He looked at Li Na: "Leave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Li Na was taken aback, but after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Okay."
Shen Yan simply threw the document in front of Li Wei and said calmly, "Cry all you want, make a scene as much as you want, but if you can make a big scene, I'll admit defeat."
"And you came to see Li Na this time because you are seriously ill and want to spend the last stage of your life with Li Na, right?"
"But your methods are not clever. You still want to stand on the moral high ground to restrain Li Na."
“I’ll give you three choices. First, I’ll find someone to treat your illness. I won’t say you’ll be cured, but I can at least extend your life by a dozen years. I’ll also give you some money. You can go wherever you want. But you have to sever your father-daughter relationship with Li Na legally. What she does after that is none of your business.”
"The second option is to fight the case to the end. You say that Li Na did not support you, but have you fulfilled your responsibilities over the years? We can find out. You may not be satisfied with the final result."
"As for the third option..."
Shen Yan then looked at Li Na and said, "It's up to you."
163. The falling out, Li Na's choice.
Li Na hadn't expected Shen Yan to give her the third option.
But she soon understood what Shen Yan meant.
Upon hearing these words, Li Wei froze on the spot, trembling all over. He looked at Shen Yan in horror, never expecting that this young man was so capable and had found his personal information so quickly.
Li Na, quick-witted and agile, was the first to pick up and look at the documents Shen Yan had placed on the table.
After she finished reading it, she finally understood why her father had suddenly become so clingy to her.
Feelings are...
They were diagnosed with an illness and knew they wouldn't live much longer, so they came to me seeking comfort.
That's right, in Li Na's opinion, they only contact her when they need something.
In an instant, her gaze towards Li Wei was filled with disgust. She picked up the examination documents and looked at the person opposite her: "Father, are these examination reports real?"
When she asked him, Li Wei was taken aback, especially after noticing the way Li Na looked at him. His heart clenched, but he still nodded in response.
"Yes, Lina, Dad, I am indeed sick."
"The doctor said there is almost no cure, and even if treatment is needed, it will require high medical expenses every year."
"I don't want to cause you any trouble, so I just want to make up for all the years I've wronged you in the last moments of my life."
"What support, what '06' suing you, all I want is for you to keep me company."
Li Wei's words were sincere and heartfelt, but to Li Na, they were extremely grating.
What is incurable?
What is the purpose of making amends in the final moments of one's life?
fake!
It's all deceptive!
If you really want to make amends, there are countless ways, not this one: sending yourself a lawyer's letter and defining the timeline as a formal case.
If you truly want to make amends, you shouldn't use your moral high ground to blackmail yourself into taking care of him in his old age.
To be frank, even if I take care of him myself, wouldn't I have to pay for his treatment if I see him get sick?
Can't I be distracted and take care of myself?
Is this what they call making amends?
You got sick, and I spent both time and money on you. Is this what you call making amends?
This is just playing the victim!
This is using kinship and blood ties to make oneself take full responsibility for him!
Li Na is a clear-headed person. It's not that she's maliciously speculating about her father, but rather that, based on his personality, it's highly likely that he thinks that way.
Thinking that he was about to die, he felt responsible for him and would take care of his affairs even if he unfortunately passed away in the end.
Ridiculous, infuriating...
A flood of emotions overwhelmed Li Na in an instant; she felt she had never felt so stifled before.
It was clearly his own father who made the mistake.
He's the one who's clearly irresponsible.
But in the end, I still have to fulfill my obligations.
"Shut up! Stop looking at me like that, you devil, you disgusting clown!"
Finally, Li Na couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up and looked at Li Wei with displeasure: "If you are sick and don't have money for treatment, you can name a price. I, Li Na, will borrow it and sell all my possessions from the past years to make up for it."
"Really?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wei's lips involuntarily curled up, his joy evident.
But the next second, Li Na's words plunged him into despair: "I can agree to all of these, but I want to sever my father-daughter relationship with you!"
"I don't care what you think, I, Li Na, owe you nothing and will not take responsibility for you to the end. Giving you money for treatment and letting you live out your old age is already more than enough of my kindness."
“Take this money, and our legal relationship will be severed. You go your way, and I'll go mine.”
"You are you, and I am me!"
Cut!
This was Li Na's decision.
It's not fair to call her heartless; after all, she planned to give all the money she had earned over the years, including the money she had saved to buy a house, to her father for medical treatment, which amounted to at least several million.
Judging from the situations of Li Wei and Li Na, she has already done more than enough.
But she was tired, and she didn't want to maintain this father-daughter relationship anymore.
Perhaps Li Wei genuinely wanted to change and was also sincerely repentant.
But past scars and past hurts cannot be filled with an apology or a word of remedy.
Her words surprised Shen Yan, who then began to appreciate them.
Li Na's mentality... has matured.
Shen Yan sighed.
He remembered that in the drama, after Li Na learned about Li Wei's situation, she somehow reconciled with her father and even had to fulfill her filial duties.
To be honest, Shen Yan found it very unreasonable when he read it.
It seems like it was forced to achieve perfection for the sake of perfection.
But in reality, many daughters wouldn't even care about someone like Li Na, at most they would fulfill some of their obligations within the bounds of familial affection.
“…”
Upon hearing Li Na's cutting words, the smile on Li Wei's face froze instantly, and a ruthless, cold glint flashed in his pitiful eyes.
He stood up angrily and slammed his fist on the table.
"boom!"
"Lina, let me tell you, I am your father. You have to do whatever I tell you to do!"
"Because I gave birth to you!"
"You won't support me in my old age? Fine! Then I'll expose you, I'll report you on TV, and I'll sue you in court!"
"Anyway, I'm old now, so you have to take care of me. It's your duty! It's what you should do!"
"Even if this matter goes all the way to the Supreme Court, I will still be in the right!"
After saying these words, Li Wei still wanted to grab Li Na and cling to her.
Before his hand could touch Li Na, Zhang Long stopped him, gripping his wrist tightly, which startled Li Wei.
But he immediately shouted, "What are you doing? I'm looking for my own daughter, what right do you have to stop me?"
"Let go! Let go now!"
Seeing that Zhang Long remained unmoved, Li Wei glanced at the onlookers nearby and immediately came up with a plan. He shouted loudly, "Someone is hitting someone! Someone is bullying an old person!"
"Help! Help! Help!"
His actions made the onlookers, who were already disgusted, even more disgusted with him.
One by one, they retreated, and no one stepped forward to help.
Li Wei could even see many people pointing and whispering.
He was at a loss; why were the moves that used to be so effective no longer working?
Little did they know that this era is no longer one where being old justifies being right.
In addition, this is a coffee shop, and the people who come here are not very old, and they dislike people like Li Wei very much.
"Let me go, or I'll report you to the authorities and have you all arrested."
Seeing that shouting was ineffective, Li Wei had no choice but to resort to reporting to the authorities.
But Zhang Long still ignored him.
At this moment, Shen Yan saw him acting like a rogue and knew that there was no point in continuing the conversation, so she got up, pulled Li Na up, and left.
"Don't go!"
"Li Na, stop right there!"
"I am your father! You must stop right there!"
Hearing his furious outburst behind her, Li Na paused, but quickly regained her composure and pulled Shen Yan out of the coffee shop.
After the two got into the car, Li Na deflated like a punctured balloon, collapsing onto Shen Yan.
Tears streamed down her face involuntarily.
At that moment, Shen Yan could sense her sadness, but he didn't say much. He simply reached out and hugged her, offering a silent comfort.
But as Shen Yan held her, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
