“Dad!” Liao Yuyan couldn't help but call out to him.
“You can't always listen to outsiders!” She looked directly into her father's eyes, her voice slightly raised.
“What outsiders?” Liao Qitian frowned in displeasure. “Aunt Liang and Mei'er came with good intentions to visit.”
“Good intentions?” Liao Yuyan scoffed, her repressed emotions nearly bursting forth.
“Don’t you know who they are? They are only after our family's money!”
She pointed at Liang Sihua and Li Mei'er, her eyes blazing with fury.
“They are hypocritical and greedy. What they want is not to care for you, but to gain power and seize everything that belongs to me and my mother!”
Li Mei'er’s face turned pale in an instant, her eyes revealing a look of hurt and grievance.
Liang Sihua appeared shocked and innocent, as if she had heard some absurd tale.
“Mr. Liao, what is Yu Yan saying! How could we…” Liang Sihua said with a quivering voice.
Li Mei'er even rushed to Liao Qitian’s side, tightly gripping his arm.
“Uncle Liao, please don’t be angry. Sister Yu Yan must have some misunderstanding about us.” Her voice was weak, her eyes reddening. “We just wanted to check on Aunt Chu; we really meant no harm.”
Liao Qitian looked at Li Mei'er’s tearful expression, feeling a pang of sympathy.
He turned to Liao Yuyan, his gaze growing cold and unfamiliar.
“Liao Yuyan!” he scolded sharply. “What nonsense are you talking about! Liang Sihua has been taking care of your mother for so many years with dedication, and Mei'er is a kind girl. I know better than you who they are!”
“Don’t slander good people just because of jealousy!”
Jealousy?
Slander?
When Liao Yuyan heard these two words, she felt as if a thousand arrows had pierced her heart.
Her father actually believed that she was jealous of them, that she was slandering them!
He had been completely blinded, how ridiculous!
"Jealous of them? Slandering them?" Liao Yuyan couldn't help but laugh, her laughter filled with endless sorrow and anger.
"Dad, look at their true faces! Look at how you've been enchanted by their sweet words!"
"Are your eyes blind? Is your heart blind?!"
Her voice was hysterical, tears blurring her vision.
Her father's face twisted and blurred in the tearful haze.
"Shut up!" Liao Qitian was furious; he had never seen Liao Yuyan so out of control.
"If you dare to say one more word slandering them, get out!"
Get out?
For the sake of two outsiders, her father wanted her to leave?
Scenes from her past flashed through her mind—her father coldly watching as she was driven out of the house, without a hint of reluctance.
It turned out that he could have been so resolute all along.
"Fine!" Liao Yuyan wiped away her tears, her gaze turning cold and determined.
"Since you believe they are good people, I have nothing more to say."
She stood up straight, her back rigid.
"But I warn you, don't regret it when the time comes!"
She cast one last glance at her mother, who lay silently on the hospital bed, her eyes filled with both remorse and determination.
Her mother gave a slight nod, her eyes reflecting understanding, pain, and support.
Liao Yuyan turned and walked out of the room without looking back.
Behind her, she could hear Li Mei'er’s feigned sobs and her father's furious shouts.
As the door closed, it shut out the noise from within.
Liao Yuyan leaned against the cold wall outside, gasping for breath.
Tears streamed down her face again; the bond between father and daughter seemed to have completely shattered in that moment.
She took a deep breath and wiped away her tears.
It's okay.
She still had her mother.
She no longer needed her father's approval or trust.
Li Mei'er and Liang Sihua were cautious in their actions, leaving no obvious traces behind.
But once something was done, there would always be signs.
Especially in financial dealings, that was a direct reflection of their greed.
For the past few days, she had been secretly observing Liang Sihua, taking advantage of her unguarded moments to sneak a look at her phone and computer several times.
Liang Sihua thought that deleting all records would ensure her safety, but she forgot that data could be recovered.
She spent an entire night using specialized software to restore some of the data from Liang Sihua's phone.
The forged transfer records, their colluded chat logs, and even some ambiguous photos gradually unfolded before her eyes.
There were photos of Li Mei'er with their father, deliberately taken when he was drunk or ill, looking inappropriately intimate.
Liang Sihua's chat records were filled with calculations regarding the Liao family's assets and vicious curses directed at Chu Xinyi.
The evidence was accumulating bit by bit.
But it wasn't enough.
It was insufficient to fully awaken her father or to bring disgrace upon them.
She needed more direct and lethal evidence.
Especially concerning financial matters.
Liao Yuyan entered the study, hoping to read a book to calm her mind, when she suddenly noticed a crumpled piece of paper in the nearby trash can.
Carefully, she unfolded it and discovered that it was a torn piece of paper.
The paper bore the bank's logo and transfer information.
Although it was only a small fragment, the remaining words and numbers on it made her heart beat faster. "...Company..." "...Transfer..." "...One million and five hundred thousand..." "...Li Mei'er..." She pieced the fragments together with trembling hands. Even though it was incomplete, the information on it was clear enough. This was a fragment of a check! From her father's company account, it was transferred - one million and five hundred thousand! The recipient was - Li Mei'er! Anger rushed to her heart. Oh, this is her father. Her father kept saying that they were kind, but he gave them such a huge amount of money behind their backs! This is not a simple "concern", this is a thorough support! With this, plus the records restored in Liang Sihua's mobile phone...
