body stiffened, and it took her a long time to recover.She had imagined countless times that He Hanchuan would confess to her, but she never expected it to happen in this situation. It was surprising...Upon hearing this, Jingyun was stunned. Tears hung from her eyelashes before finally falling. “You... you've always thought this way You think it's all your doing that me and the children are able to live comfortably”

"Of course, it wasn't just my doing." Xiang Jianguo paused for a moment before saying, "If my parents hadn't left the company to me, I wouldn't have been able to let you and the two children live a good life!"

But people have to have a conscience, Ah Yu and Xiang Wan don't have any. If it weren't for me struggling alone to hold things up, could the company have developed into what it is today As a result, not only doesn't Wanwan understand my hard work, but she also…

向晚 sneered and cut him off, "Me and my brother, one was arranged by you to learn dance from a young age, the other was arranged by you to pursue sports. You never let either of us touch company management, now you come to blame us for not knowing anything"

"If it weren't for the two of you slacking off, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to get your high school diplomas. I would have you learn things that are useless!" Xiang Jianguo's face was ashen.

Yú Jìngyùn's voice was hoarse from calling out. She picked up her teacup and took a couple of sips before hesitantly saying, "Wǎnwǎn, there's something we need to talk about. Your dad letting you learn dance and your brother learn sports, it's because he cares about both of you."

"You still think Dad is completely devoted to both of us, don't you" Xiang Wan asked this question, unable to tell what was in her heart.

Mom's changes over this time, she saw them with her own eyes, and she even wavered about whether to go back home.

But she was truly afraid, afraid that if something happened again, her mother would once again stand against her. She feared being slapped by her mother for her father or for anyone else...

"It's not like that!" Yu Jing quickly explained, "I just feel that your dad did some things wrong, but after all, he is still your father and loves you!"

You can't deny the whole person, and everything they've ever done, just because they made a mistake!

Toward the end, she tightened her lips and clenched her fists slightly, "Alright, then let me ask you one thing: When you married Director Xiang, were my grandparents against it Did they even make a will on your wedding day"

Yu Jingyun glanced at Xiang Jianguo, nodded, remembering the good times the two had shared, then thinking of their present lives, tears welled up again.

“The will states that if something happens to them, all their shares and assets should be transferred to my brother and me. If my brother and I are both minors at the time, these will be held in our father's and uncle's name until we come of age. Upon reaching adulthood, the company will be given to my brother and the other assets will be transferred to me.”

"In order to legitimately take those things, he wouldn't give them to me or my brother. He prevented us from ever being involved in the company's management. And he deliberately spoiled us rotten!" The last sentence was spoken by Xiang Wan to Xiang Jianguo, each word gritted out between her teeth.

Yújìngyùn was startled, her face filled with disbelief.

Toward Jian Guo, who had stood up suddenly before sitting back down again, he lifted his cup and drank two large gulps. “Where did you hear such nonsense Are you saying that I am only being good to my child for ulterior motives”

“That's right, Wanwan. Your dad was wrong about the car accident, but he didn't intentionally spoil you two, did he” Yu Jingyun frowned and said: “Parents all hope their daughters become phoenixes and their sons dragons. How could they say something like that to you You think too badly of your father!”

She held resentment toward her husband, but deep down she still wished he would apologize, that their daughter would forgive him, and then the four of them, along with their two little treasures, Hehe and Meimei, could live happily together.

Just like before.

For eighteen years, mother and daughter lived together. Seeing her like this, Xiǎo Wǎn could guess what she was thinking without a doubt. Suddenly, a jumble of emotions welled up inside her, an indescribable mix of feelings.

"Xian Guo's face flushed with red, then white, then back to red again, like a palette had been overturned. "Xiang Wan, no matter what, you carry half of my genes! What do you think of me"

"Not what I thought." Xiang Wan sipped her milk tea, the sweet taste turning bitter in her mouth. "When I was fourteen, on New Year's Day at my grandmother's house, I heard Grandpa and Grandma say it with my own ears from Mr. Xiang himself."

At that time, grandpa and grandma called her father out and said that he couldn't spoil the children anymore. He would spoil them rotten if he kept giving them everything they wanted. They shouldn't be allowed to get whatever they want, and he shouldn't always blame others when they fight with people.

He also said that as a parent, he should strive for what he wants himself and shouldn't take it from his children.

She ignored the rest of what they said at that moment, thinking that her grandparents and father had said this because her dad had just bought her a two-million-dollar sports car as a New Year's gift.

For this, she also gave her grandparents a cold shoulder for a while, and didn't visit their home during Chinese New Year for two consecutive years. No matter what her parents said, she refused to go.

"Xiang Jianguo, what on earth were you thinking!" Yu Jingyun stared at Xiang Jianguo with red-rimmed eyes. He wasn't like this before... How could he... how could he become like this

“My parents have lived their whole lives in the countryside, what do they know” Xiang Jianguo tried his best to suppress the restlessness and anger in his heart, “When I just bought a two million car as a gift for Xiang Wan, they thought it was too extravagant, and they only criticized me a few words, telling me not to spoil the child!”

He slammed his hand on the table, as if wanting to explode but desperately holding back. "That's not at all how Xiang Wan said it!"

"Grandma said at the time that if she wanted something, she should fight for it herself and not take it from the children. How do you explain that" Xiang Wan asked.

Towards Jian Guo, silence descended. His expression shifted and changed.

Yijing's back leaned against the chair, her face pale as if drained of all color, like a lifeless wooden doll.

"I'm sorry..." Xiangwan stood up and bowed. After hesitating for a moment, she still called out, "Mom," I can't go back to the house. Please don't come looking for me again."

She turned her head to look at Xiang Jianguo, her eyes had turned cold. "As for the assets in your hands, I won't argue with you because those things will eventually belong to my brother. I don't want to make things too ugly, so that my brother and sister-in-law can walk outside without being pointed at."

But you also remember, everyone has a bottom line. Don't keep your eyes on me. Once is one, twice is two, there won't be a third time for the same thing. I won't tolerate it happening a third time.

Having said that, she glanced at Yu Jingyun again, let out a barely audible sigh, and then left behind a pack of tissues.

Towards Evening walked out of the tea shop, staring blankly into the distance. There was sunshine, but the sky remained overcast. Air pollution control had been in place for a while, but it didn't seem to have much effect.

Beep —

Beep—

At this moment, the phone vibrated with a sound.

"Bro." Xiang Wan answered the phone, sounding a bit weary.
