Chapter 903: He Stood Her Up (1)
Although Papa Su had already prepared what he wanted to say, he still didn’t know how to go about saying it as he faced Yin Shaojie.
His hands were on the table, and he anxiously rubbed his hands.
“Shaojie…” There was a long silence, and he finally managed to say it. “You know about Linlin’s feelings for you, right?”
Yin Shaojie nodded slightly, treating his elder with due respect, he said tepidly, “I know. But, I’m very sorry, Uncle Su. Su Lin and I…”
“I know. Of course I know. You are now engaged with Xiaoxiao. Actually, I shouldn’t be bothering you. It’s just that, because of you, Linlin…” Papa Su sighed, and he came clean about Su Lin’s condition.
Yin Shaojie didn’t appear shocked.
Papa Su was surprised, “Do you already know?”
“I only found out about it recently,” Yin Shaojie replied honestly.
Papa Su sighed and said, “She was resentful toward me, saying that I didn’t even let her tell you about it before taking her to America.”
Yin Shaojie paused for a moment, and he said to him, “Uncle Su, I think you are mistaken. I have never dated Su Lin.”
Papa Su was stunned. “You… Weren’t you two dating for a period of time? I still remember that Linlin was very happy every day in that period. And she even told us that you two were together.”
So how could they not have dated!
Yin Shaojie didn’t want to waste time, so he said straightforwardly, “This is what happened. There was one time when I met with some accident and it was Su Lin who helped me. Later, I agreed to hang out with her for a few days, but I didn’t expect that she would treat it as though we were dating.”
Papa Su stared blankly. “So that’s what happened… But, if you knew that she liked you, why would you agree to a request like this?”
Yin Shaojie admitted that he was wrong. “You’re right. It was thoughtless of me.”
By spending time together with someone, one knew whether they were compatible with the other person.
He thought that by letting Su Lin realize that he would never like her, she would give up. But little did he know it would only make it worse.
This was one of his miscalculations.
Papa Su sighed. “What’s done is done. What’s most important now is how we solve it. There is something I think I should tell you.”
At that moment, Papa Su’s expression turned grave.
Yin Shaojie looked at him and nodded. “Please tell. I also wish to resolve this problem.”
Papa Su covered his face with his hands, and he said solemnly. “Do you know… why Linlin became like this?”
“Did something happen?” Yin Shaojie had also questioned if something had happened to Su Lin that led to her to having a mental disorder.
There seemed to be pain in Papa Su’s eyes. “It was during… the period when Su Lin thought you two were dating. One night, she said that she had a date with you, but you couldn’t make it. When she called back… she cried so miserably and said that she was… raped.”
He said the last few words with great difficulty, his eyes turning red immediately after.
Yin Shaojie was jolted, and his pupils enlarged, “How did…”
Papa Su said gravely, “It’s true. I’m not lying to you.”
“No, I didn’t say that I don’t believe you. It’s just… Why?” Yin Shaojie’s expression was complicated. How could he not have guessed? There was no sign of it so he didn’t even think about it.
Looking anguished, it was apparent that Papa Su didn’t want to recall this incident.
