Yu Dong didn't wait for Yu Tong to say anything instead she turned around to leave. Seeing that Yu Tong seemed to have understood what she was trying to say.
Yu Dong didn't bother with her anymore and chased after the group of Mers that were walking towards the tea shop at a lightning speed.
She didn't want these Mers to get entangled in a mess while she wasn't watching. After all they once worked in the tavern getting teased was something that was bound to happen.
Yu Dong left while Yu Tong stared at her vanishing back. Her words still ringing in her ears ..'I can do whatever I want because I have the ability to do so but what do you have?'
That's right what did she have? Her Daddy was an ambitious Mer. He was looking forward to having connections with the people in the town. He wanted to raise his standard from just being a country bumpkin to a father-in-law of a good looking town Mer.
She knew how many dreams and goals her Daddy had regarding her wedding and the son-in-law that he wanted to bring in their family.
No matter how she thought about it Li Hanjing was nowhere near the dream son-in-law that her daddy had in his mind.
She was certain that her Daddy had someone in his mind who had both money and virtue and Li Hanjing and neither of these. In fact she wasn't even sure why she was attracted to Li Hanjing.
Just like her Daddy she has always wanted someone from the town with good background and pure body. She knew that being a mother to a bastard was something to be embarrassed about. Neither her family nor the society would let her live this down.
There was countless reasons for her to give up on Li Hanjing and she didn't even have the ability to feed Li Hanjing much less his child.
At the age of seventeen she was still relying on her mother to feed her if she was still dependent on someone else then how can Li Hanjing depend on her?
She turned her gaze at Yu Dong who was walking in front of the group of the Mers.
Her heroic aura was enough to make every hooligan look away. That was something that never happened with her before.
There was one time when she used all her savings to take Li Hanjing on a date she was supposed to be the one protecting him but in the end she was punched in her face while Li Hanjing had to help her out of the trouble at that time what did he say?
'Little girl I appreciate you wanting to help me but I am more than capable to handle such a situation myself.'
That's right she couldn't even protect him from a hooligan. How will she protect him from her ferocious Daddy?
Yu Tong felt that she was being submerged in endless darkness after experiencing a setback. She finally realized how weak and naive she was she only recovered her wits after standing in the middle of the road for at least half of the day.
Her shirt was soaked in sweat yet Yu Tong didn't feel a thing when she returned home. Her complexion was pale and she looked like she had been robbed of money. So when Qiu Bai saw her battered appearance his heart ached as he questioned her repeatedly. "What's wrong? What happened? Were you robbed off? Did you lose all your money? I have already said that you shouldn't go to those dodgy places! Nothing good comes out of it. Don't you know that there are only good for nothings shameless sluts working there?"
Something snapped inside Yu Tong as she glared at her Daddy she shrugged off his sticky paws and angrily growled. "What do you mean that they are nothing but good for nothings? Have you forgotten that you were the one who told cousin Dong that it was a place where the celestial beauties live? That it was a good place if one wants peace and calm? Now that I am going there you have a problem with that ?"
" Damned girl! How dare you compare yourself to that bitch? Who is she and who are you? I did that for you so that you will have a better chance to gain the inheritance from your grandmother. If that brat married one of those shameless sluts I would be over the moon! Your grandmother would have never forgiven her but she was smart and didn't fall for it." Raising his hand Qiu Bai lightly slapped Yu Tong on the arm with the correct amount of force as he couldn't bring himself to hit Yu Tong when the latter looked so pale. "But you are different! You are my daughter ..never in a thousand years can you marry an entertainer! Do you understand that?"
Yu Tong turned her head jerkily to look at her Daddy suddenly she felt like she was being dragged into an ice cave. She was looking at her Daddy in a new light like she has never before.
No wonder Yu Dong looked at her like she was a fool. Her Daddy was not only ambitious but also scheming.
Before this she thought that her Daddy was perfect and whatever he did was because he wanted the best for her but only now she realized that her Daddy only did what was best for him.
He only cared about the inheritance rather than her happiness. To think that he schemed for so long to get Yu Dong out of the line of inheritance.
It made the small hairs on the back of her neck stand up. If she really brought the pregnant Li Hanjing here with the intention of marrying him in the end she might not even find Li Hanjing's bones!
Yu Tong shivered and nearly fainted she was going to make a big mistake! If not for Yu Dong stopping her on time.
"Tong'er do you hear what I just said?" When Qiu Bai didn't receive a reply he immediately poked Yu Tong who snapped out of her daze and shook him off at once.
"I know what to do you don't need to tell me."
'What capabilities do you have?'
Yu Tong gritted her teeth.. She would have to get out of this family first.
