Having eaten a bit too much for dinner, An Boyuan rubbed his stomach uncomfortably. An Tingnuan asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable after eating too much?"
"A bit." An Boyuan nodded slightly, stood up and wanted to move around.
An Tingnuan stood up and put her arms around him and said, "I'll make you a pot of tea." Then he turned to Ye Lishu and said, "Mom, go and give Dad some stomach-strengthening and digestion tablets."
Ye Lishu looked deeply at her daughter.
"Go quickly." An Tingnuan gave Ye Lishu a look that only mother and daughter could understand.
Ye Lishu exhaled, stood up and walked upstairs, looking back at An Boyuan every step of the way.
If An Boyuan turned around and looked at Ye Lishu at this time, he would definitely be able to tell that something was wrong with Ye Lishu, but he didn't. He was stingy with giving her a look all night.
Ye Lishu clenched her fists. An Boyuan's ruthlessness made her understand that the divorce was irreversible. For the sake of herself and her daughter, she could not be soft-hearted.
So he didn't look back and ran up to the second floor in one breath.
An Tingnuan took An Boyuan to the living room. An Boyuan ate too much and stood in the living room walking back and forth to eat. An Tingnuan took out the tea leaves, set out the tea set, and brewed tea in an elegant and calm manner.
An Tingnuan made tea very slowly, and after ten minutes poured An Boyuan a cup of tea: "Dad, come and drink tea."
An Boyuan digested for a while and felt more comfortable. He sat down, took the tea from his little daughter, and took a sip. It tasted very good.
"Dad, do you still remember? When I was ten years old, I burned my hand trying to make tea for you. You were so distressed that you carried me to the hospital anxiously, fearing that I would have scars on my hands, and even ordered some from abroad.
Come back and apply the scar removal ointment on me." An Tingnuan also picked up a cup of tea and tasted it carefully.
Memories are always the easiest to touch the softness of people's hearts. An Boyuan's expression softened a lot. He nodded: "Of course I remember. I still remember that you were very strong. It was obviously very painful, but you gritted your teeth and refused to cry. I asked you why.
Don’t cry, you said you are afraid that crying will make me feel more distressed. I was thinking at that time that my daughter is really sensible and has been so filial since she was a child. When she grows up, she will be my father’s most caring little cotton-padded jacket.”
"Yeah." An Tingnuan's mouth was filled with self-mockery: "In order to be a sensible child, in order to be my father's caring little cotton-padded jacket, I have sacrificed too much. When others were playing with toys, I was learning the piano, and others were playing the piano.
When I was playing games, I was learning to dance. When others got angry in front of my parents, I would already make tea for my father.
Throughout my childhood, there was not a day when I didn’t learn something, just to be taken out by my father. When others praised me for my versatility, I would see the pride and recognition on your face, Dad. In order to get your like and your favor, the things I sacrificed are really
Too many.
But in the end, what did I get? Did I really get my father's love? No, no, I didn't get anything. No matter how obedient and sensible I am, no matter how versatile I am, I can't compare to An Zhisu's status in my father's heart. You are the most important
What I like most is An Zhisu. As for me, I'm just a condiment when she makes you angry.
I'm really jealous of her. Why can she yell at her father? Why is she the eldest daughter of the An family? Why can her father tolerate her no matter how naughty she is? Why can she have her father's without having to do anything?
pet.
Dad, can you tell me? These questions have really troubled me for a long time. I think I am prettier than her, more sensible than her, more able to please my father than she is, and more qualified than her to inherit the An Group, but why?
Dad still favors her?"
An Boyuan listened to this question in a daze. He was surprised by his little daughter's tone and expression at this moment, and he was also shocked that there was such a jealous side buried deep in his heart.
"Tingnuan, are you... resenting me?" An Boyuan took a while to find his voice.
"Yes!" An Tingnuan's answer was full of resentment: "I hate you, your partiality, I hate you for making me an illegitimate daughter spurned by others, and I even hate you for planning to abandon me and my mother for An Zhisu.
I really don’t understand what’s so good about An Zhisu and why everyone likes her. Even if she is considered a murderer and mentally ill, even if she has tarnished the An Group, even if she is no longer worthy of being the leader of the An family.
Miss, you still favor her and want to give her the best.
How can my mother and I be sorry for you? We are the ones who have been with you the longest, we are the ones who never disobey you, and we are the ones who always think about you. But it was us who were abandoned by you in the end. Why? I haven’t done enough.
?”
An Boyuan took a breath: "You...why do you have to compare with your sister? You are both my daughters, and your status in my heart is the same. If you want to say partiality, I prefer you."
"Hahaha..." An Tingnuan smiled: "Partially favoring me? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? If you favored me, you would not divorce your mother. You clearly know that I have just been divorced by the Xiao family
, if I divorce my mother at this time, how can I go out to meet people in the future?"
"My divorce from your mother is a matter between adults. It will not affect you. You are still my daughter and the future heir of the An Group." An Boyuan explained.
An Tingnuan sneered: "As long as An Zhisu is here, I will never be the first heir in your heart. I really regret not killing her in the mental hospital. If she had died, my mother and I would not be reduced to this
I was abandoned by you today."
An Boyuan's old eyes widened instantly, and a burst of anger burst out: "It is indeed you, it is indeed you who let people break Zhisu's ribs. She is your sister, how can you be so cruel!"
"That's right, it's me. It's a pity that she was so fatal that she didn't die even though her ribs were broken and pierced into her lungs. If I had known she was so fatal, I should have been more ruthless." An Tingnuan admitted unabashedly.
"You!" An Boyuan's blood rushed to his head, and his heart twitched violently. He turned pale in pain and covered his chest: "You almost killed your sister and acted in front of me. When did you become like this?
Were all the clever and sensible things you did when you were a child just an act?"
"Otherwise, what do you think? If you don't pretend to be nice and sensible, I really like my sister if you don't pretend. How can I numb you and make you believe that I have nothing to do with framing her?" An Tingnuan looked like she was willing to give up and didn't want to hide anything anymore.
appearance.
An Boyuan only felt that his heart ached even more. Over the years, how many shameful things had his wife and daughter by his side done, and how many times had they harmed his eldest daughter without telling him.
"Don't you want to know if what happened back then has anything to do with me? Let me tell you clearly, it is not only related to me, but I also planned it. I was the one who betrayed Yang Xi, and I was the one who killed He Sihan.
Then he and Yang Xi put the blame on An Zhisu.
I originally wanted her to die, but who knew that you took advantage of your mental illness to save her and let her escape the punishment of the law. Speaking of which, you ruined my good deeds. If it weren't for you, I would have gotten rid of her stumbling block.
Now." An Tingnuan said while watching with satisfaction as An Boyuan's face became paler and paler.
