He had been convinced that Ji Ruyan was his daughter from the beginning, which was why he had agreed to the promissory note, but now that it was proven she was not his daughter, how could he willingly spit out such a large sum of silver?
Ji Ruyan's words were like knowing exactly where he hurt and ruthlessly poking there, causing him intense pain, yet he was forced to endure it.
