Chapter: 2853
Su Zhifei understood that his younger sister was smarter than him, but the old man’s words still stung his pride a little. Deep down, he wondered, “Is Zhiyu really using my words to send a message to the old man?”
Meanwhile, Su Chengfeng didn’t have time to think about Su Zhifei’s feelings. He said, “Let’s put that aside for now. I’ll call Zhiyu.” He hung up the phone and dialed Su Zhiyu.
At that moment, Su Zhiyu was sitting at her desk, staring at her phone. When it rang and showed “Grandpa” on the screen, she felt a sense of relief. However, she didn’t pick it up right away. She waited until the phone rang for the fourth time before answering.
As soon as she connected, Su Zhiyu asked coldly, “Why are you calling me?”
Su Chengfeng quickly replied, “Zhiyu, Grandpa called to apologize. I take full responsibility for what happened between you and your mother. I want you to know that I never meant to hurt you. What happened was just an accident.”
Su Zhiyu responded with a simple “hmm,” but silently thought, “I believe you, but trying to kill my mother isn’t just an accident, is it?”
Su Chengfeng realized there was no point in trying to deny things now. They both understood the situation. With a sigh, he admitted, “I admit I have strong feelings about your mother. Especially after she went to Jinling to participate in the auction for Ye Changying’s old house. It made our family lose face, and I was furious.”
Su Zhiyu took a deep breath and spoke calmly, “I know my mother has made mistakes, but I believe she was justified. After all, it was my dad who betrayed their marriage first.”
She continued, “He cheated on her before she was even pregnant with me and even had an illegitimate daughter. You know that, right? My mom only came to Jinling after she clearly asked for a divorce.”
Su Zhiyu felt strongly about her mother’s actions. “Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with what she did. Hurting my mom over something so small seems unfair.”
“I understand,” Su Chengfeng replied sincerely. “I regret what happened and I hope your mother can give me a chance to make things right.”
Su Zhiyu shook her head. “I don’t think there’s anything to fix. My mother doesn’t want to see you again, and I might not want to see you for a long time either.”
After a moment, she added, “Even though I’m your granddaughter, I hope you take responsibility for your actions and surrender to the police.”
Su Chengfeng felt a wave of frustration but kept it to himself. Instead, he said, “Zhiyu, as the head of the Su family, I have to think about our future and our reputation. If I go to jail, it affects not just me, but you too.”
Su Zhiyu responded calmly, “I just want justice.”
“Justice?” Su Chengfeng sighed. “Zhiyu, let’s talk about this. You’re smart, and we don’t have to…”
Su Zhiyu looked frustrated. “You can tell me directly. What do you want me to do so you can move on?”
Su Zhiyu replied, “I just want you to turn yourself in to the police!”
Su Chengfeng smiled and let out a sigh. “Zhiyu, if I’m guessing right, you’ve talked a lot to Zhifei about this. You must be thinking about this situation and looking to discuss some terms with me. Honestly, I understand where you’re coming from. After all, I’m willing to compensate your wife. So if you have any requests, just let me know. As long as I can agree to it, I will.”
