Su Qingsang was not responding to her, so Su Peizhen took a step forward and stood firm.
“What? You can’t answer? Did you think that I wouldn’t find out if you kept quiet about it?”
Su Qingsang was starting to have a headache. She had been in Rong City for a week and had completely forgotten about this. “I really don’t know.”
“How can you not know?” Su Peizhen was not convinced at all. “Su Qingsang, if you are thinking of keeping mum about it to make a joke out of me, then you will never get your wish.”
“Sis, you are overthinking this.” Su Qingsang rarely addressed Su Peizhen as her sister and whenever she did, it meant that she was really exasperated. “I have no reason to lie to you. I really have no idea.”
“Do you really have no idea, or do you lack the courage to say it?”
Su Peizhen took another step forward and faced Su Qingsang squarely. She was trying her best to keep her expression in check, but it still revealed a certain sense of fury.
“Do you think that I don’t know?” Do you think that I can’t figure it out? Su Qingsang, that woman is you…”
The sudden severity in Su Peizhen’s tone shocked Su Qingsang and she was momentarily dazed. She, however, quickly composed herself.
“Sis, I really have no idea. If the person who Qiu Yanbo likes is me, then why did he wait until he was going to be engaged to you before telling you about it? This isn’t reasonable at all.”
She expressed herself very solemnly. Her solemnity even caused her to be convinced that she was telling the truth.
Su Peizhen’s eyes bore into Su Qingsang and knew that her words did make sense. Su Peizhen nodded slowly and deliberately.
“Alright, Su Qingsang. Since you claim that the matter has nothing to do with you, I will trust you this once. This is the only time I will trust you. If I find out that the woman that Qiu Yanbo is smitten with is you, or that you have something to hide, then don’t blame me for taking harsh actions.”
She was not a bad person and did not wish to deal with an illegitimate daughter like Su Qingsang. If Su Qingsang crossed her, however, she would not be gracious about it.
After warning Su Qingsang, Su Peizhen spun around and left; leaving a slightly exasperated Su Qingsang to massage between her brows.
How Su Qingsang had made her claim did not constitute as lying, did it?
…
Previously in Rong City, besides buying gifts for people in her department at work, Su Qingsang had also bought gifts for members of Su Family.
After being harassed by Su Peizhen, she did not want to personally deliver the gifts to them anymore. If Su Peizhen really justified to Li Qianxue that it was Su Qingsang who had caused her to fail in getting engaged with Qiu Yanbo, the repercussions for Su Qingsang would be great.
Back home, Su Qingsang called for a courier to pack and send her gifts to Su Family.
As for whether Su Chenghui would be displeased or angered, it was of no concern to her. After all, she had done her part.
She also had a gift for Shi Mengwan. After thinking for a while, she gave Shi Mengwan a call to ask her out for a meetup.
Shi Mengwan was extremely busy these days. Besides receiving some orders, she had also joined a national wedding dress design competition that was renowned in the industry.
She treated this competition with such great importance that she spent all her hours drawing her designs. She was never satisfied with her drawings and kept tearing them up and discarding them.
It was when she received the call from Su Qingsang that she recalled that she had not met up with her for a long time. They arranged to meet and also decided to have a meal together.
Not long after Shi Mengwan had settled into her seat, she suddenly remembered that she had to remind Su Qingsang about an issue.
“Your older sister came twice to the wedding dress boutique to look for me. She kept asking if I knew who the woman was who had caused Qiu Yanbo to have a change of heart. I deflected all her questions away. You have to be careful. I’m afraid that she would find trouble with you.”
Previously, Su Qingsang had been away from Lin City and Su Peizhen was not able to look her up. Su Peizhen had thus gone to the wedding dress boutique to look for Shi Mengwan, thinking that she would have the answer she sought.
