Jin Zhengxiong forcibly stabilized his mind and spoke in a steady voice, "How many years did your parents raise you for, and how many years have I raised you for? The resources I gave you are ones your parents could never provide in their lifetime. I made sure you were well-fed and properly clothed, gave you the best educational opportunities, and spent money to send you to study at a butler school in the Empire. Do you know how much I've invested in you over the years?"
"What's so good about being a lousy teacher? Do you know how much money you'll earn annually after you graduate from the butler school? It's money you wouldn't make even after ten years as a teacher. All these years I've been more than kind and righteous to you. Even if I wasn't your biological parent, I raised you. Moreover, I didn't even know they were your parents; ignorance is no crime."
