Chapter 1091 - 1090: The Truth Emerges 4
Before Secretary Zheng and Chen Xingguo could speak, Wang Xinlai reflexively slapped his daughter!
"What nonsense have you been spouting to people outside? You’re a well-behaved girl, always around your mother and me, when would anyone have the chance to harass you?" Wang Xinlai, his eyes bloodshot, pulled her ear and roared hoarsely, "How many times have I told you that having a respectful and honest son-in-law is better than anything else? Why are you always fixated on Guan Cheng? Ruining the family’s reputation, I’ll beat you to death!"
As he spoke, he looked around for something to hit her with, while his wife clung tightly to him, and in the process, she managed to pull his hand away from Wang Lingzhi’s ear, although it was a bit too late. Wang Lingzhi’s ear had been pulled so hard by Wang Xinlai that it was bright red, almost bleeding.
Wang Lingzhi, covering her ear and with tears filling her eyes, not only felt no gratitude for her father’s deliberate action to exonerate her but instead accused him, "What era are we in? You’re still fixated on finding a son-in-law to join the household. If not for the phrase ’son-in-law to join the household,’ would Guan Cheng have treated me this way? I just like Guan Cheng, what is wrong with that?"
"You dare to speak! Have you no shame? You’ve completely thrown away my dignity!" Wang Xinlai wished he could strangle his daughter who he had so many hopes for. His expression became even more ferocious.
Wang Lingzhi sniffled and took a couple of steps backward, fearing her father would break free from her mother’s restraint and reach her, "Dad, that’s my happiness, my lifelong matter! I’ve already secretly agreed to marry Guan Cheng, I’m already his person, it’s a done deal. If you really care for me, you should find a way to make Guan Cheng marry me, everything else is meaningless!"
No sooner had her words fallen, than Guan Cheng, at the door, said, "Really? I wasn’t aware of that."
