Three days later.
Su Yi went back to the Su family to pack his luggage. He saw several unfamiliar cars at the gate and wondered if there were guests at home.
Confused, he entered the main door and saw servants running in and out of the guest bedroom in a hurry. Su Yi stopped a servant and asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
The young maid said in panic: "The eldest lady committed suicide."
"What?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows, wondering if he had heard wrongly. How could Su Huijin, who loved him so much, commit suicide? Did the sun rise from the west
"The eldest lady committed suicide by cutting her wrists!"
"Really?" Su Yi looked suspicious, "So what's going on now?"
"She was just rescued. Mrs. Ji is now in the guest bedroom comforting the eldest lady."
Su Yi smiled playfully when he heard this. No wonder he chose to commit suicide today instead of earlier or later. It turned out that today was the day when the Ji family came to the Su family to cancel the engagement.
Su Yi felt a little thirsty, so he went to drink a glass of water before entering the guest bedroom.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Su Huijin lying on her side on the bed. The makeup on her face seemed to be carefully applied, so beautiful and bright that it was dazzling. Her long hair was scattered on her shoulders in a messy manner, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She looked delicate and pitiful.
Su Yi almost laughed. This look clearly showed that she had been dressed up. Who would dress up before committing suicide? Sure enough, this scheme was probably used to fool the Ji family.
As expected, Mrs. Ji held her hand lovingly, her expression heartbroken, "Huijin, why are you doing this?"
Ruan Zaixiang sat in a wheelchair wiping tears, "It's all my fault, my negligence. If I hadn't gone to the banquet, how could Huijin have been drugged? My daughter... Her life is so miserable... Madam Ji, to be honest with you, Youzhang and I are remarried. Huijin is not his biological daughter. She had a hard childhood. Her biological father died early, when she was in junior high school. But Huijin has always been very hardworking. She has always been the top student in her grade in exams. She has her own sense of propriety in everything she does. Madam Ji, you know her character well. Madam Ji, you said that Huijin has such a good boyfriend, how could she look for another man, don't you think?"
Mrs. Ji felt sorry for Ruan Zaixiang crying so sadly, so she asked gently, "You mean? Huijin was framed?"
"Yeah..." Ruan Zai thought about crying, "What kind of person is Huijin? I believe you know it well, Mrs. Ji. She goes to work every day, and lives a life of going to and from work. She works overtime every day and comes home at 9 o'clock. It's 10 o'clock after dinner and bathing. How can she have the mood to go out and fool around? She has to get up at 7 o'clock the next day to go to work. Every Saturday and Sunday, she goes to accompany you, Mrs. Ji, to eat vegetarian food and learn tea ceremony and flower arrangement. How can she have extra time to do other things?"
Su Yi stood at the door, watching indifferently without saying a word.
Ruan Zaixiang was still speaking sadly.
"It's all my fault. Otherwise, how could Huijin be framed like this? She just couldn't stand the fact that Huijin was pretty, capable, and had such a good boyfriend, so she deliberately designed to harm her." Ruan was thinking and speaking, her expression became even more sad. "Ever since Youzhang's daughter came back, Huijin and I have been treating her wholeheartedly, but that woman just doesn't like us mother and daughter. She rolls her eyes and speaks ill of us every day. Now that Huijin has become like this, she is even happier. Huijin has suffered such a big blow. She is already sensitive, but she always laughs at Huijin. When Huijin gets upset, she..."
Mrs. Ji listened to what Ruan was thinking. Su Huijin was at least her favorite daughter-in-law. Seeing her become like this, her heart ached. She said immediately, "I know Huijin is good. She is not only smart and capable, but also filial to her elders. I have heard those rumors, but I don't believe them. I don't believe Huijin is a promiscuous girl. So justice is in the hearts of the people. Huijin, don't let this little thing bother you."
Ruan Zaixiang cried again and said, "How can I let it go? A woman's reputation is the most important thing, and it has been spread like that. Madam Ji, let alone Huijin, even as a mother, I don't want to live anymore."
"Oh! Mrs. Su, please don't think like that."
"Mrs. Ji, I know you love Huijin and treat her like your daughter. I also understand why you don't let Huijin in. We don't blame you. We are angry at the person who framed Huijin. If she hadn't harmed Huijin like this, there wouldn't be so many problems..."
"Yes." Mrs. Ji sighed and frowned.
Ruan was thinking, "Mrs. Ji, if you want to cancel this marriage, we won't say anything. We all understand. But now Youzhang has misunderstood Huijin. After he locked Huijin up here, he didn't come to see her or pay any attention to her. After all, she is still his daughter. Mrs. Ji, what do you think..."
Mrs. Ji nodded. "This is a little bit inhumane. Although she is not his biological daughter, she is still his daughter after all. Besides, Huijin has helped him a lot in the company over the years. How about this, I'll call Su Youzhang and talk about it..."
"Thank you, Mrs. Ji..." Ruan Zaixiang burst into tears of joy.
Mrs. Ji took out her cell phone and called Su Youzhang.
Su Yi stood at the door and heard Mrs. Ji holding the phone and saying to Su Youzhang: "Youzhang, yes, it's me. I'm at your house now. Huijin doesn't want to live anymore, you know... How is this possible? I've been with Huijin for a while, and I know her character. She's definitely not that kind of person. After you misunderstood Huijin, she's been unhappy and cried in her room every day. I think as her father, you should comfort your daughter instead of thinking she's immoral. Besides, she was framed."
Su Youzhang asked: "Who could frame her?"
"I don't know. I'm not calling you to discuss this issue with you. I'm just calling to ask you, do you recognize Huijin as your daughter or not? If you don't recognize her, then I will take Huijin back home and take care of her from now on."
Su Youzhang groaned, "Mrs. Ji, what you said is serious. I am also very sad about what happened to Huijin..."
"Then don't blame her anymore. She has lost her reputation and you misunderstood her. How sad must she be? How about this? I'll make arrangements for you to go out for dinner together tonight and clear up all the misunderstandings, okay?"
Su Youzhang finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Okay, let's have dinner together tonight, Mrs. Ji, you can come too."
"good."
Mrs. Ji hung up the phone and said to Ruan Zai Xiang, "It's done."
"Thank you, Mrs. Ji." Ruan Zaixiang wiped her tears, looking so pitiful. "Thanks to your help this time, otherwise we don't know how long we won't be able to talk to Youzhang again."
"It's my duty." Mrs. Ji looked at Su Huijin with a kind expression, "Huijin, I've told your father that you need to behave well at this dinner tonight."
"Don't make your dad angry anymore, okay?" Ruan Zaixiang said to Su Huijin.
Su Huijin covered her face and choked up, saying, "Thank you, Mrs. Ji."
"Oh! How polite." Mrs. Ji looked at Su Huijin, whose face was filled with tears, and sighed. She thought: She was such a beautiful and excellent girl, but now, everything is ruined.
Seeing this, Su Yi left, went to his room, and took away the computer he had brought with him.
Su Youzhang called her and asked, "Xiaoyi, are you free tonight?"
Su Yi probably knew what the call was about and said with a smile, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Hui Jin said that she misunderstood you before and wanted to apologize to you. She asked if you have time in the evening so that our family can have dinner together."
"Okay." Su Yi agreed readily.
*
night.
In a luxurious private room of a Chinese restaurant.
As soon as Su Yi entered, he saw Su Huijin kneeling on the ground, tears rolling down her cheeks, "Dad..."
Su Youzhang sat at the head of the round table and involuntarily reached out to help her up, "Huijin, get up first before we talk."
Su Huijin couldn't get up. She clutched Su Youzhang's sleeve tightly, tears falling. "Dad, I'm sorry. I was confused that day. I don't know why I became like that. It was probably because my reputation was tarnished. I was not clear-headed at the moment and said that it was my sister who harmed me. My sister is such a kind person, how could she do such a vicious thing to me..."
