Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 25 How can you be so rude!
This was somewhat different from the scene Wen Haotian had imagined when he arrived to see his daughter.

He paused for a few seconds, then continued, "Has your mother mentioned me?"

There's still some anticipation.

Although the divorce was messy, it was their first marriage, and they had genuine feelings for each other.

Furthermore, the fact that Li Ping was willing to give birth to this daughter shows that she still clearly still has some feelings for him.

Wen Haotian was full of confidence.

Li Sui: "No, I asked twice when I was little, and she said you were dead both times, so I stopped asking."

As a child, Li Sui must have been curious and asked by those around him why he didn't have a father.

But Li Ping answered directly that he was dead, so Li Sui naturally couldn't continue to ask questions.

Wen Haotian: "..."

He couldn't hold back any longer, coughing lightly while covering his mouth, a hint of displeasure in his voice: "Your mother is an irresponsible mother..."

Li Sui paused for a moment and interrupted him: "How is she irresponsible?"

Wen Haotian said with a straight face: "If she were responsible, why wouldn't she have returned to the Li family for so many years, hiding your background from you and making you suffer so much?"

Li Sui hissed: "If she doesn't take responsibility, what are you doing? As her father, shouldn't you be fussing over her and giving her a huge sum of money? Aren't you just watching me suffer?"

Wen Haotian: "..."

Wen Haotian was also a smart man, and he keenly sensed the hidden resentment he felt towards Li Sui in her words.

Of course, he believed he had his reasons: "Your mother hates me, she doesn't want me to see you."

"So you're not coming? Did she tie your legs or gag you? If you just sneak a peek at me and throw some money on the ground for me to pick up, I could at least miss the existence of you as my father."

"From what stand do you say my mother is irresponsible?"

Wen Haotian's confident and composed expression cracked slightly: "Don't you hate your mother? You should have been the daughter of the Li family, or even the apple of my eye, Wen Haotian, the richest man in Bincheng. You could have enjoyed a superior life, instead of living in this shabby place where the living room isn't even as big as the Wen family's bathroom."

"..."

In his imagination, Li Sui, having endured so many years of hardship, should blame Li Ping after learning the truth.

This is human nature.

As long as Li Sui harbors resentment or even hatred towards Li Ping, he, as her father, can take advantage of the situation and bring Li Sui back to the Wen family.

It wasn't that he didn't want to acknowledge his daughter, but he needed to let Li Sui know who she could truly rely on.

Li Sui felt slightly offended, especially by the remark that the living room wasn't even as big as the Wen family's bathroom.

"you……"

She frowned: "Your logic is very strange. Why should I hate her? She despises you so much, yet she was willing to spare my life even after discovering she was pregnant following the divorce. That alone is enough for me to be grateful for."

"You almost killed me, do you understand?!"

Wen Haotian: "..."

Even someone as clueless as Zhiniang understood the current situation, and upon hearing this, her eyes were filled with disgust as she looked at Wen Haotian.

It's surprising that the seemingly cheerful leader has such a tragic past.

She was heartbroken.

With just a word from the leader, she could make Wen Haotian walk in standing and walk out lying down!

"You truly are worthy of being Li Ping's daughter!"

Wen Haotian's defenses crumbled after just a few words from Li Suigan, and he couldn't help but reveal his true colors: "She argued with me back then, and what happened? She hasn't married me all these years, isn't it because she can't bear to leave me? Too bad, what's done is done!" "..."

Li Sui had a hard time explaining: "She doesn't miss you. She just feels that she can be carefree on her own and doesn't want to get married. She's had quite a few relationships before."

Li Ping isn't the type to be heartbroken forever.

While she was raising Li Sui, she also had normal relationships with other men. At that time, Li Ping was beautiful, and even with a child, she still had many suitors.

However, having left the wealthy family, Li Ping witnessed the diversity of men in this world far too early.

Having gone through several relationships, except for one that ended peacefully, the others were all quite peculiar in their own way.

The most bizarre one was someone who came specifically for Li Pingqian.

How utterly heartless!

Even though Li Ping and her husband were so poor they could barely survive, there were still people coveting Li Ping's meager earnings.

Later, Li Ping discovered that she could live a carefree life on her own, and with the addition of a daughter, she had no worries and had no interest in marriage at all.

Wen Haotian didn't believe it and wanted to say something more, but Li Sui felt that talking to this person was a waste of her time and became a little impatient: "Does my mother know you're here? If she finds out, she'll fly back immediately and tear your head off."

Wen Haotian's lips twitched: "Is this how Li Ping has taught you all these years? No matter how ugly my relationship with her was back then, I'm still your father by blood!"

The weaver was almost unable to hold back any longer; not only were her teeth itching, but her hands were too.

Li Sui: "You're my dad by blood? So what? Everyone has a jerk dad in their life. If you really want to be sensible and filial, then don't come back. You're just a nuisance!"

Wen Haotian: "..."

In just a few words, Wen Haotian felt a rush of blood to his head.

For so many years, his life has been smooth sailing, except for his ugly divorce from Li Ping.

Everyone around him pampers and spoils him.

At home, even his own son and his current wife treat him with the utmost respect.

He was a king living in his own world, and now that Li Sui had repeatedly disobeyed him, he was extremely displeased.

"you……"

Li Sui had already picked up the phone and called Li Ping.

Li Ping may or may not have slept during this time period.

For example, this time she answered very quickly. The call connected, and Li Ping's clear voice came through: "Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? Don't you know your mother needs to get her beauty sleep?"

Li Sui had the speakerphone on, and Wen Haotian, who was about to lash out, was stunned when he heard Li Ping's voice.

Having not heard that familiar voice for many years, his expression became complicated.

His eyes seemed to reveal three parts nostalgia, three parts sigh, and four parts resentment.

But before he could fully process his complex emotions, Li Sui complained, "Wen Haotian has come to our house."

"what?!"

Li Ping's voice rose an octave to a shrill level. Years of carefree living had eroded her former refinement from the noble character she once possessed in the Li family. She immediately cursed, "That bitch dares to come looking for you?!"

Wen Haotian: "..."

Li Sui's words hadn't really broken Wen Haotian's defenses, but Li Ping's insult made him lose his composure.

He spoke to Li Ping on the other end of the phone, his voice trembling and filled with disbelief:
"Li Ping! How can you be so rude!"
