Chapter 39: Chapter 39 - 39 The Heroine

Editor: Atlas Studios

Su Zixi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the pleading and fearful expression on Su Guo’an’s chubby face, her heart softened.

She told herself to trust him one last time.

“Okay, I’ll go,” Su Zixi said, pressing her lips together, “but going forward, don’t come to the school to find me.”

“Alright, alright, as long as you’re willing to come.” Su Guo’an rubbed his hands together, “Then… I’ll call you tonight.”

Su Zixi silently nodded and turned to leave.

…

In the evening, after finishing today’s project with her team, Su Zixi returned to her dorm to change clothes and took a taxi to Jinman Building.

This was also the first time she had left the campus in four days. When the taxi turned, Su Zixi saw the restaurant where she had eaten with Mr. He that day.

A strange melancholy welled up inside her.

Could it be that she was already starting to miss Mr. He’s teasing? How pathetic!

Su Zixi angrily patted her cheeks.

Half an hour later, Su Zixi arrived at Jinman Building. As she walked into the restaurant lobby, she immediately saw Su Lianxi and Ning Yichen standing there arm in arm.

Su Zixi clenched her fists. After seeing this scene many times, she had become numb to it and was no longer as saddened as before.

Moreover, she wasn’t surprised to see them here. Since Su Guo’an’s goal was to reconcile with her, he would definitely call Su Lianxi and Ning Yichen.

She looked straight ahead, planning to bypass them, but who knew Su Lianxi would wave at her with a smile: “Sister.”

Su Zixi raised an eyebrow in surprise. The other day, she had slapped Su Lianxi hard. Given Su Lianxi’s temperament, she would surely want to return it a hundredfold.

And now Su Lianxi was acting as if nothing had happened?

There was definitely a catch.

However, Su Zixi believed that no matter how unreliable Su Guo’an was, he wouldn’t set her up.

Seeing Su Zixi’s expressionless face, Su Lianxi ran over with a smile, “Sister, Dad said you would come. I’m really happy. We’re still good sisters, right?”

Su Zixi’s eyes became more vigilant.

Ning Yichen also came over, holding Su Lianxi’s wrist, and looked at Su Zixi coldly, “About that day, Lianxi said she forgives you, so I won’t hold it against you. But if it happens again, I won’t let you off!”

Su Zixi’s lips trembled slightly. She said nothing and turned to walk towards the private room.

A hint of anger flashed in Su Lianxi’s eyes, but she held it back, as if she had thought of something good, and smiled again.

“Yichen, Sister has always been like this. Don’t take it to heart.”

“I won’t,” Ning Yichen smiled and said.

However, his gaze involuntarily fell on Su Zixi’s back.

It was bizarre; he actually felt that this woman’s back looked stubborn and aloof, inexplicably making him feel a bit sorry for her.

He frowned.

In the private room, Su Guo’an and Lin Shuyue had already arrived. Seeing Su Zixi, Su Guo’an was very happy. Soon after, Ning Yichen and Su Lianxi also entered, which made Su Guo’an even more radiant.

Su Zixi saw this and gently lowered her eyes.

“It’s rare for our family to be together today,” Su Guo’an exclaimed.

Lin Shuyue playfully patted him, “Yichen isn’t part of our family yet.”

Ning Yichen looked at Su Lianxi tenderly, “Soon he will be.”

Hearing Ning Yichen’s words, Lin Shuyue’s face lit up with joy, and Su Guo’an was also pleased.

But remembering that his elder daughter was still at the table, he restrained himself a bit and said with a light cough: “The second thing is also about Lianxi. Zhixi, you didn’t know that the other day, Lianxi had a little argument with you and had to go to the hospital. Unexpectedly, she met the internationally renowned director Chen Xuhua there. Director Chen was casting for the lead role in his new movie, and he asked Lianxi to audition. Guess what?”

Su Guo’an looked at Su Lianxi with pride, “Lianxi’s audition received unanimous praise from the director and the producers! She has been chosen as the lead for this major production!”
