Chapter 2104: Stop Daydreaming

A single sentence from her father was equivalent to negating all of Sui Xin's efforts at the travel agency.

She was extremely unwilling to accept this.

Yet she could not say a single word.

"Oh, right, show your face immediately to clarify things and apologize to Su Kexuan! If you can't do that..."

Sui Xin's father did not finish his sentence, but his eyes narrowed.

This was a hint.

Sui Xin's mother understood.

She hurriedly guaranteed, "It's just a small matter, how could she not be able to do it? Don't worry, husband!"

Every time Sui Xin's father heard his ex-wife call him "husband," he felt completely uncomfortable.

Now that the business was finished, he did not want to stay and endure this mother and daughter, so he left without looking back.

Seeing this, Sui Xin's mother immediately followed him with small steps.

Originally, she had wanted to see Sui Xin's father to the entrance of the Hospital.

But she was sternly refused.

She was chased back by Sui Xin's father before she even reached the elevator.

However, this did not affect Sui Xin's mother's happiness at all!

She returned to the ward with a joyful face and boasted to her daughter, "Look, daughter, your father still cares about us two!"

Cares?

Sui Xin really wanted to ask her mother if she hadn't seen the slap mark on her own face?!

But even if she asked, her mother wouldn't care.

Anyway, in her eyes, she was just a tool to fight for pity!

There was a fire in Sui Xin's heart.

Her palms were also clenched tightly.

Yet the expression on her face was very calm.

Her voice was even colder: "Didn't you see it? He came here for business, not for you and me!"

"But at the very least, he came to see you! As long as he comes, we have a chance to return to your father's side!"

"Can we really go back? Mother, please wake up!"

Her daughter's untimely words made Sui Xin's mother change her expression.

The next second, she reached out and pinched Sui Xin's arm hard.

This time, the pain made Sui Xin cry out loud.

And her screams did not make Sui Xin's mother feel any heartache.

Instead, she asked with a ferocious look, "Why can you pursue the boy you like, but you want me to wake up?"

"Because Dad already has a new family, it's just impossible for you two!"

"You dead girl, I've raised you for so many years, just for you to anger me? I, I..."

Sui Xin's mother did not want to face the truth.

But Sui Xin tore away her disguise, and in her anger, Sui Xin's mother started hitting her directly.

At first, Sui Xin dodged a couple of times.

But afterwards, she didn't even dodge and just let her mother vent her anger.

At the same time, she shouted, "Hit me! Just beat me to death! Anyway, I'm already someone who has died once!"

Sui Xin's words made Sui Xin's mother realize what she had done.

She hurriedly stopped, hugged Sui Xin, and said tearfully, "I'm sorry, Mother lost her composure!"

Sui Xin was held by her mother like that, her heart feeling cold and desolate.

"But daughter, this time we are facing such a good opportunity, just obediently listen to your father."

Listen to him?

Wouldn't that mean clarifying and apologizing?

Sui Xin could not accept it!

She had fully believed that the plan she risked her life to carry out could force Su Kexuan to lose her footing, could force Jiang Mobai to come and beg her, could...

She had fantasized about many things.

In the end, not a single thing she hoped for in her heart had been realized!

Instead, it had left her in such a wretched situation!

Sui Xin was unwilling to accept this.

She really wanted to ask fate why it was so unfair!

Seeing that Sui Xin had not spoken for a long time, Sui Xin's mother let her go and asked with a frown, "Daughter, are you listening to what I'm saying?"

"... I heard you, I will consider it."

Sui Xin suppressed her anger and responded to her mother.

But this response did not satisfy her mother.

"Don't consider it, just do as your father said. Anyway, he is here recently. If you do a good job, once he is happy, he might recruit you back to the company!"

Sui Xin's mother still hoped that Sui Xin could enter the Sui Family's company.

She was, after all, a daughter of the Sui Family.

In ancient times, that would have been a legitimate daughter.

Yet in the end, she hadn't gained any benefits at all!

Sui Xin's mother did not want to let that mistress take away all the family property.

Therefore, Sui Xin must find a way to enter the company!

Sui Xin understood what her mother was thinking.

But she now no longer looked down upon her father's company.

Sui Xin only said, "You haven't figured out what the main point is."

"Huh?"

"As long as I can successfully marry Jiang Mobai, then I will be a daughter-in-law of the Li Family, and Dad will look up to me!"

By then, Father's meager family property won't even be worth mentioning!

As for the mistress and the little bastard? I'll drive them away in a minute!

Once Sui Xin thought of this solution, her whole person felt refreshed.

However...

Sui Xin's mother looked at Sui Xin's pale complexion and felt that her daughter was just daydreaming.

She knew this daughter of hers too well.

The tricks Sui Xin used were all ones she had used herself.

Those methods couldn't even handle Sui Xin's father, let alone the people of the Li Family?

I'm afraid it will all end up being a waste of effort in the end!

In order to make her daughter more grounded, Sui Xin's mother said, "That young man named Jiang Mobai, why hasn't he come to see you?"

Just this one question made Sui Xin's momentum weaken.

She turned her head and found a random excuse: "Because it's inconvenient for him to move around!"

"Even if that's the case, he would have family or friends visit on his behalf, but there hasn't been a single sign of movement, doesn't that just mean... he doesn't care about you at all?"

Sui Xin's mother spoke the truth.

This truth made Sui Xin exasperated: "What do you mean, you want me to give up too!?"

"What I mean is, you should learn to be sensible; instead of having unrealistic dreams, it's better to make your father happy first!"

Sui Xin's mother's guidance seemed to be for Sui Xin's own good.

But in reality?

She was just thinking of herself!

Sui Xin had also had enough of her hypocrisy and couldn't help but sneer.

"What kind of smile is that? Do you think I'm wrong?"

Seeing this smile, Sui Xin's mother's expression couldn't help but sink.

"No."

Sui Xin responded very perfunctorily.

And her perfunctoriness made Sui Xin's mother's heart burn with anger.

But considering that the two of them should be of one mind at this moment, Sui Xin's mother had to suppress her anger.

Then, she said earnestly: "In this world, Mom is the one who loves you the most! Although sometimes I make you suffer a little, the ultimate goal is still for you to enjoy long-lasting happiness!"

"Mm, I understand."

"Then you..."

"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

Sui Xin interrupted her mother's words and then closed her eyes.

Her attitude made Sui Xin's mother knit her brows.

But in the end, she didn't say any words of reproach.

She just said gently: "Then get some good rest."

As her voice fell, the hospital room fell into a silence.

Today was the day Jiang Mobai went to the Hospital for a check-up.

Because his injury had been healing well during this period, after the doctor examined him, he replaced Jiang Mobai's cast with a smaller one.
