To My Dear Mr. Huo

Chapter 265: I Am Your Mother

The weather in Lin City had gradually become chilly. It definitely could not be compared to the extreme cold of Rong City, though.

Xiang Caiping had on a woolen jacket and she appeared to be afraid of the cold. She had some fine lines at the edges of her eyes.

When faced with the doubt in Su Qingsang’s eyes, she rubbed her hands together. It seemed like she was slightly embarrassed to speak.

Su Qingsang saw Xiang Caiping’s awkwardness and decided not to pressure her. “Aunty, if you don’t feel like saying it now, then let’s have our meal first. You can talk about it after.”

Su Qingsang felt that the other party might have some difficulties in speaking her mind, hence she was not in a hurry to question her.

Xiang Caiping did not expect Su Qingsang to be so understanding; warm tears started to fill her eyes. She could see that Su Qingsang had had a good upbringing.

She heaved a sigh of relief. Looks like that person had taken good care of Su Qingsang.

The dishes were served shortly. Su Qingsang realized that the other party did not eat meat and was only eating vegetables.

She did not question the other party’s diet preferences. The two of them ate in silence. During that time, Su Qingsang thought of sending Huo Jinyao a message to inform him about her meeting. She later decided that she could handle this matter by herself, hence there was no need to inform him.

After the meal, much time had lapsed. Su Qingsang checked the time and knew that she had twenty more minutes before she was due at work.

“Aunty, can you tell me what you came here for? I have to be at work in a bit.”

Xiang Caiping put her bowl down and her hands shook a little after hearing what Su Qingsang said.

Seemingly determined to do what she had come to do, Xiang Caiping stared fixedly at Su Qingsang and started to speak very softly.

“I know your name is Su Qingsang. You are twenty-five this year. Your birthday is on 26 December; the last day of Christmas. Your father is Su Chenghui. You...”

Su Qingsang’s disposition started to change as she listened to Xiang Caiping’s words. She looked at Xiang Caiping warily. “What are you driving at? How do you know all that?”

This information was not confidential and could be found out with a little investigation. Why would Xiang Caiping want to find out such information?

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person. I’m really not a bad person.” Xiang Caiping waved her hands, her wrinkled face seemed to reflect a sense of urgency. “I, Qingsang, I, I am your mother.”

Su Qingsang’s hand, which reached for her cellphone, stopped in mid-air and the phone in her hand slipped back into her bag.

She glared at the woman in front of her. Her eyes revealed that she was guarded and filled with suspicion. “What did you say?”

“I, I really am your mother. I also know that you were born at nine in the morning. You weighed 7.5 pounds when you were born. You...”

“Stop,” Su Qingsang held up one of her hands. She blinked and struggled to maintain her composure after receiving the barrage of information. “You mean I’m your daughter? You’re my mother?”

“Yes.”

“So, you mean, you and my father, Su Chenghui, the both of you...”

She had not figured out how to verbalize the rest of her sentence, but the situation she was facing now was obviously something she had not expected.

“Yes, I was once Su Chenghui’s lover.”

Xiang Caiping gave Su Qingsang a definite answer, but Su Qingsang found it hard to believe.

She could not help but look Xiang Caiping over. She looked to be in her fifties; there were fine lines at the edges of her eyes and her disposition was slightly ashen. Her hair also had specks of grey.

Despite that, it was not difficult to see from her features that she used to be quite attractive during her younger years.

Su Qingsang could not easily bring herself to believe that this older woman was her mother.

Firstly, she could not find any trace of resemblance between herself and the older woman, and, secondly, she really could not believe that the woman in front of her used to be Su Chenghui’s mistress.

Su Chenghui was married to Li Qianxue. Su Peizhen was born before her, which meant that the woman in front of her could only be a third party between Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue.

“What evidence do you have to prove that you are my mother?”
