Chapter 223: Half-truth

She couldn't hold back her anger and scolded Yu Yan sternly, "Kneel down!"

Li Xin's years of intimidation made Yu Yan's legs go weak and she automatically knelt down. Her face also turned pale.

Li Xin glared at Yu Yan. "Raise your hands!"

Yu Yan raised her palm shakily with her palm facing up.

Li Xin used the wooden handle of the iron spoon to hit her palm a few times.

Yu Hai heard Li Xin's reprimand at the top of the stairs. After entering the room, he quickly closed the door and grabbed Li Xin's hand as he advised anxiously, "Let's talk things out. Let's listen to the reason the child lied first."

When Yu Yan saw her adoptive father present, she relaxed a little. She quickly thought of an excuse and said with a long face, "I just wanted you guys to care more about me."
