Even as he fell asleep, he kept on dreaming. He always ended up regretting in his dream — regretting that he had swapped the children from the beginning.
Later on, he would dream about the moment many years later when Xiang Caiping knew that he had swapped the babies. Aside from feeling upset, she blamed him.
Finally, he dreamt of Li Qianxue, who almost went insane the moment she knew that her daughter was swapped. Then, he woke up from the nightmare of Li Qianxue stabbing him with a knife.
After he woke, that overly-realistic dream made him doubt if he would really experience these things one day— If he would ever really met with a fate like that.
“Dad.”
When she saw Su Chenghui zoning out, Su Peizhen was extremely displeased. “Talk to me, please. Did you make those two pay for what they did?”
“Peizhen. Don’t be stubborn.”
After that dream, Su Chenghui had his mind set on not letting anybody know that the children had been swapped… at least not in the foreseeable future.
That meant he wouldn’t allow Su Peizhen to find any faults with Su Qingsang. “Our company is now working closely with Huo Jinyao. You had better not be pestering Su Qingsang.”
“Dad.” Su Peizhen listened to those words with disbelief. “What’s the meaning of this? Are you suggesting that company matters are more important than family honor?”
“That’s not what I meant.” Su Chenghui rubbed the point between his brows. He had doted on her so much that he had unknowingly spoiled her. Now she thought that she could do as she pleased.
Looking at her and thinking about Su Qingsang, he could not imagine how Xiang Caiping would react once she knew the truth.
“Peizhen.” There was a rarely heard trace of fatigue in Su Chenghui’s voice. “You’re the most important thing in my heart. Be it the company or Su Qingsang, none of them can compare to you. The reason why I disallow you to provoke Su Qingsang is that, first, there is no need to; second, Su Qingsang is now currently under Huo Jinyao’s protection. If we get into conflict with the Huo family, we won’t gain anything from it.”
“So are we just going to let it slide?” Su Peizhen simply could not swallow it.
“Of course not.” Su Chenghui got up, walked to face Su Peizhen and gripped her shoulders. “Peizhen, believe me. In this world, you don’t win by getting an upper hand first. The true winners are the ones who laugh last.”
When Su Peizhen heard that and saw the seriousness in her father’s eyes, she nodded abruptly. “Dad, do you mean you’ve already thought of a way to deal with that pair?”
“Of course.” Glossing over her venomous tone, Su Chenghui finally stopped regretting the decision he made in the beginning. “Peizhen, you’ve got to believe your father. You’ll be the one who wins in the end.”
“Alright.” Su Peizhen felt much better now that he had given her his word. “I believe you, Daddy.”
Since Su Chenghui had said that, she would just wait for Su Qingsang to meet with misfortune.
…
The first thing Su Qingsang did once she entered the department was to send out the gifts meant for the director and the doctors.
She had been out and about in the months she had been married — one day she would be at Rong City and the next in Japan. She took more days off in these past few months than in the previous several years combined.
In truth, she was quite embarrassed about it as well. Thankfully, Zhang Qiubai was a nice person. Chen Xiaoyu as well. The two directors were great — the doctors and nurses in the department were also very nice.
After the gifts had been sent out, Su Qingsang started to be swarmed with work.
At the end of the year, there were many who married and many who were about to have a baby. Su Qingsang dived into the pile of work after many days of rest, losing herself in her tasks.
In the period she had been in Japan, the gynecology and obstetrics department took in a few more pregnant women who were about to go into labor. Two amongst them had risky pregnancies and required special attention.
Su Qingsang went through their medical records and thought of returning to her office to study them. Then, in the corridor, she saw Li Qianxue.
