บท 123: The Reason [2]

"He is a liar, a fraud, and a dangerous man Shi Lian," Zheng Yuan says, keeping his voice firm as he places his palm on Shi Lian's shoulder.

Shi Lian frowns and looks at her father in disbelief. "What are you even saying, father?"

"See? He didn't even tell you who he is" he scoffs, boasting about his surety.

It's true that he never really speaks much about but he did tell her a lot today. He expressed what he never shared with anyone before so she believes her father is making things up.

When she does not say anything, her father continues, "Do you know just what he truly does under that mask of a rich tycoon?"

Shi Lian looks at him, unable to say anything because she doesn't even know what her father is implying. She bites the inner cheek and stands there without saying anything. What should she even reply? She knows what Zichen shows to her, except that she does not know anything about him.
