"Weilan." Shen Tianming also spoke up, "Heyan just wants the best for you, don't be like this."
"For my own good, you tricked the substantial shares out of my hands?" Weilan was utterly disdainful of this reasoning.
"He truly has your best interests at heart, don't think nonsense." Shen Tianming's voice grew much louder.
"For my own good? You all set a trap, and I walked right into it. Now, you want me to step back out, but it's always easier to invite the gods than to send them away."
Weilan casually tugged at her lips, only feeling how calculating her parents were.
In fact, after all their scheming, they never took her happiness into consideration; their calculations were only about Shen Lu, they wanted the best for Shen Lu, never really thinking about her.
Shen Tianming's expression froze, and he opened his mouth without speaking.
Weilan lowered her gaze, her voice heavy, "Dad, you should have understood this principle long ago. Why do you keep asking this of me?"
