Chapter 248 - : Utter Disappointment
Chapter 248: Utter Disappointment
Only then, Xixi would be the daughter-in-law of the Fu family. With the Fu family as in-laws, the Su family could reach higher in the social ladder.
Su Ruowan could not mask the hatred and wickedness in her eyes any longer. There was only bitter resentment left after utter disappointment. She gazed at the man before her. “Dad, let’s talk tomorrow once you’ve sobered up.”
Completely wasted, Su Yi tilted his head and asked her, “Wanwan, don’t blame me, alright?”
Su Ruowan shook her head while looking back at him weakly and innocently. She showed understanding and answered, “No. Mom and Dad love me the most in this world. I can’t thank you enough for raising me. How could I blame you?”
Blame?
She hated their guts.
Su Ruowan had given some thoughts that they might possibly bring Shen Xi back.
What never occurred to her was that the man would be so ruthless with no regard for their father-daughter relationship. Every word that came out of his mouth hurt her and tore her heart apart.
“I knew it. You’re a good kid.” Su Yi smiled happily.
Su Ruowan helped him into the house. “Dad, let me drink with you since you’re in a bad mood.”
“Sure.” Su Yi was happy as long as he kept his thoughts away from Shen Zhangqing. Seeing that she was sensible and easy to talk to, he sighed.
Well, it paid him off for doting on this girl after all. She was sensible and considerate. If only she was as accomplished and outstanding as Xixi, he would not have to then swallow his pride and cut his own throat with the Shen family.
What a shame!
Unlike Xixi, Wanwan was unattractive and talentless, nor did she have the capability to befriend the Fu family.
Su Ruowan took out a bottle of brandy, Louis XIII Pearl, that Su Yi had reserved for many years. Drawing close with two glasses in hand, he poured him the alcohol. “Dad, is Shen Xi willing to come back?”
Su Yi downed the drink. “How could she refuse to come back? This is her home. Where does she think she’s going aside from here?”
Su Ruowan smiled. “Dad, you’re right.”
Struck by a thought, Su Yi looked at her and said, “Wanwan, it’s best you stay out of National Idol. Xixi told me early on that she wanted to debut into showbiz and become a star. Give the chance to her.”
The hatred in Su Ruowan was burning like a wildfire, but she kept a gentle smile on her face. “Everything I have now is given by you. I’ll do anything you ask of me.”
Su Yi drank another glass of wine with mixed feelings. “You’re the sensible one.”
With eyes filled with contempt and devilry, Su Ruowan wanted to crush the glass in her hands.
Sensible?
What was the use of being sensible?
It still led her to be heartlessly thrown out by them.
In the end, Su Yi drank until he was mumbling nonsense.
Su Ruowan helped him to bed and gazed cynically at the man lying motionlessly in bed. With foul determination to go for broke, she took a deep breath and made up her mind.
Great!
Throw her out, huh?
Well, she was not going to give him the last laugh. By hook or by crook, Su Ruowan was here to stay. There was no way she would allow Shen Xi, the b*tch, to take over her place and rob her of her happiness and affection.
First thing in the morning.
Su Yi opened his eyes to find Su Ruowan lying beside him. He was scared witless.
As soon as Su Ruowan opened her eyes, she pulled the covers over in a panic and widened her innocent eyes in disbelief. Shocked, she gruffly cried in despair. “Dad.”
