Xin Zikai helped Xin Chun up and said apologetically to Xu Ziyu, "Xiao Yu, thank you for your help."
Xu Ziyu turned around, walked back to the car, and started the engine.
Xin Chun started making a scene, crying and calling for Xu Ziyu. Xin Zikai dragged and pulled her back to the room.
They finally managed to drag her back inside and upstairs, but she still wouldn't calm down.
"Haven't you made enough trouble yet! Aren't you ashamed!" Xin Zikai swung his hand, making a loud slap.
Five finger marks immediately appeared on Xin Chun's face. She seemed stunned and fell silent instantly.
Xin Zikai's fingers trembled as he looked at Xin Chun's face, which had been turned to the side by the blow. He felt somewhat annoyed. He had never laid a hand on her before; she had always been a child who was relatively easy to manage.
But the older she got, the more worried he became. He saw through her little schemes and calculations, but as her father and adoptive father, he didn't know how to correct her in some ways.
Watching her become more and more stubborn, more and more gloomy, and more and more like Su Yan.
He seemed unable to do anything. Over the years, he had asked himself if he had given everything a foster father could give, but it seemed he still hadn't raised her well.
“Xiao Chun…” Xin Zikai clenched his numb palms and said with a slight tremor in his lips, “Dad doesn’t want to hit you. Dad wants you to wake up. A Yu and Xiao Kui are in love and are a match made in heaven. If you get involved like this, you will only get hurt.”
Xin Chun covered her cheeks and laughed, tears streaming down her face. Everyone seemed to be telling her not to be delusional, even Xin Zikai was no exception. They all looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts!
No matter how well they pretend, they all still remember what happened to her parents. Their kindness towards her is always out of vigilance and defensiveness; they have never given her their whole heart!
“Xiao Chun, I…” Xin Zikai saw her crying, reached out and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m sorry, Dad is sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you.”
Xin Chun slapped away Xin Zikai's outstretched hand, laughing and crying at the same time, and said, "I'm not Xin Chun, I'm Su Wan. Stop with your 'benevolent father' act! I don't need a father who isn't on my side!"
Xin Zikai looked at her in astonishment. After Su Yan died in prison, neither he nor Su Yan had mentioned her background again. She was only two years old at the time, and he thought she had long forgotten those things. He never expected that she would still remember that she had called herself Su Wan!
“Xiao Chun, it’s not that Dad isn’t on your side, it’s just that fate can’t be forced.” Xin Zikai tried to persuade her to calm down.
But Xin Chun couldn't calm down anymore. She was going all out. Since she was going to break ties with everyone tonight, why should she pretend to be well-behaved? Xu Ziyu didn't like that anyway.
"Get away! Don't touch me!" Xin Chun went berserk and violently pushed away Xin Zikai, who was trying to comfort her.
Xin Zikai was surprised that she pushed him so hard. He took a few steps back, grabbed the handrail of the stairs, slipped, and tumbled headfirst down the steps.
When Xin Chun came to her senses, she walked shakily to the edge of the steps and looked down. She saw that Xin Zikai had fallen downstairs, and his head was covered in dark red blood, the color of brain matter.
She took a half step back, her whole body stiffening as all the alcohol wore off. She quickly ran down and knelt beside Xin Zikai, as if about to cry out in a broken voice, "Dad! Dad! Dad!"
She trembled as she extended her index finger and touched the tip of his nose, only to find that he was no longer breathing!
