Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Concern Leads to Chaos

Seeing her face distraught with sorrow, Ning Yichen felt some turmoil in his heart.

He took Su Lianxi’s hand and sighed gently, “I’m not doubting you. I called you yesterday and you didn’t answer; do you know how worried I was?”

With a sob, Su Lianxi said, “Yesterday I was too upset. I went to bed without eating dinner, so I didn’t know you had called. Mom can vouch for me. This morning I was getting ready to go to the hospital to take care of you, but then I saw the news.”

Lin Shuyue quickly nodded in agreement.

Su Lianxi continued crying, “Yichen, I’m about to become your wife! Plus, if I really had done what the rumors suggest with the investor, you would find out immediately after we got married. I’m not that stupid… The most important thing is, I love you! I’ve liked you so much since the time you were lying sick in bed; I fell for you silently. How could I do something to betray you? Yichen, if you truly doubt me, I might as well be dead!”

She covered her face, weeping uncontrollably!

Watching Su Lianxi’s distressed face, Ning Yichen felt a pang in his heart.

Su Lianxi was his girlfriend, the one he loved, the one who had saved him and stood by him unwaveringly for three years!

How could he doubt Su Lianxi for another woman?

Although Su Zixi’s care for him last night had shaken him a bit, how could that compare to Lianxi’s three years of devotion?

Thinking this, Ning Yichen’s face showed self-reproach as he gently embraced Su Lianxi, “I’m sorry, how could I doubt you? I was just worried and confused.”

It was then that Su Lianxi’s tears turned to laughter, “That’s good, as long as you believe me, I don’t care what anybody else thinks.”

Ning Yichen stroked her hair and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this matter.”

At that moment, an angry shout suddenly rang in his ears.

“You still have the face to come back!”

It was Su Guo’an’s voice, glaring furiously at the woman appearing at the doorway.

Ning Yichen looked up to see Su Zixi standing there. Her face was stern, and it seemed as if flames were burning in her eyes.

For some reason, his heart suddenly clenched. If Su Lianxi was innocent, then was the woman in the photo really Su Zixi? After leaving the hospital yesterday, did she meet the investor? Somehow, he felt Su Zixi was not capable of such a thing.

It was also possible that Su Zixi did this deliberately to deceive him. After leaving the hospital, there was enough time to meet with the investor, and yet it was the perfect alibi to clear her own suspicion.

Thinking this, Ning Yichen’s eyes turned cold.

Su Zixi strode into the living room and looked directly at Su Lianxi, “Was it you who told the media that I’m the one who had an affair with the investor?”

“Sister…” Su Lianxi said with an aggrieved tone, “It really wasn’t me.”

“If not you, who else knows about our enmity and could precisely direct this dirty water onto me?” Su Zixi sneered.

Choking back tears, Su Lianxi said, “Sister, you can’t say it like that. The investor’s testimony was conclusive; it was either you or me. We’re not the only ones who know about us.”

Su Zixi clenched her fists in secret.

In this house, including her own biological father, everyone was convinced it was her doing. What was she doing here confronting Su Lianxi?

Ning Yichen’s gaze was also icy and distant.

As expected, he didn’t hesitate to believe Su Lianxi.
