Chapter 517: Are You Willing to Give up Just like This?

Su Chenghui was only in his forties. He was still young and had a lot of opportunities in the future.

“Plan? What plan?” Su Chenghui asked with a bitter look. “I don’t have any yet. But I have two friends who’ve been inviting me to start a company together with them. I might do that.”

“I’m not talking about work, or what you’re gonna do in the future. You are now aware that you’re in love with mom, so, what plan do you have about that?”

“What plan can I possibly have?” asked Su Chenghui helplessly. “She hates my guts now. All I can do is to stay away from her.”

Once his voice faded, he noticed the look of disappointment in his daughter’s eyes.

“Dad,” Su Qingsang said. At that time, she wondered how Su Chenghui managed to be the president of Li Group for so many years with such low EQ.

“Are you really gonna become strangers with mom for the rest of your life?”

“What else can I possibly do? She hates me so much…”

“Didn’t you hate her twenty years ago? You hated her so much that you even switched me with Su Peizhen.”

After saying that, Su Qingsang realized that her attitude was a little defiant, so she immediately cleared her throat.

“Dad, I don’t blame you for that. I’m just trying to say that if my mom can soften your heart even after twenty years and make you fall for her, why don’t you earn her forgiveness with the time you have left?”

Su Chenghui stared straight at Su Qingsang, without being able to understand what her words meant. Was she giving him advice?

“Dad, think about it. You are just in your forties. If you’re to live a hundred years, you still have over fifty years left. Are you really willing to give up just like this? Are you willing to live the rest of your life without my mother? Do you really want to become strangers with her and never talk to her again?”

Su Qingsang’s clear eyes were filled with sincerity. Su Chenghui was almost tempted by what she was saying.

“Are you saying that…”

“If you think that my mom’s reaction today made you feel so uncomfortable that you want to give up, you might want to rethink your feelings. Do you really love her?”

“My mom spent decades being cold-shouldered, being ignored by you, but she still loved you whole-heartedly. If she could do that, why can’t you?”

“My mom spent such a long time to touch you and win your heart. You can do the same for her. Even if she decides not to forgive you until the end, at least you will know that you tried.”

That was what Su Qingsang thought. “Don’t you feel that as long as you tried your best, you wouldn’t ever regret even if it ended up failing?”

“Not to mention that you’re just about to do what my mom has already done for you.”

Li Qianxue was a person, not a tree. She had feelings too. Su Qingsang got to know Li Qianxue better through the time she had spent with her recently.

She believed that Li Qianxue would be touched eventually, as long as Su Chenghui showed his sincerity.

By trying, Su Chenghui would be giving himself a second chance, even if he might not succeed eventually.

The look on Su Chenghui’s face suddenly grew passionate because of Su Qingsang’s words. However, it was again replaced by bitterness.

“How can that change anything? Your mom doesn’t even want to see me now.”

“She doesn’t want to see you, but you can create opportunities to see her. As for why she hates to see you so much now, didn’t you feel the same towards her for tens of years?”

Su Chenghui fell into silence. He looked at Su Qingsang the way he had never looked at her before.

That was the daughter he had barely loved. He ignored her for so many years.

However, under the current circumstance, that very daughter of his was willing to think for him and give him advice.

He felt warm in his heart. He was touched, and faintly guilty.

Su Qingsang said what she needed to say, but didn’t go deeper.

If Su Chenghui really loved Li Qianxue, he would know how to win her back. If his love for her was not real, whether he tried or not would mean nothing.

After all, Li Qianxue was still young too. After leaving Su Chenghui, who might not really love her, she would still have chances to meet someone else.

Being separated but each living a comfortable life would be a good result for two people who used to be a couple.

“Qingsang, thank you.”

Su Chenghui thanked Su Qingsang sincerely. He realized that could no longer treat Su Qingsang as a child.

She was not only the daughter who had been ignored by him. She was also a mature person who had strong opinions and her own way of thinking.

“Dad,” Su Qingsang smiled. “You’re my father. You don’t need to thank me.”

Su Chenghui honestly felt grateful for her even if she didn’t need his gratitude. She didn’t hate him for switching her and Su Peizhen. On the contrary, she cared about his wellbeing.

Looking at Su Qingsang, Su Chenghui thought of his other daughter, Su Peizhen.

He had loved Su Peizhen for so many years, but what did that girl do?

She never even called him since the truth was revealed. He had heard nothing from her. She didn’t seem to want her father anymore.

She didn’t even care about her father as much as Su Qingsang did. What Su Qingsang said to Su Chenghui did give him some confidence, even though those words couldn’t exactly be counted as enlightening.

Su Chenghui knew what he needed to do.

Su Qingsang’s words were the greatest encouragement for him.

“I didn’t do anything,” Su Qingsang said. She knew that Su Chenghui had already made his decision. He just needed someone to give him a slight push.

Seeing the smile on Su Qingsang’s face, Su Chenghui suddenly reached out and held her.

This time, Su Qingsang was the one stunned. Su Chenghui had never held her before.

Su Chenghui’s eye sockets grew slightly warm. That was his daughter.

He soon let go of Su Qingsang. Noticing the surprised look in Su Qingsang’s eyes, he felt a little awkward.

“Qingsang, I was surprised when I heard that you were to marry Huo Jinyao. My ability can’t be compared with Tianyu Group now, but if one day, he makes you unhappy, you have to let me know. I will teach that boy a good lesson.”

“Dad.” Su Qingsang, at that moment, figured out why Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue had ended up marrying each other and started a family.

They were both so protective of their children and so good at spoiling them. Su Qingsang doubted if any other parent could be like them.

“Don’t worry, Huo Jinyao is a good man.”

Su Chenghui stayed silent. He could tell if Huo Jinyao was a good man or not, more or less.

At that very moment, he envied Huo Jinyao slightly. Huo Jinyao was so much better than him. The young man had clearly known what he wanted from the very beginning.

Unlike Huo Jinyao, he spent so many years being muddleheaded, and only recently, did he finally wake up. In that sense, he was so much worse than Huo Jinyao.

But thankfully, he still had time. He needed to start thinking carefully about what to do and how to do it in the coming years, to make Li Qianxue forgive him.
