Chapter 289: Showdown
sat down coldly, coldly looking at the tearful embarrassment and haggard face of the man opposite, and happiness rose in his chest. Su Qing suddenly lost her nervousness and boredom.
The scene in front of her made her glad that she could make the decision to meet and had the opportunity to vent her happiness. Although there is too much complexity in this pleasure.
Ning Feiyang was obviously a little flustered, he was quickly tidying up his appearance. The smile also shines on the face after being wiped with a tissue.
Although that smile was very warm, Su Qing couldn't help but reject. That smile has so much warmth and love, that's a father's smile. Such a smile only belongs to his own memory, and only belongs to the generous man in that mountain village.
Ning Feiyang quickly regained his composure and pushed the dessert that had already been ordered on the table.
"I've had dinner. I chose this place because of the French desserts. Try this, it's Napoleon crisp. The taste is good. Quick, see what else you like? Ning Feiyang pushed the menu over, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation.
Su Qing pulled the dessert and menu aside, she made such a move defiantly, and her provocative eyes swept coldly towards the other party.
"I'm sorry. I'm not interested in any of that. I am a child who came out of the mountains, and I always eat to be full. So I don't have the habit of enjoying dessert after a meal. That's a habit that you people in the big cities have developed. Su Qing shook off her disdain.
The corners of Ning Feiyang's mouth twitched, and his heart twitched in the same way. The girl's words made him feel distressed and guilty.
He tried to make his smile warmer.
"Kids. Thank you for coming to see me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do what I can to make amends for the mistakes I made. Child, I dare not beg you to forgive me. I just want to do something that needs to be done while things can be salved. Son, can you tell me something about your past, I'm really curious. Ning Feiyang's voice gradually became trembling. He kept his composure through the hard swallows.
Su Qing's disdainful eyes were gradually changing, her face was gradually flushed, and she was becoming excited. She was also feeling difficult breathing, and she was also feeling grievances. Resentment is also surging.
"Kid. Just talk about the past and let me know a little bit about when you were a kid. What do you like? Hate what? What's your favorite snack? What is your favourite activity? How did you learn? What kind of grievances are there?。。 Ning Feiyang gradually became chattering. He's becoming more and more engaged, more and more obsessed.
"Enough. Don't talk to me like that. You don't deserve it! I tell you, I have nothing to do with you, only one person who can talk to me like this, who can care about me like this. He's dead. Died 10 years ago. He was trying to pick up his students when he was hit off a cliff by a car. He is the God in my heart, and he is the God in the hearts of all the schoolchildren in the mountains. He never said these non-nutritious things to me, he would just sneak me some snacks brought back from outside the mountains, and only buy me some dresses that the mountain children envied. He had very few words, and he cared for me like a mountain. I despise your kind of fake concern, you will only be hypocritical, and you will only play in front of people. My dad has always just done things in silence. I warn you, don't speak in such a tone, don't try to take someone else's place. You don't deserve it. You can never do what he did. You shut up. Su Qing suddenly became hysterical, and suddenly she couldn't suppress her grievances anymore and couldn't hold back her tears.
Tears blurred her vision, tears made her language incoherent. Tears cheered her up.
Ning Feiyang also shed tears in his astonishment. Complexity and tangled brains hit their own minds, hitting every inch of their nerves.
A vague figure unconsciously rose in his mind. The figure was ethereal and ethereal.
Tears made Ning Feiyang have to choke quickly.
"I know. Child. I don't deserve it. I am hypocritical, I am guilty. However, I am still a father. I should still tell you that I love you! My baby. I'm hypocritical, but I'm not cold-blooded. I'm guilty, but I have a conscience. If I could, I would do everything to make amends for my mistakes. Don't reject me, child, don't live in hatred. Dad is willing to do everything to atone for your sins, and Dad is willing to do everything to make you forget the past. Ning Feiyang caught the figure opposite tightly in his blurred vision.
"Shut up! You shut up! Don't say the word dad to me. You are Ning Feiyang, and my father is Su Wen. I only have one dad. You remember to me that you and I will always be strangers. I regret it now, I shouldn't have been in this city, I shouldn't have come to Lingyun Company. If I had to choose again, I would definitely choose to accompany my father, and I would definitely protect the purity he left me. I hate everything here, everything here is dirty. Everything here is hypocritical. I regret it. Su Qing wiped the tears on her face, as if she was wiping away her remorse.
Ning Feiyang stretched out his hand, but he stopped his movements when he was about to touch the girl's arm, and he hesitated to retract his hand. He quietly waited for the girl to vent.
Su Qing wiped the tears from her face fiercely, and she magically regained her composure in an instant.
Ning Feiyang endured the pressure brought to him by this brief moment of embarrassment. He was a little stammered for a moment.
"Alright. I've been here too. You've expressed your heart, too. I don't accept it, but I can tell you for sure that I don't care about these things anymore. As I said earlier, I regret coming to this city, and I regret coming to seek justice. A lot of things are impossible to get back. I used to wonder what kind of person was the one who threw me away. What would they do if they knew there was someone like me? Ha ha. Now I realize how ridiculous my idea was. I have nothing to do with you, so what if I did? I'm still me, the girl who came out of the mountains. I still can't be as hypocritical as you. I'm still the same girl in the mountains who doesn't fit in here. My grandmother and dad are my only relatives, and I abandoned them to take revenge. What if you take revenge? We are still strangers. So, Mr. Ning. We can put it down. I won't pester you anymore. I can even give you back your shares. I have only one request, don't bother me again. I'm here to give you my answer. That is, we don't have any relationship, don't be upset about me. Today we can end it all. I hope you can forget all that I have brought you. Mr. Ning, I wish you all the best. Su Qing slowly poured out her heart in calm, and slowly stood up in calm.
Ning Feiyang gradually became intoxicated in the girl's soothing voice, and he tried his best to absorb every word of the girl, as if such a voice was worth cherishing in his heart. He likes such happiness.
But the girl's words were whipping him, and her resoluteness made Ning Feiyang shudder.
"Wait. Su Qing. I have something to say. Please give me a few minutes. I can't let you be like this, and I can't let myself be like this. Ning Feiyang quickly sobered up, quickly stood up and stopped the girl.
"Get out of the way. We have nothing more to say. Everything that needs to be said has been explained. Su Qing poured out her impatience coldly. poured out his uneasiness.
"I'm not going to get out of the way. I know I am not worthy to command you. But I believe that a daughter who hates her father must give her father a chance. This opportunity is at stake for my daughter's future, and I have to seize it. Otherwise I won't have peace of mind. Let's work together. Child. Please sit a little longer, I have something to say. Even if I don't deserve it, I'm an older man after all. I hope you can fulfill my wish. Ning Feiyang's tone was infused with unquestionable resoluteness.
Su Qing stared fiercely into the other party's eyes. She's defiant.
Ning Feiyang was also staring at the girl's eyes, he was melting the anger in the other party's eyes with concentration and determination.
Su Qing finally sat back in her seat. Her whole body began to show laziness.
Ning Feiyang finally let out a long sigh of relief. He had a brief moment of satisfaction.
"Kids. I know nothing can make you forgive. However, I still have one thing to say. I really didn't know there was such a young life as you in this world. If I knew all this, I would never have let you leave me. Maybe you'll say I'm hypocritical. But I would rather choose such hypocrisy than accept my cold-bloodedness. Child. Since I'm not cold-blooded, I'm going to tell you that I'm not going to give up my responsibilities. Although it's a late duty. But I have to do my part. This is my happiness, this is my redemption for myself. Child. Give me a chance. Give yourself a chance too. All right? Ning Feiyang quickly exhaled his eagerness in one breath.
The corners of Su Qing's mouth turned into a sneer.
"Mr. Ning. If you need this opportunity, I can understand that. You like to dress yourself up as a gentleman. It seems that this is in line with your usual personality. But don't get me involved. I said I'd given up on pursuing it, and I'm not uncommon to see such opportunities. I apologize for what I did. As for your reasoning, it doesn't matter anymore. Your grievances with Xia Xiaofu have nothing to do with me. Whether you abandoned her or not, that's between you. I'm not interested. Can we wrap it up? Su Qing poured out her disdain slowly.
Ning Feiyang closed his eyes with a sigh. There was a sudden exhaustion of his body and mind.
In the face of such complexity, he could no longer accumulate his wisdom. I am facing the most difficult complexity of my life to solve.
"Kids. Are you happy? If you didn't know we existed, maybe you would be happy to be yourself. But, you know us. Our presence has distorted your outlook on life. I can relate to your feelings. You must be full of resentment inside. You must be doubting humanity. Child. I can't let you live in resentment. I can't let you leave me disappointed like this. I have to let you know that we love you and that we are willing to do anything for you. But you have to give me this chance. You can't let me end it all like this. It's our fate, just as you have my blood in your veins. I'm proud to have you. I also feel guilty and blamed myself for not being with you through my childhood. Children, we face the future together. All right? Ning Feiyang was moved, and even more emotional.
Su Qing gradually widened her eyes, she was not becoming focused, but appreciating in curiosity.
"Haha. Mr. Ning. You are such a gentleman. I'm so touched by you. But is what you're saying still useful? Can you get everything back that happened? Can you turn back the clock? Where were you when I was abandoned? You are with your happy family. You're leading your family to enjoy life. You're enjoying the joy of your success. I'm a tiny dust, and I really can't afford your responsibility. Honestly, listening to such beautiful words from you gives me goosebumps all over my body. Please, I really don't need your deliverance. Thank you for this hypocrisy. At least this hypocrisy makes me feel better. Thank you. I'm officially telling you, you don't have to think about repaying anything. You don't owe me anything. I wasn't supposed to come in the first place. We should have been content with the status quo. It's a life that I don't have. I'm paying the price for such naivety. I am tired. I don't want to go on any longer. Mr. Ning, I'm done. Can I go? Su Qing stood up again. This time she had the look of waiting patiently.
Ning Feiyang felt the blackened dizziness in front of his eyes. He faded in the girl's self-pitying tone.
Such grievances are mixed with irrepressible resentment, making all hope seem dim. also made his self-blame to the extreme.
A father who makes his daughter have a huge grievance is a father's biggest failure. A father who loses his daughter is a father's greatest disgrace.
I was speechless. I'm desperate.
Silence freezes the air.
The few diners in the restaurant looked at it with curiosity, and they didn't make a loud noise, as if they couldn't bear to disturb their input.
"Kids. Tell me what you wanted. Isn't it, as you told me last time, that I should taste what it feels like to be abandoned? Shouldn't I taste loneliness? Child. Don't run away, tell me. I need to know your grievances, I need to know your truth. Tell me. Ning Feiyang finally spoke, his tone full of exhaustion.
Su Qing's pupils were shrinking sharply, and her body instantly tensed. She suddenly had the same excitement as she had been.
A scene not long ago returned to Su Qing's mind. That time, Ning Feiyang was all tired. Today's Ning Feiyang is not tired, only excited. However, at this moment, he reappeared tired.
"Mr. Ning. I told you. Our entanglement is over. You don't have to do anything anymore. I'll take care of myself. Take care of yourself, too. Your children also need a father. Su Qing's tone also showed tiredness. Showing unwillingness.
Ning Feiyang raised his eyes to look at the girl, and there was vividness in his eyes.
"Kids. I've decided. I can't allow myself to let my daughter down. This is a daughter who has suffered from separation. I love other children. But they've grown up. But my other daughter didn't have the love of my father for a day. I can't give myself permission to give up. I'll do my thing. I will taste a loneliness, I will allow myself to have a peace of mind. I'll come to my daughter then. I would say to her — child. Dad can do anything to pay off his debts. I hope you forgive Dad. Child. Wait for me! Ning Feiyang's voice trembled and he stood up.
"What do you mean? What are you doing? I.. As I said, you don't have to do anything. Let's stop dwelling. I.. I don't have any requirements. Don't do anything in my name. Did you hear that? Su Qing was a little shocked, she heard the meaning of the other party, and saw the other party's resoluteness.
"Huh. It's nothing. I'm not because of you. Silly child, don't be upset. I just found a way, a way to get close to my daughter. I'm really happy, I'm really happy. Child. Everything has to have a result. No matter what the result is, it will be paid. Child. Mark my words. Leave your worries behind. Be happy! Ning Feiyang's voice relaxed, and he stretched out his hand to stroke the tips of the girl's hair.
Su Qing instinctively dodged. But she quickly stopped her movements, and let the other hand's hand run through her hair.
She could feel the reality of the other person at the moment.
Although I have grievances, I am also moved.
There is a faint uneasiness. An uneasiness that can't grasp the future.
