Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Platinum Ring (1)
Yangdong City First Hospital.
The atmosphere in Su Guo’an’s hospital room remained dismal. After Su Zixi left, Lin Shuyue had been sobbing continuously, annoying Su Guo’an immensely.
“Haven’t you had enough? I’m not dead yet!” he yelled at her impatiently.
“When you’re truly dead, I promise not to shed a single tear!” Lin Shuyue glared at him fiercely.
“Enough, both of you, stop fighting!” Su Lianxi stood up from her seat, her face darkening, “Mom, give me the keys. I need to go home.”
Lin Shuyue was taken aback: “Home?”
“Yes, the place where you and dad live!” Su Lianxi said with a sarcastic curl of her lips, “Or do you think the Ning Family feels like home to me?”
Although she lived with Ning Yichen, to her it felt like a cage. Ning Yichen acted as if she didn’t exist, and the butler and servants never showed her a friendly face.
At her words, Lin Shuyue’s expression turned sad, and she silently handed over the keys.
“What are you going back home for now?” Su Guo’an asked, startled.
With a cold laugh, Su Lianxi said, “Can’t I go back to rest, take a shower, and change clothes? I have been here with you for two days!”
Su Guo’an looked at the dark circles under his younger daughter’s eyes and couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache. Since Su Zixi wasn’t his daughter, Su Lianxi was his only blood relative.
With this thought, he sighed, “Go ahead then, and don’t bother coming back tonight. I’m not handicapped; I’ll be fine on my own.”
He looked at Lin Shuyue: “You should go with Lianxi, too. Get some good sleep.”
Lin Shuyue’s eyes reddened again.
“Stop crying, your tears are giving me a headache!” Su Guo’an rubbed his temples in pain.
“Mom, come back with me. I have something I need to talk to you about,” Su Lianxi said to Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright.”
After all… Su Guo’an wouldn’t be dying anytime soon, and Lin Shuyue knew that deep down this man was afraid of death. He was just being stubborn for the moment, but when there was no way out, he would still give in.
Mother and daughter, Lin Shuyue and Su Lianxi, returned home in silence.
After moving from Yanzhou City, Su Guo’an had bought an apartment in Yangdong City. Lin Shuyue, who was used to living in a villa, found this hard to adapt to. Originally, Lin Shuyue had insisted on a villa, but Su Guo’an needed the money as capital for his startup, so he did not agree.
Although Su Lianxi didn’t usually live at home, the apartment had two bedrooms and one living room, and they still kept one room for her. Most of her belongings were in that room.
As soon as they arrived at the apartment, Su Lianxi rushed into her own room and started frantically searching.
Lin Shuyue had been about to take a shower, but was startled by the clanging sounds from her daughter’s room. She hurriedly went in and asked: “Lianxi, what are you looking for?”
Su Lianxi continued her search without responding, rummaging through everything as if something was burning in her eyes.
Lin Shuyue felt a tremor of fear. Ever since Su Guo’an had been hospitalized, she realized that Su Lianxi had been acting somewhat unusual… Could there be something she didn’t know about?
“Lianxi, say something will you, what’s going on?” Lin Shuyue pressed anxiously.
“I found it!” Su Lianxi suddenly exclaimed with joy, pulling a small box from the cupboard as if it were some precious treasure.
“Lianxi!” Lin Shuyue called out in shock, “That… that’s not an urn, is it?”
