Yan Qing stood behind Yan's father and looked at Huo Beiting with an apologetic look. She didn't expect her father to show up at this time and ruin the date they had been preparing for a long time.
"I didn't know he was coming."
Yan Qing whispered to Huo Beiting.
"It doesn't matter."
Huo Beiting also responded to her in a low voice.
"You, come home with me."
Yan Qing didn't expect that after scolding Huo Beiting, Yan's father turned around and said this to her with an angry face. Looking at Yan's father's rare serious expression, Yan Qing could only do as he said. She and Huo Beiting winked at each other and followed Yan's father away.
In the car, Father Yan's mood, which had just been angry at seeing Huo Beiting being too intimate with his daughter, improved a lot. He said to his daughter.
"Dad didn't mean to be angry with you. Dad is doing this for your own good."
But unexpectedly, Yan Qing turned his head away and didn't want to say anything to him.
In fact, Yan Qing was not particularly angry. She could understand what Yan's father did, but if the problem was not resolved this time, there would be endless troubles in the future, and Yan's father would become even more disturbing to the two of them.
Father Yan looked at Yan Qing embarrassedly and spoke cautiously.
"My dear girl, we'll be home soon. Don't be angry with Daddy, okay? We can talk about it at home if there's anything."
After returning home, Yan's father asked Yan Qing to go to the study with him. At this time, a message came on Yan Qing's mobile phone. Yan Qing knew it was from Huo Beiting. She wanted to go back to her room and reply to Huo Beiting's message, but was stopped by Yan's father.
"Qingqing, Daddy didn't mean to disturb your date with someone else, but this Huo Beiting is absolutely not worthy of you. We should still find someone who is of equal status."
Yan Qing was surprised by her father's thoughts. She didn't know why her father had such great malice towards Huo Beiting. Could it be because of the previous incident? But that incident had passed and was resolved well.
"Dad, Huo Beiting is very good and treats me very well, and we are very happy together. Why do you say he is not worthy of me?"
What Yan's father was most worried about happened. He was afraid that his daughter would remain stubborn and refuse to repent, so he said cruelly.
"That man cheated on you once before, so he can cheat on you a second time. Qingqing, you've been pampered at home since you were a child, and you don't know much about the maliciousness of the outside world. This kind of Phoenix man can't enter our house. Let Dad help you find one, or you can stay at home with Dad more. It will give Dad some time to find a good man for you."
He didn't know that his daughter's core had changed, and he still thought that Yan Qing was his spoiled daughter who didn't know other people's sufferings, so he worried about Yan Qing everywhere.
"Huo Beiting is not a Phoenix Man. It was not his intention when he lied to me before."
Yan Qing didn't know why Yan's father was so hostile to Huo Beiting, and Yan's father didn't dare to say that he had sent people to follow Huo Beiting before. The two of them were in a stalemate for a while.
"He's not a Phoenix Man. He's very ambitious and always looking for opportunities to realize his grand ideas. I support him. If my support makes him a Phoenix Man, then I don't know what to say."
Yan Qing was reluctant to say anything too harsh to Yan's father. She knew that Yan's father was doing this for her own good, but she didn't want to be controlled by Yan's father all the time.
"Dad, I've grown up and have my own judgment. I believe Huo Beiting is a very good person and he won't hurt me again."
"Will never hurt you again?"
Father Yan seemed to have heard a joke and spoke again.
"I know everything. That man is living in your house now, and you're the one who provides him with food and drink. Does he have a job? Any ambitions? Is his ambition to marry you and inherit our Yan family's wealth?"
What Yan's father said was unpleasant, and Yan Qing didn't know how to refute it for a moment, because Huo Beiting had a job, but Huo Beiting did live in his own home, but she couldn't figure out how Yan's father knew it.
"Dad, how did you know?"
Yan Qing asked, but Yan's father misunderstood. He thought he had said that Huo Beiting was a gigolo.
"That kind of man can't escape your father's eyes. He only wants to live off his wife. He doesn't even have a family. He relies on my precious daughter to support him alone. I just don't want you to suffer."
When Father Yan thought about how he had sent people to follow Huo Beiting and watched him doing nothing all day, and then thought about his daughter having to support two people, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Did you send someone to follow us?"
Yan Qing suddenly understood why her father was so sure that Huo Beiting was a gigolo, so she asked.
"Yes, but Daddy, this is all for your own good."
Father Yan didn't want to lie to his daughter, so he admitted it honestly. Yan Qing was shocked.
"Dad, I'm grown up now and don't need your protection anymore. I can take care of myself and I don't need you to send anyone to follow me. If you're curious about my life or Huo Beiting's life, you can ask us yourself. I don't want you to protect me or do things for my own good."
Yan Qing said a lot of things at once. If she didn't make things clear this time, Yan's father would do something wrong in the future under the pretext of doing good for his daughter.
"I sent someone to follow you because I was worried about your safety, didn't I?"
Father Yan slammed the table. It was rare for him to get angry with his daughter, but today he was really angry. He didn't expect that his good intentions would cause trouble for Yan Qing. Father Yan felt that all his efforts were in vain.
"I'm asking you directly? Will you tell me? You only lied to me on purpose just to be with Huo Beiting. How can a Phoenix man compare to the love we have? He's already lied to you once, you should grow your brain! Don't always be deceived by a scumbag."
After saying this, Father Yan realized that he was wrong. He didn't want to lose his temper and say so many inappropriate things this time. He immediately looked at his daughter's expression, fearing that Yan Qing would be so angry that she would run away from home.
But Yan Qing is no longer the rich lady she used to be. She knows in her heart that if she wants to solve this problem, she can only face it head-on and eliminate the grudge that Yan's father has towards Huo Beiting.
"Dad, I know what I'm doing. Is it because you have too deep a grudge against Huo Beiting that you misjudged him? I'm not a fool without a brain, and Huo Beiting has never lied to me before. You're just overthinking everything. Don't let this little thing ruin the relationship between us?"
Yan Qing also made it clear that she knew that Yan's father was angry and the words he said were hurtful, but she would not be sad because of these trivial matters.
"Dad, why don't we have a good chat about Huo Beiting? I'll tell you everything I know, and then you can make a judgment and see if the two of us are suitable for each other."
Yan Qing's words were sincere, and Yan's father's mood gradually calmed down. He asked himself, he was only angry because he saw the two of them being too intimate in the mall, and when he returned home it was because his daughter did not understand his painstaking efforts. Now that Yan Qing comforted him, he really felt much better.
