Dr. Xi shuddered suddenly when he heard what Assistant Qian said, originally indifferent about his eldest daughter's wedding, realizing his relationship with her was practically nonexistent, and he had always neglected her. He imagined if his eldest daughter got married and the birth mother attended the handover ceremony, that was one thing; however, if the stepfather attended, Dr. Xi's face darkened, and his mood worsened even further.
Dr. Xi didn't care much for this daughter, even harboring some dislike for her; just seeing her reminded him of his ex-wife.
Dr. Xi's feelings for his ex-wife were quite complex: he had loved and hated her, and even detested how flirtatious she was.
Seeing his ex-wife doing better and better did not sit well with Dr. Xi; consequently, he took it out on Shanyue, the daughter born to his ex-wife.
