Chapter 365: God’s Will
Eventually, Su Chenghui’s worry lessened little by little as time passed. It was almost entirely gone in these recent years.
He was relishing this outcome, relishing Li Qianxue’s lack of awareness.
He was waiting. He had to live longer than Li Qianxue, for he was waiting for the day when Li Qianxue would be on her death bed — the moment when she would be about to depart from this world.
He would tell her. He would tell her that the daughter she had doted on all these years was actually the offspring of the woman she hated the most.
He would tell her that everything the Li family owned would eventually come as an inheritance to a child not of Li Qianxue’s blood.
He imagined Li Qianxue’s expression. He thought about the response she might have and thought about her anger and grief.
He felt that that was the only way he could feel true satisfaction from his act of vengeance.
However, Su Chenghui did not anticipate a huge variable that would show up in his plan for revenge.
First, Su Qingsang was married to Huo Jinyao. This gave her, a girl who was destined to live an ordinary life, splendid opportunities.
Second, Su Qingsang would bump into Xiang Caiping, which led Xiang Caiping to think that Su Qingsang might be her daughter.
These two things were outside the scope of Su Chenghui’s expectations — it was something he had never planned, nor something he could ever anticipate.
Initially, he thought that he would just let it be. If there was a misidentification, so be it. Xiang Caiping was not rich and Su Qingsang was already together with Huo Jinyao. Her appearance would not affect anything.
However, Su Chenghui never expected Xiang Caiping to hate Su Peizhen. She even set herself against Su Peizhen for Su Qingsang’s sake.
This was definitely not something Su Chenghui wanted to see, for he had already wronged Xiang Caiping. Moreover, Su Peizhen was the daughter he loved dearly.
How could he stand watching Xiang Caiping as she made life difficult for his own daughter?
Needless to say, he was afraid that Xiang Caiping would grow to hate Su Peizhen even more if Li Qianxue paid her a visit. That was something that he did not want to witness.
He kept grappling with the matter as if spellbound, thinking that Su Peizhen deserved the best, no matter in what aspect.
Li Qianxue was meant to treat Su Peizhen well. Xiang Caiping should too.
This was the purpose of his urgent visit today. No one else was aware of this, but he knew that Su Qingsang was actually Li Qianxue’s child.
Su Peizhen was Xiang Caiping’s daughter, and Xiang Caiping had slapped her for Su Qingsang’s sake. If she found out the truth in the future, what would she think?
Su Chenghui did not know what would happen, and he dared not think about it.
Things had spiraled out of control. He wanted to reveal the truth to Xiang Caiping, but he was afraid that she would not believe or accept it.
Perhaps he could try to convince Xiang Caiping to stay away from Su Peizhen and avoid finding fault with her?
Su Chenghui thought about it for a long time and finally came up with his excuse. However, he never imagined that the sight that greeted him upon his arrival would be one of a joyful family.
Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping looked like a proper mother and daughter pair. The atmosphere between them was one of harmony.
This, again, was out of Su Chenghui’s expectations. He kept thinking, should I say something? Should I reveal the truth?
If he did not say anything, Xiang Caiping would always bear a grudge to Su Peizhen and get closer to Qingsang. This was not what he wanted.
However, if he really revealed the truth, would this harmonious moment still be possible between Xiang Caiping and Su Qingsang?
The most important thing was, since Xiang Caiping was determined to identify her daughter, if she knew that Su Qingsang was not her daughter, would she seek out Su Peizhen instead?
Whether or not Su Peizhen could accept the truth was irrelevant. Su Chenghui was just afraid his entire plan for revenge would turn to dust then.
