Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Qianxue held the phone in her palm and felt the faint sweat.

She looked in the direction of the kitchen and forced herself to be patient. She wouldn’t lose, wMhether it was in the past or now.

Li Qianxue thought to herself, Su Qingsang would definitely choose her. But at this moment, she heard a knock on the door.

Her heart suddenly jumped. Could it be that Su Qingsang had returned?

She sat there and didn’t open the door for a long time. There were a few more knocks on the door. Li Qianxue closed her eyes. Xiang Caiping also walked out of the kitchen.

She was looking at her. She was also looking at her.

Li Qianxue, who had concealed her emotions well, saw a hint of nervousness in Xiang Caiping’s eyes. She suddenly smiled, curved her lips slightly, and got up to open the door.

In reality, Li Qianxue’s heart was beating very fast. If the person who came was really Su Qingsang, she wasn’t sure that she would really stand on her side.

The door opened. The person standing outside was unexpectedly Su Chenghui. Upon seeing him, Li Qianxue froze for a moment, and at the same time, she felt inexplicably relieved.

“Why are you here?”

Su Chenghui didn’t speak. He looked past her and looked at Xiang Caiping, who was standing behind him.

She was wearing an apron and stood there with an ambivalent expression on her face.

Su Chenghui looked at Li Qianxue and then looked at Xiang Caiping. Even if the two of them didn’t speak, he could still sense the tension in the air.

Su Chenghui took a step forward and stood in front of Li Qianxue. Su Chenghui’s low voice was full of pleading.

“Qianxue, come back with me.”

“Heh.” Li Qianxue suddenly smiled. “This is my daughter’s home. You want me to go back with you? Where?”

“You’ll make things difficult for Qingsang.”

“She should have known that when she brought Xiang Caiping to this home, she would also make things difficult for me.”

Li Qianxue’s expression was a little cold. “She knew that it would make things difficult for me, but she still did it. Now that she feels that things are difficult, it can only be her own fault.”

Su Chenghui was at a loss for words, and his expression appeared a little conflicted. “Qianxue, don’t be like this.”

“Don’t be like what?”Li Qianxue felt that it was ironic, and the corners of her lips curled up with a hint of mockery. “Su Chenghui, so many years have passed, but you really haven’t changed at all, have you? In the past, you hoped that I would give in, but now, you’re still like this. Let me tell you, I won’t give in today.”

Su Chenghui’s expression didn’t look too good. His current concern wasn’t Xiang Caiping, but Su Qingsang.

“I just don’t want my daughter to be troubled.”

Li Qianxue curled her lips, and the derision in her eyes deepened. “Do you not want your daughter to be in trouble, or do you want to protect your old lover?”

“Qianxue, you know clearly –”

“I don’t know.” Li Qianxue narrowed her eyes, and her expression was very cold. “Whether it’s you or Qingsang, the two of you are really father and daughter. Even the things you do are the same, and the way you two think are the same.”

“Qianxue?”

“Stop talking.” Li Qianxue felt impatient listening to him. “I won’t give in. Let me tell you, I, Li Qianxue, will never give in.”

“Qianxue, why are you doing this?”

“Why? You liking your old lover and wanting to be with her is your own business, but Qingsang is my daughter. I have been wronged for so many years, and it can be said that I owed her for so many years. She values relationships and can’t let go of the past. I don’t mind, and I’m willing to give her time, but I won’t give her another chance like I did to you back then, and let her hurt my feelings unscrupulously.”

Li Qianxue’s words made Su Chenghui fall silent. He stood there without moving for a long time.

“Two days.”

Xiang Caiping’s voice suddenly sounded behind them. The two of them turned around and looked at her. Xiang Caiping stood there with a conflicted look on her face.

“Li Qianxue, give me two days. I can leave on my own. You don’t have to chase me away, and I don’t need Qingsang to chase me away.”

Su Chenghui looked at her without saying anything. Li Qianxue crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at her with narrowed eyes. Her eyes were full of doubt.

“What I said is true. I will leave on my own in two days.”

Xiang caiping seemed to know that Li Qianxue wouldn’t believe her. “The mid-autumn festival is in three days. I promised Qingsang I would make mooncakes for her to eat. I don’t want to go back on my word. Li Qianxue, I’m not afraid of losing, and I’m not that insecure that Qingsang will definitely choose you. But I understand your feelings, and I wouldn’t want Su Peizhen to choose you either.”

“I only need two days. Two days is enough for me to finish what I promised Qingsang. I will leave by then. I can also promise that I will never see Qingsang again.”

At least she wouldn’t come to Su Qingsang. If Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao wanted to find her, she would avoid them.

Li Qianxue stood at the door and looked at Xiang Caiping, but she wasn’t in a hurry to speak.

“You don’t believe me?” Xiang Caiping’s voice was slightly anxious. “I promised you that I would leave, so I naturally won’t stay. Just like how I didn’t compete for Su Chenghui with you in the past, I won’t compete for Qingsang with you now.”

No matter what, Su Qingsang would always be Li Qianxue’s daughter. She knew about this very clearly.

“That’s because you can’t win.”

Li Qianxue’s words made Xiang Caiping’s face turn a little pale. After saying that, she felt bored again.

“Enough.” Li Qianxue waved her hand. “Two days it is. But don’t put on such a face again, as if I’m bullying you.”

She didn’t want to stay any longer and turned to leave. Su Chenghui looked at Xiang Caiping with a complicated expression, then quickly followed Li Qianxue and left.

After entering the elevator, Li Qianxue stood across from Su Chenghui.

“Your old Lover is suffering. Why? Don’t you need to comfort her?”

“I want to comfort you more.”

“What do I have to be comforted by you?” Her face full of pride and arrogance, Li Qianxue raised her chin slightly. “I won, didn’t you hear? She knew she would lose to me, so she backed down.”

“Qianxue.” He knew, and she also knew, that some things weren’t like that.

“Don’t talk, I don’t want to listen to you now.”

Completely ignoring Su Chenghui, Li Qianxue rubbed her temples, turned around and looked at the mirror wall in the elevator.

... ..

As soon as Li Qianxue returned to the hotel, she entered her own room while ignoring whatever Su Chenghui said.

Su Chenghui called twice, but when he didn’t get an answer, so he had to stop. He had to meet a client in the afternoon, and he still had two contracts to discuss.

Su Chenghui, who had left the Li family, had to work harder than before to succeed. For a man in his forties to start over now, he was under a lot of pressure.

He didn’t want to fail, and he wasn’t willing to fail. Only when he succeeded again would he have more confidence to stand next to Li Qianxue.

Before Su Chenghui left, he ordered a Chinese meal for Li Qianxue and left a note. Su Chenghui told her to look for him, even though he knew that the chances of that happening were very low.

What Su Chenghui didn’t expect was that when he came back in the evening, Li Qianxue was drinking again.

There were a few empty bottles on the table in the living room. Li Qianxue was still sitting on the sofa outside. There were two bottles on the coffee table, one of which was already empty.

Li Qianxue picked up the other bottle and poured it into the cup.

The smell of alcohol made Su Chenghui realize that Li Qianxue had probably drunk a lot. Without thinking, he went forward and grabbed her cup.

“Qianxue, don’t drink anymore.”

“Go away.” Li Qianxue was in a bad mood today. She wanted to change places, but because she was in a bad mood, she continued to stay here.

She didn’t change hotels, but it didn’t mean that she had to listen to Su Chenghui. It didn’t mean that she forgave Su Chenghui.

Su Chenghui knew that Li Qianxue wasn’t as indifferent as she appeared to be.

Whether it was him or Su Qingsang, he from back then and the current Su Qingsang probably hurt Li Qianxue’s feelings.

Upon seeing that Li Qianxue didn’t need the cup and was about to drink from the bottle, Su Chenghui snatched the bottle away.

“Give it back to me.”

Li Qianxue was indeed very annoyed. Just a while ago, Su Qingsang even video-chatted with her. Upon seeing that she was staying in a completely different environment from her home, she didn’t doubt that she was on a business trip and not in Lin City.

If Su Qingsang called the Li family in the next two days, she would know that she had already come to Rong City.

But unfortunately, she came to see Su Qingsang, while Old Master Li went to see Su Yuxin, so the Li family was indeed empty now.

It was originally fine, but after chatting with Su Qingsang, Li Qianxue’s mood began to sink.

Some things could be thought through, and she could tell herself that it didn’t matter, but that was just an excuse. In fact, she just couldn’t let go of it. In fact, it did matter.

How could Su Chenghui give her the wine? He put the wine down, held Li Qianxue’s hand, and squatted down beside her.

“Don’t drink anymore. It’s not good for your health.”

“Does whether my health is good or not have anything to do with you?” Li Qianxue wanted to break away from his hand, but Su Chenghui didn’t let go. Not only did he not let go, he even hugged her.

“Qianxue, Qianxue, listen to me. If you really feel anguished, you can cry. Or, you can hit me.”

In his memory, except for the time when she first acknowledged Su Qingsang, Li Qianxue had never cried. For so many years, she had always been calm and composed.

Crying was almost impossible for Li Qianxue. In the past, Su Chenghui didn’t feel it, but now, he felt heartache.

Li Qianxue looked at him expressionlessly. “Crying? Who do you think I am?”

She was Li Qianxue, the eldest daughter of the Li family, and now the head of the Li family. She wouldn’t cry.

The more she said this, the more Su Chenghui felt heartache. He held her tightly in his arms.

“Qianxue, don’t be like this. “He didn’t understand it in the past. He just hated her aggressiveness and didn’t like her bossiness.

But later, he understood that whether she was arrogant or pompous, it was just her behavior. Her heart was the same as that of any other women.

She longed for love and needed love.

Li Qianxue struggled a few times, but she couldn’t break free. She was too lazy to struggle. She had drunk some alcohol, so her head was a little dizzy and her consciousness was a little disoriented.

She blinked her eyes and looked at Su Chenghui, who was in front of her. She felt that no matter how she looked at him, he was annoying.

“Su Chenghui, are you laughing at me in your heart?”

“I’m not.” Why would he laugh at her?

“I’m not gentle, and I’m not capable. I don’t know how to do housework. I also don’t know how to clean the house. I don’t know how to cook, and I also don’t know how to make those desserts and moon cakes to make people happy.”

“To put it bluntly, I’m actually a woman who has nothing to boast besides family background.”

“She’s different. She’s gentler and more capable than I am. She knows how to please people better than I do. She knows how to take care of people better than I do.”

Her eyes were wet. She wasn’t really depressed. She could withstand the torment from Su Chenghui in the past, but Su Qingsang’s behavior now didn’t hurt her. She just felt a little uncomfortable.

She was able to withstand it, but she didn’t care at all.

But now that she was drunk, her hidden emotions were completely revealed. When she saw Xiang Caiping, she couldn’t help but think that she might indeed be inferior to Xiang Caiping in some aspects.

That kind of emotion was enough to make her loathe and despise herself.

“So it’s no wonder that you all chose her. Compared to her, I really seem to have failed to the extreme.”

“Qianxue, I didn’t choose her.” Su Chenghui knew that she wouldn’t believe him, but he still said, “I chose you. Do you remember?”

Li Qianxue ignored him. Su Chenghui didn’t mind convincing her further.

“Not only me, but also Qingsang. She also chose you. Do you remember? She could have kept her identity a secret, but she chose to acknowledge you.”

“So you see, Qianxue, whether it’s me or Qingsang, we all chose you.”

Li Qianxue raised her head and stared straight at Su Chenghui with eyes that were a little confused because she was drunk.

Su Chenghui’s gaze didn’t waver. He stared fixedly at Li Qianxue.

However, Li Qianxue pushed him away and she took a big step back. Even though she was drunk, the gaze she used to look at Su Chenghui was still cold.

“Su Chenghui, your words are so flattering, but it’s a pity that I don’t believe you.”

“Qianxue?”

“Don’t call me.” Li Qianxue waved his hand away. Her eyes were filled with resistance. “Qingsang chose me because I’m her biological mother. She didn’t have a choice. As for you –”

She pointed her finger at Su Chenghui’s chest. Li Qianxue’s voice was filled with malice. “You chose me because you don’t have a better choice for the time being.”

Shaking her head, she sobered up a little and tapped on Su Chenghui’s chest lightly.

“That new company of yours didn’t get the contract last month, right? Did you only realize now that the Li Corporation’s brand is more useful than you thought?”

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui’s expression wasn’t very good. No matter how many difficulties he encountered in his work, they paled in comparison to Li Qianxue’s words.

“Am I right?”

Li Qianxue took a big step back. Her face, which had turned red due to being drunk, unexpectedly had a hint of derision.

“Su Chenghui, do you think that I will believe your words because I’m drunk? Ridiculous.”

With that said, Li Qianxue didn’t look at Su Chenghui anymore. She walked past him and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

However, she was drunk after all. Her footsteps were a little unsteady. When she passed by the balcony door, she accidentally tripped. She was about to fall forward, but Su Chenghui caught her in time.

After Li Qianxue steadied herself, she quickly waved his hand away and walked into the room with a cold expression.

Su Chenghui was left standing there staring at Li Qianxue’s back. His heart felt bitter, but at the same time, his determination didn’t waver.

Qianxue, one day you will know that what I said is true.
