“Let’s talk at home,” Chi Mingwei said slowly, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes as he looked at Chi Yan.
He had once thought that Chi Yan had a good personality. He thought that after Jiaojiao returned, she would definitely treat her like she was her biological younger sister.
In order to let Chi Yan feel the warmth of a family, he even agreed to change her surname to Chi and enter the Chi family’s household register to become a member of the family. He treated Chi Yan like his own daughter and had never treated her badly.
But he was good to Chi Yan not because he wanted to let her climb over his biological daughter’s head and abuse her power.
“Daddy, I want to wait here for Brother Quan,” Chi Jiao said in a small voice.
When Chi Mingwei saw how much she cared about Quan Jue, he sighed helplessly in his heart.
This time, Quan Jue hit Lan Yunhan because of Jiaojiao.
It could be considered that he had vented Chi Mingwei’s anger on his behalf.
Therefore, he couldn’t refuse Jiaojiao’s request.
“Then, how are you going to get home later?” Chi Mingwei asked. “I’ll send the chauffeur over.”
He had to bring Chi Yan back first. He needed to have a good talk with her.
“No need. I can take a taxi home,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.
Chi Mingwei rubbed her head. “Come home early, got it?”
Chi Jiao nodded obediently.
The harmonious interaction between the father and daughter made Chi Yan jealous.
When Chi Mingwei looked at Chi Yan again, his expression turned solemn. “Chi Yan, come home with me now.”
Chi Yan clenched her fists and turned to walk out of the hall without saying a word.
…
Half an hour later, at home.
Zhu Limin knew that Chi Yan and Chi Jiao had gone to the police station. She was waiting anxiously at home when she heard the sound of the door opening.
Chi Mingwei and Chi Yan walked into the living room one after another with ugly expressions on their faces.
“What on earth happened? Why did you all fight until the police got involved? Yunhan, is Yunhan alright?” Zhu Limin was very anxious. The matter between Chi Yan and Lan Yunhan had already caused a sensation in White City. Now, even if she wanted Chi Yan to climb up the social ladder, it was probably impossible. Therefore, she decided to make Chi Yan hold on to Lan Yunhan tightly.
The Lan family’s influence in White City couldn’t be underestimated. Chi Yan wouldn’t suffer as long as she followed Lan Yunhan.
“You sure are concerned about Lan Yunhan,” Chi Mingwei said in a strange tone, his gaze filled with mockery as he looked at her. “If you’re so concerned about him, why don’t you go to the hospital to visit him yourself?”
“I…” Zhu Limin was rendered speechless by Chi Mingwei’s retort.
“Dad, this has nothing to do with Mom. You don’t have to talk to her in that manner.” Chi Yan walked between the two of them and faced Chi Mingwei. “Dad, just vent any complaints on me. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have snatched Lan Yunhan away and made Jiaojiao sad.”
However, Chi Mingwei didn’t detect any guilt in her words at all.
“You knew that your younger sister was engaged to Lan Yunhan, but you still wanted to be close to him. Did I say anything unpleasant previously because of this?” Chi Mingwei questioned coldly.
Chi Yan bit her bottom lip and said nothing in return.
Indeed, Chi Mingwei didn’t say anything when he knew that she had been intimate with Lan Yunhan.
“I didn’t say anything to save you some face. I thought that since you and Lan Yunhan are adults now, you both would be able to settle the relationship between the two of you and Jiaojiao properly.” Chi Mingwei became angrier the more he spoke. “But how did you repay me? Lan Yunhan wanted to talk to Jiaojiao about breaking the engagement at the banquet. Did you not know about it at all beforehand?”
