Chapter 158 My sister said she liked his deep affection.
Su Su turned to Su Ning beside her and said, "It's okay, sister."
At the same time, she slightly raised her chin, indicating that Su Ning's blind date had arrived.
Following her gaze, she saw a tall, upright man steadily stepping into the store.
He was probably in his thirties, with strong facial features that exuded maturity and competence. His dark gray suit accentuated his composed demeanor, and his leather shoes made rhythmic sounds as he approached Su Su and Suning.
Su Ning sat upright, her eyes scrutinizing him subtly as she looked him up and down.
Seeing that he was well-dressed and had a dignified demeanor, she thought to herself that his overall image met her expectations for her future brother-in-law, and she couldn't help but nod slightly to indicate that she was fairly satisfied.
Su Su frowned, and in her vision, the man seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dark resentment.
Just as the man's gaze inadvertently swept over her, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, like a hungry beast spotting its prey, greedy and eager. His steps quickened, and the sound of his leather shoes striking the ground became increasingly rapid.
"Sis, this guy doesn't look good!" Su Su couldn't help but tug at Su Ning's sleeve, her voice very low.
Just like in the previous life, this is what the original owner said to Su Ning.
Su Ning looked at her younger sister pouting and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She imitated Su Su's usual coquettish manner, leaned forward, and whispered in Su Su's ear, "How did you know? When did you learn to read people?"
Su Su replied with a hint of coquettishness, "Oh dear! Sister, I'm not joking. He really gave me a terrible feeling. The way he looked at me just now was so fierce and menacing. I felt really uneasy. Let's be careful."
"Don't worry, don't worry! You know I didn't want to go on a blind date, I just came here to appease my mom!"
"Look at what our dad is like, and Mom still doesn't want a divorce. Dad even praises Mom for being virtuous. I just feel disgusted!"
Su Su nodded, completely agreeing with Su Ning's expression.
When Su Ning was in elementary school, she knew that her father was having an affair, that he had another woman and a boy who was a little over a year old.
At that time, Su Su was not yet born, and Su Ning watched her mother cry every day, and even deliberately made Su Ning take cold showers.
They took Su Ning, who had a high fever, to Su's father and said that the child still needed his father and missed him very much when he was sick.
However, Suning was in a daze and felt very unwell, crying and calling for her parents.
However, Su's father was holding and comforting the boy, completely ignoring Su Ning on the ground.
Su's mother, focused solely on winning back Su's father, could only coax Su Ning to be patient a little longer, assuring her that her father would be back soon.
When Su Ning thought she was about to die, it was only after a passerby called her and took her to the nearest clinic that she recovered.
Although Suning was young at the time, this incident left her with a deep shadow.
Moreover, during the chaotic final stages of that marriage, Su's mother was overwhelmed by pain and despair, and did one crazy thing after another.
She once cried and begged him to turn back to her father outside the restaurant where he was having a date with his mistress, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd.
Or perhaps in the dead of night, filled with grief and indignation, she frantically dialed Su's father's number, only to be met with endless busy signals.
But all her hysteria and desperate pleas failed to elicit even a shred of pity from her father. Instead, they felt like punches landing on cotton, making her situation even more difficult and hastening the irreversible end of their already fragile marriage.
Finally, the day of the divorce arrived. Su's mother's tears flowed like a burst dam, unstoppable. Her body trembled slightly from sobbing; she truly did not want to let go.
In contrast, Su's father was expressionless, with cold and distant eyes, as if the person standing next to him was not his wife of many years, but an insignificant stranger.
His mind was entirely on the illegitimate little boy behind him, and he would occasionally bend down to tease him, his eyes full of doting affection.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressive and suffocating. Su's mother looked at Su's father and the little boy, her eyes becoming increasingly red. Driven by extreme madness, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel.
At that moment, she was filled with the thought that as long as the little boy died, Su's father would see her goodness again, and would be able to return to this home and to her side.
But to her utter surprise, the car went out of control in an instant and crashed violently into the roadside guardrail. With a loud bang, everyone in the car was caught in the horrific accident.
The little boy was in critical condition and needed a blood transfusion, so doctors and nurses rushed to his aid.
During the blood test, Mr. Su realized that the little boy was not his biological child at all; he was the child of a mistress and someone else.
Su's father had always been a nag who was kept in the dark.
Then the doctor brought more news: Su's mother was pregnant.
This sudden news stunned Su's father. After a long while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He decisively drove away the woman he was having an affair with and stayed by Su's mother's side from then on, taking care of her wholeheartedly. He never mentioned divorce again.
The peaceful days didn't last long before another storm struck.
The mistress suffered ruthless revenge from Su's father, lost her source of income, and was pointed at and gossiped about by those around her. With nowhere else to turn, her resentment drove her to the brink of madness, and she drove her car directly into Su's father.
Su's father was unable to dodge in time and was hit hard. Although he survived, he lost his fertility and his health deteriorated. Even drinking a few more sips of alcohol became a luxury.
After this ordeal, Su's father completely gave up the idea of having any more sons and focused more of his energy on Su's mother and daughter, Su Ning.
He desperately hoped that the child in Su's mother's belly would be a boy, so that the Su family line could continue.
Days passed, and outside the delivery room, Su's father and Su Ning waited anxiously.
Finally, the nurse came out carrying the baby and told him it was a girl. The momentary disappointment that flashed across Su's father's face was clearly visible.
Although he quickly hid himself, Su Ning, who had been by his side and observing him closely, still managed to catch him.
At that moment, Su Ning felt as if half of her heart had turned cold, as if she had returned to the scene of being ignored by her father when she was a child.
Afterwards, Su Ning secretly told her mother about it. Her mother just smiled, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness and resignation, and said softly that it was good that her father was by her side, and that it was always good for the family to be together.
I wonder if Mr. Su felt that he would only have these two children in the future, and there was no possibility of another boy being born.
His attitude towards Suning and Su Su was neither good nor bad; he could only barely maintain a facade of fatherly love and filial piety.
To outsiders, however, he was an excellent father. Neighbors would always urge him to have another son.
Su's father always responded with a smile that his daughter was like a warm cotton-padded jacket, and that he loved his daughter and didn't care whether he had a boy or not.
But Su Ning, who was already old enough to understand, saw her father laughing and joking outside, playing the role of a good father, but always gloomy and silent when he came home, showing little concern for her and her mother. This stark contrast between his behavior at home and outside made her see it clearly.
Over time, this instilled in her a deep-seated belief that men are all hypocritical and disgusting creatures.
So when she sat at the matchmaking table, looking at her blind date named Tian Xi, she felt a strong sense of resistance.
But for some reason, the deep affection in Tian Xi's eyes when he mentioned his deceased ex-wife gave her a different feeling.
In that instant, Su Ning truly felt her heart flutter.
Tian Xi was so affectionate that Su Ning couldn't help but secretly wish that he could treat her with the same affection.
His ex-wife is dead; now she's just a memory. The living are always more vivid than the dead.
The thought took root in Su Ning's mind and quickly spread.
If she could become Tian Xi's wife, she was confident that with her gentleness and talent, she could gradually replace his ex-wife and make his affections belong solely to her.
Despite her thoughts swirling, she maintained a calm and composed demeanor, gracefully stood up, gently took Su Su's hand, and prepared to leave.
On the way home, Su Ning turned her head and asked Su Su softly, "Sis, what do you think of him?"
Su Su frowned, replying with dissatisfaction, "Sister, what can you do! That man has already been married. What does Aunt Zhang mean by introducing a man like that!"
Her words were full of complaints about the blind date arrangement, but Su Ning was lost in her own thoughts, seemingly ignoring Su Su's words, her mind still replaying Tian Xi's affectionate gaze.
