"What did I do wrong? " Zheng Yi asks, approaching towards. He suddenly looks big and Yinzhen appears so small. Seeing his father, he gulps softly. He isn't expecting his father to come or anything and now that he is here, he feels his nerves racking.

Hui Yin sympathizes and fears looking at the situation right now. She steps forward, "Honey, he is... A kid. He didn't say anything... Don't mind. "

Zheng Yi narrows his eyes at her and she understands what that means. She steps back meekly taking the bag from his grip.

He turns his attention back to his son who is looking at him with no cowardness.

That amuses him more. His son, who never dare oppose him or mind what he does is now standing up for himself and others.

"Son, tell me" he demands, inching a step closer. The atmosphere feels suffocating and Cai Li just wants to escape from here. Seeing her father with that murderous look on his face, gave her chills.

She isn't sure if her father forgave her or not, she is still debating on that.

Yinzhen Braves himself because he had enough of it. Since a kid, he never dares oppose his father. And he somehow knew his father doesn't encourage him much. What his father wants, he does not want to do that.

"What you and Cai Li did is wrong. "

"Since when did you start caring what I did is right or wrong? " his father scoffs.

Yinzhen purses his lips. He does not know how to answer that. That's a question he does not answer to. He never really poked his nose into his father's business. His father wanted him to join the company and to be the chairman, which he did not at all wanted to do that. He knows his father's ulterior motives yet he never raised his voice against that. But this time, he couldn't understand why he loses his temper. He knows the answer yet he refuses to acknowledge it.

"Oh, is it because... Shi Lian is involved? " he tries to guess and just as he expected, he is right.

Yinzhen curls his fingers into a fist at the mention. "Yes. Shi Lian...is my... Cousin and Cai Li's too, and for God's sake, she is your niece. Doing something this low and to our cousin is wrong" he speaks up. This surprised Zheng Yi and at the same time annoys him.

Out of every situation, he chose to be brave at this moment, and why? Because of Shi Lian. He thought he doesn't like her but now to think of it, there's a lot more to discover.

"Brother! What—"

Zheng Yi cut Cai Li off midsentence by showing his palm st her face. His eyes are rooted in his son.

Cai Li bites her lower lip hard, irritated, she backs away.

Dropping his hand, he shoves them into his pants pocket. "You have all grown up... The meek boy can speak now" he mocks him. "You never tried to go against me... Why now, Yinzhen? Is it also because of Shi Lian?"

"No" Yinzhen quickly responds, getting the bitterness in his tongue. "It has nothing to do with her."

Zheng Yi turns towards Cai Li, narrowing his eyes at her he snaps, "And you. You cannot keep your mouth, can you? "

Cai Li's cheeks burns and the way he said, is almost like an insult to her. She opens her mouth to say something but nothing comes. She grits her teeth because if it wasn't because of Shi Lian who instigated her, this all should never happen. It is all because of Shi Lian.

Being impulsive as she is, she blurts out, "That bitch instigated me! She already suspected it was me so it won't be long enough that she finds the truth! "

Zheng Yi rubs his temple with his two fingers. How dumb can her daughter be? What did he even make her the part of the plan? He regrets it now.

"See you can never shut your damn mouth" he snarls at her.

Cai Li's chin trembles and she tries not to cry. Yes, he still hasn't forgiven her. He still hates her. He hates her. All this is because of Shi Lian.

She let out a loud annoying shrill snd stormed upstairs to her room. Hui Yin worries about her daughter but her situation here isn't well either.

"Hon..... Please just let it go" she begs, showing her motherly concern.

But Zheng Yi isn't finished here. His plan has failed, his daughter is useless and now his son is going against him.

"You better keep your mouth and temper in control," he warns his son.

"Then stop harassing Shi Lian" Yinzhen challenges. He does feel something about Shi Lian and it will wrong to deny it. He had this urge to protect her smile snd he is ready to fight even against his father.

"You aren't that capable of challenging me" Zheng Yi growls. He wanted his son to work with him at the company, make him the chairman but his son won't corporate with him. He wants to be a game designer, which he thinks is a low-grade job. He thought that maybe the game thing will be forgotten and he will eventually come to work with him but it's been two years and he still isn't backing.

With one last look, Yinzhen goes to his room saying nothing. "What did I do to get these kinds of children? " he yells, his voice full of annoyance.

Hui Yin gets offended by what he said just now but she remains silent.

The house suddenly feels inferior to all of them. It never happens this kind of argument or it got this heated.

Yinzhen is not in his room. He sits on the roof that is attached to his room. His room feels suffocating, he needs air to keep himself calm and cool things down.

His father's words roam inside his mind, each and every word is perfectly clear. It will be the first time, he looked at him directly into his eyes and made his demands.

Apart from all these, he feels good from inside, good that he took his stand and spoke, he really spoke. He didn't stumble or was he shivering, he is growing up just like his father said.

He still cannot believe his father did all these and even made Cai Li a part of his plan. He knows Cai Li does not likes Shi Lian but he did expect it was this deep.

His father mentioned several times about taking over to the Chairman seat but he declined everything because he knows he isn't capable of that. If he somehow made it, it won't be long enough he is kicked out from there by the staff or company workers. He never had an interest in business, it makes his head hurts whenever he listens to his father's lecture.

He does not know what will happen tomorrow. A new day, everything is forgotten, it won't be like that even if he wants it to happen. Now that he is brave enough to confront, he should also start pursuing his dreams and stop thinking about what his father will say.
