Shang Feng listened to the dial tone in the receiver, seething with frustration.

It had taken him the strength of nine bulls and two tigers just to get this call through. Without layer upon layer of approvals from above, how could the call possibly have been transferred to the front line?

With a slam, he pressed the receiver back onto the cradle.

She’s simply an ingrate.

Just like her mother, stubborn and unenlightened, she doesn’t understand the least bit of subtlety or social grace. Doesn’t she know how the world works?

If that’s the case, then let her suffer here. He had thought that by speaking up, Bai Xiao would surely be overwhelmed with gratitude towards her biological father. In her eyes, her father was naturally different. Whatever he would say must certainly be taken as gospel.

Yet this stubborn girl not only lacked any gratitude, but she also didn’t even want to acknowledge him.

Shang Feng felt it seemed she hadn’t suffered enough here; she needed to taste true hardship to realize how much her father had helped her when she was most in need.

Hmph, wretch.

Shang Feng stormed out of his office, infuriated. He was in a certain provincial military district where one of his old classmates held a leadership position, wielding significant influence. Without this connection, how could he have made a call to that ungrateful girl on a whim?

Li Heng watched Shang Feng storm out, tea cup in hand, and asked curiously.

“What’s gotten into you? Weren’t you supposed to call your daughter?”

He and Shang Feng had grown up together, and Li Heng knew about the affair between Shang Feng and Yu Shaoya. So when he heard Shang Feng had a daughter coming out of the woodwork, he thought he should lend a hand if possible. The worst that could happen would be transferring the girl to another place, which was within his power to do, and it certainly wouldn’t be seen as nepotism.

After all, it wasn’t bending any rules.

“Ah, that girl doesn’t recognize me. It’s true what they say; if you don’t raise them yourself, they don’t feel like your own.” Shang Feng clutched at his chest, pained.

Li Heng laughed and said, “What do you expect her to do? You suddenly call her out of the blue, claiming she’s your daughter? You haven’t fed her a single meal over the years, nor have you taken care of her in any way. How do you expect her to react to you? Put yourself in her shoes; if you were given away by your biological parents as a child, grew up in a tough rural environment, and one day your birth parents suddenly wanted to acknowledge you, would you accept them?”

“But I’m doing this for her own good, not to harm her. She denies knowing me, says I’m unrelated to her, can you believe that? With a daughter like that, I’d be certain to suffer endless headaches in the future,” Shang Feng said, pretending to be a loving father on the outside.

“You should be content. I’ve heard that your daughter hasn’t been raised wrongly. Since she’s been here, she’s been hardworking and not delicate at all. Moreover, she’s stayed calm and composed in such an environment. I’ve asked around; your daughter is quite the doctor. In the Health Team, she’s the famous Doctor Bai, whose acupuncture skills are nothing short of miraculous.

She can even replace anesthetics. With such a capable daughter, you should be quietly pleased. If I had the chance, I’d love to see for myself. You don’t know, but several hospital deans have already called me, indirectly inquiring about her, clearly interested in having her.”

Upon hearing this, Shang Feng’s smoldering irritation finally dissipated.

The girl was at least of some use.

“Whether she’s capable or not, I don’t care. As a father, all I want is for my child to do well.”
