Mr. Su's Love Investigation Report
Chapter 255 - 246

Chapter 255: Chapter 246

Su Rongxing gradually felt uncomfortable under his gaze, becoming more restrained and even a bit coy. "What do you want to talk to me about? Just say it!" Actually, she was happy that he invited her to dinner, but she had enough of the cold shoulder like last time when he went home. She was so eager to arrange food for him, yet he didn’t appreciate it.

Su Ronggui handed her the menu. "Let’s eat first."

After all, with resentment in her heart, Su Rongxing ordered the most expensive dishes on the table, then looked at Su Ronggui with a defiant gaze.

His expression remained unchanged, and he asked the server to bring the dishes promptly.

The server first brought out the pre-dinner drinks, and it was the apple cider she liked to order whenever they ate out together.

Her eyes tingled, and a slight surge welled up from her heart. He always remembered what she liked.

"Can you tell me now why you’ve asked me out?" she asked, with a hardened voice and heart.

He repeated the same, "Let’s eat first."

"Do you think that once you tell me what you want to say, we won’t be able to finish our meal?" She took a sip of her drink. Why did the drink taste so sour?

He remained silent, and the server brought out the appetizers.

"Fine, let’s eat then!" she said, stopping the conversation.

From then on, the two ate without speaking until they finished the final bite.

Su Rongxing vengefully had a good appetite, leaving nothing, not even the dessert.

"If you don’t speak now, I’m leaving." Su Rongxing said, holding the post-dinner drink with her fingers, sneering.

"Rongxing." He looked at her, with a slight frown between his brows. "Do you think it’s worth it?"

Su Rongxing was momentarily stunned, lowered her eyes, gently swirling the glass in her hand. "I don’t know what you are talking about."

"Really don’t know?"

Su Rongxing understood then, he knew everything, and it was pointless to hide it. A fire of anger rose in her heart, "So what? What does it have to do with you? I, Su Rongxing, will do whatever I want, and it has nothing to do with you! Just mind your Tu Hengsha! Haven’t you already put a ring on her finger? Why do you still bother with me?"

He nodded, "Then do you wish someone who can control you to step in?"

Su Rongxing’s face changed. "You wouldn’t dare! If you dare to tell Dad or big brother, I’ll never forgive you!"

"So why do you still do it? Is this person that compelling to you?"

Su Rongxing scoffed, "So what? I want to! I’m happy to!"

"When you were little, anything you didn’t have, whether it was good or not, you wanted. If someone didn’t give it to you, you’d use every means to get it. But in fact, you never liked those things themselves. You just enjoyed the thrill of possession. Once the item was in your hands, you didn’t find it special anymore, cast it aside, even forgot to look at it."

As his voice softly trailed on, Su Rongxing’s expression slowly shifted. Her childhood... her childhood was a time she had been reminiscing about lately.

"So you still remember, do you? Do you remember the me who always snatched things from you? Did you always hate me?"

He didn’t directly answer her question, simply continued, "If there was something you couldn’t get no matter what, you would secretly find ways to destroy it. In short, if you couldn’t have it, then others couldn’t either. If you weren’t happy, no one else should be either."

Su Rongxing suddenly remembered the little dog named "Duoduo" from many years ago, beaten to death by the driver. At that time, she was just about ten years old and had nightmares for many days, dreaming of the dog crying before her, the dream filled with blood. Since then, she feared dogs, whether big or small. Many girls had dogs, but she didn’t dare...

Yes, besides Duoduo, she had destroyed many of his things. What she couldn’t have, she smashed, cut, even things of Su Rongyu. Even after growing up, it didn’t change. The butterfly hairpin he brought home, if she couldn’t have it, she smashed it. But even if she destroyed everything, what use was it? What she most wanted, what she cared about most, she still couldn’t have! She wanted this person in front of her. But she couldn’t destroy him, and she couldn’t destroy Tu Hengsha either.

Yet he, he was still listing her "bad traits," remembering all her flaws.

"So, is that the kind of annoying person I am in your eyes? If so, why did you look for me?" Her tears were already welling up in her eyes, but she desperately held them back. She had her pride; even utterly defeated, she wouldn’t let him see her break down.

"Rongxing." He gently called her name as always, "Back then, you were domineering, unreasonable, prone to tantrums, with many flaws. You were just concealing your fears. A child who lost her mom feared the new intruder would take over your space, rob the remaining love from your dad, feared there was no one to care or pay attention to you. The more you acted out, the more panicked you were inside."

No longer able to hold back, Su Rongxing’s tears flowed freely. She knew she wasn’t likable, but she’d always proudly shown through her actions that she, Su Rongxing, didn’t need to be liked. She never told anyone that deep down, she was terrified...

"Back then, no matter how you stirred things up, you damaged property and hurt others. So what this time?" He continued, "You are ruining someone else’s marriage, who are you trying to hurt?"

She turned her tear-streaked face away. "What? Here to stand up for Tu Hengsha’s friend? I can’t do anything about Tu Hengsha, can I? I’ve already retreated, and it’s still not enough? Now you want to meddle with her friends? With her friend’s husband?"

"What kind of man Cui Pei is, I don’t care. What kind of marriage Fan Yue has, I don’t care either. I just want to ask if you yourself were hurt?"

Su Rongxing was quite surprised. "You’re not here to stand up for Fan Yue? Not here to stand up for Cui Pei?"

"Why would I stand up for Fan Yue?" He furrowed his brows deeply. "There’s nothing about a man like Cui Pei that deserves standing up for. Even standing on Tu Hengsha’s side, I’d only be glad that Fan Yue can see Cui Pei’s true colors sooner. Such a man and such a marriage are not worth defending! Better to break free and start anew sooner! Right now, I just want to know, how far have you and Cui Pei gone?"

Su Rongxing pursed her lips, not willing to speak.

His face darkened. "Did he touch you? Are you being foolish? Speak!"

Su Rongxing finally spoke up reluctantly. "Gave him a bit of sweetness, otherwise how would he trust me."

"What sweetness!"

"Why are you asking so much?" Su Rongxing grew impatient. "Just keep cherishing your Tu Hengsha! I can’t woo you, can’t retaliate against Tu Hengsha, can’t I go after her friend instead? Who told Cui Pei to be so easy to entice? I just don’t want Tu Hengsha to have everything go smoothly! Making her annoyed through Fan Yue is worth it!"

"I’m asking you, what sweetness!" he coldly questioned.
