Chapter 390: Chapter 364: Is the Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Mistress Sabotages Effortlessly 4
Su Qin looked closely and found that Su Zhiruan was holding a lunchbox in her hands, the small lunchbox tightly clasped in her embrace.
But at this moment, Su Zhiruan looked at him with clear, tearful eyes.
“Daddy, this is for you to eat. It was given to me by a kind person just now. You must have come in a hurry to find me and haven’t eaten, right? Skipping meals can easily cause stomach pain,” Su Zhiruan pretended to be very empathetic at that moment, looking like a petite high school girl, very delicate, especially with all the wounds on her body, making her look even more pitiful.
At this moment, Su Qin eyes shimmered with tears upon hearing this. He had thought that his daughter kept her distance as she grew older because she wanted to alienate him, knowing the difference between men and women. But he did not expect Su Zhiruan’s actions today, which made him feel both moved and guilty.
After all, it was he who had failed as a father.
“Ruanruan…” At this moment, Su Qin’s voice carried a hint of guilt, and he couldn’t help but step forward and embrace his daughter tightly.
It was only when he heard his daughter’s hiss that he realized he had touched her wounds, and this made him feel even more guilty.
After holding Su Zhiruan, he felt that there was hardly any flesh on her body, even skinnier than her peers.
She was already a high school student, but she was as thin as a primary school student at this moment.
But he clearly remembered how plump his eldest daughter used to be as a child, waddling and calling him daddy.
Her eyes were large and bright. There was a resilient, unyielding quality about her.
“Ruanruan…Daddy isn’t hungry…” Su Qin said with a choked voice, holding onto his daughter’s small hand tightly, unwilling to let go, “Daddy will take you to eat something nice!”
Su Zhiruan obediently passed her hand over, and afterward, Su Qin took his daughter to the car.
Su Zhiruan analyzed thoroughly that although Su Qin had an affair, he was fundamentally kind-hearted and valued blood relations highly. He had the affair mainly because he did not receive the affirmation and support he needed from Ning Fu.
Ning Fu, although outwardly she prided herself on being as indifferent as chrysanthemum and sought neither conflict nor competition, was actually very unsuccessful both as a wife and as a mother.
Outside, Ning Fu never gave Su Qin face, constantly berating and belittling him even in front of others.
At home, she repeatedly brought up their childhood sweetheart bond, which annoyed Su Qin tremendously, sometimes mentioning it once was bearable, but bringing it up over and over again was meaningless.
Men always liked novelty. Even though he felt a youthful gratitude toward Ning Fu, she overwhelmed him by bringing it up every day.
Su Qin’s affair was with a young and beautiful female secretary at their company, who not only looked attractive and spoke sweetly but was also highly educated. To someone like Su Qin, in his middle age, she was fatally attractive.
Moreover, the mistress was short on money, with both parents in the intensive care unit, waiting for her to bring money to pay for their treatment.
When Su Qin gave her some money to meet her urgent needs, the mistress fell hopelessly in love with Su Qin and made the first move herself.
What man could resist such a temptation? A young, beautiful, educated, and eloquent female secretary who adored him wholeheartedly, believing him to be her everything—the best man in the world.
Compared to Ning Fu, who wouldn’t leave him face outside and nagged endlessly about their past at home, she was utterly defeated!
Although Su Zhiruan had a poor impression of both her mother and the mistress, from the perspective of personality, perhaps Ning Fu was more repulsive.
Su Qin already felt guilty toward his eldest daughter, seeing her without a single good piece of clothing, her body wrapped in various gauzes and bandages, emaciated yet still steadfastly calling him daddy.
So he decided, taking her directly to an obscure but expensive and delicious private kitchen. He ordered some gentle dishes for her, “Ruanruan, you’re injured, so it’s best to eat something light for now. Once you’re better, Daddy will take you to eat delicious and spicy food!”
“Yes, yes, as long as I can eat with Daddy, I’ll be very happy no matter what we eat.” Su Zhiruan’s eyes sparkled as she looked up at him with a worshipful gaze.
