Chapter 19 Selfishness



Li Yang poured a glass of water for Li Jianhai and sat down opposite him: "I think it's pretty good. I'm free and no one forces me to do things I don't like." Li Jianhai understood what Li Yang meant and sighed, saying, "I know you blame your family, but if your mother had any other choice, she wouldn't have married you off so early.

We have inquired about the Fu family. The young man and his family conditions are quite good. Although his temperament is a bit bad, it is still a good thing to be with him, right? I didn't expect you to resent him.

There's no such thing as an overnight grudge between mother and daughter. Your mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As long as you give in to her and admit your mistakes, she will forgive you."

Listening to Li Jianhai's words, Li Yang couldn't help but feel sad.

In the past, the father and daughter rarely sat down and chatted like this. Now, after talking about it, the last bit of her thoughts about the father-daughter relationship were extinguished.

She snorted coldly and said, "I originally thought that you didn't ask about the Fu family's affairs and didn't understand them. Now it seems that you have always been clear about it in your heart. It's just because it doesn't harm your own interests that you choose to keep silent, right?

You want me to go back and admit my mistakes? After that, I'll divorce Ji Huaizhi, and then follow your arrangements to marry Fu Jin, so that I can clean up Li Yaozu's mess, right?

You keep saying today that it was Mom's idea, but without your tacit consent, could she have made the decision?"

Yes, no matter how cowardly Li Jianhai is, it is impossible that he cannot even decide his daughter's marriage. To put it nicely, Li Jianhai is incompetent, but in fact he is selfish in his bones. As long as his own interests are not involved, he can be a quail all his life and let Feng Mei exploit and oppress her. Anyway, he also enjoys her blood and sweat. Why didn't she see through this in her previous life?

Li Jianhai's face turned pale and blue after being scolded by Li Yang. He finally couldn't help himself. His face darkened and a fierce look appeared in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Li Yang, watch how you speak. I am your father after all!"

"Oh, so you knew I was your daughter?" Li Yang stood up directly. "I also know the reason why you came today. I have only one attitude from the beginning to the end: I will not divorce Ji Huaizhi, so you can just give up on that idea.

Of course, I don't mind if you don't acknowledge me as your daughter, and please don't disturb my life anymore."

Li Yang's words made Li Jianhai lose his composure any longer. He raised his hand and was about to slap Li Yang in the face.

Li Yang wasn't afraid either. He took a step forward, raised his cheek and said, "You can hit me if you want. Even if you kill me, I won't go back to that house!"

There were still some slap marks on Li Yang's face from Feng Mei. Her little face was pointed and there was gauze wrapped around her forehead. When he looked into her clear black and white eyes, Li Jianhai felt inexplicably guilty.

He had raised this daughter for twenty years, and for the first time, he found that he seemed to have never understood her.

The anger accumulated for only a moment. Looking back, he no longer had the urge to hit Li Yang. Instead, he felt a sense of regret deep in his heart.

He didn't know why, but he felt like he was slowly losing her.

Remembering Feng Mei's words before leaving, he finally steeled his heart and said, "No matter who you marry, it won't change the fact that you're a daughter of the Li family. Not only do you have to support your parents, you also have to help your brothers... So, talk to Ji Huaizhi about how much money you can contribute to help your brother." Li Yang still refused to budge: "You can see, we don't have any money. If there's anything in this house you like, feel free to sell it."

"You..." Li Jianhai was angered again by Li Yang. He pointed at her, his lips trembling. "I never thought that our Li family would raise such a heartless and ungrateful girl like you!"

Listening to Li Jianhai's accusations, Li Yang just sneered: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me."

It turns out that when a person is hurt to the extreme, there is nothing worth her care about anymore, and nothing can hurt her anymore.

Li Yang asked himself, does it hurt?

Of course it hurts.

In the long time that has passed, she has longed for the warmth of her parents more than once. She does not pray that they can give her more love, but only hopes that they can be fairer and make her feel that she is still loved in this family, even if it is just a little bit.

However, her hopes were met with disappointments time and time again. During the countless nights when she hid and cried, she couldn't help but ask herself, are her parents treating her like this because she is not their biological child?

But the eyebrows and eyes that are similar to theirs cannot deceive anyone.

"Li Yang!" Seeing Li Yang's cold expression, Li Jianhai couldn't hold back any longer and shouted angrily, "Your mother and I raised you for twenty years!"

He didn't know whether he was trying to cover up his guilt with force or because of something else, but a feeling of disappointment and powerless frustration swept over his whole body.

She is obviously an obedient daughter, why did she become like this?
