There’s someone named Xin City asking to meet?

Ye Xingbei halted in his steps, looking at Gu Junzhu.

Must be a friend of Gu Junzhu, right?

She doesn’t know this man.

Gaining her gaze, Gu Junzhu explained: “He is Yi Xingling’s father.”

“Oh,” Ye Xingbei understood, “Yi Xingling takes her mother’s surname.”

“Let him in,” Gu Junzhu ordered the housekeeper, and then said to Ye Xingbei: “Xiao Chi did some checking last night. Xin City is a decent man, upright and honest. Otherwise, after the death of his wife, he wouldn’t have agreed to let his daughter take the surname of her maternal grandparents.”

“Ah,” Ye Xingbei nodded, shrugged: “But he failed to raise the girl properly.”

“He indeed bears some responsibility, after all, Yi Xingling is his daughter. But, his responsibility isn’t the main one. It mostly lies with the girl’s grandparents,” Gu Junzhu explained: “After her mother’s death, her grandparents took advantage of their son-in-law’s guilt and had Yi Xingling use the Yi surname with the future plan that when she grew up, she would draw in a son-in-law to carry on the Yi family name.

Busy with work, Xin City hadn’t much time to interact with Yi Xingling. The grandparents feared that the father-daughter bond might prompt her to change to her father’s surname, so they limited their contact.”

Ye Xingbei clucked his tongue: “What a peculiar pair! Relying on Yi Xingling to continue the Yi family’s lineage? It’s questionable whether the girl herself will even live to grow up!”

“Young Master, Young Madam, Officer Xin City has arrived,” the housekeeper announced as he led Xin City in.

Trailing behind Xin City was Yi Xingling.

In contrast to her arrogant and domineering demeanor of yesterday, today’s Yi Xingling hid behind Xin City, limping and trembling like a quail.

Senior Master Yi, in his anger, had actually knocked her unconscious yesterday.

She was afraid.

Truly afraid.

After all, she was just an eleven-year-old girl. Despite her spoiled upbringing, she was not fundamentally evil.

She would use her fists to subdue children weaker than her.

Similarly, she would also submit to a much stronger fist.

After she had woken from her unconscious state, her father was there, silent and sitting by her bed.

His icy gaze sent chills down her spine, and she trembled incessantly.

Her father and grandparents had a fierce quarrel.

After the argument, the decision was made that she would move out of her grandparents’ house and live with her father, and until he saw improvement in her behavior, her grandparents were not to see her.

Her grandparents were furious while her grandmother cried her eyes out.

But ultimately, they couldn’t manage to keep her there.

She was brought home by her father.

Her grandparents lived in a lavish villa, while her father lived in a three-bedroom apartment.

Her grandparents’ home had maids and bodyguards, while her father’s home had none.

From now on, her father would cook and she had to do laundry.

And also do everything else that she could handle, all on her own.

In just one night, she knew what it felt like to fall from heaven to hell.

Her current life compared to before, she had gone from being a rich young lady to a maid.

At her grandparents’ house, breakfast was prepared by a chef, offering diverse dishes of Chinese and Western cuisine.

However, at her father’s, it was porridge, small dishes, and boiled eggs.

When she couldn’t eat, her father would take everything away and make her wash the pots and dishes in the kitchen..
