Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Enemies Chapter 518: Chapter 518 Enemies “Bai Xiao, how can you not acknowledge me as your father? I am your dad. Is it because you still haven’t forgiven me? What do I need to do for you to forgive me? If I kneel down and kowtow to you in public, would that suffice?” Shang Feng became desperate, challenging Bai Xiao to actually prevent him from kneeling.
He was not afraid that public opinion would turn against him; to forge a connection with the An Family, he was willing to pay any price.
“What now? Are you trying to force me?”
Bai Xiao was truly annoyed. She wanted to deal with Shang Kaiwen, but she hadn’t anticipated that Shang Feng would be so persistent, never expecting this hidden plot twist.
“Bai Xiao, you are angry with me, I will kneel down and apologize to you and your mom!” Shang Feng said, about to kneel.
Bai Xiao pointed at a few people responsible for taking photos! These were An Zhiyuan’s friends who had brought their own cameras specifically to take photos of the couple to keep as mementos.
“Could you please take a few more shots, and make sure to get good angles. Mr. Shang’s expression must be captured genuinely, so it’s clear when it appears in the newspapers,” she said calmly.
Shang Kaiwen pretended to be overcome with grief and grabbed Bai Xiao, “Sister, how can you treat Dad like this? Even if he has made mistakes! But he wants to make amends! He has been looking for you all these years. After all, he is our father.”
If Shang Feng actually knelt down, it would be a disgrace to the Shang Family.
A man grabbed Shang Kaiwen abruptly, “Don’t waste words on such a cold-hearted and ruthless woman. Can’t you see? She looks down on you. Have you not realized how Bai Xiao, now a doctor, has climbed up the social ladder? Why would she care about so-called father-daughter affection now? A woman like her will do anything for her own advancement. By acknowledging you now, she would be labeled a bastard. You think she would want that when she’s riding high on success? Who would voluntarily smear themselves.”
Bai Xiao looked at the man with a smile and stayed silent, as all that was bound to happen was gradually unfolding! This was none other than the well-known Wang Ruo’an from Capital City’s Four Young Masters, and also one of Shang Kaiwen’s most loyal fans in her previous life, adoring her for many years and daring to do anything for her.
It remained a mystery why Shang Kaiwen did not marry Wang Ruo’an in her previous life.
This lifetime, he has emerged out of nowhere.
Look at the defense and concern, it’s clear as day.
An Zhiyuan pushed Wang Ruo’an away and stepped in front of Bai Xiao, “Wang Ruo’an, you’re right, and I’ll say it too. Bai Xiao is my wife, and I won’t allow her to associate herself with just any messy people, especially this so-called long-lost father-daughter affection that has suddenly emerged.
“Back when my wife was bullied in the village, starving and without proper clothing, where was Shang Feng? Wasn’t that when father-daughter affection should have shown? Now he comes out acting like the big bad wolf! Moreover, who knows the true story behind all this? The dead are gone. Uncle Shang suddenly claims a past relation—how can anyone prove that?
“There’s no DNA test for recognizing a father; what if someone else shows up in a few days claiming to be Bai Xiao’s real dad? What would we become then? Besides, Uncle Shang never provided a single grain of rice or food for Bai Xiao, so why should he claim a full-grown person now? What rights does he have to acknowledge her?
“If he truly feels guilty and sorry for Bai Xiao, wouldn’t the right thing to do be to watch her live a good life quietly, without causing her any trouble? But look at what you’re doing now. Wouldn’t everyone think Bai Xiao is being unreasonable and thus damaging Dr. Bai’s reputation? Does this seem like something a father would do? To me, it looks more like the actions of an enemy.”
