96 Chapter 96 I Did Not Betray You
Li Bo led people to take away everything from Su Zixi's room, not sparing even a single piece of paper.
During this process, Su Guo'an and Lin Shuyue's faces were ashen, and they didn't speak for a long time.
Meanwhile, Ning Yichen and Su Lianxi kept their eyes fixed on that USB drive, but Ning Yichen's face was shadowed, while the panic at the bottom of Su Lianxi's eyes could not be hidden.
When the Su Family finally quieted down, Ning Yichen was the first to speak, and his voice was unexpectedly calm, "Lianxi, did you go to meet with the investor last night?"
Su Lianxi shuddered all over, suddenly bit her teeth, rushed to the sofa, and laid her head on Ning Yichen's knee, tears already covering her face.
"Yichen, you must believe me, I did not betray you!" she clung to him like she was grasping at her last straw of salvation, "Really! I can go to the hospital for a check-up anytime; I'm not afraid! Last night… last night I did indeed go to meet the investor, but it wasn't for any unspoken rules. I just wanted him to give me a chance! I really wanted this role, so I made a foolish mistake… But when he started to make advances on me, I realized it was wrong, and I quickly found a chance to run away! I was afraid you would be angry, so… so I didn't dare tell you."
Ning Yichen watched Su Lianxi's tearful performance, his gaze cold and unflinching.
Su Lianxi grew even more scared, her crying voice growing hoarse, "Yichen, can you give me another chance, please? I was wrong, I really was! However you choose to punish me, I don't mind, but please don't ignore me, Yichen... Yichen…"
She desperately tried to grab his hand, her body trembling violently, her face drenched in tears, her makeup, usually so important to her, now completely ruined.
Su Lianxi's crying was not pretense; she was truly scared. With this incident, her chance at the movie's leading role was clearly ruined, and if Ning Yichen broke up with her because of this, it would truly be a case of "losing more by greed."
How could she not be frightened?
Had she known earlier that Su Zixi was still involved with He Jingyao, she would not have so easily framed Su Zixi... Su Lianxi thought bitterly.
But now, what was most important was gaining Ning Yichen's forgiveness.
The only thing she could rely on was Ning Yichen's kindness... the same kindness and weakness she had once scorned, now might be her final lifeline.
Ning Yichen pried her fingers open one by one, his face still expressionless.
Su Lianxi sobbed and then desperately clung to his arm, refusing to let go.
Lin Shuyue also began to cry, "Yichen, this was my fault… When Lianxi came back yesterday, I noticed she seemed disturbed, so I persuaded her to see if there was a turnaround, who knew… But I can assure you, Lianxi would never betray you; she loves you so much, she would never betray you! Today... today it was me who called the media, saying that person was Su Zixi... If you must blame someone, blame me!"
Su Guo'an was shaken upon hearing this.
He said sharply, "Is that really the case, so, Zixi is innocent?"
Had he wronged Su Zixi once again?
Lin Shuyue glared at him fiercely, "Is there any point in saying this now?"
Only then did Su Guo'an realize that Su Zixi had severed ties with him, and having completely offended Young Master He, now his only reliance was Ning Yichen, his prospective son-in-law.
Thus, he quickly followed up with a plea, "Yichen, please give Lianxi another chance."
