Jiang Yi was led upstairs by the nanny.
It wasn't until Jiang Yi's figure had left the living room that Ji Meishu, the current lady of the house, emerged from the crowd.
She approached Elder Chief Jiang and called out softly, "Dad."
Elder Chief didn't even glance her way or spare her a look, saying, "No, I can't bear your call of 'Dad' now. Your biological father was my comrade-in-arms, Elder Ji, who entrusted you to me before his death. I raised you for 13 years, treated you as my own daughter, but you ruined my daughter's marriage and caused her to leave this world prematurely. Our father-daughter affection was severed long ago."
Elder Chief's words were resolute and unsparing.
Hu Zhonglian hurried to smooth things over for his wife, "Dad, why bring this up in front of so many people? Don't you know, in fact, Meishu has always been very concerned about your health."
