Chapter 598 The Secret of Birth 2
By this point, Shen Jianhua no longer wanted anything to do with Shen Mianmian and the thought of having to pay for her schooling was out of the question; he felt that raising her for so many years was already more than fulfilling his duty.
"Am I really not your illegitimate daughter?" Shen Mianmian asked again; what she couldn’t let go of wasn’t Zhou Lanfang’s poor treatment but rather the indifference of her supposed biological father, Shen Jianhua, towards everything that had happened to her.
Even until his dying breath, he never told her the truth.
Now that she learned Shen Jianhua wasn’t her biological father, Shen Mianmian was not only not sad but she actually felt an unusual sense of relief.
If he wasn’t her biological father, why should she yearn for any familial blood ties?
"I could never have a daughter like you," Shen Jianhua snorted, his face reddening as he said, "Didn’t you say before that you wanted to break off our relationship? You go back and transfer your household registration; whoever wants to take you in can take you in. Don’t ever say you are my daughter again; I have nothing to do with you, not even a penny’s worth."
He had already wasted so many years raising her, and spending even one more penny on her would pain his heart.
Initially, his paternal affection for Shen Mianmian was largely because he hoped she would care for him in his old age. Now that things had escalated to this state, and caring for him was no longer possible, he certainly wouldn’t expect to spend another penny on her.
