Chapter 723: Torturing Him For The Rest Of His Life Wasn’t A Bad Idea

Li Qianxue originally wanted to stay in the capital for a few more days to accompany Su Yuxin. However, he was nervous about his schoolwork, and Su Chenghui was also there.

It was no problem for Su Yuxin to accompany her, but every time he stayed by her side, she always felt that he could not bear to leave Su Chenghui behind. This made Li Qianxue feel annoyed.

Su Chenghui had clearly done so many wrong things, but the two children didn’t hate him. She increasingly didn’t want to see Su Chenghui.

She tried her best to control her emotions. After spending Su Yuxin’s birthday with Su Yuxin, Li Qianxue planned to leave for home.

But before returning to Lin City, she still planned to visit Su Qingsang in Rong City. Even if she had to video-chat every day, she liked Su Qingsang’s two growing fraternal twins very much.

She couldn’t wait to hold them in her hands from time to time and dot on them.

Su Yuxin also liked his two little nephews, but he didn’t have the time. After thinking for a while, he picked out some presents and asked Li Qianxue to bring them to Su Qingsang.

Li Qianxue went to Rong City for three days. Because she saw her little grandson and granddaughter, her depressed mood became much better.

..

When Li Qianxue entered the company, she gave the gift that she bought in the capital to Yang Rong.

Yang Rong had followed her since she was young, and the two of them had a good relationship.

“Thank you.” Yang Rong took the gift and handed the calendar in her hand to Li Qianxue. “Even though I received a gift from you, I still have to say that you have three meetings and one social engagement today.”

“Okay.”

Li Qianxue had been gone for a few days and had a lot of work to do. She opened the calendar and looked at it. “Is that all for today?”

“Yes, but there’s a banquet tomorrow night. It’s Old Master Dong’s birthday. The Dong family gave a very generous gift for the Li Corporation’s anniversary last time. I personally think you should go there yourself.”

“Okay.” Old Master Dong had a personal relationship with Old Master Li, so naturally she would go.

“Next week, there will be an award ceremony for the top ten outstanding young people in the city. As I told you last week, as an outstanding President of a corporation in this city, you are also invited.”

“Yes, I will go.” After signing a few documents, Li Qianxue looked up at her. “Is there anything else?”

“Last one.” Yang Rong picked up the documents. “You should remember that 10 am tomorrow morning is the groundbreaking ceremony for City Star.”

City Star was the name of the project in the North District. The brand new smart community would become a landmark of Lin City.

Li Qianxue froze.

After celebrating Su Yuxin’s birthday, she left the capital. After that, she went to Rong City to visit Su Qingsang.

When she returned to Lin City, Su Qingsang sent her to the airport. At that time, Su Qingsang said a few words to her.

On Su Yuxin’s birthday, Su Qingsang called Su Yuxin and asked someone to send him a gift. Not only her, but Huo Jinyao also sent a gift.

She found out that Su Yuxin was with Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue.

She didn’t know what Su Yuxin said to Su Qingsang, but when Su Qingsang sent her to the airport, she brought up Su Chenghui.

“Mom, do you still hate Dad?”

Why are you suddenly mentioning him?”

“I don’t want to talk about him. I want to tell you that if you have a grievance with him because of me and Yuxin, and can’t to let it go, I don’t think it’s necessary. What has happened is already in the past. I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

“Qingsang, you…”

“Mom, the truth is, I really don’t hate Dad. I don’t feel like I’m at a disadvantage from being raised as an illegitimate daughter or anything. First of all, my family doesn’t lack food or clothes. No matter what, I’ve grown up safely.”

Su Qingsang meant what she said. She once read a book. It said that if you encounter unspeakable pain, if you encounter a difficult period in your life, then you should persevere and get through it. After another ten years, you would realize that the past wasn’t worth mentioning at all.

“Although there were some things that might not have been pleasant, it was also because of this that I got to know Huo Jinyao. You know, if I had really been raised by you and dad, I might not have had the chance to meet Huo Jinyao.”

Then, where was she going to find such a good husband?

“I’m doing very well now. So, I don’t hate anyone, and naturally, I don’t hate Dad either. I’m more willing to believe that these things were God’s test for me. I’m grateful for what I’ve been through. I really am.”

Li Qianxue didn’t know what to say. She had always known that Su Qingsang valued relationships too much, but she didn’t expect her to value relationships to such an extent.

“Qingsang?”

“Mom, I’m serious.” Su Qingsang didn’t want Li Qianxue to dwell on it. “If you hate Dad because of me and Yuxin, then there’s no need, because we don’t hate him.”

Su Qingsang paused, as if she was struggling with what to say. It wasn’t appropriate for a daughter like her to say this, but she really didn’t want to see Li Qianxue continue like this.

“Mom, if you hate Dad because he neglected you and lied to you all these years, then I don’t want to say anything more. This is your freedom.”

“But I still want to say that hating a person is very tiring. If you really think that it’s impossible between you and Dad, then why don’t you just let it go? Treat him as a stranger. Ignore him, don’t look at him, and don’t hate him. After all, you wouldn’t hate a stranger, would you?”

“I’m not asking you to forgive Dad, I just want you to have an easy life and be happy. I know you feel guilty towards me, and I know you always regret not recognizing me earlier and taking good care of me. But I’m already so old, and I don’t need you to take care of me. I’m a mother myself now. I understand how good you are to me and how much you love me, so I hope you can live well.”

In fact, Su Qingsang had wanted to say these words for a long time, but she knew that Li Qianxue couldn’t take it at the time.

“You don’t have to forgive dad, and you can continue to hate him. But I hope you can let go of yourself. You should live well and not care about what dad did in the past or what he is doing now. You just need to be happy. For example, find another man and fall in love again.

“Even if you don’t want to find a man for the time being, and if you don’t want to fall in love, it’s okay. Mom, the days in front of you are not what you hope or want. I hope that you are happy. I hope that your life in the future is what you want.”

But such a life definitely didn’t include hating someone.

Hating someone was too tiring. In fact, Su Qingsang had watched for more than a year. She really felt that the best punishment for Su Chenghui now was not at all for her to hate him, but to treat him as a stranger.

Ignoring him and not reacting to anything he did was the best revenge.

But Li Qianxue could not do it. She still hated Su Chenghui. She hated him very much.

“Mom, actually, you can ask your heart. Do you really hate Dad because we were mistreated? Or is it because you still can’t let go of the contempt, disregard, and lack of love he has shown you over the past twenty years?”

Li Qianxue was shocked when she heard this. Her lips moved and she wanted to refute.

However, Su Qingsang seemed to have seen through her thoughts. “Mom, don’t be in a hurry to deny it. I believe that part of the reason why you hate dad is because you think that he has mistreated us. But don’t you hate yourself? After so many years, you really don’t hate Dad for hurting you and for those things he did?”

“Of course I do…” She hated him for it very much. Li Qianxue’s words were interrupted by Su Qingsang. In her opinion, there were many reasons for this. There definitely wasn’t just one reason.

“Mom, no matter which one it is, you can think about it. What exactly are you hating him for?”

“I stand by what I said. If you hate him because of us, then let it go. Don’t look at him, and don’t pay attention to him. Treating him as a stranger is the greatest and best revenge. Believe me.”

“But if you’re hating him because of yourself, because you can’t let it go, I think you can try to give Dad a chance. Use the rest of your life to torture him. Take revenge for everything he’s done to you.”

“Mom, I’m not saying that you should get back together with Dad. I just think that it’s too hard for you. I don’t want you to suffer so much, so you can have a more relaxed life. Choose an outcome that you can accept the most and live the life you want.”

“Mom, I can’t be with you every day, but I really hope that you think about what I said. Think about it, is this really the life you want?”

“Is this kind of life, this way of living, what you want?”

“Mom, do you know? I used to admire you very much. I thought you were a strong woman. No matter what, you couldn’t be defeated or crushed. You were always very rational and detached. But the premise of all this is that you haven’t encountered anything related to Dad.”

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but every time you encounter something related to Dad, you can’t stay calm.”

Su Qingsang had said so much, and although Li Qianxue couldn’t process all of it at the moment, she couldn’t help but want to retort, “How could I? I don’t care about him at all.”

“You don’t care about him? If you don’t care, why are you unhappy every time Dad calls me or Yuxin? You call him pretentious, and you call him a hypocrite.”

“He was always…” a hypocrite. Li Qianxue wanted to say this, but Su Qingsang asked back, “Then why is it that if didn’t he call me or come to see me, you would be even more unhappy?”

When she had just given birth, Su Chenghui didn’t come in time because Su Chenghui didn’t get the news. At that time, Li Qianxue’s reaction was very bad. Even if she didn’t show it on the surface, she told Su Yuxin afterward that Su Chenghui was indeed inhumane and didn’t care about her daughter.

If Su Yuxin hadn’t told her this in private, she wouldn’t have known.

However, when Su Chenghui came to visit her and her two children, Li Qianxue said that he was being pretentious and hypocritical. He only wanted to work with the Huo family.

“Mom, don’t you think that for the past year or so, your emotions have been fluctuating because of Dad?”

No, it should be said that in Li Qianxue’s entire life, when she interacted with Su Chenghui, ahe would always get emotional because of Su Chenghui.

Li Qianxue wanted to refute, but she was speechless. In the end, she couldn’t say anything.

Su Qingsang knew that Rome wasn’t built in a day, so later on, she didn’t continue to persuade her.

However, her words still left a mark in her heart. It made her think all the way on the plane back to Lin City…

“President Li?”

Yang Rong’s words made Li Qianxue come back to her senses. She looked at Yang Rong and nodded. “Okay, I understand.”

“Then I’ll go out first.”

After Yang Rong left, the office became quiet. Li Qianxue turned around and looked outside the window.

Why did she hate him? Did she hate him? She had to treat Su Chenghui as a stranger, completely ignore him, and treat him as if he didn’t exist.

Or was she going to give him a chance and torture him for the rest of his life?

Li Qianxue instinctively shook off this answer. No, she didn’t want to.

The best revenge was to treat him as a stranger. Yes, she should do this. Treat Su Chenghui as a stranger. No matter what he did, she would completely ignore him.

Of course, this might be a little difficult for her, but it didn’t matter. No matter how difficult it was, she would work hard.

She pushed Su Chenghui out of her mind and focused on her work. As for Su Chenghui, he would be a stranger from now on.

..

City Star’s groundbreaking ceremony.

At 9:30 pm, Li Qianxue had already arrived at the construction site. Those who had participated in the groundbreaking ceremony knew that this event wasn’t friendly at all.

It was just cutting the ribbon in a piece of mud that hadn’t been built yet, and then shoveling a few times on the groundbreaking stone.

It was fine when the weather was good, but when the weather was hot, the Sun could even make you dizzy.

It was already early summer, and the weather in Lin City was very hot. Li Qianxue felt the waves of heat as soon as she got off the car.

Li Junsheng, President Zhou, Secretary Li, and President Chen had not arrived yet. Yang Rong followed behind Li Qianxue and looked at the surrounding environment.

Li Qianxue looked at the balloons floating above and then looked at the attendant who was ready not that far away. She turned around and glanced at Yang Rong.

“We always do this every time we start work. Can’t the planning come up with something new?”

“President Li, although it’s always the same, the project is different.”

Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. Seeing that Wang Tao was already here, she planned to go up and greet him. She asked Yang Rong to give some instructions and had people check the surroundings again.

She went in Wang Tao’s direction. Before she took two steps, an umbrella appeared above her head.

Li Qianxue forgot to take the umbrella when she got out of the car. The main reason was that she had to cut the ribbon later and shovel the soil. Even if she really opened an umbrella, it wouldn’t last long.

When she turned around and saw Wei Ting, her face was filled with confusion. “Why are you here?”

“Your company’s groundbreaking ceremony is important, so of course I’m here.”

Wei Ting smiled and turned the umbrella in her direction. “The sun is shining. I’ll be your underling today. I won’t let you get a sun burn.”

“Thank you.” Li Qianxue thanked him, but her footsteps continued in Wang Tao’s direction.

Wei Ting moved closer to her. When she glared at him, he stuck out his tongue innocently. “Qianxue, you can’t blame me. I’m just afraid that you’ll get tanned.”

“Thank you, but can you please stay away from me?”

She wasn’t far from Wang Tao. However, before she could get closer, she saw someone get out of the car next to Wang Tao. If it wasn’t Su Chenghui, then who was it?

Now that she saw Su Chenghui, she was only stunned for a moment. She nodded her head slightly as a greeting.

Su Chenghui saw Wei Ting’s actions and also saw that Li Qianxue didn’t push him away. His gaze somewhat gloomy, he lowered his eyes.

Li Qianxue exchanged a few pleasantries with Wang Tao. Holding the umbrella for Li Qianxue dutifully, Wei Ting stood there with a smile.

Su Chenghui saw his actions and the way he looked at him with a smug expression. He narrowed his eyes, took a few steps to the side with his phone, and went to make a call.

When he made the call, Li Junsheng had already brought some of the city’s leaders and President Zhou over.

Li Qianxue couldn’t care less about Wei Ting anymore and went in the direction of Li Junsheng and the others.

Wei Ting just wanted to keep up, but his phone rang at this time. He ran to the side to answer the phone. She didn’t know what was said on the other side of the phone, but his expression changed drastically. He wanted to give Li Qianxue a heads up before leaving.

However, Li Qianxue happened to be talking to Li Junsheng, so he could only quickly get into the car and leave first.

After he left, Su Chenghui silently took out an umbrella from the back of his car and headed in Li Qianxue’s direction.

There were still more than ten minutes before the groundbreaking ceremony at 10 o’clock sharp. In addition to leaders like Li Junsheng, there were also some reporters from the mainstream media outlets in the city.

Yang Rong was dealing with the reporters while Li Qianxue was talking to Li Junsheng and the others about this project and the land next door.

While she was engrossed in talking, an umbrella was placed over her head. She thought it was still Wei Ting and didn’t think too much about it. She didn’t even turn around.

President Zhou smiled when he saw Su Chenghui behind her. He then looked at the others and revealed a look of tacit understanding.

Five minutes to ten, Li Junsheng was the first to speak. “Let’s go, it’s about to start.”

“Okay, this way please.”

As the main person in charge of this project, Li Qianxue bowed and gestured for the leaders to leave first. At this time, Wang Tao came over. She smiled and gestured for Wang Tao to leave first.

She followed behind Wang Tao. Wang Tao looked behind her and smiled as he took a few steps forward.

This side was a construction site that hadn’t been started yet. Even though the red carpet had been laid out, it was still a little uneven. At the end of the red carpet was the place where the ribbon was cut.

After the ribbon was cut, it would be the groundbreaking ceremony.

For the sake of her image today, Li Qianxue wore a pair of not-so-high heels. After taking only two steps, she bumped into something and turned.

Her body was about to fall down when a hand quickly supported her body from behind.

She instinctively took a step back, but she retreated into a warm chest.

She smelled a familiar scent. She turned around and widened her eyes when she saw Su Chenghui in front of her.

“Why is it you?”

Su Chenghui was still holding her waist with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other. She wanted him to take his hand away, but Su Chenghui looked at the stage.

“It’s about to start. They’re all waiting for us. Let’s go.”

Who was with him? Where did “us” come from?

Li Qianxue’s face didn’t look pleasant. She just planned to treat Su Chenghui as a stranger, but he had been by her side for so long.

Even if she wanted to flare up, there were so many guests today, and there were reporters. She couldn’t throw a tantrum even if she wanted to. When she thought about it, her facial expression turned even uglier.
