Cheng Sijin reeked of alcohol, her clothes were tattered, and her back was hunched.
His face, covered in a full beard and tiny scars, gave him no scholarly air whatsoever; instead, he looked more like a hoodlum.
When Cheng Shanshan looked at him, he was also sizing her up. He then immediately revealed a lewd smile: "Shanshan, come here and let Daddy take a good look at you." As he spoke, he reached out to touch Cheng Shanshan.
"Don't touch me!"
Cheng Shanshan rebuked her coldly.
She had absolutely no good impression of this father.
But Cheng Sijin wasn't angry at all. Instead, she smiled even more brightly: "Father knows that Shanshan is upset with me because I haven't been back to see you for so many years. In fact, I had no choice. After all, I'm not doing well and I'm ashamed to face you."
"That's enough. I heard everything outside." Cheng Shanshan looked at Cheng Sijin with disgust, and her words were utterly impolite: "First of all, I don't have a father. Secondly, I have a bad temper. Get as far away from me as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Having said that, she prepared to leave with Bai Shi.
Cheng Sijin ignored her and not only showed no intention of leaving, but also shamelessly followed behind, saying repeatedly, "Shanshan, what you heard was just me saying in anger. Your father has really missed you and your mother all these years. Please give your father a chance and let him take good care of you, okay?"
"Shanshan, Dad knows you didn't have a father's love growing up, it's all my fault."
"Shanshan, you can't ignore your father."
Cheng Shanshan really didn't want to talk to her or pay attention to her.
She even had an urge to slap him to death, but she didn't do anything because of Bai Shi's presence. Bai Shi sensed Cheng Shanshan's emotional fluctuations and said cautiously, "Shanshan, there are many people watching."
"So what if it looks like that?"
When Cheng Shanshan looked at Bai Shi, she was extremely angry: "Isn't this exactly what Mother wanted? You just wanted me to be attached to him. Otherwise, how could you ask me and still go to see him even though I didn't want to?"
Bai wanted to explain that she only wanted to send some money to Cheng Sijin because they were husband and wife, but she didn't expect him to stop her from leaving as soon as he saw her, which eventually dragged Cheng Shanshan into the mess.
But saying that now seems pointless.
Cheng Shanshan got even angrier when she saw that Bai Shi didn't say anything!
She just doesn't understand what her mother is thinking, why she keeps creating trouble for herself because of her soft heart.
To make her realize her mistake, she deliberately allowed Cheng Sijin to follow her this time. However, Aunt Dong, who was standing next to her, couldn't stand it anymore: "Shanshan, I know you're angry, but she is still your mother, and that person is still your father."
"Um."
Cheng Shanshan responded.
His expression was calm and composed.
Then she pushed Bai Shi and Aunt Dong inside, and as for Cheng Sijin, she kicked her to the ground and slammed the door shut.
Cheng Sijin, who was outside, couldn't hold back any longer and angrily shouted, "Cheng Shanshan, you unfilial daughter! How dare you treat your father like this? Do you have any conscience at all? How did your mother raise you? You don't even understand basic etiquette and filial piety!"
Similarly, neither Madam Bai nor Aunt Dong expected Cheng Shanshan to be so ruthless, and they were at a loss for what to do.
At this moment, Cheng Shanshan called Cheng Shisi over and gave him a stick: "There are dogs making a ruckus outside. Keep an eye on the door for me. If he dares to take a single step in, break his leg."
"Alright!"
Cheng Shisi loves having something to do.
So he picked up a stick and stood guard at the door, looking quite serious.
Seeing this, Bai stepped forward nervously: "Shanshan, this..."
"Alright, shouldn't we settle our scores now?" Cheng Shanshan looked at Bai Shi with a cold expression for the first time: "Mother, I know you are kind-hearted, but kindness is not for this kind of thing. That man outside abandoned you back then, he was a scumbag. Since he was a scumbag, why do you still bother with him?"
Bai replied cautiously, "I just feel that he is, after all, your father."
"A father is dispensable, and besides, he's such a clingy person. Do you think I've gained weight or received more money now that I have a father?"
Cheng Shanshan's words were so impolite that Aunt Dong couldn't stand it anymore: "Shanshan, this really isn't your mother's fault." She sighed, "Actually, our courtyard is big; one more person won't make a difference, and one less person won't make a difference either. Perhaps..."
Is the yard big?
The beach is still huge!
Why the hell won't they let the other person go?
For the first time, Cheng Shanshan couldn't control her temper!
"Aunt Dong!"
Suddenly, a voice came.
The person who arrived was none other than Huo Mingchen, who had rushed back in a hurry.
He calmed Cheng Shanshan down, who was fuming, and then said to Aunt Dong and Madam Bai, "If the man outside were a good man, not to mention Shanshan, even I would treat this father-in-law like an ancestor. But he abandoned his wife and daughter and doesn't deserve your sympathy at all."
"……Um."
Aunt Dong nodded immediately.
Bai nodded, "I know."
"Okay, I'm tired."
Cheng Shanshan didn't want to talk to Bai and the others anymore.
After all, getting angrier the more you talk about it is a very unpleasant feeling.
Huo Mingchen caught up with her and couldn't help but smile when he saw her fiery state: "It's rare to see you so out of control, quite a sight."
"I'm really angry, okay?" Cheng Shanshan was still angry when she thought of Cheng Sijin's disgusting face just now. She looked up at Huo Mingchen: "Brother Huo, can you tell me what my mother is thinking?"
I clearly asked her, and she said no!
What does "father" even mean to her anymore?
But why did she have to provoke them back?
"Alright, alright."
Huo Mingchen couldn't help but pinch her puffed-up cheek: "I know what you're thinking. You're not someone who likes trouble. Leave this to me, and I'll arrange everything properly for you."
Cheng Shanshan frowned: "How should we arrange it? What's going on?" Apart from this method, which is a one-time solution, the others are simply endless troubles, and she became even more irritable when she thought about it.
"..."
Huo Mingchen coughed lightly.
He was somewhat amused and exasperated. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it," he said, reassuring her before turning and leaving.
Cheng Shanshan was skeptical.
She hadn't held out much hope.
But after a short while, the noisy cursing outside actually disappeared.
At the same time, Cheng Shisi ran over, still carrying the wooden stick he had used earlier: "Sister, Brother Huo was so fierce and took that person away."
"good."
Even a moment of peace is still peace.
Cheng Shanshan thought for a moment before saying, "I have another task for you."
Cheng Shisi asked expectantly, "What?"
