Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 858

Captain Song was so angry that his face turned red.

Song Yaxin couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Dad, I’m your daughter! How could you protect someone else instead? I’m your flesh and blood, not him!” screamed Song Yaxin as she pointed at Shen Peichuan. She still didn’t understand why her father did what he did.

Captain Song had his hand over his chest. He had never been that furious before. Why is she so stupid and stubborn?

“Are you trying to get my blood pressure so high that I die?” asked Captain Song between pants.

Tears fell from Song Yaxin’s eyes. “You have always protected him, but you have never been that attentive to me, your own daughter, before. Growing up, have you ever paid any attention to me? Isn’t it too late to teach me a lesson now?”

Captain Song stumbled backward and fell onto the sofa. He couldn’t deny it. He had always been busy, so his wife was the one who raised their daughter. As such, Song Yaxin’s attitude and beliefs were as unreasonable as his wife’s.

“This is my fault. This is all my fault,” murmured Captain Song with a broken heart.

He didn’t have the time to teach his daughter right from wrong when she was a kid, and everything was too late now because she had already grown up.

Captain Song regretted his decision.

He regretted not spending time with his daughter.

“Dad!” called Song Yaxin. She hurried over to stroke his back and soothe his breathing. Captain Song looked terrible, and it seemed like he might pass away at any given moment.

Captain Song was getting too old. He had been a police chief for years and had always been a responsible boss. As such, everyone respected him. His former subordinates would greet him warmly even after he had retired. However…

My daughter turns out to be so despicable, and I am ashamed of it!

Captain Song panted as he stared at his daughter. He agreed with her earlier words. “You are right. I am your father, but I have never taught you right from wrong. You have made a mistake, and that is all my fault. I am wrong.”

He continued, “I am your father, so I am partially responsible for your mistake. You won’t apologize for it, so I will do it in your place!” He turned to Shen Peichuan. “I didn’t teach her well…”

“Don’t apologize to him, Dad. He thinks he can disrespect you just because he got promoted at work? You helped him grow to be the man he is today, but he is so petty and goes up against you for something so minor! That proves that he does not know how to be grateful and is not an honorable man,” replied Song Yaxin.

“You…” muttered Captain Song. He was so angry that his features distorted, and he looked like he was on the verge of fainting.

Shen Peichuan sighed internally. He couldn’t be mean to his superior, who once helped him out. I hate that man’s daughter so much that my very soul burns, but I can’t let him suffer in her place.

“Captain Song, I’m not angry.”

Captain Song reached out to hold Shen Peichuan’s hand. The former’s breathing remained uneven. He took some time before he could say, “I’m so sorry. I wronged you.”

Captain Song knew that his daughter had made more than one mistake.

“Yaxin, we have to be reasonable. Be honest. When has Shen Peichuan ever wronged you? He can’t help it, nor can he force it, if he doesn’t love you. You’ve made so many mistakes, but I’ve always been reluctant to scold you. It’s like you said. I never paid much attention to you, so I have no right to scold you. I have pampered you too much and turned a blind eye to all your mistakes,” said Captain Song.
