Su Zhixi could not contain her feelings, and her hands balled up into fists. “Don’t you have any idea why I became like this?”
“Right, I let your mother down!” Su Guoan’s face turned crimson red. “However, you can’t blame your mother’s death on me entirely! I didn’t want her to die either, but since it had already happened, it’s only natural that I marry your Auntie Lin for Lianxi’s sake. Why can’t you be more tolerant?”
“Tolerant?” She chuckled as though she heard a funny joke. “Don’t you have any idea why Ning Yichen got together with Su Lianxi?”
Embarrassment flashed across her father’s face when he heard that. “Your younger sister didn’t do it on purpose. Anyways, since Yichen is already mistaken and his relationship with Lianxi is great, it would harm them if I tell the truth.”
“To put it simply, you just feel that you’ll benefit from Su Lianxi and Ning Yichen being together.” She laughed and continued, “Daddy, after all these years, I’ve learned to take things easy. I stopped expecting anything from you, so there’s no need for you to tell me all these.”
Her father’s face was red with fury. “Zhixi, you…”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go,” she said apathetically.
“Zhixi!” Her father cried out heart-wrenchingly. “For all these years, even though I care for Lianxi slightly more, I don’t think I ever maltreated you, have I? Don’t tell me that you’re planning to sever ties with me?”
He choked as he said that.
Hearing this, she paused in her footsteps.
She suddenly thought of the time when she was really young and her mother was still around. Her father would carry her in his arms and throw her as he called her “my little princess.”
Back then, she felt that his embrace was heartwarming.
However, after her mother passed away and Lin Shuyue began living in her house with Su Lianxi, they’d stolen all his attention. All his love and care were given to Su Lianxi.
When she was young, she was envious of it and yearned for it, but she eventually dropped the idea forever.
Now, even that little bit of warmth was seeping away from her memories.
“You’ve already sold me to an old fogey in his sixties, so why can’t I treat you like my foe?” Su Zhixi gritted her teeth.
“I was too infuriated the other day, that’s why I said that. I won’t really harm you,” he said ardently. “I’ve also heard from Lianxi that you didn’t end up with Young Master He in the end. Since that’s the case, come back home. Oh, right, I’ve just paid for your next semester’s school fees.”
She looked doubtfully at him. “What are you planning to do?”
“Zhixi, I just wish that you won’t treat me like your enemy.” Her father was dejected. “At the very least, give me a chance to make it up to you.”
She pursed her lips and did not know if she should trust him or not.
His tight slap that day and his attempt to sell her had traumatized her greatly. If it were not for Young Master He, she had no idea where she could have ended up.
“Sure, I’ll inform you of my whereabouts and go home regularly, but that’s all,” she said coldly.
Her father’s face lit up instantly. “That’s great! Right, I booked a table at Jinmanlou Restaurant. Will you be going too?”
She wanted to reject him instinctively, but when she saw the look of pleading and fear on her father’s chubby face, she became softhearted.
She told herself that she would trust him one last time.
