Chapter 251 - The Last Mercy
After a while, Su Jinyi received a message.
"Whose call was it?"
"Nothing, company colleague."
She lied again.
In the face of He Ruiting, she didn't remember how many lies she had told him. In most cases, it was because she had been threatened by others, and she didn't want him to help her, so she had no choice but to do so.
And other than the already dead He Yiyi, the only ones who could threaten her were probably the Su Family members …
Even though she had been injured a hundred times, she was still willing to use her good will to look at them. But in the end, what did she get in return?
Should he go and help this time?
Su Jinyi couldn't sleep at all.
The next day was Monday, and he needed to get to the company early.
She came to the company with dark circles around her eyes, but she was not in the mood to work. From time to time, she would find Su Jingran's message, but never reply.
During his free time, an unknown colleague muttered, "The Su Clan's tax evasion investigation has been obstructed, and the Su Clan's CEO will once again obtain freedom within a day's time. Is this referring to the Su Clan?"
"Be quiet, don't you know who is Su Yuancheng's daughter?"
"Ah?" No way! Didn't he only have one daughter named Su Jingran? Why didn't you know that you have another daughter? "
"It stopped moving long ago. Slowly, people forgot about it."
"How heartless..."
"Don't say anymore, provoking the He's will make you suffer the consequences. Have you forgotten the lesson you learned from the past?"
… ….
After that, they started to talk about something else. Su Jinyi didn't deliberately listen to them, but that phrase "so ruthless" sounded like a demon's voice continuously in her mind.
Although no one knew what she had done for her family or how she had been treated by them, she suddenly felt as if the words she had been talking about had shackled her soul.
After thinking about it for a long time, she finally made a call to He Ruiting.
"I'm going home tonight."
"Oh?" When He Ruiting heard this news, he was especially happy, "Is there something you want to take? I'll help you deliver it to Yun Xuan's family. "
He did not dare think about whether Su Jinyi had a trace of nostalgia towards that "home", and thus wanted to return.
"No, I have something to say to you."
Su Jinyi's tone was solemn, He Ruiting did not think that it would be anything good.
"Alright, I'll wait for you."
That day, the three bodyguards followed him to work. When she got off work, Su Jinyi simply sat in her bodyguard's car and followed him back to the He family.
Arriving at the He Family residence, Su Jinyi found that He Ruiting had returned to his bedroom.
She knocked on He Ruiting's bedroom door.
"So early today?"
"Didn't you say you had something to tell me? I'll be back early. "
Su Jinyi felt as if she had something in her throat. She was even ashamed of what she had to say next, but she had to say it.
"You don't need to worry so much."
"I'm used to it."
He Ruiting said blandly. His tone was light, but his determination was heavy.
Su Jinyi was quiet for a moment, then said: "Can you let Su Yuancheng go?"
He Ruiting never thought that she would actually come home specially for this matter. At that moment, all five of his feelings were mixed inside his heart.
He thought that when Su Jinyi understood that there was no longer a Su Family member in this world who treated her sincerely, she would actually plead for her on behalf of the Su Family!
At that moment, he suddenly wanted to ask, "In your heart, no matter how much I do, I can't compare to the slightest bit of blood relation between you and me, right? Even if those people have been implicated in your injustice more than once? "
However, he held back. He would definitely not say such a childish question.
"Oh? "Why do you say that?"
On the surface, He Ruiting seemed to have the upper hand, but in his heart, it was as if he had overturned a jar. In fact, he had already planned to take action in secret, and had never mentioned this matter to Su Jinyi before. If he had not secretly let go, the Su Clan case would not have suddenly become deadlocked and be unable to proceed.
He would not reveal all of these to Su Jinyi; just like how he had always silently given in for Su Jinyi.
"I think he's not young anymore. I know that this kind of me is laughable. You must be very disappointed that the always fair me would say such words, but he … After all, he is my father.
After listening to Su Jinyi's explanation, He Ruiting sat at the study table and looked out the window.
At this moment, dusk had arrived. The scenery outside the window was serene and beautiful. Looking at the picturesque dusk, he felt like his heart could also calm down.
"So, you're feeling sorry for your father?"
Su Jinyi thought about it for a moment, and felt that that was not the case.
"I just thought that this was the last thing I would do for the Su Clan. Consider it my last act of kindness."
When she said the word "benevolent", she suddenly felt that it was laughable.
There had been no need for her kindness, but as she gradually turned herself into a hedgehog, those who had hurt her in the past, they had kidnapped her with great reason and made her give them mercy.
She could remain indifferent, but Su Jingran's threat had worked.
"In the future, the life and death of the Su Clan will have nothing to do with you! "Don't you regret it!"
She was not afraid that she would regret it, nor was she afraid that Su Jingran would come take revenge on her.
She just felt that as a daughter, what she did might not be enough …
He Ruiting, who was at the side, was also silent for a long time. Su Jinyi was worried that he would not agree, and added: "After this matter is completed, I will move back to the He family to live."
Her original intention was to express her sincerity, but she did not expect that it was precisely this sentence that caused He Ruiting to shake his head.
"Jin Yi, I always thought you understood me. Whether it was me sending you bodyguards or agreeing to stay at Xiao Qiu's house, it was not to tie you to my side. I only wanted to protect and respect you to the extent that you could accept.
"I know." Su Jinyi also realized that she had said the wrong thing.
"But what you said just now …." He Ruiting smiled dryly, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't do this, let the law enforcement team decide on your father's matter, I can't interfere."
Su Jinyi found it hard to believe.
This was the first time she was rejected by He Ruiting since she met him!
He Ruiting had always always granted anything she asked of him, but Su Jinyi had never thought that he would be rejected by her as well!
After He Ruiting finished speaking, he did not turn to look at Su Jinyi, but continued to look out of the window.
And Su Jinyi, would never ask the same person twice just because of one thing.
She softly said, "Alright, I understand. Just now, I will treat it as though I didn't say anything."
After that, he left He Ruiting's room.
The spacious bedroom seemed incomparably cold.
He Ruiting maintained his posture, and sat motionlessly in front of the window, his heart full of pain.
"Jin Yi, you can forgive others a thousand times, but you won't forgive me …"
