My wife had something urgent to do, so she asked me to attend our daughter's parent-teacher meeting on her behalf.

When I arrived at the school, almost all the parents were there.

They were all wearing brand-name clothes from head to toe and only I looked out of place in my casual suit.

Seeing me in plain clothes, the teacher immediately showed a look of disdain on her face.

"I really don't understand. Lucy's mother is an intellectual after all, why did she find a loser like you."

I was about to step forward to refute, but was ridiculed by my daughter in public.

"I don't want you to hold a parent-teacher meeting for me, I want Uncle Morris!"

After a few seconds of being stunned, I sneered and called my wife.

"I heard from my daughter that you found her a stepfather, right?"

——

At this moment, all the parents looked at me.

The call was hung up several times before it was connected. Then Suzy's impatient voice came from the phone.

"Mario, what are you going crazy about again? I'm in a meeting. Can't you wait for meuntil we get home to talk about anything?"

I looked at my daughter who hated me so much and shook my head. "No!"

The next second, Suzy immediately cursed at me. Yes! I just fell in love with someone else. Are you satisfied?"

I took a deep breath and spoke slowly, “Give me a reason!"

I asked myself that I have never done anything to let them down since I got married.

But Suzy's words just now hurt me deeply. Faced with my doubts, she sneered and didn't care at all.

"Why do you still have the face? Is there anything wrong with what Lucy said? My daughter needs 30,000 dollars a year for tuition alone for school. Have you paid a penny? Mario, let me tell you clearly, if I hadn't worked hard outside, you wouldn't even have the qualifications to sit there."

At the end, even if I turned the volume down to the minimum, Suzy's voice still resounded throughout the classroom.

"Mario, with your current status, you are not qualified to be Lucy's father!"

The scene was suddenly silent.

My daughter also glared at me fiercely at this moment, her eyes were like an enemy.

I suppressed my anger and asked her patiently. "Lucy, can you tell Dad what happened?"

The next second, my daughter blurted out. "Mom said you are too poor and can't support both of us at all."

I admitted that I didn’t really care about money, but I could still afford the 30,000 dollars tuition.

The most important thing was, wasn’t it because of my phone call that a woman could go to school here? Did it mean that they could just pay money to the America Affiliated Primary School?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but question.

"Suzy, you heard what my daughter said, I need you to give me an explanation. Who gave the 30,000 dollars, why didn't you tell me?"

"Explanation? What do I need to explain to you?"

Suzy's tone was very contemptuous. "Is it useful for me to tell you? Can you come up with it or what? If it weren't for Mr. Morris's qualifications, your daughter wouldn't even have a school to go to!"

I frowned. "Who is Mr. Morris?"

Suzy paused after hearing what I said.

"You don't deserve to know his name. You only need to know one thing, it was Mr. Morris who paid for our daughter's qualifications."

I couldn't help but narrow my eyes and my fingers were creaking.

"Suzy, I warn you, I don't care where you found that Uncle Morris, just cut off contact with him."

"I will pay for my daughter's education myself and I don't need anyone's help!"

As soon as I finished speaking, my daughter next to me pushed me hard.

"No, I don't want you to control me, I only like Uncle Morris!"

Hearing my daughter's words, I widened my eyes and couldn't believe my ears.

Was this really what my biological daughter could say?

I wanted to teach my daughter a lesson and Suzy's voice came out again.

"Mario, did you hear that? Even your daughter doesn't want you anymore. What else do you have to say? If I were you, I would just stay there and avoid embarrassing myself."

After saying the last sentence, she hung up the phone.

The scene was suddenly silent. Seeing this situation, I instantly understood the real purpose of Suzy asking me to come. She wanted to sow discord between me and Lucy.

I looked at my daughter beside me with some heartache. "Lucy, tell me that you also think I embarrassed you, right?"

As soon as I said this, my daughter nodded quickly. "That's right, I'm studying in an aristocratic school and the tuition alone costs 30,000 dollars a year. Mom said that your salary can't even support yourself and I will only suffer if I follow you."

After hearing her words, I didn't get angry, but smiled slightly. "Then tell me, who is qualified to be your father?"

Although I knew that these words must had been taught by someone, I still felt a little dissatisfied when my own daughter despised me.

Lucy rolled her eyes a few times and then blurted out. "Uncle Morris, only Uncle Morris is qualified to be my father."

I asked her with a smile, "Then can you tell me who Uncle Morris is?"

However, this time, before my daughter could speak, the parents around me had already told me the answer.

"No way, this person doesn't even know Mr. Morris. Is he from our capital?"

"Mr. Morris's business is spread across various industries and even this school was built with the money of Mr. Morris."

"Boy, I advise you to ask less about the Morris Family, otherwise you will get into trouble!"

After listening to these people's words, I was shocked. Not to mention my status, they actually belittled a father in front of the child.

I couldn't help but feel a little scared about what valued ​​this school, which claimed to be a small Oxford University, was conveying.

No wonder the daughter of the director, who had always been well-behaved, could say such rebellious words.

I was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. I planned to take my daughter away first and slowly settled accounts with the principal later.

But before I could take a step, Lucy bit the back of my hand fiercely. I shook her hand away in pain and stared at her in surprise.

"Lucy! Why are you biting me? I am your father!"

Since my daughter was born, I have never been angry with her, but this time I really couldn't bear it. I could pretend that I didn't hear any insults from outsiders. Even if my wife scolded me on the phone, I would just think she was blind.

But facing the betrayal of my own daughter, I felt a chill.

Lucy made a face at me and then pouted her mouth, looking dissatisfied.

"I don't want to go back with you. I want to wait for Uncle Morris to pick me up."

Looking at the strange daughter in front of me, I couldn't help it anymore and my tone became a little louder.

"Lucy! I don't care who your Uncle Morris is. You have to go with me now! What your Uncle Morris can give you, I can also give you!"

Who would have thought that just this sentence would completely anger my daughter.

"Bullshit! Even my mother doesn't want you. How can you support me?"

I suppressed my anger and stared at her. "Who told you that I need to rely on my mother?"

As soon as the voice fell, several parents who had a good relationship with my wife stood up quickly.

"Hey, wait, who was talking here? It turned out to be a dog raised by Miss Harrington's family."

"That's right, if you don't know, you would think you are so great, but you are just a cuckold."

"If your wife knew what you said, I'm afraid you will have to kneel on the washboard all night when you go back."

They mocked and applauded at the same time, looking very excited.

I glanced at them and memorized their appearance.

"If I'm not mistaken, you guys should be in the same group with my wife, right?"

From the beginning when I entered the school, these people kept instigating my daughter and me to be in opposition.

I thought Suzy deliberately arranged it. But I wondered, she didn't think that these few people could make me bow my head?

If it weren't for the fact that the principal of this school had a good relationship with me, I would have demolished the school.

"Little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about? We have nothing to do with Miss Harrington."

"We just can't stand people like you who delay the future of children."

"How dare you, a waste who can't even pay the tuition, question us?"

I suppressed my anger and looked at them meaningfully.

"I don't care whether you know my wife or not. I just want to tell you one thing now. If anyone dares to sow discord between me and my daughter, I don't mind having him carried out horizontally."

My sudden burst of momentum frightened these flatterers and they hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence.

In the whole scene, only my daughter was still pestering me.

"I don't allow you to say that about them. These people are Uncle Morris's good friends. Mom told me that if it weren't for Uncle Morris, I would have no chance to study here. If you dare to pester me again, believe it or not, I will call Uncle Morris and let him teach you a lesson!"

Hearing my daughter's words, my anger reached its peak.

In less than half an hour, she mentioned Uncle Morris no less than ten times, but she didn't even call me dad.

What kind of ecstasy did this man surnamed Morris give her?

"Lucy, I don't care how many good your Uncle Morris has done for you, I am the one who gave birth to you and raised you. How can you help outsiders to talk about your own father?"

I looked at her calmly, but I was very anxious in my heart.

After all, she was my own daughter. Even if she disliked me, I could bear to get angry with her. But I never expected that my blind tolerance would become the capital for my daughter to get worse.

"You will not be my father soon! Mom said that after the parent-teacher meeting today, she will divorce you. Uncle Morris will come to pick me up at that time!"

My eyes were full of bloodshot at this moment, but I was still trying my best to suppress my emotions.

"Lucy, did Mom tell you these words just now?"

My daughter nodded subconsciously, with a gleam in her eyes.
