I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 465

Going back to the Su family?

"No, never!" Shu Qing looked at Su Huaibei and Su Shaoqing in horror. She had never expected to see not only Su Huaibei, but also Su Shaoqing getting involved in this.

Despite all the time spent together with Su Huaibei these years, she didn't know much about him. Put it another way, in fact, she had never thought about getting to know him. She might have known the young Su Huaibei, but since all the incidents that had happened, Shu Qing felt very distant from Su Huaibei, as though a wall was set between them, tearing them further and further apart.

As with Su Shaoqing, she hadn't the least idea about him. The only information she got was that Su Shaoqing was Su Huaibei's nephew. Shu Qing was still haunted by the experience a few days ago and therefore, she reckoned that Su Shaoqing was definitely not an easy-going person either.

"The way Aunt Qing behaves has me thinking if Uncle Huaibei and I have bullied you!" A long and narrow glint flashed across his eyes, Su Shaoqing looked up toward the driver and said, "Su family of the Jiang City, do you know the way?"

The driver was uptight and turned to look at Fu Yi. "Let's drive."

The driver continued driving forward. However, listening from time to time to the voices coming from the back seat, he shuddered.

Very soon, the car arrived at the Su Residence. Su Shaoqing did not tell anyone in the family that Su Huaibei was coming home; therefore, when the butler opened the gate and saw that Su Shaoqing had brought home some guests, he was rather surprised but when he saw the face of the other man in the car, he was shocked to the bone. "Mas... Master Huaibei!"

It's Su Huaibei! The butler was so excited that he almost walked straight back into the house without closing the gate. "Master Huaibei is back, Master Huaibei is back!"

At the Su Residence, Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin who were talking in the living room were perplexed upon hearing that. Su Yunwan was the first to rise from her seat and asked, "Who? Who is that?" "Aunt Yunwan, look who's here?"

Su Shaoqing had heard Su Yunwan's voice and he entered the door first. Seeing that his mother, Lin Shuqin was also there, he walked toward her with a grin and greeted, "Mother!" "This boy!" Lin Shuqin smiled and asked, "Who's here again you were saying?"

"Uncle Huaibei!" Su Shaoqing replied and just then, Su Huaibei came in with Shu Qing. Su Huaibei's movement seemed to be a little impaired while Shu Qing was reluctantly entering the door after him. When Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin saw Su Huaibei, their faces brightened up. "Huaibei, you're back!”

"Yunwan, Shuqin!" Su Huaibei curled his lips a little. "Long time no see."

"It's been very long indeed. Where have you been all these years?" Su Yunwan had not seen her brother for a very long time so she was over the moon. Lin Shuqin had mixed feelings about seeing Su Huaibei but when she saw Shu Qing, she was clearly surprised. "You- you..."

"It's you!"

Su Yunwan's face also darkened. "Why are you here?"

Shu Qing sneered, "It's been so long since we last met, Ms. Su and Mrs. Su!"

Su Yunwan squinted at Shu Qing and gritted her teeth, replying, "Long time no see, Ms. Jiang Yuan!"

Shu Qing froze upon hearing that. She clenched her fist tightly and said, "Ms. Su has mistaken. I'm Shu Qing."

"Ha!" Su Yunwan looked at Shu Qing while still sneering, "How could I have mistaken? Ms. Jiang Yuan is a natural beauty; everyone who sets eyes on you couldn't help but fall for you. Huaibei even abandoned his family because of you and he has been away for 25 years."

Shu Qing's face turned pale. "Is Ms. Su blaming me now?"

"I won't dare!" With a long face, Su Yunwan was clearly displeased with Shu Qing. "Oh right, should I call you Shu Qing or Jiang Yuan now?"

The expression on Shu Qing's face changed perceptibly. "Mr. Su is finally back after such a long time. I suppose an outsider like me should just leave!"

"Stop right there!"

Su Huaibei's face darkened instantly. "Don't you dare leave!"

Shu Qing stopped in her tracks and heard Su Huaibei said to her, "If you don't wish to be bothered by Shen Qianan in the future, you'd better listen to me!" Su Huaibei reached out and grabbed Shu Qing's arm "Yunwan, Shuqin, this is my wife, Jiang Yuan!"

Both Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin were taken aback but before they could say anything, Shu Qing had got ahead of them.

When Shu Qing heard what Su Huaibei said, she shook his hand off and retorted, "Su Huaibei, when did I marry you? Let me be very frank with you, I'll rather live alone till the day I die than to marry you!" "Then who are you going to marry? Shen Feng, huh? He wasn't even going to marry you twenty-five years ago. Do you think he'll marry you now?" Su Huaibei held Shu Qing's chin tightly and added, "You listen carefully to me now, you're mine even if you were dead!"

Shu Qing was astounded, so were Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin.

They did not know what happened over these twenty years but they could sense a deep contempt within the tone of Shu Qing toward Su Huaibei.

However, wasn't it because they were so madly in love with each other that they eloped together from Jiang City? What's going on now?

"Su Huaibei, you could keep me prisoner but you can never have my heart!"

"You're heartless! What do I need your heart for?" Su Huaibei sneered, "I only want you by my side and I'll be contented."

"You..."

"If you don't want anything to happen to Shen Qianan, then listen to me and don't challenge my limits. I'm sure you know how easy it is for me to take action against anyone." Shu Qing was quivering but not a word was spoken.

Seeing that Shu Qing had clammed up, Su Huaibei reached out and caressed her cheek, speaking very tenderly, "That's my girl." And then, he turned around swiftly, just to replace that Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin were both looking at him with startled expressions. "I know we haven't seen each other for a very long time but why are you looking at me like that?"

"No- Nothing!" Su Yunwan could feel that Su Huaibei had changed a lot. As to what made him the way he was, she had no idea. "Since you're back now, please don't leave anymore!"

"Alright!" Su Huaibei nodded. "Is my room still available?"

"Yes. The butler made the maid clean it every day. Are you moving back?"

"This is my home after all. Since I'm back now, of course I'd be staying here!" Su Huaibei nodded again.

Upon hearing that, Su Yunwan was delighted. "Good. I'll get someone to clean up the room right now!"

Right after that, Su Yunwan left to make arrangements for the room to be cleaned. At the same time, Lin Shuqin was also pleased. "I'm sure Huainan and Yunqing would be very thrilled to see you home as well!"

With a smile on his face, Su Huaibei replied, "Thank you, Shuqin, for taking care of this family all these years!"

"Don't mention it!" Lin Shuqin smiled and turned to look at Shu Qing with a frown; however, she resorted to silence eventually. "Oh right, your father had gone out with some of his friends a few days ago so you might not be able to see him so soon!"

"Oh, really? He's such an old man now but he's still a man of wide interests it seems." Su Huaibei was still holding Shu Qing's hand tightly as he answered Lin Shuqin. After a while, the butler came down together with Su Yunwan. "Everything is ready. If you need anything else, I'll send for the butler at once."

"Thanks, Yunwan."

"We're family, don't be so courteous with me!"

Watching as Su Huaibei had gone upstairs while forcing Shu Qing to go with him, Su Yunwan turned around and eyed at Su Shaoqing with a frown. "What is going on?"

Su Shaoqing who had been totally ignored all the while raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Has Aunt Yunwan finally thought of me? Hehe." Su Shaoqing laughed lightly and added, "What do you want to know, Aunt Yunwan?"

"What's with your Uncle Huaibei? When did he come back? Also, what's with Shu Qing?"

Pausing for a while, Su Shaoqing looked at Su Yunwan solemnly. "Aunt Yunwan, it's a rather long story. I've also just come to know about it recently. As to why he has come back and his entanglements with Shu Qing, it's too long a story and I don't have not got enough information about it. But haven't you discovered something, Aunt Yunwan?"

"What is it?"

"Do you still remember this person?"

"Who?"

"Shi Nuan. Fu Chengyan's wife, Shi Nuan!"

"She?" Su Yunwan was stunned as she heard the name "Shi Nuan". And then, astonishment crept on her face. "Why did you suddenly bring her up? She..."

She remembered Shi Nuan. She's a girl who leaves a remarkable impression on others. In addition to that, her face is one that can hardly be forgotten. Su Yunwan's face turned gloomy all of a sudden. "You're saying that Shi Nuan is Jiang Yuan's daughter?"

"I suppose she is." Su Shaoqing noticed that his aunt's face was turning dark so he added, "Aren't you curious about who Shi Nuan's biological father might be, Aunt Yunwan?"

"So...?" Out of the blue, Su Yunwan's eyes widened in shock and she turned to look at Su Shaoqing and Lin Shuqin.

Lin Shuqin's eyebrows were almost knitted together. "Shaoqing, this is not something to joke about, are you sure?"

"Not very sure, but I suppose so." Su Shaoqing was wearing a smile. "Shi Nuan was still kept in the dark, but Chengyan was aware. I've discussed this with him and we'll ascertain through investigation. After all, Uncle Huaibei seems to have an inextricable relationship with this Jiang Yuan."

"What about that Shen Qianan you mentioned?" Su Yunwan had a vague impression of Shen Qianan. "Wasn't she and someone of the Fu clan..."

Su Shaoqing nodded. "But that was the past. Also, Fu Chengyan was never interested in her."

"Then Shen Qianan and Jiang Yuan..."

"She should be Jiang Yuan's daughter as well, but she's not Uncle Huaibei's daughter."

Su Shaoqing's words were an implication to Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin that they could treat Shi Nuan as a family member and ignored Shen Qianan when they saw these two persons in the future.

Su Yunwan and Lin Shuqin looked at each other and shook their head. "Sigh, just leave these matters to your Uncle Huaibei. But Shi Nuan..." Su Yunwan heaved a sigh. "Luckily, she's married to Fu Chengyar now and won't be wronged anymore."

"Right!" Su Shaoqing blinked. "Don't worry, Aunt Yunwan, we'll settle all these matters well." And then, Su Shaoqing turned to Lin Shuqin. "By the way, where's father?"

"You brat! So you still remember your father, huh?" Lin Shuqin couldn't help but continue, "Don't think that I don't know what you have been doing outside all day. Are you hanging out again with that Fu Ling recently?"
