The restaurant was very quiet, no one spoke, no one had a smile on their face, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
Li Qianxue was sitting at the long dining table, and the steaming delicious food on the table didn't make her feel good at all.
In the past, there was only one person missing from the New Year's Eve dinner for five people. How could Li Qianxue not be angry
She didn't expect Su Chenghui to be so cruel. I really don’t want Su Peizhen to come back for the New Year.
Su Peizhen was her first child, and she put the most effort into her.
Unlike Su Yuxin, Su Peizhen was in poor health and had poor immunity when she was born, probably due to her previous difficult childbirth.
It was the daughter who was so small that she was afraid of dropping her when she hugged her. For the first time in more than 20 years, she did not celebrate the New Year by her side.
Li Qianxue's face was ugly, and she sat there without saying a word.
Because of her expression, the atmosphere at the dinner table didn't feel like a Chinese New Year at all.
"Mom." Su Yuxin was the first one who couldn't stand the atmosphere: "Let's eat."
Li Qianxue didn't want to eat, she really couldn't swallow it.
"Su Chenghui, are you still a human? You sent your daughter so far away for an outsider? You haven't let her come back for years. Are you punishing her? Are you punishing me?"
"Mom." Su Yuxin, who was celebrating the Chinese New Year, really didn't want to hear Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui arguing: "You should stop saying a few words. Anyway, sister will be back in two days."
"Who knows." Li Qianxue glared at Su Chenghui: "Your father sent your sister so far away, who knows if he will let her come back?"
"Qianxue." Mr. Li spoke: "You're about the same. You're celebrating the New Year, what are you talking about?"
"Dad, you also know that it's the New Year, but does he let me spend this New Year well? He doesn't let me spend this New Year well at all."
Li Qianxue was so angry thinking about Su Peizhen that she couldn't even eat: "Pei Zhen has never spent the Chinese New Year alone. I don't know if she is eating now. Is it wrong to be alone."
"That's enough." Mr. Li thought of the conditions he had negotiated with Huo Jinyao before.
In fact, if Su Qingsang and Xiang Caiping hadn't softened their hearts, they would have let it go. Su Peizhen is not in the United States now, but in prison.
But he couldn't tell Li Qianxue about such a thing. Thinking about it, she would not accept that her daughter would do such a thing.
It's actually good to let Su Peizhen go abroad to calm down. Also know the level.
"Pei Zhen is not a child anymore. There are so many people, how can they still live without you? Why can't Pei Zhen do it? You don't want to say anything anymore. Sit down and finish this meal."
"dad-"
"I'm old. I don't like to hear you making trouble, and I don't want to see you fussing. If you want me to live a few more years, stop talking."
Li Qianxue gritted her teeth. No matter how angry she was, she could only forget it in front of Mr. Li.
But the way she looked at Su Chenghui became more and more disappointed. She became even more annoyed when she found him sitting there without saying a word.
Look, even if you mess with him like this, he doesn't react. Sometimes she would rather Su Chenghui quarreled with her and made trouble with her.
But what about him? Most of the time she just said nothing and looked at her like a clown.
In fact, she had already discovered it. This man made her fall in love more and more.
It’s just that before, there were still children, and there were children, and there were worries about the father. But I don't know when she started to feel increasingly powerless.
Lowering his head, it was clearly the New Year, but the atmosphere at home was not good at all.
Su Yuxin didn't say anything. He didn't understand what happened to this family. It was obviously fine when I was a child, but as I grew older, it became less and less like a family.
And he didn't know how to change this situation.
It's not that Su Chenghui didn't see Li Qianxue's anger, nor that Mr. Li's hidden disappointment, nor that he didn't see the expectation in Su Yuxin's eyes.
It's just that he is really not in the mood today. He never went to the hospital again after that day.
On the one hand, Xiang Caiping didn't want to see him, and on the other hand, he didn't want to see Su Qingsang.
The secret he once thought only he knew was now known to Su Qingsang.
Su Chenghui never thought that the secret would be known one day. The revenge he imagined was when Li Qianxue grew old and found that everything was irreversible.
but not now.
Su Chenghui's mood during this period was quite complicated. If Su Qingsang knew something, Huo Jinyao must also know it.
Su Qingsang might not be able to guess it at the moment, but with Huo Jinyao's intelligence, it might be a matter of time before he guesses Su Qingsang's true identity.
What will happen then? What if one day, Su Qingsang's life experience is really revealed to the world, and the entire Lin City knows about it
Su Chenghui didn't have the mind to think about anything else at this time. He raised his head and his eyes fell directly on Li Qianxue's face.
With Mr. Li around, the anger on her face dissipated a lot, but she was still unhappy.
She had a cold face, and her facial features, which were brighter than those of Heian people, looked a bit cold at this moment.
Speaking of which, Su Chenghui couldn't remember the last time he saw Li Qianxue happy.
Sensing Su Chenghui's gaze, Li Qianxue raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes cold: "What? What else do you want to say? Don't worry. If you want to scold me, scold me if you want. It's Chinese New Year today. For my dad's sake, I won't talk to you." Careful."
Su Chenghui felt a little confused for no reason. He lowered his head and scanned the dishes on the table.
"Let's eat."
His voice was too gentle. Li Qianxue glanced at him, thinking that he was going to do something else, but her eyes were a little more wary.
Not only Li Qianxue was looking at him, but Su Yuxin and Mr. Li were also staring at him. Su Chenghui, who felt very uncomfortable, raised the wine in front of him to toast Mr. Li.
"Happy New Year, Dad."
"Happy New Year." Mr. Li raised his glass in a dignified manner.
After Su Chenghui paid tribute to Mr. Li, he clinked glasses with Su Yuxin again: "Study hard. You will be a year older after the New Year. The Su family will still have to rely on you to support it in the future."
"I will. Dad. Happy New Year."
"Yes." Su Chenghui nodded, and finally looked at Li Qianxue. He raised the cup and pointed it in his direction: "Happy New Year."
This is a ritual toast that happens every year. Li Qianxue sat there motionless, she had not yet swallowed the breath in her heart.
Su Chenghui was a little embarrassed, but he didn't take the cup back: "Qianxue?"
Li Qianxue was startled and couldn't help but glance at Su Chenghui. She almost never heard Su Chenghui call her name.
Every time he calls himself by his full name, sometimes he doesn't even have a name.
She was a little uncomfortable on her face, but she was more confused in her heart. What is Su Chenghui doing? Is there some conspiracy that she doesn't know about
