C22 (1/2)

Xin Xinyin had heard this curse countless times since she was young.

But today, it was exceptionally ear-piercing. She even suspected if she was his biological daughter.

How could a father scold his own daughter like that? Even if she was an ”illegitimate child.”

”What's the matter?” Xin Nianyin asked coldly.

”You took so long to speak? Do you still think highly of your father? ”

Xin Tao shouted angrily into the phone.

”You still know that you are my old man? ”What happened to you? Did you ever put me in your eyes?”

She felt that she wasn't worth it for her mother. How could such a man be worthy of her paying such a price? And he lost his life for it.

”You unfilial girl, you still dare to talk back? ”You …”

”Is there anything else? ”If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up.”

Xin Nianyin suddenly interrupted Xin Tao. She had heard him scolding her since she was young, and now she didn't want to hear it anymore.

”How dare you! ”This weekend, go back to the Xin family. If you dare to not come back, then your mother won't be able to keep what she likes!”

Xin Tao shamelessly threatened. He hung up the phone without waiting for Xin Xinyin's agreement. It was as if he was sure she would return to the Xin family.

The reason why Xin Tao was so confident was because he knew how much Xin Nianyin valued her mother.

When he thought of Xin Nianyin's mother, a strange feeling flashed through Xin Tao's heart. But it was quickly replaced by the immediate benefits.

The Xin family was in Shanghai, so they were not considered a big family. Plus, the Xin family had not been doing well these past few years, so they had already lost a lot of money.

It was only then that he thought of the marriage alliance. He had hoped that the Gu family would remember their kinship and help out.

Who knew that during the night when it rained, before the Gu family could help, the Xin family's funds were cut off again.

He had wanted to find Gu Mai to help resolve the crisis on the account of his father-in-law.

But who would have thought that before he even saw Gu Mei's face, the mail he sent to the Gu Clan was also called back by the Gu Clan one by one.

He had no other way, which was why he thought of Xin Xinyin. No matter what, the Xin Family couldn't be destroyed by him, Xin Tao.

However, Xin Xinyin was unaware of all of this.

She already knew that her father was ruthless, but she didn't expect him to do this. He was actually threatening her with her dead mother.

She had nothing to lose, and she could give them anything but her mother's things.

Xin Xinyin hadn't come back since she entered the Gu household, so she should've brought Gu Bo along with her on this trip home.

But considering their current relationship, she didn't want to talk to Gu Qi about it, and she didn't think he would go back with her.

So on the weekend, Xin Nianyin got up early and the pillow was empty. She knew that Gu had not gone home last night.

This was good as well, it saved the two from feeling awkward when meeting each other.

Xin Nianyin slightly tidied herself up, and still felt that she should tell Gu Qi about it. She hastily sent a text message to Gu Mei, turned off her phone, and took a taxi back to the Xin family.

When he returned to the Xin family, the first person Xin Nianyin saw was the ”elder sister” who had sent her to Gu Mei's bed, Xin Qingwan.

”Yo, isn't this Young Mistress Gu? How did she manage to come back?”

Xin Qingwan mocked him. When she heard that the Gu family had not injected capital into the Xin family and the Xin family was on the verge of bankruptcy, she hated Xin Xinyin even more. What a useless person.

”Where's Dad?”

Xin Nianyin had reached the point that she felt insulted when she heard her 'sister'.
