Chapter 347: How Dare She?

She had always thought of herself as a precious daughter of heaven. Since a young age, she had always been doted on by Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue. Her life had been smooth sailing, except that she had occasionally found Su Qingsang to be a thorn in the flesh.

The problem was that she kept getting into trouble lately because of Su Qingsang. She had even gotten a tight slap, and it was Su Qingsang’s mother who had slapped her! It was the home-wrecker who stood between her mother, Li Qianxue, and her father, Su Chenghui!

How could Su Peizhen stomach this? Xiang Caiping had even blabbered nonsense and called Li Qianxue the home-wrecker. That had shocked her even more.

How dare she?

“Ah…:”

She had lost her cool-headed arrogance. The poise and grace that Li Qianxue had so painstakingly instilled in her had gone missing. She only felt hatred. Utmost hatred.

“Peizhen? Are you okay?” said Qiu Junjiao as they looked at her. They were all worried about her.

Su Peizhen was still trying to catch her breath. Her face was cold. She didn’t hear her sisters at all.

“Peizhen?” Qiu Junjiao called out worriedly again. Xiang Caiping had really gone overboard and actually hit her!

“I am okay,” said Su Peizhen. Those three words almost felt like they had leaked out through the gaps of her teeth. The other girls looked at each other helplessly. They could sense the worry in each other’s eyes.

“Peizhen! Your face…shall we go home to get some medicine?”

Su Peizhen didn’t say no. She kept trying to adjust her breathing when finally, she nodded coldly.

Qiu Junjiao and the rest followed her back to her room. Su Peizhen’s hands remained tightly clasped together. Her eyes had never looked more somber.

…

On the other side, Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping had remained silent until they got to the car. Yume, their escort, saw that both of them looked unhappy and was wise not to ask them about anything.

Su Qingsang sighed lightly as she looked at Xiang Caiping’s gloomy face. “Mom, actually, you don’t have to do this.” She had spoken in Lin City’s dialect because Yume was around. Xiang Caiping couldn’t speak. She only kept her head lowered.

Her hand was clasped in a fist as it rested on her knee. Her other hand was tightly pressing down on her chest. Su Qingsang knew that she was trying to control her emotions.

She wanted to console her. She just didn’t know how to begin. Finally, she gently placed her hand over her shoulders and said, “Mom, I am okay now. It’s true. Everything is over now. Everything has been over for a long time.”

Xiang Caiping remained silent. Su Qingsang saw tears dripping down as she kept her head lowered.

She felt helpless and sad. She felt moved as well. “Actually, dad was not as bad as she had described.” Su Qingsang knew that her explanation was weak. She still just wanted to try to make her feel better.

“At least I was never cold or hungry all those years. I cannot ask for anything more. I am way more fortunate than kids from ordinary families.”

Xiang Caiping still remained silent. She couldn’t speak. She was worried that she would cry out if she started to speak.

Su Qingsang blinked. Then, she decided to talk to her about some light-hearted stuff. “Mom, look. We are going out now. How can we enjoy ourselves if you keep looking like this?”

Xiang Caiping waved her hands. She needed some time to calm herself down.

Su Qingsang knew that it would be useless to try to persuade her. She only hugged her tightly as she rested her face on her shoulders. “Mom, I am really okay. I am good. Really good.”

She had never thought that she had a miserable life. She had a positive attitude. She felt that she was much better off in comparison to orphans.
