"You're so scared that you're going to frame Xiaojuan?" Zheng Feng trembled with anger. "Do you know how badly Xiaojuan would have been framed if Comrade Su hadn't been there?"

Zheng Juan stood aside, watching all of this, her feelings a mix of emotions.

Zheng Feng looked at Zheng Juan, his eyes filled with self-reproach and heartache: "Xiao Juan, Dad is sorry. Dad should have believed you."

“Dad…” Zheng Juan’s eyes were filled with tears, “I’m fine.”

"Zheng Nana, apologize to Xiao Juan!"

Zheng Nana felt utterly ashamed. She lowered her head, her voice barely audible, "I...I'm sorry..."

"I can't hear you!" Zheng Feng shouted angrily.

"I'm sorry, little sister!" Zheng Nana raised her voice, tears streaming down her face.

Zheng Juan looked at her, feeling both angry and sad. She didn't speak, but simply nodded.

Seeing this, Zheng Feng continued, "An apology is enough? You almost caused your sister to be misunderstood by everyone. This kind of behavior must be punished."

He thought for a moment, then said, "Starting today, your living expenses for the next six months are canceled. I will give this money to your younger sister as compensation. In addition, I will give your older sister an extra year's living expenses to make amends to Xiao Juan."

"What?" Zheng Nana's eyes widened as she looked at her father in disbelief. "Dad, I...I know I was wrong, you can't do this..."

"You know you were wrong now? Why didn't you know you were wrong before?" Zheng Feng looked at her coldly. "Your behavior today has disappointed me greatly. This is a lesson. I hope you will behave yourself and get along well with your sister in the future."

Su Wantang watched this scene quietly from the side, nodding inwardly. This Zheng Feng is quite reasonable.

Zhao Jing held Zheng Juan's other hand and comforted her, "Child, your father handled it right. This kind of thing needs to be resolved, otherwise who knows what might happen in the future."

People around them were also talking about it:

"Comrade Zheng handled it correctly; this child has been spoiled."

“Zheng Juan seems so sensible; she didn’t cry or make a fuss even after suffering such a great injustice.”

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Zheng Nana felt even more ashamed. She ran crying to Zheng Feng, "Dad, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me? I'll never do it again..."

Zheng Feng looked at her, his disappointment undiminished: "Nana, it's not that Dad doesn't forgive you, but you have to bear the consequences of your mistakes. That's a basic principle of being a person."

"But... but I won't have any living expenses for six months, what am I going to do?" Zheng Nana cried even harder.

“You get a salary every month in the performing arts troupe,” Zheng Feng said firmly. “I spoiled you too much before, which is why you’ve become like this.”

"From now on, you should reflect on your actions!"

After saying that, Zheng Feng left with Zheng Juan.

The onlookers gradually dispersed.

Su Wantang turned and left.

Watching Su Wantang turn and leave, Zheng Nana's eyes were filled with hatred.

If it weren't for Su Wantang, her father wouldn't have treated her so coldly.

That damn bitch! She's ruined my plans time and time again!

She was determined to teach Su Wantang a lesson.

The Zheng family.

"Xiao Juan, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you about what happened today." Zheng Feng looked at Zheng Juan with remorse.

“Dad, I don’t blame you,” Zheng Juan said. “I hope that you can trust me from now on. No matter what happens, please choose to believe in me.”
