Xiang Caiping was getting extremely emotional. Her eyes were getting red and she was nearly crying.
“You betrayed me and hurt me. Fine, I understand the situation you were in at the time. I understand everything. You should never have behaved this way to my daughter. If you didn’t want her, you could have just refused to take her. Then, I would have kept her. I would have taken good care of her. I would—”
Caiping could not go on. Su Chenghui’s attitude had suggested too many things. She pointed to the door.
“Su Chenghui, get lost. Get lost before I kill you. I’m telling you, I’ll never forgive you. Never.”
Looking at Xiang Caiping, he had a lot to say. He ultimately held it back.
Don’t say any more. I really don’t need to say anything, he thought.
“Caiping, one day, you will understand that everything I did was for you and for our daughter.”
“Out.” Xiang Caiping was starting to have a headache. “Get out of here right now.”
Su Chenghui pursed his lips into a straight line, maintaining his gracious manner. Only his eyes revealed his endless fatigue.
He turned to the door, stumbling a little. Before he left, he looked at the ball of white wool and clenched his fists on his side.
He thought he was not wrong. He could not be wrong.
He left, with firmer steps.
After he left, Xiang Caiping felt weak all over and sat on the ground.
Why had the man she had truly loved become what he was now? Was Su Chenghui really the man she had loved?
…
Qiu Junjiao was pulled out of her sleep by Qiu Yanbo.
“Get up.”
“Brother?” Qiu Junjiao was still sleepy, so she turned over to go back to sleep. Qiu Yanbo did not give her the chance and pulled up her body forcibly.
“Qiu Junjiao, wake up! What did you do at the Su Family’s the day before yesterday?”
Qiu Yanbo had not attended Su Peizhen’s birthday party because they had broken up. Su Peizhen knew his mind now, so it would have been awkward if they had met.
He had had a business meeting in Gang City, so Qiu Yanbo went on a business trip. He came back last night thinking about talking to Huo Jinyao about the project that had been decided.
When he was back to the company, however, he heard that Huo Jinyao had given the project to Su Chenghui.
The Qiu Family did not lose to the Su Family based on their strength. Besides, this project had been promised to the Qiu Family.
Qiu Yanbo did not know what had gone wrong, so he contacted Huo Jinyao immediately. He had just said, “Why did I do this? You’d better ask your sister.”
Qiu Yanbo directly went home without a phone call.
“Qiu Junjiao, tell me, what did you do at Su Peizhen’s birthday party?”
Qiu Junjiao’s sleepiness was driven away by Qiu Yanbo. She sat up a little angrily and said, “What could I have done? What do you think I could have done? Are you my brother or not? How could you come back and throw a fit at me like this?”
Qiu Yanbo stared at her face and suddenly thought of something. “Don’t tell me that you messed up with Su Qingsang.”
“Messed up with her?” Qiu Junjiao became furious. “I just poured a glass of wine on her. Why don’t you ask what she did to me?”
“You—”
