Chapter 1115 - 1123: Comfort Is for the Dead
When Song Zhike and Su Manning went to the balcony together, Su Jiuyi was sitting on the swing, while Shi Aoju stood beside her, patiently pushing the swing for her.
The two of them didn’t exchange many words, but the scene was full of affection. When Su Manning saw Shi Aoju swinging Su Jiuyi without a hint of impatience, she guessed something.
"Sister," Su Manning spoke up.
Thinking that Su Manning might have something to say to Su Jiuyi, Song Zhike and Shi Aoju exchanged a glance, using their eyes to signal him to talk elsewhere.
Understanding their signal, Shi Aoju leaned down and whispered in Su Jiuyi’s ear, "I’ll go inside and try your desserts," then he walked straight inside with Song Zhike.
Seeing them leave, Su Manning walked slowly toward Su Jiuyi. As she got closer, she said, "Dad said that when you go back this time, he will immediately arrange a matchmaking session for you."
Upon hearing this, Su Jiuyi’s expression didn’t change much. She just said calmly, "He has the right to decide my life and death, but he has no right to interfere with my life."
She thought, if it weren’t for the incident with Xiao Chen, Su Zhenxiong might have already arranged a matchmaking for her. Now that an alliance with the Xiao Family isn’t possible, she wondered which wealthy family he was plotting with next.
It’s hard to find a father as selfish as Su Zhenxiong, who for the sake of profit, power, and status, would spare no cost, even sacrificing his own daughter.
Su Manning frowned slightly, "It’s true, but after all, dad is dad. Even if you hate him, sister, you can’t go against him. After all, everything he does is for our good. His desire to expand the Su Family’s business isn’t just for himself, but more so, to ensure a guarantee for us."
Hearing this, Su Jiuyi smiled, "Man Ning, you grew up sheltered, never experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, so you naïvely believe that Su Zhenxiong does all this for you."
"No." Su Manning shook her head and said, "Dad only has the two of us daughters. Even if he’s strict with us, it’s for our good."
"Can you guarantee he won’t have a third daughter?"
Her words cut sharply, leaving Su Manning speechless. Indeed, their father betrayed the marriage, betrayed the family, and it’s only a matter of time before he finds another woman and has a third daughter.
Su Jiuyi made room and motioned for Su Manning to sit down. Su Manning nodded, dragging her heavy steps to sit down, and fell into silence, not speaking for a long time.
The two of them sat there quietly, neither breaking the silence first. Over the years, this was probably the first time they sat together peacefully, with debates but without disputes.
Perhaps the topic was too heavy, as Su Manning was glum for the entire evening. During this time, Song Zhike personally roasted a corn for her, then asked if she was feeling unwell. Su Manning just shook her head and told him nothing was wrong, she just felt a little tired.
Su Jiuyi never liked to show her worries on her face. Even though she knew the road ahead would be tortuous, she would still maintain the most optimistic attitude, smiling as she faced it, just as she did in the beginning.
No matter how difficult the road, she must take one step at a time. No matter how many obstacles she encounters, she must grit her teeth and push through.
Feeling tired is right because comfort is for the dead.
