The Real Daughter Was Cheated by General Lu

My cuties do comment and let me know your thoughts about the story! (I wouldn't mind if you bash some characters :)

Bai Wanjun, standing nearby, felt that she and her husband had done everything they could for Shi Han. She grumbled discontentedly, "We've put in so much effort for you, so you should stay at home and not cause trouble or make the family worry about you."

Shi Han's forehead creased with a black line. When did she ever ask the family to help her find a university?

She frowned but didn't bother explaining much. Instead, she went straight to Shi Zheng and asked, "Can I borrow the household registration book for a few days?"

"What are you planning to do now?"

"I want to change my registered residence."

"..."

Bai Wanjun was taken aback, and she laughed disbelievingly, "You must be out of your mind to change your registered residence. Are you trying to sever all ties with the family?"

Shi Han remained silent, her almond eyes fixed on Bai Wanjun.

Bai Wanjun, feeling a sense of guilt, continued, "To have a separate account, you need a real estate certificate. Are you still expecting us to buy a house for you?"

"Just lend me your account book, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

In that moment, the father became furious.

Stirring up trouble for no reason. Did she think she could threaten him?

He slammed the table forcefully, "That's it! If you're against us, then don't consider yourself our daughter! Get out now and never come back!"

Shi Han's eyes turned completely cold.

The Shi family was pushing her to the edge!

The once noisy living room fell into silence, yet the tension in the air was palpable.

And then...

"Who says she can't come back?!"

The sound of scolding echoed outside the door, creating a tense atmosphere that seemed to suck the air out of the room. At the same time as the voice fell, a figure appeared at the door. He was leaning on crutches, and as soon as he came in, he half-closed his eyes and looked at the people in the living room.

As soon as Shi Zheng met the other's eyes, the attitude which he showed towards Shi Han disappeared in an instant, replaced by an involuntary neck shrinking. But Bai Wanjun and Shi Yin were even more wimpy than him as they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

At that time, the Shi Zheng bent over, "Dad, Dad..."

"You just told someone not to come back."

"No, no..."

The old man, dressed in a dignified black Tai Chi suit, walked gracefully, emanating an aura of calm authority that commanded respect from everyone present.

His gaze swept across the occupants of the living room, his disdain evident in his eyes. However, when his gaze landed on Shi Han, his stern expression softened, and a smile played on his lips. "Little girl, back from your time abroad, I hope you had a pleasant experience."

Except for Shi Han, the rest of the Shi family instantly felt their throats tighten.

Two years ago, when Shi Han suddenly disappeared, they couldn't find any trace of her. Afraid of facing the wrath of Old Master Shi, they hastily claimed that Shi Han had gone abroad without any authorization.

Bai Wanjun desperately tried to establish eye contact with Shi Han, but Shi Han's gaze was fixed suspiciously on the unfamiliar old man before her.

"What...?" Abroad?

Shi Han stared at the peculiar figure in front of her, piecing together the puzzle from her father's address. This man must be her grandfather, Shi Bei.

However...

She had no recollection of him whatsoever. In her memory, this was their first encounter.

Shi Bei observed his little granddaughter, who regarded him as a complete stranger. He let out a soft snort. "After staying abroad for two years my own granddaughter doesn't recognize me anymore. I must have aged quite a bit in these past two years."

The reproachful words carried no trace of anger, but instead, a touch of tenderness lingered in his voice.

As he spoke, he hesitantly traced the wrinkles on his face, as if searching for any visible signs of change.

Why did he feel that he hadn't aged a day in the past two years?

The old man cast a quick glance behind him.

Song Butler, who was of similar age, immediately stepped forward, and the two exchanged a whispered conversation. "Master, indeed, you do seem a bit older."

Shi Bei coughed twice, and as he lowered his gaze to alleviate his embarrassment, his eyes fell upon the suitcase beside Shi Han. Frowning, he remarked, "So Xiao Han has finally returned, yet I haven't even picked up her luggage."

Shi Han calmly glanced at Bai Wanjun.

"Not yet."

Bai Wanjun hurriedly stepped forward, beads of cold sweat forming on her forehead.

They all disliked Shi Han's difficult temperament, but her father-in-law was an exception. He simply adored Shi Han and even Shi Xuan, his own grandson, had to give way in his presence.

She couldn't help but think, if Old Master. Shi hadn't been unwell and confined to the hospital throughout the year, Shi Han would have long been spoiled by his doting ways.

Bai Wanjun approached Shi Han with a forced smile, gesturing for her to prepare the suitcase. Then, she extended her hand towards it and said, "You must be tired. Give the suitcase to Mom, and I'll have someone take it upstairs for you."
