Chapter 247: Throw Her Out
Su Yi was not going to take no for an answer.
Shen Xi was his daughter. It was only natural that he brought his daughter back home.
Who did Shen Zhangqing think he was? He was only a foster father who thought he was all that.
In any case, Su Yi was going to take Shen Xi home. Shen Zhangqing and his wife should not blame him for what was to come if they were to refuse.
Still furious, Su Yi returned home drunk.
Su Ruowan restlessly sat in the living room. Following Su Yi’s return, she came forth and helped him up worriedly. “Dad, why did you drink so much? Why isn’t Shen Xi home with you?”
Darkness glossed over Su Yi’s eyes at the mention of Shen Xi. He turned to Su Ruowan and said, “Wanwan, Xixi doesn’t seem to like you.”
Su Ruowan’s heart skipped a beat. Looking into his emotionless eyes, she innocently and naively gazed at him and spoke softly, “Dad, don’t worry. I will get along with Shen Xi and give her whatever she wants.”
What was he trying to say?
Did he want to throw her out?
No!
No way!
She was the Su family’s daughter. She simply could not leave.
Su Yi chuckled rather heartlessly. “Wanwan, have you thought about living with your biological parents? They must miss you.”
Su Ruowan was finally rattled. Despite boiling with hatred, her eyes turned red as she shed sorrowful tears. “Dad, I’m not going anywhere. I’m your daughter. You and Mom love me so much and I hadn’t had the chance to repay my grat.i.tude. How could I leave?”
Just as she thought.
She should have known.
Mom and Dad, her *ss. They were only nice if she held value to them.
Now that her value was less than Shen Xi, they intended to ditch and throw her out to bring Shen Xi back instead.
“Your father came by the office last week, saying that he misses you and wants you back.” Su Yi was wasted, so it was all the wine talking now. “Xixi won’t feel at home with you around.”
“Dad.” Su Ruowan cried pitifully and helplessly. “Didn’t you say that I’ll always be your one and only daughter?”
She was not going back!
There was no way Su Ruowan would return to that disgusting family that made her sick to her stomach. She could throw up at the thought of going back.
“Wanwan, I know your mom and I are asking a lot from you.” Su Yi was not completely heartless. This was the daughter he loved and watched growing up. “We will try our best in making it up to you so that you’re set for life.”
“Dad, it’s not that I’m refusing to leave. I can leave when Shen Xi is back.” Su Ruowan felt as though someone crushed her heart. Her eyes were as swollen as peaches. “But if I were to leave, how are you going to explain to the Gu family?”
The Gu family would cancel the engagement if they were to find out that she was not the daughter of the Su family. The suspension of the partners.h.i.+p would be a fatal blow to the Su family’s business.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Xixi is Cai Ni, a student of Jiang Yin, and she also has a close relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Fu. The Fu family will be pleased with her as their daughter-in-law.” Su Yi did not bother to hide his delight.
The Gu family was nothing in comparison with the Fu family.
All he wanted now was for the Gu family to break off the engagement. Things would not look good if they insisted on proceeding with the marriage.
Xixi and Mr. Fu were close. She was beautiful and talented. Mr. Fu would be eating out the palm of Xixi’s hand once his wife was done teaching her a trick or two.
