The teacup shattered, frightening Ji Mengran into taking a step back. The hot tea splattered onto her slippers, while the glass fragments scattered across the floor.

Ji Mengran raised her eyes in disbelief. "You'll only listen to Ji Nuan's words. You won't even listen to my explanation?"

"Is there a need for an explanation?" Ji Hongwen's expression was frigid. "You are my daughter. How can I not know your character? Back when Ji Nuan was about to marry Mo Jingshen, you already threw a tantrum with me over it. From then on, I've always known that you have thoughts about your own brother-in-law! Because you are my daughter, I gave you face and didn't expose you. You are the one who stirred up this trouble! No one else can be blamed!"

Ji Mengran looked as though she had heard a joke. "You knew how I felt, yet you still gave all the things I liked to Ji Nuan! How could you be so biased?"

Ji Hongwen's expression instantly revealed his thunderous rage. "Since you were young, no matter if it's the things you like or the things Ji Nuan likes, the moment you open your mouth, she would unconditionally give them all to you! Both of you have been spoiled by me. When she's outside, she's often criticized for being arrogant and proud, but she has always been especially indulgent toward you alone! She gave you everything that you wanted! What more do you want? Have you become used to snatching things from Ji Nuan's hands? Now that she refuses to hand you her legal husband, are you going to go against her?!"

As he spoke, Ji Hongwen angrily pointed at Ji Mengran who had turned pale. "You still have the nerve to stand here and argue with me about this! You unfilial daughter, kneel down!"

"Me? Kneel down?" Ji Mengran glared at him with red eyes.

"Kneel down!"

Ji Hongwen's expression revealed his unrelenting determination and rage. After seeing the nasty relationship between Ji Mengran and Ji Nuan today, even his heart was aching from the anger.

"Old Ji, cool down a little. Mengran is still a child. Why are you telling her this? Everyone has the right to like someone; she hasn't committed any outrageous acts. It's normal for a young girl to want to fight for the boy she likes. She hasn't even done much, has she?" Shen Heru saw that Ji Hongwen was truly angered and rushed to pat his chest comfortingly.

Ji Hongwen expression was ugly as he paid no mind to Shen Heru. He continued looking at Ji Mengran who was gritting her teeth and refusing to kneel. "I asked you to kneel! Are you deaf? Can't you hear me?"

"I won't kneel! Why should I kneel!" Ji Mengran yelled in anger, turning to run up the stairs.

Seeing that Ji Hongwen was about to haul the person back with an icy expression, Shen Heru rushed to tug him back. "Don't be so angry. Ji Nuan is still here. This house is usually so peaceful, but the moment she returns, there's so much trouble. Don't just blame Mengran alone..."

"Shut your mouth!" Ji Hongwen glared at her. "What were you saying earlier? Ji Nuan is my daughter, why can't she return to this home?"

Shen Heru was slightly upset with the way he took his anger out on her. Her hands instantly left his elbow as she said with a poor complexion, "I only spoke up for Mengran because my heart was aching from the way you keep criticizing her. But aside from Ji Nuan, this precious daughter of yours, no one else is allowed to speak, is it?"

Ji Hongwen's brows were cold. He clearly did not intend to soften his attitude toward her.

Shen Heru tolerated her anger and did not speak. She raised her eyes toward Ji Nuan and was further incensed by the way she was coldly watching the conflict play out.

This little wench. Previously, whenever she came home, she would at least restrain a little. But now, she has completely stopped holding back. The moment she is back, she starts a battle. No festivities are going on right now, but she suddenly came back home just to start a conflict. What on earth are her intentions?

Stumbling noises came from upstairs. Ji Mengran rushed down the stairs with a suitcase in her hand.

Seeing this, Ji Nuan coldly raised her brows and did not speak.

Ji Hongwen coldly narrowed his eyes, angrily saying, "Are you leaving? Fine. If you take your luggage and step out of this home today, don't even think about coming back! Scram! Our Ji family doesn't have a daughter like you!"

Ji Mengran's footsteps abruptly froze, but she concealed it as she quickly brought her luggage down the stairs. She glared at Ji Nuan, opened the doors, and walked out.

"Aiya, this child. Why is she leaving." Shen Heru nagged. She then turned to Ji Nuan and whispered in reproach, "How can there be such a sister? Even if Mengran is wrong in some ways, she hasn't done anything to harm anyone. She's so unforgiving to her own sister. Must she force her to leave before she lets it go? Can you not be satisfied until you see Mengran break off all ties with us? Will you only be happy when this family is bankrupt and the people are dead?"

"Will you die if you say less?" Ji Hongwen turned to look at her in anger.

Shen Heru was just about to reply when she heard Ji Nuan speak up indifferently, "How can this family go bankrupt and its people die with my return? On the contrary... Auntie Shen, if you continue staying in the Ji family, I can't say for sure how things will end up."

Shen Heru knitted her brows as she turned harshly toward Ji Nuan. "Nuan Nuan, what do you mean by that?"

Ji Nuan revealed an extremely mild smile. Hearing a car pass by outside, she turned to head out and did not offer her any explanations.

Ji Mengran went into the Ji family's garage and got into one of their cars. However, the moment she drove out, she saw Ji Nuan standing by the front yard. If her father was not around, Ji Mengran really wished she could step on the gas and kill her.

No! She had to tolerate it! The things she wanted would never easily bow down and surrender to her, but she could not let Ji Nuan lead her around by the nose!

There had to be a way to restrain her!

Ji Mengran pressed on the car horns with force, rolling down the windows to shout, "If you don't want to die, scram!"

Ji Nuan appeared to be able to read her mind. She stood unmoving in her position, watching her coldly and indifferently.

Ji Mengran got off the car in a fit of anger. She slammed the car door and charged toward her. "Do you really think that with Dad supporting you, you can be as arrogant as you wish? Ji Nuan, let me tell you..."

"Where are you going?" Ji Nuan appeared not to have heard her. She only smiled imperceptibly, watching Ji Mengran's expression of rage.

Ji Nuan's attitude appeared to drive Ji Mengran even crazier. She gritted her teeth to glare at her. "The Ji family doesn't have space for me, but there are other places that do!"

Ji Nuan smiled. She has always been taller than Ji Mengran. She leaned her body down slightly, and Ji Mengran, who instantly felt a wave of threat, quickly took a step back.

Ji Nuan leaned by her ear, quietly and unhurriedly whispering, "Are you going to Hai City's An Hei Bar to look for that bunch of loser friends of yours? Are you going to ask them to find ways to bring me into that place, for them to get me drunk and have me take drugs, for them to help you ruin me, en?"
