Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxueâs face. The gentleness and elegance that normally showed through his face were replaced by a coldness he had never exhibited before.
âYou can just ask your dad himself what he told me.â
âI am asking YOU now. Whatâs with that attitude of yours?â Li Qianxue was furious at seeing him like this. âHow could you talk to your wife like this?â
âIâve always been like this. Didnât you already know that?â
Su Chenghui was nearly fifty years old, but he looked like he was forty because he was so well-maintained. He had an excellent reputation, both as a businessman and as a man. That a front for other people.
Li Qianxueâs chest heaved violently. Yes, she had already known. She had learned twenty-six years ago.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSu Chenghui, let me remind you that it was I who gave you everything you have now.â
âThanks for reminding me.â Su Chenghui looked indifferent. âI donât mind if you want to take it back.â
âSu Chenghui.â His indifferent tone successfully hurt Li Qianxue.
âGet out of the way.â Su Chenghui passed her and headed directly for the bathroom as if he had not noticed Li Qianxue twisted facial expression.
Li Qianxue tried hard to restrain herself, but failed. âSu Chenghui, I am telling you, I will never take it back. You canât even dream about getting a divorce. In this life, I will be Mrs. Su until I die. Youâll never, ever be with that woman.â
Su Chenghui stopped for a moment. Then, he turned around to look at Li Qianxue. âThen Iâm telling you, in this life, the title of âMrs. Suâ is all youâll get.â
Li Qianxue watched Su Chenghui walk into the bathroom, processing his words. She had already realized the truth they revealed long ago. Anger and resentment surged up in her, but so did sadness.
Who would have thought that the great Lady Li, who had once been so loved and indulged, would go on to live in such an unhappy marriage with Su Chenghui?
She had conceived Su Peizhen because she had tried to and Su Yuxin was an accident after Su Chenghui had been drunk. In addition to those two times, Su Chenghui had not even touched her. For more than twenty years, they slept in the same bed as strangers.
And all this was because of that woman. Because of herâ
That woman was not in Lin City anymore, but her daughter did annoy her from time to time.
She pondered Su Peizhenâs words and thought of that woman, who had been an obstacle between Su Chenghui and her for more than 20 yearsâ
Su Qingsang, Su Qingsang. Donât blame me if you canât behave yourself. Blame your shameless mother, who gave birth to you, but left you. The daughter should pay her motherâs debt.
...
When Su Qingsang returned home, she found that the clouds had already dispersed. She ran into the balcony excitedly and looked at the moon in a daze.
Huo Jinyao went into the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and put it in her hands.
âThank you.â It had taken an hour to get back from the Su Mansion and she was really a little thirsty.
Looking at her profile in the moonlight, Huo Jinyao put his arms around her waist. Su Qingsang did not look back. The atmosphere was so good that she did not want to break it.
âThe moon is so full tonight.â
âIs it?â Huo Jinyao looked up at the sky and said, âDoesnât it look the same every year?â
âYes. The moon is the same every year.â People change, though.
âWhat is it? Are you unhappy?â Huo Jinyao recalled that Su Qingsang had disappeared for a while when he was playing Go with Grandfather Li today. âDid someone from that family bully you tonight?â
