“Dad, don’t speak so heartlessly. I suggested you find a way to go back to work at the Mei family for your own good.”
Chen Guo continued to persuade, “Dad, just look at where you’re staying now. If my mom finds out you brought me here, will she still agree to let me see you in the future? Do you want several more years to pass without seeing me?”
Chen Feng’s expression remained unchanged as he coldly said, “Guoguo, when your mom and 1 divorced, you were still young. You couldn’t find me and Dad didn’t blame you. But now that you’re grown up, with someone you like, do you still need your mom’s permission to see your biological father? If you really want to see me, no matter what your mom says, you could come!”
“Dad, are you saying that you don’t want me to come in the future?” Chen Guo suddenly became distant and indifferent.
Chen Feng was choked by her words and, holding onto the door frame, shook his head in pain. “Okay, you’re good. I really didn’t expect you to become just like your mom, disliking poverty and loving wealth!”
“We want to become wealthy, to enjoy the best life as wealthy people. What’s wrong with that?” Chen Guo retorted harshly. “But you, after living for over forty years, finally secured a good job, and you let yourself be laid off so easily. You don’t even have the courage to stand up for yourself. No wonder my mom chose to leave you back then!”
“Say that again!” Chen Feng raised his hand and wanted to slap her, but he couldn’t bring himself to hit his own daughter’s face.
Chen Guo hugged her shoulders, as if she had expected this all along, and her eyes were full of disdain. “Let me say it one last time: either you come with me to the Mei family now, beg them to continue employing you as their chef, or you will never see me again in your life!”
“1 won’t go!” Chen Feng roared weakly. “Leave, and 1 can pretend 1 have no such daughter. We have no relationship from now on, whether 1 live or die!”
“Fine, I’m leaving!” Chen Guo coldly snorted, gave him a fierce glare, then turned and left.
Chen Feng instinctively wanted to catch up a few steps, but reason made him stop in his tracks. He couldn’t move his legs forward and could only watch his daughter’s figure gradually disappear at the door, followed by the merciless slam of the door.
In the Mei family, the siblings were having dinner. The newly hired chef was indeed a five-star chef, and the dishes he prepared were incomparable to what Chen Feng could make.
Mei Yan was enjoying his meal, but he couldn’t help but express his nostalgia, “Sis, I kind of miss Uncle Chen’s cooking. Where did he go? Can’t he come back?”
“Silly Yanyan, the dishes made by our new chef are also delicious. He even knows how to balance nutrition. Try this dish.” Mei Shu used her chopsticks to pick up some and fed it to him.
Mei Yan obediently finished his food, his eyes lighting up. “Indeed! Sis, you should eat more too.”
“Okay!” Mei Shu indulgently agreed.
At this moment, Zhao Yan walked in from outside, and his gaze couldn’t help but glance at Mei Jing. “Miss, Young Master Jing, Chen Feng’s daughter, Chen Guo, is clamoring to come in. Should I send her away immediately?”
Mei Jing, who was annoyed by her earlier, didn’t want to deal with her again. He waved his hand impatiently. “Send her away, send her away. Her father is no longer here. What kind of place does she think this is? She wants to come in whenever she pleases?”
“Xiao Jing, she is your classmate after all,” Mei Shu, with a smile, calmed down her younger brother and said to Zhao Yan, “Uncle Zhao, let her in. If she hasn’t eaten yet, let her sit down and have some food with us.”
“Sis!” Mei Jing couldn’t believe what he heard from Mei Shu. “Your temper is just too good! She was clearly provoking you in front of you, and you’re not angry at all?”
Mei Shu smiled. “Why should i be angry? In the end, didn’t I win?”
Mei Jing thought that it was true, so he lowered his head and ate quietly without saying anything else.
He used to treat Chen Guo as his good friend, but when Chen Guo mocked Mei Shu as her imaginary enemy, Mei Jing had already decided to cut ties with her.
Even the most careless Mei Jing gradually discovered that Chen Guo wasn’t as good as he imagined. Instead, she was somewhat two-faced, had too high an opinion of herself and was quite annoying.
Today, he even found out that she bullied classmates in school using his name! “Sis, Jing!”
Chen Guo came in with an urgent look on her face. There were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.”
After speaking, she bowed deeply to the three of them.
Mei Jing was confused. “Why are you apologizing to us?”
Chen Guo stood up straight, tears glistening, “I just came from my father. He is not doing well now. Although 1 don’t know what he did wrong to be dismissed by you, no matter what he did, I’m willing to apologize on his behalf.. 1 just can’t bear to see my father continue to live in such a place!”
