5 Unfilial Child.

"...I don't think you could have gotten married now either so how do you think I will transfer the papers to you without you performing your part of our agreement?" Meng Xinjiang enunciated harshly.

Meng Xi heard her father's voice ring in her head and it made her heart grow cold, she clenched her fist and a bitter sad smile curled up on her face.

Great, her own father was not even sparing her!

She inhaled sharply and looked at her father, "who said I am not married?" she uttered with a cold sneer.

"You—" Meng Xinjiang was startled, he pointed a finger at his daughter and his breathing raised heavily.

"Don't talk nonsense, sister" Meng Su voiced with a slight frown.

However, Meng Xi simply smirked and cocked a brow, "it is you who should stay out of my matter" she said pointedly.

"Xi—"

Bam!

Meng Su opened her mouth to speak again but she was interrupted by their father who suddenly stood up in a flare of anger and banged the table with his palms.

"You sure have guts now, lying blatantly to your Father! Who do you think I am that I will believe your messy lies? Even after five years of staying rebellious, you are still the same and you refuse to change! You think I will just accept it because you claim that you are married? Even if you present your marriage certificate to me, there is no way that I will believe you!" Meng Xinjiang angrily vocalized to his daughter.

Meng Xi was not moved by her father's words, she had long gotten used to his ways and her heart was numb, to him, she would always be a liar. Meng Xi had not even gotten a chance to speak when Meng Su also opened her mouth to speak.

"Sister, you don't need to be hard on yourself, Lingtian met with father today, I don't know if he told you about it, I know that you planned to register your marriage with him today however, he is willing to give you more time to grow and explore, Lingtian is a good man, he has a promising future, he told father that he did not want to tie you down by this marriage for now. We all care about you, Xi, we don't want you to be hard on yourself for nothing. You don't need to rush into marriage yet, you have to trust father.

This is for your own good, sister. Father agreed with Lingtian's decision. Although, he was displeased that you planned to register your marriage without telling the family about it in the first place. Father won't blame you, and you cannot blame him either. You should not be angry with Lingtian too, he is doing this because he cares so much about you" Meng Su concluded.

"Exactly, you see your sister, she speaks so well, unlike you. Huo Lingtian already informed me of your plans this morning before he left for City B to commence a business assessment check. I just forgot to tell you so there is no need to lie to me anymore. Go back now and don't disturb your sister and I" Meng Xinjiang uttered and flicked his wrist.

Meng Xi's brow rose, a self-mocking smirk reached her face and her lashes dropped. For a moment, her emotions were concealed before she raised her eyes again and looked at her father and sister.

She smiled and opened her mouth, "so, it is like this..." she mumbled.

"Who said that even if Huo Lingtian did not appear today, I cannot get another man to marry me?" She uttered and smirked. Her fingers curled up to form a fist in her pocket and her face became expressionless and cold.

She finally understood the reason why Huo Lingtian ditched her. Even after telling him so much, he still revealed so much to her father. She had no idea how much he must have said...

"What do you mean, unfilial child?!" Meng Xinjiang queried, his brows twitched into a knot but Meng Xi only smiled broadly and gave no explanation.

"You don't have to bother anymore, father... I will check back with you again on this matter. Good night to you too, sister" she said and without waiting for anyone to speak, she turned around and left the room.

"That child!" Meng Xinjiang was filled with annoyance after Meng Xi left. He clenched his fist and glared.

"Father, be calm..." Meng Su frowned and voiced gently.

Meng Xinjiang's chest heaved up and down for a while before he eventually calmed down. This time, it was obvious that Meng Xi had really angered him badly. He shifted his gaze to Meng Su who offered him a patient smile and his heart calmed again. Meng Su also found the chance to speak.

"Father, about that..." she started and paused. Meng Xinjiang immediately understood what she was insinuating and he pinched the space between his brows and shut his eyes.

"Meng Su, you do not have to worry about your sister, we will just go about the plans and you will eventually take over. Don't stress yourself, dear child" he said and Meng Su smiled.

"Yes, I will listen to you father" she answered and gave a humble nod.

While the father and daughter duo were being sweet in the study, Meng Xi left the room with a wave of immense anger in her heart. She knew she had not prepared well this time but, whichever way, she was determined to get back what belongs to her. Even if this fake marriage of hers did not work, she will do something better!

"Young Miss, you have returned, what about master and the second miss? Will they also join you for dinner?" Sis Wang questioned as soon as she saw Meng Xi approach the table.

However, Meng Xi waved her hand dismissively and shook her head, "don't bother about me, sis wang, I am leaving already"

"Eh, leaving...?" But, you have only just returned! The housekeeper was going to say this but, Meng Xi had already left the house before she got started.

The middle-aged woman rubbed her forehead and sighed before returning to her other business.
