Qu Qiang had already guessed in his heart why Elder Qu and Madam Qu were looking for him and his daughter. However, he still pretended to be unaware and asked, “Chief, do you know why they are looking for me and my daughter?”
Qu Yaotian replied with a cold snort. “Qu Qiang, you’ve been under my command for so many years. You should know the temperament of our people. Although Chen Meng’er’s surname isn’t Qu, the blood of our family indeed flows in her veins. She’s the eldest miss of our family’s direct line of descent. Her nobility isn’t something that can be changed by just a few words of slander.”
“Yes, Chief. I understand, I understand.” Even though they were separated by the phone, Qu Yaotian’s powerful aura still made Qu Qiang break out in cold sweat.
“Remember, tomorrow morning at eight o’clock, you are to be here. Don’t let my parents wait too long.” If it wasn’t for his father, Elder Qu, calling him today, Qu Yaotian wouldn’t even know about it.
On the phone, he had been scolded by his father quite a few times.
However, this matter was his fault for not disciplining his subordinates.
“I know. Don’t worry, Chief. I will definitely be there on time tomorrow.” Qu Qiang hung up the phone and raised his head. When he saw Qu Yaoxi who still looked like she was wronged, the fire in his heart surged.
Qu Qiang looked at his daughter who still had such an unrepentant look on her face and thought about what Qu Yaotian said on the phone just now. Qu Qiang rushed up and gave Qu Yaoxi a tight slap.
Qu Yaoxi never expected that her father, who had always cherished her, would actually slap her.
Qu Yaoxi covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief. “Dad, you actually hit me.” Qu Yaoxi looked at her father and cried.
When his hand hit his daughter’s face, he regretted it. However, when he thought of the things that their family would face later on, he only hated himself for not teaching his daughter a good lesson earlier. “It’s about you, Qu Yaoxi. You had better reflect on yourself tonight. In front of Elder Qu and Madam Qu tomorrow, you should apologize to them and reflect on yourself.”
Qu Yaoxi still wanted to retort, but she was stopped by her father’s stern gaze. “If you dare talk back to me again, you’ll get it. Qu Yaoxi, don’t be jealous of Chen Meng’er. You can only see the surface. It’s as if Chen Meng’er, a country girl, suddenly became the eldest daughter of the Qu family’s direct line of descent. It’s as if she suddenly became a princess that was doted on by thousands of people. You’ve always felt that you’re not inferior to her, or even more outstanding than her. However, you’re wrong. Although I’ve never seen Chen Meng’er with my own eyes, I’ve long heard of what she did. Do you think that a simple country girl would become the little miss of the Green Gang and help the Qu family ascend to the highest peak? My daughter, you’re not young anymore. It’s time for you to grow up. In the past, I’ve always thought of letting you be a happy little princess under my wings. But I’ve only realized now that I was wrong. I was terribly wrong.” Qu Qiang’s hands ruthlessly wiped his face.
“Dad.” Qu Yaoxi saw her father like this and was a little dumbfounded.
“Don’t say anything else. I don’t want to hear it now. Go back to your room now and reflect on yourself. Also, go back and prepare an apology. Tomorrow, when you are in front of Elder Qu and Madam Qu, you will tell them everything in detail.” Qu Qiang waved his hand and signaled Qu Yaoxi not to say anything else.
