Xunmi clutched the man's sleeves tightly. She lowered her head and breathed softly, as if she was out of this space.
It was so quiet that even the wind could be heard. She did not even dare to breathe.
Xiao Huada regretted it after he spoke.
But it was a habit formed over the years. Even if he told himself to bear with it, he still could not control himself.
Xiao Jiali saw that something was wrong. She immediately turned to Xunmi and cried.
"Sister, sister, did you know that a lot has happened in the past two days? Father's hair has turned white."
"He's old. Please don't anger him like this. I'm begging you."
She did not expect that a moment ago, the person in front of her was begging her weakly. Now, she was the one begging her.
But other than enduring, she could only endure.
Xunmi let go of the man's sleeves. She brushed the hair away from her face and looked at the person in front of her.
Her voice was calm. "I don't know what happened in the past two days and I don't want to know."
"You keep telling me not to do this to the Xiao family. What did I do?"
"And, Father … Master Xiao, I never wanted to anger them. But we are strangers now. There's no need to be angry."
She stopped herself from saying 'father', as if she was really going to draw a line between them.
She had a temper too. She could get angry. She took a deep breath and continued.
"I'm still wondering why someone who never takes the initiative to contact me would contact me twice a day."
"You think that now that I'm with Yi Tuan, my status is different and my value is different. So you came to find me because I can be used again, right?"
This was the first time she had revealed her sharp side. The anger on her face had completely exploded. Even her pair of lifeless eyes seemed to have become much brighter at this moment.
Even the most obedient cat had claws. Once they reached out, they would either hurt others or hurt themselves.
Xiao Jiali and Xiao Huada swallowed, not knowing how to respond.
They had planned to do so. If she had not changed, would they have to kneel to her?
Yet, they still had to beg her to let the Xiao Family off. They weren't crazy.
But now that someone had said it so bluntly, he was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Tian Lan hadn't said a word since she came in. She stood in the corner with an expressionless face. No one could guess what she was thinking.
His eyes were unfocused and he didn't know where they were.
However, no one paid any attention to her because they were already disgusted by the two Xiao family members.
If there was value, they would come. If there was no value, they would ruthlessly trample on them. This family's worldview was really shattered beyond repair.
"Xiao Xunmi, do you still see me as your father?"
Xiao Huada's face was burning. Being stared at by the surrounding people, the fire in his chest continued to expand.
A group of lowly commoners actually dared to look at him like that.
His eyes were filled with killing intent. He had even forgotten that the other party no longer addressed him as father, yet he still asked this question. Wasn't he being too confident in himself?
XunMi sneered and stood up. Yi Tuan hurriedly supported her as they walked step by step towards where Xiao Huada was speaking.
When they were almost there, they stopped. All their tolerance turned into bone-chilling coldness.
"Patriarch Xiao, do you not understand my words? You call yourself my father, but have you ever fulfilled the duties of a father?"
"Coldly watching from the sidelines? Maliciously ignoring me? Forcefully stripping me of my reputation? Or trying to destroy me at all costs? "
"Do you know? Many times, I actually think that I'm definitely not your biological child."
"In some unknown place, my biological parents must be waiting for me. But it's a pity that we lost each other."
"Ever since Teacher died, this thought has supported me until now."
She held the man's broad hand. That warm touch made her reluctant to let go.
"I'm very grateful to you. Because of your heartlessness, I met him. Thank you."
She tilted her head to look at the man so close to her. Even though she couldn't see him, he felt like he was clearly in her eyes.
"Ah Yan, please ask them to leave. I don't want to ask anymore. I'm tired, I want to sleep."
She didn't know if the original owner had gotten the answer she wanted, or if she had completely given up. Her emotions had all dissipated in that moment.
In that case, there was no need to vent. When the time came, she would deal with them directly.
She had evidence of the Xiao family's oil field, the Xiao family company's tax evasion, and the packaging of expired food.
She just had to wait for the right time to run out. Then the Xiao family would never be able to rise again.
"Xiao Xunmi, you unfilial daughter." Xiao Huada's chest hurt from anger. He panted heavily.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiali hurriedly got up from the ground and ran to Xiao Huada's side, patting his chest anxiously.
She blamed Xunmi. "Sister, how can you be so evil? Father is old and can't take any provocation."
What if Xiao Huada died? The Xiao family was hers. She had to ensure that Xiao Huada lived well.
If Xiao Huada knew that the daughter he had always protected was thinking like this, he would probably vomit blood.
Xunmi was incomparably glad that she had wisely not used her mental strength.
Otherwise, she would have vomited after seeing this disgusting scene.
She turned around, ignoring the two. Grabbing Little White's head, she walked forward.
Yi Tuan hurried over, scooped her up and carried her upstairs, saying, "Wait."
After sending her into the room, he watched as the white thing naturally climbed onto his wife's bed. Yi Tuan's face almost twisted.
Just wait, just wait. Sooner or later, he would send this guy away!!!
After a few more words, he turned to leave. He felt that if he didn't leave now, he would beat that thing to death.
After the two left, the comments exploded again.
"Oh my god, I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people."
"It's so lucky that the goddess didn't go astray in such a family."
"The goddess has such a good character. Even after being insulted like that, she just angrily asked a few questions. So kind."
"If I were the goddess, I would have exploded on the spot. This family is shameless beyond belief."
By the time Yi Tuan came down, the pop-up window had refreshed twice.
He strode to the single sofa in the living room and sat down. Placing his hands on both sides of the armrest, his sharp eyes stared straight at the two who were still acting like a loving father and filial daughter.
"I only have one question. If I'm satisfied with your answer, I might just let you go."
Xiao Huada and Xiao Jiali instantly stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes to the man in front of them.
He sat there calmly, and the aura he exuded was like that of an emperor overlooking the world.
