To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 343
Chapter 343: You Are But an Illegitimate Daughter
“Is this how you walk?”
The voice was sharp, and it was speaking in Japanese. Su Qingsang didn’t understand a word of it. Her knowledge of English was quite impressive. She had never learned Japanese before, though.
Since she didn’t understand Japanese, she could only apologize in English.
She saw an extremely familiar face when she looked up.
“It’s you!” Qiu Junjiao was reminded of the grim, murderous look on Huo Jinyao’s face the other day as soon as she saw Su Qingsang.
She had never been humiliated like that before. She had never had such a scary experience either. All these had been brought about by Su Qingsang.
Qiu Junjiao had wanted to let the matter rest because she didn’t want to talk about it again. Who could have guessed that she would meet Su Qingsang here and be reminded of all the enmities and hatred of the past.
Her gaze fell on Su Qingsang who was in casual wear because she had planned to go out to walk around.
She wore sports shoes with a pair of jeans and a red-color woolen hoodie.
This get-up made Su Qingsang look two or three years younger than usual. She looked just like a fresh university graduate.
Qiu Junjiao squinted her eyes at Su Qingsang, who saw in them unhappiness and jealousy.
Su Qingsang didn’t expect that she would meet all these people in Japan.
Everybody was present today: Su Peizhen, Qiu Junjiao, Luo Meishan, and Song Youhe. When she saw them, they saw her too.
The air momentarily froze. Su Qingsang blinked her eyes and nodded to greet them as she looked at Su Peizhen, who was walking towards them behind Qiu Junjiao.
After she finished greeting them, she recalled that Xiang Caiping was still waiting for her. Therefore, she lifted her foot in preparation to leave.
“Stop!” Qiu Junjiao shouted out at Su Qingsang.
Su Qingsang stopped with her foot in midair and looked at Qiu Junjiao. Qiu Junjiao was also looking at her. She was obviously unhappy.
Su Qingsang didn’t feel that her life had changed. Other people, however, found it hard to adapt to the change in her identity.
Every dog has its day. The woman that they had despised and belittled, someone who was seen as below them, was suddenly above them.
Although Su Qingsang didn’t do anything, the change in her status was enough to make Qiu Junjiao and the others uneasy.
“Is anything else the matter?” Su Qingsang was anxious to go find Xiang Caiping. Today was New Year’s Day. She was worried that it would be too crowded if she went late.
“Yes, there is.” Qiu Junjiao had recalled being strangled by Huo Jinyao the moment she saw Su Qingsang. “You had knocked into me just now. Shouldn’t you be apologizing?”
Su Qingsang was too lazy to explain that she had already said sorry a moment ago. Instead, she just nodded. “Sorry. I wasn’t looking at where I was going.”
Although she was sincere, Qiu Junjiao felt that she wasn’t being serious enough.
“I see. You weren’t looking at where you were going. Now that your status has improved, you can walk horizontally with your nose pointing up. How can you see where you are going like this?”
That sounded a little too harsh. Su Qingsang frowned slightly as her lips moved. She wanted to rebut her but she recalled that Xiang Caiping was still waiting for her. She only raised her eyebrow slightly.
“Have you finished? Can I go now?”
Her nonchalance made Qiu Junjiao even angrier. “What are you so proud about, Su Qingsang? What do you have to boast of?”
How am I being boastful? Su Qingsang didn’t understand. She didn’t want to complicate matters before such a big group by arguing more.
Qiu Junjiao got even madder as she looked at Su Qingsang. “Su Qingsang, don’t think too highly of yourself. What are you? You are but an illegitimate daughter.”
