?Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The Good Father’s Filter Shatters Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The Good Father’s Filter Shatters Shi Youjin frowned, “Can’t you speak without being so unpleasant? When have I ever tricked her? I’ve always been good to her; it’s you who’s been too extreme, nearly killing her several times!”

“She deserved to die! Keeping her alive is a huge risk. Now I have to guard against her meeting with Lady Wen every day like I’m watching for thieves!”

“How many times have I told you, if you beat someone to death, the police will investigate, and then we won’t be able to hide the fact that she isn’t our biological daughter!”

“So that’s why I haven’t beaten her to death, haven’t I? I did listen to your words.”

When Shi Youjin heard her tone soften, he took out the money wrapped in a plastic bag, “This is for Youyou. It’s not much, but it’s a little something from me as her father. She was blackmailed out of five million all at once, she must be tight on money.”

Lin Yueqin took the money and counted it, close to fifteen thousand.

She looked at him with surprise, “Aren’t you just out of prison? Where did all this money come from?”

“Xiaoyi gave me five thousand, and she also bought me new clothes, which I sold for money.”

Lin Yueqin became instantly angry and jealous, “What?! That little beast actually gave you so much money? She hasn’t given me a penny! Not a single piece of clothing! Why? Just because I can’t pretend the way you can?”

Shi Youjin, however, ignored her anger and squinted his eyes, “It didn’t seem to me that she was giving me money because she was heartbroken. She probably has quite a bit more. I asked her what job she does, and she wouldn’t tell me. Do you know what she does for a living?”

“Hmph, what could she possibly do? With her face like a seductress, she’s a mistress to men, supported by two rich men at the same time!”

“I see, that explains it.”

“Shi Youjin, since you can squeeze some benefits from her hands, then you should squeeze more. Youyou has major expenses, both starting a company and preparing for a wedding, plus she’s been blackmailed out of five million. She urgently needs money, you get it?”

“I know, you don’t need to tell me. If there’s anything Youyou needs my help with, just let me know. These years in prison, I’ve learned a thing or two.”

“Actually, there is something you might be able to help with.”

“What is it?”

“Youyou needs some invitation cards, that little beast has them. I just snatched three from her the other day, but it’s still not enough. You can look through her bag later and see if you can get some more for Youyou.”

“Invitation cards? What do they look like?”

Lin Yueqin roughly described the invitation cards, “Gold-embossed solid color, the patterns are all very three-dimensional, I don’t even know what material they’re made of, they can’t be folded, when I first saw them I thought they were made of pure gold, they’re so heavy to hold.”

“Okay, got it.”

“If you can’t get them from that little beast, then you make a request to her, go work as a security guard for the company of the man who’s keeping her, called Jungle Pharmaceutical. Then you can steal a few invitation cards from inside the company for Youyou. Youyou said, those invitations are worth a lot; a single one can sell for more than two million online, and sometimes you can’t even buy them with money!”

Shi Youjin was so shocked, his cigarette dropped, “Those things are worth that much?”

“What did you think? Otherwise, with Youyou’s ability, would she not be able to get them? Those are rare items, a pass to high society!”

“Alright, no matter what, I need to get more!”

Noon.

Ye Chuyi received a call from Shi Youjin.

“Xiaoyi, how’s your hand? Feeling any better?”

“A bit better.”

“Come home for lunch, I’ve made a few dishes you love.”

If yesterday’s incident hadn’t happened, Ye Chuyi would have definitely gone home for lunch; after all, her father was finally out of jail, and she wanted to spend more time with him.

However, Shi Youjin’s unwarranted rebuke yesterday, wrongly accusing her of selling the family home, was hard for her to accept.

Add to that the burn on her hand, and her “good father” image started to crack.

She spoke in a somewhat indifferent tone, “I still have things to take care of, and it’s inconvenient to drive with my hand injured. I won’t come back for lunch, you eat by yourself.”
