Chapter 2257: Moved to Tears

~7 min read 1,356 words

When she arrived at the event site by car, Su Kexuan caught sight of a familiar figure.

It was Sui Xin.

Sui Xin wanted to approach, but the surrounding staff would not allow it.

She could only shout Su Kexuan's name.

Su Kexuan glanced at her indifferently, then walked into the event venue as if nothing had happened.

The entire event went very smoothly.

But Su Kexuan knew that Sui Xin had been staring at her from the crowd the whole time.

As for why she had come to find her, Su Kexuan also knew.

After the event ended, Su Kexuan went to the parking lot with her assistant.

And Sui Xin was already waiting by the car.

This time, Sui Xin had made up her mind that she must have a talk with Su Kexuan.

Whoever dared to stop her...

Sui Xin was seen taking out a dagger.

Upon seeing this, the assistant immediately knitted his brows.

Su Kexuan, however, said to him, "Go take a break first, come back in a while."

"But she..."

"Rest assured, she knows very well what fate her stepmother met. If she doesn't want to end up worse than her stepmother, she will behave herself."

"... Alright then, I'll be right outside. If anything happens, just call me."

"Mm."

The assistant left, feeling uneasy.

A flash of coldness first crossed Sui Xin's eyes.

Afterwards, she put away the dagger and said pitifully to Su Kexuan, "I just wanted to talk to you, I didn't mean to hurt you!"

"What do you want to say?"

"Please, save the factory!"

Just as Su Kexuan had anticipated earlier, something had indeed gone wrong with the factory.

Su Kexuan had no intention of intervening.

She reminded Sui Xin, "I have already withdrawn my capital; the factory's affairs have nothing to do with me."

"How can it have nothing to do with you? Your hard work is in there; you wouldn't want your hard work to go up in flames, would you!"

"I do want the factory to be fine, but your father's poor management has led to loopholes in operations."

Sui Xin did not accept this explanation.

Her emotions were somewhat agitated, and she shouted, "How come loopholes appear the moment you have trouble? It's clearly someone standing up for you!"

"Do you think someone is targeting the factory because of me?"

"Isn't that the case? I know Song Yue offended you and the Li Family, but my father will divorce her. Please, let us go!"

Su Kexuan shook her head lightly.

She said, "We did not vent our anger on you because of Song Yue's actions. What truly harmed the factory was your father's greed."

Seeing that the factory's development momentum was good, Sui Xin's father wanted to press his advantage.

As a result, he misjudged people, invested recklessly, and lost everything.

Coupled with the exposure of Song Yue's affairs, those who might have lent money to Sui Xin's father for turnover dared not offer help.

Therefore, the factory had now ceased production.

If this continued, the factory would only be able to file for bankruptcy.

Sui Xin's father had invested quite a lot here; once the factory went bankrupt, his family business would be affected.

And Sui Xin's desire to use the factory as a stepping stone to enter the family enterprise was also completely shattered.

Sui Xin was unwilling to see such long-term hard work ruined in one go.

She could only come to beg Su Kexuan, "My father already knows he was wrong, please, help him!"

But Su Kexuan remained unmoved, "I am not a philanthropist, I cannot help."

"It's just a small favor, you're not even willing to help with this? You are too cold-blooded!"

"I have always been cold-blooded toward irrelevant people, did you just find out? Besides, I told you long ago, don't use moral kidnapping on me. I am a person who can be very lacking in morals."

Su Kexuan was like a slab of iron.

Cold-hearted, cold-blooded.

Want to play the emotional card?

It was completely useless.

Sui Xin had known this point for a long time.

But she still wanted to come and try.

Now that she had failed...

She could only stare at Su Kexuan with a look of hatred and attack her, "The way you are, what right do you have to be liked by Jiang Mobai!!"

Su Kexuan had lost her patience.

She crossed her arms and said, "If this is all you have to say to me, then you can go."

"I'm not leaving! Su Kexuan, if you don't agree to help, I will take revenge on you!"

"Take revenge on me? May I ask how you intend to take revenge—framing, suicide, sowing discord, or a honey trap?"

When Su Kexuan said this, her tone was light and airy.

Sui Xin felt she had been humiliated.

But...

Facing Su Kexuan, she no longer had any trump cards.

Thinking of this, a touch of confusion appeared on Sui Xin's hate-filled face.

"Sui Xin, have you forgotten that you still have your music?"

Su Kexuan's reminder made Sui Xin's eyes flicker slightly.

She looked at Su Kexuan.

And heard her say: "Your father has responsibilities and debts, your mother is burdened by emotions, and your stepmother must bear legal responsibility. Right now, only you are free; why not take this opportunity to cast off these burdens and continue pursuing your music dream?"

Cast them off?

Pursue her own music dream again?

Sui Xin repeated Su Kexuan's words.

Then, her confused gaze slowly began to brighten.

Su Kexuan did not know if her words would be of any use to Sui Xin.

But she had said all she could.

Su Kexuan called her assistant back.

Then she said to Sui Xin: "Move aside, we need to leave."

With her mind occupied, Sui Xin stepped back numbly.

She took one step back, then another.

She did not stop even when she had retreated into the driveway.

On the other side, a car was driving toward them.

Seeing that it was about to hit her, Su Kexuan grabbed Sui Xin and pulled her back.

Sui Xin was startled.

She was just about to curse Su Kexuan for being inexplicable when she heard a car drive past behind her.

If Su Kexuan hadn't pulled her...

Sui Xin's shoulders trembled.

But what followed was incomprehension.

She asked: "If you let the car hit and kill me, no one would come to bother you, wouldn't that be good?"

"At that speed, it wouldn't kill you."

"That was also a chance to win people's hearts; you're truly stupid for not taking it."

"The question is, do you even have a heart?"

"You... Su, Ke, Xuan!!"

Sui Xin was enraged.

She clenched her fists and glared at Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan pushed her to the side and said: "Don't come looking for me if there's nothing, coming here is just a waste of time."

As her voice fell, Su Kexuan and her assistant sat inside the car.

Sui Xin stood where she was, shouting at her unwillingly: "Su Kexuan, I will be even more successful than you in the future!"

Su Kexuan did not pay any attention.

However, after starting the car, the assistant glanced back.

Then he said to Su Kexuan: "Boss, that woman... seems to be crying."

Sui Xin used to cry before, too.

But she always used tears as a weapon to solicit sympathy.

As for crying secretly behind people's backs...

That was very, very rare.

But Su Kexuan did not care.

She closed her eyes to rest and said casually: "Maybe she was moved to tears because I saved her life."

The assistant knew Su Kexuan was joking and did not respond.

Yet, Su Kexuan's joking remark had hit the truth...

Three days later, Sui Xin packed her luggage and left this city.

She sent a message to Su Kexuan before boarding the plane.

Telling her that she was about to leave forever.

In the future, they should not meet again.

When Su Kexuan saw this message, she was on her way to the Li Family.
