After finishing hitting Xu Yatong, Shen Jingyan didn't leave immediately. Instead, she glared at her coldly with a mocking smile on her lips.

Xu Yatong covered her swollen face, glaring at her through gritted teeth.

She really wanted to rush up to Xu Honglin right now so that he could see the injuries on her face and see the true face of this lovely and considerate daughter.

But once she returned, her plan to threaten Xu Honglin by threatening to run away from home failed.

But she was unwilling to accept being beaten for nothing, so she slunk away.

Just as she was struggling with her conflicting thoughts, Shen Jingyan spoke up.

"I know everything you're thinking, but what you're thinking will never become reality."

Xu Yatong shuddered, as if those wise and clear eyes had seen right through her.

“My father is also your father. He has three daughters. That’s a fact. No matter how much you make a fuss, act pitiful, or reject me and Feifei, you can’t break up this happy family.”

He said calmly, "You either choose to join us and get along well with me, Feifei, Mom, and Grandpa, or you leave on your own. You want Dad to be your dad alone? Dream on."

Hsu Ya-Tung was furious and embarrassed when her secret was exposed.

"What right do you have to lecture me? You're just a bastard! You and Xu Yafei are both robbers! Only I am Daddy's daughter—"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Jingyan grabbed her hair and forced her to tilt her head back.

Shen Jingyan slapped her face, which was already covered in finger marks, without any mercy.

“This slap is on behalf of your father. Just because he never hit you doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be hit.”

Xu Yatong struggled a few times like a dog paddling, but was kicked in the back of the knee by Shen Jingyan and knelt on one knee.

She received another slap across the face.

“This slap was given on behalf of my mother. You have insulted her character time and time again. She didn’t hit you because you are her elder.”

Xu Yatong's gaze was practically murderous, and Shen Jingyan raised her hand for the third time.

She was so frightened that she reflexively shrank her neck and shoulders.

“Xu Yatong, let me tell you, I have neither my mother’s tolerance and generosity nor Feifei’s kindness. I won’t kill you because you are my father’s biological daughter. But if you dare to cause trouble again and make this family a mess, I will make you wish you were dead. Seeing me will be like seeing a demon from hell.”

Chen Jing spoke with utmost seriousness, and Xu Yatong was already trembling with fear.

Shen Jingyan smiled dismissively and released her hair.

"So think it through. If you want to stay in this house, behave yourself. Otherwise, get out of here, get out of my sight."

After uttering these harsh words, she turned and left.

A cold wind blew by, and Xu Yatong, in the darkness, had already been soaked in cold sweat.

In her numerous encounters with Shen Jingyan, whether it was arguing or fighting, she always ended up losing.

Ever since this girl appeared, he has been going against her at every turn.

She was so rude and unreasonable, splashing egg drop soup on her head, causing her to fall down the stairs, and beating her until she was covered in bruises, yet no one thought she was insidious and vicious.

She is, on the contrary, everyone's darling, and everyone loves her.

Why? Why?!

If she just leaves like this, will her father listen to Shen Jingyan and let her stay away from home without ever coming back to find her?

What's the point of her running away from home then?

Shen Jingyan returned to the living room, and Feifei leaned over and whispered:

"Sister Jingya, what did you say to her?"

Shen Jingyan smiled and said, "Give her a few words of advice."

Then he waved his hands a few times.

Feifei understood immediately and covered her mouth, letting out a couple of chuckles.

Since Shen Jingyan taught her that kindness should be reserved for those who deserve it, she stopped trying to be kind to Xu Yatong.

By not putting herself in Xu Yatong's shoes and not sympathizing with her plight, Feifei found herself much more at ease.

When she was little, she always felt guilty in front of Xu Yatong, as if she had "stole" someone else's father, so she always tried to please Xu Yatong carefully.

However, her sincerity and kindness did not earn her Xu Yatong's genuine affection; instead, she received increasingly vengeful treatment day after day.

She used to tolerate it, even when Xu Yatong pushed her into the water and she almost drowned, she was unwilling to tell her parents.

After Shen Jingyan taught Xu Yatong a lesson a few times, Feifei realized that she couldn't just bring happiness to others while swallowing her own grievances.

Seeing Xu Yatong being taught a lesson, she felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Since warming hands can't warm a wicked heart, why bother going to all that trouble?

Therefore, she would not hesitate to join in the ridicule of Hsu Ya-Tung now.

Before they knew it, it was already eight o'clock. Gu Zhiyun stood up and said to Grandpa Xu, "Grandpa, it's getting late. Jingya and I start school tomorrow, so we'll go home first."

He then very politely said to Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin:

"Dad, Mom, we're leaving now. I'll bring Jingya over for dinner tomorrow since I don't have much class time."

His words, "Dad, Mom," filled Xu Honglin and Qiao Suxin with joy.

Chen Jingyan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and looked up at Gu Zhiyun's handsome and cultured face.

Unexpectedly, he so naturally labeled himself as "Xu's son-in-law".

After saying goodbye to the Xu family and the Shen Honggang family, Gu Zhiyun took Shen Jingyan's hand and left.
