Chapter 770: Difficulties
In fact, they used to have a good relations.h.i.+p. It was precisely because of this that he could understand Su Cha’s current behavior.
When disappointment reached a certain level, this would happen.
Lian Chi felt that Su Cha was just disappointed in him.
“The last two times I saw you, I couldn’t say much to you because of the special occasion.”
Lian Chi curled his lips into a self-deprecating smile. “My father saw through it last time. He bid me go overseas because of it.”
Su Cha paused. His words were equivalent to telling her that he went overseas because his father noticed something was wrong, so he chased Lian Chi away.
But what did it have to do with her?
She chuckled. Lian Chi could tell that she was mocking him.
There was an inexplicable bitterness in his heart. His fingers holding the coffee cup exerted some force.
Actually, he did care.
He could no longer see the obedient girl in his memory.
This was the price he had chosen.
But soon, he forced himself to let go of the feeling in his heart and not care about it. Although his face was gentle, his heart became cold.
“I know you are very disappointed in me. When I chose to leave… I was actually very surprised.”
Lian Chi’s smile showed a hint of disappointment, and his handsome face was a little gloomy. If other girls saw this expression, they would feel extreme pity.
Su Cha suddenly wanted to drink a cup of fruit juice. She called the waiter and ordered another cup, watching Lian Chi’s performance seriously.
Lian Chi saw Su Cha suddenly ordering another cup. He could not explain his emotions clearly, but he felt that she did not even trust him. He felt a little uncomfortable.
His lips were pale as he recounted what had happened back then.
He had left without saying goodbye back then because his father was a very powerful person. He had been taken back to the Lian family and was not allowed to have any connection with everything that had happened in the past, so he could not contact Su Cha.
At that time, Su Cha was studying well. The way he saw it, nothing could have happened to her.
Later on, in order to gain a foothold in the Lian family, he’d tried his best to learn many things. Although he was a local celebrity when he was with Su Cha, he realized that he was not good enough when he returned to the Lian family.
His two brothers were eyeing him covetously. As an illegitimate son, he could not outs.h.i.+ne them and could only try his best to prove himself.
Although the high society had acknowledged Lian Chi’s ident.i.ty and his excellence, he was still treading on thin ice. It was not until he saw Su Cha that he realized that there were always some things that could not be undone after one had made that mistake.
When he was almost done, the girl who was drinking fruit juice said slowly, “What does this have to do with me?”
Even Lian Chi almost had a heart attack when he heard her words.
No matter how bad it had become, he’d had a good relations.h.i.+p with Su Cha back then. She shouldn’t say this had nothing to do with her. He just had his difficulties.
There was a flash of anger in his eyes. Lian Chi quickly disguised it so that Su Cha could not see. What could he do? Whatever happened to Su Cha was his own fault.
“I’m not saying that it has anything to do with you. I just want to tell you everything and let you understand that though I didn’t even say goodbye to you back then, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Oh?”
Su Cha smiled. “Technology has become so advanced. Even if I didn’t have a phone, you could have found a chance to call the neighbors and entrust them with a message for me. It’s such a simple thing, but you couldn’t do it. Did your father lock you up in an enclosed place? Even when you went to the toilet, he had to monitor you?”
