Chapter 80: White Lotus Wan Strikes Again, Using a Retreat As a Way to Advance

Shen Wan hadn't expected that her recent show of filial affection would have such a significant impact on her cheap father, Shen Chunjiang. If she had known, she would have devoted all her energy to pacifying Shen Chunjiang instead of Shen Qian.

"Aunt." she gazed at Yang Lan with sincere eyes, "I'm truly sorry for causing you so much trouble. I...," Shen Wan pursed her lips as if she had made a momentous decision. "I won't go. It doesn't matter."

Although she said so, her resolute expression didn't seem to convey a sense of "it doesn't matter." On the contrary, it seemed quite important!

Everyone present saw through this "using a retreat as a way to advance" tactic, except for Shen Chunjiang.

Shen Chunjiang's gaze brimmed with even greater compassion as he insisted, "No! You must go!"

"Dad..." Shen Wan's eyes welled up with tears, filled with the adoration and admiration that Shen Chunjiang found hard to resist.
