Reborn As Lucky Star

In the private room of the cafe, Yue Qingqing and Li Fuhong stared at each other.

The room was filled with an awkward silence.

By blood, they were father and daughter, but in reality, they were more like strangers.

Li Fuhong's eyebrows unconsciously knitted together, considering what the first words should be.

But Yue Qingqing broke the silence first.

"Did you want something from me?"

Li Fuhong's rhythm was disrupted, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

Even at the negotiating table, he had always been the type to like taking control.

The person in front of him, who was supposed to be his daughter, looked at him with such a gaze.

Under the influence of inexplicable anger, Li Fuhong's tone naturally was not gentle.

"Do you know how much my company has been affected by your performance on the talk show? It was Zhuang Rouhui who abandoned you, not me. Why should it fall on my head?"

Listening to the man's words and looking at the anger on his face.

Yue Qingqing inexplicably felt relieved.

It was indeed this kind of personality after all.

What she feared most was if the other party started playing the family card, with reddened eyes and a facade of a kindly father.

It was better than Li Fuhong being this shamelessly blunt.

"What does it have to do with me being affected? We've just been two unrelated people from childhood to adulthood. I've never eaten a grain of your family's rice, nor drunk a sip of water, and certainly never asked you for child support."

Yue Qingqing had an indifferent smile on her face.

"So why do you think you can just come to me with demands, and I would agree?"

Such a tone immediately made Li Fuhong furious, "Why? Because I'm your dad! Without me, you couldn't have been born."

Yue Qingqing rested her chin in her hand, "Dad? I used to always hear that there's no such thing as a wrong parent, as if just giving a child life excuses beating, scolding, or abuse with the light phrase 'I gave you life.' As if that's a tremendous favor."

Li Fuhong's face involuntarily darkened, but Yue Qingqing continued as if she didn't see it.

"Then why don't you put me back?"

Li Fuhong was dumbfounded, "What?"

"Is it possible?"

"Are you crazy? How could that be possible?"

"See, you can't put me back, and I couldn't decide whether to be born. So why do you think I owe you? You irresponsibly made a woman you didn't love pregnant, and then projected your disdain for marriage onto this child, silently endorsing Zhuang Rouhui abandoning me."

Li Fuhong wanted to argue, "Back then I didn't know..."

"Didn't know? You seemed to have some power back then, wasn't it easy to find a girl? Legally there's a crime of omission, standing by idly can sometimes also be a crime."

Li Fuhong was rendered speechless, "Even if I was wrong back then, so many years have passed..."

Yue Qingqing came to see this man just to see where the other half of her bloodline came from.

The result did not disappoint her.

From now on, she could finally discard this blood relation with ease.

"Mr. Li, I hope you don't appear in front of me in the future. I'm not actually that patient or tolerant. A lot has happened to Zhuang Rouhui that you're unaware of. If you're interested, you can ask her for advice. Continuing to entangle could have consequences beyond what you can bear."

Li Fuhong was furious, "What kind of crazy talk are you spouting? No wonder you're Rouhui's child, just as unreasonable as she is."

Jiao Lei had just walked in when she was startled by Li Fuhong's loud table slap.

She nearly dropped the tray.

But seeing the two of them at daggers drawn, she couldn't help but feel a dark pleasure in her heart.

Yue Qingqing, however, reacted indifferently to Li Fuhong's outburst, stood up, and prepared to leave.

She only said one puzzling sentence as she passed by Jiao Lei.

"Sometimes the gift of life is just a trap. You think you've gained something, but you lose more. Cherish life."

After saying that, she left the private room, leaving behind an enraged Li Fuhong and a bewildered Jiao Lei.

Jiao Lei didn't know that in Yue Qingqing's eyes, her aura was fragile, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
