Chapter 335: It Was Just A Man

Chapter 335: It Was Just A Man

“Father, I’m fine now.” It was just a man; she could let it go. However, she was just not able to make peace with the fact that the one who had caused Qiu Yanbo to have a change of heart was Su Qingsang.

“Good that you’re fine now. I’m glad to hear it.”

The feeling that her father was exhibiting strange behavior intensified in Su Peizhen. “Father, are you really alright?”

“I’m fine, you should rest.” Su Chenghui’s voice reflected his fatigue.

Su Peizhen turned to leave, but she suddenly halted her footsteps when she was at the door. “Oh, right. Father, Meishan had mentioned that she wanted to go to Japan to enjoy the hot springs. Perhaps I’ll join her for a leisurely trip for a few days.”

“Sure, you’ll have each other for company. Let me know if you need a spending allowance.”

This time, Su Peizhen really felt that there was something weird going on with Su Chenghui.

“Father, have you forgotten? I have money.”

“Right, right, you have your own money.” Su Chenghui waved her off in a seemingly tired manner.

Su Peizhen closed the door as she exited the room. The study was silent again. Su Chenghui poured himself another glass of alcoholic beverage. He thought about how he was not at fault.

Li Qianxue could not be completely at ease with Su Chenghui’s behavior, so she ascended the steps to the study. She then saw that Su Chenghui had fallen asleep on the chair.

There were four or five empty bottles on the table, and one bottle had fallen onto the floor. Li Qianxue gazed at Su Chenghui’s face for a long time before she turned to leave. She returned to her room to grab a blanket before going back to the study room to put it over Su Chenghui.

The air-conditioning in the study had been switched on, but the room was not cold. Her action did not jolt Su Chenghui out of his slumber. When she was about to leave after covering Su Chenghui with the blanket, she heard him mutter a few words under his breath.

Halting her footsteps, Li Qianxue stood still again. She heard the words clearly this time. Su Chenghui was muttering, “I’m not at fault. I’m not at fault.”

Fault? What fault does he mean? Li Qianxue furrowed her brows slightly. Her delicately made-up face reflected that she was deep in thought.

When Huo Jinyao returned from his morning workout outdoors, Su Qingsang had just woken up. She did not get out of bed yet and was going through things on her phone.

Noticing his return, she flipped over and propped herself up to look at him.

“I’ve done some research, and that little western lake looks scenic. I’ve been there in the past, but in recent years, they have opened the botanical gardens to the public again. The gardens were initially not open to visitors. We could check it out.”

“It’s up to you.”

“I did some checking and it only takes two hours to drive there. In this case, my mother will not be tired out.”

That little western lake was situated two hours from Lin City’s center. The scenic spot was named Little West Lake. Su Qingsang had been there once when she was a university student.

“It sounds pretty good.” Huo Jinyao sat on the edge of the bed. “You can just say the word.”

“Sure, then we’ll settle on going there.”

“Isn’t it New Year’s Day in two days’ time? Do you want to venture out further?” Huo Jinyao did have a good suggestion in mind. “For instance, we could take your mother to Japan to enjoy the hot springs or something. What do you think?”

“To Japan?” Su Qingsang found that a little too far. “There’s no need for that, I think. It’s too far. Moreover, I don’t know if my mother has her passport with her.”

“Leave the passport to me. I’ll help Mother to get one issued to her. I just feel that since your mother is from Lin City, she probably won’t be interested in the places here. I think going to Japan is a good idea. You ladies can do some shopping there. Isn’t that nice?”

“Then I’ll ask my mother about it. Let’s see if she wants to go or not.”

Su Qingsang, in fact, also felt that taking Xiang Caiping out would be a better idea. She was honestly still afraid that Su Chenghui would come and look for her again.

It was fine once or twice, but if the frequency increased, she feared that it would catch Li Qianxue’s attention. Even though she was not afraid of trouble, she wanted to avoid any sticky situations that could be prevented.

Going to Japan is a good idea, and it’s far from here too. I believe that when Su Chenghui has calmed down, he will cease coming here to look for Xiang Caiping.
