Xiang Caiping had flung that slap extremely hard. Even after that, she thought it was not hard enough.
“Who do you think you are? Huh?” Xiang Caiping didn’t have the poise that Su Qingsang displayed.
She grabbed hold of Su Peizhen without hesitation. Her gaze had never been so grim. “Who are you to scold my daughter? Where are your manners? Did your parents teach you to act like this?”
“You…” Su Peizhen’s face was still in pain She couldn’t even cover her face with her hands since Xiang Caiping was grabbing hold of her.
She could only look at that woman. She had heard her. Her daughter? Who? Su Qingsang?
Since when was Su Qingsang her daughter? Before Su Peizhen sorted out her thoughts, Xiang Caiping flared up again. She could no longer hold herself back.
She couldn’t swallow this. Those pent-up feelings which she had suppressed and accumulated over the years had finally found a vent. She grabbed onto Su Peizhen’s hand and didn’t let her escape, just like what she had done earlier.
“Who are you calling a home-wrecker? Who did you think is the home-wrecker? Let me tell you, I am not the home-wrecker. Your mom is the home-wrecker. Your mom, Li Qianxue, is the home-wrecker! She stole my man! She had set a trap to get your father into a relationship with her. Then, they had you and got married.”
Su Peizhen had never heard this version of the story before. She stared with her big eyes at Xiang Caiping, in shock. “You are speaking nonsense!”
“Am I speaking nonsense? You can go back and ask Li Qianxue who the home-wrecker is. Who is so shameless as to steal another person’s man?”
Xiang Caiping flung off Su Peizhen’s hand with force, took a deep breath, then turned to look at Su Qingsang and asked, “Are you okay, Qingsang?”
Su Qingsang shook her head slightly as she replied, “I’m okay, Mom.”
She held onto Xiang Caiping as she walked forward. She felt happy that Xiang Caiping had stood up for her.
She was worried though. It had taken a long time before she had managed to get Xiang Caiping to stop thinking about the past.
Thanks to the fuss that Su Peizhen had kicked up, she was worried that Xiang Caiping would feel horrible and guilty about herself again. She would need a long time before she could recover from it again.
Qiu Junjiao and the rest were stunned by the turn of events. Everybody stared blankly at Xiang Caiping and her daughter.
Even Qiu Jinjiao, who had always been foul-mouthed, was dumbfounded by such a turn of events.
“All is good now that you are okay.” Xiang Caiping still couldn’t stomach the grievances. She turned her body quickly as she stared hard at Su Peizhen and said, “Miss Su, let me warn you. Qingsang is not an unwanted child. She is my most, most precious girl. Please pay attention to how you use your words in the future. I will not show mercy if there is a second time.”
She pulled Su Qingsang’s hand as she prepared to leave after speaking those words.
Su Qingsang retracted her hand, however, patted her on the shoulders, and walked to Su Peizhen.
“Su Peizhen! Firstly, I am not arrogant. I have always only done what I think I can and should do, whether it was in the past or now. Secondly, my greatest asset is myself, not Huo Jinyao.”
When she saw the five-fingered handprint on Su Peizhen’s face, her tone grew gentler as she said, “Lastly, although my mom hit you first, she did so because you insulted us first. Thus, let’s call it quits and let this matter end. I really hope that we can stop interfering with each other’s life. This is better for both of us, don’t you agree?”
After she said this, she held Xiang Caiping’s hand to leave.
Su Peizhen’s face was still swollen. The painful sensation of burning fire had kept her in shock.
