Chapter 85: Father and Daughter Confrontation

This was clearly his daughter.

She looked a lot like that hateful wife who was already dead.

But the faint smile at the corner of her mouth was glaring.

Jiang Meng Qing desperately searched his mind for what his unlikable eldest daughter used to be like, but for some reason, the more he tried to think, the less he could remember.

His eldest daughter had almost no presence and a very timid personality. Whenever she saw him, she would hide as far away as possible, like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn’t want to see her either.

Naturally, he had never corrected her behavior, so the impression she left in his mind grew thinner and thinner, colder and colder.

Right now, he couldn’t even remember what she used to be like.

He looked at Jiang Shi Yue again, a little startled, and for no reason he felt that this was what she looked like – her real self!

That realization made Jiang Meng Qing furious.

But before he could keep warning her, Jiang Shi Yue slowly straightened the hem of her skirt.

That made Jiang Meng Qing’s gaze fall on her priceless evening gown, and his face turned even more livid.

Jiang Shi Yue spoke in a careless tone, “First, I need to correct one thing. Little Fu really is pursuing me, but his pursuit isn’t enough to make me feel superior. I’ve also never felt any sense of achievement from throwing my weight around in this house. But your attitude today is really strange. Logically, a person like you who likes to sell his daughter for glory shouldn’t be wearing that expression, so I’m very confused.”

As soon as she finished, Jiang Meng Qing looked even worse. His face went green, then white, then green again, changing colors nonstop.

He couldn’t help blurting out, “What selling your daughter for glory? You unfilial wretch!”

Jiang Shi Yue’s eyes curved as she smiled. “The Zhou Family’s eldest young master is more than ten years older than me, and his reputation is awful. You wanted me to marry into the Zhou Family, and the Zhou Family has always been someone the Jiang Family sucked up to. If that’s not selling your daughter for glory, what is it? Now it’s just changing to a different family. I would think you should be happy, but you’re so furious that it doesn’t really add up.”

“The Jiang Family raised you to this age. Isn’t it only right that you do whatever I ask? What right or standing do you have to accuse me of this now?”

Jiang Shi Yue calmly raised an index finger and smiled as she wagged it. “That’s not right. When my mother married into the Jiang Family, she didn’t just bring a company, she also brought a lot of businesses and property. My mom died early, and what she left behind was enough to support me and my brother. Don’t go stealing my mother’s credit. If she knew in the afterlife, she would definitely be unhappy…”

“Speaking of that, I want to ask you, Father, what is really going on with my brother? With the wealth of the Jiang Family and my maternal grandfather’s family, couldn’t you let my brother stay in the best care facility?”

By the end, her tone was still unhurried, but Jiang Shi Yue’s gaze carried a chill. Whether on purpose or not, the air in the hall seemed to cool.

Cold sweat instantly broke out across Jiang Meng Qing’s back.

He glared at Jiang Shi Yue, while Jiang Shi Yue looked back at him at ease.

Jiang Meng Qing abruptly stood up and pointed at her with a trembling finger, furious. “Let me tell you, Jiang Shi Yue, I’m your father. I can treat you however I want, including your brother. And don’t think that just because you’ve latched onto Fu Qing Han you can climb over my head. I’ll never like you. Haven’t you seen your name? I picked it casually, so you need to know your place!”
