Chapter 65: Su Chengyan Cos Knocking
Translator: 549690339
The cafe was sparsely populated, with just a few scattered tables taken in the morning.
Chi Enen ordered her coffee at the bar counter and paid for her own cup; she then carried it to a corner seat and sat down.
Su Chengyan followed closely and took the seat across from her.
She was already short on grocery money, yet she’d spent 30 yuan on coffee. Chi Enen felt a painful sting. Adhering to the principle that wasting is shaful, she took a sip of the hot coffee despite having no appetite.
It had to be said, the taste of coffee was truly horrendous, she seriously doubted whether even the one-yuan packs of instant coffee powder in the shopping center would taste better!
But the money had been spent, and no matter how bad the coffee was, she forced herself to drink half a cup. After finishing, she put down the cup and broke the silence, “Mr. Su, what did you want to see about?”
A tightness gripped Su Chengyan’s heart, and he couldn’t help clenching his hands that lay on either side.
When had it started, that he needed a reason to see her?
He struggled to contain his emotions, staring unblinkingly at the person opposite him, and began hoarsely, “Enen, how have you been these past years?”
Chi Enen looked at him with surprise, not expecting such a question. After a mont of silence, she suddenly twisted her mouth into a sarcastic smile and said, “Mr. Su, what kind of answer do you want to hear? That I’ve been doing very well these past few years.”
Before he could respond, Chi Enen looked him in the eyes and enunciated every word, “Sorry to disappoint your expectations. I’ve had it rough, very rough. Five years ago, my grandfather had a sudden heart attack and urgently needed money. I thought about asking for your help. But the surgery was not a small expense, and as an illegitimate daughter, 1 was never a match for you. If money beca involved, what face would 1 have to see you again, or your uncle and aunt? Unable to ask you and unable to borrow from Aunt i, I had no choice but to start working. During the busiest tis, 1 had no ti to see you or attend class; 1 had to work three jobs a day, yet the money was still not enough for my grandfather’s expenses…”
Chi Enen spoke quietly as if she was telling soone else’s story, “Just when 1 was at my wit’s end, my ‘good friend’ introduced to a part-ti job that could make a quick buck. I worked as a waitress on a yacht hosting a banquet for rich people. On the yacht, soone drugged without my knowledge, and 1 ended up sleeping with soone. Mr. Su, do you know what despair is? When 1 woke up from a stranger’s bed with my mind blank, the only thing left in my head was to find you, but only after finding you did I learn what true despair was.”
She stumbled to find Su Chengyan, only to find him in bed with her ‘good friend.’
At that mont, she truly understood the despair of feeling as though the sky was falling.
Afterward, Li Beijue thought she’d ‘deliberately’ climbed into his bed and he found her. And later, she discovered she was pregnant…
She knew what Su Chengyan wanted to hear, but why should she lie for his sake?
Su Chengyan turned as pale as snow, his voice slightly tense, “I didn’t know… any of this.”
He hadn’t known; he rely knew that during that period, Chi Enen often skipped classes and was frequently untraceable. When he called her, she would usually hang up directly, and when she returned, it was usually very late, and she always looked very tired. If he asked her, she would evade and refuse to speak.
Later, Yao Qianci ca to him and showed him a photo of Chi Enen entering a room with another man. He got terribly drunk, and when he woke up, he found himself in bed with Yao Qianci..
