Chapter 434: Chapter 379: Birth Mother Indifferent Like a Chrysanthemum? The Young Miss Sabotages Everything with a Backhand 19_2
Su Zhiruan only needed one sentence to instantly make Ning Fu’s limbs go cold and her head dizzy.
Perhaps others didn’t understand why, how Su Zhiruan’s seemingly irrelevant words could turn Ning Fu’s face ashen so suddenly.
But to everyone in this household, especially the servants, it was all too clear.
This morning, Su Qin had been resenting Ning Fu for this very matter at Xie Yanshang’s place, and now, Su Zhiruan’s words had dragged him back into that mood, so he slammed the table and stood up.
“Ning Fu, you’ve got some nerve! You think I don’t know about your usual attitude?! Do you take me for a fool? Am I Su Qin blind and deaf? Do you think I’m oblivious to everything in this house?! Do you really think you can deceive me outright, raise my daughter this way, what exactly are your intentions!”
Su Qin was now utterly furious; no one had ever crossed his red line before, but this time Ning Fu had done it.
Seeing his determination and anger, Ning Fu could only open her mouth at last.
“If you’re saying I abused her, I don’t know what to say!” Ning Fu stared at him with her lips puckered, “Decades of marital affection, could it really not compare to a single sentence from her?! I’m utterly defenseless, think what you will!”
“You’re defenseless?! All those ‘good deeds’ you’ve done and you still claim innocence!!” Su Qin was even more infuriated by her words.
Ning Fu claimed she was defenseless, yet her attitude clearly showed she was not admitting her faults, hoping for Su Qin to back down.
She didn’t consider the seriousness of the situation.
If this were small bickering between a young couple, Su Qin might have eased their relationship for the sake of decades of marital affection and spoken more kindly—after all, even in the midst of a quarrel, reconciliation often followed.
But now, Su Zhiruan’s health had deteriorated to the point where even the doctor shook his head; she was full of hidden ailments. Just the four simple words “malnutrition” already indicated that for the past decade, Ning Fu hadn’t treated her own daughter well.
There were other numerous illnesses.
If Ning Fu had been a caring mother attentive to her daughter, how could it have come to this? The Su Family was not without money; even less wealthy families find ways to heal their children’s ailments, but Ning Fu had consistently lacked concern for Su Zhiruan.
Thinking of this, Su Qin was filled with regret and found Ning Fu’s face increasingly monstrous.
The young couple of the past had changed dramatically!
In Su Qin’s eyes, Ning Fu was still enveloped in a halo of ‘white moonlight,’ but as this aura was stripped away bit by bit, what was exposed was a monster that ate human flesh and drank human blood. He didn’t even want to acknowledge that this was the ‘white moonlight’ of this year, the wife Ning Fu he had once deeply loved.
But now, for some reason, she had become .
Su Qin’s heart was filled with sorrow.
But even more so with resentment.
The once loving couple had come to loathe each other, turning into a pair of resentful spouses.
Seeing the two of them drawn swords at this moment, Su Tianci dared not say anything more.
He was young, but observant and perceptive. Since Su Zhiruan had produced the recording, he had stopped talking, waiting for a good opportunity to do something that might earn Su Qin’s forgiveness.
Su Zhiruan watched this farce, shaking her head. She put away the recording and sat down quietly to watch the drama unfold.
“So why do you treat Ruanruan this way? She is your daughter! You treat Tianci so well, but you are unreasonably harsh and demanding on Ruanruan, she’s your own flesh and blood! Both are our children; why differentiate between them? If I had not accidentally discovered the truth this time, how long were you planning to deceive me? Were you really going to wait until you had tormented this daughter to death before telling me?!”
Over the years, Su Qin realized he had been kept in the dark. When he and Ning Fu first married, the Su Family’s business was not very promising, so he was away on business trips all the time, hoping to expand the company. He always thought that a wife as kindhearted and gentle as Ning Fu, with her indifferent character, would take good care of the household. But who could have expected his child to have suffered under Ning Fu’s mistreatment for so many years.
Even if Ning Fu didn’t like her, she shouldn’t have tormented her .
