Xie Changhe was furious with his son; "Listen to what you're saying! What did she do to offend you this time?"

"Then you should ask your lover. She was the one who had someone drug me first. I just fed her the drug. You know, you reap what you sow?"

Xie Changhe felt exhausted; how could these two never stop causing trouble?

"Next time, tell me first if anything happens. Don't do illegal retaliatory things all the time, or one day your dad will be brought down by the two of you."

"If it were any use talking to you, would I have been drugged by your lover, and would my mother have left this world? Don't joke with me like that. I'm way past the age of taking jokes seriously."

Xie Changhe: "......."

It seems like this is something I'll never get over.

He sighed and said, "Xie Feng, I don't care what you think now, but be more polite to your Aunt Zhang in the future. If something like this happens again, tell me, and I'll give her a talking-to. Don't be so impulsive."

"Xie Changhe, you are not qualified to tell me what to do."

After saying that, Xie Feng walked out of the study and left the house.

Xie Changhe left the study and, upon seeing Zhang Ailing, slapped her across the face without saying a word.

Although his son disappointed him, his wife's continued lack of understanding over the years disappointed him even more.

“Zhang Ailing, did I ever say that you are not allowed to touch my son? Can’t you understand human language? Starting today, your nephew’s medical expenses will be halved, and you will pay the other half yourselves. If I find out that you are targeting him again, then we will get a divorce.”

After being slapped and hearing the man's cold and heartless words, Eileen Chang felt an intense hatred welling up inside her.

"Changhe, I...I am not me..."

"Alright, we both know whether you're right or wrong. You don't need to pretend in front of me anymore. I'm warning you, if you do it again, you can go back home!"

This man has changed ever since Xie Feng returned to this house.

He used to put her first in everything, but now he makes all sorts of sarcastic remarks about her, and blames her for the slightest thing that happens to his son.

It's absolutely impossible for her to let Xie Feng go unless she dies. If it weren't for him, her child would be quite grown up by now.

After Li Fang finished eating the fruit, she was almost fully recovered.

Meanwhile, Yuan Shuo and Li Qin, who were far away in the Northeast, received a letter from their daughter, but the letter did not mention what had happened to her.

But it was clear that the daughter who wrote the letter was very panicked and scared, urging them to come over as soon as possible, saying that she was about to die.

Upon receiving the letter, the two immediately took leave and rushed to Beijing.

After a few days by train, Yuan Shuo brought Li Qin to the place he had previously rented for his daughter.

As a result, they saw Deng Fangyuan at Su Jiaojiao's doorstep, the two of them hugging each other, behaving very intimately.

When Li Qin and Yuan Shuo saw this scene, they felt their heads throb.

Without a second thought, Yuan Shuo stepped forward and separated the two. Li Qin then slapped Su Jiaojiao several times across the face, saying, "You bitch, how dare you steal my daughter's boyfriend! I'll beat you to death today!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Su Jiaojiao's hair and slapped her repeatedly.

"Ah! Ah!........"

The yard was filled with Su Jiaojiao's screams, which soon attracted a group of neighbors to watch.

Yuan Shuo didn't hold back either. Since Deng Fangyuan dared to cheat on his daughter, he punched him twice in the face.

After finishing the fight, Yuan Shuo looked at Deng Fangyuan angrily and said, "Why did you two get together? How can you do this to my Xiaofang?"

Deng Fangyuan was also very angry; "I've already broken up with your daughter, and she was the one who brought it up first."

Yuan Shuo was somewhat skeptical; he knew very well what his daughter was like.

She wouldn't have broken up with him if he hadn't done anything to wrong her daughter. After all, she liked Deng Fangyuan so much; anyone with eyes could see that. She even came to Beijing for him.

Yuan Shuo said angrily, "Why did she break up with you? Did she find out you were having an affair with Su Jiaojiao?"

Su Jiaojiao looked up when she heard her name called, her face already scratched raw by Li Qin.

She said bitterly, "It's because your daughter didn't respect herself and got that kind of dirty disease that she broke up with Fang Yuan. You can ask these aunties if you don't believe me."

"You're talking nonsense. My daughter isn't the kind of person you're describing. Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? Stop making baseless accusations," Li Qin retorted.

Some of the older women who were watching nearby also saw the red rash on Li Fang's face that day.

An older woman in the crowd couldn't help but say, "Yes! Your daughter had those red rashes from that disease on her face back then, everyone saw it."

Someone chimed in, "Yes! I saw it too, it's terrifying. My doctor friend also said that those red rashes are easily contracted by people who frequently go out with men."

Seeing the incredulous looks on their faces, Deng Fangyuan finally raised his eyebrows and said triumphantly, "Did you hear that? It's not that I let her down, it's that she let me down."

Yuan Shuo still didn't believe it; he knew very well what his daughter was like.

He admitted that his daughter was somewhat spoiled and unable to distinguish right from wrong, but it was absolutely impossible for her to do such a thing.

"I don't want to hear your side of the story. Where is my daughter? Where is she now?"

Su Jiaojiao looked at the two of them. Although her face was swollen like a pig's head, she still smiled smugly and said, "Her? She got that kind of dirty disease and was kicked out. I wonder where she is begging for food now."

Upon hearing this, Li Qin, thinking that her daughter had nowhere to go, rushed up to Su Jiaojiao and slapped her twice.

"You bitch, you're the one who orchestrated all of this! Nothing good ever comes from where you are. You're a menace, and anyone who gets involved with you is like someone who's been smeared with shit."

Seeing Li Qin's anxious look, Yuan Shuo glared at Su Jiaojiao before grabbing her and saying, "I left money for my daughter when I left, so she shouldn't be homeless. I guess she's probably at some guesthouse. Let's go to each guesthouse and we'll definitely find her."

Hearing this, Deng Fangyuan felt a little guilty, after all, all of Li Fang's money was with him.

But he didn't say anything, and Su Jiaojiao didn't expose him either.

Yuan Shuo and Li Qin didn't have time to waste here; finding their daughter was the most important thing right now.

Before leaving, Yuan Shuo looked at Su Jiaojiao and said, "I really regret helping you before. I never thought you were such a disgusting person."

He had taken care of her for so long, only to end up with an ungrateful wretch. He was truly filled with hatred.

As soon as the two stepped out of the yard, they saw their daughter. Li Qin hugged her tightly and said, "Xiao Fang, what happened to you? Do you know how scared I was when I received your letter?"
