Chapter 980: She Will Always Be the Sheng Family’s Daughter (10)
Zhang Ziyu’s parents clearly wanted to say something more, but Su Weiyi had already calmly returned to her seat, seemingly unwilling to speak with them further.
She still had that gentle face, but at this moment, there was an indescribable aloofness and nobility about her, completely at odds with the gentle demeanor she usually displayed, making others inexplicably afraid to say more to her.
Zhang Ziyu’s parents left with Zhang Ziyu dejectedly. After several minutes, Su Man finally gave Su Weiyi a thumbs up, "Xiao Yi, you were amazing."
Su Weiyi slightly curled her lips. It wasn’t that she was petty, but Zhang Ziyu had repeatedly overstepped her boundaries. And Zhang Ziyu’s demeanor just now clearly indicated that she didn’t think she was at fault and had no intention of sincerely apologizing.
Su Weiyi didn’t need her apology, especially not an insincere one like that.
On Friday night, Su Weiyi returned to Lake Bay Villa. For one, Sheng Yanxiao wasn’t at school, and for another, Miss Tang had called specifically to ask her to come home for the weekend. Sheng Jiayu and Mu Ke had come from S City.
As night fell, Su Weiyi sat in her room, intending to update a comic. Her Weibo below had returned to normal, free of the previous nonsense.
But for some reason, staring at the Weibo interface, Su Weiyi suddenly didn’t feel like updating it. She spaced out for a few seconds, then closed the laptop.
Just then, Miss Tang knocked and entered, placing a cup of milk and a small plate of washed strawberries in front of her, "Xiao Yi, do you have something on your mind?"
Su Weiyi thought she had disguised it well, but unexpectedly, she had been seen through. She smiled gently, "Nothing."
Miss Tang sat beside her, holding Su Weiyi’s hand, "I heard from your father that you’re busy with competitions. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself; we just want you to be happy."
Su Weiyi hesitated, then mustered the courage to speak, "Mom, if... I mean, if I let you down one day, would you... would you be sad?"
Su Weiyi spoke with difficulty, her eyes showing unwavering focus and seriousness.
Miss Tang clearly misunderstood, thinking she meant the competition, and gently stroked Su Weiyi’s hair, "Xiao Yi, you have never let us down. You will always be our pride, the daughter of the Sheng Family, so don’t burden yourself too much."
Even as she lay in bed, Su Weiyi’s ears echoed with, "You will always be our pride, the daughter of the Sheng Family."
She is the daughter of the Sheng Family. Yes, she is the daughter of the Sheng Family.
The courage she had built up because of Sheng Yanxiao crumbled instantly with that one sentence.
Su Weiyi closed her eyes. She knew very well that she would probably never have the courage in this lifetime to tell them about her relationship with Sheng Yanxiao.
Whether she was their pride or not, she cared less about that. But Su Weiyi knew clearly that she couldn’t and wouldn’t bear to see their shocked, disappointed, and saddened expressions.
She is the daughter of the Sheng Family, a daughter, not a daughter-in-law.
Her tightly closed eyes gradually became moist as Su Weiyi bit her lips hard.
The room was very quiet, yet eerily so.
After a long while, the sudden ringtone abruptly rang out, and Su Weiyi opened her eyes, her eyes already red.
Staring at the caller ID, her heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. The words "boyfriend" were jumping out prominently.
She wasn’t such a direct person; that note was forcibly changed by Sheng Yanxiao.
