Shen Qingli came to the corridor, his eyes inadvertently swept to the lounge chair in front of him, and he saw the person sitting there from a distance.
Even though they were at a distance, she recognized who that person was at a glance: Shen Song, her father.
She took a deep breath consciously, trying to calm down her complicated emotions, and then slowly walked towards him.
When she came to him, she couldn't say "Dad" at all.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Shen Qingli tried his best to sound calm.
Shen Song heard the voice, raised his eyes to look at her, and seeing her cold tone, the anger that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart suddenly rose up.
He stood up suddenly, glared at his daughter, and asked, "Shen Qingli, do you still regard me as your father?
How long have you been back? Why don’t you go home to visit? "
Shen Qingli glanced at the time consciously and it was time to go to class.
"Let me treat you to dinner, I'll go..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Song.
"I'm not here to have dinner with you today. I have something to ask you." Shen Song's tone was firm and left no room for questioning.
Shen Qingli noticed that people passing by cast curious glances in their direction from time to time. She didn't want to attract unnecessary attention in a public place like the hospital. "Let's go outside and talk."
At this moment, Shen Song seemed determined to embarrass Shen Qingli. Not only did he not move, but he raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "Is there anything that others don't want to hear? Say it right here."
All eyes were focused on her for a moment. Shen Qingli could feel the surprised looks from the staff, but she didn't show much emotion. "If you want to talk to me, come with me. Otherwise, please go back."
After saying that, she turned around and left. She knew very well in her heart that her father came here not just to care about her well-being, but most likely to call her to task.
Shen Song felt very uncomfortable seeing her attitude, but after hesitating for a moment, he still followed her.
The two of them came to the rooftop outside. The sunlight was shining on the rooftop. It should have been warm, but the wind was cool, which made Shen Qingli more sober.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Qingli went straight to the door. She didn't want to beat around the bush anymore. She just wanted to quickly end this tormenting conversation.
Shen Song's tone was cold as he asked again: "Shen Qingli, do you still have me as your father and this family in your eyes? Why don't you go home when you come back?"
The complaint in that tone was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting through Shen Qingli's heart.
Shen Qingli looked at him expressionlessly, with a barely perceptible flash of pain in her eyes: "Home? I have no home since my mother left me."
Shen Song snorted coldly, his tone full of dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about? Your mother is dead, but your father is still alive. Is this how you act as a daughter?
Also, what is your relationship with Zhou Yanchen?"
Hearing this, Shen Qingli curled up a self-deprecating sneer at the corner of her lips. She knew that this was the real purpose of her father's visit.
"I have nothing to do with him."
"You still want to lie to me here? The Internet says that you two have obtained your marriage certificate. Now he often looks for you and says it's nothing." Shen Song refused to give in, his eyes full of suspicion.
Shen Qingli's face became more and more ugly. The exposed privacy was like a sharp blade, stabbing her.
But she still tried to control her emotions and said as kindly as possible: "If you want to get in touch with Zhou Yanchen through me, I think you have found the wrong person."
"If you have nothing else to do, please go back!"
After saying that, she turned around and looked into the distance, her eyes slightly red.
Shen Song was not willing to give up. "Shen Qingli, the company was in such a difficult situation back then. You and Zhou Yanchen clearly had that kind of relationship. Why didn't you say a word?"
"Do you know how difficult it was for me?"
After saying this, Shen Qingli turned around and looked at him coldly, "So when the company was in trouble, you planned to marry me to a cripple to make money for you?"
"You even hired someone to kidnap me. You are such a good father to me."
"Don't come to me again in the future."
After saying that, Shen Qingli turned around and was about to leave.
Shen Song was not willing to let her go so easily. He stepped forward, stretched out his hand and firmly grasped her arm, questioning with a bit of disbelief and anger in his voice:
"Shen Qingli, you are so rebellious, how did you just talk to me?"
The tone was as if he was still the parent who controlled everything and his daughter should obey him.
A hint of determination flashed across Shen Qingli's face, and he used his body to pull his body back from Shen Song's body, his movements full of resistance.
She looked directly into Shen Song's eyes, her eyes firm and a little cold, and said word by word: "You know very well in your heart that the father-daughter relationship between us has been severed since you asked someone to kidnap me that time."
When Shen Song heard this, he was stunned at first, then he sneered, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his laughter.
He raised his head slightly, "No, you have grown too independent. No matter what, you can't change the fact that you have my blood in you."
In his opinion, this blood relationship is his eternal support. No matter what happens, Shen Qingli must recognize him as his father.
Shen Qingli clenched his hands into fists at his sides, and his joints turned white from use.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, and it was obvious that she was suppressing her anger. "Yes, this is what I hate the most."
She said this through gritted teeth; every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, filled with deep disgust.
As soon as the words fell, a loud slap sounded, breaking the brief silence around them.
A red mark quickly appeared on Shen Qingli's cheek, and the fingerprint was clearly visible and particularly glaring.
Just at this time, Zhou Yanchen happened to come to find Shen Qingli.
This scene fell into his eyes without any warning.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and a trace of heartache and anger flashed in his eyes.
He hurried over, moving eagerly and decisively, and pulled Shen Qingli behind him.
Seeing the clear fingerprints on Shen Qingli's fair cheek, Zhou Yanchen's eyes turned cold instantly, "Why did you hit her?"
When Shen Song saw that it was Zhou Yanchen, his heart skipped a beat.
The anger on his face instantly subsided, like a Sichuan opera face-changing, and he immediately retracted his anger, and put on a seemingly kind smile, "She is my daughter, if she doesn't obey, she will be beaten."
In his mind, beating a daughter seems to be a perfectly normal thing, and it is a way for parents to discipline their children.
Zhou Yanchen's eyes grew colder when he heard this. "You only evolved your body, didn't your brain evolve as well?"
"She is herself first, and your daughter second. Even if she is your daughter, you should not hit her."
Shen Song knew in his heart that Zhou Yanchen was not an ordinary person. The power behind him and his influence in the business world were something he could not afford to offend.
He didn't want to strain his relationship with Zhou Yanchen. After all, with him as a connection, would he still be worried about not being able to get investment?
Thinking of this, he suppressed his anger, the smile on his face became more brilliant, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is our family affair, so please don't worry about it.
You haven't eaten yet, how about we go have a meal together?"
He tried to use a meal to ease the tense atmosphere, and at the same time wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Zhou Yanchen.
"I'm busy." Zhou Yanchen answered straightforwardly without any hesitation.
While Shen Qingli was talking to him, she had already turned and walked towards the hospital.
Her back looked somewhat lonely and her steps were a little heavy.
All these experiences had made her disillusioned with this so-called father. The conflict just now was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Seeing this, Zhou Yanchen glared at Shen Song fiercely and warned him, "If you come to trouble Xiao Li again in the future, don't blame me for being rude to the Shen family."
After saying that, he turned around and chased after Shen Qingli.
