Ru couldn't possibly forget that every time her father punished her for the sake of Clan Rules, he also punished himself along with her. He was strict and there was no doubt about that. She used to think that he was overreacting always.
However, staying out all these years made her realize what she had really left behind. That father always portrayed himself as the bad guy just to help her stand up on her own feet. Just to teach her that she wasn't supposed to depend on others. She only needed herself to stand tall.
Most importantly, if it wasn't because of the willpower that his father instilled in her soul, she really would have lost her life back then.Β
"That's how fathers are. They hide their love behind their stern and strong demeanor. They want to be strong for their child. And that's why they never dare to show their weakness before their own kid." Ji Yifeng commented after he learned of why Ru called her father weak.
