Chapter 275: It Was True

Huo Jinyao had checked out Xiang Caiping’s claims last night. The results had arrived in his mailbox before morning.

Su Qingsang was surprised at Huo Jinyao’s quick action. “We can be sure of it without a DNA test?”

“I think so.”

Huo Jinyao thought about the information from his investigation and said, “She and your father were childhood sweethearts.”

“Then why-” If they were doing good, why didn’t they get married?

“Because of Li Qianxue.” Huo Jinyao slightly knitted his eyebrows when he spoke of Li Qianxue and recalled the information he had seen.

It was no secret. Anyone who had been in Lin City for long could find out by making some inquiries.

Li Qianxue was the only daughter of Old Master Li, whose wife had died of overworking just as his career was rising. He felt guilty, so he doted on Li Qianxue and never married again.

Li Qianxue was a spoiled princess, who entered her father’s company very early and became a department manager within three years. At that time, Su Chenghui had only been a small director in Li’s company.

Somehow, Li Qianxue took a fancy to Su Chenghui, who had a girlfriend, Xiang Caiping.

They were going to get married when Su Chenghui slept with Li Qianxue after a work dinner. Unluckily, they were caught on the spot by Old Master Li the next day.

How rich and powerful was the Li Family at that time compared to the Su Family? The Li Family was almost the richest in Lin City. It was so easy to deal with a powerless boy.

Su Chenghui originally wanted to fight them to the end, determined not to compromise. Li Qianxue, however, was pregnant.

Su Chenghui had no choice but to marry her. It was not until after he married Li Qianxue that he found out Xiang Caiping was also pregnant.

Xiang Caiping became the person getting in the way of their marriage. Xiang Caiping couldn’t stand the humiliation of her loving having married and had a child with someone else. She wanted to abort the child, but she was not healthy enough to bear an abortion. In desperation, she had to give birth to the fatherless child.

Considering her own condition, and that of Su Chenghui, Xiang Caiping decided to give the child to Su Chenghui, and let him raise her.

She herself…

“Your mother was not bad, either,” said Huo Jinyao.

Bullied by the rich Li Family, Xiang Caiping sold the house her parents had given her in a fit of pique and went north to do business. That helped her make something out of herself. She owned chain supermarkets in several cities in the North.

Still, she was a woman. No matter how good her business was, she would be lonely without a husband and her daughter.

When she was out on business a few years ago, she fell over. She had already suffered a lot running about and this fall cost her nearly half a year to recover from. Since then, she had left the business to other people.

She lived a secluded life and hired a cleaning lady to take care of her. She didn’t go out much, but would occasionally go to see how the business was going.

“I think, maybe she came to you because she wanted to, without an ulterior motive.”

Su Qingsang didn’t speak. She had no memory of Xiang Caiping, nor any special feeling towards her.
