Chapter 819 Father and Daughter Talk
Ding ding—the crisp sound of information broke the silence.
Su Xiao picked up her phone and saw that it was Situ Jin who sent the message.
"I have something to do in the study for a while, you go to bed first."
It turns out he went to the study!
Does that mean she doesn't have to worry about that anymore?
Su Xiao didn't care why Situ Jin suddenly ran to the study. She just thought that she could escape and sleep peacefully.
"Okay, take care of yourself, good night." Su Xiao quickly replied to the text message, and then tried to fall asleep.
When she woke up the next day, Situ Jin was no longer at home. After having breakfast, Su Xiao took out a small bottle. As the test sample only required a little blood, she did not take the entire bottle of blood with her. Instead, she only used something to dip some of it and hid the rest.
She first went to the original hospital, submitted the sample, and gave Dr. Cheng some instructions again. Then she went to the hospital introduced by Zhao Yixuan, which was equivalent to doing it twice. She thought that this way she would definitely not make any mistakes.
After finishing all this, she received a call from her father.
Her father had finished his meeting and was probably worried that she might be overthinking things, so he met with her during dinner time.
Following the instructions, Su Xiao asked the driver to take her to the place agreed by her father.
My father was eating. There were not many dishes and they were very light. He didn't seem to have a very good appetite and his face was obviously tired.
Su Xiao felt a pang of pity and guilt in her heart. Her father was so busy, yet she still had to trouble him.
"Have you eaten? Do you want to eat with daddy?" Zhao Zhixun looked at her lovingly and spoke.
"I've eaten." Su Xiao slowly walked to her father's side, looked at the dishes on the table, and said, "Are these dishes not to your liking? Dad, what do you like to eat? I'll make it myself and bring it to you next time."
Zhao Zhixun was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily, "I haven't tried your cooking yet. I heard Ah Che mention it before, so it seems I really should try it. What's your specialty? Daddy isn't picky about food, so anything my daughter cooks is delicious to me!"
Su Xiao looked at her gentle and kind father, and her heart warmed again, so she quickly agreed, "I'll go back and study it and make it for you, but Dad, you eat this first."
Zhao Zhixun looked at the table full of dishes and explained with a smile, "I haven't had much of an appetite lately, but Dad isn't a child anymore and isn't growing any more, so it's okay to eat less."
Su Xiao didn't insist any longer and said, "Wait until you finish your meal, shall I give you a massage?"
"Can you give a massage?"
"Yeah, I know a little bit. I've occasionally given Yun Che massages before."
"Heh, this guy is really lucky. Your mother can't do it. She tried before, but it really didn't work, so she didn't do it later." Zhao Zhixun looked at Su Xiao meaningfully, "Dad will enjoy the massage later. We have more important things to do today. Dad has to serve you first."
Su Xiao understood what he said, her eyes welled up, and she looked at her father with gratitude.
Since he had no appetite to begin with, Zhao Zhixun simply had the food removed. Su Xiao saw the tea set nearby and made a pot of tea.
Zhao Zhixun praised while drinking tea, "You often make this for Che, right? No wonder he loves you so much and is devoted to you."
Su Xiao's pretty face blushed slightly and she smiled shyly at her father.
Zhao Zhixun finished the tea in his cup, looked at Su Xiao, and said, "Hui'er, Daddy wants to tell you that he's sorry. If Dad hadn't arranged this path for Yun Che, you wouldn't have to face all this."
"Dad..." Su Xiao didn't expect her father to suddenly apologize to her. She couldn't help but exclaimed, and she didn't dare to let her father do this.
Zhao Zhixun put down his hand, his expression still calm, and continued, "Ache is a very talented person. No matter what industry he is in, he can do well. You know my position. Since I specialize in finding talents for the country, I naturally don't want to miss out on such a good seedling as Ache. It's really not easy to cultivate good talents nowadays. Ache has a promising future and is worthy of being entrusted with important tasks. As his father-in-law, I also hope that Yun Che will leave a brilliant and glorious mark in his life. Men have great ambitions, and Ache is no ordinary person. He has great ideals and ambitions in his heart."
"I understand, Dad. I don't blame you." Su Xiao said quickly, "Since I married him, I must also pay something for this marriage. I understand everything. Mom told me."
"Your mother... I've seen your mother make great sacrifices for me and for this family. Although daddy feels distressed, there are many temptations out there, and daddy is also a mortal and has lost himself before. But at critical moments, I always think of your mother's devotion to me, and that I cannot live without her, and those desires disappear. I think it will be the same for Ache too. How you treat him, he will treat you twice as well. You give a lot and sacrifice a lot for him, but invisibly you will also get a lot from him, and I don't just mean the glory." Zhao Zhixun spoke earnestly. If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, it would be hard to imagine that these words would come out of his majestic mouth.
Su Xiao's heart was deeply touched, and she unconsciously confided, "Dad, I was really troubled in the past. I couldn't get used to this kind of life, especially with such an excellent role model like my sister-in-law. I was afraid that I wouldn't do well, afraid that I would bring shame to Yun Che. I always doubted myself. If he rose all the way to that high position in the future, would I really be able to stand by him and face it with him? Over time, these fears and worries made me feel like a burden, a shackle that made me breathless, so I wanted to escape."
"How do you feel about Gao Chengze?" Zhao Zhixun asked unexpectedly.
Su Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Zhao Zhixun's eyes were gentle. "Dad heard about your mother's story about you and him. Your mother was very angry."
"I'm sorry, Dad!" Su Xiao apologized, but her father shook his head and did not mean to blame her.
She took a deep breath and continued, "Senior Gao and I... I always feel very relaxed when I'm with him, without any pressure. And those two times, I actually wanted to test how I felt about him and whether I could continue to be with him.
Maybe I'm a little moved by him. After all, he was so good to me in the past. His excellence is there, I can't help but be moved. But if it comes to a real choice, I think I will still choose Yun Che, even though I know the future will be very difficult, and we may even face various hardships. Life will not be as easy and peaceful as it was with Senior Gao. "
After Su Xiao finished speaking, the air was quiet for a moment.
Later, Zhao Zhixun spoke, "Hui'er, I'm glad you think this way, but it's okay. You don't have to force yourself. Since you have your own plans, just do it. Some things can only be fully understood after trying them."
"Dad, you don't blame me? You mean, you approve of me and Senior Gao being together?" Su Xiao looked at her father in a daze.
