Chapter 692 The Man Who Doesn’t Understand Romance (1)_1
"Daughter pays respects to Father!"
Shen Furong was brought to the main hall, and as soon as she saw County Magistrate Shen, she immediately kowtowed. Her dewy eyes even looked at him with a melancholy and sorrowful gaze.
This wronged and lamenting gaze, if it had been a few days earlier, Lord Shen County would definitely have been heartbroken. He would have asked her what was wrong? What made her unhappy? Was she feeling wronged? However, looking at this gaze now, all he felt was disgust, followed by hatred!
Nevertheless, though he was displeased, Lord Shen County did still not make trouble for her. He just spoke indifferently: "You have also heard about Lady Yan’s affair. Arguably, I am no longer your father, and you are no longer my Shen family’s daughter. However, considering that we have been father and daughter for quite some time, I am willing to give you a chance. If you can make me proud and accomplish the task I’ve given you, you can still be my daughter, the second Miss in my Shen family. If not, well..." He chuckled coldly, "The bond between us as father and daughter will be severed, and you won’t need to carry the surname Shen anymore!"
Lord Shen County’s meaning was explicit - he was telling Shen Furong that if she failed in the task he assigned her, she might as well die!
Upon hearing this, Shen Furong’s body shuddered slightly. She raised her head apprehensively to look at her once kind and loving father, only to find that there was no warmth in his eyes at all. It was evident - he was serious, with no room for her to resist or negotiate. Therefore, she bit her lip, lowered her head, and said in a subdued voice, "Daughter will do as Father commands!"
"Very good. You do know your place!"
Lord Shen County leaned back in his chair and chuckled coldly.
