To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 287

Chapter 287: A Strong Sense of Familiarity

Glancing casually in the young ladies’ direction, she noticed Su Peizhen immediately.

This person looks really familiar.

“Just go try these on, don’t mind me.” Su Qingsang exuded exceptional patience. “After you choose the clothes you want, you can accompany me around the shop too. I would like to try some clothes on.”

In fact, she had sufficient clothes. Huo Jianyao made no attempt to try to hide his excessive doting on her after his identity was revealed.

Plenty of clothing items were delivered to their door each season. Su Qingsang said that she wanted to look for clothes to make sure Xiang Caiping didn’t feel awkward about being the only one getting clothes.

Being particularly mindful of Xiang Caiping’s awareness of Su Peizhen and her entourage’s presence, Su Qingsang nonchalantly moved between Xiang Caiping and Su Peizhen. In Su Qingsang’s opinion, it was prudent to keep Xiang Caiping from meeting anyone from the Su Family, regardless of which family member.

“Sure,” Xiang Caiping broke into a smile. The wrinkles at the edges of her eyes reflected her good spirits. “You’re still young, you should make more of an effort in making yourself up. I’m along in my years, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t make as much of an effort.”

Xiang Caiping went to try the clothes on. She took a second look at Su Peizhen before heading off to the fitting room.

After a few moments, she eventually remembered who Su Peizhen was. She was the young lady from yesterday…

She was looking at Su Peizhen and Su Peizhen was returning her gaze.

Considering the age of the older woman, Su Peizhen initially thought that she was Su Qingsang’s mother-in-law and Huo Jinyao’s mother.

When she heard how Su Qingsang addressed the older woman, however, she had doubts about the older woman’s identity. Since Su Qingsang and Huo Jinyao were married, Su Qingsang would address the older woman as ‘mother,’ not ‘aunt’.

“Su Qingsang, who is she?”

Su Peizhen had an inexplicable urge to find out the identity of the older woman.

Su Qingsang waited until Xiang Caiping had gone into the fitting room and was out of sight before whirling around to face Su Peizhen, “What has that got to do with you?”

“Su Qingsang.” Su Peizhen was incensed. “Keep your arrogance in check. Don’t forget who made you who you are today.”

“Yes, Su Family made me who I am today. Do you expect me to be beholden to the family?”

“You don’t have to be beholden to us, just don’t be ungrateful.”

Su Peizhen made no effort to mince her words. Su Qingsang smiled. “In order for me to be ungrateful, there must have been a kindness that I forgot and turned my back on in the first place. If the high and mighty Ms. Su’s memory serves her well, I am Su Chenghui’s daughter too.”

Before knowing what Xiang Caiping had gone through, Su Qingsang was always curious about her birth history and always felt that Li Qianxue’s treatment of her was nothing out of the ordinary.

When she thought about it now, however, Qingsang had nothing to do with Su Family’s past grievances. It was all Su Chenghui’s fault.

If Li Qianxue did not want to deal with my existence, she could have prevented Su Chenghui from acknowledging and accepting me. After acknowledging, accepting and taking me back to Su Family, when did he ever provide me with fatherly love?

“Su Qingsang,” Su Peizhen said as she nodded. “Now you are trying to pit yourself against me?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Su Qingsang lifted her chin and straightened her posture, showing no sign of being intimidated by a seething Su Peizhen. “I don’t wish to pit myself against you, I just hope that we can lead our own lives.”

“Su Qingsang, I’ve underestimated you in the past.” Su Peizhen stared dispassionately at Su Qingsang. Finally, she grunted with displeasure before throwing Luo Meishan and Song Youhe a look, “Let’s go.”

Su Qingsang turned away and ushered them off with a sweep of her hands.

Fuming with anger, Su Peizhen looked hardened on her way out of the boutique.

On the contrary, Su Qingsang stood where she was, the smile on her face fading. She genuinely did not wish to sow bitterness and discord between them.

It was a fact that Su Peizhen did not treat her kindly in the past, but she also would not intentionally put her in a difficult spot. Thinking of what had caused Su Peizhen to behave in this manner frustrated Su Qingsang. It was all Qiu Yanbo’s fault.

Turning around, she spotted Xiang Caiping coming out of the fitting room. Once Xiang Caiping was out of the fitting room, she looked past Su Qingsang and in the direction of the boutique’s entrance.
