Chapter 283: Working against his own self-interest

He said that he married Li Qianxue against his own wishes. He promised that he would never be intimate with Li Qianxue again. He said that he will save himself for me to gain my trust.

Xiang Caiping smiled. Her smile was tinged with bitterness. A sudden realization had dawned upon her. She could finally overcome her years of obsession with him.

Su Chenghui is a cheat. He worked against his own self-interest. He clearly professed his loyalty to me, yet he had a son with someone else. How ludicrous is he?

Su Qingsang sensed something was amiss when she saw Xiang Caiping disappear into the back of the room. Reverting her attention back to her phone screen, a thought occurred to her. Did this picture infuriate her?

That evening, Su Qingsang waited for Huo Jinyao to get home so that she could mention the incident to him.

“Do you think Aunt Xiang has suffered some kind of setback?”

“I have no idea.” Huo Jinyao could not comprehend Xiang Caiping’s reaction either. “Could she be unhappy about the fact that your father had a child with another woman?”

Su Qingsang was stupefied. She tried to grasp the situation and considered the plausibility of Huo Jinyao’s assumption. “I guess so.”

When a man you love had a child with another woman...

“I think there could be other reasons too.” Huo Jinyao fathomed the crux of the issue. “Think about this – Su Peizhen is older than you, so Aunt Xiang would know about your father raising a child with another woman.”

“You’re right, this doesn’t make sense.” Su Qingsang could not wrap her head around the issue and was not willing to ponder it anymore. “My father is really...”

He was not willing to marry Li Qianxue, and he got Xiang Caiping pregnant.

“It’s just a series of unfortunate events.” In truth, Huo Jinyao discreetly held Su Chenghui in disdain. If he was truly determined, he would not have gotten involved with Li Qianxue and would have resolutely rejected her.

If he had chosen to be involved with Li Qianxue, he should not have been simultaneously engaged in an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Caiping.

Su Qingsang remained silent. She knew that what had happened in the past was not merely a series of unfortunate events.

Either way, the responsibility lays with Su Chenghui. Li Qianxue was definitely culpable for her actions too.

Her obstinacy in pursuing and possessing what she desired resulted in the trio’s misery. What was the point in that?

“Dear, it’s Friday tomorrow. Why don’t you take Mother shopping after work tomorrow night? We can all go for a short trip together over the weekend.”

“That’s a good idea.” Su Qingsang nodded. She had wanted to show Xiang Caiping around. “My mother arrived here without a cellphone. I plan to take her to purchase one tomorrow before applying for a credit card for her.”

Huo Jinyao muttered a reply. He thought for a while before pulling out a credit card from his wallet and handing it to Su Qingsang. “Remember to use my card for your purchase.”

“Why should I use your card? I have money.”

Huo Jinyao had wanted to give Su Qingsang his card since the beginning of their relationship. His status had not been known to her at the time. He was apprehensive then about incurring her suspicion.

After returning from Rong City, the matter had slipped his mind. This was a timely moment to offer her his card.

“Also, cellphones are widely used to pay for purchases now. Who even carries cards around anymore?”

Su Qingsang looked him over and he nodded. “Hold on to the card regardless. It can be bound to the cellphone’s payment application.”

Su Qingsang’s gaze lingered on the card in Huo Jinyao’s hand before she finally took it. “Would it bother you if I didn’t spend your money right now?”

“Of course,” Huo Jinyao nodded. “You’re my wife. I naturally have to provide for you. What’s the point of me making so much money if you can’t spend it?”

“Fine, since you apparently want yourself to be poor.” Su Qingsang put the card aside. “Alright, let’s turn in.”

This suggestion appealed to him. “Yes, let’s hit the sack.”

Huo Jinyao turned and lowered himself on top of Su Qingsang.historical
