Her eyes full of hostility, Li Qianxue glared at Su Chenghui. She looked at Su Chenghui, the man who had ruined most of her life. She had already tried all means to avoid him, but in the end, she found that there was no way to avoid him. 

  The two of them had a common child and shared common interests. It was almost impossible for her not to see Su Chenghui. 

  However, this did not mean that she had to accept Su Chenghui. 

  She lifted her foot and kicked Su Chenghui, who was still sleeping. 

  In the past, Li Qianxue would never have done such a rude thing, but now she was really too angry. 

  However, she had just woken up and drank quite a lot yesterday. This kick was really not very strong and did not kick Su Chenghui out of the bed at all. 

  When Su Chenghui opened his eyes, he saw Li Qianxue glaring at him with an angry expression. He had stripped her naked yesterday, and even the blanket couldn’t cover her body. 

  She was so busy being angry that she forgot to cover her body. 

  “Qianxue?” 

  With a familiar environment, a familiar aura, and a familiar person, for a moment, Su Chenghui thought that they hadn’t divorced yet and that they were still in their previous marriage. 

  “Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue looked at him with a cold expression on her face. She was very dissatisfied with his shameless behavior yesterday. “I really didn’t know that after the divorce, you could become so thick-skinned.” 

  Su Chenghui sat up. Li Qianxue’s words made him quickly remember everything that happened last night. 

  “Qianxue, I didn’t –” 

  “You didn’t what?” Li Qianxue sneered. “You didn’t sleep with me? Or you didn’t take advantage of me?” 

  He didn’t have s*x with her, but taking advantage of her- 

  Taking off her clothes and seeing her naked shouldn’t count, right? 

  Before Su Chenghui could explain himself, Li Qianxue had already slapped him in the face. 

  She had just woken up, so the force wasn’t that heavy, but this slap still made Su Chenghui’s face turn away. 

  “Qianxue, I didn’t –” 

  There was another slap. This time, it was on the other side of his face. Su Chenghui took two slaps in a row. He didn’t explain anymore and just looked at Li Qianxue. 

  Li Qianxue only realized what she had done in her anger after the slap. Her slightly numb palm was still hanging in the air. She withdrew her hand and stepped back a little. 

  The anger in her heart was released from her slap, but it didn’t dissipate. Especially when she saw her current situation. 

  Su Chenghui didn’t explain himself and didn’t Dodge to let her hit him. This made it impossible for her to vent the anger in her heart. 

  She glanced at him, turned around, and directly got off the bed. Her shoes had been taken off by Su Chenghui to the other side of the bed yesterday. There was a carpet in the room, so she couldn’t be bothered to put on her shoes and directly stepped on it. 

  Su Chenghui stood up and grabbed her hand. “Qianxue?” 

  “Let go of me.” 

  Su Chenghui looked at her face and said seriously, “Qianxue, I didn’t take advantage of you, nor did I do anything to you.” 

  Li Qianxue turned around to look at him. There were two faint five-finger prints on his face. She wasn’t very strong, so she believed that they would disappear in a while. 

  “You didn’t take advantage of me? Then you mean you want to tell me that Xiao Tao helped me take off my clothes?” 

  Su Chenghui choked and shook his head gently. “I took off your clothes, but I really didn’t –” 

  “Nothing? “Li Qianxue just stood there, 

  Even if Su Chenghui was unwilling, he saw her naked body now. He looked up and forced himself to focus on her face. “Qianxue, you know –” 

  Li Qianxue had been lying in the same bed with Su Chenghui all these years, and she had already given birth to two children. At this age, it was hard for her to be as shy as a little girl. 

  She felt angry because she hated Su Chenghui. Any contact with him was enough to make her angry. 

  Such emotions were very intense, and she couldn’t control them. 

  “Su Chenghui, do you think that I’m that cheap?” 

  “Qianxue? I told you, I didn’t –” 

  “Su Chenghui, do you think that because I once loved you, no matter what you say or do, I’ll forgive you?” 

  “Do you think that after so many years, I couldn’t get what I wanted from you, so when you’re willing to love me, when you’re willing to be with me, I have to be grateful? I have to wash myself immediately and agree to your request to start over?” 

  “I didn’t think so.” Su Chenghui wanted to explain, but Li Qianxue didn’t listen at all. 

  “It’s been 27 years, right? In 27 years, I haven’t been able to make you fall in love with me. I haven’t made you fall in love with me. In the end, after our divorce, you said that you fell in love with me. Do you think that I would believe you? Su Chenghui, do you think that I’m that stupid?” 

  Su Chenghui’s lips moved, and Li Qianxue withdrew her hand. “Actually, I really don’t want to talk about these things. You know how boring it is, right? It’s over when it’s over. It’s impossible.” 

  “It’s not something that can be changed if you’re good to me or if you work hard. I’ve tried hard, and I’ve been good to you, but my hard work hasn’t yielded any results, and I haven’t even had any good results. Now, do you think your hard work is useful?” 

  “I don’t think so.” Su Chenghui finally had the chance to speak. “I’ve said it. Even if you don’t forgive me for the rest of your life, even if you continue to hate me for the rest of your life, I don’t mind, because I owe you this. I just want to be by your side as much as possible. I want to do something within my power for you.” 

  “Don’t you understand? To me, the so-called ‘within my power’ is for you to stay away from me. The farther the better. If that’s the case, I’ll still thank you.” 

  “Qianxue?” Su Chenghui smiled bitterly. Among all the conditions, this was the only one that he could not agree to. 

  “Su Chenghui, I will say it again. Every time you appear, you remind me again, remind me of my past stupidity, remind me of my past blindness. Also, you remind me of the mistakes I have made. Don’t you understand?” 

  “You aren’t wrong. I am the one who was wrong.” Such a Li Qianxue made Su Chenghui’s heart ache. He took a step forward and wanted to say something, but Li Qianxue raised her hand. She took a step back. 

  “No. You weren’t wrong. I was the one who was wrong.” 

  At this moment, her clothes were disheveled, but the emotions in her eyes made him feel sad. 

  “The biggest mistake in my life is that I shouldn’t have fallen in love with you.” 

  Su Chenghui’s body trembled. He couldn’t say anything else. 

  “I’ve already paid a huge price for this mistake. So I’ve corrected this mistake now. Su Chenghui, I’m begging you. I’ve already led my life on the right track. Please stay away from me and let me walk on my own path. Can you do that?” 

  After saying that, she went straight into the bathroom. 

  His face pale, Su Chenghui was left sitting there. ……

  Perhaps it was because of what she said the other day that Li Qianxue didn’t see Su Chenghui for the next few days. 

  This made her more or less relieved. However, before she could completely relax, Wei Ting came. 

  During this period of time, Wei Ting had not come to look for her, but he had called a lot. She knew that Wei Ting had gone on a business trip, and his company was developing well. She could often see news of their company in the Finance section. 

  Although he did not come to look for her, his phone calls and messages did not stop. 

  “Dear Qianxue, I’m back.” 

  Wei Ting, holding a large bouquet of perfume lilies in his hand, entered her office like a child. 

  “Flowers for the beauty.” 

  He placed the bouquet in front of Li Qianxue, but she didn’t take it. “I don’t think I said I was free to see you?” 

  “But, you didn’t say you weren’t free.” 

  As Wei Ting spoke, he placed the bouquet of flowers on her desk. 

  Li Qianxue just wanted him to take the flowers away, but he raised his hands at this moment. “I haven’t seen you for so long, and you didn’t miss me?” 

  “No.” 

  “You really know how to hurt my feelings. Since you didn’t miss me, then I must do something to make you miss me.” 

  Li Qianxue looked at him in confusion. Wei Ting waved his hands in front of Li Qianxue. 

  “One, two, three, change.” 

  She didn’t know how he did it, but with a twist of his hand, an exquisite box appeared in his hand. 

  He put the box in front of her. “It’s a gift for you.” 

  “Wei Ting –” 

  Li Qianxue looked at the logo on the velvet box. She knew this brand, which was a relatively niche jewelry brand. Although it was niche, every accessory wasn’t cheap. 

  “Open it and see if you like it.” 

  Wei Ting ignored her refusal. He saw that Li Qianxue had no intention of opening the box. He took the initiative to open the box. 

  “I picked it out after a long time, and I think it suits you very well. Even if you don’t like it, you should take a look at it on account that I came all the way home and still wanted to bring you a gift, right?” 

  The box was opened to reveal the jewelry inside. 

  It was a very simple earring with two snowflakes, very small and delicate. It was inlaid with broken diamonds that were low-key and unique. 

  Li Qianxue had a lot of jewelry. As the President of the Li Corporation, not to mention the jewelry she used every time she went out, there was a room at home for the jewelry she received on her birthday. 

  But looking at this gift, then looking at Wei Ting, she was more or less touched by his kindness. 

  “Thank you.” 

  “It’s good that you like it.” Wei Ting picked up the pair of earrings and looked at Li Qianxue’s earlobe. “Can I help you wear it?” 

  “No need.” Li Qianxue subconsciously refused, but Wei Ting walked around the desk, picked up one of the earrings, and stood beside Li Qianxue. 

  “Whether it looks good or not, you have to wear it to know.” 

  After Wei Ting said so, Li Qianxue didn’t have time to refuse. He bent down and carefully put the earrings on her. 

  Li Qianxue was a little uncomfortable, but she couldn’t avoid his hands. 

  “It’s done.” 

  Wei Ting put it on, but he didn’t retreat back to the other side of the desk. Instead, his hands on both sides of the chair, he turned Li Qianxue’s chair and stared at her face. 

  “Qianxue, you look very beautiful.” 

  “Thank you.” Li Qianxue didn’t show much surprise at his compliment. She glanced at his hands on both sides of the armrest. “Can you let go first?” 

  “No.” Wei Ting lowered his body and looked at her. “Qianxue, I like you. You know that, right?” 

  “Wei Ting –” 

  “Although I know it’s a bit shameless to say this, I still have to say it. Qianxue, can you give me a chance to pursue you?” 

  His gaze was very serious. Li Qianxue wanted to refuse, but Wei Ting put a finger on her lips. 

  “During my business trip, I went to many places and negotiated several contracts. If it was before, I would feel a sense of accomplishment and happiness. But this time, my sense of accomplishment is very low, and my happiness is even lower.” 

  His face leaned forward a little. “Do you know why?” 

  He didn’t need Li Qianxue’s answer. He just wanted to tell her, “Because I didn’t have you, and I missed you very much.” 

  “Wei Ting –” Towards someone who was so much younger than her, Li Qianxue almost wanted to treat him as her junior. When he said such words in front of her, it would be false to say that it didn’t touch her. 

  But because she was touched, she knew that she was only touched, not in love. She pulled his hand away. Her tone was very light, but her attitude was very firm. 

  “You will meet better women in the future.” 

  “Maybe.” Wei Ting nodded. “But those women aren’t you.” 

  “Wei Ting, don’t be like this.” 

  “Qianxue, I know your concerns, and I also know your thoughts. Can I settle for the second best? Give me a chance to pursue you. If you really can’t fall in love with me in the end, I promise not to pester you, how about it?” 

  Wei Ting was not bad-looking, and he could even be said to be handsome. He had a pair of beautiful eyes. When he stared at her seriously, she could see her own shadow in them. 

  Facing such a Wei Ting, it was really difficult for Li Qianxue to refuse, but it was only very difficult. 

  “Since you know that there will be no result, why waste time?” She really did not want to hurt him, but there were some things that she knew better than him. “I won’t ever love you. No matter how long you pursue me, it will be the same.” 

  “You won’t love me because of Su Chenghui? What’s so good about him? He’s older than me, and I believe that his physical strength isn’t as good as mine. Also, he, yes, he has already divorced you.” 

  Hearing his words, Li Qianxue was so surprised that she wanted to laugh. 

  Su Chenghui was indeed older than Wei Ting, but she knew that his physical strength was definitely not bad, just from the day he played with her. 

  On the surface, they were tied, but she knew that Su Chenghui did not use his full strength. 

  She wondered how Su Chenghui would react if he found out one day that he was called old. He must have a very good look on his face. 

  Realizing that she was actually absent-minded, Wei Ting’s face was suddenly filled with grievance. “Qianxue? Did I say something wrong?” 

  “Wei Ting.” Li Qianxue looked at him as if she was looking at a child. “You’re not wrong. I did divorce him, but it’s because I’m already divorced that I’m not afraid to tell you. I’m old and tired. I can’t fall in love anymore. 

  “You’re still young. You’re different from me. You have the chance to love a younger, better girl. I’m not suitable for you.” 

  “I don’t want a younger and better girl.” Wei Ting hugged Li Qianxue as he spoke and pressed his face against her shoulder. “I only want you.” 

  “But I don’t want you.” Li Qianxue did not push him away. She only patted his back. “Don’t say that you’re willing to wait for me. It’s very tiring to have feelings that you can’t get back after a long period of time. You won’t be able to stand it after a long time.” 

  “I won’t –” 

  “Wei Ting, my life experience tells me not to be too full of yourself.” 

  Don’t be too decisive, don’t be too full of yourself. These words were actually said by Old Master Li. 

  She didn’t understand it before, but later she realized that these words really made sense. 

  “My life experience tells me that if I want it, I have to fight for it. No matter what the result is, at least I won’t regret it.” 

  As expected of a young man, he could say such irresponsible words. 

  Li Qianxue pushed him away, and stood up from the chair. “I’ve accepted the gift, and I’ve also accepted the flowers. I thank you. But I still have some business to attend to, so I’ll have to trouble Mr. Wei to leave first. After all, if you don’t leave, it’ll be my turn to regret it.” 

  “Qianxue?” 

  “I really have something on. Can you leave now?” 

  “You’ve received my gifts and my flowers. Can’t you at least have a meal with me?” 

  “I can’t today.” She had a lot of work to do. Although she wasn’t in a hurry, it was Yuxin’s birthday next week. 

  In the past, no matter where she was or how busy she was, she would always accompany her two children to celebrate their birthdays. Every year, she would hold a party for the two children’s birthdays. 

  This year, Yuxin was studying outside. He was studying for two degrees at the same time. She didn’t want him to be too tired, so she decided to fly to the imperial capital to visit him. 

  However, she didn’t want to tell Wei Ting about this because she really didn’t want Wei Ting to follow her on a whim. 

  “Qian Xue.” Wei Ting was really aggrieved. “You just don’t want to give me a chance.” 

  “Yes, I just don’t want to give you a chance, so don’t waste your time on me.” 

  As soon as Wei Ting got off the plane today, he ran over excitedly to look for Li Qianxue. He didn’t expect to get such an outcome. 

  No matter what, he was still a man. At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed. After looking at Li Qianxue for a long time, he was the last one to turn around and leave quickly. 

  After he left, Li Qianxue shook her head. A young man was indeed a young man. 

  His emotions were reflected on his face. He smiled when he was happy, and his face was cold when he was unhappy. It was so good to be young. ……

  In the North District, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. The approval procedures were surprisingly smooth because President Chen and Li Junsheng were there. 

  For such a large project, the construction ceremony had to be picked on a good day. Li Qianxue didn’t interfere too much in these matters. 

  Yang Rong brought over the dates set by Tianyu Group and Su Chenghui’s company. 

  One of them was set by Tianyu Group, which happened to be the two days around Su Yuxin’s birthday. Li Qianxue crossed out this date. She picked a week after Su Yuxin’s birthday for the groundbreaking ceremony. 

  She asked Yang Rong to book a plane ticket for her while she arranged all the work on her hands. She planned to take a few days off to spend time with her son. 

  To be serious, ever since Su Qingsang came back, her attention was mostly on her daughter. She had neglected her son a lot in the past year. 

  Li Qianxue couldn’t sit still when she thought about it. She bought a lot of gifts in Lin City. Then, two days before Su Yuxin’s birthday, she boarded a plane to visit Su Yuxin. 

  Su Yuxin had been in university for a year. The imperial university required students to live on campus during the first year, but they could choose whether or not to live on campus afterwards. 

  With the Li family’s financial resources, Li Qianxue wouldn’t let her son live in the dormitory with others. 

  She had already bought a house near the imperial university to make it convenient for Su Yuxin to go to school. She also hired a special nanny to take care of him. 

  After getting off the plane, the car that was arranged beforehand sent her directly to Su Yuxin’s apartment. 

  Li Qianxue took the keys that her son had prepared before returning to Lin City and entered the door. She didn’t expect to see a person who shouldn’t be here in her son’s apartment.

  Chapter 721: Chapted 011: You Don’t Deserve To Be A Father

  Li Qianxue came over these few days to focus on spending time with her son, so she didn’t ask her assistant to follow her. She came alone. 

  In front of her was a suitcase in one hand and a present for Su Yuxin in the other. 

  The moment she saw Su Chenghui, the present in her hand almost fell to the ground. For a moment, she suspected that he had bribed Yang Rong. Otherwise, how would he know that she was coming? 

  Su Chenghui really didn’t follow her on purpose. He came to the capital to discuss a cooperation case. Then, because Su Yuxin’s birthday was coming up, he came over to see him. 

  Because Su Yuxin’s residence was not far from the city, he did not stay in a hotel. Instead, he stayed directly at Su Yuxin’s place. 

  At this moment, he was holding a document bag in his hand. Dressed in a suit and tie, he looked like he was about to leave the room. 

  When he saw Li Qianxue enter the room, he stopped in his tracks. It was as if he did not expect Li Qianxue to come. 

  The two of them stood in the spacious living room and looked at each other. 

  “Why are you here?” 

  After Li Qianxue finished asking, she realized that she had asked a stupid question. 

  Before the divorce, Su Yuxin had already decided to come to the Capital to attend university. Then, she and Su Chenghui chose this house together. 

  The residential area was good, the property was good, and it was also close to the Imperial University. Even if Su Yuxin would only study here for a few years, the two of them had done their homework when they first came here in order to let their son live comfortably. 

  After the house was bought, the renovation was done by the people from the renovation company according to Su Yuxin’s favorite style. 

  After that, Li Qianxue also came here a few times. Every time she came to see her son, she lived here. As for Su Chenghui, she had never met him once. 

  “I came to see Yuxin.” 

  The corners of Li Qianxue’s lips curled up, and there was mockery in her eyes. Her gaze fell on the document bag in Su Chenghui’s hand. She didn’t say anything else, but carried her luggage into the door. 

  She brought the gift for her son to his room. She was about to go to the guest room with her clothes when she realized that the guest room had been occupied by Su Chenghui. Her expression was a little ugly. 

  The location of the house where Su Yuxin went to school wasN’t bad, and the size of the house was also good, but there was one thing. 

  Back then, Li Qianxue wanted her son to live more comfortably, so she connected the two houses into one. The place was big, but there were only three rooms. 

  One was used as Su Yuxin’s master bedroom, one was a guest room, and one was a study room. There were no more rooms. 

  Li Qianxue looked at the overly spacious living room outside, and her face didn’t look good. 

  Su Chenghui didn’t leave. He followed Li Qianxue to the door of the guest room. Of course, he also saw the suitcase that he put in the room 

  “You can stay here. I’ll squeeze in with Yuxin.” 

  Li Qianxue turned around to look at him. The corners of her lips were slightly cold. “I’d prefer you stay in a hotel.” 

  She was here to celebrate Su Yuxin’s birthday. Why would Su Chenghui come to join in the fun? 

  “Qianxue.” Su Chenghui seemed very helpless. “I’m also Yuxin’s father.” 

  “Ha. Yes, I know.” Li Qianxue crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her expression wasn’t worried. “If you weren’ the father of two children, do you think you would still be standing here?” 

  Su Chenghui wasn’t angry at her words. He went into his room and began to pack up his things. 

  He had only been here for two days, so he didn’t have too many things. He packed up his things and carried his suitcase to Su Yuxin’s room. 

  While he was doing these things, Li Qianxue had been watching him. She did not have any expression on her face, but it was clear that she was very unhappy, very unhappy. 

  Su Chenghui finished packing and was about to leave. He looked at his watch. “Qianxue, I’m going out for a while. You –” 

  “If you want to leave, then leave. I don’t need you to care about me.” 

  Su Chenghui actually wanted to stay, but he was here on business. After thinking about it, he decided to leave first. 

  After he left, Li Qianxue’s expression didn’t look much better. During this period of time, there were many things to do in the company. She also wanted to use this opportunity to rest for a few days. 

  Now that she saw Su Chenghui, she couldn’t help but feel angry. She had a feeling that her vacation was ruined. 

  Damn it. ……

  Su Yuxin was very busy with his homework. After the afternoon class, he brushed off playing with his friend and went home. 

  However, he didn’t expect to see his mother instead of his father when he pushed open the door. 

  “Mom? Why are you here?” 

  “I’m here to see you.” Facing her son, Li Qianxue restrained her emotions no matter how much she felt. 

  Speaking of which, she didn’t have a smooth time giving birth to two children. When she gave birth to Su Qingsang for the first time, the fetus wasn’t in the right position. It took her a long time to give birth to the child. 

  It was even more so when she gave birth to Su Yuxin. At that time, her relationship with Su Chenghui was ice-cold. She had too many emotional ups and downs when she was pregnant. Now, she didn’t forget that when Su Yuxin was just born, his body was thinner and smaller than that of the average child. 

  In the blink of an eye, her son had grown so big. In the blink of an eye, he was already in university. 

  “Where’s my dad?” Su Yuxin glanced into the room. He could not find Su Chenghui. 

  “Who knows.” Li Qianxue did not want to mention Su Chenghui. “Yuxin, it’s your birthday in a few days. Mom bought you a lot of presents. Also, didn’t you say that you liked the Aston Martin you saw last time? The car will be delivered tomorrow in your favorite white color.” 

  “Mom, there’s no need. I already have a car.” Su Yuxin had a headache. It was fine if he had gone to school in Lin City. Now that he had come to the capital, did she want him to drive a sports car to class? 

  “How is it exaggerated?” Li Qianxue adjusted her son’s collar. “If you like it, just drive it. It’s just a car.” 

  Su Yuxin decided not to discuss this issue with Li Qianxue. For Li Qianxue, ever since the divorce, she wanted to treat her two children twice as well. 

  “Mom, when did you arrive? Have you eaten yet?” 

  “I ate some lunch outside. I was waiting to have dinner with you.” 

  When Li Qianxue heard that Su Yuxin was hungry, she immediately looked at the time. “It’s late. Yuxin, you’re hungry, right? Come, let’s eat. I checked when I came. There are a few good restaurants near Capital University.” 

  “Mom.” Su Yuxin was a little hesitant. “I promised to have dinner with Dad tonight.” 

  Li Qianxue’s expression suddenly became awkward. The last thing she wanted to hear now was anything related to Su Chenghui. 

  “Let’s go eat. Don’t worry about him. Give him a call and tell him to settle it outside.” 

  “Mom.” Su Yuxin had a headache. 

  Ever since he was young, Su Chenghui had indeed put the most effort into Su Peizhen, but he was a boy. He wouldn’t say that he was envious of his sister. 

  Another thing was that Su Chenghui was actually very good to him. His relationship with Su Chenghui was pretty good. 

  “It’s decided then. Give him a call……” 

  Li Qianxue was halfway through her sentence when she saw the gloomy look on her son’s face. She swallowed the rest of her words. 

  What was she doing? Forcing her son to break off his relationship with Su Chenghui? Forcing her son to disown Su Chenghui? 

  Even if she divorced Su Chenghui, it was still between her and Su Chenghui. Why did she have to involve her son? 

  “Forget it.” Li Qianxue waved her hand and sat back on the sofa. “Ask him where he is.” 

  In a fit of anger, she originally wanted to let Su Yuxin and Su Chenghui have dinner together. She would rather starve than have dinner with Su Chenghui. 

  However, for the sake of the child, she didn’t want to do this. These were separate matters. She couldn’t vent her anger on the child because of what Su Chenghui had done. 

  “Mom.” Su Yuxin knew that ever since Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui divorced, she had never liked him. “If you really don’t want to see dad, why don’t we have dinner together and let him solve it himself?” 

  “That’s enough.” Li Qianxue patted the back of Su Yuxin’s hand. “Do you think I don’t know you? If I really did that, you probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.” 

  Su Yuxin didn’t refute. Su Yuxin was the father, and Li Qianxue was the mother. 

  He really didn’t want their relationship to be too strained. It was a pity that he didn’t have the ability to resolve the tension in front of him. ……

  When Li Qianxue and her son arrived at the restaurant that she had booked beforehand, Su Chenghui hadn’t arrived yet. It was better if he didn’t come. They could have a good chat. 

  Although they had video calls, and they often contacted each other, it was different to see her son with her own eyes. 

  “Why do you seem a little thin? Is it because your schoolwork is too heavy? You’re overworking yourself.” 

  “How am I overworking myself? Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Su Yuxin picked up the teapot on the table and poured Li Qianxue some tea. As for the topic of him losing weight, he didn’t reply. Usually, a mother would feel like her child had lost weight as long as she didn’t see him every few days. 

  “It’s good that you know what you’re doing.” 

  Li Qianxue came to celebrate Su Yuxin’s birthday this time. “Yuxin, how do you want to celebrate your birthday? You should have good friends in university, right? Why don’t I book a place for you to hold a party and you invite all your classmates and professors over?” 

  “Mom, there’s no need –” Su Yuxin was only halfway through his words when the door of the private room was opened. 

  Su Chenghui came. He was stunned when he saw Li Qianxue. He thought she didn’t want to see him. 

  Li Qianxue really didn’t want to see him. When he entered the room, she turned her gaze away without any intention of looking at him. 

  The atmosphere in the private room was inexplicably awkward. At this time, Su Yuxin stood up to smooth things over. 

  “Dad, you’re here? You haven’t eaten yet, have you? The dishes are ready. If you’re here, I’ll ask them to serve the dishes.” 

  He rang the bell and asked the waiter to serve the dishes. Su Yuxin thought for a moment and asked Su Chenghui to sit on the other side of him. With him around, separating the two of them might reduce the awkwardness. 

  However, this way, since Li Qianxue was originally looking at him, naturally she could see Su Chenghui. 

  As for Su Chenghui, his gaze never left Li Qianxue. 

  “Dad, are you done with your work?” 

  “Yes.” His face finally showing some relief, Su Chenghui nodded. “It’s going well. I’ll be fine by tomorrow or the day after.” 

  Su Yuxin’s birthday was the day after tomorrow, and it happened to be Saturday. “What gift do you want, Yuxin? I’ll give it to you.” 

  “No need, I don’t need anything.” 

  “Last time, didn’t you say that you like the Aston Martin V12 Vantage? How about I order one for you?” 

  Su Chenghui remembered seeing the picture of the V12 Vantage on his son’s Wechat moments. 

  “No need.” This time, it was Li Qianxue who spoke up. Her face was gloomy, and there was a storm gathering in her eyes. “I’ve already bought the car for my son. You don’t have to give it to him.” 

  When Li Qianxue spoke, there was a flash of mockery in her eyes. “You have to ask before giving someone a gift. It’s clear that you don’t take the children seriously. However, you’ve always been like this. For so many years, apart from seeing you put in great effort to prepare Su Peizhen’s gifts, when have you taken the birthdays of the other two children seriously?” 

  “Mother.” 

  Su Yuxin didn’t expect Li Qianxue to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble. It wasn’t as exaggerated as Li Qianxue said, but relatively speaking, Su Chenghui was a little harsh on him, but this was only because he was a boy, so he understood. 

  “Qianxue.” Su Chenghui didn’t know what he could say. He came from an ordinary background, so his achievements today were all due to his own hard work. 

  He had never advocated doting on children. Even the gifts given to Su Peizhen in the past weren’t necessarily very valuable. They were all things that they could use on a daily basis. 

  After all, with Li Qianxue and Old Master Li at home, the children usually had enough. 

  However, he didn’t expect that Li Qianxue would actually understand such things in this way. 

  “I have taken the childrens’ birthdays to heart. I didn’t buy a car at that time because Yuxin is currently studying here. if he really needed it, it would be the same if I buy one in Lin City.” 

  “There’s a time and place for giving a gift. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just about you not caring?” 

  “He’s just studying here. It’s not appropriate for him to drive a sports car every day.” 

  “Look at what you’re saying. What’s wrong with my son driving a sports car? Those C-list celebrities drive sports cars all over the street. There’s no reason why Yuxin can’t do it, right?” 

  “That’s not what I meant at all.” Su Chenghui did not want to quarrel with Li Qianxue, nor did he understand where her anger came from. “I’m saying that Yuxin is still in school.” 

  Su Yuxin knew why Li Qianxue was angry. However, before he could speak, Li Qianxue’s face had already darkened and was rather ugly. 

  “Su Chenghui. When Su Peizhen celebrated her eighteenth birthday, you bought her a Ferrari. Do you want me to tell you?” 

  “I……” 

  “After so many years, how did you treat Su Peizhen? How did you treat Yuxin and Qingsang? Do you want me to tell you one by one?” 

  The atmosphere in the private room dropped to freezing point. Su Yuxin felt a headache coming on. “Dad, Mom, stop fighting.” 

  Li Qianxue couldn’t stay any longer. “Fight? Who wants to fight with him? Look at him. How is he acting like your father? He didn’t even prepare a present for your birthday. Is this how he acts like a father?” 

  She couldn’t go on and felt frustrated. She stood up and was about to leave. 

  Su Yuxin quickly pulled her back. “Mom, calm down. It’s not that exaggerated. Dad came to prepare a present for me two days ago. It’s true.” 

  “What? He randomly picked a watch? Did he ever care about you? Did he ever care about Qingsang?” 

  Li Qianxue wasn’t a person who liked to dig up old debts. She came out today because she wanted to have a good meal with her son. However, Su Chenghui’s attitude just now really made her angry. “Look at how he treats Su Peizhen, and how he treats you and Qingsang. He doesn’t deserve to be a father.” 

  “Mom.” Su Yuxin was really a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would have let Su Chenghui eat outside. “Dad isn’t like what you said. He’s usually very good to me. You know that.” 

  Su Yuxin really didn’t think this was a big deal. He had allowance on a daily basis, and Old Master Li and Li Qianxue wouldn’t let their child suffer. 

  Earlier, he and Su Peizhen had both learned to invest themselves. He would buy whatever he wanted. He didn’t understand why Li Qianxue was so angry. 

  Or maybe he knew, but he really didn’t think it was necessary. 

  “Mom, you’re here to accompany me, right? Can we have a good meal together?” 

  Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. Looking at her son’s face, she finally sat down again. 

  At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Li Qianxue ordered Su Yuxin’s favorite dishes. No matter how capable she was outside, she really doted on her two children. 

  At this moment, she didn’t want to mess around with Su Chenghui anymore. She kept putting food in Su Yuxin’s bowl. However, from the beginning to the end, she didn’t look at Su Chenghui. 

  After all, she didn’t want Su Yuxin to worry. He felt very suffocated during the meal, but he still had to force a smile on his face. 

  This made Li Qianxue feel very uncomfortable. Finally, after the meal, Su Chenghui got up and she shot daggers at him. ……

  That night, after ending the video call with Su Qingsang, she called Old Master Li again. Li Qianxue went out of the room to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. 

  When she walked out of the room, she saw Su Chenghui sitting on the sofa. He was holding a cigarette in his hand, but he didn’t light it. He just held it in his hand. 

  Li Qianxue stopped in her tracks. “If you want to smoke, go out and smoke. Don’t pollute the air here.” 

  “I don’t smoke.” Su Chenghui did want to use the tobacco to let himself relax for a while, but it was just a thought. 

  He threw the cigarette into the trash can and stood up to look at Li Qianxue. 

  “Qianxue, I don’t want to smoke.” 

  He didn’t understand why he explained so carefully. Li Qianxue didn’t care about this anyway. “Just don’t smoke in this room. You don’t have to tell me. You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me.” 

  “Qianxue.” Su Chenghui took two steps forward and stood in front of her. He looked at her face with a hint of pain in his eyes. “I’m not careless. Whether it’s Yuxin or Qingsang, they’re all my children. I……” 

  “They’re all your children. So? On Su Peizhen’s birthdays, you hold parties every year. Every year, you invite a group of people to celebrate her birthday. Every year, you prepare birthday gifts for her. What about the other two?” 

  “Qianxue.” 

  Su Chenghui’s expression was bitter. “It’s not fair for you to criticize me like this, because you’re the one who wanted to hold a party for Peizhen. Don’t you remember? I tried to stop you a long time ago. You were the one who insisted on celebrating her birthday.” 

  “Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue was furious. “How dare you mention it? Why shouldn’t I celebrate? That’s because I thought she was my child. As the granddaughter of the Li family, of course she can enjoy the treatment she deserves.” 

  “But what about you? What did you do? All these years, Qingsang and Su Peizhen’s birthdays were only one day apart. What about Qingsang? Have you ever cared?” 

  Su Chenghui couldn’t refute her, but at this moment, he understood one thing. 

  Perhaps what Li Qianxue hated the most wasn’t that he didn’t love her, but because, “Qianxue, you hate me because you think that I mistreated my two children?” 

  “Do you dare to say that you did not? Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue’s expression turned cold, and her gaze became extremely sharp. “Do you dare to say that you did not mistreat your two children?”
