Sun Chan found it laughable: "You came here to hit me, and now you're saying not to make a fuss? Who did you think was the fool back then?"

Father Yang glared at Sun Chan and pulled Yang Yun aside: "Stop crying! You've been wronged. It's my fault for not protecting you, letting someone bully you like this! It's because you have such an ungrateful sister!"

Sun Chan remained silent and indifferent to her father's accusations.

"Dad! Don't say that." Yang Yun glanced at Sun Chan, feeling wronged: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked Grandpa to send a car for her from the start, none of this would've happened. Sister, please forgive me. Our parents are now separated because of our discord, and my matchmaking failed too—it's all my own doing. I only ask you not to estrange yourself from Dad anymore; otherwise, I won't be able to forgive myself!"

Sun Chan frowned slightly. Is this forcing me to forgive you? Or subtly complaining? You really take me for a fool, saying such obvious provoking words, there's quite some scheming going on here.

Sure enough, Father Yang felt a surge of anger. Yes! The elder daughter kindly sent a car for her exam, but so many problems arose, and Sun Chan didn't exercise any patience; instead, she blew a small issue out of proportion!

If it weren't for Sun Chan, his wife wouldn't have quarreled with him like this! And Yang Yun's matchmaking wouldn't have failed!

At this moment, he didn't know whether finding his daughter was a blessing or a curse.

He looked at Sun Chan with eyes full of irritation: "Your sister is apologizing to you! You have no reaction at all? Do you have no conscience?"

"So why should I react? No matter what she did wrong, as long as she apologizes, I must forgive her?" Sun Chan looked at him indifferently, with cold eyes.

"I don't think she's apologizing; she's stirring up trouble! I don't even know what I did wrong. I didn't ask you to pick me up. You said you were sending a car, but you didn't mention it was Yang Yun's idea. How am I being mean? I waited until it was almost eight, it was too late, so I left. If it wasn't for meeting Gu Junming's friend, I would've missed the exam. But I didn't come looking for trouble with you, yet you came and yelled and fought with me. Once wasn't enough. Regardless of my exams, you caused a scene again! Is this really for my good? Are you deliberately trying to ruin my exams?"

She never spoke so much—her tone was sharp and ruthless, leaving Yang Yun speechless from the questioning.

Gu Junming sneered, "Let's go, Sun Chan. Let's eat and prepare for the next exam."

Yang Yun had nothing to say, only covering her face and continuing to cry. This woman was really hard to deal with!

"You two, stop right there!" Father Yang saw Yang Yun crying and grew even angrier, shouting loudly, "Sun Chan, I'll give you one more chance. Apologize to Yang Yun right away! I'll overlook your lack of upbringing, growing up in the village, and won't hold it against you for hitting your sister!"

"And if I don't apologize?" Sun Chan sneered: "Even if I lack upbringing, I wouldn't see someone in an exam and still irrationally cause a scene! Now, I'm leaving, and you're still blaming me? Are you being reasonable or not! I know parents being biased is normal, but this isn't just favoritism anymore; your heart is twisted! I've made myself clear. I don't need your concern and won't take anything from this woman. Why aren't you satisfied? Must I kneel before your precious elder daughter, like Yang Zhen, coddling her to make you happy? Why should I! Just because we're related by blood?"

"You... what did you just say..." Father Yang was shocked, never expecting Sun Chan to be so formidable. In an instant, he mixed up the girl in front of him, originally gentle and inarticulate, with his wife when she was younger.

Yes, Zhao Jieyun was like this when she was younger. Usually agreeable, willing to suffer losses, but once her line was crossed, there was no going back.

Sun Chan said, "Enough, things have come to this point; I don't want to say anything more. It's absolutely impossible for me to apologize to Yang Yun, and besides, after my exam, I'll be staying at Grandpa's for a while."

Yang Yun screamed, "No way! Why are you going to live in the compound?"

Sun Chan sneered, "Because I am part of the Yang Family, why should I keep tolerating? My family, and I can't see them just because you don't want me to? Yang Yun, I originally didn't want to have anything to do with you, but I kept enduring, and you kept pushing, refusing to leave me alone! I'm not a pushover! Mark my words, in the future, I won't let go of anything that belongs to me! If you dare to provoke me again, I will definitely not be lenient!"

"Shut up, Sun Chan! How can you talk to your sister like this?" Father Yang's furious voice was trembling.

Sun Chan, however, turned a blind eye, dragged Gu Junming: "Let's go eat."

Gu Junming agreed and pulled Sun Chan along to leave.

Yang Yun shook her father's arm: "Dad, look! This is her true face! Her weakness before was all an act. She's so deceitful! You go hit her, why let her walk away after harming someone!"

Father Yang stepped quickly, trying to grab Sun Chan's arm, but Gu Junming directly shouldered him away.

Father Yang staggered and nearly sat on the ground.

Yang Yun supported her father, pointing at Gu Junming angrily: "How dare you bully people? Even as a soldier, is this your conduct? I'll go find your superior in a moment!"

Gu Junming said, "Feel free! I will also report and explain the whole incident, slicing such a big cut in the car tire. If an accident happened in the middle, wouldn't it result in car destruction and death? I suspect you of attempted murder!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Yang Yun's voice changed; she never thought that far!

Gu Junming glanced at the two, looking at Father Yang: "I won't let Sun Chan be beaten again, no matter who it is. Even if it's family that never cared for her, showing up demanding respect as elders, yelling and hitting, but never doing things fairly—why should anyone listen to you?!"

"I am Sun Chan's father! What attitude is this you're talking with!"

Sun Chan said, "I no longer acknowledge that. Not having you as my father, I'm more comfortable."

"I am with Sun Chan. If Sun Chan acknowledges you, so will I. If she doesn't, neither will I," Gu Junming stated calmly.

Father Yang's anger suddenly couldn't find an outlet, after all, they didn't even acknowledge him. What right did he have to claim to be a father? Moreover, he really hadn't cared!

Sun Chan didn't look back: "Let's go, Gu Junming, I'm hungry."

Gu Junming glanced at the two of them, his eyes full of disdain and contempt, let out a sneer, and turned to leave.
