Ignoring what He Cuiyun was saying, Ni Sitian walked straight toward Ni Qianshan.

Ni Qianshan stood up and looked at her, showing no sign of admitting his mistake or repenting. He said defiantly, "Since you've heard everything, I don't need to pretend anymore. I'm your father. It's so hard for a father to ask his daughter for money. Don't you want to reflect on your own mistakes?"

Ni Sitian smiled, but tears flowed even more freely. This was her father, as if he could take advantage of her gratitude for being raised to demand everything she had now.

After graduating from high school, did he ever spend a single penny on her? Did he bring her into this world just to torment her?

“Ni Qianshan, from now on, we are no longer father and daughter. Consider the 200,000 yuan you swindled as repayment of your upbringing expenses. Don’t look for me again, and I will never call you Dad again.” Ni Sitian wiped away her tears haphazardly, her voice hoarse yet firm and resolute as she announced.

Ni Qianshan really didn't expect Ni Sitian to be so resolute this time, saying such words of severing all ties.

“Dad, look at her saying such a thing!” Ni Ziqi grabbed Ni Qianshan’s arm, trying to provoke and accuse him again.

Ni Qianshan looked at Ni Sitian with a sullen face. He didn't believe she could really sever her father-daughter relationship. She didn't know she wasn't his biological daughter. But for now, he wanted to appease her to prevent her from complaining to Xu Tingchuan. So he said, "Sitian, I was wrong to lie to you like this, but the company is indeed facing a cash flow crisis right now."

Ni Sitian's tears slowly stopped, and her laughter gradually ceased. She stared at him coldly and blankly.

She would never have any feelings for Ni Qianshan again; all the father-daughter affection had been exhausted in this scam.

"Sitian, don't be impulsive. How can you sever the father-daughter relationship so easily?" He Cuiyun didn't want to let go of an ATM, so she gently advised.

“Yes, besides, 200,000 isn’t enough,” Ni Ziqi chimed in.

"Hehe, okay, I'll go back and make a list. Based on these salary ratios, I won't shortchange you a single penny." Ni Sitian sniffed and said resolutely to Ni Qianshan.

Once she finished speaking, she didn't want to stay there any longer and turned around to walk quickly out of the ward.

"Old Ni, what should we do?" He Cuiyun asked worriedly.

"I don't believe she can just cut ties like that. The Xu family is a respectable family. Even if it goes to court, she won't be in the right!" Ni Qianshan angrily pulled out the IV drip from his body. He had been receiving glucose for several days, so he didn't need to act anymore and didn't need to hold back.

"Don't get angry. You're right. If this goes to court, she might be ordered to pay alimony," He Cuiyun said, patting Ni Qianshan's chest to comfort him.

After leaving the hospital, Ni Sitian took a taxi home; her heart had completely turned cold.

Actually, there are some doubts about Ni Qianshan's claim of having uremia. It's just that she was too trusting that a father would fake a serious illness to swindle money from his daughter. Such a bizarre thing just happened to happen to her.

When she got home, she first washed her face, then went into her study and turned on her computer.

Just as she said, based on the rate of increase in prices and wages over the years.

All the money Ni Qianshan spent up to high school, including the rent for living in that house, would amount to 270,000 yuan if converted to current prices.

Her mother had once burned down the house, and the cost of rebuilding it was 360,000 yuan, bringing the total to 630,000 yuan. To avoid any complaints from Ni Qianshan, she rounded it up to 700,000 yuan, and she wouldn't shortchange him a single penny.
