nFortunately for her, there was a street with shops selling snacks not far from the restaurant. Without much thought, she walked over.

nAfter eating, it was 1.30 pm.

nSince it was her rest day, she thought she would ask Xingchen out.

nShe took out her mobile phone and called her good friend, Bei Xingchen.

nSpending the whole afternoon shopping, she looked at the time and it was five in the evening.

nAfter saying goodbye to her good friend, Zuo Weiyi took the bus back to Jingyuan District.

nStepping into the house, she saw Jiang Huaiyuan sitting on the couch with a grumpy expression on his face.

nZuo Qing stood up quickly when she saw her daughter. She walked up to her with a worried expression and asked, “Weiyi, didn’t you have lunch with Mr. Lin?”

nZuo Weiyi shook her head and admitted, “No, something happened…”

n“Weiyi! Tell me, how did you offend Mr. Lin? Didn’t I tell you to treat Mr. Lin well?”

nBefore she could finish her sentence, Jiang Huaiyuan stood up from the couch and roared at Zuo Weiyi.

nFacing her father’s blame, Zuo Weiyi couldn’t help but clench her fists.

nWhen he needed her, he was nice to her, but now that things hadn’t gone as planned, he was blaming her!

nFurthermore, it was not that she didn’t want to have lunch with him, but it was Mr. Lin who had left!

nHowever, if that Mr. Shi had not uttered nonsense, she believed Mr. Lin wouldn’t have left.

nThen again, who was that Mr. Shi? Why was it that when Lin Hao saw him, it was as if he had seen the heavenly emperor?

nThis thought sent her deeper into her thoughts.

nHer lack of response infuriated Jiang Huaiyuan further!

n“Tell me, how did you offend him? Today, he called me to say he refuses to sign the contract with us. He also said that I wanted to get him into trouble. What happened? Did you hit Mr. Lin?”

nJiang Huaiyuan knew his daughter well. When she was angry, she would not keep quiet no matter what.

nMr. Lin had probably called and scolded him because he wanted to do something to Weiyi but she refused and gave him a lecture instead!

nJiang Huaiyuan believed this to be the reason.

nZuo Weiyi was cold toward her father who had not performed his responsibilities well.

n“This morning, you were all smiles and flattery. Now that things didn’t go as planned, your attitude has changed entirely. So, am I only a tool for your deals?”

nUpon hearing this, Jiang Huaiyuan stared blankly and he noticed how his words were a little too extreme.

nZuo Qing, who was beside them, could feel the pain when she looked at her daughter’s eyes. She turned around and looked at Jiang Huaiyuan.

nMr. Jiang, don’t be angry. Weiyi may…”

n“What Mr. Jiang?” Before her mother could finish talking, Zuo Weiyi roared. Looking at her mother, her dark eyes were covered with a layer of pain.

n“You devoted your entire life to him and bore his child. But until now, you still call him Mr. Jiang! Why do you allow yourself to live so lowly? It is he who did you wrong and not the other way around, do you understand?”

nHer words were like a sharp knife, stabbing Zuo Qing’s chest violently.

nShe lowered her eyes and tears filled her eyes silently.

nZuo Weiyi turned and stared at Jiang Huaiyuan furiously.

nStill furious, she hissed, “I screwed up the whole thing, so what? The ones who are staying in the Jiang family home right now are not Mother and I. Why should I help you?”
