Chapter 231: Can Dad Die?

Everyone meant well. In a normal, loving family, if a father saw that featuring his daughter wasn’t working, he’d simply take her off-camera and that would be that.

But this was Wang Henli’s home.

"How could I not be number one!"

No, he wasn’t just not number one. He wasn’t even number two.

’He’d actually been surpassed by two lowlifes.’

Wang Henli snatched up Wang Tuantuan, who was beside him. "Why are you so useless?"

"How much money did you even bring in?"

His voice boomed in Wang Tuantuan’s ears. All she could see was his monstrous face growing larger and larger as she struggled in mid-air, clutching the doll in her hands.

Just then, the woman rushed forward. "Wang Henli, what are you doing? Put Tuantuan down! She’s just a child, you—"

Wang Henli rarely hit Wang Tuantuan, as she had to appear on camera. This woman, however, was another story.

His boundless rage was already simmering with nowhere to go, and she had just thrown herself in his path. Wang Henli tossed Wang Tuantuan aside and slapped the woman as she lunged at him.

The sound of a SLAP echoed through the spacious home, followed only by the woman’s sobs. Reflected in Wang Tuantuan’s wide eyes was the image of Wang Henli straddling her mother—

Endless fear flooded her heart, but Tuantuan was still brave. She rushed forward, grabbed Wang Henli’s hand, and bit down hard.

"AARGH!"

A powerful force struck her before she could dodge, and her head hit the leg of the European-style sofa. She cried out. Wang Henli glanced over, strode toward her, and roughly held her head to inspect her temple.

"Dammit."

Now that the merchandise for display was flawed, Wang Henli finally lost the will to hit anyone. Just then, a call came in from Qian Song. He furrowed his brow, turned, and went to his room to take it.

Wang Tuantuan was still lying on the carpet, panting heavily.

Her mother came over and hugged her. "Tuantuan, are you okay?"

"..."

An endless silence.

The little girl once again asked the question she had asked so many times before. "Mommy, why did we have to come find Daddy?"

The woman was sobbing, the smile on her face a hideous sight. She still didn’t answer, only saying, "It’ll get better later on."

The small girl clutched the doll in her arms and remembered something she’d once heard.

’When someone dies, they can’t be brought back to life. They can never return.’

"Why doesn’t Daddy just die?"

Hearing this, her mother instinctively glanced at the man’s door, then quickly covered Tuantuan’s mouth, shaking her head in terror. "You can’t say things like that."

Inside the room, Wang Henli was also facing judgment.

His numbers for this competition were terrible. The year-over-year drop was staggering.

Qian Song was extremely dissatisfied with this.

"What is this garbage you’re putting out?"

"Look at all the resources I’ve poured into you over the years."

"If you keep this up," Qian Song said coldly, "I’ll make sure you learn that the pain of being at the bottom is as intense as the pleasure of being at the top."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Qian. I’ll work harder..."

"’Hard work’ gets you Star Coins? It gets you a better ranking?" The man on the other end sneered, his tone dripping with mockery. "Do you even believe that crap when you say it?"

Swallowing his anger at the man’s tone, Wang Henli forced an obsequious smile. "I’ll fight my way to the top in this competition."

"Fine. The company will continue to promote you."

A smile appeared on his face.

"But if you don’t get first place this year, you’re giving me your cookbook."

"But, Mr. Qian, those are my family’s heirloom recipes..."
