Perhaps because she had no expectations, Chi Enen felt surprisingly untroubled when she heard him speak like this.
It seemed that it had always been this way, no matter what Chi Ya did, as long as she cried to Gu Qiaomei, Gu Qiaomei would certainly stand up for her with a lukewarm rebuttal. Then, Chi Jianguo would inevitably back down, and in the end, it would become her fault.
Although she no longer felt disappointed, there was still something inside her that felt like it was blocked, tugging at her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the sour and bitter feelings in her chest. She said, âI know what the truth is. Dad, since you think Iâm overthinking things, then maybe I am.â
Without waiting for Chi Jianguo to reply, she continued, âBut I wonât meet Wang Feng, and I wonât get involved with the Wang family.â
âIâm not trying to sell you; I just want you to meet Young Master Wang,â Chi Jianguo said with a headache, softening his tone and trying to appeal to her emotionally, âI donât know why Mayor Wang is suddenly making things difficult for our company these days. Enen, for the company, for the family, would you please meet him?â
For the company?
For the family?
Does he even know what Wang Feng did to her?
Chi Enen felt a coldness spread within her, not even having the strength to curl the corners of her mouth. With a blank face, she looked at Chi Jianguo and clenched her fists, âI wonât go, Iâm already married.â
Su Chengyan swept his gaze toward herâ
Sheâs married? To whom? To Li Beijue?
Chi Jianguo did not expect her to be so unreasonable. He had spoken to this extent, and yet she was still making up lies to deceive him. His face grew dark with anger as he scolded, âYouâre married? Who are you married to? The person from Zijing Garden?â
Not giving Chi Enen a chance to explain, he slammed his hand down on the table with a thud, causing the teacup on the table to jump.
Aunt Liu, who was beside them, looked worriedly at the stubborn Chi Enen standing there, wanting to come forward and intercede, but not daring to interject at this time.
âI always thought you were different from your mother, that you were a girl with self-respect and love. Even after what happened five years ago, I still believed that you were just young and foolish. And now, it turns out that youâve been living with a strange man outside, and even got sponsored because of money!â
His daughter, Bae Chi, got sponsored. How could he face anyone if word got out?
Chi Enenâs face turned slightly pale, she lifted her chin and for the first time, talked back, âIt takes two to clap, and even if my mom had no self-respect and love, she couldnât have given birth to me alone!â
Her clear eyes stared into Chi Jianguoâs, emotions of disappointment and scorn surfaced but eventually became a numbness without expectation, âI donât know who has been whispering in your ear. I have been living with someone, but itâs not what you think. However, it doesnât matter. In dadâs heart, my existence is only a disgrace.â
That too was why she had to make things clear with Li Beijue.
She had already grown up in a distorted environment and didnât want Baby Chi to grow up in the same circumstances.
Chi Jianguo, unable to maintain eye contact, seemed full of guilty conscience, but in the next second, he steeled his heart again. He had nothing to feel guilty about; after all, he didnât throw her away to the orphanage but instead brought her up, which was already taking responsibility.
Chi Enen took another deep breath, glanced over everyone in the villa, then looked back at Chi Jianguo and said indifferently, âNo matter how you see me, I am grateful for your kindness in raising me. Donât worry, I wonât trouble you. Iâll leave Rainy City immediately, so you donât have to worry about offending Mayor Wang.â
Chi Jianguoâs face relaxed slightly.
Pausing, she said expressionlessly, âHowever, before I go, thereâs one more thing I have to do.â
