Xu Weiping cared more about his pride than anything, especially in front of family. The last thing he wanted was to lose face. He'd initially regretted his impulsiveness and thought he shouldn't have hit her. It wasn't that he felt sorry for his daughter; he was mainly worried about the man she was with, who he'd heard came from a powerful background.
Upon hearing Xu Weiguo's words, he completely missed the provocation and instead grew resolute. He felt that, as a father, disciplining his daughter was perfectly natural and justified.
Xu Weiping slapped her hard. Xu Su's right cheek swelled up instantly, and for several seconds, she couldn't hear a thing. She blinked in a daze. When she came to her senses, she shakily pulled her phone from her pocket. Just as she found Zhou Mochen's number, Xu Weiping snatched the phone and smashed it hard onto the ground.
