Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It had been a long time since Liu Shimei had paid attention to her scumbag father. However, no matter how fierce the situation was, she was still the daughter of the Liu family before she got married. Within certain limits, she would still give him face.
“Father called his daughter. Is there something you need?” Liu Shimei’s voice was cold.
Liu Fuyun was already used to her attitude, so he did not nitpick or hold any hope for improving their relationship.
He responded just as coldly, “I heard you’ve been studying medicine?”
“Yes,” Liu Shimei knew this was something she could not hide, so she admitted it calmly.
Liu Fuyun continued, “Although Yan’er’s leg was originally your fault, you still helped her at Spring Garden this time. And in the process, you even brought down Princess Ping’an.”
“If you can help Yan’er stabilize her position as the Crown Princess in the future, I will agree to repair our relationship. After all, if you get married to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, with the support of your natal family, you’ll have a better life in the royal family. What do you think?”
He calculated in his heart: Liu Yan’er’s scheming was nothing compared to Liu Shimei’s. She might not be able to smoothly become the Crown Prince’s Consort. However, if Liu Shimei was willing to help, giving her some benefits would not be out of the question.
After ail, once the family had the Crown Prince’s Consort, would there be any concerns about future benefits?
Liu Shimei was speechless.
She fell silent for a moment, feeling so amused by her despicable father’s shamelessness!
Such a benevolent tone! It was as if she was begging to repair their relationship. Did Liu Fuyun not know that she wished she could sever all ties with the Grand Chancellor’s Residence?
However, there was no point in saying such words. She said coldly, “Father, you are wrong. My principle is that I will not offend anyone if they do not offend me. Yu Wanqing offended me and conveniently handed power over to me, so I dealt with her. If Liu Yan’er does the same, the result will be the same.”
“You…” Liu Fuyun choked on her words and said, “Liu Shimei, why are you so selfish?”
“I’m selfish?”
Liu Shimei felt that she could not communicate with him. “Who’s the selfish one here, Father!”
Before Liu Fuyun could respond, she interjected, “Don’t bother with those ‘for the greater good of the Liu family’ kind of words. Back when you used me as a political bargaining chip, making me… win the Crown Prince’s affection, that was because I hadn’t seen through your true nature at that time. I did it out of filial love. But when you stood on the side of Liu Yan’er, who harmed me, I saw your true colors—utterly driven by self-interest!”
“You ungrateful daughter!” Liu Fuyun was so angry that his eyes rolled back. “I’m doing this for the future of the Liu family! The family is the foundation for every descendant. Without the family’s interests, where will personal benefits come from?”
“In that case, let me tell you…” Liu Shimei calmly met his gaze and said, “I don’t care!”
Liu Fuyun was finally completely speechless, and could only ask, “So, does that mean you won’t help Yan’er?”
“Father, don’t think that because I helped Liu Yan’er at Spring Garden, it means I’ve softened and sided with you.” Liu Shimei was not afraid to speak the truth. “At that time, it was just a matter of circumstances, and Liu Yan’er almost killed me. I will never forget that!”
In fact, Liu Yan’er had already killed the original host, but Liu Shimei could not say that!
Hearing her words, Liu Fuyun understood, “You helped Yan’er only for your own sake, then?”
