Jean still had no response. She was waiting for her father to speak.
"Dear..." After a long wait, her father finally spoke.
It was this word that nearly made Jean burst into laughter.
Dear? Dear? Dear?
That was the funniest joke that Jean had ever heard.
Jean raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled sardonically.
"Ha!"
Jean's father was stupefied. He had no idea why she was smiling at him like that.
"Sister, father and I have come here to apologize for our mistakes. We are your family. Why are you behaving like this?"
'What a family!
Did you consider me as a member of the family when you beat me with the broom?'
These thoughts ran through Jean's mind. She glared at Shirley. Surprised by Jean's odd behavior, Shirley fidgeted. She didn't know what else to say to Jean.
"What am I doing? What have I done?"
"Jean Wen!"
The tone of her father's voice was a clear indicator of how he truly felt. Jean lifted her chin in defiance.
'Ha, he couldn't pretend any longer, could he? Didn't you call me dear just now? How quickly he reveals his true nature!'
Jean looked at Shirley before glancing at her father. The expression in her eyes was so cold.
It was a sunny day but somehow, Jean's father felt a shiver travel through his body. It was almost as though someone had poured a basin of ice-cold water over him.
"So, why are you here?"
Since her father had lost his patience, Jean felt there was no need to be civil either.
Although Jean was fully aware of their intentions, she didn't plan on letting them know.
However, her father was burning with anger. It was beneath him to humiliate himself before Jean like this. He would have slapped her for her disrespectful behavior had it not been for that land.
"I..."
