At the dinner table, upon hearing others say that Tantai Qing quit smoking to pursue Jiang Jifan, a friend looked incredulous and bewildered. Faced with everyone's questions, he nonchalantly re...

0131 Father (Second Update)

0131 Father (Second Update)

A man in an expensive suit sat in an elegant Chinese restaurant, glancing at his watch every now and then, his expression visibly anxious.

His assistant, who was standing to the side, stepped forward to ask if he needed to urge the person who had arrived. He shook his head and refused, saying, "No need, I'll wait a little longer."

About ten minutes later, the sound of high heels walking became clearer and clearer. The man was delighted and put on a smile he had prepared in advance.

Just a few steps from their destination, Jiang Jifan suddenly stopped, staring at the already open door of the private room with a gloomy expression, lost in thought.

Only when she heard a man's questioning voice coming from inside did she quietly take a deep breath and step closer.

"They're here," the assistant, with keen hearing, announced.

The man immediately stood up. Upon seeing the tall girl entering from outside, he was extremely excited, an uncontrollable smile spreading across his face as he affectionately called out, "Jifan!"

Jiang Jifan stood there, looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, a hint of undisguised disgust flashing in his eyes.

"How dare you come to me?" Her face was tense, her voice as cold as ice, forcibly suppressing her anger, as if she was about to explode at any moment.

Unexpectedly, her first words were like this. The man stood there stunned for a moment before stepping forward and gently explaining to her, "Jifan, Dad just wanted to come and see you."

She seemed utterly disgusted by his approach. As he stepped forward, she immediately took a few steps back and snapped, "Shut up!"

"I don't have a father! My father died a long time ago!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored his stiff expression and immediately turned and left.

Jiang Qiyuan quickly caught up with her, grabbed her hand, and pleaded, "Jifan, please let Dad explain..."

"Explain?" Jiang Jifan turned around and shook off his hand, his eyes sharp and his expression contemptuous. "Explain what? Explain how you abandoned us, mother and daughters, to wander the world with that bitch, make a fortune, and even have a good son?!"

Prior to this, she had already learned about his life over the past twenty years from his assistant.

When Jiang Jifan heard that her father, whom she had thought had "died for many years," had suddenly appeared and asked to meet her, her first reaction was shock, followed by uncontrollable rage.

She agreed to come to see what tricks he was up to, but she overestimated her patience.

The moment she saw that hypocritical and heartless face, she wanted nothing more than to slash it to pieces!

Jiang Qiyuan looked anxious and helpless, and said in a gentle voice, "Jifan, you've misunderstood your father. Listen to me..."

"Jiang Qiyuan, shut up!" Jiang Jifan raised his hand and angrily pointed at his brow, his handsome face contorted uncontrollably, his voice booming like thunder, the last word almost cracking: "A selfish and heartless scoundrel like you should have gone to hell more than twenty years ago! What? Did you suddenly have a change of heart after being dead for more than twenty years?"

She sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think everyone in the world is lining up for you to be their savior? If you have so much free time, you might as well have your assistant buy you a set of funeral clothes. You can wash them and sleep in them tonight!"

"Don't try to bring me bad luck!"

Jiang Qiyuan was rooted to the spot by her words, his face turned pale, and he was powerless to fight back.

After Jiang Jifan left, his assistant quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Chairman!"

Jiang Qiyuan kept repeating her hurtful words in his mind, clutching his chest as if he couldn't breathe, his lips trembling.

Jiang Jiwang had just returned home when he saw the family doctor carrying a medical kit coming out of his parents' room.

"Assistant Lin already told me why you went to see her today. So, Jiang Qiyuan, after more than twenty years, you still can't let go of that mother and her two daughters, huh?!"

He had just reached the door of the room when he heard his parents arguing inside, and he stopped in his tracks.

"That's my daughter. What's it to you if I go see her?"

"All you ever say is 'daughter, daughter'! Do you think she cares about your kindness? Now look what's happened, she got sick from all the anger after just one meeting..."

Jiang Jiwang was stunned, frozen in place, his face filled with disbelief.

A mother and her two daughters? Daughters?

What are they talking about...?

I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

He turned around and looked.

"Assistant Lin..."

Lin Pingyan met his shocked and puzzled gaze and sighed helplessly.
