Chapter 417: Where is Qingsang’s Mother?

Chapter 417: Where is Qingsang’s Mother?

In the past few days, the atmosphere in the family had been a little intense. Maybe it was because Su Peizhen was still abroad.

Li Qianxue was wearing a sour face all the time as if someone owed her. She didn’t look happy on New Year’s eve at all.

Even Old Master Li had noticed her weird mood. However, he didn’t mention a word about it, since she herself never said anything.

Young people had their own problems. Parents shouldn’t be interfering with their lives, he thought.

Old Master Li had spent many years worrying about Li Qianxue. He had now turned too old to worry about his daughter.

Li Qianxue suffered a slight headache once she got up from the bed. She stayed in her room and didn’t want to go out. Some guests visited in the morning. Their families weren’t as wealthy as the Su Family, so Li Qianxue had no need to show them special hospitality.

After the guests left, she went back to her bed. Dislike could be detected on her face when she saw Su Chenghui.

These days, she found Su Chenghui so annoying. She had lost her hope for that man, and no longer wanted to be with him.

Su Chenghui came out of the bathroom and paused briefly when he saw Li Qianxue. Recently, his relationship with her had been in a very bad state.

Ever since that day she caught him at the hospital, she never said a word to him.

The New Year should be the time for families to talk to each other and reconnect, yet the two of them had not even one word to say to each other.

Li Qianxue smiled at the guests but always looked at Su Chenghui with cold eyes.

They each took one side of the bed. A couple of nights ago, Li Qianxue got herself an extra quilt, so she didn’t have to share one with Su Chenghui.

Now she went back to the bedroom to rest. Seeing Su Chenghui looking at the bed, she turned to the other side of the room.

There was a chaise lounge in the room, handcrafted in Italy. Li Qianxue took out a blanket from the closet, then lay on the lounge and prepared to catch some sleep.

Before she fell asleep, she heard the noises of a car in the backyard. She felt a little irritated. Many people visited the family during the New Year, and she could never rest.

In the past, she didn’t feel so tired of dealing with visitors.

Soon later, Su Yuxin came upstairs.

“Mom, Dad?” Su Yuxin looked at his parents, sensing the weird atmosphere in the room. He gave a long sigh.

Everyone wanted a happy family with parents who loved each other. Su Yuxin had no idea when he started to realize that it was an extravagant hope for him.

“My sister and brother-in-law are here.”

Su Peizhen was still abroad, so by sister and brother-in-law he meant, of course, Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao.

Li Qianxue got up when Su Yuxin came in. Hearing what the boy said, she gave Su Chenghui a glance. Seeing the latter remain motionless, she curved her lips in a sarcastic smile.

“Your most precious daughter is here to wish you Happy New Year. Aren’t you going downstairs to welcome them?”

Su Chenghui didn’t look happy.

Li Qianxue glanced at Su Yuxin, then said to him, “I have a headache. I’m going to take some more sleep.”

After saying that, she lay back down. Su Yuxin felt a little helpless. He couldn’t help but turn to Su Chenghui.

Su Chenghui had to go downstairs, no matter how reluctant he was to see Su Qingsang.

Downstairs, Huo Jinyao was playing an exciting chess game with Old Master Li, while Su Qingsang was watching. She didn’t know much about chess but could tell that the battle was intense.

Old Master Li had his eyebrows furrowed, while Huo Jinyao looked carefree. It seemed that he was doing better than Old Master Li.

Seeing Su Chenghui again, Su Qingsang had complex feelings.

In her eyes, Su Chenghui was an irresponsible man. However, that irresponsible man was her father.

“Dad.”

“Father,” Huo Jinyao stopped playing and stood up to greet Su Chenghui.

Su Chenghui nodded slightly but didn’t seem friendly at all. Su Qingsang wasn’t surprised by his attitude.

If would be so weird if Su Chenghui welcomed her attentively and warmly.

Huo Jinyao went back to the game. After a few rounds, Old Master Li admitted defeat.

“The young people are growing stronger and stronger. The younger generation will certainly surpass the older.”

Old Master Li praised his skills. He really admired Huo Jinyao.

“Thank you, Grandpa,” Huo Jinyao smiled and added, “My Grandpa likes playing chess too. I used to play a lot with him.”

While Huo Jinyao was playing chess with Old Master Li, Su Qingsang was talking to Su Yuxin.

Su Chenghui became the superfluous one, but he didn’t care. He was a little distracted, probably thinking about something.

Before lunch, Li Qianxue came downstairs. After having some extra sleep, she looked slightly better than before.

Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang stood up to greet her. Li Qianxue responded to them very coldly.

Su Qingsang was used to her attitude. She wasn’t unhappy about that at all.

Su Yuxin looked at Su Qingsang apologetically. Su Qingsang gave him a smile.

Noticing the look in her son’s eyes, Li Qianxue pulled a long face.

Her husband had taken Su Qingsang’s side, and so had her son.

The anger was stuck in her chest and wouldn’t budge.

That felt awful. She couldn’t wait until the others finished the meal and left early.

Seeing his daughter’s abnormal behavior, Old Master Li felt helpless.

Thankfully, Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang didn’t care about that. After all, Li Qianxue was nobody important to them. Her attitude meant nothing to them.

After lunch, Su Qingsang was preparing to leave. However, she couldn’t help but try again to ask Su Chenghui about her real mother.

Huo Jinyao knew what she was thinking. He held her hand and said to her, “I’ll do it.”

Su Qingsang bit her lip and looked at him with surprise. “Huo Jinyao?”

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.”

After saying that, Huo Jinyao told Su Qingsang to chat with Old Master Li and Su Yuxin, and then invited Su Chenghui to the study room, using business as an excuse.

Su Chenghui had no idea what business was so important that it had to be discussed on the New Year. He did know that Huo Jinyao had spent some time in Rong City earlier, so he figured that there might be a new project or something like that.

The two of them walked into the study room.

The maid brought in two cups of tea and left.

Su Chenghui looked at Huo Jinyao, waiting for him to start talking.

Huo Jinyao picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, then said, “Isn’t this the green tea from before the first rain? It’s a bit wasteful to drink it like this.”

Su Chenghui stayed silent. Old Master Li liked that tea, so he asked a friend to buy some of it for him.

As for how to drink that tea properly, he had no idea, and he didn’t care. He wasn’t a tea lover actually. Old Master Li would boil his own tea when he had time.

“The business you wanted to talk about…”

“There is no business,” Huo Jinyao looked at Su Chenghui as he spoke. He had detected the weird attitude that Su Chenghui had been having lately. “In fact, there are some private things that I want to talk to you about.”

“What is it?” Su Chenghui knitted his eyebrows as he had a bad feeling about the conversation that was going to happen. “What do you want to talk about?”
