Unfortunately, Shen Hanxing did not even look at Shen Sisi. She walked to the sofa that was not ruined and sat down. She wore a long purple dress today, revealing her slender swan neck and delicate collarbone. She was bright and moving, and her every move was indescribably beautiful.
Shen Sisi was standing on the second floor, looking down at Shen Hanxing. But at this moment, she suddenly felt that Shen Hanxing was the one who was high and mighty, unattainable. That realization made Shen Sisi’s expression instantly turn ugly. She bit her lip and raged, “Shen Hanxing, don’t pretend to be deaf and dumb. I’m talking to you!” Shen Sisi strode down the stairs as she shouted. She subconsciously wanted to grab Shen Hanxing’s arm.
Before Shen Sisi got close, Shen Yong grabbed Shen Sisi’s wrist and said coldly, “Enough. Do you think you have not embarrassed yourself enough?”
“You think I’m embarrassing?” Shen Sisi’s eyes were burning with jealousy and anger. She sneered. “You want to acknowledge her as your daughter now, don’t you? But do you think Shen Hanxing is willing to acknowledge you as her father?”
Slap! Shen Yong raised his hand and slapped her. He shouted angrily, “How can you talk to me like that? I worked hard to raise you, not to let you talk back to me!”
“Sisi, don’t make your daddy angry,” Shen Sisi wanted to speak but was quickly stopped by Qiao Wei. Qiao Wei gave Shen Sisi a look as she said, “Sisi, your daddy is doing this for your good. Don’t be so insensible.”
Shen Sisi pursed her lips and sat on the sofa without making a sound. Seeing Shen Sisi’s honest appearance, the anger on Shen Yong’s face dissipated a little. He then chose a sofa that was not dirty and sat down. The servants came forward to clean up the messy floor. They were scolded coldly by Shen Yong. “There’s no need for you here. All of you, stay away!”
The maids did not dare to say anything more and left obediently. Seeing this scene, Shen Hanxing placed her wrist on her knee and covered the curve of her lips with one hand. What did Shen Yong have to say to her? She wanted to see how shameless Shen Yong could be.
Shen Yong did not know what Shen Hanxing was thinking. After deliberating for a moment, he said with a gentle expression, “Hanxing, don’t tell me you still want to stay away from your family?” His words sounded like Shen Hanxing was throwing a tantrum.
Shen Hanxing smirked and said calmly, “I’m doing well with Grandma. I get along well with Mr. Ji and the younger brothers and sisters of the Ji family. Why would I need to throw my tantrums?” Was the Shen family worthy of being called a family? In Shen Hanxing’s eyes, the place where Grandma used to be was her home. Now, her family had Ji Yan and the younger brothers and sisters of the Ji family. However, the Shen family was never her family.
Hearing that Shen Hanxing was pretending to be ignorant, Shen Yong’s face turned a little gloomy. However, his expression instantly changed to helplessness. He sighed and said, “Hanxing, I know you’re still angry with me. I admit that I didn’t fulfill my responsibility as a father before. I want to make it up to you properly. Can’t you give me a chance?”
“When Grandma is seriously ill, I can’t afford the medical expenses. I knelt at the door of the Shen family house, but Mr. Shen didn’t want to make it up to me. When I had to quit school because of financial pressure and to pay off my debts. Mr. Shen didn’t think of making it up to me. When I was young, I didn’t have enough to eat. I was so hungry that I bit the quilt in the middle of the night. Mr. Shen didn’t think of making it up to me. I couldn’t wear warm clothes in winter, and I was shivering in the cold wind. Mr. Shen didn’t think of making it up to me either.” Shen Hanxing looked at Shen Yong and sneered. “Now I have nothing to worry about. I’m successful in school, my career is fruitful, and my love is complete. Do you want to make it up to me now?” Was this making it up to her, or did he want to get something out of her? When she was miserable, Shen Yong turned a blind eye. Now that she was doing well, Shen Yong tried to get close to her.
Shen Sisi lowered her eyes, and there was a hint of mockery in her eyes. Her father was asking for it.
Shen Yong froze, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. He was a father. To him, as long as he waved his hand, Shen Hanxing would be grateful and run over in a flattered manner. He did not expect her to mock him like now and humiliate him.
Shen Yong sorted out his expression and suppressed his anger. “Daddy knows Daddy has failed to do Daddy’s duty, but life is still long. Hanxing, are you going to keep hating and refusing to forgive Daddy?”
