After my dad woke up, he didn't blame me for lying to him.

　　First, he announced in the family group that he officially cut off ties with Chen Siyue, and that he had only me, Lin Chuyi, as his daughter.

　　Relatives from my grandmother's side sarcastically scolded, "Lin Huaisheng, what are you announcing? It was Siyue who said she wanted to sever ties.

　　She and her daughter have already gone abroad for a happy life.

　　What about you? You can only shout in the group chat!" "A useless man, can't keep his wife and children, serves him right!" In a fit of anger, my dad directly exited the group chat: "Eighth grade, dad is useless.

　　I can't help you recover from such great grievances." I said lightly, "Forget it, I didn't lose anything." "You're heartless! If it weren't for you being clever and applying for early admission, I wouldn't be able to rest even in death!" "This child has a wicked heart, beyond redemption, even tricking her own sister!" He was always indignant about being betrayed by his youngest daughter and ranted and cursed for dozens of minutes while holding onto me.

　　Seeing that I remained indifferent, he seemed to understand something and stopped talking: "Child, you—" I looked at him quietly, his lips trembling a few times, he sighed and turned back into the house.

　　I walked to the balcony and looked downstairs.

　　It was pitch black, unable to see anything.

　　I could feel my dad's recent attempts to make up for and feel guilty, but what good would it do? A fan in winter, a padded coat in summer.

　　Ultimately, it came at the wrong time and only made people tired.

　　Xiao Manqing once asked me privately why I wanted to match her mom and my dad: "Who wants an extra stepmother? I actually don't like having a stepdad either." I smiled and replied, "We're going to college far away, wouldn't it be good for our parents to take care of each other?" Her eyes shifted slightly, accepting this explanation.

　　Actually, I've always known that I am not Chen Siyue, and my father would not remain unmarried for my entire life.

　　Since that's the case, why not find a companion for him so that we can avoid future conflicts and maintain our dignity? Of course, there is another reason.

　　I want to cut off Chen Siyue's path.

　　In life, we can't always take advantage of others while longing for more.

　　The day we received the admission notice, we finally got news from the Chen family.
