Chapter 712: You’re Not Planning To Give Him A Chance, Are You
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Li Qianxue looked at Wei Ting. She could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
“No need. I don’t need you to worry about me and him. If you have nothing to do, please go ahead.”
“Tsk, Qianxue, you’re not planning to give that unfaithful man a chance, are you?”
If that was the case, Wei Ting would really vomit to death. Just think about Su Chenghui, an “od man.” Even if he looked younger than his peers, how could he be as young and energetic as him?
Not to mention other things, he was also more handsome than Su Chenghui, right? Wei Ting thought rather immodestly.
“Does it have anything to do with you?” Li Qianxue looked at Wei Ting. With such a suitor who was more than ten years younger than her, who didn’t know how to take a hint and didn’t know when to retreat, she really a headache. “Don’t make trouble here. Let’s go.”
“Qianxue.” Wei Ting wasn’t a thin-skinned person. He put half of his body on the table and looked at Li Qianxue. His eyes were bright. “Good sister, just give me a chance. You see, you don’t like him and don’t plan to give him a chance, right? Then isn’t it good to use me to anger him?”
“Wei Ting, aren’t you too bored?” It was the first time Li Qianxue met such a slick person. She didn’t even have a chance to fire back him. “Do I need you to anger him?”
“That’s not how it is. I can do twice the work with half the effort.”As Wei Ting spoke, he turned around to open the door.
Li Qianxue didn’t have time to stop him. Su Chenghui and Yang Rong appeared in front of her just like that.
Su Chenghui really came to look for Li Qianxue today, but he didn’t expect to see Wei Ting in Li Qianxue’s office.
Li Qianxue’s suitor was a younger and more vigorous man than him. His expression became a little ugly.
He knew that he had no position in Li Qianxue’s heart, but he refused to give up now. He was determined to make a last struggle. He really knew what he wanted.
But even if he knew, he knew that all his efforts were futile. Just like the past year or so, he had been working hard.
But no matter how hard he tried, Li Qianxue’s heart was as hard as a knife, and she always refused to give him a chance.
But Wei Ting was different. He was young and energetic. It seemed that he didn’t mind that Li Qianxue got married, and was even a grandmother.
In this way, Su Chenghui’s sense of alarm was very strong. Even if he knew clearly that even without Wei Ting, Li Qianxue might not forgive him.
But with such a person around, the difficulty would undoubtedly increase.
“President Li, President Su said he has something –”
Yang Rong stood at the back. In this situation, he didn’t know whether or not he should stop him or how to.
“You go out first.” After saying that, Li Qianxue looked at Wei Ting, but he didn’t answer. Instead, he walked in front of Su Chenghui.
“Tsk, I must say, aren’t you guys divorced? Why are you so shameless? Can’t you tell that Qianxue doesn’t want to see you?”
Su Chenghui was getting older. Although he wasn’t as sharp as Wei Ting, his aura wasn’t inferior to others.
“En, she doesn’t want to see me. Could it be that she wants to see you?”
“…” Wei Ting choked. He almost choked on his own saliva. “Su Chenghui, you –”
“Did I say something wrong?”
There was no more to say. Just these words were enough to make Wei Ting fl.u.s.tered and exasperated. He, wanting her to stand up for him, couldn’t help but turn around to look at Li Qianxue.
Li Qianxue had a headache. How could she have the time to pay attention to him?
“Stop fooling around.”
Wei Ting wasn’t really immature. When Li Qianxue looked at him like she was looking at a child, he didn’t feel good at all.
The way he looked at Li Qianxue was full of grievance. In fact, he wasn’t young anymore. He was more than 30 years old, but Li Qianxue was older than him.
For some reason, she felt like an elder. Seeing him like this, she couldn’t bear it.
“Forget it, you go back first. I’ll look for you next time, okay?”
When Wei Ting heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. “You said it? Then let’s have dinner together?”
“No, I have an social engagement tonight. Let’s do it tomorrow.”
His face unable to conceal his joy, Wei Ting nodded. “Okay, you said it. I’ll come and pick you up tomorrow.”
He threw this sentence and glanced at Su Chenghui like a victor before leaving.
Yang Rong stood at the door and closed it after he left. He thought to himself that the boss’s charm really wasn’t small. Not only did she make her ex-husband reluctant to let heer go, but she also mesmerized this new upstart of Lin City, President Wei.
Su Chenghui’s facial expression didn’t look good, especially when Wei Ting gave him a provocative look when he left. It made him even more uncomfortable.
And Li Qianxue actually agreed to go on a date with Wei Ting. Although he couldn’t control it, he still felt as if his possesion was going to be s.n.a.t.c.hed away.
Even if Li Qianxue was no longer his. He couldn’t control it.
“Wei Ting isn’t a good match. You should stay away from him.”
As soon as he said those words with a slightly lecturing tone, he knew that he had said the wrong thing. Sure enough, Li Qianxue, who was sitting behind the desk, raised her head at this time with a cold and mocking look in her eyes.
“He isn’t a good match, then you are?”
Su Chenghui was at a loss for words. Looking at the beautiful face that hadn’t aged much with time, he felt his teeth ache.
“He is so much younger than you. He doesn’t look reliable and level headed. If you really want to find someone, choose someone who looks more honest.”
In any case, he didn’t like this Wei Ting. No, it should be said that he didn’t like any man who was close to Li Qianxue.
“You were honest, but what happened in the end?”
Back then, when she was with Su Chenghui, Old Master Li had never objected. After all, Su Chenghui looked very honest and reliable back then.
But how did Su Chenghui repay him?
Su Chenghui was at a loss for words. He couldn’t go on after saying this.
His face was a little gloomy. He took a few steps forward and looked at Li Qianxue with a flash of regret in his eyes.
In fact, this feeling of regret came to his mind from time to time after he knew that he had fallen in love with Li Qianxue.
The longer it took, the more uncomfortable he felt.
“Qianxue, I already know my mistake. Can you give me a chance?”
Seeing the pain on his face, Li Qianxue looked up at him. She only felt happy. “Yes, you know your mistake. Murderers also know their mistake after they are in prison, but is it useful? The person is already dead.”
Su Chenghui’s face turned pale. He had nothing to say in response to Li Qianxue’s words. Li Qianxue felt bored. This was really boring.
In the past, Su Chenghui could casually say something that made her feel uncomfortable and heartbroken. Now that the roles were reversed, she didn’t have much of a sense of accomplishment.
If she was happy and gleeful, it could only prove that she still cared about this man. Since she didn’t care anymore, why did she have to say more?
“If you have something to say to me, just say it. I still have a meeting later.”
Her impatient tone made Su Chenghui depressed. She was really getting more and more impatient with him now.
“I’m here for the latest project of the Li Corporation.”
Su Chenghui was serious. When he talked about business, he was always very serious. “I’ve received accurate news. The North District isn’t planned to be a business area. If the Li Corporation decides to build a residential building there, it’s already not suitable.”
Li Qianxue leaned against the back of her chair gently. She raised her head and looked at Su Chenghui.
“You came because of this?”
“Yes.”Su Chenghui nodded. “The vacant land in the North District was auctioned off last week. The other party wants to build a factory there. If you build a residential building at this time, it is very inappropriate.”
“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue didn’t look nervous. “I’ve already asked about the planning. The result was similar to yours. However, I have an appointment with Mayor Li tonight. So, I thank you for your kindness.”
Li Junsheng was Huo Jinyao’s childhood friend. He would still give face to the Li family.
Besides, it was just a piece of land. The Li Corporation had auctioned off a lot of land. This project only had a suitable plan. If there wasn’t one, it wasn’t impossible to change it to something else.
Su Chenghui looked at the confidence and certainty in Li Qianxue’s eyes, and his heart trembled slightly.
Whether it was more than 20 years ago or now, Li Qianxue’s appearance was extremely eye-catching.
She emitted radiance. Her charm had nothing to do with her age, but it was the confidence that radiated from within.
He smiled bitterly in his heart. How could he have forgotten? She was Li Qianxue, not an ordinary woman.
The Li Corporation had come this far thanks to her, so how could she not have a way to deal with it?
“I’m not trying to meddle in your business.” Su Chenghui’s expression was a little bitter. “I’m just worried about you.”
Su Chenghui had always been cold in front of Li Qianxue. It was already polite to say that he was cold. He had always been cold to her to the point that it made one’s hair stand on end.
In front of her, he used such a tone to express his concern for her. Even though he had done this kind of thing many times over the past year, Li Qianxue’s mood could not help but become a little strange.
His face was still as elegant and refined as ever. Age also treated him extremely well. He didn’t have the stench of a businessman on him. Instead, he looked like a scholar.
If he wore a pair of gla.s.ses and stood in the university lecture hall, people would believe that he was a professor. Half of the reason why she was fascinated by him back then was because he had a good appearance?
Realizing that her thoughts were developing in an uncontrollable direction, Li Qianxue’s face didn’t look good.
“We’re already divorced. If you’re done, leave.”
She didn’t give him a chance at all. Su Chenghui looked at her for a long time. She just lowered her head to read the doc.u.ments and ignored him.
He couldn’t help it. He walked around the huge desk to her and turned her chair around.
“Qianxue.”
Li Qianxue leaned against the back of the chair and looked at him expressionlessly.
“Qianxue.” Before the divorce, he rarely called her by her name. Most of the time, he just called her ‘you’.
After the divorce, her name became a thorn in his heart. Every time he called her name, the pain became worse.
“I really regret it.” He held her hand. Her hand was slender, and he wrapped her hand in his palm.
His palm was much hotter than hers. He wrapped her hand tightly and looked down at her. “Qianxue, Let’s start over, shall we?”
He had already said the words ‘sorry’. If she didn’t want to hear it, he would say something else.
He had originally wanted to give her time to slowly calm down and calm down until the damage was gone. However, Wei Ting’s appearance today gave him a huge sense of crisis.
Let alone Wei Ting, any random man would be more compet.i.tive than him.
Because they had never hurt her, and he was the one who hurt her the most.
“Qianxue…”
Li Qianxue was silent. She just looked at him. The office was very quiet, so quiet that it was almost strange.
“Su Chenghui.” After stopping for almost a minute, she finally spoke.
“When Su Peizhen was one year old, she just learned to walk. Of course, at that time, I didn’t know that she wasn’t my daughter. I was very happy. I watched her walk towards you with her small feet, and you were also very happy. I saw you hugging her, and I watched you kiss her face. At that time, your face revealed a very loving smile.
At that time, I thought, even if you don’t love me, your love for your daughter was real. So when I returned to my room, I asked you, can you forget that unpleasant beginning and let us live a good life?”
“Do you still remember how you answered me?”
Su Chenghui knew that if he opened his mouth, he definitely wouldn’t say anything good. However, the feeling that she was pinching his weak spot when she opened her mouth made his heart tighten.
“You said that I’m not worthy, you said –”
Li Qianxue’s face didn’t look good either. In fact, the conversation after that was really too unpleasant. She really didn’t want to recall it.
“Su Chenghui, after so many years, those hurtful words you said to me and the things you did to me are like nails on a wooden stake. Even if you remove those nails now, there will still be scars on the wooden stake, just like my heart. If you come to apologize after you hurt me, my heart will already have scars that can’t be erased.”
“You can pretend that nothing happened. You can forget about it. You can casually say that you want to start over, but I can’t.”
“Su Chenghui, you’ve been flas.h.i.+ng in front of my eyes for more than a year. Do you know how much I hate you? Every time you appear, you remind me of how many wounds I have and how painful it is.”
“Qianxue…” Su Chenghui didn’t know what to say. His calm and rational mind, which had been in the business for a long time, was completely useless at this moment. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I just can’t let go.”
“Su Chenghui, you said you don’t want to let go. Then tell me, how can I forgive you?”
Her hand was still wrapped by him. She held his hand with a backhand, she placed it on her heart. “Here, even if the blood is no longer flowing, the inside is already riddled with holes. Su Chenghui, tell me, how can I use such a broken heart to forgive you?”
Under her palm was her soft heart. Under her skin, her heart was beating again and again. He felt her heartbeat and also felt the coldness in her words.
His hand stopped there and he didn’t even dare to use force.
Li Qianxue didn’t want to say anymore. She wanted to twist his hand away, but he suddenly reached out and hugged her.
He hugged her very tightly and forcefully. Because she was sitting and he was bending down, he buried his face into her neck with this hug.
Li Qianxue frowned and her face was a little gloomy. However, at this moment, she felt the warmth on her neck and she was stunned. She didn’t move for a moment.
There was a faint smell of roses on her body. However, in front of her, Su Chenghui had no romantic thoughts at all.
“Qianxue, I don’t need you to forgive me.” What he had done was indeed not worthy of forgiveness.
“You just need to agree to let me guard you, is that okay?”
“If you think your heart is dead, I can give you my heart.”
“Okay?”
He raised his head to look at her. His eyes were bloodshot, and there was a deep pleading in them.
Li Qianxue gently pushed his body away, and then increasing the distance between the two of them, she stepped back.
“Last month, Qingsang’s child was one month old. Xiang Caiping gave them a gift.”
This sudden change of topic made Su Chenghui not understand what she meant. Li Qianxue thought of the two sweaters that she had accidentally seen. She felt a toothache and a little jealous.
“That’s my daughter, my granddaughter. But she came to give gifts as if she was a grandmother.”
“Xiang Caiping, she…”
“I know, she’s very good to Qingsang. Qingsang is very affectionate. She always remembers the good things that others have done for her. But the more she remembers, the more uncomfortable I feel. Do you know why?”
“Because all of this didn’t have to be like this. I could have taken care of my daughter by myself. I could have treated her well by myself. But because of you, because of your selfishness and cruelty, others beat me to it. “Xiang Caiping beat me to it and gained a good impression in front of my daughter.”
People were like that. They were vulnerable to perconceived notions. Xiang Caiping appeared in front of Su Qingsang first. Even if Su Qingsang didn’t have any mother-daughter relations.h.i.+p with her, she had developed a mother-daughter relations.h.i.+p with her.
This was what she hated the most.
She didn’t need to say anything else. Su Chenghui understood everything. She didn’t want to say anything else. She turned around and picked up the doc.u.ment again. She looked like she refused to talk anymore.
Su Chenghui looked at the side of her face. He raised his hand a few times to touch her, but in the end, he lowered his head, turned around, and left weakly.
The office was quiet again. Li Qianxue could no longer look at the doc.u.ments in front of her.
She chased Su Chenghui away, but she didn’t have much joy in her heart. Every time she fought with Su Chenghui, it was actually hurting the enemy and hurting herself.
Her hurtful words could hurt Su Chenghui, but at the same time, it also made her constantly recall the past.
She shook her head. Now, she only hoped that she and Su Chenghui would try not to see each other. After all, every time she saw him, her mood really didn’t get better.
Li Qianxue was still thinking of not seeing Su Chenghui in the future when that night, when she met with Li Junsheng, she saw him again.
When she saw Su Chenghui sitting next to Li Junsheng, Li Qianxue’s expression was a little bad.
She instinctively wanted to leave, but Li Junsheng had already stood up.
“Auntie.” Although Li Junsheng was the mayor of a city, he was standing in front of Huo Jinyao’s parents-in-law. It wasn’t appropriate for him to be arrogant in front of these two people.
“Mayor Li, you’re too kind.” Li Qianxue entered the door. She still had to be polite.
“Uncle happened to have some ideas about the project at the north side of the city, so I invited him along. Do you ,ind?”
Now, she was here, and apart from Li Junsheng, President Chen of Urban Construction, and Secretary Li of the Secretary office were also here, so how could she say that she minded?
“Of course I don’t mind.”
She said that she didn’t mind, but she unceremoniously shot daggers at Su Chenghui.
