Before dawn.

Wan Yuqiong’s sudden change in demeanor left Chuxia momentarily stunned, but as soon as she saw the man who entered through the door, she immediately understood what Wan Yuqiong was aiming for.
This only further confirmed to her that she had truly wronged Wan Yuqiong before; she had told her daughter the truth so her daughter wouldn’t drift away due to misunderstandings, and it wasn’t to force Old Master Wan into a compromise.
"What’s going on?" As Father Qian entered, his brow furrowed unconsciously, "It’s rare that I have time to come back for lunch, and as soon as I walk in, I hear you arguing. You claim to be a daughter of a prestigious family, yet what kind of character is this?
You’re upset that I don’t want to take you out, now do you understand why? What a disgrace. Can Dad and Mom really allow you to stay in this house?"
To reprimand Wan Yuqiong right in front of her... Chuxia sighed quietly, feeling more sympathy for Wan Yuqiong, thinking how hard it must have been for her to endure such days for so many years!
"Hello, Uncle Qian." Chuxia greeted Father Qian with a cheerful smile, deliberately glancing at Wan Yuqiong, her eyes filled with schadenfreude.
"Hello..." Father Qian nodded towards Chuxia, "Whose child are you?"
Isn’t he just playing dumb? She didn’t believe for a second that he didn’t know who she was. Wan Yuqiong’s words were so clear just now, and she had called him Uncle Qian. If he couldn’t figure it out, then he’d truly be a fool!
But since he chose to act ignorant, to demonstrate the magnanimity and authority of the family head, she had to cooperate: "Uncle Qian, I’m Lin Chuxia, Wife of Zhou Mikang, Old Master Wan’s god-granddaughter.
I know my unexpected visit today might seem abrupt, but please excuse my filial piety as a younger generation. You should know that Grandpa Wan has always lived with us.
On the surface, it seems he gets along well with us, but in reality, he constantly thinks about Aunt Wan and Sister Yanyan, yet every time they go to see Grandpa Wan, they upset him gravely.
As his juniors, how can they act this way? Don’t you agree? It bothered me, so I came over to talk to Aunt Wan and Sister Yanyan, but unfortunately, they refuse to listen to my advice.
Uncle Qian, I know your authority in this house is unmatched. Perhaps you haven’t noticed how they treat Grandpa Wan previously, or you’re unaware of their actions."
"They actually did such things?" Father Qian’s brow furrowed tightly, looking towards his wife with a sullen face, "You always tell me you’re going to see Dad, even saying Dad doesn’t want to see me—were these all lies? 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
Being so heartless towards your own father, it’s conceivable how you’d treat others then. Wan Yuqiong, I’m giving you a final ultimatum: if you can’t fulfill your duties as a child, don’t blame me for being unkind."
"Didn’t I do it all for you?" Wan Yuqiong looked at him with an expression of grievance, arguing, "My father is indeed too much, always siding with outsiders instead of supporting us.
You might not be angry, but I, as his biological daughter, cannot help but be outraged. This girl obviously benefited, yet comes running here playing innocent. If you believe her words, you’ll truly fall for her trick.
She fears losing my father’s protection, that’s why she is afraid of my relationship with Old Master Wan improving, comes over to question me for show, and when she reports back to Old Master Wan, won’t all the blame be on me?"
"Dad, Mom is telling the truth, I can vouch for her." Qian Yan glared at Chuxia before continuing, "She is exactly as Mom said, benefiting and pretending to be virtuous.
Furthermore, her intentions are too malicious. Dad, you know how close I used to be with Grandma Qi, yet to push Mom and me out of the Wan Family, she visits Grandma Qi every day pretending to be nice.
Making Mom and me seem worthless, at first Grandma Qi didn’t believe it, but now she’s completely deceived by her, hardly speaks a few words when she sees me."
"Enough!" Father Qian shouted, glaring at his wife and daughter, "Regardless of the situation, guests are guests, let alone Comrade Xiao Lin being Old Master Wan’s god-granddaughter. If her intentions weren’t genuinely for Old Master Wan’s benefit, she wouldn’t come over to reason with you.
I’m telling you both, one cannot be too selfish. Old Master Wan has had a tough life, and some things are beyond his control. Stop blaming everything on Old Master Wan."
