doing here?” she asked. Li Qianxue thought about the last time she had a dispute on the phone with Su Chenghui. “What now? Do you think Su Peizhen being here can stop me from divorcing you? Do you think that I am too nice?”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“I don’t care what you meant, and you don’t need to tell me if Su Peizhen is coming to Rong City or not unless she is coming here to look for trouble with Qingsang and me.”

“No,” said Su Chenghui, instinctively defending Su Peizhen. “Why would she look for trouble with you? She recognized Xiang Caiping, who used to live in Rong City. That is why she decided to bring Peizhen there. Not to look for trouble with you both.”

“In that case, there is no need to let me know.”

Although Li Qianxue also cared about Su Peizhen, she made sure not to express it in a moment like this. “She is no longer my daughter. She is your daughter. You don’t have to tell me where she goes or what she does from now on.”

“Qianxue–”

“Unless she comes to Rong City to look for trouble with Qingsang or me.”

“That’s impossible!”

“It better be,” said Li Qianxue with a cold voice. “Su Chenghui, despite everything, I have raised Su Peizhen for more than 20 years. I considered her as my own, and I gave my all to her. If she still blames Qingsang or me in her heart, all I am going to say is that she is a b*stard!”

“Qianxue, don’t say that. Peizhen has been raised by you since she was an infant. Although she is a bit spoiled and capricious, she is not a bad person on the inside. You know this.”

“I know,” Li Qianxue said. She was certainly willing to believe that Su Peizhen was not a bad person on the inside. That’s the child she had raised after all. She would not and wouldn’t want to think badly of Su Peizhen.

However, as she looked at Su Chenghui, Li Qianxue knew that she didn’t want him to get his way. “It’s like I had thought about trusting you in the past, even though you didn’t love me. At least I still got your respect and sincerity. Now it turns out that all I got was a joke. You switched my child and let her grow up bearing the reputation of an illegitimate daughter. She got ridiculed again this time because of you. Su Chenghui, how can you talk about trust with me? Do you think I will trust you any more now?”

“Qianxue–”

“Don’t use my name,” said Li Qianxue upfront. She couldn’t bear to think about anything that had happened in the past. She didn’t want to think of anything before this.

These days she was spending some quality time with her daughter and had some nice walks with her old man. She had started to feel a lot more cheerful.

Lamentably, Su Chenghui decided to make a phone call or to appear in front of her from time to time. It made her feel like she had been eyed by a disgusting fly.

“Su Chenghui, since you switched Qingsang with Peizhen and made Qingsang carry the name of an illegitimate daughter, I have nothing to say to you. The only thing I ask from you right now is to please sign the divorce papers.”

“Qianxue, I...”

“If you still have even a bit of conscientiousness left, then don’t think about how you can gain any more benefits from this marriage. It’s not going to happen.”

“I wasn’t thinking about that, Qianxue. As I said, I don’t want a divorce because now I’ve realized that you are the one who matters the most to me.”

“Su Chenghui, before I become completely repulsed by you, please throw away your fake words because it makes me want to vomit. If you sincerely mean what you say, that I am the person who matters to you most, then the only thing I am asking you is to please sign the divorce papers. I will consider this as your last bit of kindness to me.”

Li Qianxue received Su Chenghui’s call when she arrived at Huo Mansion with Old Master Li.

She didn’t want the old man to be worried, so she took the phone call on the other side of the mansion. She stood at the corner of the courtyard outside of the Huo Mansion.

She had double-checked to make sure that no one was there, but when she hung up the phone, she found Liu Tongjia standing right there.

Li Qianxue didn’t know how long she listened, or how much she had heard. She felt embarrassed and uncomfortable when she saw Liu Tongjia’s belittling smile.

She wanted to turn around and casually leave the scene, but Liu Tongjia walked towards her in quick steps.

She tilted her face and stared at Li Qianxue. “Switched children? Divorce?”

Li Qianxue had her most distressing matters overheard by someone, so she felt very uncomfortable. Moreover, this woman happened to be Liu Tongjia, the person who had not gotten along with her since the beginning.

“Eavesdropping on people is not an honorable act!”

“Eavesdropping?” Liu Tongjia looked at Li Qianxue as if looking at a comedian. “Would you like for me to remind you that the land you are standing on belongs to us, the Huo Family?”

How dare Li Qianxue accuse her of eavesdropping while she stood on the Huo family’s ground?

“If I remember correctly, I didn’t step onto your yard.”

“No, you did not.” Liu Tongjia didn’t want to fight with Li Qianxue about this. She laughed grimly and mockingly said, “How can you blame others for eavesdropping while talking about this in an open street?”

There were not many things in life that could make Li Qianxue feel embarrassed, but this counted as one of them.

More importantly, the person who had overheard it was Liu Tongjia. She knew too well that this woman already had some opinions about Su Qingsang. She would probably say something mean this time.

Forcing herself to act as if nothing had happened, Li Qianxue tried to look calm. “Sorry, it’s time to meet with Old Master Huo. I have to leave now.”

“Leaving in such a hurry?” Liu Tongjia asked. She was glad that she had wanted to get out of the car to take a walk because otherwise, she could not have heard such an interesting story.

“You said that Su Qingsang’s father switched her identity?”

“You heard it wrong,” Li Qianxue said calmly.

“Heard it wrong?” The smile on Liu Tongjia’s lips became brighter. “My hearing ability is very good. No wonder I asked myself how an illegitimate lady had suddenly become someone’s precious daughter, but it finally turns out that there is a whole story behind it.”

Li Qianxue knew that if the Huo Family learned about this matter, it could put them at a disadvantage.

Pedigree mattered the most to the upper-class families. No matter how disgraceful things got, they dealt with it behind closed doors. No one would ever put these things out in public—especially issues like illegitimacy.

It was intolerable in any family to have switched an illegitimate daughter’s status to their real daughter or vice versa.

She hated Su Chenghui even more, thinking about this.

Li Qianxue didn’t express anything, no matter what was going on in her mind. “Yes. Since Qingsang is my biological daughter, what you accused us of before does not stand. We did not claim an illegitimate daughter for the sake of money or to climb up a higher status in the Huo family. Are you relieved now?”

“Relieved? How can I be relieved?” Liu Tongjia asked, squinting her eyes. She remembered very well Li Qianxue’s previous mockeries. “Should I be relieved that your family has such a fine tradition? Or the fact that you guys were so lost that you couldn’t even keep an eye on your children? Or the fact that your newly recognized daughter has a father like this? Who knows? Maybe she will do something even more outrageous herself. For example, committing premeditated marriage fraud?”
