Chi Zhengzheng looked confused. "I didn't lie!"
Ding Yijun let go of her hand and complained. "Zhengzheng, even if you're lying, say something reasonable. Do you think we don't know about your relationship with Wen Sisi? You two are enemies. At least find a solid reason instead of making up a lie?"
Chi Zhengzheng: "…"
She thought about all the trouble she had to go through to prove that she stayed with Wen Sisi last night.
In the morning, Wen Sisi had transferred money to her for tearing her clothes.
The hotel surveillance could also prove that she had gone in with Wen Sisi last night and come out with Wen Sisi.
"… If you guys still don't believe me, go to the hotel and check the surveillance cameras. If that doesn't work, call both Wen Sisi and Wen Yiran, they both know too."
Chi Zhengzheng sighed weakly and continued: "I know you dislike Wen Yu, but he is not that kind of person, and… and Wen Yu is not as worthless as you think. If you don't like him, isn't it better to not bother him or not provoke him?"
A year later, our Chi family would be miserable. If you guys provoke him a little too much, you might be even more tragic than the Wen family…
That would be so disheartening!
Chi Zhengzheng was sincere in her advice, but Chi Yan Ding Yijun misunderstood.
Ding Yijun suddenly said, "Zhengzheng, tell me, you don't have a crush on Wen Yu, do you?"
She looked serious, and her brows were furrowed together.
Chi Zhengzheng: "??? What?"
Without waiting for her to say anything, Chi Yan frowned and said in a cold voice –
"Forget it. If you like him, you're now engaged with marriage in mind. You should get along. Even though Wen Yu has no future, it's good that the two families will unite by marriage. Later on, your brother could help him out. "
His words were full of disapproval towards Wen Yu.
But when he thought of him not being with Chi Zhengzheng last night, Chi Yan wasn't as angry.
– They couldn't accept him except for his questionable character, but the rest was much better.
After a pause, Chi Yan added: "If you can, get Wen Yiran back again, he's the best person for you. But if Wen Yiran doesn't like you, you should stop bugging him and creating rumors about him; even if you don't get married, you shouldn't make enemies."
How crazy this daughter of his used to be about Wen Yiran? All of them saw it with their eyes.
After the car accident, she said she didn't like him anymore, and they actually didn't believe it.
Compared to believing that Chi Zhengzheng didn't like Wen Yiran, they thought it was because she was angry and had a temper tantrum and said those things out of anger.
Chi Zhengzheng: "…" She opened her mouth. She really didn't know what to say.
Knowing everything, she always had a chicken-and-egg feeling of powerlessness when talking to the Chi family.
In the eyes of the Chi family, Wen Yu was just a worthless Wen, a loser with nothing to offer.
They would prefer her to marry Wen Yiran than An Qinru, but if Wen Yiran didn't like her, they hoped she wouldn't bug him as she did before to avoid quarrels. If she couldn't be with Wen Yiran, the next best thing to do was get married to Wen Yu.
– This was the attitude of the Chi family.
But in Chi Zhengzheng's opinion, it was better for the Chi family to be less involved with the Wen family. To avoid jumping in front of Wen Yu, who actually hated the Wen family the most, so that in a year, the Chi family might still be able to survive the crisis.
When she thought about the fact that Chi Yan and Ding Yijun were the parents of this body, she thought about it. She spoke deliberately, "Is the Chi family working with the Wen family? Dad, I hope you'd better think about it…"
Chi Yan looked impatient, interrupting her: "The company's affairs are none of your business. You should stay home, think about what you've done, and not cause any more trouble."
After saying that, Chi Yan looked at the time, "I still have business matters to deal with. I'll go to the study first."
Chi Zhengzheng: "…" She was really filled with a sense of powerlessness.
The Chi family will be owned by Chi Zhouchen in the future. He was still young. Chi Yan was afraid that Chi Zhengzheng would be too big-hearted and cause problems in the future because of the family property. So they never let her touch business matters.
The cooperation between the two families had been prepared for a long time. It was cooperation in which the two families had devoted all their efforts. They had already invested a lot of capital into it. It was also not a good time to tell Chi Yan to pull out all their investment. Just by saying a sentence, all she got told was – It's none of your business.
Should she tell them that Wen Yu is the owner of Yu Ding?
Not to mention whether Chi Yan would believe her or not, if Chi Zhengzheng had said so, Wen Yu would have been the first to "click" her off.
The destruction of the Chi family and the Wen family was just the beginning of his road to dominance. If she revealed Wen Yu, he might not linger for them to be lifted high and plunged, but they would be stricken directly.
In that case, the result would be the same, and there was a buffer of less than a year…
Ah…
Knowing there was a cliff ahead but not being able to stop it was… helplessness.
And she didn't have much of a relationship with the Chi family yet. She also had no confidence.
Chi Yan left, and Chi Zhengzheng sat powerlessly on the sofa.
Next to her, Ding Yijun leaned close to her and lowered her voice, and said –
"Zhengzheng, you know Wen Yu's position in the Wen family. He won't get anything from the Wen family in the future, and he's incapable of doing anything by himself, so mum doesn't want you to jump into the fire. So you'd better stay away from Wen Yu and find a suitable opportunity to break off your engagement later."
In the end, she hoped that her daughter could marry someone suitable in the future, even if it was marriage, so that she could have a better life for the rest of her life.
"Oh." Chi Zhengzheng replied weakly.
Quite disinterested.
When Ding Yijun heard her answer, she was a little happier, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but add, "Zhengzheng, there's also the matter of your cousin…"
Hearing these words, Chi Zhengzheng lifted her eyelids to look at her.
"You've been at odds with Qinru since you were a child, and now that you've grown up, you can't be as unreasonable as you were when you were a child. First of all, regardless of when Qinru got together with Wen Yiran, Wen Yiran doesn't like you since he likes Qinru. In the future, if Qinru is to marry him, you and Qinru will be able to help each other if you have a good relationship."
Ding Yijun, with some sadness, sighed: "Wen Yiran has entered the company, the Wen family in the past two years has had momentum, your brother is still young, the Chi family may be left behind by the Wen family, this cooperation with the Wen family will be huge…"
"So what?" Chi Zhengzheng sneered.
Ding Yijun was stunned, and her particularly sad face slowly showed bewilderment. She didn't understand why her daughter had this attitude when she was so intent on thinking of her daughter.
Chi Zhengzheng stood up and didn't look at her: "You really have a big view, An Qinru hasn't even married Wen Yiran yet, and you want me to start pleasing her? Even if she once hooked up with her cousin's fiancé? I don't care if the Wen family can grow in the future. Even if I have nothing, I won't please someone like An Qinru."
After speaking, she stepped forward, took two steps, and stopped again. Her voice was mocking: "Mom, when An Qinru and I were born, did we hold the wrong person by mistake? Why do I think she is your daughter?"
– She asked this question that she had never been asked for the original owner.
Ding Yijun froze.
Chi Zhengzheng had already left, and she went upstairs to her room.
Ding Yijun trembled slightly. Her eyes were red, and tears flowed out.
She did quite like An Qinru. After all, she knew how to behave and was obedient, and also clung to her. She was also a girl she had watched growing up since childhood, so she had sincere feelings towards her.
But how could she be more important than her daughter?
It really hurt her heart when she said that, and wasn't it for Chi Zhengzheng's own good that she wanted them to reconcile?
Chi Zhengzheng had a bad reputation in the circle. In contrast, Qinru had many friends, and now that Wen Yiran wasn't Zhengzheng's fiancé anymore, Qinru was the one who might marry Wen Yiran in the future.
Wasn't she doing this for the good of Zhengzheng's future?
Qinru was generous. As long as Zhengzheng didn't target her anymore, they could get along very well.
Ding Yijun cried as she thought of her daughter's lack of understanding.
"Mum? What's wrong with you?" Chi Zhouchen's voice was hesitant.
Ding Yijun wiped her tears and shook her head, "Nothing…"
Chi Zhouchen frowned: "Is Chi Zhengzheng angry with you again?"
"Your sister… ay, when will she be more sensible." Thinking of Chi Zhengzheng's words, Ding Yijun's eyes reddened again.
Chi Zhouchen immediately became angry.
He ran upstairs and knocked on the door.
Chi Zhengzheng opened the door and frowned.
Before she could say anything, Chi Zhouchen said angrily. "Can you be more sensible? Do you know that you made your mother cry? How many times has it been that you always make mom angry? Why do I have a sister like you? You are simply -"
His voice trailed off, and Chi Zhouchen's words were lost in her eyes.
The Chi Zhengzheng in front of him neither jumped nor retorted. She just stared at him with those big eyes, indifferently, like… looking at a stranger.
"Have you finished?" Chi Zhengzheng asked.
Chi Zhouchen opened his mouth as if he was out of breath.
Chi Zhengzheng said blankly: "You are sixteen this year, not six. You can ask mom what she just said to me and what I said to her and come to me again."
After saying that, she moved sideways to go out.
As she walked down the hall, Ding Yijun looked at her with a complicated expression.
Chi Zhengzheng stopped her feet for a moment and said, "I'll go out for a walk and come back in the evening." It wasn't a runaway. No need to make a big fuss to find her.
After saying that, Chi Zhengzheng left in big strides.
She could not stay in this house of the Chi family.
She went out, stopped the car, and did it all in one go.
"Where to?" The taxi driver asked.
Chi Zhengzheng was a little confused. The sky was so big, she didn't know where she could go.
This world, after all, was still strange to her.
She had no friends and no place to go.
This family… could it be considered family?
"Where to?" The driver turned back, surprised, and asked again.
She thought for a moment and told him an address.
The car faded away.
Chi Zhengzheng went out again, not for the first time. Many times in the past, she went out after a fight with her family.
But this time was different from before. This time she didn't jump or call names. She spoke indifferently to Ding Yijun and Chi Zhouchen, just a few words.
She seemed so calm, but the two of them in the family couldn't help being stunned, and they couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in their hearts.
Chi Zhouchen went downstairs bewildered and looked at the equally bewildered Ding Yijun, and finally opened his mouth to ask-
"Mom, what did you just say to Chi Zhengzheng?"
This was the first time Chi Zhouchen took the initiative to ask what they had said. He suddenly wanted to know why his mother was angry with Chi Zhengzheng and why Chi Zhengzheng had reacted that way.
Was it because Chi Zhengzheng was being unreasonable again, making trouble out of nothing?
