Chapter 1669: Chapter 1670: Infuriated
As soon as she walked out of the small garden, her pace quickened. She didn’t even respond when the butler asked if she would stay for dinner, and she briskly left Chu Garden.
The Maserati was parked outside waiting for her to come out.
As soon as she got in the car and closed the door, her radiant face immediately darkened with a stormy expression.
“Bang!” Chu Xi punched the steering wheel, a flame of hatred brewing in her charming peach blossom eyes.
At that moment, her phone rang.
Suppressing her anger, she picked up the phone thrown to the side and glanced at the caller ID. Her expression slightly stiffened. Her finger had already touched the end call button, but for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind, activated the speakerphone, connected the phone to the car’s Bluetooth system, and answered the call.
Simultaneously, she stepped on the accelerator, and the Maserati sped away.
“Miss Chu.” The Bluetooth-connected phone emitted a sinister voice, with the man’s accent mixed with a foreign harsh tone, sounding particularly uncomfortable.
Chu Xi, expressionless, stared straight ahead while driving. “Why are you calling me!”
The other end let out a light chuckle, which sounded even more unpleasant.
“Can’t I call a big star for nothing?”
Chu Xi’s face darkened as she squinted at the phone on the holder, “If you don’t speak up, I’m hanging up.”
“Hehe. Since you answered, you won’t hang up so easily.” Saying that, the other party didn’t go too far and immediately said, “Have you thought it over? Cooperate with us.”
Chu Xi pressed her lips tightly and gripped the steering wheel, accelerating past the car in front, and arrogantly replied, “Why should I cooperate with you? I am now the eldest daughter of the Chu family. My parents only have me as their daughter; everything in the Chu family will be mine in the future. Why would I have any reason to sell out the Chu family to help you steal Chu family information?”
“Tsk, you’re still acting tough.”
The person on the other end leisurely dismantled her lies, tearing away her cover. “Dear, you’re just an impostor. No one in the Chu family will recognize you as an impostor, not even your daddy and mommy. Even if you force your way in, you still won’t get anything. Without you, there’s still Qin Jun, your brother. He’s much more outstanding than you. Besides acting, what else do you know? Do you really think you can manage the entire Chu family with your Oscar-winning skills? What a naive little baby, you’re oversimplifying things.”
Chu Xi gripped the steering wheel tightly, her face clouded without being swayed by his few words. “Even so, I have no reason to help you. What do I get by helping you? I gain nothing, and if caught, I’ll be seen as a traitor. We all know how the Chu family deals with traitors, so why would I stupidly risk myself for you?”
“Because you’re jealous.”
“Ha, I’m jealous?”
“Baby, you’re jealous of that child, Rong Yan.” The other side spoke in a calm tone, with a hint of mockery in the statement.
“Jiang Chenyue seems to like her a lot. Compared to you, she is more like the eldest daughter of the Chu family. She obviously stole your fiancé, yet you seem unable to do anything about it. You claim to be the eldest daughter of the Chu family, moved into Chu Garden, and were then kicked out to live in a small apartment. Not a single person from the Chu family attended your birthday party. Even to the servants in Chu Garden, Jiang Chenyue just said you were her foster daughter. Tsk, dear, you’re not holding your status as the eldest daughter of the Chu family as confidently as you claim.”
