“Dad, you’re finally here to save me! I’ve finally managed to have my own home after living alone for so long, but sis said that I’m a lowly illegitimate daughter! She even hit me and said that I’m not worthy of living in her room. Sob, sob—”

Master Xia understood Xia Zhiwan’s personality, but he also felt guilty for leaving his younger daughter alone for so long. Besides that, he still needed to take care of Xia Zhiya’s reputation even if he was just making her stay to help the Xia family,

“Kneel!”

“Father, I—” Xia Zhiwan still wanted to explain. However, Master Xia waved his cane and hit her knee, making her kneel immediately.

“Turns out that not only you’re incompetent, you’re also rude! You don’t have the mannerisms of a lady at all! How shameless! Do you know what your younger sister’s status is now? If it wasn’t because of my personal feelings, I would have driven you out of the Xia family long ago!”

The Xia family could dominate the jewelry industry not only because of the advantages of the family’s ability but also because of their strictness in pursuing profits. In other words, the Xia family did not need any trash.

Thus, Master Xia was not pleased with Xia Zhiwan at that moment. Not to mention, Xia Zhiya was also adding fuel to the fire.

“Dad, you need to help me even the score! Even now, my face still hurts. This slap was too heavy. I really don’t know why sis hates me so much. If she dares to bully me again, I dare not stay in the Xia Family anymore—”

Xia Zhiwan tried to refute with a pale face, “I didn’t hit her on purpose. It’s because she said that mother—”

“Enough!” After hearing what Xia Zhiya said, Master Xia did not want to hear Xia Zhiwan’s excuses at all. He was only thinking about a way to comfort Xia Zhiya so she would stay.

Thus, he showed a dull expression and said to Xia Zhiya, “You’re allowed to slap her as well. Then, just calm down and forget about this matter.”

Xia Zhiya stopped crying and glanced at the dejected Xia Zhiwan. She then smiled from the corners of her lips and walked toward Xia Zhiwan slowly.

“This is the justice that dad has given me, so I can’t help it, right, sis?”

“I—” Xia Zhiwan raised her head. However, before she could even finish speaking, Xia Zhiya had already slapped Xia Zhiwan with all of her strength.
