“You!”


  Shen Yong choked. When he came back to his senses, he was even more furious. “Am I wrong? Having a daughter like you has really embarrassed me! Your sister came to your house out of goodwill to advise you, yet you still dared to fight with her! I really regret not strangling you when you were born back then!”


  “Did you think I want to be your daughter?”


  Shen Hanxing thought that her heart would not hurt anymore. However, when she heard Shen Yong’s words, a dense pain still spread from the depths of her heart. This was her biological father, who had not raised her for a single day. When she was in trouble, he would simply hate her for being born and embarrassing him.

  She was a living person, yet she could not compare to his illusory and intangible pride.

  “What I want to do is my business. I have not yet reached the stage where I need to be educated by the daughter of a mistress. Since you called, I’ll let you know this now. Tell Shen Sisi that today was just an ordinary slap. The next time she comes to me, I’ll directly destroy that face of hers that she values the most!” Shen Hanxing threatened darkly.

  “You unfilial daughter!” Shen Yong, who had always been flattered by others, could not accept her attitude. He angrily said, “You’ve really gotten rebellious. You are such a disgrace. Let me tell you this, don’t even think about entering the Shen family again in this lifetime. I don’t have a daughter like you!”


  Shen Hanxing’s eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze. Her heart felt empty and painful. Just as she was about to speak, her phone was taken away by someone. Ji Yan sat in his wheelchair with an icy expression. “Mr. Shen, is it? Hello, I am Ji Yan.”


  Shen Yong’s voice on the other end of the phone suddenly paused.

  Ji Yan, the person in charge of the Ji family, was an existence who could do whatever he wanted in the business world. Even if his legs were disabled now, he was definitely not someone a person like Shen Yong could disregard.

  “Mr-Mr. Ji,” Shen Yong subconsciously felt that Ji Yan wanted to interrogate him. Thus, Shen Yong explained in a panic, “It’s my fault for not being strict with my daughter. Please forgive me, Mr. Ji. Please do not worry. No matter how you deal with Shen Hanxing, the Shen family will not have any objections.”


  “The Shen family is indeed not strict with their daughter,” Ji Yan’s eyes were cold. “Fortunately, my wife did not grow up in the Shen family, so she grew up to be so outstanding. If she had grown up in the Shen family, then I would have suffered a great loss. I would have lost a wife who was so outstanding that everyone was jealous of her.”


  Shen Yong suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He asked, “Mr. Ji?”


  “My wife is now a member of the Ji family. No one can point at a Ji family member and scold them,” Ji Yan warned in a low voice. “They are raised but not taught. Since you have not paid attention to my wife in the past nineteen years, there is no need for you to be responsible for her now. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being biased as I will ask you to give my wife an explanation for all these.”


  Shen Yong’s entire body trembled, and large drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Ji Yan did not care about Shen Yong’s reaction on the other side of the phone. Ji Yan hung up with a cold face and then handed back the phone to Shen Hanxing.

  “You…” Shen Hanxing’s expression was complicated, and she wanted to say something but she hesitated. She continued, “You actually don’t have to be like this.”


  “There’s no reason for me to pretend to be deaf and turn a blind eye when other people bully my wife,” Ji Yan did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he did. He simply lightly said, “Don’t be afraid, I will take care of everything.” He said it nonchalantly as though it was just a casual remark. However, Shen Hanxing knew that with his personality, he would definitely keep his word. This was Ji Yan’s protection for her, and also his promise to her.

  In the slums, she was the king of children, everyone’s ‘Sister Hanxing’. She would always have to stand in front and face the storms of life. Only by fighting her way through the thorns would she be able to find a small space to survive in this tough and cold world. But now, when she stood in front of him, she seemed to have become an unarmed young girl. Even though his legs had not recovered yet, he had already stood in front of her and helped her block all the storms.

  For a moment, Shen Hanxing’s emotions were complicated and her heart was warm.

  This feeling was very strange, but it was not annoying. Shen Hanxing lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, she gently nodded, “Okay.”


  However, at this time, her phone suddenly vibrated again, and new articles were released. The accompanying picture showed Shen Hanxing getting out of the police car. She was with a group of delinquents who had bruises on their faces. They looked like they were being lectured by the police.

  Ji Yan also saw the latest articles. He looked at Shen Hanxing with a faint smile. “I just found out that you bought your drink from the police station, my wife.”


  Being caught lying on the spot, Shen Hanxing felt a rare sense of guilt. She subconsciously laughed dryly. “This, I think I can explain.”
