It had been a long time since they had last seen each other, but the next time they saw each other, it was like this.
Xia Chun's heart was bleeding like a blade.
Xia Dongqiang approached his step by step and sneered, "Why? Shouldn't you be well aware of this!? Sooner or later, I will make you pay double for everything you have done! "
Xia Dongqiang's gaze was sinister, and saw that she did not have any feelings for father and daughter, as if he was a pair of enemies.
His terrifying eyes made Xia Chun's heart tremble, and his body turned cold.
It was obviously her father, but she had never felt the slightest bit of care from him. She only felt fear and strangers toward him.
She didn't even understand what she did wrong in the beginning, to the point of attracting Xia Dongqiang's disgust.
Xia Chun took a deep breath, and asked with confusion: "I simply don't know what I did wrong, to the point where father wants to treat me like this."
She had almost never come into contact with Xia Dongqiang before, she only knew that this man was her father and that he never gave her the slightest bit of fatherly love.
Xia Dongqiang let out a cold laugh, as faint ridicule suffused across his lips, "Xia Chun, from today onwards, you are no longer my, Xia Dongqiang's, child. You are merely a child born of a mental illness, someone who should be despised by everyone for his entire life!"
Xia Chun's face turned even paler, her body almost knocked into the table by her side, striking her waist.
It made her frown, and she groaned uncontrollably from the pain.
After leaving those vicious words behind, Xia Dongqiang did not stay there for too long. Instead, he returned to the crowd and touched the other companies with a kind expression, giving Xia Chun a hateful look from time to time.
His mind was completely blank. The so-called strong man had cursed her in person from his father's mouth, filled with nothing that had been lost while he was glaring at her in hatred.
She was like a helpless child, innocently looking at the scene in front of her, so obedient that it would make one's heart ache.
Xia Chun, who had lost her soul, looked at them one by one. She could not help but feel some pity in her heart, and as she held the cup tightly in her hands.
He slowly walked towards her, surrounded by the surprised exclamations of the woman.
He was like a prince in a fairy tale, even though his beautiful eyebrows were tightly-knit, even though there was a trace of impatience on his face, it did not affect his overall bearing.
Qi Yunzhe walked to her side, looked down at the woman in front of him with a condescending look, and lightly parted his lips: "Are you treating my words as wind passing by?"
The sudden voice pulled Xia Chun back from her thoughts, and when she raised his head, he saw Qi Yunzhe's gaze on her.
As if she had suffered a great grievance, tears suddenly appeared in her eyes as she bit her lower lip in grievance.
After a long while, Xia Chun finally uttered, "I …" However, she could no longer make a sound.
"Did Xia Dongqiang say something to you just now?" He could faintly guess that Yun Che had insulted her a bit, and even went as far as saying excessive words. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xia Chun to be so absent-minded.
"Yes." Xia Chun nodded.
Xia Chun still vividly remembered those words Xia Dongqiang had scolded her with one sentence. Once she closed her eyes, she witnessed the scene just now as her entire body was surrounded by a sorrowful aura.
She did not want to affect Qi Yunzhe's performance at the banquet because of her.
Xia Chun shrugged her shoulders, pretended to be relaxed and squeezed out a smile, "He said … I am an animal, a child of a psychotic woman, and he would never admit to having a daughter like me. " His heart felt as though it was being torn apart.
Her care and care were nothing in Qi Yunzhe's eyes, he had already seen the pain, and suddenly realised that the woman before him, was not as ignorant as she looked on the surface.
Qi Yunzhe's gaze dimmed, and he faintly parted his lips. "Listen, from today onwards, other than me, you are not allowed to take the words of others to heart."
As his woman, how could she not forget the words of other men? Even her father wouldn't allow it!
The other party was her father. How could she forget? How could she not take it to heart?
Xia Chun was unable to agree to it. She hesitated for a moment, then met the other person's gaze.
Qi Yunzhe did not seem to be in a hurry, and his attitude became slightly warmer, "Did you listen to it?"
Xia Chun was still deep in thought for a long time before she leisurely nodded and said, "I heard it."
Qi Yunzhe reached out and placed his hand on her soft hair, gently stroking it a few times as he said in a low and gentle voice, "Good girl."
Xia Chun did not reject this feeling.
He retracted his hand and looked at his surroundings. His eyes couldn't help but darken a bit as his expression remained as cold as before.
"Remember, you are not allowed to go anywhere except for me." Qi Yunzhe gave the order.
Xia Chun opened her mouth, but in the end she did not say a word.
He had accepted the order to be tyrannical.
"Also, no matter who it is, even if it's your father, when the time comes, don't show mercy. If something happens, I'll reject it."
Her pupils abruptly constricted. In the face of his kindness towards her for no reason, her heart was incomparably moved.
Like a blossoming flower, Xia Chun smiled sweetly, "I won't be lenient anymore." Each word was firm.
By Qi Yunzhe's side, Xia Dongqiang did not dare to be presumptuous. Despite being praised as being sensible and kind by others, she still maintained a respectful attitude.
Her thoughts were still on the matter just now. Xia Chun clearly knew in her heart that Xia Dongqiang had already spurned her a thousand times over, and now there was even a group of smiling tigers in front of him.
Without any outsiders surrounding him, Qi Yunzhe smiled, "Father-in-law, long time no see."
The meaning behind his words.
But calling Xia Dongqiang his father in law, was giving him enough face.
Quite a few? Humph!
They had met once in a basement in Africa a week ago, and Xia Dongqiang would never forget the scene that day.
"My good son-in-law, it's been a long time since father-in-law has seen you."
"The reason I let you attend the banquet as the person in charge of the Xia Family isn't to listen to your nonsense." Qi Yunzhe's face instantly turned cold.
Xia Dongqiang's face froze, he did not understand what Qi Yunzhe meant.
"However, I have always forgotten to tell you that the Xia clan's performance is still as it is now. I can replace another person in charge at any time." Disregarding everyone present, Qi Yunzhe coldly said.
The Xia clan had suffered a large drop in their marketing over the past week. At this rate, the Xia clan was in imminent danger and was on the verge of bankruptcy.
But facing Qi Yunzhe's merciless accusation, Xia Dongqiang's face was ashen, his face sweeping the floor, and he was infuriated.
However, Qi Yunzhe's current ability could not be shaken, so he endured his anger and followed his lead.
"What my son-in-law taught you is right. I'll listen to your commands and properly get the Xia clan's results up and down. I definitely won't let down on your nurturing of the Xia clan."
