To My Dear Mr. Huo-Novel2

Chapter 721: Chapted 011: You Don’t Deserve To Be A Father

Li Qianxue came over these few days to focus on spending time with her son, so she didn’t ask her assistant to follow her. She came alone.

In front of her was a suitcase in one hand and a present for Su Yuxin in the other.

The moment she saw Su Chenghui, the present in her hand almost fell to the ground. For a moment, she suspected that he had bribed Yang Rong. Otherwise, how would he know that she was coming?

Su Chenghui really didn’t follow her on purpose. He came to the capital to discuss a cooperation case. Then, because Su Yuxin’s birthday was coming up, he came over to see him.

Because Su Yuxin’s residence was not far from the city, he did not stay in a hotel. Instead, he stayed directly at Su Yuxin’s place.

At this moment, he was holding a document bag in his hand. Dressed in a suit and tie, he looked like he was about to leave the room.

When he saw Li Qianxue enter the room, he stopped in his tracks. It was as if he did not expect Li Qianxue to come.

The two of them stood in the spacious living room and looked at each other.

“Why are you here?”

After Li Qianxue finished asking, she realized that she had asked a stupid question.

Before the divorce, Su Yuxin had already decided to come to the Capital to attend university. Then, she and Su Chenghui chose this house together.

The residential area was good, the property was good, and it was also close to the Imperial University. Even if Su Yuxin would only study here for a few years, the two of them had done their homework when they first came here in order to let their son live comfortably.

After the house was bought, the renovation was done by the people from the renovation company according to Su Yuxin’s favorite style.

After that, Li Qianxue also came here a few times. Every time she came to see her son, she lived here. As for Su Chenghui, she had never met him once.

“I came to see Yuxin.” historical

The corners of Li Qianxue’s lips curled up, and there was mockery in her eyes. Her gaze fell on the document bag in Su Chenghui’s hand. She didn’t say anything else, but carried her luggage into the door.

She brought the gift for her son to his room. She was about to go to the guest room with her clothes when she realized that the guest room had been occupied by Su Chenghui. Her expression was a little ugly.

The location of the house where Su Yuxin went to school wasN’t bad, and the size of the house was also good, but there was one thing.

Back then, Li Qianxue wanted her son to live more comfortably, so she connected the two houses into one. The place was big, but there were only three rooms.

One was used as Su Yuxin’s master bedroom, one was a guest room, and one was a study room. There were no more rooms.

Li Qianxue looked at the overly spacious living room outside, and her face didn’t look good.

Su Chenghui didn’t leave. He followed Li Qianxue to the door of the guest room. Of course, he also saw the suitcase that he put in the room

“You can stay here. I’ll squeeze in with Yuxin.”

Li Qianxue turned around to look at him. The corners of her lips were slightly cold. “I’d prefer you stay in a hotel.”

She was here to celebrate Su Yuxin’s birthday. Why would Su Chenghui come to join in the fun?

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui seemed very helpless. “I’m also Yuxin’s father.”

“Ha. Yes, I know.” Li Qianxue crossed her arms in front of her chest. Her expression wasn’t worried. “If you weren’ the father of two children, do you think you would still be standing here?”

Su Chenghui wasn’t angry at her words. He went into his room and began to pack up his things.

He had only been here for two days, so he didn’t have too many things. He packed up his things and carried his suitcase to Su Yuxin’s room.

While he was doing these things, Li Qianxue had been watching him. She did not have any expression on her face, but it was clear that she was very unhappy, very unhappy.

Su Chenghui finished packing and was about to leave. He looked at his watch. “Qianxue, I’m going out for a while. You –”

“If you want to leave, then leave. I don’t need you to care about me.”

Su Chenghui actually wanted to stay, but he was here on business. After thinking about it, he decided to leave first.

After he left, Li Qianxue’s expression didn’t look much better. During this period of time, there were many things to do in the company. She also wanted to use this opportunity to rest for a few days.

Now that she saw Su Chenghui, she couldn’t help but feel angry. She had a feeling that her vacation was ruined.

Damn it.

..

Su Yuxin was very busy with his homework. After the afternoon class, he brushed off playing with his friend and went home.

However, he didn’t expect to see his mother instead of his father when he pushed open the door.

“Mom? Why are you here?”

“I’m here to see you.” Facing her son, Li Qianxue restrained her emotions no matter how much she felt.

Speaking of which, she didn’t have a smooth time giving birth to two children. When she gave birth to Su Qingsang for the first time, the fetus wasn’t in the right position. It took her a long time to give birth to the child.

It was even more so when she gave birth to Su Yuxin. At that time, her relationship with Su Chenghui was ice-cold. She had too many emotional ups and downs when she was pregnant. Now, she didn’t forget that when Su Yuxin was just born, his body was thinner and smaller than that of the average child.

In the blink of an eye, her son had grown so big. In the blink of an eye, he was already in university.

“Where’s my dad?” Su Yuxin glanced into the room. He could not find Su Chenghui.

“Who knows.” Li Qianxue did not want to mention Su Chenghui. “Yuxin, it’s your birthday in a few days. Mom bought you a lot of presents. Also, didn’t you say that you liked the Aston Martin you saw last time? The car will be delivered tomorrow in your favorite white color.”

“Mom, there’s no need. I already have a car.” Su Yuxin had a headache. It was fine if he had gone to school in Lin City. Now that he had come to the capital, did she want him to drive a sports car to class?

“How is it exaggerated?” Li Qianxue adjusted her son’s collar. “If you like it, just drive it. It’s just a car.”

Su Yuxin decided not to discuss this issue with Li Qianxue. For Li Qianxue, ever since the divorce, she wanted to treat her two children twice as well.

“Mom, when did you arrive? Have you eaten yet?”

“I ate some lunch outside. I was waiting to have dinner with you.”

When Li Qianxue heard that Su Yuxin was hungry, she immediately looked at the time. “It’s late. Yuxin, you’re hungry, right? Come, let’s eat. I checked when I came. There are a few good restaurants near Capital University.”

“Mom.” Su Yuxin was a little hesitant. “I promised to have dinner with Dad tonight.”

Li Qianxue’s expression suddenly became awkward. The last thing she wanted to hear now was anything related to Su Chenghui.

“Let’s go eat. Don’t worry about him. Give him a call and tell him to settle it outside.”

“Mom.” Su Yuxin had a headache.

Ever since he was young, Su Chenghui had indeed put the most effort into Su Peizhen, but he was a boy. He wouldn’t say that he was envious of his sister.

Another thing was that Su Chenghui was actually very good to him. His relationship with Su Chenghui was pretty good.

“It’s decided then. Give him a call...”

Li Qianxue was halfway through her sentence when she saw the gloomy look on her son’s face. She swallowed the rest of her words.

What was she doing? Forcing her son to break off his relationship with Su Chenghui? Forcing her son to disown Su Chenghui?

Even if she divorced Su Chenghui, it was still between her and Su Chenghui. Why did she have to involve her son?

“Forget it.” Li Qianxue waved her hand and sat back on the sofa. “Ask him where he is.”

In a fit of anger, she originally wanted to let Su Yuxin and Su Chenghui have dinner together. She would rather starve than have dinner with Su Chenghui.

However, for the sake of the child, she didn’t want to do this. These were separate matters. She couldn’t vent her anger on the child because of what Su Chenghui had done.

“Mom.” Su Yuxin knew that ever since Li Qianxue and Su Chenghui divorced, she had never liked him. “If you really don’t want to see dad, why don’t we have dinner together and let him solve it himself?”

“That’s enough.” Li Qianxue patted the back of Su Yuxin’s hand. “Do you think I don’t know you? If I really did that, you probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

Su Yuxin didn’t refute. Su Yuxin was the father, and Li Qianxue was the mother.

He really didn’t want their relationship to be too strained. It was a pity that he didn’t have the ability to resolve the tension in front of him.

..

When Li Qianxue and her son arrived at the restaurant that she had booked beforehand, Su Chenghui hadn’t arrived yet. It was better if he didn’t come. They could have a good chat.

Although they had video calls, and they often contacted each other, it was different to see her son with her own eyes.

“Why do you seem a little thin? Is it because your schoolwork is too heavy? You’re overworking yourself.”

“How am I overworking myself? Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Su Yuxin picked up the teapot on the table and poured Li Qianxue some tea. As for the topic of him losing weight, he didn’t reply. Usually, a mother would feel like her child had lost weight as long as she didn’t see him every few days.

“It’s good that you know what you’re doing.”

Li Qianxue came to celebrate Su Yuxin’s birthday this time. “Yuxin, how do you want to celebrate your birthday? You should have good friends in university, right? Why don’t I book a place for you to hold a party and you invite all your classmates and professors over?”

“Mom, there’s no need –” Su Yuxin was only halfway through his words when the door of the private room was opened.

Su Chenghui came. He was stunned when he saw Li Qianxue. He thought she didn’t want to see him.

Li Qianxue really didn’t want to see him. When he entered the room, she turned her gaze away without any intention of looking at him.

The atmosphere in the private room was inexplicably awkward. At this time, Su Yuxin stood up to smooth things over.

“Dad, you’re here? You haven’t eaten yet, have you? The dishes are ready. If you’re here, I’ll ask them to serve the dishes.”

He rang the bell and asked the waiter to serve the dishes. Su Yuxin thought for a moment and asked Su Chenghui to sit on the other side of him. With him around, separating the two of them might reduce the awkwardness.

However, this way, since Li Qianxue was originally looking at him, naturally she could see Su Chenghui.

As for Su Chenghui, his gaze never left Li Qianxue.

“Dad, are you done with your work?”

“Yes.” His face finally showing some relief, Su Chenghui nodded. “It’s going well. I’ll be fine by tomorrow or the day after.”

Su Yuxin’s birthday was the day after tomorrow, and it happened to be Saturday. “What gift do you want, Yuxin? I’ll give it to you.”

“No need, I don’t need anything.”

“Last time, didn’t you say that you like the Aston Martin V12 Vantage? How about I order one for you?”

Su Chenghui remembered seeing the picture of the V12 Vantage on his son’s Wechat moments.

“No need.” This time, it was Li Qianxue who spoke up. Her face was gloomy, and there was a storm gathering in her eyes. “I’ve already bought the car for my son. You don’t have to give it to him.”

When Li Qianxue spoke, there was a flash of mockery in her eyes. “You have to ask before giving someone a gift. It’s clear that you don’t take the children seriously. However, you’ve always been like this. For so many years, apart from seeing you put in great effort to prepare Su Peizhen’s gifts, when have you taken the birthdays of the other two children seriously?”

“Mother.”

Su Yuxin didn’t expect Li Qianxue to take advantage of this opportunity to make trouble. It wasn’t as exaggerated as Li Qianxue said, but relatively speaking, Su Chenghui was a little harsh on him, but this was only because he was a boy, so he understood.

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui didn’t know what he could say. He came from an ordinary background, so his achievements today were all due to his own hard work.

He had never advocated doting on children. Even the gifts given to Su Peizhen in the past weren’t necessarily very valuable. They were all things that they could use on a daily basis.

After all, with Li Qianxue and Old Master Li at home, the children usually had enough.

However, he didn’t expect that Li Qianxue would actually understand such things in this way.

“I have taken the childrens’ birthdays to heart. I didn’t buy a car at that time because Yuxin is currently studying here. if he really needed it, it would be the same if I buy one in Lin City.”

“There’s a time and place for giving a gift. To put it bluntly, isn’t it just about you not caring?”

“He’s just studying here. It’s not appropriate for him to drive a sports car every day.”

“Look at what you’re saying. What’s wrong with my son driving a sports car? Those C-list celebrities drive sports cars all over the street. There’s no reason why Yuxin can’t do it, right?”

“That’s not what I meant at all.” Su Chenghui did not want to quarrel with Li Qianxue, nor did he understand where her anger came from. “I’m saying that Yuxin is still in school.”

Su Yuxin knew why Li Qianxue was angry. However, before he could speak, Li Qianxue’s face had already darkened and was rather ugly.

“Su Chenghui. When Su Peizhen celebrated her eighteenth birthday, you bought her a Ferrari. Do you want me to tell you?”

“I...”

“After so many years, how did you treat Su Peizhen? How did you treat Yuxin and Qingsang? Do you want me to tell you one by one?”

The atmosphere in the private room dropped to freezing point. Su Yuxin felt a headache coming on. “Dad, Mom, stop fighting.”

Li Qianxue couldn’t stay any longer. “Fight? Who wants to fight with him? Look at him. How is he acting like your father? He didn’t even prepare a present for your birthday. Is this how he acts like a father?”

She couldn’t go on and felt frustrated. She stood up and was about to leave.

Su Yuxin quickly pulled her back. “Mom, calm down. It’s not that exaggerated. Dad came to prepare a present for me two days ago. It’s true.”

“What? He randomly picked a watch? Did he ever care about you? Did he ever care about Qingsang?”

Li Qianxue wasn’t a person who liked to dig up old debts. She came out today because she wanted to have a good meal with her son. However, Su Chenghui’s attitude just now really made her angry. “Look at how he treats Su Peizhen, and how he treats you and Qingsang. He doesn’t deserve to be a father.”

“Mom.” Su Yuxin was really a little regretful now. If he had known earlier, he would have let Su Chenghui eat outside. “Dad isn’t like what you said. He’s usually very good to me. You know that.”

Su Yuxin really didn’t think this was a big deal. He had allowance on a daily basis, and Old Master Li and Li Qianxue wouldn’t let their child suffer.

Earlier, he and Su Peizhen had both learned to invest themselves. He would buy whatever he wanted. He didn’t understand why Li Qianxue was so angry.

Or maybe he knew, but he really didn’t think it was necessary.

“Mom, you’re here to accompany me, right? Can we have a good meal together?”

Li Qianxue didn’t say anything. Looking at her son’s face, she finally sat down again.

At this time, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Li Qianxue ordered Su Yuxin’s favorite dishes. No matter how capable she was outside, she really doted on her two children.

At this moment, she didn’t want to mess around with Su Chenghui anymore. She kept putting food in Su Yuxin’s bowl. However, from the beginning to the end, she didn’t look at Su Chenghui.

After all, she didn’t want Su Yuxin to worry. He felt very suffocated during the meal, but he still had to force a smile on his face.

This made Li Qianxue feel very uncomfortable. Finally, after the meal, Su Chenghui got up and she shot daggers at him.

..

That night, after ending the video call with Su Qingsang, she called Old Master Li again. Li Qianxue went out of the room to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water.

When she walked out of the room, she saw Su Chenghui sitting on the sofa. He was holding a cigarette in his hand, but he didn’t light it. He just held it in his hand.

Li Qianxue stopped in her tracks. “If you want to smoke, go out and smoke. Don’t pollute the air here.”

“I don’t smoke.” Su Chenghui did want to use the tobacco to let himself relax for a while, but it was just a thought.

He threw the cigarette into the trash can and stood up to look at Li Qianxue.

“Qianxue, I don’t want to smoke.”

He didn’t understand why he explained so carefully. Li Qianxue didn’t care about this anyway. “Just don’t smoke in this room. You don’t have to tell me. You can do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Qianxue.” Su Chenghui took two steps forward and stood in front of her. He looked at her face with a hint of pain in his eyes. “I’m not careless. Whether it’s Yuxin or Qingsang, they’re all my children. I...”

“They’re all your children. So? On Su Peizhen’s birthdays, you hold parties every year. Every year, you invite a group of people to celebrate her birthday. Every year, you prepare birthday gifts for her. What about the other two?”

“Qianxue.”

Su Chenghui’s expression was bitter. “It’s not fair for you to criticize me like this, because you’re the one who wanted to hold a party for Peizhen. Don’t you remember? I tried to stop you a long time ago. You were the one who insisted on celebrating her birthday.”

“Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue was furious. “How dare you mention it? Why shouldn’t I celebrate? That’s because I thought she was my child. As the granddaughter of the Li family, of course she can enjoy the treatment she deserves.”

“But what about you? What did you do? All these years, Qingsang and Su Peizhen’s birthdays were only one day apart. What about Qingsang? Have you ever cared?”

Su Chenghui couldn’t refute her, but at this moment, he understood one thing.

Perhaps what Li Qianxue hated the most wasn’t that he didn’t love her, but because, “Qianxue, you hate me because you think that I mistreated my two children?”

“Do you dare to say that you did not? Su Chenghui.” Li Qianxue’s expression turned cold, and her gaze became extremely sharp. “Do you dare to say that you did not mistreat your two children?”
