49 All of our actions are our responsibility

"Ah, Xie!! W-what happened?" Jiang Ruo's voice trembled. From her husband's tone, Jiang Xie must've done something grave.

Jiang Xie kept silent but her hands were tightly crutched into a fist and are trembling lightly.

Seeing that Jiang Xie doesn't intend to talk at all, Jiang Li took out the files sent to him and showed it to his wife.

"These! Look at this! If she doesn't deserve an expulsion then I don't know what is! "

Jiang Li was really fuming with anger now if this matter gets out, he couldn't imagine the blow the Jiang Family would take! People would surely laugh at them! It was too humiliating!

"T-this... Jiang Xie, tell me this isn't true... You won't do something like this, right." Jiang Ruo's voice was trembling.

"It is all true! I can't believe that I, Jiang Li has a daughter like you. It's a great shame for our Jiang Family!" Jiang Li said while looking at Jiang Xie with contempt in his eyes.

Jiang Xie couldn't stop herself anymore as she burst out, " Ha! Daughter? When have you treated me like a daughter? How come I've never heard of it? As far as I know, there's only one daughter in your eyes! It was older sister!! "

Jiang Xie has a crazed expression on her face, she didn't care anymore!

"Yes! I did all of these! I used others and I even used my own body! For who? It's for you father!! Because no matter what I do, you won't look at me. Its always about older sister! It was never about me! Hahaha but now you're actually looking at me, maybe I should continue doing these so that you'll keep loo—"

A loud slap echoed throughout the room.

Jiang Xie was dumbfounded as she held her cheek that's still red due to the slap from Jiang Li.

"Haven't you humiliated us enough? You ungrateful wretch!." Jiang Li said coldly.

Jiang Xie couldn't believe it. Jiang Li never raised his hand against her before.

This was a first..

And the most painful thing she received from her own father.

"You slapped me!?! I am still your daughter!! What kind of father are you!?"

Jiang Xie shouted madly, her eyes were moist from tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. Her fist was trembling from anger, resentment, and pain that she feels.

"I have no daughter like you." Jiang Li answered her simply and coldly.

His eyes were cold and stern while looking at Jiang Xie.

It's a look with traces of disgusts and anger.

It's not something a father would use to look at his own daughter, by now, it really seems like Jiang Li stopped treating Jiang Xie as her own daughter.

Jiangxi's whole body shooked, her father was now looking at her but it's not the look that she was yearning for.

It was not the look that she wants!

Why?

Even though I have done everything!

Even though I have sacrificed many things!!

Why won't you look at me properly?!

Why won't you look at me as your own daughter!!

Jiang Xie despaired, she just wanted her father to acknowledge her, like a kid wanting to catch her parents' attention. Is it too much to ask?

However, what she didn't realize at all is that this was all brought upon her by herself. She was consumed by her jealousy and hatred that she didn't manage to see things clearly.

For example, is her mother who never treated her poorly but was cast aside by Jiang Xie because of her obsession with her father.

If she just continued persistently on improving herself, perhaps her father might have acknowledged her after some time but she chose the hard path which resulted in the situation she was in right now.

All of our actions are our responsibility.

No matter what the results, we could only blame ourselves. Not others.
