Special 7: Alternate Ending (2)

“Doctor Meng said that you are in good condition and can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. And will fully recover after some rest at home…” Li Ruxi pushed open the door of the ward and brought this good news. However, Su Shuilin couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Leaving here and returning to Su’s House, does that mean she can never go back…

“Shuilian? What’s wrong? Can you tell mother? Seeing that you are so restless, was there something wrong?” Li Ruxi frowned as she sat on the bedside, and scooped out the nutritious porridge brought by the maid. Ready to feed Su Shuilian, “By the way, Xin Yi has been discharged from the hospital. If you are worried about him… Shuilian… Your marriage with Xin Yi will probably happen within half a year.”

“Brother Xin Yi? What’s wrong with him?” What did she mean that he was also discharged from the hospital? Su Shuilian was surprised and didn’t hear the last sentence that Li Ruxi said.

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you? Oh, maybe because you just woke up the day of his accident, and I forgot to mention it. Xin Yi was in a car accident and was in a coma for half a month, but it’s all right now. Your brother and I visited him yesterday, it must be fate: he’s recuping right below this floor, but you can’t go downstairs yet. When he gets home, you can visit again when you have time.” Li Ruxi fed her daughter porridge while talking about the Wang family’s unfortunate event.

“Speaking of which, Xin Yi is a very caring person. While you were in a coma, he came every month and kept persuading me that you would be alright and would definitely wake up. Afraid of delaying the Wang Family, the Old Master had tried several times to resolve your marriage arrangement with Xin Yi, but Xin Yi was reluctant. He insisted on waiting until you woke up to discuss the matter. Now…”

“Mother…” Su Shuilian struggled to get up to explain the impossibility between her and Brother Xin Yi, but was quickly pushed down by Li Ruxi.

“Didn’t you hear what the doctor said? You’re still weak. If you have something to say, just say it while lying down.”

“I…Me and Brother Xin Yi…Impossible…”

“Before, mother also felt that there was little hope. But now that you are awake, Xin Yi was also fortunate to survive a hurdle, so what are you worried about? The marriage of the Su Family.. with the Wang Family is a must. The Old Master will not likely give up such beneficial conditions. Lin’er, if you are different, Xin Yi will treat you well… mother can see that. He is not your father, he is different…”

Su Shuilian held Li Ruxi’s hand bitterly. What if Wang Xin Yi was different from her father? Her heart has long been tied to a man named Lin Si Yao in an unknown time and space. After being married to him for more than 20 years, she never thought that she would have a chance to come back here, nor did she think she would ever part with A Yao under such circumstances.

Su Shuilian grabbed her throbbing heart. Panicked, Li Ruxi hurriedly went out and called for the doctor and nurse.

She would rather faint and return to the place where Ah Yao was. She was destined to disappoint the Su Family, she was not an Eldest Young Lady who would heed to her responsibility. She just wanted to selfishly return to that time and space with A Yao…

—

However, everything didn’t turn out as she expected.

She returned to Su’s House. Back to the independent courtyard before her accident.

The days went on and before she knew it, half a year had passed.

Except her body, which was not as strong as when she was in Dashi, the rest have basically returned to normal.

“Big brother!” Su Shuilan stared at Su Tingyi in astonishment. “This… can’t be done.” She already had a husband, how can she marry someone else?!

Even if the other party was Brother Xin Yi, whom she once admired, she no longer felt anything for him.

She only needed A Yao. Only A Yao.

If she lost consciousness again, maybe she could go back. She even wanted to hit her head against the wall. But since she was discharged from the hospital, the maid who served her was always by her side. Even if she was sluggish for a moment, and then a maid would notice her abnormality.

She’s been Su Family’s center of attention for the past six months.

Whether it is the Old Master, her father, or her mother who comes to visit her once a day, or her elder brother who comes to sit in her courtyard for a while when he has the time: were they worried about her? Or, was it only for her to marry into the Wang family safely? Although she was ignorant of political affairs, she knew that her marriage into the Wang Family was an imminent event for the Su Family.

She felt a chill in her heart, she shouldn’t overthink about her family who loved her so much, but she couldn’t control it. Especially after her big brother dropped such an explosive message to her.

“Shuilian?” Seeing this, Su Tingyi couldn’t help but frown, “Didn’t you like him very much?” Although his sister had kept it a secret, how could he not see her feelings for Xin Yi. What’s more, “Xin Yi took the initiative to mention it. By the way, he asked you to meet tomorrow, you…”

“No, I can’t. Big brother, I…”

“Let’s talk when you meet Xin Yi.” Su Tingyi said in a deep voice, “Perhaps, when you meet him, you will clear your mind.” At the end, he emphasized again: “Shuilian, whether you marry Xin Yi or not, big brother will always support you, don’t confuse big brother with father. That will make big brother very sad.”

“Big brother…” She finally couldn’t help shedding two lines of tears, “I’m sorry…” How could she have thought that her big brother and mother would treat her like that? No matter how the Old Master and father used her, it was all for the purpose of the Su Family. As for her mother and elder brother, even though they couldn’t fight or win, they were not necessarily happy to see it succeed.
