Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Why Should I Admit to Something I Didn’t Do
Su Zixi suddenly felt disheartened.
She cast a cold glance at the few people in the room and turned to leave, but then she heard Su Guo’an’s angry voice, “You stop right there!”
Su Zixi turned around to face her biological father’s furious visage and couldn’t help but laugh, “What, are you going to lecture me again?”
“Why bother? Zhixi, you have truly disappointed me!” Su Guo’an looked pained and frustrated as if she were beyond redemption, and he had broken his heart over this ungrateful daughter.
“Oh, so I’ve disappointed you again, my apologies,” Su Zixi said, her lips curling up in sarcasm.
People who never bothered to acknowledge her achievements, what right did they have to criticize her?
“I know you’re angered that I favor Lianxi, but no matter how upset you are, you can’t do this!” Su Guo’an declared righteously, “I want you to tell the media that the person who did wrong yesterday was you, not Lianxi! The current news is a mess and it’s dragging Lianxi into it too! Your sister is about to marry into the Ning Family and enter the entertainment industry; she can’t be affected by such groundless scandal!
No sooner had Su Guo’an’s emphatic words fallen than Lin Shuyue showed an approving expression.
Looking vulnerable, Su Lianxi said, “Let it be, as long as mom, dad, and Yichen believe me, I don’t care about the rest. Besides, I believe sister didn’t mean for yesterday’s incident to happen.”
Ning Yichen squeezed her hand, though his expression was unreadable.
If last night’s incident was indeed Su Zixi’s doing, then having Su Zixi clarify it would no doubt be the best approach.
Since the matter between him and Lianxi had not yet been disclosed to the Ning Family, any negative publicity surrounding Lianxi could potentially become an excuse for the Ning Family to reject her.
It took Su Zixi a long while to realize what Su Guo’an was asking her to do.
For a moment, she almost thought she had misheard.
Why is it that, despite both being his daughters, he unquestionably believed Su Lianxi and, to clear her of suspicion, he was actually expecting her to take the initiative to admit and clarify?
“Did you hear me?” Su Guo’an glared at her.
Su Zixi turned to see that the doorway had been blocked by two servants.
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud and looked at him coldly, “Why should I admit to something I didn’t do?”
“Su Zixi, if it wasn’t you, then was it your sister?” Su Guo’an trembled with anger, “How could I have raised such a malicious daughter!”
Malicious, what a word to be used.
Su Zixi heard it, and suddenly felt as if her heart was no longer capable of feeling any turbulence.
If it were in the past, hearing Su Guo’an say such things about her might have made her sad or even feel guilty. But now, she felt nothing but the absurdity of it all.
This man was actually her biological father.
“I will not admit to it,” Su Zixi still had only this to say, “Because this is Su Lianxi’s issue, it has nothing to do with me!”
“Sister…” Su Lianxi suddenly spoke up, her voice soft and distant, “I can prove my innocence, sister, can you?”
“That’s right!” Lin Shuyue’s eyes lit up, “Our Lianxi is not like certain people without propriety! We will go to the hospital for an examination!”
Ning Yichen frowned slightly, “That’s not appropriate, it’s too disrespectful to Lianxi.”
“As long as it reveals the truth, I don’t mind,” Su Lianxi said softly.
Su Guo’an nodded in agreement and turned to Su Zixi, “Do you dare to go to the hospital for an examination?”
Su Zixi was shaking with anger, “This is absurd… you’re shameless!”
Su Guo’an’s attitude made Su Zixi feel nauseated! A hospital check? What did they take her for, an item to be sold?
“You don’t have the guts, do you?” Lin Shuyue seemed to have caught her in a trap, “Our Lianxi is innocent, whereas you are not! What more can you argue!”
Just as Lin Shuyue’s triumphant words fell, the sound of frantic footsteps came from outside the door.
A group of well-trained bodyguards burst in, quickly restraining Su Guo’an and the others before they could even react!
“What are you doing?” Su Guo’an shouted angrily.
