Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Zhixi Also Came
So he could only rely on his illness to beg Ning Yichen to let him off the hook.
But it seemed that Ning Yichen had no intention of taking his plea into account.
“Young Master Ning…” Su Guo’an had no choice but to lower his stance once more, “We are just ordinary folks, and no matter what, it was my daughter who saved you. Can’t you show a little mercy for the sake of the monk if not the Buddha…”
Ning Yichen’s eyes twitched violently!
What Su Guo’an said had struck a nerve! Even though they were both his daughters, this man kept shielding Su Lianxi… If it weren’t for his selfishness and favoritism, Su Lianxi would never have had the chance to succeed!
His eyes seemed to fill with ice: “So father-in-law still remembers Su Zixi? If Zixi is willing to plead for you, I might consider letting you off the hook. But it seems to me that Zixi has already severed ties with you as a father, hasn’t she?”
Su Guo’an’s face became even more unsightly: “…I know Zixi is here too, and she still has a place in her heart for her dad.”
Ning Yichen laughed mockingly, “Yes, she still remembers your kindness for raising her. Yet you give no thought to her feelings and instead seek to use her to secure benefits for yourself and your daughter Su Lianxi, fully aware of the suffering she went through!”
Exposed so bluntly by Ning Yichen, Su Guo’an’s face blended embarrassment with guilt, losing all color.
He couldn’t help frowning and clutched at his chest with a hand.
Seeing this, Lin Shuyue was startled, “Guo’an, are you alright?”
Su Lianxi finally couldn’t hold back when she heard this: “Yichen, direct all your anger and dissatisfaction at me! Dad is sick!”
Ning Yichen let out a cold laugh, glanced at her indifferently, and then turned to leave the ward.
Su Lianxi’s tears finally broke free and rolled down her cheeks.
After having the doctor take her blood and bone marrow, Su Zixi walked towards the outside of Su Guo’an’s ward. But when she reached the door, she unexpectedly overheard Ning Yichen’s and Su Guo’an’s exchange.
Her steps halted abruptly.
Hearing Su Guo’an invoking her name to plead with Ning Yichen, she could not help but laugh silently.
Actually, she wasn’t surprised at all.
Although Su Guo’an was selfish and greedy, he was not completely without sentiment; it’s just that all his affections were given to Su Lianxi and her mother. Even though he was so ill and his future uncertain, he still thought of securing a way out for Su Lianxi.
If Su Guo’an truly had been cold-blooded and heartless from the start, then so be it, but he clearly adored Su Lianxi.
At this thought, Su Zixi laughed at herself sarcastically.
Hadn’t she already come to terms with all of this? Why did it still hurt?
Huo Yanhui, standing beside her, saw her dejected expression and comfortingly patted her shoulder.
Su Zixi shook her head at him with a smile, signaling that she was fine.
Soon, she heard Ning Yichen refuting Su Guo’an’s words. His voice was cold and mocking, so different from his usual self, yet Su Zixi’s heart couldn’t help but feel warmed.
Only at that moment did she fully realize that Ning Yichen was a victim too.
Before long, Su Zixi heard clear footsteps; she guessed that Ning Yichen was coming out and quickly grabbed Huo Yanhui’s sleeve. Huo Yanhui, glaring at her, had no choice but to hustle with her to a nearby emergency exit for cover.
Unfortunately, they were too slow, and Ning Yichen had already seen her.
His voice was very soft, yet it made Su Zixi’s steps freeze in place.
