Let's Divorce As Agreed

940  Chapter 939 Are You His Father?

Shu Pan furrowed her brows as she listened to the gloating words, and she saw a familiar figure approaching from a distance.

As he drew closer, when she finally saw the face of the person, Shu Pan stiffened—it was the gentleman she had run into yesterday.

Today, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, contained and steady, walking over with sprightly steps.

"Xin Xin, what's all this about?" Lu Lei was instantly angered upon seeing the torn scraps of paper on the ground.

He really found his daughter troublesome. Since the divorce from her mother, he had taken on the roles of both father and mother. However, his daughter often misbehaved to draw his attention, and he had driven away many tutors in frustration.

He was truly at his wits' end now.

He was also busy and lacked the proper discipline for her.

The child was now practically lawless.

"Daddy, fire her—she scolded me," Xin Xin accused first, playing the victim.

"What's the matter?" Lu Lei also recognized Shu Pan. The HR department should have informed her to start work today, so why was she still here?

"Sir, are you her father? Your daughter's behavior is appalling." Shu Pan crouched down, picking up the pages Xin Xin had torn, a look of regret on her face, "You should teach her to cherish books properly. And her manners need much improvement too. She shouldn't speak such vulgar words like a wild child."

"Xin Xin, is this true?" Lu Lei spoke with an authoritative calm.

The little girl glared fiercely at Shu Pan, "Such a nosy woman."

Shu Pan guessed that the gentleman might be an executive at the company, so she felt her palms sweating as she spoke.

She could acutely feel his gaze appraising her.

The man's brows were tightly knit, his piercing gaze turning to his daughter, "Xin Xin, indeed, you must improve your manners. Clean up the scraps of paper right now, then I'll take you to kindergarten. If you cause any more trouble, I'll send you back to grandma's house."

Xin Xin averted her father's gaze guiltily, then pretended to cry out, "Daddy, don't believe her words."

"Sir, perhaps you should spend more time with her. The role modeling of parents is crucial for a child," Shu Pan said, recalling the educational principles advocated by the kindergarten and objectively giving her advice.

"Don't meddle," Xin Xin said in a panic. She loved her father but also feared him, unsure of how to interact with him.

"Xin Xin, don't be impolite," Lu Lei said blandly, now finally aware of how dreadful his daughter's manners were.

He had indeed neglected in disciplining her.

He turned to look at Shu Pan, and for some reason, he felt a certain degree of fondness for her. He had found her pleasing to the eye yesterday, and now, a feeling of joy welled up inside him.

"Alright, sir, I'm going to be late, so I must go," Shu Pan said and then turned to leave.

Lu Lei wanted to say thank you, but as he watched her graceful departure, he was rendered speechless.

She was an employee; there would always be another opportunity.

"Daddy... let's go," Xin Xin tugged at her father's hand.

"Pick up the scraps first," said Lu Lei, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xin Xin had no choice but to obediently gather the scraps and throw them into the trash can.

She despised Shu Pan even more now; it was because of her that her father was treating her this way, detestable.
