He previously thought that she was better off at home, so he teased her, but not anymore.
Because he found out – she wasn't happy at home.
Yesterday, when he dropped her off, she left the house. Today, when he dropped her off at noon, she still couldn't stay and left.
Right now, she couldn't stay.
It was the third time it had happened.
Each time, it wasn't Chi Zhengzheng's fault.
It was that she wasn't suited to stay in this house anymore.
Chi Zhengzheng stared at him, her nostrils slightly sour, and for a moment, her eyes were even a little wet.
She hadn't cried when she had come to this unfamiliar world.
When her nominal fiancé and cousin betrayed her, she didn't cry.
Nor did she cry when others shunned her and accused her.
She didn't even cry when the Chi family misunderstood her.
That was her character. The more unhappy she was, the stronger she was. Her grandmother had told her the more people didn't care, the more she shouldn't shed tears because… no one would care.
The warmth of Wen Yu's hand came from the palm of his large hand, and Chi Zhengzheng's eyes became inexplicably wet.
She blinked, and the actual tears didn't fall down.
Ding Yijun was somewhat dazed and opened her mouth: "W-What do you mean?"
Wen Yu stood next to Chi Zhengzheng, holding her hand in one hand, clutching his suit jacket in the other, his gaze like a torch: "She is my fiancée. I'm taking her away, can't I?"
The voice was calm and righteous.
Chi Yan was furious and picked up a teacup and smashed it in Wen Yu's direction.
Wen Yu pulled Chi Zhengzheng back a step and his body forward, blocking her in front of her.
"Crash-" The cup smashed on the ground, porcelain pieces scattered across the floor.
This was the second cup sacrificed tonight.
"Shameless!" Chi Yan clutched his chest, furious: "Wen Yu! This is the Chi family, not a place for you to go wild!"
Wen Yu didn't say anything, just looked straight at him and sneered, his fingertips nudging the top of the suit jacket he was clutching, his eyes dark.
– If his secretary and assistant and the people inside the company had seen this, they would have been scared to death.
Those who knew him well would know that this was his angry reaction.
Chi Yan didn't understand it, so he didn't know that he had already crossed the borderline of Wen Yu's anger.
It was just that when he met those eyes of Wen Yu's, he inexplicably had a chill in his heart.
His anger stalled slightly, and the hand clutching his chest paused slightly.
When he felt the slender hand he was holding move, Wen Yu withdrew his eyes, the hostility in his eyes faded, and he looked at Chi Zhengzheng: "Let's go now, bring your ID card. We'll leave without packing our things and buy new ones, okay?"
After all, they were Chi Zhengzheng's parents, so Wen Yu suppressed the anger that had just risen in his heart.
Chi Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Okay."
She really couldn't stay in this Chi family anymore. Wen Yu offered to take her away, so let's just leave the Chi family first.
"Zhengzheng, where are you going? This is your home!" Ding Yijun understood. She could see that Chi Zhengzheng was serious, so she hurried forward, "You know your father has this temper. He actually loves you very much. Calm down first. Let's talk properly."
Her voice was anxious, and her expression was a little flustered.
Ding Yijun was not a person with high emotional intelligence, nor could she handle this situation properly. At the moment, she was only filled with anxiety.
She could feel it –
Chi Zhengzheng's departure this time was different from before.
"Dad, Mom." Chi Zhengzheng still addressed them as such. These were the original owner's real parents. Having given birth to and raised the original owner, this title was a must.
It just wasn't the same in the end. Although they were family, they didn't all love each other.
It was the original owner they had raised and the original owner they had spent twenty years with, and the family in her heart was not them.
Chi Zhengzheng didn't hate or resent them, but she didn't want to stay either.
It was hard for her to stay in the Chi family, so she wouldn't stay.
Chi Zhengzheng looked at them calmly and said, "I wanted to talk to all of you properly, but you are not willing to talk to me properly. Without any inquiry or trust, you decided that what An Qinru said was true and that I was the one who caused Wen Sisi to go to the hospital. But if you had any trust in me and checked for yourselves, you would have known – Wen Sisi was hospitalized with a fever."
She was hospitalized with a cold and fever, not beaten or plotted against.
These words were like a bucket of cold water splashed towards the angry Chi Yan, making his anger disappear instantly. In his heart, it was slowly replaced by another emotion.
"What… What did you just say?" It took a long time for Chi Yan to speak.
He felt guilty and ashamed.
But as the elder of the family, a person used to giving orders, he was unwilling to admit that he was wrong.
He would still find fault with Chi Zhengzheng and blame her for it.
-He would not think he had done anything wrong, and even if he knew, he would not admit it.
-She already knew that.
The corners of Chi Zhengzheng's mouth hooked, her smile was a little cold, her voice still calm: "Didn't you basically decide when I came back? Mum and Dad, it's not the first time something like this has happened."
There was no need to think about it. An Qinru had accused her, and Wen Sisi was hospitalized because of her fever. As long as she didn't say that Wen Sisi was suffering from a fever, the words could easily make people misunderstand.
As far as Chi Zhengzheng could remember, such things had happened frequently since she was a child.
The Chi family would immediately believe An Qinru. Sometimes they would listen to what Chi Zhengzheng had to say. Sometimes they would not even listen.
They felt from the bottom of their hearts that –
Their daughter was a troublemaker.
There did not trust her.
At the moment, Chi Zhengzheng was very calm, but the calmer she was, the more she made Ding Yijun feel self-conscious.
She had been reflecting on herself all afternoon, but how could she have hurt her again in the evening?
Why didn't she ask more questions?
The words "not the first time" made Ding Yijun and Chi Yan freeze for a moment, their hearts stirring with myriad complicated emotions.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Chi Zhengzheng turned around and looked at Wen Yu: "Let's go."
"Mm." Wen Yu nodded.
Before lifting his feet, he gave An Qinru another glance.
That glance was like looking at a dead person, and his voice was low and cold –
"Don't treat everyone else as a fool."
His deep eyes were bottomless, and his sight was as sharp as a knife as if he could easily control her life and death as if he could make her life worse than death.
An Qinru subconsciously took two steps back, chills running through her body.
Wen Yu had already led Chi Zhengzheng out.
Ding Yijun anxiously chased after her and shouted: "Zhegzheng!"
But Chi Zhengzheng did not stop.
Chi Zhengzheng just left with Wen Yu.
Ding Yijun was anxious to chase after her, but Chi Yan was furious and said. "Let her go! She didn't explain things on her own. We've asked her if she had explained herself, how can she be wronged? Look at this attitude of hers. It's all because you've spoiled her. If you don't follow her heart, she won't be happy!"
He sat on the sofa, clutching his chest in exasperation.
Equally worried about Chi Yan, Ding Yijun stopped and turned back to pour him water.
She patted Chi Yan's heart while saying to Chi Zhouchen, "Zhouchen, go and persuade your sister to come back. How could she go live with Wen Yu…."
"What kind of persuasion?" Chi Yan said with a rough voice.
After saying that, he sighed again and waved his hand, "She won't listen, now that she's so angry. Let her go with Wen Yu. They're going to get married in the future. It doesn't matter if they live together. We can't stop them."
Ding Yijun's eyebrows furrowed together. She still didn't want Chi Zhengzheng to marry Wen Yu in the future, but now was not the time to discuss it.
She sighed with him: "If Zhengzheng is angry, she definitely won't come back even if we ask her to. It's fine to let her stay out for a few days. It's just that we…"
They probably did misunderstand Zhengzheng just now!
Ding Yijun didn't say the following words, her eyebrows furrowed together, and her heart was uncomfortable.
The phrase "not the first time" really made her feel uncomfortable.
Chi Yan understood what she wanted to say. However, he was still stubborn, glaring at Ding Yijun: "Can't she explain it properly if we misunderstood her? Who doesn't know what kind of relationship she had with Wen Sisi? She's the one who didn't explain herself clearly, and she even got angry at us! Running away from home at every turn, this girl is really getting more and more lawless now!"
He was so angry that he slapped the sofa and said, "Let her go! Let her go out and live. Let's see how long she can stay out and not come back if she's that capable!"
"Lao Chi, what nonsense!" Ding Yijun glared at him, sighing long and hard with worry.
Now that the little one was angry, and the elder one was also stubborn and unhappy, her heart was mixed with guilt and helplessness.
Her eyes looked toward the door, and she sighed long and hard again.
Chi Zhouchen still walked out. Only when he reached the door he turn back –
"Mom and Dad, I'll go after Chi Zhengzheng first. You ask An Qinru for clarification."
He gave An Qinru a stern look.
In the past, Chi Zhouchen and An Qinru had a good relationship. At least it was much better than with Chi Zhengzheng. He felt that An Qinru, who was so intelligent and gentle, deserved to be called his sister.
But today, Chi Zhengzheng's "not the first time" was like a blow to his heart.
He took a closer look at his "cousin."
Even if what happened between Wen Yiran and An Qinru was unintentional, and even if she didn't mean what happened to Chi Zhengzheng in the car accident, she definitely had something to do with what happened today!
Chi Zhouchen's attitude towards Chi Zhengzheng was still very complicated. Still, his attitude towards An Qinru was no longer the same as before.
After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Both Chi Yan and Ding Yijun looked at An Qinru.
The annoyance on one's face and the sadness on the other's were replaced by an expressionless calmness.
But this calmness appeared that "the mountains and the rain are about to come and blow full of buildings."
An Qinru's body staggered slightly.
From the moment Chi Zhengzheng returned, when Chi Yan questioned her and Chi Zhengzheng became angry, she had a smile in her eyes, satisfied to the extreme.
However, Wen Yu also came, and he wanted to take Chi Zhengzheng away as soon as he arrived.
At that moment, An Qinru had a bad feeling in her heart.
Now that Wen Yu had taken Chi Zhengzheng away from the Chi family. Chi Yan couldn't look angry and not feel guilty in his heart, not to mention Ding Yijun, who was already regretting it.
As soon as An Qinru sobered up for a moment, her heart was filled with regret.
-She had been eager today.
The changes between Wen Sisi and Wen Yiran scared her, and she was so scared that she lost her mind. When she returned, she was once again irritated by the reaction of the Chi family and had provoked them impulsively!
Although she didn't say a single lie, there were clear signs of provocation.
"An Qinru, what the hell is going on?" Chi Yan's voice was icy cold.
An Qinru was just about to open her mouth when Chi Yan added another sentence –
"Think carefully before you say anything. You have to know that if the Chi family doesn't recognize you as a niece and decides to kick you out, will the Wen family be willing to accept you to marry Wen Yiran?"
An Qinru's face turned white in an instant.
