He Sisi felt like she was chewing wax, and she felt even more aggrieved. The father she had looked forward to and admired was actually serious and unsmiling. He exuded an icy coldness that kept people at a distance, freezing her excitement and enthusiasm.
He Sisi felt sad and wanted to cry, but the pride she had accumulated since childhood told her that she could not cry and could not lose her pride.
She is the eldest daughter of the He family.
Dad...it's just the first time he meets her. As long as she works hard to get along with Dad, over time, she will naturally find the warmth between father and daughter.
The He family is no exception when it comes to watching the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival.
He Zongyan didn't watch these things. When he died in battle, there was no Spring Festival Gala! So he didn't have any such sentiments, and he had no interest in singing and dancing. But He Sisi had already developed this habit. The association's logistics staff in charge of Miracle Manor thoughtfully prepared a TV for He Sisi.
It was placed in the restaurant so that He Sisi could see it.
At this moment, warm applause suddenly rang out from the TV, which was warmer than any previous time and lasted longer, even drowning out the sound of the music.
He Zongyan had his back to the table, concentrating on eating.
He Sisi looked over in surprise, a flicker of amazement and discomfort in her eyes. She had seen the dance just now; it was indeed beautiful, and the artistry was high, so it was no surprise that it received a standing ovation. But she hadn't been there then. If she had been, she would have definitely outshone everyone else.
Thinking of this, He Sisi shook her head in boredom. It had been like this since she was little. She had long been accustomed to outshining everyone else. This kind of thing might give her a sense of satisfaction at first, but it would become boring over time.
Forget it, she should be magnanimous and give others the opportunity to come forward. It will be interesting if a hundred flowers bloom.
"Where's your mother?"
He Zongyan's cold voice suddenly sounded, interrupting He Sisi's distraction.
"She..." He Sisi's eyes flashed with sadness when she mentioned her mother. "After she gave birth to me, she couldn't bear the news of your death in battle, so she sent me back to the He family and got married."
He Zongyan clenched his fists suddenly, and a piercing chill suddenly swept through the cold restaurant. All the tableware, cabinets, and televisions shook violently as if they could not bear the weight. Then, one after another, they exploded in mid-air.
Snap, snap, bang...
The retro and gorgeous restaurant became completely unrecognizable and in a mess, no longer resembling its previous appearance.
He Sisi was so frightened that her whole body seemed to be frozen and she couldn't move at all.
"General!" Someone outside heard the noise and suddenly appeared with a worried expression.
"It's okay." He Zongyan waved his hand and looked at his frightened daughter. A rare flash of pity flashed across his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. "The eldest lady is frightened. Arrange someone to send her back."
"yes."
He Sisi was taken away, and He Zongyan lost his appetite and got up to leave. When he passed by the broken TV, the shattered screen was still making crackling sounds.
He Zongyan walked past, and the TV turned into powder and disappeared in the wind.

Backstage
Guan Wanwan returned with Ding Yue and the other dancers. Peng Jinghua, chief director Ding Jiaming, several assistant directors, and many others all applauded enthusiastically. Miao Zi, the TV station staff member who had previously helped Peng Jinghua secure a spot for a friend, stared at Guan Wanwan with eyes that shone with fascination.
She finally understood why her friend liked Guan Wanwan so much.
She announced that from now on she would be the second Peng Jinghua.
