I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Arrived Late_1

Watching Feng Lijuan and Chen Yuting pack their things, ready to leave, Dong Qikang and Dong Junjie’s expressions were very unsightly.

Dong Qikang couldn’t help saying, "Yuting, you can actually still live at home. You can still consider me your dad."

He didn’t care whether Feng Lijuan left, but he cared a lot about Chen Yuting.

Chen Yuting was the person whom both he and his son had built a connection with through Liu Chao.

If Chen Yuting continued to live here and still acknowledged him as her dad, he would still have the chance to exploit Liu Chao’s connections.

Chen Yuting looked at Dong Qikang with an indifferent gaze and said, "Dong Qikang, all these years, I have never considered you my dad."

Dong Qikang’s face changed, "Yuting, how... how can you say that, you came to our home when you were just a few years old."

His face was full of disbelief. He didn’t understand how his usually compliant stepdaughter could say such things.

"Why?" Chen Yuting said with a cold laugh, "Although I came to your house when I was just a few years old, have you ever cared about me?"

"The way you treat your son and the way you treat me are completely different."

"Every time Dong Junjie made a mistake, the blame would fall on me, and even though you knew it was Dong Junjie who erred, you would still beat and scold me."

"When I was young, you would buy gifts for Dong Junjie but never bought me any."

"You took Dong Junjie on trips but never took me even once."

"When Dong Junjie was bullied by others outside, you would find people to take revenge for him."

"When I was bullied by others, you would only say that I was useless."

"You bought branded clothes for Dong Junjie but only ever bought me clothes from ordinary brands."

"You sent Dong Junjie to good schools while I could only attend ordinary ones."

"Do you think I should consider you my dad? Do you even qualify?"

Chen Yuting expressed all the grievances she had endured in the Dong family over the years.

Hearing this, Dong Qikang’s face turned from green to white.

At a loss for words.

What Chen Yuting said was all true; he had never truly considered his stepdaughter.

In his heart, there was only Dong Junjie, absolutely no place for Chen Yuting.

His treatment of Chen Yuting was limited to providing the bare essentials for food and clothing, and he showed no interest in the rest.

"Chen Yuting, no matter what, it was my dad who raised you. To speak of him like this, how are you any different from an ungrateful wretch!" Dong Junjie cursed angrily.

"Yuting, don’t bother with them, let’s go," Feng Lijuan said, dragging two large suitcases, leading Chen Yuting away.

All she wanted was to leave this home as soon as possible. There was no need for further words.

"Dammit, truly ungrateful wretches, I really wish I could kill them!"

Dong Junjie felt extremely indignant.

Feng Lijuan had taken 3.12 million from the family assets.

That amount of money was enough for him to buy a decent sports car.

The way Chen Yuting heartlessly spoke just now was simply infuriating.

"Alright, no more about that. You’re at an age where you can’t even control your own emotions. I’m truly disappointed," Dong Qikang said, disappointed.

Dong Junjie didn’t say a word.

"Ah, I really should have given Chen Yuting more attention. If I had, she might have remembered the father-daughter affection even if she left with Feng Lijuan. What a pity," Dong Qikang sighed.

"Dad, what do we do now?" Dong Junjie said despondently.

Now, in the company, they, father and son, had a hard time getting along, with no one showing them a friendly face.

Everyone could see that the boss was pushing them out.

If it had been before, he would have thought nothing of it.

Because of Chen Yuting and Liu Chao’s relationship, they could have found a decent job through Liu Chao.

But now, Dong Qikang had divorced Feng Lijuan, and Chen Yuting had completely severed ties with them.

They were unable to leverage Chen Yuting to build a connection with Liu Chao anymore.

The future looked bleak.

"Ah," Dong Qikang sighed again, and sat down on the sofa.

"Dad, we shouldn’t have forced Chen Yuting to break up with Shen Dong. If Chen Yuting hadn’t broken up with Shen Dong and had gotten married instead, you would now be Shen Dong’s father-in-law, and I would be Shen Dong’s brother-in-law. It would have been easy for us to get a high-level position at the Dongyan Guild or Shuidilao," Dong Junjie said, filled with regret.

Once again thinking of Shen Dong, his heart was full of remorse.

At first, when he met Shen Dong, he kept mocking him and pushing Shen Dong to leave Chen Yuting.

Thinking back to that scene now, Dong Junjie just felt a burning pain on his face.

Shen Dong now owned Dongyan Company and Shuidilao, making an unimaginable amount of money every day.

If Chen Yuting had married Shen Dong, the two of them would have had no problem being executives at Dongyan Guild or Shuidilao.

He was more inclined to be an executive at Dongyan Guild, where he could hit on beautiful female live streamers.

Regrettably, these were just thoughts he could entertain.

"Sigh, stop thinking about such impossible things," Dong Qikang said, shaking his head with a sigh.

His life and career had reached this point, indeed, because of Shen Dong.

But now, what was the use of thinking about these things?

Dwelling on the past, which could no longer be reclaimed, would only cause himself more distress.

...

In Hai City, a certain neighborhood.

Feng Lijuan and Chen Yuting had rented a two-bedroom apartment here, and it was already neatly arranged.

It was now eight o’clock in the evening, and the mother and daughter had just finished dinner not long ago.

"Yuting, will you come with me to find your dad, okay?" Feng Lijuan asked.

She had said during dinner that they would go to Chen Yuanxiang’s place after eating.

They would take their luggage and block his door, planning to stay at Chen Yuanxiang’s house tonight.

Bringing Chen Yuting with her would increase the chances of success.

Even if he didn’t have regard for her, Chen Yuanxiang might let them in for the sake of Chen Yuting.

In any case, it was to say they were out of options, and she didn’t believe Chen Yuanxiang could be so heartless as to refuse them entry.

She was acting out of desperation.

Because that woman was Chen Yuanxiang’s neighbor.

She really feared that woman would get together with Chen Yuanxiang.

If that were to happen, she would lose all hope.

"Mom, I won’t go. If you want to go, you go. Besides, I advise you not to go. It will only embarrass you. Dad won’t accept you back," Chen Yuting said.

"Why not? If he hasn’t accepted me back, it only shows that I haven’t done enough," Feng Lijuan refused to give up.

"Mom, I really won’t go. You go by yourself," Chen Yuting shook her head.

Some things, she really couldn’t bring herself to do.

"Sigh," Feng Lijuan, seeing she really couldn’t persuade her daughter, could only let out a sigh and leave, dragging a suitcase with her.

After nine o’clock, Feng Lijuan arrived at Chen Yuanxiang’s doorstep.

She knocked on the door.

She saw Chen Yuanxiang’s car downstairs and noticed that there were lights on in the house; Chen Yuanxiang was definitely home.

Soon, the door opened.

But the one who opened the door wasn’t Chen Yuanxiang, it was the woman she had encountered before.

Why was this woman still in Chen Yuanxiang’s house so late?

And it seemed she was still wearing pajamas.

Could it be that the two of them were already together?

Feng Lijuan’s head started buzzing immediately.

Lin Shulei saw Feng Lijuan, paused for a moment, and after regaining her composure, asked, "Miss Feng, are you looking for Brother Xiang?"

Feng Lijuan asked coldly, "What are you doing in Chen Yuanxiang’s house?"

Lin Shulei replied calmly, "I’m with Xiang now."

Upon hearing this, Feng Lijuan’s vision darkened, and she almost fainted.

The two were indeed together; she had come too late.

"What are you doing here?"

Just then, Chen Yuanxiang appeared at the door, standing next to Lin Shulei.
