<h4>Chapter 264: What Is Your Purpose?</h4>


    “Su Qingsang, I really did not know that you were a force to be reckoned with. I guess I have underestimated you in the past. The way you had behaved in the Su Family was all an act, wasn’t it?”


    Su Peizhen really hated herself for her error in judgment. How was she able to trust that Su Qingsang was an innocent person?


    “An act? What do you mean by that?” Su Qingsang raised her brows. She would not want to acknowledge such an usation. “I just did not want to cause any trouble. I’m not what you think. You should look for Qiu Yanbo to resolve the problems you have with him; don’t involve me.”


    Su Peizhen’s face contorted with anger. She did not expect that Su Qingsang could be so cynical.


    On the other hand, Su Qingsang absolutely did not want to care about Su Peizhen’s ridiculous behavior. Her conscience was clear.


    She left without any qualms, leaving Su Peizhen sitting there alone. There was a sh of tant abhorrence in Su Peizhen’s eyes.


    Su Qingsang did not take the matter to heart. Since her birth, Su Chenghui and Li Qianxue spoiled Su Peizhen rotten. She thus ced herself on a pedestal.


    She was merely unable to ept the fact that Qiu Yanbo did not love her anymore. When she met a better man in the future, she would look back and be enlightened about her current predicament.


    On the way back to the hospital, Su Qingsang bought herself a fast-food meal. After being held up by Su Peizhen, she had missed lunch at the hospital canteen.


    When she was nearing the hospital, she almost knocked into someone because of her hurried pace.


    Upon steadying herself, she took a step back.


    “I’m sorry,” she took the initiative to apologize. Upon having a clearer look at the person in front of her, she was momentarily stunned. “Aunty, it’s you.”


    Xiang Caiping’s eyes turned misty and she became emotional as she gazed at Su Qingsang.


    Su Qingsang felt a little awkward under Xiang Caiping’s stare. “Aunty, are you alright? Did I knock into you?”


    Xiang Caiping was at a loss for words. She had been in Lin City for a few days already and had taken great precautions in finding out Su Qingsang’s whereabouts without alerting the Su Family.


    She had originally nned to look for Su Qingsang in the morning. However, due to being advanced in age, she was not in the best of health. The fall she had suffered previously was still causing an ache in her lower back.


    By the time she reached the hospital, Su Qingsang had gone for lunch.


    She felt vexed and regretful. I should have made the decision toe here earlier so that there could be a chance for me to apany my daughter for lunch.


    “Aunty?”


    Su Qingsang was daunted by the way she was being stared at, hence she called out again, “Aunty, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in Rong City?”


    “I, I...” Xiang Caiping’s voice reflected her excitement. “I’m here to look for you.”


    “You’re looking for me?” Su Qingsang furrowed her brows. She had been at the scene of the incident when Xiang Caiping encountered her and Huo Jinyao. She had witnessed very clearly that the car did not knock Xiang Caiping down. Xiang Caiping had taken a fall herself.


    After that, she had continued to express concern over the incident and asked Huo Jinyao about what should be done to follow up on it. He told her that he had settled the matter and evenpensated Xiang Caiping with a hundred thousand dors.


    She did not expect Xiang Caiping toe all the way to Lin City to look for her. Su Qingsang had a subtle look on her face. “Aunty, what is your purpose in looking me up?”


    Xiang Caiping was still thinking about how she should respond when her line of sight fell on the box of food in Su Qingsang’s hand. “You...you have not had your lunch yet? Then...then would you like to have lunch with me?”


    Su Qingsang was confounded for a moment. She felt that the person in front of her was being cryptic and suspenseful. Su Qingsang was having difficulty in seeing through the older woman’s intentions and that made her feel increasingly wary. She only hesitated for a moment before replying.


    “Sure, Aunty. What would you like to have?”


    “Nothing in particr. Anything is fine.” Xiang Caiping’s response reflected her caution. Su Qingsang was increasingly wary, but she still led Xiang Caiping to a restaurant beside the hospital.


    It was not pricey to dine at the restaurant. Since it was near the hospital and provided affordable food options, business was rather good.


    It was now past lunchtime and there were only a few customers in the restaurant.


    Su Qingsang led Xiang Caiping to a table and they settled into their seats. She also ordered food for Xiang Caiping. When the food was served, Su Qingsang looked at Xiang Caiping and asked again, “Aunty, what is your purpose in looking me up?”
