Chapter 1532: Chapter 1521: Avenging My Sister

"Ye Qiu, you are now somewhat of a celebrity, so you should be more careful with your words. I am your Father, and I can tolerate you, but if the entertainment journalists find out, there will be trouble." Zhan Hui educated her in a tone that seemed caring and forgiving.

Ye Jing and Ye Qiu, mother and daughter, were almost nauseated by his demeanor. Among the three of them, who didn’t know the true nature of the other? Did he really think he could deceive Ye Qiu just because she was young?

"Your wife told you to come, didn’t she? You’re really obedient," Ye Qiu looked at him mockingly. "Being ordered around by your own wife, your life these years hasn’t been very good, has it?"

Zhan Hui’s kindly facial expression was no longer sustainable, and he scolded with a furrowed brow, "Is this how your Mom educated you over the years? You’ve studied for so many years but it seems like you’ve learned nothing!"

Ye Qiu’s expression also turned cold as she dismissively said, "Indeed, whether I’ve learned anything or not is correct, but my biological Father is indeed a dog."

"You!" Zhan Hui was livid, "You’re being impudent."

"Impudent? How am I being impudent? Why are you upset when I mention a dog?" Ye Qiu rolled her eyes, "Mr., please move aside, my Mom and I are leaving."

"I came specifically to find you," Zhan Hui said, restraining his anger.

"You want me to spare Li Zhihua? Dream on." Ye Qiu snorted coldly, "Mr. Zhan, I am not as generous as you are, considering others even after your own daughter was harmed and killed. You truly are a Saint."

"Your sister’s death was an accident, the police have closed the case, what more do you want?" Zhan Hui yelled under his breath, "Besides, Li Zhihua is just a child, your stepmother’s niece, she knows she was wrong. Should I not let go of a child?"

"Just a child?" Ye Qiu laughed even more sarcastically, "This is probably the best excuse modern parents use to avoid responsibility. You say she knows she’s wrong? And the result of recognizing her mistake is more plagiarism and slander against me? If that’s how she recognizes a mistake, it’s really good. What stepmother’s niece? What relation do they have to me? If you must talk about relations, it’s that they’ve offended me. Mr. Zhan, you need to realize your position, you don’t have the least bit of Emotion with me."

"I am your biological Father by blood, that’s not something you can deny just because you want to."

"I truly can deny it. You cheated on my Mom and forced her to divorce, agreed that you wouldn’t be responsible for me, so I don’t need to care for you in old age either. I really can not recognize you," Ye Qiu said very seriously, "Did you think just because you contributed a sperm, you can control my life? Mr. Zhan, are you joking!"

Ye Jing, watching her younger daughter confront Zhan Hui, felt both satisfaction and sadness. What parent wants their child to grow up with such defenses? But it had been beyond their control.

They divorced, but had Zhan Hui taken on any Fatherly responsibilities over the years? He never once came to visit the children voluntarily, when she took Ye Qiu to see Zhan Yao, he would stop them. Those years, the mother and daughter had little money and could only helplessly wait outside the eldest daughter’s school, each time only able to see her briefly.

If Ye Jing hated Zhan Hui during their divorce, after the divorce when he prevented her from visiting the eldest daughter, she wished she could kill him, but the Li family was wealthy and powerful, and she was sick and unable to do anything, only year after year to hope. Hope that the eldest daughter would grow up and escape Zhan Hui and the Li family’s control.

Later, when she finally saw hope, she had no idea it would result in that kind of outcome. Her well-behaved, intelligent eldest daughter, who silently endured at the Li family, had passed away before she could reunite with her and her younger daughter, so she didn’t want to say another word to Zhan Hui, let alone discuss his current purpose for coming here.

"Ye Jing, your daughter is like this and you say nothing?" Zhan Hui said with great restraint, "She’s now somewhat of a public figure, aren’t you afraid she’ll misspeak outside?"

Ye Jing’s expression was calm: "Don’t worry, she only speaks to you this way."

"You..." Zhan Hui initially wanted to reprimand her, but seeing Ye Qiu’s sharp gaze, he held back the words that were about to come out.

He took a deep breath: "Ye Qiu, I know you’re resentful of me for divorcing your Mom back then, I indeed didn’t handle that well, but you’ve grown up. Adult matters aren’t as simple as they appear on the surface. I’ve come back this time to have a good talk with you; your sister is gone, now you’re my only daughter, would I harm you?"

"You can’t be sure," Ye Qiu looked at him coldly. "Just say that your purpose in coming this time is to have me forgive Li Zhihua and withdraw the lawsuit, no need for so many twists and turns talking about Father-daughter relationships, we’re really not at that point. You prioritize your current family, I don’t have any opinion."

"If you insist on thinking this way, there’s nothing I can do." Zhan Hui seemed very weary, his whole demeanor looked a lot more desolate, making it sure to stir the heart of anyone softer.

But Ye Jing had suffered so much from him in the past, and Ye Qiu had been through countless trials as a person, how could they not see through these tricks? Therefore, neither of them had any reaction, quietly watching him perform.

Seeing neither mother nor daughter responding, Zhan Hui’s initial regret turned into resentment, thinking Ye Qiu was led astray by Ye Jing. Otherwise, any average child longs for a Father’s care, why did Ye Qiu show no response at all?

"Whether you believe it or not, I’m doing this for your own good." Zhan Hui continued regardless of the awkwardness, "I know you’ve accomplished a lot now, but do you think that’s sufficient? Why did Jian Lifan take you as his disciple? Probably for fame and fortune. If you act against his wishes, he won’t hesitate to abandon you."

"Next, are you going to say you’re different? Even if you haven’t cared for me before, you’re still my biological father, with the Li family backing you, I don’t need anyone’s support?" Ye Qiu followed his words, and then extremely sarcastically said, "Mr. Zhan, do you think I’m still a child who is easy to deceive? And then you will say it’s to cooperate with the Li family, so I must spare Li Zhihua?"

Ye Qiu "tsk"ed again: "Where’s your face? How can your face be so thick? Why should I forgive Li Zhihua? Why should I give up everything Teacher Jiang has done for me and throw myself into the restrictions of the Li Family? Besides, what qualifications does the Li Family have, do they have higher status in the fashion circle than my teacher? You really have some nerve."

The highest level of confronting someone is to say the words they were about to say, leaving them speechless, and Zhan Hui was now at such a loss for words.
