Chapter 379: Chapter 379: Spare the Lives of the Mother and Daughter
Ning Yichen looked at him expressionlessly, “Why is it you, and not He Jingyao? He’s clearly Zhixi’s husband.”
Huo Yanhui raised an eyebrow, “Jingyao and I are as close as brothers, whether it’s me coming or him, there’s no difference.”
“I’m saying Mr. Ning, you’re already married, and my sister-in-law is married too,” Huo Yanhui said earnestly, “There is no more possibility between you two, so what are you still clinging to?”
A trace of pain showed in Ning Yichen’s eyes.
“This is my business, it has nothing to do with you!” he said stiffly.
“Tsk tsk…” Huo Yanhui mused, his gaze shifting behind him, “Look, someone’s here to see you, isn’t that the person you should care about?”
Ning Yichen frowned and turned around, only to see that Su Lianxi had come up behind him at some point.
Her face was as pale as paper, yet she still stared intensely at Ning Yichen, “Dad has woken up, he wants to see you.”
Ning Yichen said indifferently, “I don’t think there’s any need for that.”
“Yichen…” Su Lianxi suddenly grabbed his hand, “After all, I am still your wife, and Dad is your father-in-law… Why are you so heartless! We had so many sweet days together, have you really forgotten everything?”
“Shut up!” Ning Yichen pushed her hand away fiercely, composed himself, then said coldly, “I don’t mind visiting your father, but I do not want to hear you talk about the past again—it makes me feel sick. And Su Lianxi, you do not deserve it!”
His tone was flat, without too much emotion, but each word was like a whip, striking hard at Su Lianxi’s face, leaving her so pained and embarrassed she could hardly stand!
Ning Yichen strode towards Su Guo’an’s ward, and Su Lianxi could only follow with tears.
Huo Yanhui watched the entire scene with relish and couldn’t help but sigh for a long time.
In the ward, Su Guo’an had indeed awakened. He propped himself up to sit on the bed, with Lin Shuyue speaking to him; his face showed a mix of complex emotions.
Seeing Ning Yichen, he quickly mustered a smile, “Yichen, you’re here!”
“Mm,” Ning Yichen responded as aloof as ever, “You should rest well. Don’t worry, at least for now, our Ning Family won’t neglect you.”
Su Guo’an smiled awkwardly, glanced at the silent Su Lianxi, and cleared his throat before saying, “Yichen, I know Lianxi doesn’t have the fortune to be the Ning Family’s young madam, and sooner or later… I don’t know when I’ll recover from my current illness. I’m afraid if I kick the bucket, the two of them will have no one to rely on. So, I’m begging you to be magnanimous and give them a way to live.”
Ning Yichen’s lips curled with mockery, “Why would my father-in-law say such things? Our Ning Family has never harmed you, have we?”
Su Guo’an’s face flushed then paled.
After bringing Su Lianxi and her daughter to Yangdong City, they sold off all the businesses in Yanzhou City and came to Yangdong City with startup capital, hoping to reboot with the help of the Ning Family. But Su Lianxi had been rejected by Ning Yichen so quickly, all his plans fell through. Not only did he fail to ride on the Ning Family’s coattails, but because of their overt and covert opposition, he couldn’t succeed in any business.
This month, he had been anxious day and night about this, and this illness was undoubtedly related to his anxiety.
