Nodding, Su Jiafeng said, "Later, when Xin'er's deeds were exposed, you, Fourth Master, had to punish her. I witnessed her fate and it was as if I saw myself in her."
When I was young, my father fell seriously ill. We had no money for treatment, and the doctor refused to prescribe medicine for him. I hoped that my father could live, so I had a wicked idea. I climbed over the wall at night to steal medicine, but I was caught red-handed. The doctor said I was a thief and would send me to the authorities. At that time, I felt very remorseful, helpless, and lost. I really hoped that someone could help me.
Because I've been through that predicament myself, I know very well that some people make mistakes simply because they're confused at the time, and they're not inherently evil. I think Xin'er has realized her mistake and genuinely wants to repent, which is why I'm doing everything I can to save her.
It turns out Su Jiafeng had such a past. Su Yushan didn't have the original owner's memories and didn't know about her brother's past. Now that she heard the reason, she finally understood why he was so determined to save Xin'er back then.
"So, you only have a slight liking for Xin'er, mostly pity, and you don't actually love her that much?"
Regarding matters of the heart, Su Jiafeng was also confused. "I hadn't thought about this before, but when Xin'er came back, I realized that I didn't seem to have much affection for her. But I had promised to marry her, and then I got engaged to Yun Ning. I always felt like a heartless man, and I felt very sorry for her. As for Yun Ning..."
As they spoke, Su Jiafeng looked up at her, mustered her courage, and spoke her truest thoughts.
“I always thought that she was only engaged to me because I had hugged her and she couldn’t go against Uncle He’s wishes. I thought she didn’t like me, but I didn’t have the courage to confirm it, which is why I said that our relationship was complicated. Saying that doesn’t mean I don’t like her.”
After listening silently for a while, He Yunning finally calmed down a bit and responded with a nonchalant "Oh---"
This is way too concise! Su Jiafeng couldn't discern her emotions at all, and couldn't help feeling uneasy. "I said so much, and you only replied with one word?"
Her gaze shifted slightly, and He Yun Ning feigned ignorance, "Then what should I say?"
Su Yushan chuckled and reminded her, "Tell me whether you like Jiafeng or not."
Hongli didn't listen closely to their argument; what concerned him was that Yushan had actually smiled. It seemed she was only truly relaxed and at ease with her family. When would she be able to smile at him like she used to?
