Chapter 443: Chapter 443 - I Dont Think We Can Hide It Anymore

Mr. Chen was the exclusive lawyer for the Li Group. It never occurred to him that one day he would receive such a request from his employer.

“Ms. Li, are you serious about this?”

“Of course.” Li Qianxue looked determined. However, if she hadn’t had the whole night to ponder over this, she wouldn’t look as calm as she did now.

Su Chenghui had been married to her for many years, so he had quite a lot of property in his own name.

Li Qianxue didn’t care about the property that was supposed to belong to him, but as to the property that belonged to the Li Group, she could consider giving some of it to Su Chenghui.

Su Chenghui owned 20 percent of the company’s stocks. These were supposed to be his.

Though Li Qianxue was angry with him, she had no intention to repurchase these stocks. However, she had one condition...

“Su Chenghui has no right to transfer or sell his stocks of the Li Group. If he insists on doing that, he can only transfer or sell to me, Su Qingsang, or Su Yuxin.”

Li Qianxue came up with this condition because she didn’t want Su Chenghui to have an opportunity to give the stocks to Su Peizhen in the future.

She had raised Su Peizhen for over twenty years; she would continue treating her well.

However, Su Peizhen would have no part or share in the Li Group’s stocks. These didn’t belong to her now and wouldn’t in the future.

The rest of the issues were comparatively insignificant. Li Qianxue described it all in great detail.

Su Qingsang overheard their conversation. She felt that although Su Chenghui was going to be divorced, as long as he didn’t cause trouble, his life wouldn’t be bad.

She looked up at Li Qianxue and thought that even though Su Chenghui did many awful things, Li Qianxue still treated him with consideration.

Li Qianxue didn’t think about how her daughter and son would feel, however. Her focus was currently on the divorce.

After she talked about what she would give to Su Chenghui, Li Qianxue added: “Please send it to him today, so tomorrow when the Bureau of Civil Affairs is open, we can go and finalize the divorce.”

She couldn’t wait for it.

“Alright.”

Mr. Chen hesitated, but he stood up, closed his laptop, and said, “Do you know where Mr. Su is right now?”

“You can just call him.” Li Qianxue no longer cared about Su Chenghui.

From her perspective, Su Chenghui had become irrelevant. It didn’t matter to her whether he lived or died.

While Mr. Chen was walking out, Huo Jinyao came in.

“Huo Jinyao, why are you here?”

Su Qingsang walked up to him. She thought he had gone back to Rong City.

“My flight is in the afternoon.” When Huo Jinyao spoke, he took a look at Su Qingsang, his eyes full of hidden meaning.

“In the afternoon? When?”

“Around three.” Huo Jinyao thought of the lie he told Xiang Caiping yesterday.

Xiang Caiping didn’t suspect, but when she didn’t see Su Qingsang this morning, she was worried.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She kept asking Huo Jinyao why Su Qingsang hadn’t come back yet.

“I don’t think we can hide it anymore,” Huo Jinyao said softly. “I’ll try to take her on the plane this afternoon, but I can’t guarantee I could make her believe me.”

After all, Xiang Caiping had fended for herself for many years. She was perceptive.

“Unless you come back to Rong City with me, I won’t be able to assuage her doubts.”

Su Qingsang looked torn. She turned to see that Li Qianxue and Su Yuxin were behind her, listening to their conversation.

“How about you go back first?”

Su Qingsang thought about it for a while and said:

“Please send her to my apartment first and let Yu take care of her. I’ll go back at night to explain it to her.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Su Qingsang had thought about it. Whatever plans she had, there was no way for her to keep the secret forever.

Now Li Qianxue was walking on eggshells around her, which made her feel bad. After careful consideration, she decided to be honest with Xiang Caiping.

Since she was bound to let one side down, she had to make a choice.

Huo Jinyao saw it clearly. Behind Su Qingsang, Li Qianxue and Su Yuxin seemed relieved after hearing her words.

“Do you want me to go with you?” Huo Jinyao was more or less concerned.

“No need to,” Su Qingsang shook her head. “I have delayed you for too long. You should go back to Rong City this afternoon and send my regards to Grandpa. Please apologize to him for my absence during the festival.”

“No problem. I told you that Grandpa would not blame you.”

Huo Jinyao ruffled her hair with affection.

Su Qingsang was unsure whether Old Master Huo would blame her or not, but she did have to deal with the business in Lin City right now. After that, she could go to Rong City.

Huo Jinyao didn’t leave until he had lunch at the Su Mansion. He called Yang Wenchang before he left, and told him to prepare for Xiang Caiping’s departure.

Huo Jinyao went to the airport by himself. Su Qingsang said she would see him off, but he refused to let her.

Huo Jinyao knew it would not be easy for her to have this conversation with Xiang Caiping.

Watching Huo Jinyao leave, Su Qingsang suddenly felt gloomier.

Telling Xiang Caiping about the incident of her and Su Peizhen having been switched many years ago would be heart-wrenching.

On this occasion, Su Chenghui should be the right person to tell Xiang Caiping the truth. He was afraid to face Xiang Caiping, though.

...

Su Chenghui sat at his office the whole night. He didn’t even try to sleep or rest.

Su Chenghui suddenly found he had nowhere to go since he left the family mansion yesterday; he had more than one house in Lin City, though.

However, all those houses are empty, and nobody lived there.

For the whole night, he just sat in a daze.

He had no idea where he could go or who he could talk to.

There were so many contacts in his phone, but there was no one he could turn to for help at this moment. It was his own problem, and nobody could resolve it.

The phone rang. Su Chenghui picked it up, suddenly coming back to his senses.

He thought it was Li Qianxue or someone else from the Su Family. However, it was Mr. Chen on the other side of the line.

Mr. Chen asked him where he was, and after hearing he was in the office, the lawyer asked him to wait for a few minutes. Mr. Chen said he would be there soon.

Su Chenghui hung up the phone. He didn’t know what Mr. Chen wanted with him at the moment.

Something occurred to him. Though it was a possibility, Su Chenghui refused to think of it or face it.

However, no matter how much he tried to stick his head in the sand, he knew it would happen one day. Mr. Chen came in, sat down opposite Su Chenghui, and pulled the divorce papers out of his briefcase.

“Mr. Su, I’m sorry. I came here on behalf of Ms. Li to deliver the divorce settlement to you. Do you want to take a look?”

“The divorce settlement?” Su Chenghui felt someone had punched him hard in the solar plexus.

Li Qianxue meant it this time. She was going to divorce him, and it looked like she couldn’t wait.
