Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Choose One (3)

Xia Xinyu could hardly wait to share the news with Su Zixi.

She entered the room again, looking at Su Zixi’s calm face, and smiled, “He Jingyao has already made his choice, guess what his choice is?”

Su Zixi lifted her head, seeing the malice in her eyes, she already understood.

Though she was in no way surprised by the outcome, a corner of her heart still stung sharply.

But Su Zixi didn’t want Xia Xinyu to see any trace of her thoughts.

So, she smiled slightly and patted Ziyi, saying, “Ziyi, could you leave first, please? Mom and brother are waiting outside for you.”

Ziyi widened her eyes and shook her head vigorously!

She clung to Su Zixi’s arm, tears flowing again, repeatedly saying, “No, not leaving. Let’s leave together!”

Su Zixi almost cried out as her nose tingled.

Perhaps Ziyi was simply dependent on her, but at that moment, at least Ziyi was unwilling to leave her behind.

Su Zixi took a deep breath, suppressing the sourness in her chest, and gently said, “Ziyi, you go first, and then I will leave. Otherwise, neither of us can leave. Trust me, okay?”

Ziyi shook her head somewhat bewilderedly, seeming determined to stay with her.

Xia Xinyu just looked on coldly at them.

For her, kidnapping Su Zixi alone was enough, so letting Ziyi go was no loss to her.

But giving He Jingyao this choice was like inserting a sharp knife between him and Su Zixi.

Xia Xinyu simply didn’t believe that Su Zixi truly didn’t care!

Ha… because of her presence, she disrupted the plans she had with Yizheng, making it impossible for her and Yizheng’s relationship to be known… so how could she tolerate Su Zixi continuing as the Young Mistress of the He Family!

She just wanted to let Su Zixi know that she, Su Zixi, was nothing to the He Family!

At best, she was just a tool!

Thinking this, Xia Xinyu felt a surge of satisfaction!

…

It took a long time for Su Zixi to soothe Ziyi, who still refused to leave her.

It was Xia Xinyu who grew impatient, sneering, “If you don’t leave now, no one will be able to go!”

Su Zixi pursed her lips and said seriously, “Ziyi, if you don’t leave, neither can I.”

Ziyi still hesitated.

“Ziyi, please listen,” she pushed Ziyi gently, “It won’t be long before I can join you, trust me!”

Ziyi sobbed and finally nodded.

Xia Xinyu grabbed her wrist and led her out of the room.

The door closed once again before her eyes.

Su Zixi slowly exhaled, and suddenly, an immense feeling of loneliness engulfed her.

She couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

From her childhood to now, she seemed always to be in such a position, important, yet never the most important.

Su Guo’an wasn’t truly indifferent to her, but in his heart, Su Lianxi was more important.

Later, she liked Ning Yichen, but Ning Yichen’s eyes were only for Su Lianxi.

And now…

The taste of being abandoned was truly terrible. Although Su Zixi was clear-headed that this was the best choice, she couldn’t blame He Jingyao.

Even if he had chosen her, Su Zixi couldn’t possibly leave Ziyi alone here, a patient.

But still, her heart ached.

They even had a date scheduled for tonight…

Too bad it was also ruined now.

She might never have the chance to hear what he originally wanted to tell her.
