Chapter 423
As Shi Anxin's words fell, Shi Chengyi's heart sank to the bottom.
A daughter can be lazy, ignorant of the five grains, untalented, spoiled and willful, and even a little vain. All these can be taught and corrected; but she cannot be bad, cannot regard human life as worthless, and cannot be without reverence for other people's lives.
Otherwise, what is the point of being a human being?
Shi Chengyi squeezed the armrests of the chair tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hands.
He felt Huang Haoqing's despair and loss of face just now.
Yu Sujun also looked defeated.
She didn't give birth to her daughter, but she raised her.
It was her dereliction of duty and failure to raise such a girl.
She didn't say anything, but her face burst into tears.
It is heartbreaking, but there is nothing we can do.
Yu Sujun originally begged Shi Chengyi to marry her, because otherwise, she would be married to an old man as a concubine by her mistress.
She was unwilling, but she didn't know more people. She met Shi Chengyi because of Tang Chujun when she was young.
But Tang Chujun has been married to Shi Chengxuan for several years, while Shi Chengyi is still single.
She went through all the trouble to find him and said, Brother Cheng Yi, help me! Please pretend to marry me, okay? I will take care of your home and be good to your daughter.
At that time, Shi Chengyi thought about it all night, and sent someone to tell her the next day, "Yes."
This is how Yu Sujun entered the Shi family.
She promised Shi Chengyi that she would treat his daughter well and teach her well.
But she didn't do it.
She had actually taught her daughter to be like this! This was more sad and embarrassing for her than teaching her own child badly.
She has no face to face the prince!
She stood up and knelt in front of Shi Chengyi, resting her head on the ground, sobbing in a mosquito-like voice, "My Lord, I am sorry for you. I... did not teach An Xin well. It is my responsibility that she has come to this point."
Shi Chengyi suppressed the anger in his chest, raised his hand and helped Yu Sujun up, tears in his eyes, "You have done very well. If there is anything wrong, it is because you are not her biological mother, you are reluctant to scold her, you are reluctant to hit her, you always go along with her, you coax her, you hope that she will have a happy youth and a smooth adulthood. But she... is not worth it!"
The words "not worth it" hit Shi Anxin's head like a bolt from the blue. She covered her mouth and looked at her father with wide eyes.
Her father actually said she was "not worth it"!
She is the flesh and blood that his late wife had given birth to at great pains!
Who can he be fair to by saying this?
Shi Chengyi looked at his daughter's shocked and aggrieved look, and said solemnly, "Are you trying to say that you are the flesh and blood of your biological mother who worked hard to give birth to her?"
He stared into his daughter's eyes and said, "Shi Anxin, I can tell you that if I could go back in time, I would rather not have a daughter like you than let your mother die."
Shi Anxin was so shocked by these words that he burst into tears.
Very sad! Very, very sad!
Then she heard her father, who specializes in poking tubes in people's lungs, say, "Do you still want to say that if your biological mother had not died, you wouldn't be like this?"
Shi Chengyi closed his eyes hard, and when he opened them again, his eyes were already cold, "The saddest thing about a person is that no matter what happens, he will never find the reason for himself. Look at you like this , that’s probably the case.”
