Chapter 750: Chapter 040: What If I don’t agree
In the following week, Su Chenghui was once again busy. He had a lot of homework to do before he went to Rongcheng. However, he was still very attentive to Li Qianxue. He had to report to the Li Corporation every day, even if it was just to see Li Qianxue and talk to her. After the incident with Jing Shu, he was very sensitive to the subtle change in Li Qianxue’s att.i.tude toward him. She used to say that she wanted to give him a chance, but in reality, she only watched him. She watched coldly as he made his sacrifice and showed his determination. She just watched him, as if she was observing him. But after the incident with Jing Shu, every time Li Qianxue looked at him, the smile in her eyes became more gentle and intimate. He was happy with this change and felt extremely confident that one day, he would be able to convince Li Qianxue. A few days later, Su Chenghui finally went to Rongcheng. No matter how much Su Chenghui tried to persuade Li Qianxue, she refused to go with him. In the end, Su Chenghui had no choice but to bring Qiao ran along. After going to Rongcheng, Su Chenghui first went to visit grandfather Huo. This was something that he had to do every time he went to Rongcheng. As he came to Rongcheng more often, his relations.h.i.+p with the Huo family became much closer. He did not need to borrow the Huo family’s power, nor did he need Huo Jinyao to provide him with any help. Such unutilitarian interactions and interactions also made grandfather Huo look up to him. Every time he saw Su Chenghui, he would pull him to play chess. He would let him live directly in the Huo family. Su Chenghui also liked Su Qingsang’s pair of dragon and Phoenix Twins very much. He would accompany them whenever he came. After staying at the Huo family for a day, Su Chenghui went to handle his own matters. The company he was going to discuss this time had some cooperation with Su Chenghui in the past, but it was only in a small area. The impact and benefits were not big. After the other party developed, it was the first time he was so generous. Seriously speaking, with Su Chenghui’s experience and previous experience, there were many people who wanted to work with him. This time, the other party deliberately took advantage of Qiao. They said that the decision-maker would come back tomorrow and make him wait for a day. Su Chenghui was also an experienced person. How could he not understand the other party’s trick of playing hard to get? He said on the spot that he also happened to have something to deal with. He told them not to be anxious and to take things slowly. After Su Chenghui left the other party’s company, he went to the prison to see Su Peizhen. Every time he came to Rong City, Su Chenghui would come to see Su Peizhen. However, he did not expect Su Peizhen to not be in the prison. Su Chenghui was shocked. To him, the three children were his children now. He would think of ways to make up for what he owed. Whether they wanted such compensation or not, he wanted to do it. After that, Su Chenghui asked about it. It turned out that Su Peizhen was in the hospital. He rushed to the hospital and on the way there, he chatted with a prison guard who was sitting in his car. It turned out that Su Peizhen had received half a year’s sentence reduction because of her meritorious service. In the past half a year, her performance had been exceptionally good. If there were no mistakes in the second half of the year, it would not be a problem for her to receive a sentence reduction. Su Peizhen knew this in her heart. However, to her, she still exercised regularly every day and lived a life similar to cultivation. She strived to perform well so that she could get out as soon as possible. However, she did not come to stir up trouble, but the trouble fell on her head. A few days ago, there were a few rookies who came to the prison. One of them had entered for some unknown reason, and his heart was especially fragile. On the first night in prison, he cried for a whole night. Later, after being lectured by the prison guards, he restrained himself. But the next day, he cried again. The prison guards had no choice. They were afraid that she would affect others, so they temporarily gave her a single room. They didn’t expect that the rookie would treat this as punishment. She couldn’t take it lying down. The next day, when the guards weren’t paying attention, she climbed to the top of the third floor of the prison and was about to jump. Su Peizhen happened to see it. Because the other party was about to jump, Su Peizhen didn’t return to the prison after informing the prison guards. Instead, she followed the prison guards upstairs, trying to persuade the rookie to come down. When the newcomer saw that someone was coming up to persuade him, he became even more excited. At that time, there were only two prison guards at the scene. When they called for help, the newcomer was about to jump down the building. Su Peizhen, who had learned a few martial arts and anti-wolf techniques, pounced on the newcomer without thinking and pulled him back. In the end, she succeeded in pulling the woman back. However, when she was trying to save the newcomer, she was. .h.i.t by a huge impact and fell to the ground. Then, the back of her head hit the ground. She fainted. Su Peizhen was injured and was admitted to the hospital. When Su Chenghui rushed to the hospital, the prison guard kept comforting him. Although SU Peizhen was injured, with such a meritorious performance, he should be able to get a reduction in his sentence. The prison guard’s words made Su Chenghui unhappy. He felt that he had failed in his duty. Looking at the pale and weak Su Peizhen in the ward, Su Chenghui did not feel good. When she woke up, he asked someone to buy some nutrition for Su Peizhen. Then, he waited for Su Peizhen to wake up. When Su Peizhen woke up and saw Su Chenghui, she was a little surprised. Since he was in prison, Su Chenghui had come to see her more than Xiang caiping. However, Su Chenghui had been busy for the past two months. It had been a long time since he had come to see her. “Dad?”She wanted to get up, but Su Chenghui held her shoulder. “Rest well. The Doctor said that you have a mild concussion, so don’t get up.” Concussion? Su Peizhen felt a pain at the back of her head. Only then did she realize what had happened to her. Su Chenghui poured a gla.s.s of water for her and fed her a drink. Su Peizhen, who had recovered, also felt energetic. “Dad, why are you here?” “I came to Rongcheng to discuss some business and also came to see you. I didn’t expect –” Su Chenghui paused for a moment and looked at Su Peizhen with some disapproval. “You say, you really are something. When other people encounter danger, they want to avoid it, but you actually took the initiative to rush up. It’s really –” What he didn’t say at the end was that even if Su Peizhen wanted to go out, it wouldn’t matter for a year and a half. “It’s okay. Isn’t it not a big deal?”The newcomer looked pitiful. It also made her think of herself when she first entered prison. In fact, she once had the thought of committing suicide, but this thought was stopped by her strong heart. Su Peizhen’s words left Su Chenghui at a loss for words. After some thought, he said tentatively, “Peizhen, now that you’re injured, you’ve rendered meritorious service. Daddy will arrange for you to be released for medical treatment, and then you can come out directly, okay?” “Can I?”Su Peizhen seemed a little surprised. “It’s not that easy, is it?” “It’s not easy, but it’s not particularly difficult either. You’ve performed very well in there, and you’ve rendered meritorious service. If you really want to come out, it won’t be too difficult.” Su Peizhen’s sentence was because Huo Jinyao wanted to punish her, so he gave her a heavier sentence. To be honest, she didn’t have to go to jail for five years. “I’ll find a lawyer for you and appeal again. Then, I’ll see if I can get you out as soon as possible.” Su Peizhen pursed her lips and looked at Su Chenghui. In the end, she reached out and held his hand. “Dad, don’t force yourself. If you can, then it’s fine. If you can’t, then it’s fine. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter if it’s a year or two.” “Peizhen?” Su Chenghui was surprised by his daughter’s change. This one year of prison life had greatly eroded her willpower. Su Peizhen’s thoughts were different from Su Chenghui’s. “It’s fine. Really.” In fact, prison life wasn’t that scary. At least in her opinion, this one year of prison life had allowed her to grow up. “I’ll go back and ask the lawyer.” In the end, Su Chenghui couldn’t bear to let his daughter leave such a place. In the next two days, besides going to work, Su Chenghui came to the hospital to visit Su Peizhen. Xiang caiping also knew the news of SU Peizhen’s injury. She received a call from the prison and found out that Su Peizhen was injured and in the hospital. Su Peizhen’s concussion was not serious. She only needed to observe for two days. Xiang caiping, who knew about the news, rushed over. Naturally, she b.u.mped into Su Chenghui. In the past, Su Chenghui would come to visit Su Peizhen. However, he did not b.u.mp into her, so she let it go. Now that she saw Su Chenghui, she felt that old and new grudges were rising together. She really hated Su Chenghui. Not only did she not treat him well, she even chased him out. “How dare you come? It’s all your fault that my daughter is like this. Su Chenghui, you’re a sinner. It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault.” “Get lost. I don’t want to see you. My daughter doesn’t need you to pity her.” “Su Chenghui, don’t come to see Peizhen in the future.” Xiang caiping was emotional. Su Chenghui had no choice but to leave. He didn’t bother Xiang caiping too much. After all, Su Peizhen’s injury wasn’t serious. She was only under observation for two days before she was discharged and returned to prison. Su Chenghui’s mood did not relax because of this. Instead, he felt even more guilty and blamed himself. After all, Su Peizhen’s injuries had not fully recovered yet. Now, she could not even get the most basic care, and she had to return to that harsh environment. He was a father, and he had held Su Peizhen in his hands for so many years. How could he not care? He was now living in the Huo family. Although he did not have to let others say that he left early and returned late every day, Su Qingsang still had to care about what he was doing. That day, Su Chenghui came home with a bad look on his face. She asked him a few questions out of concern. Su Qingsang was a little surprised to know that Su Peizhen was injured while saving someone. She was even more surprised when she found out that Su Peizhen was actually hospitalized at the hospital where she worked. She had heard that there were police officers in the surgical ward yesterday. At that time, she did not understand what was going on, but now she knew. If Su Chenghui wanted Su Peizhen to come out earlier, he would definitely tell Su Qingsang about this matter. He told Su Qingsang about his plans and looked at Su Qingsang, he was a little embarra.s.sed. “Qingsang, I know that Peizhen has let you down in the past, but she has really changed now. She has lost a lot of weight. Her entire person has changed. I think, if possible, should we let her come out earlier?” Su Qingsang did not speak. She was not that resistant to Su Peizhen. The one with emotions was Huo Jinyao. “Dad, I don’t want to stop you from doing what you want to do, and I don’t object. But it’s better if you tell Mom.” There were some things that she could let go of, but that did not mean that others could. Just like how Huo Jinyao would not forgive su peizhen, Li Qianxue probably felt the same way about Su Peizhen now. With such a premise, if Su Chenghui really had any thoughts, it would be better for him to let Li Qianxue know. “Qingsang?”Su Chenghui did not think about this. Should he tell Li Qianxue? Before settling Li Qianxue’s att.i.tude.., su Chenghui was more concerned about Su Qingsang’s att.i.tude. “Do you really not mind? It’s the things that Peizhen did in the past. I know that she made a huge mistake. If you still feel resentful and blame her, then I won’t consider it.” He used to be biased, but now he could not let himself be like this. If Qingsang really did not understand SU Peizhen and felt that the punishment she received was not enough, then he could only do nothing and let Su Peizhen continue to stay in prison until she received all the punishment. Su Qingsang was a little surprised by Su Chenghui’s words. His att.i.tude was quite rare for her. In the past, Su Chenghui would only stand on Su Peizhen’s side unconditionally. “Dad, if I’m still angry, are you really going to ignore her?” “Yes.”Su Chenghui nodded heavily. Even if he felt pity and concern in his heart, he didn’t want to hurt Su Qingsang’s heart. Although SU Qingsang had more contact with Su Chenghui during this period of time than usual, in her opinion, Su Chenghui was still su chenghui. Whether he pursued Li Qianxue or wanted to win back their relations.h.i.+p, it was his own business and had nothing to do with her. She didn’t expect Su Chenghui to say such a thing, so she had a very subtle feeling in her heart. She looked into Su Chenghui’s eyes seriously, and she knew that he was telling the truth. If she really minded, Su Chenghui wouldn’t have let Su Peizhen come out earlier. As a mother, she actually felt fatherly love for the first time after a long time of disappointment and despair. This feeling was very strange. She thought of the two children sleeping on the small bed upstairs and suddenly shook her head. “Dad, I don’t mind. Do what you want to do.” “Qingsang?”It was one thing to know that Qingsang was magnanimous and sentimental, but it was another thing to really realize it. “You –” Su Qingsang saw Su Chenghui’s excitement and spoke very seriously. “Dad, I really don’t mind, but I’m not too sure if mom does.” Su Qingsang knew that Li Qianxue promised to give Su Chenghui a chance. This meant that Li Qianxue still had feelings for Su Chenghui. However, Li Qianxue was a very strong person, and some of her bottom lines. Su Qingsang, who had been in contact with her recently, knew this very well. “Dad, I think that if you really want to be with mom in the future, it’s better to explain some things in advance.” “Okay.”Su Chenghui nodded. His eyes were deep as he fell into deep thought. How could he make Li Qianxue relent and not be angry because he found a lawyer for Su Peizhen? .. Li Qianxue had just taken a shower. When she received the video request from Su Chenghui, she looked at her pajamas and picked it up. “Qianxue?” “Yes.”Li Qianxue placed her phone on the stand of the dressing table and started to do skin care. “What’s Wrong?” “I miss you.” Su Chenghui’s words made Li Qianxue pause in her action of patting the toner. She looked at Su Chenghui on the other end of the video. “What’s wrong? Didn’t you have a good discussion about work?” Although he often confessed to her, she could still hear the tiredness in his voice. “No.”Su Chenghui shook his head and looked at Li Qianxue. He knew that Su Peizhen’s behavior had hurt her heart. Otherwise, with Li Qianxue’s personality, she would not have done anything to cut off her relations.h.i.+p with Su Peizhen. Li Qianxue was not wrong. Su Peizhen had already paid the price for her mistake. However, she was his daughter after all. Su Chenghui hoped that she could live well. At least she wouldn’t have to work so hard. She wouldn’t even have freedom. Li Qianxue propped up her chin with one hand and looked at Su Chenghui. “What happened?” Seeing that he didn’t speak, she calculated the time. “Speaking of which, you’ve been in Rongcheng for four days, right? What’s so troublesome? Didn’t you say you’d be back in three days?” The background behind him showed that it was the guest room of the Huo family. Li Qianxue could tell that it was the guest room of the Huo family. Su Chenghui was still in the Huo family, so what could he not solve? “Qianxue?” Su Chenghui really couldn’t open his mouth. He realized that he couldn’t do much for Su Peizhen. This made him feel very guilty, but this kind of guilt was insignificant compared to the guilt he felt for Li Qianxue. In his heart, no one’s position could be better than Li Qianxue’s. If he could, he hoped that time would go back and he would not act recklessly and be so irresponsible again. And he would not say that he would replace the child regardless of the consequences. Even if he did replace the child, he should still teach SU Peizhen a good lesson. Su Peizhen’s current state was caused by him. Every time Su Chenghui thought of this, he could not remain calm. He had not pa.s.sed Li Qianxue’s observation period, and he did not know how he could pa.s.s it. However, he was very clear that Li Qianxue did not like Su Peizhen. She was very disgusted with Su Peizhen. He was very clear on this point. The situation in front of him was hidden from Li Qianxue. If Li Qianxue found out in the future, she would definitely be unhappy. She was a person who could not see the sand in her eyes. He believed that Li Qianxue would not care about Su Peizhen’s matter, and she would not care about Su Peizhen’s current situation. “Su Chenghui.”Li Qianxue, who was not satisfied with his att.i.tude, said again, “If you have something to say, just say it.” With their current relations.h.i.+p, there seemed to be nothing to say. “About that…”su chenghui thought about how to say it more appropriately. “I went to see Peizhen two days ago.” Hearing his adopted daughter’s name, Li Qianxue’s expression changed slightly. To be honest, she had given su Peizhen a lot of motherly love. But in the end, Su Peizhen’s performance disappointed her. She had thought of giving Su Peizhen some face. But in the end, she didn’t get what she wanted. Now that Su Chenghui suddenly mentioned Su Peizhen, she was in a daze for a moment. The time when she was close to Su Peizhen and her mother seemed to have been a long time ago. Recently, she only had Su Qingsang, her child, and Su Yuxin in her heart. Except for the occasional midnight dream, she rarely thought of Su Peizhen. When she heard Su Chenghui mention Su Peizhen, she realized that the disappointment was still there. “What happened to her?”She tried her best to control her expression and asked casually. “She was injured and hospitalized a few days ago.”As Su Chenghui spoke, he carefully observed Li Qianxue’s reaction on the screen. “She was injured in order to save someone.” He explained the situation and mentioned that Su Peizhen’s sentence might be reduced this time. He also mentioned that he wanted to find a lawyer to re-appeal for Su Peizhen. If possible, he hoped that Su Peizhen could come out as soon as possible. This was his guilt towards Su Peizhen. ”…”there was silence. Li Qianxue did not speak. Su Chenghui did not speak either. He just looked at her and waited for her reply.
