The Love That Remains

Chapter 27: You will always be my daughter



Chapter 27: You will always be my daughter

Why was I drunk last night?

I scratch my head. I don't remember drinking. Heck! I only met a talking cat god. When he turned into a human being, he said something to me. I can't recall his words no matter how hard I think. My head hurts whenever I try to recall.

Ghosts. Gods. Secrets. Among them all, there is Sung Jun. In this life, I have turned into his fiancee. I can't accept it. I don't want to fall into his trap again. I am not marrying him.

I don't go straight to my home. I want to meet my father. How could he decide my marriage without my permission?

I hail a cab to the fang main house. The first person I see after entering the vicinity is the lady ghost.

"Aisa!" She is excited to see me. "You are back. I have missed you."

"Lady, we have only met once. Stop acting familiar." I make a face. "Where is my father?"

"Boohoo~" She ignores my question and circles around me. "Your grandfather is furious. The Mu family broke the engagement. Do you think that it's a good idea to come here today?"

Who cares if that old man is furious? What about me? I am dead furious. If this ghost doesn't want to tell me, I will find Fang Qi myself.

I notice that the servants are eyeing me peculiarly. I shrug my shoulders. I might have been labeled as a crazy one by now. I keep walking. The ghost lady is following me while babbling about how my grandfather reacted. Her obsession with my grandfather is serious. Good! She should keep haunting that old man.

"Young miss?" Lan Hui Yao finds me at the door. He is surprised to see me. "Are you feeling well?"

After that day at the hospital, he called me a few times to ask me if I was doing well. I didn't hear Fang Qi's response to my outburst. I haven't been kicked out of the family despite asking it out loud at the hospital.

They can't threaten me with the same thing again.

"Where is Fang Qi?" I can't hide the anger in my tone. Losing my temper might not be an answer, but I can't control it now.

"Young Miss, you shouldn't call him by his name. He's still your father." He eyes me solemnly. Lan Hui Yao and Fang Qi have been raised together. He's also Fang Qi's right hand. "Please wait. I will tell master about you."

I pinch my lips tightly. I shouldn't be throwing my temper at the wrong person. But, I won't call him my father. He's the one who rejected me as his daughter that day. In my past life, our relationship was like that. We barely spoke to each other. I wouldn't visit the main house unless it was important.

I feel someone's gaze on me. I turn around and find a little kid standing near the door. Half of his body is hidden behind the door. He is staring at me curiously. Fang Rui is only five at the moment. He's my stepbrother.

In my past life, I didn't see him much. I was too busy with work after graduating from high school. He and I barely knew each other. I am sure that he was aware of my existence. But, he didn't try to contact me. I think that everyone from the Fang Family was prohibited to contact me. I mostly talked to Lan Hui Yao whenever I wanted to send a message to the Fang main house.

"Rui-er."

A petite woman walks to him. Chang Meng. She's my stepmother. She's a stranger to me. I don't think that we have ever exchanged words.

She gives me a gentle nod before dragging Fang Rui away from the spot.

"Mother, I want to talk to my sister."

"Your father won't like it."

"Why I can't talk to her? She is not a bad person."

Their voices become faint. I don't hear how she answered him. It must have been Fang Qi who prohibited everyone from talking to me. This family is not my family. I am just an unwanted stranger in this family.

Fang Qi steps inside the room. His expression is neither cold nor warm. He sighs as he takes a seat opposite me. I wait for him to say something first. He doesn't say anything. The air around us turns gloomy.

"Cut me out of the Fang family register." I give myself a mental clap for keeping my voice that calm. "I don't want to be called your child in public."

He narrows his eyes at me. The anger in his eyes is evident. Why he is angry though? I am giving him what he wants.

"Is that you want to discuss?" He scoffs at me. "You will always be my daughter. I am not cutting your name out of the family register."

I laugh at him. "Mr. Fang, I don't intend to become the dog who guards the house while waiting for the right master to grow up. Fang Rui is your son. You should be the one who takes care of the company. Stop being a coward."

Both of us can see the dead. It doesn't mean that I will stop living my life. I won't hide inside my house. If the dead come to pick on me again, I am going to teach them all a lesson.
