Demon King – Chapter 635 – Dispute

Not all of them, but there are always some parents who really are that kind of… extremely contradictory existence.

Even though they do not understand or relate to their child’s interests, do not know their daily routine or habits… you would not say they know nothing about their own child. Yet when it comes to dealing with and controlling their child, they are incredibly skilled.

Just like Liu Wan right now. She casually threw out a line of “not only your dad’s friend, but also your Uncle Li’s friend”, successfully lowering Eiru’s opposition by quite a bit.

But this also exposed the tragedy of them as parents. Compared to them, their own daughter trusted an outsider more. As parents, was there anything more of a failure than that?

“Even if he’s Uncle Li’s friend, it’s still the same… I trust Uncle Li, but I don’t know his friend! No one can guarantee he won’t leak anything.”

Her tone had softened a lot, but honestly, getting Her Majesty the Demon Lord to obediently cooperate was still not going to be easy.

“But we’ve already discussed it… at least, come with us tomorrow to take a look? Let’s not worry about anything else for now. Just have your bones checked and treated. There shouldn’t be any big problems, right?”

“That’s right. If someone really has ill intentions toward you, your dad and mom would risk our lives to protect you… you’re our child, after all.”

Normally, when parents tried so hard to give their child a sense of security like this, the child would feel warm inside. But those words failed to stir even the slightest ripple in the little Demon Lord’s heart.

Worst case, I can just run away again. No one can catch me anyway… After thinking for a moment, and hearing that Officer Li would also be present, Eiru figured she still had to give some face to the person who doted on her. She reluctantly agreed to go see the doctor with them tomorrow.

After eating, Her Majesty the Demon Lord went back to her room. Naturally, the attention of that pair of trash parents shifted to Eiya, who was still sitting at the table.

“Little Ya, why didn’t you help Dad and Mom persuade your sister? And you already knew she became like this, so why didn’t you tell us?”

“Hm? But… didn’t you beat her into this state yourselves? What is there for me to say?”

With a cold smile, Eiya’s reaction was something the couple had seen before, just that back then it was only directed at Liu Wan.

Because of their busy work schedules, Eiya could not really be said to have been raised by Ei Yuan and Liu Wan. Compared to the time she spent with them, she actually had more contact with her biological older brother (older sister?).

Before elementary school, Eiru had been raised back in their hometown by her uncle, aunt, and grandparents. Eiya, who followed Ei Yuan and Liu Wan to Huanghai from a young age, could honestly be said to have been raised by Lin Miao, who was temporarily staying at their home for his studies at the time.

So compared to her own parents, Eiya was indeed closer to Eiru and Lin Miao, people of her own generation. Before Eiru was kicked out to live alone, Eiya was a very quiet, shy, obedient, and sensible child.

She especially liked her older sibling. As long as you told her it was for Eiru’s own good, it was very easy to persuade her. When Eiru was scolded and punished, she swallowed it. When Eiru was kicked out to live alone, it was the same. Even now, Ei Yuan and Liu Wan could still use the excuse of “for Eiru’s own good” to coax their younger daughter.

But someone like her had an absolute minefield in her heart. No matter the reason, no one was allowed to lay a hand on her older sibling. Whether it was in front of her or she found out afterward, it was the same. When it came to hitting Eiru, Eiya had zero tolerance.

Ei Yuan had never laid a hand on his children before this time, but Liu Wan was different. With her explosive temper toward her children, when facing young Eiru who often tried to attract her attention by getting into trouble, she never held back at all.

Whenever that happened, Eiya would stand firmly in front of Eiru, refusing to let Liu Wan hit her. So when it came to hitting Eiru, Liu Wan usually did it in secret, hiding it from Eiya.

But every time Eiya found out, the young her had no real way to oppose it. She could only express her protest by refusing to eat for the entire day. Liu Wan, who already doted on her younger daughter’s health, naturally did not dare to easily lay a hand on Eiru after that.

So this time, the two of them had stepped on Eiya’s minefield after a long time, and they stepped on it together. Now things were great. The problem with the eldest daughter was not solved yet, and they had also lost the younger one.

“She didn’t tell you, and didn’t let me or Brother Miao tell you either… because she was afraid that once you knew the situation, you wouldn’t want her. But now none of that matters anymore. You’ve completely offended her… now she doesn’t want you.”

Eiya was not very good at hiding her emotions, and her tone inevitably carried a bit of mockery. But the two people in front of her were not focused on that at all. All they heard was that Lin Miao had known about it.

“Brother Miao knew too?”

After their surprise, they recalled that family trip from before. Lin Miao’s subtle reaction back then could indeed be explained now.

Carelessly suggesting that the two “siblings” sleep in the same room, and resisting sleeping alone in the same room as Eiru… good grief. So everyone had already known, and the whole world knew except the two parents?

“T-Then… are there other people who know about your sister’s situation?”

“Yes. All of my sister’s friends know… only you two, who never cared about her, didn’t know. If you had paid even a little attention to her, there was no way she could have hidden it from you, okay?”

“You silly children, how could Dad and Mom possibly not want her? You’re both our flesh and blood! Even if your sister doesn’t understand us and doesn’t believe this, you shouldn’t not believe Dad and Mom either!”

After Eiya said all that, the two of them could no longer control their emotions, and even their voices rose quite a bit.

“But your behavior makes it really hard to believe… forget me, even Brother Miao doesn’t believe you. Think carefully yourselves. How did you treat her before?”

With no evidence at all, just because her grades dropped, they concluded Eiru had gone bad and kicked her out of the house. And they even dressed it up as remembering hardship and cherishing sweetness, as training the child.

They even used that reason to fool Eiya and pull her to their side, directly causing the estrangement between the two sisters. Honestly speaking, was this something parents could do?

“And who was it that beat her into that state? Who coldly threw out the words that they didn’t have such a child? Before you expect others to believe you, at least show some chips that make us able to believe you!”

Eiya slammed the table and stood up, loudly berating the two people in front of her. But Liu Wan was clearly unconvinced. She opened her mouth and retorted.

“Your dad and I thought she was doing something to you… you were asleep back then and didn’t know anything. We did it for you! How can you treat Dad and Mom like this now…”

“Did you give her a chance to explain? No, right? What kind of person my sister is, wouldn’t I know? You gave her no chance at all. The ones who don’t trust others are clearly you!”

“Since you don’t trust her, then what right does she have to trust you? Say it. You beat your own flesh and blood into that state. Does your heart really not hurt at all?”
