Chapter 109 Oscar's Acting
Xu Anran tried her best to offer Xu Guoqiang some advice. "They say a father and daughter never harbor grudges overnight, and you're my sister's only relative in this world. As long as she senses your concern for him, she'll definitely stop being angry with you."
After all, before, Xu Sichen was willing to give up her fiancé in order to get Xu Guoqiang's approval, which shows how important Xu Guoqiang is in her heart.
"You're right. Si Chen is the softest-hearted kid. She absolutely can't bear to see me suffer. I'll video call her right away."
“Beep, beep, beep!”
It didn't take long before the call was picked up.
After so many "No one answered your call", Xu Guoqiang and Xu Anran were almost crying with joy when they saw the call interface.
"Si Chen, Si Chen, I'm your father!" As soon as Xu Guoqiang opened his mouth, tears fell from his eyes.
Of course, these tears were not because of missing Xu Sichen, but because of the grievances she had suffered.
Xu Anran was standing aside, watching Xu Sichen on the other end of the video. He looked clean and tidy, with a pretty face that was fair and rosy. It was obvious that he didn't look like someone who had suffered in the apocalypse.
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his tangled hair and rough face. With a slight rub, he could even rub mud out of his face.
Only then did she remember with horror that she hadn't taken a shower for several days.
Xu Anran collapsed.
For a moment, she wanted to run away, not wanting Xu Sichen to see her sloppy and disheveled appearance and make a fool of herself.
But she held it back, clenched her fists, and then smiled and called Xu Sichen in the video "Sister" in a flattering manner.
The only response she got was Xu Sichen's lazy "What's up?"
Her tone was flat and her eyes were indifferent, and she looked at them as if they were two unrelated strangers.
Xu Guoqiang choked up and said, "Si Chen, Si Chen, wuwuwu, you little girl, you are so cruel. It's been such a long time, and you didn't even come back to see daddy. Daddy is so worried about you, you know!"
He was crying and shouting, looking like a loving father. To those who didn't know the situation, it really looked like that.
Xu Sichen sneered, "Now that you've seen it, is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up!"
Xu Guoqiang was in the middle of role-playing when it felt like he was doused with a basin of cold water. The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, unable to come out or out.
"Sister, you, please don't hang up yet." Xu Anran said quickly: "Sister, our villa was flooded, and we had no choice but to live with my grandmother and her family. But I didn't expect them to be so ungrateful. Not only did they not give us food, they also drove us to live on the balcony. Sister, look, is this a place for people to live? How can Dad not get sick in this environment?"
As he spoke, Xu Anran turned the camera and captured the mess on the balcony.
Xu Sichen looked around at the garbage piled up everywhere. The bedding and quilts on the ground were so black that you couldn't even tell their original color.
Looking at the two disheveled people in the lens again, Xu Sichen couldn't help laughing. As he laughed, tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes.
This environment, this appearance, isn’t it a reflection of her previous life?
This is really the law of karma, no one can escape it.
After she was reborn, she just took back what belonged to her. She hadn't done anything yet, but they had already made her look like this.
"You, what are you laughing at?" Xu Anran suppressed the anger in his body and said with a look of grievance.
"I'm sorry, I just thought about the past and I really admire you. Back then, if there was a hair in your room, you would get so angry that you fired the cleaning lady. Now you can adapt well to sleeping in the garbage dump. It's really impressive," Xu Sichen said with a smile on his face.
Xu Anran was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she still gritted her teeth and held back: "Sister, I know you have never liked me since you were a child. You blame me for taking away Dad and the love he has for you. This is all my fault. You can beat me or scold me, but Dad is innocent. Since you ran away from home, Dad has been talking about your name every day and night, and worrying about whether you are doing well every day. Sister, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I hope you can save Dad and take him home because he is your only relative, wuwuwu."
Xu Anran is not stupid either. These people and her mother have done a lot of bad things to her. No matter how she explains, Xu Sichen will not forgive them.
It would be better to get Xu Sichen to agree to take Xu Guoqiang away.
When the time comes, she will follow him, and even if Xu Sichen is dissatisfied, he will not be able to do anything to her.
Xu Sichen: "No!"
Xu Anran: "...why?"
She really couldn't understand why Xu Sichen's heart suddenly became so hard, so hard that he didn't care about Xu Guoqiang's life or death?
"Cough, cough, cough..." Xu Guoqiang coughed a few times and said weakly, "Si Chen, Si Chen, can you really bear to see Dad being tortured to death by them? The Cheng family is a group of ungrateful wolves who eat people without leaving any bones. They robbed our house and supplies, and abused and beat me. Look at the scars on my face, they are all from them. Dad regrets it. He regrets not listening to you and taking in those ungrateful wolves. For Mom's sake, can you forgive me?"
In the video, Xu Sichen remained silent, looking indifferent, but he was actually listening with great interest.
The miserable look of this enemy is much more interesting than those melodramatic movies and TV dramas.
But this look made Xu Guoqiang think that Xu Sichen was beginning to soften his heart and continued to work hard.
"If you really don't forgive dad, I won't force you. Just let them beat me to death, cough cough cough..."
"Hey, but Daddy is really worried about you!" Xu Guoqiang wiped away the non-existent tears and said with a worried look on his face: "Si Chen, you are a girl, it must be very difficult for you to live out there..."
Before I could finish my words——
Xu Sichen: "I'm living quite well on my own!"
Xu Guoqiang's heartbeat skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, then said helplessly, "Hey, kid, you just love to show off. In such a chaotic world, how can you possibly survive alone? Just yesterday, there was a family downstairs from us. There were only two girls living there. They were broken into and robbed. Not only did they lose their house, but they were also raped. You're still alone here, so wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"
"No, no! I can't die. Whenever I think of your situation, I won't be able to rest in peace!" Xu Guoqiang covered his chest and gasped, "Si Chen, come and take dad over, okay? Let dad protect you. With dad by your side, you won't have to suffer so much."
Xu Sichen almost laughed at his Oscar-worthy acting. She said seriously, "Wait for me a moment."
