'Never above you, never below you, always beside you.' ................ "Get out!" " Yes, sir."Long Xia said as she headed for the door. "Not you, Xia. It's them am telling to leave, not you."Zhao Haoran said as he looked at everyone else in the room gesturing for them with his eyes to get the hell out of there. Zhuo Li and Yang Liu followed the rest out but not before giving Long Xia a wink. Once the two were left alone, Long Xia felt as if the room became smaller as she remained standing in front of this powerful male god. "Have a seat."Zhao Haoran offered. Long Xia sat down and fisted her hands on her laps, under the table due to anxiousness. The silence dragged on and this made her more anxious and she finally decided to break the silence.

"I raised you,gave you everything,tolerated your miserable life choices and this is what I get in return!"Long Zhan barked at his daughter as he threw the photos, of her and a man walking in a club together, at her face.
Long Xia looked at the pathetic excuse of a man she called father and sneered inwardly.'Raised me?...when?'.
"After everything I have done for you,you repay me by sleeping around with every single man you meet. Look at the achievements of your siblings and then look at yourself.Your younger sister is a rising actress and your younger brother is a top student in the most popular medical school. And you...you work as a damn waitress for a living. That's why you go around collecting men to sleep with." Long Zhan took a deep breath as he tried to calm his nerves.
"I had worked hard to get you this marriage proposal with the Zhaos and because of your unrestrained character, we lost this chance of becoming related to this powerful family. My company would have gained a lot of benefits from this marriage but look what you did, you unfilial being. This alliance has just been discarded like waste because of you!All the benefits are gone just like the wind."
"Father...."
"Shut up!You even have the nerve to talk back to me! I received these photos today and a call from the Zhao Family patriarch cancelling the marriage plans and you dare try to explain yourself. Is this why you decided to move out of the mansion? So that you can go around whoring.That's right you are a whore."
Long Xia's face darkened at the insult and couldn't remain quiet anymore.
"Then that makes you the father of a whore."
"What did you just say?"
"Oh you didn't hear me? I said that makes you the father of a whore. Also shouting at me and throwing a tantrum won't change anything. Next time before you start making your own speculations, you should investigate matters first.The photos you received in the morning might have been fabricated or something and yet you chose to believe what you saw without consulting me first.And because you saw me with just one guy,you start saying that I've been sleeping around.Do you have any proof?"
Long Xia paused to take a sip of water and then continued.
"Now, I'm not trying to justify myself or something here, I'm stating facts a grown man like you should know."
Long Zhan was angered by his daughter's careless attitude and sharp words that he almost lost it.
"Then tell me why you work as a damn waitress."
"Because I want to."
"Because you want to? Because you want to?! You are the eldest miss of the Long family and you work as a waitress because you want to! You did not even complete your studies in university. What else would I expect from an unfilial child like you? You are a disgrace for this family. I wish you were never born. I want to disown you now..GET OUT!!"
Long Xia calmly looked at the man in front of her and felt like laughing. 'What kind of father doesn't know that his daughter graduated at the top of the class. Tch! What a failure of a man and a father.'
"Gladly.Also no need to disown me because I already did when you planned this marriage alliance with the Zhao family, not for the sake of my happiness but for the sake of your business...You are a failure of a father and a coward at that Mr.Long. From now on, we are unfamiliar with one another. Goodbye."
Long Xia said as she picked her clutch,stood up and walked out of her father's, no Mr.Long's study, leaving a fuming sperm donor in there.
