Chapter 568: It’s a Pity You Don’t Have a Son

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Qingsang stopped her car outside, and she took a look at the house. It was in the day, and the reflective window made it difficult to see if there was anyone inside.

She couldn’t help but take out her mobile phone and called Xiang Caiping.

After three minutes, Xiang Caiping opened the door.

She found Su Qingsang standing at the doorstep, who handed over the fruits and supplements that she had purchased before coming over.

“Aunt Xiang, these supplements are good for your lower back. Also, this is a physiotherapy device for the lower back, which was newly launched by our hospital. I’ve asked several patients for their feedback, and they’ve said that it was quite useful.”

Su Qingsang explained briefly as Xiang Caiping took the things from her. She nodded, thanked her very softly, and let Su Qingsang in.

The house was clean and cozy, which was reminiscent of Xiang Caiping’s style. Su Qingsang sat down without much worry.

Xiang Caiping said that Su Peizhen had gone to work, and she would only be back at night.

Although the truth was that she might not even be back at night, Xiang Caiping would not tell Su Qingsang about that.

Xiang Caiping went to the kitchen to get some fruits, and she poured a glass of juice as well.

Su Qingsang stared at the glass of orange juice, realizing that Xiang Caiping still remembered. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she just lowered her head to hide her emotions.

“Aunt Xiang, you don’t have to be so polite with me. Why didn’t you hire a housekeeper to help you?”

“I do have a housekeeper, but she had gone out for grocery shopping. Moreover, I’m not so old that I can’t move anymore. I’d rather do things on my own.”

Su Qingsang knew that Xiang Caiping would always find something to do, so she did not bring up that topic again.

Instead, she took out the physiotherapy device and taught Xiang Caiping how to use it.

“Just like this, it’s easy to use!” This device was expensive, and not many patients could afford it.

Su Qingsang had not used it herself. She had just learned how to use it after asking her colleagues about it.

Yet, the explanation was very clear. Xiang Caiping looked at Su Qingsang’s side profile, and her heart ached.

“You don’t look too well. Has it been too tiring for you lately?”

Xiang Caiping eventually expressed her concerns. Su Qingsang had just finished explaining the use of the device and was packing it up, but she stopped for a moment when she heard what Xiang Caiping spoke.

“No, it’s not tiring.”

She had overdone things a little, as she wanted to try for a child. Indeed, she had been sleep-deprived and was catching up on her sleep the past two days.

The dark circles under her eyes were even worse a few days before.

Huo Jinyao also knew that, and thus he had not touched her for the past few days. He had only been hugging her to sleep so she could get a good rest.

“I know that you and Huo Jinyao are still young. But it’s your own body, so you still need to take care of yourself. Don’t overindulge.”

Xiang Caiping had lived with Su Qingsang before, so she knew about things happening between Huo Jinyao and Su Qingsang.

She felt that she was talking too much after she finished her sentence. These were things that she could no longer care about.

Su Qingsang was taken aback, her face flushed red. At the same time, however, she felt warm from the care of a mother.

“Aunt Xiang, you too.” Su Qingsang clutched Xiang Caiping’s hands gently. “No matter what, you must take care of yourself. You must remember to take these supplements, and you must persist in using the physiotherapy device.”

Xiang Caiping looked at the hands, and she nodded gently.

Su Qingsang did not stay to eat after all. She took a long while to decide whether she should visit Xiang Caiping today.

The housekeeper of Xiang Caiping came back when Su Qingsang was about to leave. Su Qingsang was relieved that there was someone around to take care of Xiang Caiping.

While she was walking out, she couldn’t help but say something to Xiang Caiping.

“Aunt Xiang, give me a call if you have nothing on, okay? I’ll come for a visit!”

Both Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping knew that the actual meaning of that sentence was to call her when Su Peizhen was not at home.

Xiang Caiping looked at her and bobbed her head.

Su Qingsang had visited Xiang Caiping a few more times after that, whenever Su Peizhen was not at home.

Su Qingsang didn’t know if it was because of the supplements she bought, or because she came to visit Xiang Caiping, but she could see that Xiang Caiping looked much better than before.

Xiang Caiping had been using the physiotherapy device and said that it alleviated her lower back pain.

There were not many things that Su Qingsang could do, but the few things she had done eased her mind.

As for her visiting Xiang Caiping, she did not tell anyone about it except for Huo Jinyao.

She especially did not tell Li Qianxue. Li Qianxue did not know that she would visit Xiang Caiping.

She had video calls with Li Qianxue almost every day, and there was always a lot to talk about, but there were two topics that they would mutually not bring up.

One would be about Su Peizhen, and the other would be about Su Chenghui.

Su Qingsang simply wanted to treat Xiang Caiping well and make her feel better. Xiang Caiping knew and understood her, so whenever Su Qingsang was there, she would not talk about Su Peizhen or anyone from the Su Family.

This was the mutual understanding between her and Xiang Caiping.

Xiang Caiping would only call Su Qingsang after Su Peizhen had gone out, so Su Peizhen never knew that Su Qingsang had been at the house.

The weather was getting warmer, and it was already the start of the summer season in Rong City.

When Su Peizhen got home one day, she realized that Xiang Caiping was not in the living room. She was quite surprised about that, as Xiang Caiping would usually be waiting for her downstairs, so they can eat together.

Even if she knew that Su Peizhen would not be back, she would still be waiting there. Su Peizhen was rather not used to it, now that she did not see her waiting.

She pondered about it and decided to go up to Xiang Caiping’s room to see what she was doing.

She heard the voices of Xiang Caiping and the housekeeper, Ms. Zhao, even before she reached the door.

She wanted to go in right away, but she abruptly stopped.

“Madam Xiang, would Ms. Su be visiting soon?”

“She just came a few days ago, so she should only be here in about two days. Is there something on?”

“I tried your lower back physiotherapy device, and it was quite useful. So, I’m thinking of asking Ms. Su to help me get one. I’ll pay her for it.”

Ms. Zhao’s confinement wasn’t done well when she was young, so she had a terrible lower back problem. Xiang Caiping had asked her to try the device the last time she had a backache.

It was the same today. Ms. Zhao had accidentally hurt her lower back when she was moving something, so Xiang Caiping asked her to use the device again.

“Alright. How about I give her a call and ask her to bring one over first? You can use it when you’re at home.”

“Thank you, Madam Xiang!” Ms. Zhao sounded grateful. “To be honest, Ms. Su is very nice. Is she your sister’s daughter?”

Xiang Caiping kept quiet, unable to answer that question. She said nothing, and Ms. Zhao stopped asking too.

“I heard that she’s a doctor. She’s so capable at such a young age!”

“Yes, she is a gynecologist.”

Most of the time, Su Qingsang would be very busy in the hospital, and she would still have to go to the Huo Mansion during the weekends to visit Old Master Huo. Furthermore, she would also bond with Huo Jinyao on normal days.

Even so, she could still take the time to visit her, and that was extremely caring of her.

“She’s very capable! Young, capable, and nice. Ms. Su bought all the supplements on the table, right?”

“Yes.”

Xiang Caiping nodded. All the supplements on that table were suitable for the middle-aged and elderly, and they were all purchased by Su Qingsang.

She did not just buy them randomly. She was a doctor, so she chose them carefully before buying. With the supplements, Xiang Caiping slept much better nowadays.

“Ms. Su is so nice! You should acknowledge her as your god-daughter.”

Ms. Zhao was finding something to talk about while she was using the physiotherapy device.

“It’s a pity you don’t have a son. If not, you get to take her in as a daughter-in-law.”

“She’s married,” Xiang Caiping replied coolly.

“She’s married at such a young age? I didn’t expect that! If that’s so, her husband is a blessed man.”

“Yup.”

Certainly, it was a blessing to have such a wife.

And it was a blessing to have a daughter like that as well.

Su Peizhen stood at the door, with a ghastly expression on her face. She tightened her grip around her phone, her expression on her face extremely solemn.

Without attracting the attention of the people inside, Su Peizhen left quietly and returned to her room.

She sat down on her bed, her mobile phone still in her hand.

She had been very busy recently. Two or three supermarkets were not enough to satisfy her ambitions. She wanted more.

It would mean that she would need more resources if she wanted more. And Huo Yifan was her best resource now.

After all, she was raised meticulously by Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui, so she was naturally sharp when it came to business.

It was true that she and Huo Yifan were just cooperating and making use of each other, but with the same goals in mind, they would genuinely work well together.

Huo Yifan was so set on proving himself, that he started a company on his own at her instigation.

The company operated under Huo Yifan and her name. As it was still in its infancy, they needed business deals.

Su Peizhen had just handed in her proposal, but Huo Yifan was daring enough to take out a business deal from Tianyu Group to handle it under his company.

This was the first deal of their new company, so it was of paramount importance to both Su Peizhen and Huo Yifan.

They were all extremely busy, and Su Peizhen had neglected Xiang Caiping as a result. She wouldn’t even come back to sleep sometimes, much less to eat.

She had only remembered to come back for a look, only because Huo Yifan was going to finalize the details of the business with the opposite party.

She did not expect that Xiang Caiping would not need her care at all. Why was someone already rushing to be a filial daughter?

Su Qingsang, oh Su Qingsang. I haven’t even thought about how to deal with you about your trifling matters, but you have chosen to provoke me first.

What now? Not to mention that you had taken away the mother who raised me, and now you want to steal my birth mother as well?

Su Peizhen just couldn’t let it go, and her disgust and hatred for Su Qingsang doubled at that moment.

She jumped up and paced back and forth in the room.

She randomly took out her mobile phone, opening up the photo of Su Qingsang and that man.

Su Peizhen had carefully examined the photo of Su Qingsang and the man hugging each other several times. She realized that it was just a forced perspective photo, so it really couldn’t be actual solid proof of anything.

If she wanted to prove anything, she would probably need more evidence.

Su Peizhen glanced at the photos again, and she still thought that it was not appropriate to use the photos for anything.

She contemplated it, and she sent the photo of Zhang Yichen to Huo Yifan, along with a text message.

“When we visited your grandfather at the Huo Mansion last time, the man whom we met in the courtyard, was he a relative of your family?”
