“Shen Chen, you…”

Xia An’an’s every word was stifled by Shen Chen. 

Veins popped up on her pretty face, and it was clear that she was displeased. 

*Vroom!!*

Once she stepped on the accelerator, the sports car drove off at top speed. 

It was as if she was trying to find a hole to bury her head in and simply disappear from sight. 

Shen Chen’s smiling eyes sank a little as she looked down at her soaking wet shirt and sighed. 

While she remained angry with Shen Zhongming, she still ended up going to the store to buy peanuts. 

From the moment Shen Chen stumbled out of the door, Shen Zhongming had been keeping an ear out. 

Ten minutes later, he heard some noise outside the door. 

He could not help but immediately step forward to open the door. 

Sure enough, Shen Chen was leaning against the door with her hands around her chest and her eyes closed. 

Seeing her in that state, Shen Zhongming froze for a moment.

He knew that if he had not opened the door, she would have simply stood outside for a few good hours. 

Shen Chen opened her eyes wide and gave Shen Zhongming a faint glance. 

“Girl.” Shen Zhongming smiled like he was trying to be affable. “Why are you back so soon?”

“Take your peanuts and get lost!” Shen Chen angrily threw the stuff she bought at him and stepped into the house. 

“Girl, what are you so mad about? Come, have a drink with your dad…” Shen Zhongming closed the door and brought the peanuts with him as he trailed after her. 

Shen Chen was too lazy to pay him any attention. She took a glass from the kitchen and poured herself a glass full of Erguotou. 

When Shen Zhongming saw that, he reminded, “Girl, take it easy!”

Shen Chen rolled her eyes at him. “Mind your own business.”

Shen Zhongming poured the peanuts into a plate and pushed it to her. “This liquor’s quite strong. Have some peanuts to ease your stomach first.”

Shen Chen just looked at Shen Zhongming with a deep gaze. 

She felt really bad every time she saw her father like that—very, very bad. 

She did not say anything as she drank a glass full of liquor in a single go. 

Her stomach began to burn the moment she gulped the strong drink down. 

She remained silent as she continued to fill her glass, and after a few glassesful of strong liquor, her eyes gradually blurred. 

Witnessing the situation, Shen Zhongming hurriedly snatched the bottle away. “That’s enough, Girl.”

Shen Chen stared at him and roared, “Mind your own business, will you? What are you doing minding mine?!”

Shen Zhongming’s eyes suddenly turned red as he lowered his head, seemingly in repentance. “It’s all my fault. Your dad’s useless! I couldn’t take care of your mother, and I couldn’t take care of your little brother…”

Shen Chen looked at him and smiled bitterly. As she did so, tears soon rolled down from the corners of her eyes. 

Shen Zhongming stepped forward and squatted in front of her as he held her hand. 

It was also right then that Shen Zhongming discovered his 20-year-old daughter had so many calluses on her palm. 

For a time, he felt extremely distressed. 

“Girl, Daddy’s going to change, Daddy’s going to change!”

“Girl, trust your dad this once, all right…”

As he spoke, Shen Chen finally broke and sobbed. 

After a long while, she wiped away her tears and yelled at the empty eyes above her. “You damn crapshooter! I don’t want you to change! As long as you’re fine, that’s enough for me.”

Shen Chen’s words sent a shudder down Shen Zhongming’s body, and his eyes turned dull. 

At that moment, he could not even… muster a sentence. 

Shen Chen took a deep breath and composed herself in a quick few seconds. 

Her extremely strong ability to self-heal was noteworthy. 

It was as though the person who was crying earlier was not Shen Chen! 

Plus, how could Shen Zhongming not know that his daughter had razor blades for a mouth and tofu for a heart. 

As she stood up, she glanced at her father. “I’m going out for a walk.”

Following that, she went out again.
