Chapter 767 Yin'er, can you forgive your father?
As the mask slowly slid off, the face hidden behind it finally appeared completely in front of Su Chenyin.
It was a male face with clear contours and strong lines, which actually had some similarities with Su Chenyin.
Under his thick, sword-like eyebrows, a pair of deep and bright eyes sparkled, just like the agility and intelligence that often appeared in Su Chenyin's eyes.
The tall and straight nose bridge stands like a mountain in the center of the face, adding a three-dimensional sense to the whole face.
And the slightly upturned corners of his lips, with a faint smile, seemed to be able to find some shadow in Su Chenyin's smile.
Su Jinghuai pointed at his face anxiously and shouted to Su Chenyin in a hurried tone:
"Yin'er, take a good look at my face and compare it to yours. Can't you see that we have some similarities? With such obvious features, how can you not believe that I am your biological father? How could I not be your father!"
His eyes were full of anticipation, hoping that Su Chenyin could see evidence of their blood connection from his face.
Su Chenyin stared quietly at the slightly panicked man in front of her, and the hint of teasing in her heart did not disappear.
She pursed her lips slightly, and a barely perceptible cunning light flashed across her eyes.
Then she deliberately raised her voice and said, "That's hard to say! There are countless people in this world who look alike. Can we determine the parent-child relationship based on appearance alone?"
"Besides, you said you are my father, but is there any father in this world who would be so cruel as to abandon his daughter, son, and wife without caring about them? Don't you agree?"
Her voice is clear and pleasant, as melodious as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
But every word was like an extremely heavy hammer, hitting Su Jinghuai's heart hard.
Su Jinghuai's expression changed slightly, and his eyes were instantly filled with panic, pain and guilt.
Su Chenyin's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing straight into the softest and most guilty part of his heart.
His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to justify why he had abandoned them, and wanted to tell about the helplessness and hardship he had experienced over the years.
But he found that his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't speak for a while.
The air around them seemed to freeze. Jun Yijue, Lu Ziche and others focused their attention on the father and daughter. The square was so quiet that only the sound of the breeze could be heard.
After a long time, Su Jinghuai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He opened his mouth slowly and explained: "Yin'er, I know that I have been absent from your growth for so many years. This is my fault. Father is really sorry for you!"
"But, there are too many unspeakable frustrations in what happened back then. Father didn't mean to abandon you, I really have my own difficulties..."
His voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart.
He sighed heavily, and that sigh was filled with deep helplessness and endless sadness.
Su Chenyin looked at Su Jinghuai, still feeling angry about his father's past behavior.
However, when she saw her father's painful and regretful look, like a wounded beast licking his wounds alone, the anger in her heart involuntarily dissipated a little.
She knew very well that her father must have had his own reasons, but what those reasons were, lingered in her mind like a mist, unable to be shaken off.
She bit her lip, and her pearly teeth touched her lower lip, leaving a shallow mark, revealing her inner entanglement and struggle.
After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head, looked directly into Su Jinghuai's eyes, and asked:
"Since you keep saying that you have your own difficulties, then please tell me what kind of difficulties could make you be so cruel as to abandon us and not care about us for so many years?"
There was still a hint of stubbornness in Su Chenyin's voice, but the previous indifference was gone.
Su Jinghuai slowly raised his head and looked leisurely at the high and vast sky, with a hint of reminiscence and helplessness quietly revealed in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "Hey, Yin'er, I really can't tell you about this matter right now."
"The reasons involved are too complicated, and they contain too many secrets that even you don't know yet. Now is not the right time for you to understand these, otherwise, it will only bring you more unexpected dangers."
His voice was a little hoarse, and every word he said revealed endless vicissitudes and helplessness.
He put his hands quietly behind his back, his posture still straight and upright, but he vaguely revealed a different kind of loneliness.
The breeze blew softly, ruffling his hair playfully.
However, even such a gentle breeze seemed unable to dispel the thick and insoluble sorrow deep in his heart.
After hearing what Su Jinghuai said, Su Chenyin was stunned for a moment, and a complicated emotion arose in her heart.
Her heart, which was originally full of expectations, suddenly became cold as if a bucket of cold water was poured on it.
She had been looking forward to hearing a reason from her father that could perfectly explain all her doubts.
But the answer he gave now made her feel a little confused and she didn't know how to deal with it.
"Oh... So that's how it is. I understand." After a long while, she responded softly as if she had just woken up from a dream.
But the voice sounded unusually low, and there was also a hint of loss in it that was hardly noticeable.
She thought, since he didn't want to talk more, she wouldn't force him.
Maybe it was really as he said, those things were too dangerous and not suitable for me to know now.
Su Jinghuai stared at Su Chenyin's face which was as calm as water. His heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, causing waves of sharp pain.
He knew very well that the answer he had just given made his daughter feel disappointed and lonely.
But once those secrets were leaked, they would bring immeasurable danger to Su Chenyin.
Su Jinghuai took a small step forward, his expression extremely anxious, and shouted with a slightly trembling voice:
"Yin'er, father knows he was wrong. Father really knows he was wrong! Can you forgive father? For so many years, there has not been a single day that Daddy has not spent in regret!"
"I regret not being able to stay by your side and protect you when you were in the most difficult times and in urgent need of support. Yin'er, your father really has his own difficulties, but he really can't tell you about them, because he did this all for your own good, it's absolutely true!"
There was a slight tremor in his voice, which showed his deep guilt and love for his daughter.
He couldn't help but stretch out a hand, trying to get closer to Su Chenyin who was so close.
But when he saw her evasive movement, the hand he had stretched out froze in mid-air as if he had been electrocuted. He did not dare to move forward at all and just stood there awkwardly.
