Shen Xiangshan looked at Shen Ping with a complicated expression, "I have indeed failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father over the years, but I never think that I am biased. I just didn't teach you well."
If he had taught her well when she was still young, and had not put most of his energy on work and other things, perhaps she would be as obedient as Manman now.
Shen Ping only felt sad and bitter in her heart, mixed with pain.
"You really didn't teach me well. Others have parents who teach them, but I'm the only one whose biological mother died. My biological father got married and became my stepfather. He never took care of me or taught me."
"It's you who caused me to look like the person you don't like."
Even Shen Man, whom she disliked the most, had always been loved by Yang Fang.
Even when she was still young, Yang Fang began to pave the way for her, taught her various things, and spent a lot of money on her.
If she hadn't come back, Shen Man would have been destined to take a path to great heights, to have a man who loved her, to have countless wealth, and to become the envied husband of the richest man.
Even though she is old, she is still calm, elegant and beautiful.
This is the path Yang Fang paved for her.
As a girl who had never been taught by her mother or cared for by her father, she was destined to be her foil.
Although Shang 꽭 gave her a chance to start over, he still preferred Shen Man.
Lu Zhengguo, who was obviously supposed to be sacrificed, actually came back, and in less than a month, he fell in love with Shen Man.
Then what about the suffering she had endured as a widow in her previous life, and what about her eloping with the scumbag regardless of everything?
It was obvious that in her previous life, if she had waited a little longer in the Lu family, Lu Zhengguo would have come back and she would have become a high-ranking military officer's husband.
But one wrong step will lead to all wrong steps.
However, she eloped with the scumbag the day before Lu Zhengguo came back.
Shen Ping thought back to the first half of her life and realized that she was always a little less lucky than Shen Man.
Thinking of this, her hatred for Shen Man deepened, and she glared at her viciously, trying to hide her ill will towards her.
"Shen Man, it's all your fault, it's all you and your mother. If your mother hadn't entered our Shen family, I wouldn't be like this."
If the woman who married her father was just an ordinary woman, she would focus on housework and children and would not know how to do anything else and would not want to do anything else.
How great that would be.
In this way, there would not be a Shen Man who would always steal the limelight from her and make her look inferior to him.
Shen Man glanced at Shen Xiangshan who had been silent, and then looked at Shen Ping who wanted to kill her, and she couldn't help laughing.
"No, Shen Ping, you are wrong. Dad is indeed good to me, but he is also good to you."
"If you really can't figure it out, why don't you explain it to her, Dad? You can't just put the blame on me."
Shen Xiangshan's body stiffened and he subconsciously looked up at Shen Man.
When he saw the seriousness in her eyes, he realized that the child probably knew it all along, but had never said it out loud for the sake of this family, her mother, and Mingchuan.
Thinking of this, his face turned slightly pale and his fingers tightly grasped the hem of his clothes.
"Manman, do you know everything?"
Shen Man nodded, "Yes, I understand."
She had guessed it when she first proposed divorce to Lu Zhengguo.
He said that Shen Ping had an alibi for what happened four years ago, and the other members of the Shen family would not harm her.
Actually, it is not like that.
Only after the incident did someone help her cover it up, and in the entire Shen family, only Shen Xiangshan could help Shen Ping keep it secret.
Whoever made her unpopular was his own daughter.
As for her stepdaughter, he certainly loved her, but things had already happened, and between the two daughters, Shen Xiangshan would always favor one.
Shen Xiangshan's lips moved up and down, and guilt surged in his heart.
"Manman, Dad is sorry for what happened to you."
"It's Dad...I didn't teach your sister well."
Shen Ping looked at Shen Xiangshan suddenly, "What do you mean? Why don't I understand?"
"What do you mean you're sorry to Shen Man? Haven't you been good enough to her since childhood? Why should I apologize to you?"
She seemed to have guessed something, and rushed forward, tightly grasping Shen Xiangshan's sleeve, "Aren't you partial to Shen Man the most and hate me the most? I don't believe you will help me at all."
Shen Man spoke lightly.
"Yeah, I can't figure it out either. When Lu Zhengguo was investigating the truth, why would there be someone in your family who deliberately helped you hide the truth and clean up the mess for you?"
"Dad, why don't you explain it to us while Shen Ping and I are here?"
Shen Xiangshan squatted on the ground with his head in his hands in pain and spoke for a long time.
He had kept this matter in his heart for a long time, and he would often dream at night about the moment when the truth was revealed.
After all, he was sorry to Manman, Yangfang, and this family.
At this moment, there is nothing Shen Ping doesn't understand.
She couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I always thought that I did it perfectly, almost perfectly, and even Lu Zhengguo didn't find out. I didn't expect that there was someone helping me clean up the mess."
"Hahaha, it seems like I finally beat you once, Shen Man. At least at that crucial moment, my dad stood on the side of me, his dear daughter. Hahaha, Shen Man, you lost, you lost..."
Shen Xiangshan quickly stood up, covered Shen Ping's mouth, and shook his head at Shen Man.
"Manman, it's not like that. Dad didn't think that way. I really didn't want to favor anyone at that time, it's just... just..."
Shen Man lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, as if she didn't care about anything.
"No need to explain, I understand."
"What you want to say is that what happened was already done, I was already lying in a dishevelled state with Lu Zhengguo, and things could not be changed, so you chose to save the other one."
"As for me, you want to say that you have been making up for me. After the incident, the people who saw this scene were all me, and I won't tell anyone."
"The only person who would tell this to others is Shen Ping, who is plotting against me."
"So, you quickly suppressed the matter and used what you did to shut Shen Ping up."
"You even specifically asked Lu Zhengguo to marry me, and you gave me almost all the money that the Shen family had saved over the years as my dowry."
"Even this time when I signed up Shen Ping to go to the countryside and work in the northwest, you knew it was me who did it, but you didn't dare to ask me."
Having said this, Shen Man paused, her eyes fell on the father and daughter, her tone was indescribably sarcastic.
"So, you are neither partial to me nor to Shen Ping. You are really biased."
Shen Ping was stunned on the spot, and subconsciously looked at Shen Xiangshan, "She... is what she said true?"
