After a while, the door slowly opened, and Yu Wan stood in the doorway, still sleepy. When she saw it was her father, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her stubbornness: "Dad, is something the matter?"
Yu Changnian entered the room, sat down in a chair, and gestured for Yu Wan to sit down as well. He looked at his daughter and said earnestly, "Wanwan, your behavior yesterday disappointed Grandpa greatly and caused the whole family a lot of worry. Why did you ask Xiaojin to pay your dowry?"
Yu Wan lowered her head and muttered softly, "She hurt me like this, so what's wrong with giving me some money as dowry? Besides, she doesn't lack money now."
Yu Changnian frowned: "Wanwan, how did Xiaojin harm you? I've already said that Xiaojin has nothing to do with your mother's situation! Besides, Xiaojin has never harmed you; she's always been yielding! Furthermore, it's our family that owes her, not the other way around."
"If you want a dowry, you should strive to earn it yourself, instead of trying to get it from others."
Yu Wan raised her head, her eyes filled with hatred, and said, "If she hadn't come back, would my mother have gone to jail? Would I be like this now? You all side with her, even my brother! But I'm your daughter! I don't have a mother anymore, and she's trying to take my brother and father away! Why can't I ask her for some money?"
Yu Changnian looked at Yu Wan with some heartache and said, "It's my fault. I've neglected you these past few years. I'm sorry. And I'll help you prepare your dowry!"
Yu Wan bit her lip and remained silent. Yu Changnian continued, "Grandpa is really angry this time. He said if you continue to be so disobedient, you shouldn't come back to your parents' home anymore. Dad knows you've been spoiled since you were little, but you should be more sensible by now and can't continue to be so willful."
Hearing her grandfather's resolute attitude, Yu Wan's eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up. She said in a sob, "Dad, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please, can you help me plead with Grandpa? I can't live without this family, I can't never go back to my parents' home again."
Looking at his daughter's regretful and pitiful appearance, Yu Changnian felt a pang of heartache and helplessness. He sighed softly and said slowly, "Wanwan, an apology isn't something you can just say. You have to prove your change with your actions. Grandpa is truly disappointed this time. You have to show him your sensible side before he will change his mind."
Yu Wan nodded vigorously and said eagerly, "Dad, I will. I will definitely let Grandpa see the change in me. Tell me what to do, and I will listen to you."
Yu Changnian pondered for a moment and said, "First of all, find an opportunity to sincerely apologize to Xiaojin. No matter what you think, Xiaojin has suffered a lot outside over the years and has not received the care she deserves when she comes home. Your behavior yesterday was indeed too much."
Yu Wan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Dad, I understand. I will apologize to her."
