Chapter 318 Murder and Arson



Snacks and candies were scattered all over the floor. The little girl grabbed the man's arm, drooling as she took a bite, trying to leave him. But the man said, "Mengmeng, I'm your dad."

dad?

Guo Zhimeng looked up at the man with the same eyebrows and eyes as her, and burst into tears, struggling even more fiercely.

"No, no."

Manager Guo returned to Shanghai at some point and even went out of his way to find the hotel where his daughter was having her birthday party.

Before he could say anything, a figure swiftly rushed over and pinned him to the ground.

With a loud thud, before Manager Guo could react, his knees hit the ground, and both his arms were bent over.

The businessman was muscular and strong, and even with his wrist twisted, large beads of sweat quickly appeared on his face. He was not as thin as Zhao Chengguang, who was as thin as a monkey but had considerable strength.

"I'm the father." As soon as Manager Guo's voice came out, Zhao Chengguang chuckled, "If you're the father, then I'm the grandfather."

"It's your dad. 'Can a father scare a child like this?'"

The little girl looked terrified, biting her fist, and two streams of tears fell down her cheeks. As if she had seen some horror movie, her body trembled and she stood there blankly.

It seems they were genuinely frightened.

When something happened here, the security guards and service staff nearby arrived quickly.

Zhao Chengguang only let go after someone else took over.

Over there, the man was still explaining, "I really am his father. Don't we look alike?"

The daughter resembles her father; Guo Zhimeng's facial features are a perfect replica of Manager Guo.

He has a round head, round forehead, round eyes, and wears round glasses.

"Everyone says so, you don't believe me? Look at my ID card—"

As he spoke, the man took out his wallet and handed it to the person.

After they said that, they compared the results and realized they had made a huge blunder.

That's true, who would come to a luxury hotel to steal a child?

Zhao Chengguang put on a smile and went over to help the man up. "You've misunderstood, brother. I'm just worried about my child. Don't take it to heart."

No one took the outstretched hand.

Manager Guo snorted, dusted off non-existent dust from his knees, walked around Zhao Chengguang, and went straight to his daughter.

When he got to Guo Zhimeng, he put on a kind face and spoke gently, "Mengmeng? Daddy's back. Doesn't Mengmeng welcome you?"

"You're not welcome." The little girl turned to the door and said, "Go away."

Seeing this, Manager Guo wasn't pleased. He stopped smiling, put on his stern fatherly air, and said, "Mengmeng—"

"How can you talk to your father like that?"

Guo Zhimeng raised her calm, unwavering eyes to look at her father, and shook her head. "You've already divorced Mom, and the court awarded custody of me to her."

Since the divorce, his father has never visited him.

Although she is young, the little girl is not stupid.

Her family environment had long made her aware of her father's purpose in returning—

She heard the adults talking about it.

They came back to acknowledge her as their daughter for money and power, and she still had some value to them.

Dad wanted to remarry Mom, so he started targeting her.

Guo Zhimeng knew the truth perfectly well, but she was unwilling to say it.

I glanced at the magnificent hall, the teddy bear, the balloons, the cake tower, and even the wad of cash my father was now pulling out.

Guo Zhimeng felt exhausted. Her back hunched, she looked at her toes and uttered the words hidden deep in her heart—

"I don't want to be your daughter anymore."

Even if you give me ten thousand yuan, I still don't want to be your daughter anymore.

"Whose daughter do you want to be?" Manager Guo's voice suddenly rose. "How can you be so insensible? Who is your father working so hard for?"

"Your mom and dad work so hard to give you a better life, don't you understand?"

Others want it but don't have it yet!

I get scolded for celebrating my birthday.

Zhao Chengguang, watching from the side, was somewhat puzzled. "Brother, brother, don't scare the child."

Girls need to be coaxed; how can you scold them so rudely?

Manager Guo's voice grew louder and louder, and there were so many waiters setting things up nearby.

Wouldn't it be bad if outsiders heard this?

Zhao Chengguang grabbed Manager Guo's hand, "Don't be angry when I say something—"

"Your adult problems are for adults to solve."

Why come back and scold the child?

Furthermore, "You work hard to earn money for your children?"

This might fool a child, but for Zhao Chengguang, it's just shirking responsibility.

"You're a grown man, big and burly, how dare you say such a thing?"

You bought the house but you don't live in it? Whose name is on the property deed?

"You won't work hard just because you don't have children? What kind of twisted logic is that?"

Zhao Chengguang hates it when people shift the blame onto children. “We’re all men, stop with the nonsense. You’re working hard for yourself, not for others.”

Using moral blackmail to pressure children is really something else.

"Who are you?" Manager Guo couldn't argue with Zhao Chengguang, so he raised his voice, "Do you think you can interrupt our family members' conversation?"

He had done his research before he came—

My daughter has nowhere to go now. Her maternal uncles don't want her anymore, and Liu Qing is still in another city.

At this moment, all you need to do is take advantage of the situation, say a few kind words, and spend time playing and strolling with the child...

It's really hard to say who our daughter will be closer to in the future.

Guo Zhimeng has shares left by Old Mrs. Liu, and Liu Qing is not getting married, so all that money will eventually belong to their own daughter.

Looking at his daughter, who looked exactly like him, Manager Guo suddenly felt less angry.

His daughter's money is his money; it's "the Guo family's money."
