Wu Dafu felt his face burning. This was utterly ridiculous! For so many years, he had been flattered by others, and now a young man was speaking directly to his face like this. Of course, his expression wasn’t pleasant, but this was all his daughter’s doing, and what could he do except apologize, though reluctantly?
"My daughter talks nonsense, please don’t take it to heart. She’s young and inexperienced with the world, please don’t mind her."
Han Dong replied, "Not that young. Sun Chan is one or two years younger than her and is already married with a job. You spoiling your daughter is fine, but don’t let it affect my life, right?"
Wu Dafu held his nose and apologized. Han Dong chatted with him a bit more before hanging up. Wu Dafu was so angry he threw the phone, which shattered the glass tabletop in half.
"Ridiculous! That damned brat!" His chest rose and fell, his eyes fired up, not knowing whether he was talking about Han Dong or his own daughter.
Wu Dafu’s eyes sinisterly stared out the window; he hadn’t been this furious in years. Just you wait!
Han Dong naturally knew that saying such things meant he could never cooperate with Wu Dafu again. But since he knew the other’s motives, he was tired of pretending to get along. What are you, nothing! Just because you’re older and have some background, you think you can make me go your way? How shameless are you!
Trying to undermine Sun Chan, swallow my family property, and want to shove your daughter onto me, what do you take me for? The original fondness for Wu Dafu was utterly gone, leaving only an adversarial relationship between the two.
Actually, Wu Dafu hadn’t intended to shove his daughter onto him; it was Wu Qiong who clung on. But now, it’s all too late to explain.
Later, when he returned home at night, Wu Dafu slapped Wu Qiong in the face. Wu Qiong groaned and fell onto the sofa, then looked at her father with a puzzled and aggrieved expression, saying, "Why did you hit me?"
"Why did I hit you! You better stop going to Han Dong, if I find out, I will send you to your grandma’s! Don’t even think about staying with me! From now on, we are not friends with Han Dong, and choose your words carefully, don’t blab everything to others!"
Wu Qiong disliked her grandma’s place the most; living in the countryside with chicken and duck manure everywhere, nothing to eat or drink, having to sleep on a kang, nothing available at all. She bit her lip and stayed silent. Seeing her father so angry, she knew what she did today was certainly reported by Han Dong, making her very angry inside.
Is it necessary? You’re a man; I’m a woman, even if we are together, I’m the one losing out, right? Wondering what he said to my dad, that things turned out like this.
The next morning, she went to find Han Dong to clarify things, but Han Dong wasn’t home, and when she went to the factory, the gatekeeper wouldn’t let her in. Wu Qiong was so angry she wished she could kick the gatekeeper.
"Do you know who I am!? I’m Wu Dafu’s daughter!"
"Our boss ordered not to let you in, or he’ll fire us." The gatekeeper thought, you’re Wu Dafu’s daughter for all I care, our boss doesn’t welcome you, so don’t expect to get in.
Wu Qiong stomped her feet in anger, feeling humiliated, and had to leave. She thought her actions might have upset him, but wasn’t it a minor issue? Is it necessary to this extent?
As she walked away, Wu Qiong suddenly figured it out. She had always been raised in a honey pot, getting whatever she wanted easily, so this experience of pursuing him gave her a novel feeling. The harder it is to get, the more exhilarating it becomes, defining herself as the male lead in a Qiong Yao drama.
Wu Qiong thought, Han Dong must be intentionally avoiding me because of his discord with my father. He must be feeling sad and helpless, thus leaving me, thinking he’s unworthy of me? This is true love!
Wu Qiong decided she would marry Han Dong and heal his wounds! (What a bizarre logic.)
