Song Jingren was slapped a few times and was thoroughly embarrassed. At this moment, his expression was somewhat hideous.
âDad, quickly wipe yourself.â Jiang Fengya was so anxious that her eyes were red. âAuntie, this is all my fault. Donât blame Dad.
âI didnât want to ruin your relationship. I just wanted my father to acknowledge me. If youâre not happy with it, I can leave.â
She sounded like she was about to cry, and people who saw her couldnât help feeling pity for her.
âWhy are you begging her? Youâre my daughter. Whatâs wrong with me acknowledging you and having you return to your own family?â Song Jingren said while wiping his face. Since they had already fallen out, he didnât bother hiding it anymore.
Qiao Aiyun took a deep breath and was about to flare up when Song Fengwan grabbed her arm.
âMom, drink something to soothe your throat first. If you get angry with her, people will say that youâre bullying the young.â Song Fengwan smiled as she stuffed a cup of warm water into her motherâs hands and then turned her head to look at Jiang Fengya.
Jiang Fengyaâs heart skipped a beat.
She had been humiliated by Song Fengwan before and had seen how formidable she was. Now that she met Song Fengwanâs gaze, coupled with her guilty conscience, she inevitably felt a little timid and lost to Song Fengwan on their auras.
âI donât know if youâve been on the internet recently, but there have been a lot of rumors. Theyâre all talking about how I used despicable means to frame you and how I was trying to steal your man. They say that Iâm young but already so selfish and vicious and that I deserve to be abandoned.â
Jiang Fengya shook her head. âThereâs such a thing?â
âFu Yuxiu and I were engaged for more than a year. After we broke off our engagement, he hooked up with you in the blink of an eye. At the time, you had only been in Yuncheng for less than two months. Who do you think was the one who deliberately seduced him?â Song Fengwan smiled innocently.
âHeâs my senior. He was just helping me out of goodwill. We got together only after he broke off your engagement,â she argued through gritted teeth.
âYou accepted gifts and help from a man you didnât know, and he drove you to and from work. He even gave you bonuses during your summer job. You accepted all of this with a clear conscience. Donât you think youâre very slutty?â
The people here knew very little about these minor details. Hearing Song Fengwan say this, they all shook their heads.
Song Jingren praised her for working to earn her own money and for how sensible she was.
But from the looks of it now, the job was merely for seducing a man. But they actually used this to show off?
Theyâre really so thick-skinned.
âEveryone in Yuncheng knew that I was engaged to him, yet you insisted on getting together with him. Is there really such a coincidence in this world? Jiang Fengya, are you taking people for fools?
âYou donât have to be wary of me all day as if youâre guarding against a thief. Just because you treasure this man doesnât mean that everyone likes him.
âI find him dirty!â
Song Fengwan wasnât polite at all. It was as if the man that Jiang Fengya tried her best to guard was something she didnât want.
â⦠I met him coincidentally. How can this kind of thing be controlled?â Jiang Fengya still refused to give in.
She knew in her heart that if she admitted defeat now, it meant that she had deliberately seduced him. If news of this spread, the Fu family wouldnât want her.
âItâs okay if you donât admit to it. Letâs talk about being acknowledged by your father.â Song Fengwan was neither anxious nor impatient. âYou just want to be acknowledged by your father and donât want to destroy my family, and you never even wanted to enter this family?â
âI didnât want to hold the filiation banquet. But Dad, heâ¦â Jiang Fengya said with some grievance in her voice.
âDoes that mean you werenât willing?â Song Fengwan asked.
âI know who I am, so I didnât want to make a big deal out of it.â
âIn that case, I really want to ask you this properly. Does snatching my fiancé not satisfy you? You want to snatch everything from me.â Song Fengwan changed the topic.
âI didnât. Iâ¦â
Jiang Fengya was about to quibble when Song Fengwan stepped forward and grabbed the gemstone necklace around her neck. âI would like to ask where this came from?â
âThisâ¦â Her lips were going pale and trembling.
âYou canât explain it, right? Then let me explain. This is mine. On my fifteenth birthday, my cousin personally went overseas to purchase the gemstone and personally designed this for me. Why is it on your neck?â
When Jiang Fengya saw the necklace in Song Fengwanâs room, she thought it looked pretty and liked it a lot. Furthermore, the gemstone was very big, and she wanted to keep it for herself. She never expected it to be Song Fengwanâs birthday present.
âYou were in my room when I wasnât home? What you meant by not snatching, is it going into someone elseâs room to take their stuff?â
âI allowed it.â Song Jingren defended her directly. âItâs just a necklace. Wanwan, no matter what, sheâs your elder sister!â
âThis necklace is mine. Even if you are my father, you have no right to decide what to do with it,â Song Fengwan retorted. Song Jingrenâs face flushed red in anger.
âEntering someone elseâs room without permission is already having no manners.
âMoreover⦠Youâre a thief if you take something without asking. I donât have a sister whoâs a thief. I can call the police to arrest you right now!â
The two people opposite her instantly turned ashen-faced.
Being ridiculed by his daughter, Song Jingren almost choked. âSong Fengwan, Iâm your father! How can you say that?!â
He raised his hand, wanting to hit her.
But Song Fengwan didnât look afraid at all and went up to him directly. âHit me if you dare. Come on.
âYou were the one who cheated, and you even brought your illegitimate daughter home. Have you ever cared about my feelings?
âYouâre proud and egoistic. Thatâs why I worked hard and studied hard so that you wouldnât be embarrassed. Did you think I really didnât want to go out and play? After the engagement broke off and I went to Beijing, how many times have you called me? Have you ever cared about me?
âIâm not capable enough to keep Fu Yuxiu, so you donât want me anymore.
âNow youâre saying that youâre my father? Are you qualified to say that?â
Song Fengwanâs eyes were red, and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she held them back forcefully.
âSong Jingren, if you dare to lay your hands on her today, weâll fight to the death here.â Qiao Aiyun protected her. âFor the sake of benefits, youâre really shameless to the extreme.â
âJiang Fengya, didnât you say that you could leave if my mother was unhappy? Youâre not blind. My mother is very unhappy nowâ¦â Song Fengwan pursed her lips and smiled. Her beautiful phoenix eyes revealed a hint of cleverness. âSo, can you get out of here now?â
