Chapter 515: Chapter 515 Everything Will Pass

Su Cheng saw his mother like this, and he felt even worse inside. He always felt that after coming back this time, the relationship between him and his mother had somehow changed.

His mother’s dominance had been evident before, and although Su Cheng was rebellious, more often than not, he accommodated her.

But now that he was back, not only did she look more than ten years older, but she also seemed to have become a clueless child, extremely cautious in everything she did, for fear that a careless mistake might irritate Su Cheng.

He felt helpless. He wanted to help his mother become as confident as she used to be, but it seemed difficult; and it made sense, for when anyone’s pride is trampled underfoot, there will be a substantial change, making them seem obscure and no longer filled with confidence.

Sighing internally, Su Cheng saved the data on his computer and then got up to sit by the side of the Huangpu Madam on the sofa, "Mom, don’t worry, everything will pass, and the situation will definitely get better."

The Huangpu Madam’s eyes reddened, and she held her son’s hand saying, "Su Cheng, you are right, it is your father and I who took the wrong path to achieve our goals, now your father is bearing all the blame alone, with no clue when he can get out, leaving just the two of us, you mustn’t follow in our footsteps."

"I won’t," assured Su Cheng, knowing what his mother was worried about. He nodded forcefully and said earnestly, "Mom, my cooperation with He Xing is absolutely without any problems, on the contrary, I hope to establish a long-term partnership with He Group. So you must get rid of all the messy thoughts in your head and stop regarding He Group as our enemy, understood?"

The Huangpu Madam’s eyes flashed with a hint of resistance, but still, she nodded in agreement.

Su Cheng kept his gaze fixed on the Huangpu Madam, how could he miss even the slightest expression on her face?

After some thought, he continued, "Mom, you have to understand one thing, it was we who first used improper means to snatch the three-billion-big contract from He Xing’s hands, and it was we who operated against the rules in this project; He Xing’s reporting of us was merely for our irregularities, it was others who took the opportunity to expose us, which is why Huangpu Group has fallen to its current state."

Although Su Cheng had been working very hard to save Huangpu Group since his return, he always avoided discussing this point with the Huangpu Madam, because he was afraid it would upset her.

But now he felt it was necessary to discuss the matter, as avoiding pain was not a way to solve problems. It would only turn the problem into a chronic disease, ultimately becoming a malignant tumour in everyone’s hearts that would never heal.

As expected, the Huangpu Madam went pale, utterly devoid of color, even her lips trembling.

Su Cheng’s heart ached too, but he knew clearly that only by realizing for herself would his mother understand that He Xing was not an enemy but a friend.

Time ticked away. As the position of the sun shifted slightly, the Huangpu Madam finally spoke, "Su Cheng, you are right. In the end, it was us who wronged He Group first, they were just seeking vengeance, and if we could play the game, we had to be prepared to accept the loss. And also..."

As she spoke, a sharp light burst forth from the Huangpu Madam’s eyes, so bright it was hard to look directly, "And now, there are plenty eager to kick Huangpu Group while it’s down. With our cooperation with He Group, those people might hold back, thinking we still have the power to turn things around."

His mother had never disappointed Su Cheng, and he nodded with satisfaction. At that moment, his heart swelled with confidence, and he declared, "Mom, rest assured, I will never let others look down on Huangpu Group. I will ensure Huangpu Group thrives under my leadership."

The Huangpu Madam’s eyes misted, and without a word, she just kept nodding.

In the past, the couple did everything imaginable to get Su Cheng into Huangpu Group, they even considered developing an entertainment division to attract him, but Su Cheng remained unmoved and insisted on starting his own business.

In the end, Su Cheng joined Huangpu Group, but the manner of his joining was so tragic and heroic.

The Huangpu couple worked hard to expand their business empire so that Su Cheng would have an easier time when he took over. But they could never have predicted such an outcome where Su Cheng became the most pitiful heir in the history of Huangpu Group. He had never enjoyed the glory Huangpu brought but was left cleaning up the mess his parents left.

Notification sounds came from the computer, signaling new messages.

As Su Cheng stood and headed towards the computer, he said, "Mom, if you want to come back to work, start tomorrow. Go back and rest early now, and I’ll join you for dinner after I’ve handled things here."

The Huangpu Madam slowly stood and walked towards the door. As she reached the entrance, she stopped and looked back at Su Cheng, "Su Cheng, do you still like Fu Han?"

This question came so unexpectedly, and at a moment when Su Cheng was utterly unprepared, that he was caught off guard and momentarily stunned before he finally responded, "Mom... Why are you asking this question?"

The Huangpu Madam managed a smile, "Mom thinks that if you truly like Fu Han, then go ahead. Love is the cheapest yet the most precious thing. If your marriage could also have love, I think that would be wonderful."

The vast CEO Office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, calm as if nothing had happened, yet if you listened carefully, you could distinctly hear the pounding of someone’s heart like the beating of a drum.

How could Su Cheng’s heart be calm? Not to mention what his mother had done behind his back to keep him from Fu Han, just the hurtful words she had said to Fu Han were enough to distress him deeply.

Now that his mother had finally agreed, Su Cheng had lost the right to pursue Fu Han.

He wished he could appear more relaxed and composed, but he knew his expression must be far from pleasant, "Mom, thank you, but there’s no possibility between me and Fu Han now."

"Why?" The Huangpu Madam, agitated, took a couple of steps toward Su Cheng. Perhaps realizing her emotions had surged, she paused and then resumed more gently than before, "Is it because Fu Han likes He Xing? They aren’t married yet. You can still fight for her. I think you’re every bit as good as He Xing, and besides, didn’t Fu Han used to be with you? She must have liked you, so... so don’t give up, you liked her so much..."
