Chapter 352: Was That Woman Telling The Truth?
Xiang Caiping had hit her and humiliated Su Peizhen, who was very upset.
“Dad, I’m begging you to tell me that everything that woman said was untrue. Tell me. Please, just tell me.” Su Peizhen was getting a little emotional. She grabbed onto Su Chenghui’s arm and shook it, demanding an answer from him. “Dad, tell me. Tell me. She’s lying, isn’t she? Isn’t she?”
Su Chenghui was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that a situation like this would arise. Right now, he was shaken to his core.
How had things turned out this way? How had Su Qingsang bumped into Su Peizhen in Japan? It would actually have been fine if the two of them had just happened to run into each other. How had the scene developed into an altercation between Xiang Caiping and Su Peizheng?
Looking at Su Peizhen, Su Chenghui could not find any words. For the first time in at least a decade, his mind was overwhelmed.
He felt anxiety when things spiraled out of control like this, a type of anxiety that caused his brain to stop working altogether.
As he listened to Su Peizhen’s worried voice, he suddenly became very calm. His work at Li Corporation over the past twenty years was not going to be in vain. He did not work hard and bring up the Su family to its current station for nothing. If he could not process this situation and get it under control quickly, then was he really the man that he thought he was?
“Dad, tell me the truth.” When Su Peizhen realized that he was not replying, she became worried. Was what that woman said true? Could Su Peizhen’s mother have stolen Su Chenghui from Xiang Caiping?
“Peizhen, listen to me.” Su Chenghui grabbed onto Su Peizhen’s shoulders. His voice sounded composed. “Don’t worry about these matters. Let them go.”
“What?” Su Peizhen widened her eyes as she listened in disbelief. “Dad, what did you say?”
“I said, let these matters rest.”
“Dad.” Su Peizhen’s voice got higher. She could not believe that he was not going to deny the allegation. “What did you say? Say it once more.”
“I said—”
“So everything that woman said was true?” Su Peizhen could not let this go. “My mother really stole you from her?”
“Peizhen,” Su Chenghui frowned. He wanted to explain but Su Peizhen was reluctant to listen.
“Don’t talk to me.” She said as she shook her head. Whenever she thought about that woman, she recalled how she had been slapped. “Do you know that she hit me? She slapped me! You and mom never laid a finger on me, but that woman dared to hit me!”
“Peizhen—”
“So you don’t plan to punish the woman who bullied me? You want me to just let it go?” Su Peizhen took one huge step back while shaking her head incessantly. “All of that was true? You did not really love my mother? You’ve loved that woman all along?”
Su Chenghui furrowed his brows unconsciously. “Peizhen, it’s not what you think it is. Your mother and I, actually, you—”
“I’m not listening.” Su Peizhen could not stand to hear this anymore. She waved him off, her face full of despair. “Maybe that’s why she wanted to hit me, right?”
“Peizhen.” Su Peizhen’s altercation with Xiang Caiping had left Su Chenghui in a difficult spot.
“Dad.” Su Peizhen stepped forward and grabbed Su Chenghui’s hand with a surprisingly forceful grip. Her young, beautiful face reflected traces of anger and shock. “You want that woman to come back, don’t you? You’re planning on having her replace my mother, right? Am I right?”
