CHAPTER 12

When Chu Ning saw Ji Yunzhu's first message, she already knew what was going on. She exited WeChat and the game interface.

She got up, picked up the jewelry box, and knocked on the opposite room.

Only she and Chu Zhengde lived on the second floor. Now she knew that Chu Zhengde and Ruan Wanluo lived separately. He lived on the third floor with Chu Xi.

However, this had nothing to do with her.

When Chu Zhengde saw Chu Ning, he was a little surprised, then happy. However, he still looked very serious. "What's the matter?"

Chu Ning threw the jewelry box to him. "I don't like it."

She thought of something and explained, "It doesn't suit me."

Then she turned and left. Chu Zhengde was a little angry and ashamed. He didn't know why, but the box in his hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. The jewelry was exposed to Chu Zhengde's sight.

Chu Zhengde didn't have time to explain. When he saw the jewelry on the ground, he was full of surprise and then anger!

Madam Chen happened to pass by. "Master, does Miss not like these? I shouldn't have said that. These are too petty. They don't suit Miss's temperament at all. It's normal that she doesn't like them. "

Chu Zhengde loudly scolded Madam Chen, who was picking up the jewelry. After knowing that his attitude was bad, he immediately apologized. "Sorry, Madam Chen. I didn't mean it to you. Please help me call Chu Xi over. You don't have to pick up these. "

Madam Chen was shocked at first. Then she looked at the things on the ground and roughly knew what was going on.

In anger, she immediately went up to the third floor and called Chu Xi down.

When Chu Xi was called, she felt a little uneasy. "Madam Chen, can you tell me why Dad is looking for me so late?"

Madam Chen sneered. "Second Miss, you'll know when you get there."

Chu Xi hated this old woman to death. In the family, this Nanny Chen was the one who didn't get along with her the most. She didn't like her at all. Even when she asked in such a humble tone, she didn't give her a good attitude.

When she turned to go downstairs, she clearly heard Madam Chen say, "What's not yours will never be yours."

Chu Xi felt even more uneasy.

Sure enough, when she saw the jewelry scattered all over the floor in front of Chu Zhengde's room, her uneasiness intensified. Before she could even get close, Chu Zhengde had already started lecturing her.

Chu Ning, who was leaning against the door, smiled and murmured, "Daddy."

"Is there really a misunderstanding between us?"

Chu Ning left the door and slowly walked to the window of the room, looking at the starry night sky.

She remembered that when she was seven years old, she had just gotten into a car accident and her mother had gone missing.

Before confirming whether or not her mother was still alive, her father directly concluded that her mother was dead. He even quickly held a banquet with Ruan Wanluo.

She wanted her father to spend more time with her, but he always threw her to Ruan Wanluo.

Her father himself had not been home for a month. He did not know that Ruan Wanluo, who appeared gentle on the surface, had abused her, beaten her, and starved her.

Every time her father came home, he would always quarrel with her over various things. Every time he had a conflict with Chu Xi, he would always stand on Chu Xi's side.

Over time, she knew that her father was no longer her father.

Under her stepmother's education and harsh treatment, she grew up quickly and learned to hide herself. She no longer talked to her father and acted like a spoiled child.

A tear rolled down from her cheek to her chin and dripped onto the back of her beautiful hand.

"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door. "Limes, it's Daddy."

Chu Ning wiped away her tears and quickly regained her indifference. She opened the game page and pretended to be playing. "Come in."

Chu Zhengde personally brought over a special box from Crimson Cloud Pavilion. Even though he was the chairman of a corporation, he was now the father of a child. Even so, he still felt a little uneasy and apologetic.
