Faced with her father's scolding, Qi Huan simply smiled faintly, "So that's why Father was so furious."

"What kind of attitude is this! Shouldn't you be angry about this?!" Qi Tianxiang was furious. He kicked the table next to him with all his might. With a loud "bang", the sturdy table was instantly kicked over to the ground.

Qi Huan didn't even blink. "Dad, do I have to remind you again? You ask me for money for everything you eat, wear, and use. Even if you're unhappy, you should put up with it. How dare you question me to my face?"

Qi Tianxiang's eyes widened. "Because I'm your father!"

Qi Huan chuckled and said slowly, "You should be glad that you are my father, which is why I didn't lay a hand on you, but only reduced your living expenses."

"You still want to lay a hand on your father?!" Qi Tianxiang's eyes widened, veins bulged on his forehead, and his chest heaved violently, clearly enraged to the extreme.

"You unfilial son are just as unreasonable as your mother!"

Mentioning her mother, Qi Huan's eyes turned cold. She gestured for Cheng Jing to bring her the information she had gathered, then expressionlessly threw it at Qi Tianxiang. "Qi Tianxiang, how dare you blame my mother? Look for yourself, why I smashed Qi Yu's knees!"

Qi Tianxiang looked down at the file bag that had fallen to the ground, angrily bent down and picked it up. When he saw that it contained Qi Yu's background investigation information, his eyes widened.

"Qi Huan, you investigated me without my permission!"

"If I hadn't investigated, how would I have known that you were so shameless as to bring your illegitimate daughter back to me so I could raise her for you!" Qi Huan's face was colder than ever before. "It's because I was too good to you before that you had the illusion that you could live off a woman."

Qi Tianxiang said, "Qi Yu is my illegitimate daughter, but she is also your sister, your half-sister. It is your duty to raise her and care for her!"

Qi Huan chuckled, "You have such a big illegitimate daughter and you're still so tough. It seems you've been living off me for too long and forgotten your own worth. You rely on me for everything at home, yet you deceive and take advantage of me and still expect me to respect you."

Qi Tianxiang said with dissatisfaction, "Don't keep saying I'm a freeloader. I'm your father, isn't it your duty to be filial to me?"

"My filial piety towards you is based on whether you are worthy, but are you worthy?" Qi Huan said with a scrutinizing gaze. "I now strongly suspect that Qi Yu's kidnapping was also part of your plan, wasn't it? Your purpose was to get rid of me and take my place in the Qi family, so that you could openly reveal Qi Yu's identity without anyone stopping you."

Upon hearing this, a hint of guilt quickly surfaced in Qi Tianxiang's eyes.

But he was no longer an naive young man; he possessed a certain composure and quickly transformed his slight unease into accusation.

"What you're saying is getting more and more outrageous! Do you think I'm as heartless as you? You even harmed your sister and brother whom you've lived with for three years! You're my own son, how could I be so heartless as to want to kill you!"

Qi Huan watched his earnest performance and said, "Whether Father was involved in this plan or not, he knows it in his heart. To be honest, even if you really get rid of me, do you think you, Qi Yu, and Qi Yue really have the ability to protect all the business empire that I'm currently expanding for the Qi family? Do you think Grandpa is blind and would hand the Qi family over to you? So many eyes in the Qi family are watching. Do you believe that as soon as I collapse, all your brothers and sisters will try every means to devour you clean? In the end, you will only end up with nothing!"

Qi Tianxiang's eyes widened, his face full of indignation. "Really? You look down on me and your brother that much?"

Qi Huan said with a half-smile, "In our circle of wealthy families, how can someone without real ability expect others to respect them? Even if you are my grandfather's own son, when you were a nobody, did my grandfather ever give you a second glance? Did the other wealthy and noble families in the circle ever take you seriously?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Tianxiang's anger flared even more. He pointed at Qi Huan and cursed, "Yes, you're capable! But don't forget, no matter how capable you are, you're still my son! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have had the chance to be born!"

However, Qi Huan remained unmoved. "Qi Tianxiang, you'd better behave yourself. Out of respect for you being my father, I can still guarantee you a comfortable old age with plenty of food and clothing. But if you continue to act recklessly, don't blame me for disregarding our father-son relationship and putting family interests first."

After saying this, Qi Huan raised her hand to signal Cheng Jing to leave, leaving behind only a resolute back view.

Qi Tianxiang stared in the direction Qi Huan had left, trembling with rage. He kicked the table he had previously overturned again in a fit of fury.

Just wait and see!

He simply refused to believe that he and his son Qi Yue couldn't replace their disabled son Qi Huan!

……

After returning to her room and dismissing Cheng Jing, Qi Huan sat silently in her wheelchair for about ten minutes, processing the heartache from the betrayal by her loved ones, before slowly taking out her phone to send a message to Jiang Youli.

Just then, he saw the message that Jiang Youli had just sent.

[Little Huanhuan, you beat Qi Yu and Qi Yue up like that, what was your scumbag father's reaction?]

Upon seeing the message from Jiang Youli, Qi Huan's pain turned into a smile.

[I was furious, but thankfully I didn't die of anger, which saves me the trouble of potentially betraying my own family in the future.]

Jiang Youli returned quickly.

[No rush. After I heal your legs, seeing you jumping around like a madman will make him furious again. Half-dead on top of half-dead, he'll probably be furious to death by now.]

Qi Huan's smile deepened: [Little Li'er is truly a master strategist.]

Jiang Youli: [Absolutely]

[By the way, Zhou Yi, Uncle Zhou's son, arranged to meet me today to discuss the copyright of my last novel on behalf of a friend. Do you know who his friend is?]

[It's Jiang Yonghe!]

Qi Huan: [Oh? What a small world! Tomorrow's meeting will be interesting.]

Jiang Youli: [Yes, I wonder how Jiang Yonghe and Jiang Xing will react when they see me.]

Qi Huan thought for a moment and sent two emojis.

……

Jiang Youli almost spat out a mouthful of soda onto Xiao Lü, who was always bothering Xiao Hei or Xiao Bai, as she read the message Qi Huan sent.

[Sun + Dog]

Isn't this just like *dog*?

[Xiao Huanhuan, you're quite humorous when you're joking.]

[Thank you for the compliment. I was just worried you'd think I was dull, so I wanted to warm up my studies beforehand.]

[No need. Just take care of your face and maintain your figure. I can be happy all day just watching you without you saying a word.]

Driven away by both Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, Xiao Lü slipped into Jiang Youli's hands for protection.

Jiang Youli didn't even look at them, and simply picked up Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, who had come chasing after them, and put them aside.

Little Green immediately popped its head out again, proudly sticking its tongue out at them.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lü's smugness didn't last long before Jiang Youli picked her up and threw her towards Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai.

Little Green: "..."
