To My Dear Mr. Huo-Novel2

Chapter 635: Did She Forgive Him

To Su Qingsang, whether it was marrying Huo Jinyao or getting to know Xiang Caiping, she didn’t consider herself to be someone of their class.

After all, In her eyes, Huo Jinyao’s identity was just a low level employee at the beginning. After getting married, he was so good to her that she didn’t even consider him a hotshot CEO.

Although Xiang Caiping had her own business in Rong City, she was still far from upper class. It was always easier and more relaxing to get along with people of the same social class.

“Wife.”

Huo Jinyao didn’t say anything. He reached out and hugged Su Qingsang. Then, he looked at the call log on Su Qingsang’s back and gently hung up the call.

Su Qingsang didn’t realize it at all. She simply leaned against Huo Jinyao’s chest and said, “Do you think that I’m too willful?”

“No.”

His wife was always right no matter what she did. She could do whatever she wanted.

Su Qingsang smiled and rubbed against his chest. She was satisfied that he always gave in to her unconditionally.

However, there were some things that needed to be resolved. After some thought, she said, “I’ll send Auntie off tomorrow. Then, I’ll call my Mom and ask her to come over to celebrate the mid-autumn festival with me. Do you think my mom would be willing to?”

“Yes, of course.”

Su Qingsang sighed softly. historical

“What else can we do for Auntie?”

“Nothing.” Huo Jinyao believed that she would understand. “Auntie isn’t a weak person. She doesn’t need our sympathy or pity.”

“I hope that Su Peizhen will take good care of Auntie when she gets out. I think that’s what she hopes the most.”

..

When Xiang Caiping took the moon cakes out of the oven, Su Qingsang happened to be standing at the kitchen door.

Her luggage was already packed and placed in the living room outside. She had known about it since yesterday. However, when she suddenly saw the luggage, Su Qingsang still felt a little anguished.

She also felt that she was not only willful, but also a bit of a hoodlum. When she needed someone, she would call them over. If she didn’t need them anymore, she would kick them out.

“You’re up?”

Xiang Caiping placed the moon cakes on the counter and looked at Su Qingsang with a faint smile on her face.

“Auntie?”

Su Qingsang looked ashamed. Xiang Caiping knew what she was going to say. She instructed Auntie Yu to put the moon cakes away.

They had just been baked and could only be put away after they got cold. After that, she washed her hands and walked up to Su Qingsang.

“Don’t say anything. I know everything.”

“Auntie.” Su Qingsang lowered her head. The more Xiang Caiping acted like this, the more anguished she felt.

“I’m leaving.” Xiang Caiping glanced at the house in front of her. “You’re not alone right now, be it in the hospital or at home, you have to be more careful. It’s still early in the month, but it would be inconvenient for you to move around after the babies grow older. You’re a doctor yourself. If there’s anything, you know better than me. I won’t say anything further.”

Su Qingsang felt a little ansguihed. Her throat felt as if it was choked.

“Auntie –”

“Don’t cry. Crying isn’t good for pregnant women.”

Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang’s abdomen. “It might not be convenient for me to come see you after the baby is born. Just give me a call and tell me that it’s done.”

Su Qingsang was speechless and could only nod her head heavily.

Xiang Caiping went to carry her luggage while Su Qingsang followed behind her. “Auntie, let me give you a ride.”

“No need. I’ve called a cab.” Xiang Caiping smiled. “I still have to thank you. I know how to call a cab now.”

Su Qingsang couldn’t smile. When Xiang Caiping lived here, she had indeed taught her how to use some commonly used software.

She insisted on sending Xiang Caiping out of the door. When she waited for the elevator, Xiang Caiping looked at her with a complicated expression.

“Oh right. There’s something I think I need to tell you.”

“What?”

“Your mother came that day.”

Su Qingsang was stunned. Li Qianxue came?

“She knows that I’ve lived here for more than a month.”

Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang’s stunned expression and reached out to pat her shoulder. “She’s not very happy. I’m not saying this to sow discord. I just want to tell you that maybe you need to apologize to her.”

Even after Xiang Caiping left, Su Qingsang was still a little dizzy. She had planned to call Li Qianxue after Xiang Caiping left, but now she felt a little timid.

Li Qianxue knew that Xiang Caiping was here, so she should be angry, right?

..

Li Qianxue didn’t sleep well last night. When she woke up in the morning, she wasn’t in good spirits.

Her forehead hurt, and she felt that she had a cold.

“Qianxue? Are you awake?”

Su Chenghui’s voice was heard outside. Li Qianxue didn’t want to move, nor did she want to get up.

“Qianxue? Are you okay?”

Su Chenghui was a little worried, so he asked a few more questions. Completely ignoring him, Li Qianxue rolled over and pulled up the blanket to cover her head.

Since she didn’t make a sound, Su Chenghui was even more worried. He kept knocking on the door.

Li Qianxue felt helpless. She had a headache from the knocking, so she had to get up and open the door.

“Su Chenghui, I’m very tired and can’t be bothered to change hotels. It doesn’t mean that I accept you harassing me like this.”

“You don’t look well.” As if he didn’t see the disgust in her eyes, Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue’s face. He took a step forward and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m very well. If you don’t disturb me, I’ll be better.” In fact, she just didn’t have a good rest, but what did this have to do with Su Chenghui?

“You really don’t look well.” Su Chenghui raised his hand to touch her forehead. Li Qianxue avoided him and took a big step back.

“Don’t touch me.”

Su Chenghui’s hand was raised in the air. Because of Li Qianxue’s action, his face showed a hurt expression.

Li Qianxue didn’t care about his feelings at all. She wasn’t feeling well now, and she had a headache from not sleeping well. Since she had retreated too quickly, she almost tripped.

“Qianxue?” Su Chenghui quickly reached out to support her.

Li Qianxue wanted to retreat, but her body was a little weak. She was forced to snuggle in Su Chenghui’s arms. Her eyes full of coldness, she glared at him.

“Su Chenghui. Let go of me.”

“No.” Su Chenghui had a habit of working out. For so many years, he had maintained a good figure. Upon seeing Li Qianxue like this, he reached out and easily picked her up.

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue was anxious. Su Chenghui carried her and put her on the bed. When she was about to get up, he pressed her shoulder.

“Tell me what you want to do. You need to rest now.”

“You don’t need to care about my business.”

Su Chenghui looked at her stubborn expression. He didn’t know starting when, but this woman was no longer willing to show any weakness in front of him.

She was like a hedgehog, wrapping herself tightly with thorns.

“But what should I do? I want to care about your business.”

He reached out to stroke her forehead. When he met her pale face, his eyes flashed with heartache.

“I want to participate in every thing that you do from now on, every day of your life.”

“Heh.” Li Qianxue sneered and slapped his hand away without any courtesy. Her eyes were full of derision. “Su Chenghui, is it that the nightmare that you gave me over the past twenty years isn’t enough, and you still want to continue in the future? Sorry, I refuse.”

Su Chenghui’s eyes darkened. There was a crestfallen expression in his eyes. Li Qianxue didn’t care. She turned away.

“Go away. I want to rest.”

“I’ll get someone to bring food up. If you want to sleep, eat something first before you sleep.”

“Su Chenghui, I think I have to remind you again. We’re divorced.”

“I know.” Su Chenghui obviously knew. “Don’t be willful. It’s not good for your health.”

“I don’t need your insincere feelings. Go away.”

“Qianxue, I’m sincere. What do I have to do for you to believe me?”

“I won’t believe you no matter what.” Li Qianxue couldn’t bear to see him acting hypocritically. “Su Chenghui, you might have forgotten about you said and what you did, but I didn’t. I said that I would never forgive you in my life, let alone believe you. Give up on that thought.”

“Qianxue?” Although he deserved it, Su Chenghui still wanted to explain.

“Get out.”

Su Chenghui wanted to say something, but he heard the doorbell ring. He glanced at Li Qianxue. Under her cold gaze, he helplessly turned to open the door.

Li Qianxue really had a headache. Thinking that she really needed to catch up on sleep, she held her forehead.

Xiang Caiping was supposed to leave today. She originally thought that after that woman left, she would look for Su Qingsang the next day.

However, after she heard the conversation between Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao yesterday, she suddenly felt that she didn’t want to go.

Ever since she acknowledged Su Qingsang, she really wanted to make it up to Su Qingsang. Therefore, no matter what Su Qingsang said, she felt that she said it was fine because she didn’t want to cause trouble for her and didn’t want to make her feel sad.

However, she neglected that it was possible that Su Qingsang really felt it was fine.

She didn’t feel that it was shameful that she didn’t learn zither, chess, calligraphy, or painting. She also didn’t feel that she didn’t receive the proper education of a rich lady nor did she feel inferior.

Even when she was an illegitimate daughter, she could adjust her emotions, so there was no reason that after becoming a wealthy heiress, she would be at a loss.

If that was the case, then she wasn’t her daughter.

Li Qianxue had unprecedented self-doubt because of Su Qingsang’s words.

She was still imagining things when she heard an extremely soft call of “Mom”.

Li Qianxue turned around. Su Qingsang was standing at the door in a sportswear and looking at her timidly.

“Why are you here?”

How did Su Qingsang know that she was here? Did she know that she had gone to look for her?

Or did she already know that she had gone to harass Xiang Caiping? What would she think?

“Mom, are you not feeling well?”

At the same time, Su Qingsang walked towards Li Qianxue quickly. Upon seeing this, Li Qianxue got up in a hurry.

“Walk slowly. It’s not like usual now.”

“Mom, are you not feeling well?” Now that she saw Li Qianxue, Su Qingsang had forgotten all the words she had thought before she came.

She reached out and touched Li Qianxue’s forehead. When she found that she didn’t have a fever, she was relieved. “Why are you so pale?”

“I’m fine. I didn’t sleep well yesterday.”

The words ” didn’t sleep well” could mean a lot of things. Su Qingsang thought of what Xiang Caiping had said earlier, and her face suddenly appeared a little conflicted.

“Mom, I’m sorry.”

The sudden apology made Li Qianxue freeze for a moment. She almost immediately understood what Su Qingsang meant. “You don’t have to say you’re sorry. You didn’t let me down.”

She was overthinking things. Her Qingsang wasn’t an ordinary girl, nor was she an ordinary person.

Her self-righteous compensation wasn’t what Qingsang wanted at all. That was her fault, not Su Qingsang’s.

“Mom, don’t say that.”

Su Qingsang didn’t realize before that her willfulness would make Li Qianxue feel anything. Now that she saw her pale face, she really blamed herself and felt guilty.

“I’m sorry.”

“Qingsang.” Li Qianxue interrupted her. She saw the self-blame in Su Qingsang’s eyes and felt very ambivalent.

“I suddenly realized that I’m not a good mother. Or rather, I won’t be a mother at all.”

“Mother...” Su Qingsang felt even worse after she said that.

“I’m telling the truth.” Li Qianxue hadn’t slept well yesterday and had been reflecting on herself.

“In the past, I wanted to train Su Peizhen to become the proper young madam of a prestigious family and make her a qualified heiress. But I forgot to teach her how to be herself.”

“I’ve acknowledged you. I wanted to treat you well, but I forgot that perhaps my kindness to you wasn’t what you needed.”

“Mom.” Su Qingsang held her hand and shook her head continuously. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

“You must have felt a lot of pressure after spending so much time with me. However, I didn’t realize it at all. Qingsang, I’ve let you down.”

“Mom.” Su Qingsang was already blaming herself. Upon hearing her say this, she felt even worse. She threw herself into Li Qianxue’s arms and hugged her tightly.

“It’s all my fault. Mom, I beg you to stop talking.”

“Okay, I’ll stop talking.” Li Qianxue gently patted Su Qingsang’s back. “Are we in a competition to say we’re sorry now?”

Su Qingsang stopped talking. Her eyes still filled with guilt, she bit her lip.

“Alright, it’s alright. Let’s not talk about it anymore, alright?”

Su Qingsang’s eyes were red. Ever since she heard from Xiang Caiping that Li Qianxue had come to Rong City, she had been feeling uneasy.

After that, she really didn’t know how to make Li Qianxue forgive her, so she called Huo Jinyao.

Huo Jinyao’s advice to her was, “Honey, you can go to her and tell her your thoughts. She’s your mother, she’ll understand you.”

Su Qingsang wasn’t sure, but she wasn’t someone who would run away.

A mistake was a mistake. She had to face her mistake.

She didn’t expect Li Qianxue to apologize to her before she could explain herself. That made her feel even worse.

“Mom. Actually, I, I didn’t mean to. I just –”

“I said let’s not talk about it anymore. Why are you still talking about it?” Li Qianxue held her hand tightly. This was her daughter. The daughter who was born after ten months of pregnancy.

At that time, she experienced many setbacks before she was born, but she accidentally missed more than twenty years.

No matter what Su Qingsang did, she would forgive her in the end. Moreover, the fault of this matter wasn’t Su Qingsang’s.

“But, I –”

“Silly daughter.” Li Qianxue patted the back of Su Qingsang’s hand. “I understand. You don’t have to explain.”

Su Qingsang looked at Li Qianxue. She suddenly said very seriously, “Mom, I promise you that I won’t hide anything from you in the future, and I won’t lie to you about anything, okay?”

“Okay.” Li Qianxue didn’t object. “I also promise you that I will respect your opinion in the future and won’t give you any pressure.”

Su Qingsang shook her head gently. “Mom, actually, I’m not afraid of you giving me pressure, but I don’t want you to carry such guilt all the time. I’m really living well. I don’t need those compensations, and I don’t need those worldly possessions. Really, we’re doing just fine.”

Su Qingsang didn’t believe in fate, but she believed in karma. If she were the real heiress of the Su family, she might not have met Huo Jinyao.

If she didn’t have the experience of being an illegitimate daughter, she wouldn’t have become the person she was now.

She was very satisfied with her life now, and she would n’t blame her own experiences over the years.

Therefore, she didn’t want Li Qianxue to keep associating those years of her life with bitter feuds, as if she owed her a lot.

“Okay. I promise you.”

Li Qianxue looked at Su Qingsang and suddenly smiled. “I suddenly realized that I really can’t compare to you.”

Perhaps because she had experienced Su Peizhen’s resentment, she reflexively thought that Su Qingsang would also have that kind of emotion. But in reality, Su Qingsang was Su Qingsang, Su Peizhen was Su Peizhen...

They were different.

“How is that possible? I can’t compare to you, Mom.” Su Qingsang relaxed and was in the mood to joke.

“Actually, I have always admired you since I was young. I think you’re a very powerful person. I have been secretly learning from you.”

Although Li Qianxue wasn’t close to her, the years they lived together had influenced her.

She was resilient and wouldn’t be defeated by external affairs.

“Really?”

“Really.” Su Qingsang nodded. “I was so excited when I found out that you were my mom.”

It was a pity that they hadn’t spent enough time together to completely remove the estrangement from those years.

But it didn’t matter. It was still not too late to slowly remove the estrangement.

“Mom, don’t stay in the hotel anymore. Come home with me, okay?”

Su Qingsang spoke carefully. She was afraid that Li Qianxue would still mind that Xiang Caiping had once stayed at home and refuse to go back, so she quickly added on.

“I’ve already asked Auntie Yu to tidy up your original room. Don’t worry, it’s all new.”

Huo Jinyao had a few guest rooms at home. Back then, she didn’t let Xiang Caiping stay in the room that Li Qianxue had stayed in before.

In fact, she knew very well that no matter how much she sympathized with Xiang Caiping and how much she wanted to take care of her, Li Qianxue’s position in her heart was unrivaled.

Li Qianxue looked at her and nodded. “Okay.”

“Then let’s go now.”

Su Qingsang stood up and glanced at Li Qianxue. “By the way, where’s your luggage, Mom? Let me help you pack.”

“I’ll do it myself.”

Li Qianxue stood up. She was a little uneasy at first, but now that she had talked things over with her daughter, she felt relaxed and her mood improved.

“I’ll help you.”

Su Qingsang wanted to help, but someone knocked on the door twice.

When she saw Su Chenghui standing at the door, Su Qingsang seemed to remember that Su Chenghui was also there.

She just wanted to explain to Li Qianxue, but now that she saw Su Chenghui, she felt baffled. She glanced at Li Qianxue.

She didn’t think of it before she came, but now, she saw that they both lived together. Could it be that Li Qianxue forgave Su Chenghui?
