Chapter 145: I Don’t Want to Lose to Chi Jiao
Under Chi Mingwei’s sharp gaze, Chi Yan had no place to hide.
She wanted to lie and say that she didn’t know, but she didn’t dare to.
She knew Chi Mingwei’s temper. He absolutely could not tolerate lies.
“What are you doing?” When Zhu Limin saw that Chi Yan was trembling with her head lowered, she pulled her daughter behind her, acting like a protective mother. “Chi Mingwei, isn’t Yanyan your daughter? What did you say back then? You said that after we married into your family, you would treat her as your own daughter.”
Chi Mingwei laughed mockingly. “All these years, haven’t I treated Yanyan as my biological daughter? Has her food, clothing, and expenses been bad in any way? If you think that I don’t treat Chi Yan as my biological daughter, then you can leave this place with her immediately.”
Zhu Limin was stunned. “What do you mean by that?”
“I’ll still say the same thing. If you guys can’t treat Jiaojiao well, then leave this house.” With that, Chi Mingwei took off his jacket and placed it on his arm, before walking towards his room.
He couldn’t win an argument against women.
He couldn’t be bothered to fight anymore.
Zhu Limin stared blankly at Chi Mingwei’s back view as he left. Chi Yan carefully tugged at her sleeve.
“Mom, what does Dad mean? Does he not want us anymore?” Chi Yan’s voice was tinged with tears.
She had been the eldest daughter of the Chi family for so long that she was already used to her current luxurious life. She couldn’t lose this identity.
“Don’t be afraid.” Zhu Limin took a deep breath. “With Little Ze around, your father won’t abandon us.”
Chi Yan thought of Chi Ze.
Chi Ze was the son of Chi Mingwei and her mother, and he was an unbreakable bond between them.
Moreover, Chi Ze was a boy who could officially inherit the family business in the future.
What did Chi Jiao have to compete with him?
She didn’t believe that her father would regard Chi Jiao more highly than Chi Ze!
When she thought about this, Chi Yan’s heart felt a lot better.
“Mom, where’s Little Ze?” Chi Yan asked.
“His art exhibition will be held this weekend.” Zhu Limin finally smiled at the mention of Chi Ze. “He’s still in the art studio now. Don’t disturb him.”
Chi Yan nodded.
“I have something on, so I need to head out for a while. Be good at home and don’t make your father angry,” Zhu Limin said again.
Chi Yan nodded again.
After Zhu Limin left, Chi Yan went to the kitchen and took out an icy bottle of mineral water from the fridge. She unscrewed the cap and took a big sip.
“Do you know what you look like now?”
A mocking female voice was suddenly heard in the quiet kitchen.
This voice came from Chi Yan’s body.
Chi Yan’s face turned pale instantly, and the hand holding the mineral water bottle trembled.
The bottle fell to the floor and splashed water all over, dampening her slippers.
“You, you’re awake…” Chi Yan looked as if she had seen a ghost.
“I was awoken by your stupidity.” The voice continued to ring out, echoing in the quiet kitchen like a ghost. “What you’ve been doing recently has really become more and more stupid. If you continue like this, you’ll soon be stepped on by Chi Jiao, and you’ll never be able to recover.”
“No!” Chi Yan shook her head crazily. “I don’t want to lose to Chi Jiao! I can’t lose to her!”
That country bumpkin from the mountains wanted to snatch away everything that belonged to her. She absolutely couldn’t lose to her. Otherwise, she might as well die.
“Since you don’t want to be stepped on by her, you’d better do as I say.”
Chi Yan nodded with a solemn expression.
