After Su Guoan had seen his daughter and future son-in-law out with a smile, he targeted his other daughter again. “You actually dared to frame your younger sister after messing around outside!”
Ning Yichen’s words made her guilty as charged! He was infuriated as he turned around to look at two helpers before saying, “Bring the Elder Young Mistress back to her room and keep your eyes on her!”
All of a sudden, Su Zhixi realized that this was not the right time to feel upset and helpless! She wanted to turn around and escape, but she was too late…
After being locked up in the room by the helpers, she found herself sinking into the depths of despair.
No, I cannot resign myself to doom!
Just as she was wracking her brain to think of solutions, her father’s angry bellow was heard coming from downstairs. “Who are you guys? What do you guys want?”
Following that, she heard Lin Shuyue’s frightened shriek!
It seemed like there were intruders in the house.
She balled up her fists. Perhaps this is an opportunity for me to escape…
All of a sudden, her bedroom door was pushed open and an uncle, who was dressed in a suit, stood at the entrance. He smiled and said, “Are you Ms. Su Zhixi? Our Young Master wants to meet you.”
She looked warily at him and replied, “Who is your Young Master?”
“You’ll know very soon.” The uncle smiled, and his gaze was very gentle and even… endearing.
Furthermore, this uncle seemed a bit familiar.
She shook her head. She must have been mistaken!
“This way please.” The uncle moved aside and gestured.
So she had no choice but to leave.
Looking at how things had become, she knew she had no other choice. Although she had no idea what had happened, this might not be bad for her.
In the living room downstairs, the bodyguards donning suits stood in two rows while Su Guoan shrank his shoulders beside the sofa. He kept wiping the perspiration on his forehead while Lin Shuyue, who was held down by the bodyguards, appeared petrified.
Su Zhixi took a deep breath and walked to the center of the living room.
She saw a man sitting on the sofa.
His arms were placed casually on the back of the sofa and his long legs were crossed. He looked like a regal king as he exuded a noble aura.
This man’s face was incredibly good-looking! Those dark eyes, sharp nose, and thin lips were as perfect as a god’s.
The moment she appeared, his eyes became fixed on her. Those dark and deep eyes were like the darkest starry night…
All of a sudden, her expression turned ugly!
Isn’t this man the one who kicked me out of the room this morning?
W-what is he doing here? Is he here to settle old scores with me?
Her already jelly-like legs could not help but shiver.
Standing on one side, Su Guoan smiled obsequiously. “Young Master He, my daughter is recalcitrant, and if she has offended you, please feel free to punish her! I have no objection!”
She bit her lips!
Regardless of how many times her father had let her down in the past, her heart ached when she heard him say that.
The man who was sitting on the sofa frowned, and the bodyguard swiftly took Su Guoan away and placed him alongside Lin Shuyue in the corner.
Su Zhixi widened her eyes in fear upon seeing that.
If he was here to settle old scores with her, then she would definitely be in trouble!
On the other hand, He Jingyao captured the fear in her eyes.
It seemed like she had not washed up properly and rested well ever since she left his room in the morning. Her disheveled hair covered her face and only her bright and alluring eyes could be seen.
However, those eyes were overwhelmed with fear, like that of a frightened young deer.
As he thought of the memories from last night, his throat tightened.
