Chapter 372: Teach her a lesson
Lin City was in the depths of winter; the temperature had plummeted. Patients lined the corridors of the hospital and doctors and nurses hurried along to attend to their tasks.
Compared to them, Li Qianxue stood out the most.
Li Qianxue wore a white woolen coat, her hair was tied in a bun, and her makeup was impeccably sophisticated. Her features were beautiful and she looked barely past her thirties.
Even though she walked briskly, her strides were very elegant. She was the epitome of Lin City’s high-society; the paragon of a privileged lady.
No matter when or where she was seen, she always exuded grace and elegance, and there was a look of refinement on her face.
However, at this moment, her disposition reflected displeasure.
No, displeasure was an understatement. She looked livid.
Just as Su Qingsang was wondering whether she could avoid the wrath, Li Qianxue had already spotted her.
Li Qianxue had not only spotted her, but she was heading straight for her.
Su Qingsang sighed woefully in her heart. If it were a misfortune, it could not be avoided.
Li Qianxue had a reputation to maintain, so it was not very likely that she would create a scene here. Su Qingsang thought about that for a moment before stepping forward to receive her.
“Auntie? Are you here to look for me?”
Li Qianxue stood firm and her gaze swept over Su Qingsang. In her line of sight were a long white coat and a face that fully resembled Su Chenghui in his younger years.
The sight of this face made her uncomfortable. She felt resentful. The daughter she had given birth to did not resemble her or Su Chenghui.
However, Xiang Caiping’s daughter bore an uncanny resemblance to Su Chenghui. Li Qianxue’s grip on her purse tightened slightly and her expression turned sour.
“Auntie?” Regardless of the circumstances, Su Qingsang had lived with the Su Family for many years, so she naturally knew that Li Qianxue was not fond of her. “Come, let us talk in my office.”
Her office was a level above, and it was not exclusively hers. She shared it with the other doctors, but at this time, it was supposed to be empty.
Leading Li Qianxue into her office, Su Qingsang did a quick scan of their surroundings.
“Please have a seat.” Su Qingsang watched as Li Qianxue entered the room but kept her personal assistant outside. She sighed again in her heart. “Auntie, would you like a glass of water?”
She felt a little silly after asking the question. Li Qianxue definitely did not come here for a drink today.
“That won’t be necessary; I’m not here to drink water.” Li Qianxue possessed a steely disposition and her tone of voice was icy.
Su Qingsang was a little embarrassed; she seemed to recall that Li Qianxue never drank filtered water from public places.
“Auntie, do you have something to talk to me about?” When facing Li Qianxue, Su Qingsang did not have the audacity to suggest that Li Qianxue was here to see her because she was ill. That would be asking for her own death.
Li Qianxue observed that Su Qingsang was feeling uncomfortable, and the corners of her mouth tightened.
Honestly speaking, she really did not like Su Qingsang, but no matter how much she disliked her, she would not make things difficult for her out of spite.
After all, she did not want to implicate the next generation with the conflicts of the previous one. However, Su Qingsang increasingly resembled Su Chenghui as she grew, and this caused Li Qianxue to despise her more.
At this thought, Li Qianxue’s demeanor became increasingly hostile. “I heard that you went to Japan a while ago.”
The edges of Su Qingsang’s mouth moved involuntarily. Li Qianxue’s question was what she had expected to hear.
“Yes, I did.” Su Qingsang nodded lightly, her voice strangely thin and lacking confidence.
“You were there with your mother?” Li Qianxue took a step forward.
“Yes.” The fact was that Su Qingsang did not fear Li Qianxue was at odds with her vivid memories of Li Qianxue over the years, which had left a deep impression on her and which were causing her some trepidation.
“You encountered Peizhen in Japan?” Li Qianxue took another step forward.
“…that is right,” Su Peizhen must have told Li Qianxue about the slap she had gotten.
Su Qingsang was worried that Li Qianxue would not be able to bear such an affront and had come here today to find trouble with her.
