CEO Vengeful wife

Chapter 133 - Just call me Father

"Actually, I would." Jing Lihua smiled. "This is the least I can do for the only person in the world other than me who still remembers my mother." Jing Lihua recalled the second-day od her reincarnation, she had visited her mother's cemetery. There was as a lone rose flower resting on her grave. She couldn't have guessed who it was.

Until her grandfather told her about her mother's past with Su Guozhi.

Su Guozhi didn't say anything for a while and quietly arranged the pieces back in order. "Are you not going to ask why I didn't attend your wedding with Su Liwei?" There was a tinge of helplessness in his tone. He wanted her to ask. But at the same, he was also reluctant to answer.

Jing Lihua glanced at him getting up from the chair. She still needed to see Su Liwei. "I know about father-in-law-"

"Just-" Su Guozhi suddenly cut her; his voice was curt and impatient. "-call me father." Something akin to guilt flashed in his eyes.

He didn't want her to call him father-in-law?

'Is it that he wanted to be closer to me by letting me call him father or is it he never wanted me to marry Su Liwei and can not accept me as his daughter-in-law?' Jing Lihua would never know the real reason.

"Father." Jing Lihua said, unaware of how much that word affected that man in front of her. "I know that you don't like spending time here. It's alright with me."

Su Donghai recalled this man from her childhood. He used to visit her often but his visits were always discreet. He used to be very kind to her. In fact, he was the one who had united her with her grandfather after her mother died.

But Su Liwei was also this man's son. He must have been aware that his son and brother were up to destroy Jing Lihua. But even then, he let Jing Lihua and Su Liwei get married. Jing Lihua couldn't blame him in any way. Because she knew Su Guozhi held no power in the Su family.

He was the adopted son; he was never treated fairly by this family. They had excluded him from the property unwilling to give him any shares. Later, after getting married, he had abandoned his family and joined the military. There, he had risen to the ranks of Captain. As for his children, they stayed in the manor. Mainly because Su Donghai let Yang Biyu stay because he was close to her.

If not for Su Liwei's mother, Tang Biyu heritage, Su Liwei would never have been able to make a standing in the Su Empire. Also because Su Donghai had no sons, Su Liwei could be elected as the president.

Even with the backing from his mother's side and that all, he still lost the position to Su Donghai in the end.

But when it came to Su Guozhi, he had no actual influence. So he wouldn't have been able to stop Su Liwei and Jing Lihua's wedding even if he wanted to.

Su Guozhi's eyes were on the table. The whole time he hadn't looked up. "I have been keeping an eye on you, Jing Lihua. You have been doing great. If things ever go out of control and you feel like you have nowhere else to go, you can come to me. There is always a place that will accept you."

Before Jing Lihua could even open her mouth to ask any question, Su Guozhi rose. "Well then," Even after arranging the table, he didn't play, "You must not keep the people waiting for you. I am sure they all must be fretting where you disappeared all of sudden." He laughed lightly and guided her out. He didn't give her a chance to ask any question and closed the door.

"What could he even mean by that?" Jing Lihua was puzzled. Like always, this Su family was far beyond her comprehension.

Following what she had planned for, Jing Lihua wanted to go and find Su Liwei now. However, the people who were fretting over her disappearance had planned other things.

...

"Housemaster, she entered the Captain Guozhai room and stayed there for twenty minutes." The poor house butler was tasked to report Jing Lihua every movement to Su Donghai.

"How did she found her way in? Who told her?" Su Donghai' voice rose considerably. 'Of course, his brother would take her side. He wouldn't have been able to forget that Tang Yuyan' Al these events bared some old wounds on Su Donghai. Those wounds that would never have been suffered by him if there was no Su Guozhi.

"No one did Housemaster. As you had instructed not a single servant guided her.'

Su Donghai grimaced: "And you let her in? Just like that?"

"But housemaster, you instructed us not to interfere."

"I asked you not to guide her in. But who does she think she is allowing herself in like that on her own? I am the master of this household. And the first person she goes to see is that Su Guozhi? Is she belittling me or what?!"

"Housemaster, Captain Guozhi is her father-in-law so maybe that's why Madam thought-" The butler broke into cold sweats when he caught the infuriated look on the housemaster's face.?He was not taking her side! He just wanted to clear the misunderstandings and avoid the fights!? What was wrong with that?!

He just didn't want to end up as a scapegoat!

"You get some servents and send them to her. Ask them to bring her in front of my room." Su Donghai' voice was stern. His butler knew from the temper he better not do something wrong and end up jeopardizing his future. The housemaster was truly scary today.

"W-What do we do after bringing her here?" The butler's calm and professional voice broke.

"Make her kneel in front of my door. Have the servants stand guard over her so that she isn't able to leave on her own. Tell her that she would not be allowed to leave unless she asks for forgiveness for what she did."

"Actually, I would." Jing Lihua smiled. "This is the least I can do for the only person in the world other than me who still remembers my mother." Jing Lihua recalled the second-day od her reincarnation, she had visited her mother's cemetery. There was as a lone rose flower resting on her grave. She couldn't have guessed who it was.
