The old man's eyes reddened with anger, and it took him a long while to spit out two words: "You bastard!"
Xu Nuo nodded. "A bastard indeed."
Xu Wenhua shouted angrily, "This is your Third Granduncle. Even if you don't know him, you should respect him for his age alone."
Then he added with feigned heartbreak, "Your mother went entirely too far. To think she raised a perfectly good daughter of the Xu family to be so ignorant of worldly matters!
"Now that your father is here, I naturally must correct your temperament. Otherwise, who knows how much you'll suffer once you marry into your husband's family."
Someone nearby burst into laughter. "So they don't just want her money, they want her life."
The Xu family was left speechless. These bystanders were entirely too irritating! What did this have to do with them?
A wave of sorrow rose in Xu Nuo's heart. This was her biological father.
