Li Qianxue looked at Wei Ting. She could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
âNo need. I donât need you to worry about me and him. If you have nothing to do, please go ahead.â
âTsk, Qianxue, youâre not planning to give that unfaithful man a chance, are you?â
If that was the case, Wei Ting would really vomit to death. Just think about Su Chenghui, an âod man.â Even if he looked younger than his peers, how could he be as young and energetic as him?
Not to mention other things, he was also more handsome than Su Chenghui, right? Wei Ting thought rather immodestly.
âDoes it have anything to do with you?â Li Qianxue looked at Wei Ting. With such a suitor who was more than ten years younger than her, who didnât know how to take a hint and didnât know when to retreat, she really a headache. âDonât make trouble here. Letâs go.â
âQianxue.â Wei Ting wasnât a thin-skinned person. He put half of his body on the table and looked at Li Qianxue. His eyes were bright. âGood sister, just give me a chance. You see, you donât like him and donât plan to give him a chance, right? Then isnât it good to use me to anger him?â
âWei Ting, arenât you too bored?â It was the first time Li Qianxue met such a slick person. She didnât even have a chance to fire back him. âDo I need you to anger him?â
âThatâs not how it is. I can do twice the work with half the effort.âAs Wei Ting spoke, he turned around to open the door.
Li Qianxue didnât have time to stop him. Su Chenghui and Yang Rong appeared in front of her just like that.
Su Chenghui really came to look for Li Qianxue today, but he didnât expect to see Wei Ting in Li Qianxueâs office.
Li Qianxueâs suitor was a younger and more vigorous man than him. His expression became a little ugly.
He knew that he had no position in Li Qianxueâs heart, but he refused to give up now. He was determined to make a last struggle. He really knew what he wanted.
But even if he knew, he knew that all his efforts were futile. Just like the past year or so, he had been working hard.
But no matter how hard he tried, Li Qianxueâs heart was as hard as a knife, and she always refused to give him a chance.
But Wei Ting was different. He was young and energetic. It seemed that he didnât mind that Li Qianxue got married, and was even a grandmother.
In this way, Su Chenghuiâs sense of alarm was very strong. Even if he knew clearly that even without Wei Ting, Li Qianxue might not forgive him.
But with such a person around, the difficulty would undoubtedly increase.
âPresident Li, President Su said he has something ââ
Yang Rong stood at the back. In this situation, he didnât know whether or not he should stop him or how to.
âYou go out first.â After saying that, Li Qianxue looked at Wei Ting, but he didnât answer. Instead, he walked in front of Su Chenghui.
âTsk, I must say, arenât you guys divorced? Why are you so shameless? Canât you tell that Qianxue doesnât want to see you?â
Su Chenghui was getting older. Although he wasnât as sharp as Wei Ting, his aura wasnât inferior to others.
âEn, she doesnât want to see me. Could it be that she wants to see you?â
â...â Wei Ting choked. He almost choked on his own saliva. âSu Chenghui, you ââ
âDid I say something wrong?â
There was no more to say. Just these words were enough to make Wei Ting flustered and exasperated. He, wanting her to stand up for him, couldnât help but turn around to look at Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue had a headache. How could she have the time to pay attention to him?
âStop fooling around.â
Wei Ting wasnât really immature. When Li Qianxue looked at him like she was looking at a child, he didnât feel good at all.
The way he looked at Li Qianxue was full of grievance. In fact, he wasnât young anymore. He was more than 30 years old, but Li Qianxue was older than him.
For some reason, she felt like an elder. Seeing him like this, she couldnât bear it.
âForget it, you go back first. Iâll look for you next time, okay?â
When Wei Ting heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. âYou said it? Then letâs have dinner together?â
âNo, I have an social engagement tonight. Letâs do it tomorrow.â
His face unable to conceal his joy, Wei Ting nodded. âOkay, you said it. Iâll come and pick you up tomorrow.â
He threw this sentence and glanced at Su Chenghui like a victor before leaving.
Yang Rong stood at the door and closed it after he left. He thought to himself that the bossâs charm really wasnât small. Not only did she make her ex-husband reluctant to let heer go, but she also mesmerized this new upstart of Lin City, President Wei.
Su Chenghuiâs facial expression didnât look good, especially when Wei Ting gave him a provocative look when he left. It made him even more uncomfortable.
And Li Qianxue actually agreed to go on a date with Wei Ting. Although he couldnât control it, he still felt as if his possesion was going to be snatched away.
Even if Li Qianxue was no longer his. He couldnât control it.
âWei Ting isnât a good match. You should stay away from him.â
As soon as he said those words with a slightly lecturing tone, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. Sure enough, Li Qianxue, who was sitting behind the desk, raised her head at this time with a cold and mocking look in her eyes.
âHe isnât a good match, then you are?â
Su Chenghui was at a loss for words. Looking at the beautiful face that hadnât aged much with time, he felt his teeth ache.
âHe is so much younger than you. He doesnât look reliable and level headed. If you really want to find someone, choose someone who looks more honest.â
In any case, he didnât like this Wei Ting. No, it should be said that he didnât like any man who was close to Li Qianxue.
âYou were honest, but what happened in the end?â
Back then, when she was with Su Chenghui, Old Master Li had never objected. After all, Su Chenghui looked very honest and reliable back then.
But how did Su Chenghui repay him?
Su Chenghui was at a loss for words. He couldnât go on after saying this.
His face was a little gloomy. He took a few steps forward and looked at Li Qianxue with a flash of regret in his eyes.
In fact, this feeling of regret came to his mind from time to time after he knew that he had fallen in love with Li Qianxue.
The longer it took, the more uncomfortable he felt.
âQianxue, I already know my mistake. Can you give me a chance?â
Seeing the pain on his face, Li Qianxue looked up at him. She only felt happy. âYes, you know your mistake. Murderers also know their mistake after they are in prison, but is it useful? The person is already dead.â
Su Chenghuiâs face turned pale. He had nothing to say in response to Li Qianxueâs words. Li Qianxue felt bored. This was really boring.
In the past, Su Chenghui could casually say something that made her feel uncomfortable and heartbroken. Now that the roles were reversed, she didnât have much of a sense of accomplishment.
If she was happy and gleeful, it could only prove that she still cared about this man. Since she didnât care anymore, why did she have to say more?
âIf you have something to say to me, just say it. I still have a meeting later.â
Her impatient tone made Su Chenghui depressed. She was really getting more and more impatient with him now.
âIâm here for the latest project of the Li Corporation.â
Su Chenghui was serious. When he talked about business, he was always very serious. âIâve received accurate news. The North District isnât planned to be a business area. If the Li Corporation decides to build a residential building there, itâs already not suitable.â
Li Qianxue leaned against the back of her chair gently. She raised her head and looked at Su Chenghui.
âYou came because of this?â
âYes.âSu Chenghui nodded. âThe vacant land in the North District was auctioned off last week. The other party wants to build a factory there. If you build a residential building at this time, it is very inappropriate.â
âSu Chenghui.â Li Qianxue didnât look nervous. âIâve already asked about the planning. The result was similar to yours. However, I have an appointment with Mayor Li tonight. So, I thank you for your kindness.â
Li Junsheng was Huo Jinyaoâs childhood friend. He would still give face to the Li family.
Besides, it was just a piece of land. The Li Corporation had auctioned off a lot of land. This project only had a suitable plan. If there wasnât one, it wasnât impossible to change it to something else.
Su Chenghui looked at the confidence and certainty in Li Qianxueâs eyes, and his heart trembled slightly.
Whether it was more than 20 years ago or now, Li Qianxueâs appearance was extremely eye-catching.
She emitted radiance. Her charm had nothing to do with her age, but it was the confidence that radiated from within.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he have forgotten? She was Li Qianxue, not an ordinary woman.
The Li Corporation had come this far thanks to her, so how could she not have a way to deal with it?
âIâm not trying to meddle in your business.â Su Chenghuiâs expression was a little bitter. âIâm just worried about you.â
Su Chenghui had always been cold in front of Li Qianxue. It was already polite to say that he was cold. He had always been cold to her to the point that it made oneâs hair stand on end.
In front of her, he used such a tone to express his concern for her. Even though he had done this kind of thing many times over the past year, Li Qianxueâs mood could not help but become a little strange.
His face was still as elegant and refined as ever. Age also treated him extremely well. He didnât have the stench of a businessman on him. Instead, he looked like a scholar.
If he wore a pair of glasses and stood in the university lecture hall, people would believe that he was a professor. Half of the reason why she was fascinated by him back then was because he had a good appearance?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Realizing that her thoughts were developing in an uncontrollable direction, Li Qianxueâs face didnât look good.
âWeâre already divorced. If youâre done, leave.â
She didnât give him a chance at all. Su Chenghui looked at her for a long time. She just lowered her head to read the documents and ignored him.
He couldnât help it. He walked around the huge desk to her and turned her chair around.
âQianxue.â
Li Qianxue leaned against the back of the chair and looked at him expressionlessly.
âQianxue.â Before the divorce, he rarely called her by her name. Most of the time, he just called her âyouâ.
After the divorce, her name became a thorn in his heart. Every time he called her name, the pain became worse.
âI really regret it.â He held her hand. Her hand was slender, and he wrapped her hand in his palm.
His palm was much hotter than hers. He wrapped her hand tightly and looked down at her. âQianxue, Letâs start over, shall we?â
He had already said the words âsorryâ. If she didnât want to hear it, he would say something else.
He had originally wanted to give her time to slowly calm down and calm down until the damage was gone. However, Wei Tingâs appearance today gave him a huge sense of crisis.
Let alone Wei Ting, any random man would be more competitive than him.
Because they had never hurt her, and he was the one who hurt her the most.
âQianxue...â
Li Qianxue was silent. She just looked at him. The office was very quiet, so quiet that it was almost strange.
âSu Chenghui.â After stopping for almost a minute, she finally spoke.
âWhen Su Peizhen was one year old, she just learned to walk. Of course, at that time, I didnât know that she wasnât my daughter. I was very happy. I watched her walk towards you with her small feet, and you were also very happy. I saw you hugging her, and I watched you kiss her face. At that time, your face revealed a very loving smile.
At that time, I thought, even if you donât love me, your love for your daughter was real. So when I returned to my room, I asked you, can you forget that unpleasant beginning and let us live a good life?â
âDo you still remember how you answered me?â
Su Chenghui knew that if he opened his mouth, he definitely wouldnât say anything good. However, the feeling that she was pinching his weak spot when she opened her mouth made his heart tighten.
âYou said that Iâm not worthy, you said ââ
Li Qianxueâs face didnât look good either. In fact, the conversation after that was really too unpleasant. She really didnât want to recall it.
âSu Chenghui, after so many years, those hurtful words you said to me and the things you did to me are like nails on a wooden stake. Even if you remove those nails now, there will still be scars on the wooden stake, just like my heart. If you come to apologize after you hurt me, my heart will already have scars that canât be erased.â
âYou can pretend that nothing happened. You can forget about it. You can casually say that you want to start over, but I canât.â
âSu Chenghui, youâve been flashing in front of my eyes for more than a year. Do you know how much I hate you? Every time you appear, you remind me of how many wounds I have and how painful it is.â
âQianxue...â Su Chenghui didnât know what to say. His calm and rational mind, which had been in the business for a long time, was completely useless at this moment. âIâm sorry, I didnât mean it. I just canât let go.â
âSu Chenghui, you said you donât want to let go. Then tell me, how can I forgive you?â
Her hand was still wrapped by him. She held his hand with a backhand, she placed it on her heart. âHere, even if the blood is no longer flowing, the inside is already riddled with holes. Su Chenghui, tell me, how can I use such a broken heart to forgive you?â
Under her palm was her soft heart. Under her skin, her heart was beating again and again. He felt her heartbeat and also felt the coldness in her words.
His hand stopped there and he didnât even dare to use force.
Li Qianxue didnât want to say anymore. She wanted to twist his hand away, but he suddenly reached out and hugged her.
He hugged her very tightly and forcefully. Because she was sitting and he was bending down, he buried his face into her neck with this hug.
Li Qianxue frowned and her face was a little gloomy. However, at this moment, she felt the warmth on her neck and she was stunned. She didnât move for a moment.
There was a faint smell of roses on her body. However, in front of her, Su Chenghui had no romantic thoughts at all.
âQianxue, I donât need you to forgive me.â What he had done was indeed not worthy of forgiveness.
âYou just need to agree to let me guard you, is that okay?â
âIf you think your heart is dead, I can give you my heart.â
âOkay?â
He raised his head to look at her. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a deep pleading in them.
Li Qianxue gently pushed his body away, and then increasing the distance between the two of them, she stepped back.
âLast month, Qingsangâs child was one month old. Xiang Caiping gave them a gift.â
This sudden change of topic made Su Chenghui not understand what she meant. Li Qianxue thought of the two sweaters that she had accidentally seen. She felt a toothache and a little jealous.
âThatâs my daughter, my granddaughter. But she came to give gifts as if she was a grandmother.â
âXiang Caiping, she...â
âI know, sheâs very good to Qingsang. Qingsang is very affectionate. She always remembers the good things that others have done for her. But the more she remembers, the more uncomfortable I feel. Do you know why?â
âBecause all of this didnât have to be like this. I could have taken care of my daughter by myself. I could have treated her well by myself. But because of you, because of your selfishness and cruelty, others beat me to it. âXiang Caiping beat me to it and gained a good impression in front of my daughter.â
People were like that. They were vulnerable to perconceived notions. Xiang Caiping appeared in front of Su Qingsang first. Even if Su Qingsang didnât have any mother-daughter relationship with her, she had developed a mother-daughter relationship with her.
This was what she hated the most.
She didnât need to say anything else. Su Chenghui understood everything. She didnât want to say anything else. She turned around and picked up the document again. She looked like she refused to talk anymore.
Su Chenghui looked at the side of her face. He raised his hand a few times to touch her, but in the end, he lowered his head, turned around, and left weakly.
The office was quiet again. Li Qianxue could no longer look at the documents in front of her.
She chased Su Chenghui away, but she didnât have much joy in her heart. Every time she fought with Su Chenghui, it was actually hurting the enemy and hurting herself.
Her hurtful words could hurt Su Chenghui, but at the same time, it also made her constantly recall the past.
She shook her head. Now, she only hoped that she and Su Chenghui would try not to see each other. After all, every time she saw him, her mood really didnât get better.
Li Qianxue was still thinking of not seeing Su Chenghui in the future when that night, when she met with Li Junsheng, she saw him again.
When she saw Su Chenghui sitting next to Li Junsheng, Li Qianxueâs expression was a little bad.
She instinctively wanted to leave, but Li Junsheng had already stood up.
âAuntie.â Although Li Junsheng was the mayor of a city, he was standing in front of Huo Jinyaoâs parents-in-law. It wasnât appropriate for him to be arrogant in front of these two people.
âMayor Li, youâre too kind.â Li Qianxue entered the door. She still had to be polite.
âUncle happened to have some ideas about the project at the north side of the city, so I invited him along. Do you ,ind?â
Now, she was here, and apart from Li Junsheng, President Chen of Urban Construction, and Secretary Li of the Secretary office were also here, so how could she say that she minded?
âOf course I donât mind.â
She said that she didnât mind, but she unceremoniously shot daggers at Su Chenghui.
