Lin Shuya knocked on the door.
Qin Churou did not dare to let Lin Shuya know about what happened on the forum.
She quickly adjusted her expression and opened the door.
“Rou’er, what happened?”
Lin Shuya looked inside.
“Mom, I just accidentally broke my phone.”
“That’s good.” Lin Shuya heaved a sigh of relief.
Qin Churou was worried that she would look strange. She said she wanted to rest and got Lin Shuya to leave.
She closed the door and looked at the phone on the floor with a heavy gaze.
‘It’s all because of Qin Sheng!’
If it weren’t for Qin Sheng, she wouldn’t have been disfigured and ridiculed like this.
One day, she would make her pay the price.
But being given to Feng Shuo as a lover wasn’t enough…
—
At night, Father Huang returned from the company but didn’t see Huang Xiaoyan.
Father Huang’s expression was very anxious. “I’m going to look for Xiaoyan. This is the first time Xiaoyan has left home. She hasn’t been back all night.”
Jiang Wangya clenched her fists and smiled demurely. “Brother Xing, you just came back and haven’t eaten dinner. Why don’t you eat a little before you leave? It won’t take too long.”
“No, I’ll eat when I come back.” Father Huang did not even turn his head.
When he reached the door, Father Huang stopped in his tracks.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Wangya suspiciously. “Why didn’t you tell me that Xiao Yan didn’t come back last night?”
Jiang Wangya’s expression froze for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “I saw that your company had an urgent matter yesterday, so I didn’t want you to worry. Last night, I went out to look for her, but I couldn’t find her. Also, I think Xiaoyan is staying at a friend’s house.”
Father Huang’s expression obviously eased up, and he asked again, “What about today?”
Being questioned by Father Huang like this, Jiang Wangya lowered her head with reddened eyes. “I was too tired last night, so I went to sleep when I came back. When I woke up, it was already afternoon, and I was in a hurry to make dinner.”
In fact, Jiang Wangya didn’t go out to look for Huang Xiaoyan at all. Last night, she was playing mahjong with a group of rich wives, and it wasn’t until the next morning that Jiang Wangya came back to rest.
Hearing this, Father Huang felt very guilty. He was the one who had suspected Jiang Wangya just now.
He comforted her. “Wangya, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you.”
“It’s okay. You’re anxious because of Xiaoyan. I can understand,” Jiang Wangya said very considerately, “Brother Xing, it’s not a big deal for you to go out blindly to look for her. Isn’t it Monday today? Call Xiaoyan’s teacher and ask if she went to school.”
Jiang Wangya had been Father Huang’s secretary for many years, and she had been with Father Huang for more than ten years. She was very good at capturing Father Huang’s thoughts. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to keep her mouth shut for so many years.
Father Huang was also anxious. He had not thought of this. “Wangya, thank you.”
Father Huang took out his phone and wanted to call Huang Xiaoyan’s form teacher.
However, he could not find her contact number after searching around. Only then did he remember that he did not have Huang Xiaoyan’s form teacher’s phone number.
Father Huang had never asked about Huang Xiaoyan’s school matters. He had left Huang Xiaoyan’s matters to Jiang Wangya to handle. Naturally, he did not have the form teacher’s phone number.
“Brother Xing, let me ask,” Jiang Wangya said considerately.
Jiang Wangya took out her phone. Before she could make the call, Huang Xiaoyan had already returned.
Father Huang remembered the slap he had given Huang Xiaoyan yesterday afternoon. He felt very guilty, so he did not say anything harsh to Huang Xiaoyan.
“Xiaoyan, you must be hungry. Let’s eat.”
Huang Xiaoyan glanced at Father Huang and did not reply. She quietly went to the dining table and sat down.
Father Huang had been talking to Huang Xiaoyan the whole time. Huang Xiaoyan had never paid any attention to him.
Jiang Wangya smiled and said, “Xiaoyan, don’t blame Brother Xing. He’s doing this for your own good.”
Huang Xiaoyan only smiled mockingly.
She had been eating quietly the entire time. She did not say a word. She was very silent, unlike Huang Xiaoyan’s character.
Her father could not help but frown.
After eating a bowl of rice, Huang Xiaoyan stood up and walked upstairs.
“Xiaoyan,” Father Huang suddenly called out.
Huang Xiaoyan’s footsteps paused slightly. Father Huang hurriedly said, “Xiaoyan, Daddy hit you. It’s Daddy’s fault. I’m sorry.”
This was the first time Father Huang had admitted his mistake.
