Su Rong slowly drove away from the neighborhood rife with mixed emotions. The scenery outside the car window, like the turmoil within him, gradually settled into a calm. In the small space of the car, he repeatedly pondered everything that had happened today, especially the unintentional resonance he had with Chu Chu, which suddenly brought him to a state of enlightenment. Indeed, in this world where power and profit are intertwined, simple justice often seems pale and powerless.
Suning's violent behavior not only caused physical harm to Zhao Qing, but also constituted a contempt for justice and fairness.
Chuchu, in her own unique way, revealed the cruelty of reality, forcing Su Rong to re-examine his position and family responsibilities.
The afternoon sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, scattering dappled light onto the hospital corridor. Su Rong once again stepped into this space filled with the smell of disinfectant, feeling mixed emotions.
He gently pushed open the ward door, and what came into view was Zhao Qing's face, still bearing visible scars. Her eyes, once full of brilliance, now looked unusually hollow and tired. Su Rong's heart tightened, and he apologized again sincerely, "Zhao Qing, I'm truly sorry. Su Ning's behavior this time was too extreme. He has already received the punishment he deserved and has been sent to the hospital for reflection. He will stay for at least three months."
Zhao Qing only hummed softly, her voice devoid of warmth. Clearly, the hurt had already reached her bones, and a simple apology couldn't heal it. The look she gave Su Rong was not only cold but also tinged with a subtle resoluteness. "You don't have to apologize for him, Su Rong. I can't accept such an apology. It can't erase the fear and pain in my heart."
Su Rong felt even more guilty after hearing this. He scratched his head and continued awkwardly, "I know this matter is really serious. I came here to express my Su family's apology, although this cannot completely make up for your hurt. I will do my best to convince the elders in my family and let them give you a satisfactory answer. At the same time, Su Ning will definitely come to apologize to you in person."
Zhao Qing shook her head slightly, a bitter smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, "Su Rong, you don't need to fight for me anymore. I have decided to call off the marriage with Su Ning. My parents have already talked to Su Ning's parents, and I believe there will be a result soon." Although her tone was light, it revealed an unshakable determination.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Chuchu's figure appeared at the door. Her eyes were firm and cold, as if she could see through all hypocrisy and disguise.
"What's the point of turning things around? Do you still want Zhao Qing to continue jumping into the fire pit and marrying a violent maniac who may lose control at any time? Zhao Qing has already wasted enough time over the years, she shouldn't sacrifice her future as well." Chuchu's words were straightforward and sharp, and every word was powerful.
Su Rong looked at Chu Chu, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "That's not what I meant. It's just that after all, we've known each other for so many years, I feel a little bit sad and regretful..." There was a subtle hint of helplessness in his voice.
Chu Chu interrupted him mercilessly, "You can feel emotional, but the reality is cruel. Zhao Qing has finally seen the truth now. What she needs is a new beginning, not a return to the past. As for the marriage, cancellation is a foregone conclusion. If the Su family has any objections, our Gu family will never stand idly by." Her tone was full of support and protection for Zhao Qing, which made it impossible to ignore.
Su Rong took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Qing again, her eyes filled with determination and relief. "If you've truly made up your mind, I will respect your choice and do my best to convince the elders at home. Zhao Qing, I hope you can find your own happiness and no longer be haunted by the shadows of the past."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing finally let out a genuine smile, one that expressed both relief and hope for the future. "Of course it's decided, Su Rong. From now on, I hope to have nothing to do with your Su family."
