"It's finally here, my dear daughter." Mei Yanqiu's voice was shrill and piercing, as if it came from the depths of hell.
Shen Liwu paused, and her heart sank suddenly. She had never seen Mei Yanqiu like this. Her once gentle eyes were now filled with resentment and madness.
"What do you want?" Shen Liwu's voice was calm and restrained, but her eyes were fixed on the dagger, fearing that Mei Yanqiu would make a big mistake out of impulse.
Mei Yanqiu sneered, and the tip of the knife lightly scratched Shen Wanshan's neck, leaving a shallow blood mark.
"What do I want? Haha, Shen Liwu, I want you to pay for my daughter's life."
"She has it all her own way."
"You brought this upon yourself?" Mei Yanqiu's laughter suddenly stopped, a hint of ferocity flashed in her eyes, "Yes, if it weren't for Zhou Yanjing she wouldn't have died, but she died because of you, you killed her!"
Shen Liwu's brows slightly frowned, but his expression remained calm, "What do you want in order to let my dad go?"
A sinister smile appeared on Mei Yanqiu's lips, and the dagger in her hand swung gently, as if mocking Shen Liwu's innocence.
"Let him go? Of course, as long as you jump down from here, I will let him go."
Shen Liwu looked over Mei Yanqiu's shoulder and looked at his father Shen Wanshan. His eyes were filled with anxiety and pain, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and his mouth was blocked with rags, so he could only make low whimpers.
"Mei Yanqiu," Shen Liwu's voice was still calm, but her fists were clenched tightly, "You hate me, I can understand. But you can't hurt innocent people. Let my dad go, and we will solve the grudge between us ourselves."
"Innocent?" Mei Yanqiu's laughter was sharp and piercing, and accompanied by the howling mountain wind, it seemed even more eerie and terrifying.
"Is he innocent? Shen Liwu, you probably don't know what your father has done for you!
How has he treated me all these years? Your mother died, and he even called out your mother's name in his dreams. In order to protect you, he worked so hard to climb up the ladder, and even asked me to accompany clients. Do you think he did it for himself? All this is because of you.
He wrote in his diary: My daughter is 18 years old, I can't spend New Year's Day with her, she hates me, I took her to social events, she saw the actors she admired, she was very happy.
She is getting married, but she doesn't want to marry her son-in-law. She has a stubborn personality, but her son-in-law is kind and will definitely tolerate and love her. I feel relieved to leave her to him.
Jia Jia likes Zhou Yan Jing. I begged your father to marry Jia Jia to Zhou Yan Jing, but he slapped me in the face.
He said the most heartbreaking words: Don't interfere in my daughter's marriage! ”
Mei Yanqiu's voice became sharper in the mountain wind, as if she wanted to pour out all her resentment.
There was a crazy fire burning in her eyes. She tightened the dagger in her hand again, and the blade pierced Wanshan's neck, leaving a tiny blood mark. Shen Wanshan’s body trembled slightly, but he couldn’t break free.
"Chen Liwu, do you know? Your father never really loved me." Mei Yanqiu's voice was morbidly calm, as if she was telling a memory that had long since rotted.
"His heart will always belong to your mother. He even calls out her name in his dreams. I am just a substitute, a tool to fill the void in his heart."
Shen Liwu clenched her fists tighter, her eyes moving back and forth between Mei Yanqiu and her father, with complicated emotions surging in her heart. She had never imagined that her father would suffer so much, nor had she ever imagined that she had misunderstood him so deeply.
