Interrogation. Just one word, perfection.

Did she just ask me to lend her my phone to order takeaway?

For a moment, Wen Sisi didn’t know whether it was Chi Zhengzheng who was out of her mind or herself.

She stared at her with round eyes and gritted her teeth. “Why should I!”

“I will tell the Wen family that you are…”

“Bang!” The phone was thrown at her, and Wen Sisi spat blood in anger. She sat on the bed, gasping for air.

Chi Zhengzheng opened her phone and saw that she needed to enter her fingerprint, so she reached for Wen Sisi’s hand and unlocked it in front of her. While glaring at her with a stunned expression, she opened the takeaway app and ordered food.

“Chi Zhengzheng!!!” Wen Si Si growled.

She was deceived!

After Chi Zhengzheng changed the address, she returned her phone to her, “Keep it down, don’t disturb others. I’ll listen to you. You can talk.”

“You, you, you….” Wen Sisi was so angry that she vomited blood, her face was white full of anger, and she couldn’t even speak.

Chi Zhengzheng reached out and turned on the TV. She sat on the small sofa, kicked off her shoes, lazily lying down, and gave her a look, “Don’t get angry. Nobody could replace you if you get sick from excessive anger.”

Wen Sisi: “…”

The TV sound was on, it was a dog-blooded idol drama, and Chi Zhengzheng watched it intently.

Wen Sisi was so angry that she slammed her phone on the bed, pounding her hand on the bed, so mad that her eyes turned black.

The Chi family.

After Chi Zhengzheng left, Chi Yan interrogated An Qinru with a cold voice.

What happened that day?

An Qinru opened her mouth, and her eyes turned red.

How could she dare tell them the truth?

She moved her eyes to look at Ding Yijun as if asking for help, yet at that moment, Ding Yijun was also looking at her with complicated eyes.

No matter how many excuses there were, no matter how many benefits there were, she was indeed with Wen Yiran. Their emotional entanglement had begun when Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yiran were still engaged.

Even Ding Yijun could not help but be suspicious.

— Is it true, as her niece claims, that she didn’t do it on purpose?

“T-That day… Brother Yiran wanted to see me, I also wanted to make things clear with him, so I agreed. However, I didn’t expect that when I was about to refuse Brother Yiran, Sister Zhengzheng would come. She slapped me very angrily, and Brother Yiran said… h-he said he wanted to break off the engagement. Sister Zingzheng couldn’t accept it and wanted to leave, I couldn’t stop her, and the next thing I knew, the car accident happened. “An Qinru said while tears were streaming down her face.

This explanation sounded reasonable, and the suspicion in Ding Yijun’s eyes disappeared a little.

Ding Yijun watched An Qinru grow up. She had been fond of her since she was young. Although she was another family’s child, she had always clung to her, so Ding Yijun loved her very much.

Therefore, she always trusted An Qinru.

However, Chi Yan wasn’t convinced. Wen Yu’s words had affected him. At that moment, his guilt towards Chi Zhengzheng was at its peak, causing him to think very rationally about An Qinru’s words.

Chi Yan was usually very busy. He had too many things to deal with daily, so he didn’t pay too much attention to his children’s conflicts with other people.

Chi Zhouchen was the future heir of the Chi family. He would inherit the Chi family business, so he also had to spend most of his free time nurturing Chi Zhouchen. Chi Zhengzheng could only be put in the back of his mind.

– She often made things difficult for An Qinru. She disliked An Qinru and had a somewhat arrogant temper. This was the impression Chi Yan used to have of his daughter.

As a businessman, many things could be given up to make a profit.

For example, Chi Zhengzheng’s resentment and anger.

Not only Chi Zhengzheng’s but also his grievances and anger could be given up in the name of the business.

Therefore, Chi Yan did not see anything wrong with maintaining a friendly relationship with An Qinru after he was sure that Wen Yiran acknowledged only her.

– But, the premise of this was if An Qinru was on the Chi family’s side.

At that moment, Chi Yan could see that something was wrong.

He said in a cold voice: “Since you went to talk things out with Wen Yiran on the day of Zhengzheng’s car accident. Why did you keep being ambiguous with Wen Yiran afterward, even in Zhengzheng’s hospital ward….”

He looked at her coldly; at that moment, those sharp eyes looked like they could see through everything.

An Qinru stiffened, then stammered, “I-I… just went there to see Sister Zhengzheng. It was Brother Yiran… I-I… I love him. I couldn’t help it….”

Firstly, she put all the blame on Wen Yiran, and later, she put some blame on herself— she couldn’t help it.

However, she couldn’t fool anyone now, especially since Chi Yan didn’t seem to care. An Qinru could easily convince the naive Ding Yijun, but it was challenging to deceive Chi Yan. The latter was very experienced in the business.

“So you decide to go there every day? Is that how you tried to refuse him?” Chi Yan’s eyes grew colder.

“I…” An Qinru’s mind was a mess, and she didn’t know how to defend herself for a moment.

At that moment, Chi Zhouchen came back.

He was full of impatience: “Dad, Mom, Chi Zhengzheng has disappeared. I didn’t find her, so I asked the driver to look everywhere around the house again. I came back first. I’m sleepy.”

Ding Yijun stood up with anxiousness on her face, “Where the hell did Zhengzheng go? Her mobile phone is broken, and she doesn’t have her ID. Where could she go? No, I’m going out to look.”

Chi Yan’s eyes also showed concern as he stood up and waved his hand, “Wait at home. She might come back if she has nowhere to go. I’ll get someone to check the surveillance cameras first.”

His eyes swept over An Qinru, and seeing Chi Zhouchen made him regain his composure.

– If she was really going to marry Wen Yiran in the future, she couldn’t be too offended.

So, Chi Yan said, “An Qinru, don’t forget who raised you all these years. Zhengzheng is my biological daughter. Put away your petty thoughts.”

Having said that, he hurried upstairs.

An Qinru sat on the sofa, her head blank for a moment.

A few moments later, Chi Yan came out of the study, looking a little more relaxed —

“Zhengzheng got into Wen Yu’s car.”

Chi Zhouchen yawned, knowing that nothing would happen to Chi Zhengzheng. He couldn’t be bothered, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Ding Yijun sighed in relief and relaxed on the sofa.

When she looked at An Qinru on the opposite side, her eyes were extremely complicated.

“Auntie…” An Qinru cried out, feeling wronged.

Ding Yijun didn’t comfort her as she always did and stood up, simply saying, “I’ll go up first and ask where Zhengzheng is now.”

After saying that, without waiting for An Qinru to say anything, she hurriedly went upstairs.

Looking at Ding Yijun’s back, An Qinru’s hand clenched into a fist, and the grievances and innocence in her eyes gradually disappeared and turned into some concern…

She knew Ding Yijun was beginning to suspect her and Chi Yan had no feelings for her.

If Wen Yiran no longer liked her and she no longer had the possibility of marrying him, she would have no place in the Chi family.
