Chapter 27: You will always be my daughter (2/2)

I feel someone's gaze on me. I turn around and find a little kid standing near the door. Half of his body is hidden behind the door. He is staring at me curiously. Fang Rui is only five at the moment. He's my stepbrother.

In my past life, I didn't see him much. I was too busy with work after graduating from high school. He and I barely knew each other. I am sure that he was aware of my existence. But, he didn't try to contact me. I think that everyone from the Fang Family was prohibited to contact me. I mostly talked to Lan Hui Yao whenever I wanted to send a message to the Fang main house.

”Rui-er.”

A petite woman walks to him. Chang Meng. She's my stepmother. She's a stranger to me. I don't think that we have ever exchanged words.

She gives me a gentle nod before dragging Fang Rui away from the spot.

”Mother, I want to talk to my sister.”

”Your father won't like it.”

”Why I can't talk to her? She is not a bad person.”

Their voices become faint. I don't hear how she answered him. It must have been Fang Qi who prohibited everyone from talking to me. This family is not my family. I am just an unwanted stranger in this family.

Fang Qi steps inside the room. His expression is neither cold nor warm. He sighs as he takes a seat opposite me. I wait for him to say something first. He doesn't say anything. The air around us turns gloomy.

”Cut me out of the Fang family register.” I give myself a mental clap for keeping my voice that calm. ”I don't want to be called your child in public.”

He narrows his eyes at me. The anger in his eyes is evident. Why he is angry though? I am giving him what he wants.

”Is that you want to discuss?” He scoffs at me. ”You will always be my daughter. I am not cutting your name out of the family register.”

I laugh at him. ”Mr. Fang, I don't intend to become the dog who guards the house while waiting for the right master to grow up. Fang Rui is your son. You should be the one who takes care of the company. Stop being a coward.”

Both of us can see the dead. It doesn't mean that I will stop living my life. I won't hide inside my house. If the dead come to pick on me again, I am going to teach them all a lesson.
