Shen Lanxin stared in horror at Shen Lihong, whose expression had suddenly changed drastically. She felt goosebumps rise all over her body, as if countless tiny insects were crawling on her skin. She almost lost her composure and could no longer maintain her indifferent expression.
Normally, this old man would only ever show such a bright and cheerful expression to Zhang Chunfang. But what strange thing has happened now? They're father and daughter, after all!
Thinking of this, Shen Lanxin felt a chill run down her spine and involuntarily revealed a look of disdain as if she were looking at trash.
"My daughter, what's wrong with you? I'm your father!"
Seeing his daughter's cold and disgusted gaze, even someone with the most unique tastes would find it hard to derive any pleasure from it. On the contrary, his heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer, the pain almost unbearable.
However, Shen Lanxin was not moved by this. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her wildly beating heart.
She gritted her teeth and said, word by word, "Things have come to this point, whether I care or not, I don't want you or the Shen family anymore!"
Upon hearing these words, Shen Lihong's facial muscles twitched violently, and he then revealed a heartbroken and utterly miserable expression, crying out in a trembling voice, "Xin Xin, how can you be so heartless? Dad has always truly loved you!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Jing hurriedly stood up and shouted anxiously, "Xin Xin, you can't treat your uncle like this!"
At this moment, Shen Lanxin turned to look at Shen Jing upon hearing the sound, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
You should know that this woman is known for being very particular about her appearance. She always dresses up carefully before going out, and the cosmetics she applies to her face seem to be piled on as if they were free.
However, today she was disheveled and filthy, looking exactly like a wild woman who had just run out of the deep mountains and forests. Although this wild woman could be considered somewhat attractive, none of that mattered at this moment.
At this moment, Shen Lanxin's mind was made up. She was even willing to give up the entire Shen family, abandon her father Shen Lihong, and of course, Shen Jing in front of her.
Just then, Zhang Chunfang, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, felt a sudden surge of joy upon hearing Shen Jing's words.
She was thinking to herself that if Shen Lanxin really severed ties with the Shen family, then even if Shen Lanxin did not marry Gu Nan in the future, her son Gu Nan would still have a great chance to inherit the Shen family's business.
After all, Zhang Chunfang was just an ordinary middle-aged woman who had only learned some basic Ace techniques and knew nothing about the company's operation and management.
Although she had heard many people praise Shen Lanxin's work ability, in Zhang Chunfang's eyes, it was all just because of the prestigious reputation of the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chunfang quickly put on an angry look and shouted loudly, as if she had already forgotten about Shen Lihong's previous indifference towards her.
"Lanxin, how could you treat your father like this? He has sacrificed so much for you! Quickly apologize to your father, or the Shen family will really kick you out of the house!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lihong became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, loudly rebuking Zhang Chunfang: "You despicable woman, how dare you spread rumors and sow discord between us! Xinxin, you must not believe her nonsense, you must believe your father, everything your father has done is sincerely for your own good!"
However, in response to her father's words, Shen Lanxin only gave two sarcastic laughs, her face full of contempt and disdain, and coldly replied, "Hmph, belated affection is worthless as grass. Who are you trying to impress with that expression?"
Strangely enough, some classic lines from those bizarre novels that usually seem particularly apt and useful at this moment.
"No, no, no, my dear daughter Lanxin, actually your father has always been on your side and supporting you! The reason why no other members of the Shen family have come to cause you trouble these days is all thanks to your father's secret maneuvering!"
Originally, according to Shen Lihong's initial plan, he intended to wait until everything had completely calmed down before appearing in front of Shen Lanxin with a gentle expression, revealing everything he had done, and enjoying the wonderful feeling of being a behind-the-scenes hero.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. Now, his daughter is about to completely break off their father-daughter relationship. At this critical moment, he has no time to care about his image or face.
As soon as Shen Lihong finished speaking, Zhang Chunfang, who was standing to the side, became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
She stared wide-eyed at the father and daughter in front of her, her face full of anxiety. She didn't want to see the two of them reconcile, otherwise all her efforts over the years would have been in vain.
The father and daughter had a big family reunion and made dumplings, so the mother and son could only watch the incredibly boring Spring Festival Gala.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chunfang could no longer suppress her anxiety and unease, and hurriedly said, "Oh dear, Lanxin, although your father wants you to marry Xiaonan, it's entirely out of good intentions for you! He's doing this so that you can have a stable and happy future!"
However, before Zhang Chunfang could finish speaking, Shen Lihong interrupted her angrily. He stood up abruptly, pointed at Zhang Chunfang, and shouted, "Shut up! You vicious, heartless woman! Don't think I don't know what you've been up to in Lin Yaodong's villa these past few days, or what you've done in the past. Do you really think I know nothing? You actually dared to dream of marrying my precious daughter to your good-for-nothing son! That's just wishful thinking! Get out of here right now!"
"I don't care about your messy affairs with Gu Bei, because we had no relationship back then."
“You kept urging my daughter to marry your son, and I didn’t refuse because I knew that my daughter didn’t even want your son.”
"But things are different now! Who would have thought you would actually go and associate with that infamous Lin Yaodong? How can a shameless and morally corrupt woman like you have the nerve to stand here and speak so arrogantly?"
(Sob sob, I might only be updating solo lately, but it's almost finished. I'll probably write some side stories about Xiaoyun and the other female leads. Happy New Year everyone!)
