Chapter 123 It's Going Abroad, Not Gone 3
Yang Ning was a fugitive who killed the fugitive who had been tormenting his sister's family for the sake of his sister.
Perhaps this mother reminded her of her older sister, or perhaps for some other reason, in any case, Yang Ning found the original owner of the body and raised her well.
Su Su actually thought Yang Ning was quite foolish, but since she was the one who benefited, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Ah Su, is this breakfast not to your liking?"
Su Su looked at the coarse grain and sweet potato porridge in Yang Ning's bowl, then at the exquisite breakfast in front of her, and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Su Su shook her head. "No."
Seeing that Su Su was in a low mood, Yang Ning assumed that Su Su might be worried about going abroad.
"Is something on Asu's mind?"
These words startled Su Su.
This was the period when the original owner revealed that she had a lover, and in fact, she secretly made a lifelong commitment during this time, which can be described as quite bold.
"A little bit, Father. Didn't you say I saw a dark figure on the windowsill? I later found out it was a man." Su Su bit her lip slightly, a shy blush rising on her face.
Yang Ning's heart tightened. Looking at his beloved daughter in this state, a sense of absurdity arose within him, and at the same time, he seemed to vaguely guess something.
But he suppressed the urge to immediately press Su Su for answers, and simply gazed at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
“His name is Pei Li, and we fell in love. I told him about my plans to go abroad, but…” Su Su’s voice gradually choked up as she spoke.
Seeing this, Yang Ning quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Take it easy, don't be sad. Did that bastard bully you? Or what happened? If he did, I'll help you get revenge and make him pay the price."
His words were filled with pity and anger.
But Su Su had her head down, and Yang Ning couldn't see her expression. He only heard her whisper, "He didn't bully me. He just wanted me to stay with him."
Yang Ning clenched his fist instantly, his knuckles cracking from the force, the sound particularly clear in the quiet room, as if it were an outward venting of his inner anger and turmoil.
"And what are your thoughts?" Yang Ning tried to slow his tone and make his voice sound calm and composed, but the slight tremor at the end of his voice still betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
He forced a smile, managing to create a slightly stiff one as he faced Su Su, trying to give her a sense of security and allow her to confide in him.
However, Su Su simply sat there quietly, without saying a word.
Her eyes darted around, as if she was struggling with something, or perhaps afraid to face it.
Yang Ning felt his heart gripped tightly by an invisible hand. He was truly afraid that his precious daughter would say she wanted to give up going abroad and stay with that man, afraid that she would make a choice he couldn't even imagine.
Whenever he thought about it, his mind felt like it was being overwhelmed by a surging tide, he felt dizzy, and his whole body was swaying. He seemed to have lost the ability to think and judge, and could only wait for Su Su's response in endless worry and fear. Every second of waiting was like a long and agonizing ordeal.
"I—I want to go abroad with my dad." Su Su bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, then raised her round eyes to look at Yang Ning, her eyes filled with a hint of dependence and determination.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ning's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and the smile on his face became natural and cheerful. He said "good" three times in a row.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Could it be that his precious daughter wanted to go abroad with that bastard?
This thought made his heart, which had just been at ease, start to race again.
So he cautiously tried to ask, "So, how are things between you and him?"
Su Su gently shook her head, her eyes filled with confusion, and whispered, "I don't know."
She hunched her shoulders slightly, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, appearing somewhat restrained. Under Yang Ning's gaze, she seemed like a child who had done something wrong, at a loss for what to do.
"Then don't contact him anymore. I'll handle it." Yang Ning's tone was unquestionable, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination.
The struggle on Su Su's face was clearly visible; her brows were furrowed and her lips trembled slightly.
Yang Ning gently patted her back to comfort her, "It's okay, I won't do anything to him. Don't you trust your father?"
“I don’t disbelieve you!” Su Su hurriedly replied, “It’s just that Ali said he has no money and can’t go abroad. But his behavior doesn’t seem like he has no money, so I suspect, I suspect…”
As Su Su spoke, her emotions grew increasingly agitated, and she couldn't help but sob. Her body trembled slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if she harbored many unspeakable confusions and anxieties.
Yang Ning was heartbroken and quickly found out Pei Li's background: he was the grandson of Bai Yu, the president of the Yuanhe Chamber of Commerce.
He just had a conflict with his family and, being arrogant, didn't want their money.
Upon seeing the information in his hand, Yang Ning learned that Pei Li had gone home. After leaving home, Bai Yu's already weak health deteriorated further, and she kept calling out Pei Li's name.
Yang Ning curled her lips into a mocking smile and burned the letter in her hand against the candle.
"I don't love you anymore!"
Pei Li was struck as if by a bolt from the blue. His body jolted violently, and something seemed to choke him. His grief-stricken face froze instantly, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He stood there blankly, staring intently at Su Su, who had suddenly become indifferent, trying to find a trace of the familiar tenderness and love on her face, but all he saw was a cold indifference.
"I don't believe you love me. We've been together for so many days..." Pei Li's voice was filled with deep sorrow and resentment, his eyes filled with pain and doubt as he tried to grasp at the fading illusion of love.
"Enough! I don't know what you're talking about!"
Su Su decisively broke free from Pei Li's grasp, her movements swift and resolute.
Then, without looking back, she turned around and walked quickly toward the rickshaw parked by the roadside.
Pei Li watched Su Su's departing figure with growing anxiety, and instinctively wanted to chase after her.
But just as he lifted his foot, someone called out to him from behind. The voice was like an invisible rope, pulling him back from his pursuit.
Su Su's gaze was fixed on the man's face, and in an instant, the lines of fate slowly appeared before her eyes.
The intricate lines seemed to foreshadow all sorts of possible future directions, stirring an indescribable tremor in her heart.
She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her heart, feeling its powerful beating, as if drawing strength from the rhythm of life.
At that moment, she made up her mind.
A short while later, Su Su returned home. She rushed to Yang Ning's study, her face beaming with excitement and her eyes filled with anticipation for the future. "When are we going abroad? I've decided, I want to become a doctor!"
As she spoke, she gestured wildly at Yang Ning, her energetic demeanor suggesting she could already envision her bright future as a doctor.
Yang Ning felt gratified seeing his daughter like this. He genuinely encouraged Su Su to pursue her dreams and didn't think her ideas were unrealistic.
As for his beloved daughter, as long as she is not troubled by matters of love, he is willing to fully support her in doing even impulsive things.
However, Yang Ning couldn't help but wonder why Su Su suddenly wanted to become a doctor after just one trip.
“It wasn’t sudden, I’ve always had this idea. My father was wounded in battle, and it broke my heart! Besides, I really don’t like fighting, and I want to do my part.” Su Su spoke very seriously, her eyes showing determination.
“I know that Father went abroad not just to escape the war! There must be other reasons, otherwise, with Father’s abilities, he wouldn’t have taken me abroad.”
As Su Su spoke, she counted on her fingers, analyzing things carefully. Her mature demeanor was truly adorable.
"A-Su has really grown up!" Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Looking at the little girl who used to snuggle in his arms, now able to speak such sensible and thoughtful words, his heart was filled with a complex mix of relief and emotion.
"Of course! So Father will send me to the battlefield too!"
Yang Ning stared at Su Su for a while, and from her determined eyes, he saw her resolve and determination.
So he nodded emphatically, which was his way of agreeing.
"We're leaving for the United States tomorrow."
