Chapter 201 Thank Mrs. Su
She sighed, "Mrs. Su, this is neither the time nor the place to discuss this. We should remain quiet. Grandma is not far gone and is watching..."
Shang Qingmei couldn’t help but shiver, glancing at the black-and-white photo. A chill rose from her feet, causing her to grit her teeth silently.
Su Rongxing looked at her dressed in mourning clothes and felt much displeasure. He had long wanted to speak. Hearing her words, he sneered, "What right do you have to speak for Grandma? What right do you have to stand here on behalf of Su Ronggui? Is your surname Xu? Or is it Su? Don’t forget—your surname is Tu."
Tu Hengsha did not argue with her, only looked at her calmly. Indeed, her surname was neither Xu nor Su. If one spoke of rights, Su Ronggui’s words "let them go" were her greatest qualification. Today, she could stand up for Su Ronggui and shield him from everything. This was her most potent qualification, but she didn’t say it. It wasn’t that she didn’t dare, but she was unwilling. She knew Su Rongxing too well. As soon as she spoke, the scene would explode, and she didn’t want Grandma to see such a scene when she hadn’t been gone long.
She was unaware of what happened behind her, only seeing Su Rongxing’s sharp gaze gradually soften. Then, a cold voice sounded from behind, "The qualification I give, is it enough?"
Tu Hengsha’s eyelids trembled slightly, her lowered hand touched the fibers of her clothes, and her hand trembled softly as well. Instinctively, she sought his hand and found it, clasping it.
His fingers paused briefly, then allowed her to hold them. A pair of bloodshot eyes, deep and cold.
"You..." Su Rongxing had always been afraid to show off in front of him. His gaze fell on their clasped hands, and his eyes reddened with grievance.
Shang Qingmei had her own concerns, unsure if her son knew what happened on the mountain. She wanted to probe. Seeing him, her eyes also reddened, "Ronggui, Mom knows you had deep feelings for Grandma. This happening, Mom is also very sad."
He remained silent, the lines on his face becoming more rigid.
"Ronggui..." Shang Qingmei had been used to his silence for twenty years and was helpless against it. But this time, as Tu Hengsha said, she felt insecure in front of his silence. Her eyes reddened, and, suddenly, tears fell, "Mom really didn’t expect... the road on the mountain was slippery... it’s Mom’s fault for not taking good care of Grandma... I just wanted... just wanted to take Grandma to see Dad..."
