To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 351
Chapter 351: You Wouldn’t Let Anybody Bully Me, Right?
After a day, the five-fingered handprint on Su Peizhen’s face faded a little.
Still, she neither applied any medicine to it nor gave it any other treatments. She had purposefully returned home with that look.
She wanted the handprint to serve as a reminder of the humiliation that she had suffered in Japan. She also wanted Su Chenghui to see how Su Qingsang had bullied her.
Su Chenghui had been very busy lately. He was still working overtime despite being on leave.
“Peizhen, you are back! How was your trip to Japan?”
Su Chenghui didn’t stop writing. He only said this one thing when he saw her before lowering his head to return to his work.
“Father…”
By now, Su Peizhen was already pacing in front of Su Chenghui. She sounded different from her usual self. As Su Chenghui looked up, he immediately saw the five-fingered handprint on his daughter’s face.
“What happened to you?”
Su Chenghui immediately stood up, went round his work desk to the front of Su Peizhen and asked, “Who hit you? Who?”
He was visibly angry. He hadn’t imagined that her precious daughter, whom he had treasured like pearls, would be slapped on her face like that!
Who would dare to do such a thing in Lin City?
“Father.” Even if Su Peizhen had been putting on an act right from the start, she was really feeling like she had suffered injustice now, a huge injustice.
She really felt wronged and was filled with anger and hatred.
“Peizhen?” Su Chenghui’s heart ached terribly when he saw Su Peizhen in this state. “Don’t cry. Tell me who hit you first.”
Su Peizhen couldn’t stop herself from feeling emotional. She only calmed down with much effort.
“Peizhen?” Su Chenghui almost felt like dying as he looked at his daughter crying so hard that her eyes had turned red. “Stop crying. Please tell me what happened to you.”
“Father,” said Su Peizhen as she took a deep breath to calm herself down, “you wouldn’t let anybody bully me, right?”
“Of course,” said Su Chenghui as he nodded. “You are my daughter. I will never let anybody bully you.”
“So you will definitely settle the scores with whoever bullied me, right?”
“Of course.” Su Chenghui nodded again. “I will not allow anybody to bully you.”
Su Peizhen felt relieved and nodded her head too. “The person who bullied me is Su Qingsang…”
“Qingsang?” Su Chenghui frowned upon hearing her name. “What happened to the both of you again? Didn’t you go to Japan? How did you…”
Su Chenghui didn’t believe that Su Qingsang would initiate bullying Su Peizhen. He more or less knew what her character was like.
She always avoided trouble wherever possible. Why would she provoke Su Peizhen with no rhyme or reason?
“Father. I have not finished. The person who had bullied me is Su Qingsang’s mother.”
Su Qingsang’s mother? Su Chenghui couldn’t react. “Who did you say it was?”
“Su Qingsang’s mother.” Su Peizhen was still feeling suffocated with grievances as she recalled what Xiang Caiping had said the other day. “Father, her mother actually said my mother was the home-wrecker? She said that my mother had snatched you from her. This is not true, is it? She was lying to me, right?”
“What was that about her mother and your mother?” Su Chenghui suddenly felt confused as he recalled something. “Please speak slowly. I can’t understand you.”
“Father.” Su Peizhen had totally calmed down now. Her heart settled when she saw the look on Su Chenghui. She knew that his heart was really aching for her.
She took a deep breath and told him about her encounter with Su Qingsang and her mother in Japan.
Su Peizhen was less angry with Su Qingsang than he was with Xiang Caiping. Su Qingsang was considered Su Chenghui’s daughter after all.
But who did Su Qingsang’s mother think she was?
