"You could obviously find an excuse to adopt her." For the Zhou family, raising one more girl was nothing.
Shi Miao gazed at Zhou Liheng with a calm gaze. Tao Xiaran might indeed be Zhou Liheng's white moonlight. But if she truly held such a profound importance in his heart, he wouldn't have abandoned her and chosen to pursue her mother, Wen Ying. Ultimately, his nostalgia for that youthful relationship was based on the premise that his own interests were not compromised.
Zhou Liheng's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "I was deceived. I was deceived by Shan Jukai and Tao Xiaran."
"They lied to me. They said you were a jinx, that your existence was incompatible with my destiny, and that not only would everything go wrong for me, it would kill me. They also lied to me, saying Zhou Man would bring me good fortune and help my career take off. They schemed against me by causing several accidents when your mother was pregnant. I was so scared, afraid that you would kill me, that I believed them and jumped into the trap they set, swapping you with Zhou Man."
"I should have known that Shan Jukai had been bribed by Tao Xiaran a long time ago. He even lied to me, saying that he had given me an amulet and that I would be fine no matter how much face cream I took. How could I be so stupid as to believe him again?"
"The person who really defeats me is Zhou Man."
"Miaomiao, you will forgive me, right? You have always been the best and most filial child. Dad has his reasons, please save me. I already know my mistakes. When I recover, I will remarry your mother, and we will still be a happy family in the future."
Zhou Liheng imagined that after he and Wen Ying remarried, Shi Miao would be filial and respectful to him, and those who originally laughed at him would change their faces and become extremely fawning.
"No forgiveness. Do you deserve it? How many do you deserve!"
The cold words turned into ice water, dragging Zhou Liheng back to reality from his sweet dream. He looked at Shi Miao in disbelief, unable to believe that those words came from Shi Miao's mouth.
His cloudy pupils reflected Shi Miao's face, which looked like an ice goddess. It was the first time he saw such obvious disgust and disdain on her face, as if she was looking at something dirty.
"you……"
"I will never forgive you. I came here today just to see you make a fool of yourself before you die. Seeing you live such a miserable life, I am happy. I can make you back to normal, but I won't waste the elixir on someone like you. People like you only deserve to be ruined and their families destroyed."
"By the way, for the sake of our father-daughter relationship, I'm kindly reminding you. You only have three minutes left to live. Let me help you count down. I'm just so considerate, no need to thank me!"
Zhou Liheng wanted to yell at Shi Miao, his unfilial daughter, but no sound came out of his throat and his heart beat faster and faster.
"180."
"179."
…
When Shi Miao called out 1, Zhou Liheng's heart stopped beating. His eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes open.
