The next second, Su Zhinan burst into tears, startling Su Ping.
What's going on? How did it suddenly happen...?
Passersby glanced at the two of them, their gazes turning strangely.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
She wondered why her father had suddenly burst into tears without any regard for his image, since she hadn't said anything inappropriate.
After wiping away his tears, Su Zhinan took Su Ping's hand earnestly and said indignantly.
"You still say you're fine? It's been so many years since you called me 'Dad.' Before I went abroad, I asked the Xu family to take good care of you. Is this how they take care of you?!"
These words left Su Ping stunned. If she hadn't learned the gist of the matter from Aunt Mei a few days ago, she would have been completely absorbed in Su Zhinan's unconditional favoritism.
It's clearly her own fault for not being able to stand that Xu Yichen had a girl he liked, and she ruined her own life by acting like this. How did it become Xu Yichen's responsibility?
Seeing that she was silent with her head down, Su Zhinan became even more convinced that his daughter had been wronged in the Xu family. He immediately grabbed Su Ping's hand and turned to walk towards the car.
"Pingping, don't be afraid, Daddy's back. We'll take you to get justice right now!"
Su Ping didn't even have time to react before she got into the car with Su Zhinan.
It wasn't until quite some time after the car had driven off that she belatedly asked, "Dad, are we going home now?"
This doesn't look like they're going home; it looks more like they're going to fight...
Su Zhinan shook his head and said, "Pingping, this is not something you should be thinking about. When you're with your dad, you don't have to think about anything. Just be happy."
"Dad will give you everything you want, as much as possible."
Listening to Su Zhinan's words, Su Ping had a bad feeling. Was her adoptive father really reliable?
Perhaps because she hadn't rested well in the hospital, Su Ping leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.
In her dream, she seemed to be chasing someone, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up with that person. Finally, as the sun rose, the figure gradually became blurry.
When Su Ping woke up, she found Su Zhinan looking at her with a serious expression.
She then realized that she was crying again.
"Pingping, what did you dream about? Why are you crying like this?"
Su Zhinan frowned as he looked at Su Ping and asked.
Su Ping awkwardly wiped away her tears, unsure how to respond.
She can't exactly say that she dreamt she almost became Kuafu and was constantly chasing after men, can she?
Seeing her stammering, Su Zhinan subconsciously thought of Xu Yichen, and his heartache for Su Ping deepened even more.
It's all my fault for trusting the Xu family too much, which led to their son hurting my daughter like this!
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the villa.
Su Ping looked at the villa in front of her and blinked.
So her family is quite wealthy?
It wasn't until Su Ping got out of the car following Su Zhinan that she realized something was wrong.
Who rings the doorbell when they get back to their own home?
"Dad, where have you taken me?"
It can't be what she thinks, can it?
The moment Xu Yichen's face appeared from behind the door, Su Ping's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.
"Uncle Su."
Xu Yichen glanced at Su Ping with a complicated expression before turning his gaze to Su Zhinan and respectfully calling him "Uncle."
Su Zhinan snorted in response, but never looked him in the eye and walked straight inside.
"I'm here to see your parents."
Su Ping looked at Xu Yichen, who was standing beside her like a deflated balloon, coughed, leaned closer, and whispered.
“I didn’t know my dad would come to your house.”
Xu Yichen didn't speak, but just glanced at her with a somewhat helpless look.
Su Ping had a bad feeling about that look in his eyes.
She stepped forward and took Su Zhinan's arm, persuading him, "Dad, I suddenly feel like going home. Let's go home."
Upon hearing this, Su Zhinan glared at Xu Yichen beside him, then patted Su Ping's shoulder reassuringly and deliberately spoke loudly.
"Pingping, don't be afraid. Daddy is here. No one can bully you today."
For a moment, Su Ping felt like she could dig out a magic castle.
To be fair, her father bears some responsibility for how she was spoiled in the past, for example, now acting like he's come to someone else's house to interrogate them.
"Old Su is here? Come over here quickly, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
A well-maintained woman with short hair came out and greeted them happily.
Then he looked at Su Ping's face, quickly walked over and took her arm, acting very intimately.
"Pingping, it was my Yichen who hurt you before because he didn't know what was good for him. Don't worry, I've already talked to him about it, and he won't do it again."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping understood why Xu Yichen had looked so listless earlier.
I guess it was just something that was said.
But she brought this upon herself, and now that she's dragged others into it, she feels a little guilty.
Even if she liked Xu Yichen before, matters of the heart are a matter of mutual consent. Xu Yichen didn't like her, and it was her own stubbornness and self-destructive behavior that led to everyone blaming Xu Yichen for not taking good care of her.
If she were Xu Yichen, she thinks she would feel wronged and want to cry.
Su Zhinan snorted, not appeased, and snatched Su Ping from Zhen Xiang's hands.
"Don't say that. Right now, everyone outside is saying that our Su family is practically giving money to your Xu family."
Zhen Xiang glared at Xu Yichen, then forced a smile and said.
"Old Su, what are you saying? We're all family, how is it that you're losing money?"
"Besides, I watched Pingping grow up, and I already consider her my daughter-in-law. I'm overjoyed that she likes my Yichen, so why would I not want her?"
"mom!"
Xu Yichen's face darkened, and he protested.
However, after receiving Zhen Xiang's gaze, he didn't continue speaking. His tightly pursed lips showed that he was suppressing his temper and was very unhappy.
"Auntie, I've forgotten what happened before. I was ignorant back then, but now..."
Su Ping looked at the blunder she had created and felt a headache coming on. She tried to gloss over it, but the two of them didn't give her a chance to speak at all.
Su Zhinan patted her shoulder and said, "Pingping, I brought you here today to get an explanation for this. Your injuries can't just be left like this."
Su Ping's lips twitched. She herself didn't want to care anymore, so why was she being forced to care?
"Okay, then it's settled."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping suddenly looked up and asked, "What did you just say? What's settled?"
