Chapter 263 - 263 Used To Get Scolding.
Ji Xuan gave his wife a cold stare and made the latter shut up. He stood up and reprimanded his son, "Xiao Lan, how many times have I told you?! You are a man! You can\'t hug a woman like this even if they have a blood relation with you!"
Hearing the man\'s icy tone, the boy\'s enthusiasm deemed a little. When he wanted to break away, Ji Yanli put her hand on his back and whispered, "It\'s okay to hug sis sometimes, just don\'t do it in front of baba. He doesn\'t like this, okay?"
"I know it, sis. But even then, I wanted to. It\'s fine to get scolded by him once in a while. I am used to it, hehe~" Ji Shuai Lan showed his angelic smile and broke away from her embrace. In the midst, he gave his sister a critical hit.
"Ow~"
Ji Xuan was turned angrier by the two children of his. When he ordered them to get separate, instead of following that those brats started to whisper in front of him!
Even though he knew he shouldn\'t get angry, he felt as if those two were mocking him!
"Xiao Lan, go back to your room. Father has something to discuss with your sister. Until I say, don\'t come down!" Ji Xuan snorted in anger, "And you, Yanli, come to my library! Right now!"
After Ji Xuan finished, he left the place in large strides and went to his library. Mother Ji turned off the TV and came to stand beside Ji Yanli. She rubbed her arm and murmured, "Your father isn\'t in a good mood. After old master Sheng has taken his words back, he has become somewhat disappointed."
Ji Yanli didn\'t want to listen to her. "Ma, you always try to explain him but baba should have discussed it with me before agreeing in my stead. It\'s not my fault if he is angry!"
Among everyone, the one who was affected the most was her. Ji Yanli\'s name was dragged into the mud by some people and she didn\'t like this feeling of being mistreated by her people.
"He didn\'t even step forward when that news related to me and Yan Luhan got public!"
In frustration, Ji Yanli threw her purse on the sofa and put off her outer suit. After she took large breaths, she went to the library while Ji Shuai Lan and mother Ji went upstairs.
After entering the library, both of them turned silent. Ji Yanli was standing before the desk, being sharply observed by her father and she hates this feeling the most.
It\'s as if she had returned to her high school life, waiting before her teacher to get scolded.
Ji Xuan\'s eyes flashed when he saw her getting distracted even when he was before her. He opened a little drawer and then threw a black card to Ji Yanli\'s face.
"I suspect that you are my daughter! How can you get dumped by a man?! Where is your pride as a family member of my Ji family!"
The card was quite heavy. Even then, it hit Ji Yanli\'s face and made her forehead a little bruised. But even then, Ji Yanki didn\'t move and stood still.
"Father, it\'s not my fault. Also, I and Ruming weren\'t in any kind of relationship so getting dumped by him is out of the question…"
Ji Yanli didn\'t budge in her place as she stared straight at Ji Xuan\'s face, her phoenix eyes were looking straight into her father\'s eyes.
"It\'s not as simple as getting dumped!" The middle-aged man took a deep breath and continued, "Before I thought you had feelings for him so I let you go and work as his errand. When his father contacted me, he offered me many future business collaborations as long as you marry into their family…"
"It\'s…" Ji Yanli was speechless by the situation. \'Why did Uncle Sheng do that?! It has only put me in a hot pan!\'
It was not her fault yet her father was talking in a way like she was the main culprit behind all of this.
"Do you even have any idea?! If I could have those proposals, my family\'s business would have prospered a hundredfold. Now everything is ruined! The golden opportunity!... Why did I spend so much on you if you can\'t even help in improving my business, huh?!"
The man banged on the desk hardly. Ji Yanli saw it using her noninterested eyes.
Ji Yanli felt numb hearing this. On top of that, rather than becoming angry, she was feeling bored out of her wits.
"Father, it\'s not the first time for you to know that I am a useless daughter!" She patted her mouth as she yawned.
"In the past, I have also rejected in front of everyone the child marriage contract between the Ji and Wang family. Have you already forgotten? Also, the Mu family\'s scoundrel who wanted to buy me was bruised heavily till he coughed blood… and… there are more..."
When the man heard those past incidents, a trigger was turned on in his head. When Ji Yanli saw his face, she panicked, \'Have I gone too far? But I was helping him to remember~ \'
In the next second, Ji Xuan took some books beside his hand and threw them towards her.
"Get out, you unfaithful- useless daughter!"
"Ouch! Ah! I am going! Going!" Ji Yanli\'s leg was hit by the books as she hurried to exit the room.
"Don\'t let me see your face again." Ji Xuan threw more books towards her in anger.
Ji Yanli left the room and closed the door. Abruptly, Ji Xuan fell on the king-size leather chair, "This girl! As a father, I feel as if I have invested in the wrong seedling all along. Even adopting a girl would have proven better!"
Amid his whispering, the library\'s door creaked open. Ji Yanli popped out her head and declared heroically, "Father! I swear on the name of your favourite \'Panda Chewing Bamboo\' painting that you won\'t see this beautiful face anymore!"
