"Elder Master!" The house Help knocked on Shui Koshing's door anxiously.
"What is it? I was just about to come down," said Shui Koshing in a gentle voice. He didn't seem like he was annoyed by the sudden knocking.
The house Help had tears in her eyes as she told him, "Elder Master, we have a guest and she is very rude. You better go down to check up on her."
Shui Koshing looked at the house Help who was in her late twenties and was trying to hold her tears back. He calmed her down saying, "Kid, calm down first. It's okay. I didn't think you'd end up crying so easily."
Then he went downstairs while the house help hid behind him as if he was gonna shield her from a monster. It was quite a scene to see her have such trust in her employer. But since Shui Koshing always treated every one of them like family, all of them really had faith in their employer.
As soon as Shui Koshing came down and looked at the 'guest' his steps paused.
The house help pointed at the girl from behind him, "Elder Master, it's her. She thinks she is the owner of this place and had been insulting us all."
Shui Koshing frowned when he heard that and said, "Kid, go to the kitchen. I'll take care of her."
The house help nodded her head and almost ran towards the kitchen.
He heard a snort and then heard the voice of the girl, "I see you're still treating them like family. When are you gonna learn a lesson? You got backstabbed by your servant and lost your wife and yet here you're treating them like family. I really have no words for you."
Shui Koshing closed his eyes to settle his emotions before saying, "What I do is my business. What are you doing here?"
Amiah narrowed her eyes at her father and scoffed, "I heard you're out of town and that's why I came to this house. But it seems I got the wrong information." She shook her head, "It's my bad luck to run into you. Whatever! You call my brother out. I have nothing to talk with you."
"Xian is not home," answered Shui Koshing without a single change in his expression. He looked way too indifferent towards his one and only daughter. To the point that it even made Amiah feel uncomfortable. She could hardly believe it was the same father who always pleaded with her to come back home and now didn't even want to spare a single look.
"Where is Ge?" she inquired.
"He is a busy person," said Shui Koshing. "Besides, he is old enough to make his own decisions. Why would I dictate where he can or can't go?"
She sneered when she heard that from her father, "Oh really? But don't you usually love to dictate other's lives?"
"Watch what you say," warned Shui Koshing.
"Why should I?" retorted Amiah in anger. "Isn't it true that you still love to dictate other's lives? You're the reason why Ge married that woman. If it wasn't for you, he'd have the right to choose his own life partner. But you couldn't even see that. You just never want to see your kids happy. That's why you used to tell us where we can go and who we can meet with. And if someone goes against your words, that person is unfilial. But guess what? I don't care whether I'm unfilial or not. I lost my mother because of you, it is a lot better to not have a father like you."
Shui Koshing stood there taking her criticism. He was done explaining himself. He was already old now. He had lost the wish to spend time with his daughter. He was tired of a daughter who questioned him at every single step. Who never believed in his good intentions.
His wife's death was his biggest regret in life and yet, his daughter loved to rub it on his face at every single chance she got. But now he was so tired that he didn't even want to reprimand her. Besides, she didn't take him as a father, what right did he have to rebuke her or discipline her?
"I don't think Bà is particularly interested in having a daughter like you as well."
Shui Koshing's eyes widened and he turned his head to look at Raelle who stood at the flight of stairs with her arms crossed against her chest. Her eyes were on Amiah Jade who was fuming but seeing Raelle, she ended up taking a step back. The fear from that car incident was deep-rooted in her heart and her body unconsciously stepped back because of Raelle.
But when she realized what she did, she took a step ahead and puffed out her chest proudly and confidently as she called out, "What the hell are you doing here?"
Raelle came down and Shui Koshing tried to say something, "Elle..."
He was worried about Raelle seeing another ugly side of his family. He loved his daughter but she repeatedly disappointed him. Now, he couldn't even tell the difference between his own daughter and the wolves back in his hometown. Everyone just wanted to pounce at him.
Raelle gave him a smile to reassure him, "Bà, go inside and wait for me. I'll join you at the dinner table in just a minute."
Shui Koshing thought about it before nodding his head, "Alright. Come soon." He knew no one could win against Raelle. It was his own daughter's loss to come across someone like Raelle at this time. He couldn't even spare the energy to sympathize with Amiah right now.
Raelle gave him a nod and turned to Amiah who was glaring at her hatefully.
"I asked what the hell are you doing here?" roared Amiah once again since Raelle calm demeanor got on her nerves.
Raelle tucked her hair behind her ear as she answered, "This is my house. Where else I'd be? In fact, I should be asking you the same question. What are you doing here, stranger?"
