THE FAKE HEIRESS AND HER FIVE VILLAINOUS BROTHERS

Yuan Luoyi's heart leaped into her throat, and she almost immediately had tears welling up in her eyes.

She hadn't cried even when the bad guys were about to strangle her, but now the thought of another loved one leaving her made her tears uncontrollable.

Yuan's Father chuckled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm wearing a bulletproof vest."

Yuan Luoyi blinked her eyes. "Do you wear a bulletproof vest every day?"

Yuan's Father said, "I just happened to wear one today."

"Why did you wear it today?"

"Because this morning I knocked over your mother's makeup case, and the powder and eyeshadow all broke and mixed together. I pressed it all back in, but it doesn't look the same as before."

"The high-end customized full color set she got from Paris?"

"Yes."

Yuan Luoyi finally understood why her father, who disliked gatherings with friends, had gone out for an early meal with friends today—he was actually making an emergency escape.

After a moment of hesitation, Yuan's Father added solemnly, "She's still out there, and she doesn't know about this. Don't tell her."

Good news, Yuan Luoyi's tears didn't fall. Bad news, Yuan's Father might die at the hands of Yuan's Mother in the future.

That was a product Yuan's Mother had waited half a year to get, custom-made specifically for her skin. She treasured it dearly, and it was the only one in the world, as the company wouldn't be doing any more custom projects.

Hopefully, Yuan's Father's bulletproof vest was good enough quality to stop a second bullet.

After ensuring that his daughter's neck injury wasn't life-threatening, Yuan's Father's tense nerves relaxed a bit, and he said, "You finally called me Dad."

Yuan Luoyi was a little surprised.

So he had known, and had been paying attention to this all along.

After seeing her 18-year-old self's fate, Yuan Luoyi still had some resentment towards this father who had driven her out, so every time they met, Yuan Luoyi deliberately didn't call him Dad.

He had driven her out, so he probably didn't want her as a daughter either. Why should she call him Dad then?

She wasn't his biological child, nor was she as outstanding as her brothers. To Yuan's Father, she was nothing but trouble.

But today, after seeing Yuan's Father's past, Yuan Luoyi also understood that at the time, he had only wanted to save her.

After dropping out of school, she had become a recluse at home for two years, locking herself in her room and not coming out no matter how they called her. Yuan's Father had used this method to force her to change environments, thinking it would help her illness.

Although this idea was wrong, if she hadn't left home back then, Yuan Luoyi might have died on the same day as Yuan's Mother, and she wouldn't have received her big brother Yuan Ao's call in prison.

Yuan's Father said, "I thought you disliked me, after all, you've always stuck to your mother since you were little and never spent much time with me."

Yuan Luoyi said, "No, I'll stick with you from now on too."

Yuan's Father let out a long sigh of relief. "That's good then."

His gaze shifted to his son Yuan Fa, who was wearing a blue and white striped pajamas. Yuan's Father's brows immediately furrowed, forming deep creases like the Great Rift Valley of East Africa.
