Weilan was stunned, waiting for the phone to ring, but she didn't answer.
The calls came relentlessly, several times in succession, all from her father Shen Tianming.
On the fifth attempt, Weilan finally answered.
She had expected to hear a voice full of accusations and swearing on the other end, but instead, it was her father's sigh, "Weilan, it's Dad!"
This time, Tianming's tone was very subdued; it lacked the usual arrogance and coldness.
But his softened approach didn't make Weilan's heart any more tender.
She hadn't forgotten that Qiao Jingchen was beaten up because of her father's instigation, nor had she forgotten that it was her father who had people threaten Qiao Jingchen, leading to the distance between her and Jingchen.
In Weilan's eyes, no matter what, the Qiao Family had raised her for fifteen years, and instead of being grateful, Tianming had targeted the only child of the Qiao Family, which was deeply hurtful!
