The steps stopped abruptly.

Jun Huacheng's face couldn't help but twitched a little, and at the same time he sighed secretly.

One title is enough to explain her daughter's attitude.

Still determined.

The footsteps stood like roots, and the distance of only a few meters seemed to become a natural chasm between the father and daughter...

Even if we take two more steps, the distance between our hearts cannot be shortened.

Jun Huacheng was mentally prepared for this, but when he actually faced Jun Tieying and listened to this calm voice that seemed to have no emotion at all, Jun Huacheng couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

After his daughter's plea on the phone a few days ago was ruthlessly rejected by him, Jun Huacheng understood even more that the rift between father and daughter was more tolerant than before.

The weak light fell on Jun Huacheng's eyes, reflecting the delicate body in front of him.

His lips trembled slightly, and a slightly gravelly voice sounded, "This past year... have you been okay?"

It has been a full year since Jun Tieying was taken to the Pearl by the Bai sisters.

The father and daughter have not seen each other for a year, but now that they have met, there is an aura of indifference permeating the two.

"It's better than here." Jun Tieying tried hard to keep her eyes calm and spoke in a calm voice. At the same time, she slowly lowered her head and looked at the strings wrapped around her fingers. The corners of her mouth could not help but curve slightly. She said

What he said was true. Jun Tieying liked Mingzhu more than this cold Jun family manor.

What would a father feel like when he hears his daughter say that other places are better places?

Jun Huacheng was never a person who showed his emotions on his face, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness and desolation permeating his whole body. After a long time, he let out a slight breath, a bit of guilt flashed in his eyes, and he breathed heavily in his chest.

After a few moments, he gradually calmed down and said softly, "You have to be mentally prepared for the family meeting in a few days."

Hearing this, Jun Tieying's arm trembled slightly, and the strings of the piano plucked a slight sound.

There was no response.

Jun Tieying was already mentally prepared to accept any ending without even knowing when it started.

Seeing that Jun Tieying didn't mean to say anything, Jun Huacheng sighed secretly, his eyes hesitated for a while, and then he said, "The day of the family meeting is your birthday, and I want to... celebrate your birthday in advance in these two days.

.”

call out!

Jun Tieying raised her head suddenly, the calm indifference in her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she said word by word, "I never celebrate my birthday!"

Jun Huacheng could not help but tremble slightly. He did not expect that his daughter's reaction would still be so intense.

His face twitched bitterly, and a deep voice said, "Dad has never celebrated your birthday with you in my life. I..." Jun Huacheng felt that his heart had never been heavier, and he said in a low voice, "Rou...

...Tieying, give dad a chance to make it up to you."

"You shouldn't have forgotten..." Jun Tieying's eyes were filled with coldness, his mood seemed to suddenly become a little excited, and his voice was trembling, "My birthday... is the anniversary of my mother's death!"

At the mention of his deceased wife, Jun Huacheng felt as if his heart had been hit by a heavy hammer. His whole body convulsed violently, as if he was suffering from an extremely severe heart-pounding pain.

His fists clenched subconsciously.

It was a heartache that I could never make up for in my life, and I was destined to follow my regretful knot for the rest of my life.

Back then, if I hadn't been attending a family meeting and neglecting my wife, it would have led to such irreparable consequences!

His heavy steps staggered a few times, and Jun Huacheng's eyes were full of guilt, with strong regret, "I know that everything back then was my fault! I can't forgive you, mother and daughter!"

If it hadn't been for the anniversary of her mother's death, Jun Tieying might not have returned to the Jun family every year for family meetings.

"But, I can no longer repay what I owe your mother, Tieying, are you really unwilling to give me a chance to make it up to you?" Jun Huacheng looked ahead with devastated eyes, his eyes already filled with tears.

He no longer has his usual look.

"And..." Jun Huacheng paused and did not speak again.

"And..." Jun Tieying said indifferently, "This may be the only birthday I can spend at Jun's house."

Jun Huacheng's eyes trembled violently!

His eyelids seemed to be extremely heavy and closed, trying his best to suppress his inner emotions. After a moment, he slowly opened them. Looking at the delicate body in front of him, he knew clearly that although his daughter could not stand up like a normal person, her

But his thoughts are more exquisite and clear than anyone else's.

She may have already anticipated what would happen at this family meeting...

This day will come sooner or later.

"I promise..." Jun Huacheng's voice fell heavily, "No matter where you are, I will never let anyone hurt you!"

Jun Tieying looked calm, "If my heart is calm, nothing can harm me; if my heart is turbulent, trivial things can frustrate me." The implication is that whether you face harm or not depends on your own mentality.

Jun Tieying didn't care at all about the promise Jun Huacheng made at this moment.

Jun Huacheng's face flashed with self-deprecating bitterness. Looking at the figure with his head lowered towards the guzheng, he felt a dull pain deep in his heart. His daughter would rather face the guzheng all day long than raise her head to take another look at herself.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

moment……

Jun Huacheng felt his lips were a little dry, so he licked them lightly, and then said in a low voice, "If you don't want to celebrate your birthday, dad won't force you. There will be a family meeting in a few days. Don't be bored all day long."

In the room, I have notified Chengwen and asked him to come over and stay with you."

"Let him go!"

Jun Tieying suddenly raised his eyes, his voice was sharp and decisive, and he stared directly at Jun Huacheng.

Jun Huacheng frowned and shook his head with a sigh, "I don't understand why you are so resistant to Cheng Wen? Regardless of his family background or appearance, Cheng Wen is very good. He..."

"No need to say any more." Jun Tieying's voice was indifferent and he said coldly, "I don't want to hear anything about this person! Moreover, I have said it countless times. Even if I die, I will never marry Shen.

written!"

"Is it because of that Henry Zhang?" Jun Huacheng asked suddenly.

Jun Tieying's eyes flashed, and after a while, he replied quietly, "The previous rejection was because I hated this person. Now, it's because of Henry Zhang!" He answered straightforwardly without any attempt to hide his inner feelings.

Jun Huacheng's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he frowned and said, "I checked Henry Zhang's information, and he is just a gatekeeper of Fuzhou University..."

"Can you please stop wearing a superior face forever!" Jun Tieying's voice suddenly expanded a bit, with a hint of excitement in his voice, like a roar, interrupting Jun Huacheng's words, and he was breathing rapidly in his chest.

After a moment, he then said, with a strong tone, "Guard? What about the guard? He is better than anyone in the world! The young masters of rich families and the children of nobles are nothing compared to him!!"

Jun Huacheng didn't expect to be so excited when mentioning Henry Zhang's daughter, and he couldn't help being shocked.

After a while, his brows furrowed even more, and he said in a deep voice, "You have little experience in doing things, and it is easy to be deceived. That Henry Zhang knows your true identity, and maybe he is spying on you as a member of the Jun family.

I just approached you on purpose."

Jun Tieying stared at Jun Huacheng with cold eyes, his expression extremely indifferent. For a moment, his head lowered again, and his slender fingers gently plucked the strings, "Please come back."

"Tieying..." Jun Huacheng's heart sank, and after a while, his voice sounded coldly with a hint of murderous intent, "If it's because of Henry Zhang, then I would rather kill this person!"

"Isn't this just the way you always do things?" Jun Tieying laughed angrily, his eyes seemed to be filled with a kind of complete heartbreak, despair, and sadness. He seemed to be laughing unscrupulously. During the whole process, his eyes were straight.

He pressed Jun Huacheng directly, "If Xiao Yang dies, I will definitely bury my love."

If you die, how can I live alone?

Jun Huacheng's heart was completely shocked, and a cold feeling permeated his whole body. He looked at his daughter in front of him in disbelief. At this moment, he finally realized that the gap between him and his daughter was already huge.

It's too big to make up for, and I never expected that my daughter would show such a side for a man...

Definitely!

My heart is extremely heavy.

At this moment, Jun Huacheng felt extremely depressed, as if a huge stone was pressing heavily on his heart, as if he could hardly breathe. When his eyes fell on his daughter, he felt extremely strange.

Ask yourself, as a father, how well do you know your daughter?

Jun Huacheng didn't even have the slightest idea what his daughter liked to eat...

He sighed heavily, his voice a little hoarse and heavy, "Do you know that dad can arrange the best way for you, which is to marry into the Shen family. The Shen family is a wealthy family and will never wrong you."

"I don't need the path you arranged." Jun Tieying's heart had been frozen since the moment she returned to Jun's house. Her eyes were extremely cold and she said decisively, "I would rather crawl than be pushed away by the Shen family.

I would rather crawl on the ground and find a path that belongs to me, Tieying!"

Jun Huacheng's heart was shaken and fluctuated continuously, and at the same time, his heart was in pain.

I would rather crawl than let the Shen family push me!

"No matter what..." Jun Huacheng could no longer think of anything to say to persuade his daughter. He could only sigh, "There are still a few days left. Dad hopes you can think about it carefully."

"I'm tired." Jun Tieying lowered her head indifferently.

Jun Huacheng's eyes fell forward, for a moment, he gently retracted them, and his voice was filled with strong bitterness, "Have a good rest." After that, he turned around gently, the sound of weak footsteps sounded, and his back turned towards the door.

Walk……

At this time, Jun Tieying gently raised her head and looked at the figure in front of her who was gradually disappearing outside the door. Her eyes wavered slightly, then gradually calmed down.

The door closed silently.

Jun Huacheng turned around, glanced at the cold door behind him, a complicated expression flashed through his eyes, and murmured to himself, "Rouying, even if dad doesn't embarrass Henry Zhang, but the Jun family...
