Chi Shuyan truly didn’t know how worried the Wei family was about her. When she woke up the next morning, her back ached terribly.
Fortunately, probably because her body was used to Qi Zhenbai’s torment, there weren’t any other after-effects apart from her aching back and weak legs. She also saw that she was clean; the man had probably washed her last night.
Hearing the commotion outside, Chi Shuyan was afraid that her father would sense that something wasn’t right, so she quickly got up.
After getting up and washing up, she saw that the porridge was already ladled out and placed on the table for breakfast. As soon as Chi Shuyan walked into the kitchen, Father Chi immediately told his daughter not to come in, and to just wait for breakfast, which was almost ready.
Chi Shuyan could only give up.
At that moment, Qi Zhenbai also came in. His eyes fell on his wife, and his gaze deepened. His cold and hard face immediately softened, and the gentleness and indulgence in his eyes practically overflowed.
Chi Shuyan originally wanted to bicker with this man about last night, but when she met his utterly gentle gaze, she subconsciously looked away.
Father Chi didn’t notice anything strange between the two. He thought about how the Fang family had come looking for him. While they ate breakfast, Father Chi couldn’t help but ask, “Yan Yan, can you help cure Fang Qingyang of the corpse poison?”
Father Chi told the truth and said that Fang Qingtian had come to find him last night. Although he usually didn’t get along with the Fang family, in the end. they had never really done anything to harm him. Moreover, they were in the same military district, so it wasn’t good for them to have a strained
relationship.
Hearing her father’s words, Chi Shuyan raised her eyebrows. She had expected that the Fang family would look for her, but she never thought that they would look for her father directly. Indeed, was her father easier to talk to, so they planned to go through him?
Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and a cold light flashed in them. She said calmly, “Dad, since the Fang family wants me to do something for them, they naturally have to show some sincerity. What did the Fang family promise?”
Father Chi, who had always been an honest person, choked at his daughter’s words. This child’s character really didn’t resemble anyone he knew. He couldn’t help but say, “Yan Yan, although Fang Qingyang and I don’t get along, he hasn’t really done anything bad to me except for a few trivial matters!
Fang Qingtian apologized to me last night, and he was very sincere!”
Looking at her father’s expression, Chi Shuyan knew that the Fang family probably hadn’t promised anything. Her father was easy to fob off, but she wasn’t. Not to mention whether or not the other party would appreciate it if she really treated the corpse poison, she was afraid that the Fang family would
be even harsher toward her father in the future. She wasn’t an idiot. She said calmly, “Dad, let them come and find me themselves!”
At that moment, Qi Zhenbai suddenly said in a low voice to Father Chi, “Dad, it wasn’t easy for Yan Yan to get rid of the corpse poison! She helped Shen Rongyin get rid of the corpse poison a day or two ago; she seems a little weak lately.”
As soon as Qi Zhenbai said that, Father Chi immediately looked worriedly at his daughter. Because she had been tormented by a certain man last night, Chi Shuyan’s face really was a bit pale. On top of that, her skin was fair to begin with. For a moment, Father Chi really thought that removing the corpse
poison had harmed Yan Yan. Compared with Fang Qingyang, his daughter’s health was more important.
Taking advantage of the fact that her father wasn’t paying attention, Chi Shuyan blinked at a tall man in front of her. Did this man have to be so black-bellied? However, there was a smile on her face as she said to Father Chi, “Dad, I just need to rest for a few days and not exert myself!”
At that moment, Fang Qingtian came to visit again in person. Wei Xiao was with him; he had probably been forced by Fang Qingtian to come along. To be honest, he was subconsciously fearful of Chi Lingyan’s daughter. This girl wasn’t like other girls her age. Not only was she sharp-tongued, she also had
a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She was too good at screwing people over.
