CHAPTER 546

"You have done enough in ruining me and my company, Li Xiu!"

It was one thing to hear her mother yell at her and it was another to hear him yell at her.

All her life she had looked up to him, yearned for his love and attention but what did she actually get? An illegitimate sister as his love. Now she had to share everything with Li Jing and compete for his love, so she thought.

So whenever he got mad at her, she would really take it to heart that she had hurt her father dearly and even up till this point in time, when he got disappointed in her, she felt like the world was actually crumbling down on her.

"You are still standing there?" His yell broke her out of her reverie but she still did not move.

Right now Li Xiu was scared out of her wits on what to do. Should she run and escape his outrage or face it head-on and stop being scared.

She took her time contemplating o what to do that she failed to notice him walk towards her until her mother's yell pulled her back to the present.

"Li Xiu! Run!"

She was lucky enough to have gotten herself back before his hands actually came down on her and she dashed past him and headed straight for the stairs.

"Li Xiu, come here. Since you say you want to be a spoilt brat, I would teach you a lesson."

"Li Chun, leave her alone. Li Chun don't you dare harm my daughter!" Ding Jiying yelled from behind as she too chased after the father and daughter pair.

Li Xiu ran as fast as her feet could take her and went to hide in her room, locking the door and pushing her chair on it.

"Li Xiu! Open up!" Li Chun commended.

"No, father. I won't Not until you calm down first."

"Li Xiu! Do not test my patience girl. I said open up!"

"No. Stop being mad. Please. I hate seeing you this way. Please. I'm sorry."

"Sorry? You should have thought about being sorry first when you were out there spoiling our family name than coming to say sorry here."

"No, sincerely, I am. Please."

By now her eyes stung so much. This was the first time her father was really getting into a fit because of her and she did not like it one bit.

She knew he was mad but more importantly, he looked like he was about to kill someone and she did not want to wait to find out if she was that person first or not.

"Please," her voice broke. "I am sorry dad but believe me, I did nothing of that sort."

"Oh, now you have the guts to lie, huh?"

BANG BANG!

"Dad, please stop."

"Li Chun, listen to your daughter. Please stop this madness, now," Ding Jiaying pleaded, holding his hand and trying to pull him away from the door.

"Get away from me." He pushed her away from him and sneered at her where she fell to the ground. "I should kill her now so that I know I do not have any daughter that would disgrace me."

"No."

Fetting back up, she rushed at him again and held onto his arm. "Li Chun, honey please stop this nonsense now. Stop it."

"Father, please.."

"How can you say you want to kill your daughter? If you are tired of her, then please do not kill her for me."

"Woman get away from here or I would lump you in with her and actually do unto you what I wish to do to her."

"Kill me if you must but leave Li Xiu alone. She is the only jewel I have. The only child you managed to give me. So please hmm, do not make me motherless at this my early age."

"Then since you are young, you can birth another one and hopefully your womb produces something good."

"LI CHUN!!" In anger she pushed him away with all the strength she could muster and spread herself before the door.

"Ding Jiaying!"

"I would not give way. Can you hear yourself? How can a father say he wants to kill his child and you want me as a mother to do nothing? You, can you give me another child? If you could wouldn't you have done so? Instead, you ignore me and travel for months, in the name of business, sleeping around."

"What?"

"Yes. All those times I did not catch you but your infidelity came out with Li Jing. And what did you do? You still did not stop and carried on."

Li Chun looked at her in confusion. How was her brain wired he wondered.

"So before you judge your daughter, judge yourself. If you want to kill me, kill me, but you would not get to her. And if you try, she would call the police so you can spend your life in jail." novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

"What?"

"Yes, Haven't I tolerated all of your excesses enough? Haven't I? I have had enough of you Li Chun. Enough is enough!"

He scoffed, standing straight and glaring at her. "It is no wonder she became how she was. Like mother like daughter. I do not blame you. Believe what rubbish you want but at least I have married you. Look at her, who would marry her with such scandal hanging on her name?"

"She would find a wealthy husband and when she does, please do not show your face to her."

"Wealthy husband. Sigh you two are all about money. Money, money. What good are you two? You can't work and help the family yet you want to use your daughter, make her use her body to give you wealth."

Rather than get mad at his words, Ding Jiaying threw her face away but maintained her stance at the door.

"In fact, no need wasting my time on you two. You deserve each other. Help her ruin her life further."

With that, he shook his head and darted his gaze back to the door. "Li Xiu, I say this for your own good. Change your ways and stop with this crooked lifestyle of yours.. A word is enough for the wise."
