Chapter 2: Little San's Daughter

  "Wheat, wake up..."

  Tong Mai opened his sleepy eyes and saw a familiar yet strange face - his father.

  In an instant, her drowsiness was gone. She glanced at him, especially at the bunch of fiery red roses in his hand, and a thick disdain flashed across the corner of her lips.

  He doesn't even know what kind of flowers his mother likes...

  "It's been so long since we last met, I think you should at least call me once, this is the most basic courtesy." The father's words carried a hint of cold frost, and it wasn't hard to hear his displeasure with Tong Mai.

  "You've been with my mom for so long, I think you should at least know that she likes lilies, not roses. That's the most basic understanding."

  Tong Mai's voice was clear and distinct, every word and sentence ringing out with force, the bright ink pupils flashing with hatred.

  "Yin Mai..."

  At first, Father was a bit angry, and his tone when calling her name was somewhat heavy.

  "My surname is Tong, not Yin." She has her mother's surname, from the beginning to now and forever after, she will be a Tong for generations to come. The stubbornness that permeates every bone in her body makes her appear even more resolute.

  "Wheat, must you treat me like this? The things between your mother and me... how much do you understand?" By the end, Father's voice had become much more subdued.

  "I only know that you indulged in wealth and glory, married Chen Yuhua, and made my mother spend her days in sorrow and pain waiting for you, ultimately dying of depression due to your heartlessness..."

  Tong Mai fearlessly confronted him, but before she could finish speaking, Mr. Yin's palm landed fiercely on her pale cheek, and in an instant, a bright red handprint appeared on her face.

  There were waves of pain rising on her face, but no matter how painful it was, it couldn't compare to the pain in her heart.

  Yin's father's palm had not yet withdrawn, Tong Mai's lips curled up in a smile, "Hit him! Hit him again......" She looked like she was not to be trifled with, like a lioness, her sharp teeth and mouth staring at him.

  In the end, Mr. Yin lowered his hand, and on his slightly aged face, a hint of sorrow seemed to seep through.

  At this time, Tong Mai also closed his mouth, and there was only a lingering resentment in his chest...

  "Go home, everyone is waiting for you."

  A few short words escaped from his throat, and his voice returned to its initial sharpness.

  Hehe... waiting for her... how fake!

  So-called "everyone" is just her stepmother and half-sister, right? If they were really that "kind-hearted", why didn't they go to the airport to pick her up?

  Tong Mai sneered in her heart.

  That's not her home...... But she has to go back.

  She looked at Chen Yuhua with discomfort, similarly, with her presence, Chen Yuhua looking at her must also feel uneasy in her heart...

  After all, Tong Mai's existence is a manifestation of her husband's infidelity to her. Which woman would see this and feel comfortable in her heart?

  At that time, Tong Mu and Yin Fu were originally a couple. However, after Chen Yuhua's intervention, coupled with her wealthy family background, Yin Fu eventually chose Chen Yuhua for his future prospects and abandoned Tong Mu.

  Later on, Yin's father might have loved Tong's mother in his heart, and the two secretly resumed their relationship behind Chen Yuhua's back, and later had Tong Mai...

  Tong Mai thought about the past of the previous generation, a thread of bitter memories flashed by.

  Her mother was promoted from a concubine to a legitimate wife... and she, at most, is just the daughter of a "concubine".

  For a moment, she became quiet and followed behind her father, seemingly calm on the surface but with a mind full of turmoil...
