Ye Ying was stunned. She covered her face and stared at Ye Zhifan in disbelief. After a few seconds, she questioned loudly, “Dad, what are you doing? Why aren’t you sleeping at night? Why did you come over and slap me?

“What did I do wrong to upset you?”

“You still have the cheek to ask me what you did wrong?” Ye Zhifan slapped Ye Ying’s left cheek without stopping. The two slaps left ten red finger marks on Ye Ying’s left and right cheeks.

Ye Ying’s eyes widened as tears welled up in her almond-shaped eyes. She roared. “Am I your biological daughter? You slapped me twice without distinguishing between right and wrong. Dad, are you trying to kill me?”

“If you weren’t my biological daughter, I would’ve strangled you to death now!” Ye Zhifan was too angry. His face was as red as a pig’s liver. He had used all his strength to slap her twice. His vision turned black.

Feeling wronged, Ye Ying burst into tears. “I’m not your daughter! I’m not your daughter! I want to go back to the Southern Province. I want to find my mother!” She was as aggrieved as a five or six-year-old child. She clamored for Sun Dongqing.

“When have you ever treated me as your biological daughter? All you know is to compare me to Ye Jian. You say that I’m inferior to her and degrade me to nothing. Now, you’re even beating me up. Dad, when have you ever treated me as your daughter?!”

After being slapped twice for no reason, Ye Ying felt like she was a child who didn’t have parents to dote on her. She shouted until her eyes were about to pop out.

Ye Zhifan looked at his daughter coldly. The anger in his heart didn’t disappear. Instead, it intensified.

He didn’t understand how his daughter became like this today. When she was young, she was clearly smart and loved by everyone.

At that time, he thought it was fine even if he didn’t have a son. If he had a smart daughter, as long as he nurtured her well, she would be better than any son.

He really thought so back then!

But now?

He regretted it!

‘I regret it!’

He regretted not finding a son to bring home. He regretted raising such a shameless thing!

She still had the cheek to shout at him!

She had no shame!

After the lights in the room were turned out, the bright and luxurious crystal chandelier lit up. Ye Ying, who was screaming, could see how ugly Ye Zhifan’s expression was.

But she didn’t understand what she had done wrong during the day. There was no way she could accept being slapped twice in the middle of the night.

Tomorrow, she still had to go to the Du family to accompany Madam Li. Tomorrow, she had to get to know the young masters and young ladies of powerful families. How could she face them after being slapped twice?

“…You keep saying that I’m your daughter, but do you think of me as your daughter? You know how important tomorrow is to me, but you slapped me twice when you came in. Can I still go and meet anyone tomorrow? How will I show my face in public?

“Is that b*tch Ye Jian your daughter? All you do is say that she’s better than me. When did you say that I was good? Never!”

The more she accused him, the angrier Ye Zhifan became. He pointed at Ye Ying and shouted, “Tell me what you did in France!”

W-What?

F-F-France?
