Chapter 186: Chapter 186: On behalf of my whole family, thank you!

Ji Weitian dodged her touch and walked into the store expressionlessly, heading straight to Ji Mofeng.

"Why are you here?"

"Seeing an elder, don’t you know how to greet?" Ji Mofeng met her gaze, his expression suddenly turning grim as he scolded.

His condescending tone hardly sounded like that of an elder, but more like a sovereign inspecting his realm.

Just look at their current stance.

This was her adoptive parents’ shop, but the only ones seated were Ji Mofeng and Su Sumei. Her adoptive parents bustled about serving them tea and water, carefully attending to their needs... Ji Weitian felt a surge of anger in her heart, wanting to throw these two out!

But before Ji Weitian could speak, Shen Yixian at her side had already tugged her arm, "Tiantian, this is your dad, you can’t talk to him like that."

Lin Ci also chimed in, "Yeah, they’ve come all the way to see you. Have a good chat with them; after all, you’re family."

"Dad, Mom!" Ji Weitian frowned in disagreement.

Shen Yixian and Lin Ci shook their heads at her simultaneously, as if to say it was okay, they weren’t aggrieved. They’d lucked out with such a wonderful daughter, and as long as the Ji Family didn’t try to take her away, they didn’t care about anything else.

This made Ji Weitian feel as if she’d been punched in the chest, a mix of frustration and speechlessness.

"Weitian, don’t be so hard on your dad. After all, you are his flesh and blood. He’s here because he cares about you."

Su Sumei added nonchalantly, "We called you so many times to ask you to come home, but you refused. Your dad couldn’t see you and was worried you weren’t doing well. That’s why he came to visit you; blood is thicker than water, after all."

Words like "flesh and blood" and "blood is thicker than water" felt like knives to Shen Yixian’s and Lin Ci’s hearts.

Constantly reminding them that they should be grateful to the Ji Family, that any fortune in their descendants was the Ji Family’s doing.

Ji Weitian saw the dismay on her adoptive parents’ faces, her eyes darkened, and her tone became more forceful, "What exactly are you here for? Speak plainly. I’ve been missing for so many years, and the Ji Family never thought to look for me. Now suddenly you talk of father-daughter affection; aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue with such talk?"

"Mommy’s right!"

Little Glutinous Rice Dumpling, who had been lying on the table with his hands propping up his cheeks and watching the show, suddenly clapped his hands excitedly.

The sound of his clapping, "clap clap clap," seemed to hit Ji Mofeng and Su Sumei in the face.

Both their faces turned embarrassingly red.

"Weitian, I can tolerate your disrespect, but Mofeng is your biological father. How can you speak to him like this?" Su Sumei took the opportunity to instigate.

Catching sight of Ji Mofeng’s increasingly ugly expression and about to fan the flames, she realized Ji Weitian didn’t pay her any heed.

She simply reminded her,

"I remember I’m already of age, with the capacity for independent civil conduct, there’s no need for your concern. If you truly consider me a daughter of the Ji Family, then please stay out of my life. My whole family thanks you."

"You—" Su Sumei was choked up, unable to vent her frustration.

Seeing that Ji Weitian was utterly disregarding her, she immediately turned her ire towards Shen Yixian and Lin Ci.

"It’s your fault, isn’t it? The Ji Family entrusted their daughter to you, and this is how you teach her? You teach her to be so unrecognizing of her own kin, to defy her biological father to his face, to embarrass her elders. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?"
