Su Cha was stunned. Her pupils constricted and her eyelashes seemed to be trembling. “End? Why?”
“Because there’s no need.”
He grabbed Su Cha’s hand tightly. His dazzling eyes were not as bright as before, but they were still filled with determination.
“You just have to listen to me carefully. This is what I thought from the moment I woke up. You are alive, and I am also alive. We are both living well by each other’s side. I am also learning to take over your grandfather’s career. I have no other requests. Even if you think that your father is being too saintly and too kind, it’s fine. Su Cha, you just have to remember that I see you as my biological daughter. I don’t regret loving Ruan Yin, just like how I don’t regret taking you away from her those few months.”
He spoke firmly.
From the corner of Su Cha’s eyes, she saw a white figure. Her lips trembled. Just as she was about to speak, Zong Yanxiu continued, “I know you hate Zuo Shaoxin because of me. You don’t have to care about him, but Ruan Yin is still your biological mother. It was not her intention to abandon you back then, but she was too helpless. If you deal with Zuo Shaoxin for my sake, when the time comes, it’s not only the Zuo family who would be hurt. Also, you are the Alliance Master of the Star Alliance. You have other responsibilities.”
“Just treat me as a selfish father. I don’t want to see Ruan Yin fall into a painful abyss with you because of this matter. I loved her, and I loved her sincerely. I gave up everything I could for her. I don’t regret it. Even if something like this happened to me, I still won’t regret it in this state. I just want everything to end here. From now on, we will go our separate ways. You are the daughter of Zong Yanxiu. Your surname is not Zuo. And although your surname is Su, you will always be a part of the Zong family and the Bo family. Just treat it as if those people no longer exist.”
His voice was trembling, as if he was afraid of and felt guilty facing Su Cha. “Xiao Cha, you should not be the one to bear the hatred. I don’t want you to do these things because of me. You should not bear my cowardice. You are the most innocent in this matter.”
Su Cha lowered her eyes. At that moment, her eyes were red. She held Zong Yanxiu’s hand and trembled slightly. “I just feel that you’ve been treated unfairly. I can’t take this lying down on your behalf.”
“Silly child, how is it unfair?”
He touched Su Cha’s head and smiled gently. “At least I’m not really miserable. The unfairness dealt to me has been compensated. At least you are my daughter.”
At that moment, his eyes, which had been silent for so many years, finally reflected a completely brilliant light. He repeated solemnly, “You will always be my one and only daughter.”
As if there was a breeze, this sound drifted slowly and gradually entered Su Cha’s ears.
She looked up. There were two lines of tears on her cheeks, but they could not hide the dazzling light.
Su Cha and Zong Yanxiu turned to see Zuo Zhici standing there, covering her mouth and not crying out loud.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Su Cha.
Su Cha’s voice trembled. At that moment, she heard a hint of pain in her voice, but she still agreed. “Okay, I promise you.”
Zuo Zhici could not help but cry.
