Chapter 2103: Always Causing Trouble

Facing her father, Sui Xin felt an innate sense of fear.

She dared not refute him, nor did she dare to look up.

She only lowered her head submissively, apologizing incessantly: "I'm sorry, Dad, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself at the time..."

Watching his daughter's panicked state, Sui Xin's father felt no pity, but rather extreme annoyance.

Originally, the relationship between father and daughter had not been so distant.

It was Sui Xin's mother who changed everything.

This woman always wanted to use Sui Xin to elicit her husband's sympathy.

Since it was about eliciting sympathy, naturally, the more miserable things were, the better.

Therefore, Sui Xin was sick or injured every so often.

At first, Sui Xin's father could still show some concern.

Later, he began to feel annoyed and weary of it.

By now, there was very little father-daughter affection left.

Seeing that she was alone in the hospital room, Sui Xin's father asked: "Why are you by yourself? Didn't your mother say she was coming to take care of you?"

"Mom... Mom went to eat, she will be back very soon."

"Hmph, she still has the mood to eat."

Sui Xin felt that what her father said was nonsense.

If one didn't eat, wouldn't one starve to death?

Of course, she absolutely dared not say these words out loud.

Sui Xin lowered her eyes, explaining for her mother: "Mom couldn't eat either, but in order to take good care of me, she had to eat."

"Enough, I'm not interested in her affairs. Now tell me about the video online, what is going on!"

"The video? You mean..."

"Su Kexuan!"

Hearing this name, a sudden sense of unease flashed through Sui Xin's heart.

She subconsciously gripped the quilt tighter and asked weakly: "Why are you asking about her?"

"That's not for you to know, answer my question first!"

Sui Xin's father suddenly raised his voice.

His cold attitude made Sui Xin shrink back in fear.

She had wanted to tell the truth.

But as her eyes shifted, she changed the focus of her words: "That woman is very calculating and always stands between me and Jiang Mobai."

"By the way, Dad, I have someone I like; his name is Jiang Mobai, and he is the second young master of the Li Family!"

"If I can be with him, we will get the help of the Li Family! Our family's business will also be able to reach a new level!"

Sui Xin gathered her courage to tell her father about her feelings for Jiang Mobai.

She also hoped to gain her father's support.

But who would have thought...

Sui Xin's father gave a light hum.

He reminded Sui Xin: "Wake up, don't be as muddled as your mother!"

"Dad, I..."

"If you could handle Jiang Mobai, would you be in such a miserable state now? The Li Family is not to be trifled with, let it go!"

Sui Xin's father was very clear-headed.

He also knew exactly what his daughter was worth.

A person like her could never handle that famous playboy of the Li Family.

Sui Xin's face turned pale because of her father's rejection.

The courage she had finally managed to build up in her heart collapsed in an instant.

Sui Xin's father then instructed her: "I am going to stay here for a while, you must find a way to..."

"What, Husband, are you really going to stay here?"

Sui Xin's mother's excited voice interrupted Sui Xin's father.

Her sudden appearance gave Sui Xin's father a headache.

He felt that the one who should be receiving psychological treatment was his ex-wife!

They had been divorced for so many years, yet she still kept harassing him...

She was simply paranoid!

Sui Xin's father complained silently, then reminded her with little patience: "We are already divorced, stop calling me husband!"

"But in my heart, you will always be my husband!"

Sui Xin's mother wore a gentle expression while quickening her pace to reach Sui Xin's father's side.

She intended to take her ex-husband's arm.

But she was dodged.

Sui Xin's father stepped back two paces to keep his distance from his ex-wife and said coldly: "I came here just to see my daughter, don't overthink it."

"I won't overthink it, I just hope you can spend more time with our daughter!"

As Sui Xin's mother spoke, her eyes lit up as she looked at Sui Xin, murmuring: "Our daughter is also looking forward to your company!"

Her mother's gaze was very gentle.

Yet Sui Xin saw her mother's intentions within it:

She wanted to repeat the same old trick, using harm to her own body to make her father stay!!

This discovery made Sui Xin feel a chill all over, and her body curled up involuntarily.

Seeing this, Sui Xin's father finally showed a bit of concern: "What, are you cold?"

"I..."

"Yes, yes, my daughter's body is weak, I have been accompanying her every day, it breaks my heart!"

Sui Xin's mother seized the opportunity and began to play the victim for her daughter.

But Sui Xin's father had seen similar scenes too many times.

He could even guess what his ex-wife would say next.

And he hadn't come here today to listen to nonsense!

Therefore, Sui Xin's father interrupted his ex-wife and said impatiently: "Can you be quiet for a moment? I am talking to her!"

This behavior from her father surprised Sui Xin greatly.

In her memory, it seemed... such a situation had never happened before.

Could it be that her father was truly concerned about her this time?

Deep in Sui Xin's heart, a faint expectation emerged.

But who would have known...

"Find a way to show your face and clarify things; take back every single drop of the dirty water poured onto Su Kexuan!"

Her father's order left Sui Xin stunned.

The heart that had just been warm was once again frozen over.

The confusion in her heart resisted her fear, causing her to lift her head, look straight into her father's eyes, and ask three words: "Why?"

She really wanted to know why her own father would stand on the side of her enemy?!

That was Su Kexuan, the love rival she wished she could skin and bone!!

Sui Xin's father didn't care about any of that.

He said: "I am about to cooperate with Su Kexuan, so her reputation must absolutely not be affected."

"Cooperate? You said, cooperate with whom?"

Sui Xin's reaction was dazed.

Her speech was also a beat slow.

This caused Sui Xin's father to lose all patience.

Seeing this, Sui Xin's mother hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "It's Su Kexuan, you child, have you been stunned by happiness!"

"Is this something to be happy about? Dad, why do you want to cooperate with her? What does she think she is!?"

Sui Xin's emotions suddenly erupted.

But waiting for her... was a slap!

Slap—

A large palm struck hard against Sui Xin's pale cheek.

Instantly, a handprint appeared on her skin.

Sui Xin was completely dazed by the blow.

And her mother, instead of comforting her at the first opportunity, stood on the side of the abuser and joined in denouncing Sui Xin: "How can you speak to your father with that attitude!"

After speaking, Sui Xin's mother then explained for Sui Xin: "This child must be delirious from her illness, don't hold it against her!"

"Hmph, it is I who was muddled, still thinking of giving her a chance to get some training at the company. And the result? She only knows how to cause trouble!"

Sui Xin's mother wanted to say more.

But Sui Xin's father did not give her the chance.

With a wave of his arm, Sui Xin's father said: "Once you are discharged, hurry back to the orchestra; don't work at the travel agency anymore!"
