âWhatâs the matter?â
Chi Enen didnât speak; she walked straight up to Gu Qiaomei and expressionlessly pulled Chi Ya, who was buried in her arms.
â What are you doing? Chi Enen, get your dirty hands off of me!â Chi Ya struggled desperately but was no match for Chi Enenâs surprising strength and couldnât break free. The thought of Chi Enen embarrassing her in front of Su Chengyan made her scream shrilly, âI told you to let go of me! You littleâ¦wildâ¦thing!â
Just as the three words dropped.
Chi Enen raised her hand and landed a slap across her face.
âSlap!â
The crisp sound echoed through the villa.
Chi Yaâs face turned sideways from the blow, and she covered half her face in disbelief, looking at her, âYou dare to hit me?â
âThat slap was for those three words you just said! I have a father and a mother, and even if I didnât, itâs not your place to talk nonsense!â
Even if the four words made Chi Jianguoâs face redden with anger, he scolded in a veiled rage, âEnen, what are you doing!â
Chi Enen seemed not to hear him; she swung her hand again and landed another heavy slap on the other half of Chi Yaâs face.
âThis slap is for your âcareâ at the Money Cabinet.â She enunciated the word âcareâ especially clearly.
Chi Ya had wanted to make a scene, but the mention of Money Cabinet made her glance away. She claimed loudly, âI have no idea what youâre talking about; the Money Cabinet thing was already explained very clearly just now, it was a coincidence!â
âWhether itâs a coincidence you know, and I know too,â Chi Enen didnât want to argue with her, and landed the final slap.
Chi Yaâs left cheek swelled and numbed with pain as she held it, furious beyond words.
âThat slap is for the nonsense youâve been talking to dad behind my back.â
Gu Qiaomei watched Chi Enen land three slaps on her precious daughterâs face and suddenly snapped back to reality, her anger cooling down, she reprimanded sternly, âChi Enen, if youâre going to act crazy, at least look at where you are. Do you really think I canât handle you?â
âI know exactly where I am. This is your house, Chi Yaâs house, the Rainy City Chi familyâs house.â But it wasnât her home.
She faced Gu Qiaomeiâs wrath without flinching; after all, she had withstood even that certain personâs fury, so what were othersâ anger to her? They couldnât possibly be more terrifying than Li Beijue when he was enraged.
She pursed her lips tightly and finally said to Chi Ya, covering her face, âThose three slaps are to show you that I will not tolerate you any longer. If thereâs a next time, donât blame me for not being polite to you!â
After finishing her words, she turned to Chi Jianguo, gave a slight bow, and leftâ¦
Only when she walked out of the Chi familyâs door did her eyes start to redden.
She suppressed the swirl of grievance and sourness in her heart, constantly telling herself, âChi Enen, itâs no big deal, you were going to leave anyway. Sooner or later itâs the same thing, itâs just sooner rather than later. And leaving Rainy City isnât a bad thing either, one must look at things positively, be more optimisticâ¦â
The tightness in her chest eased, and she let out a breath, heading towards Zijing Gardenâ¦
She still had to pack her clothes and return the ring and bracelet Li Beijue gave her. Car fare was also an issue, and with Anxin not around, she had to figure it out herself.
Phew- Thereâs always a way out; she refused to believe a living person could die of pee retention!
Inside the Chi Villa.
After she left, there was a stretch of silence. Then Madam Su elegantly stood up, took the dispirited Su Chengyan by the arm, and said, âPresident Chi must have things to take care of, so we wonât disturb you any longer, weâll take our leave.â
After being made a spectacle of, Gu Qiaomei wasnât in the mood to ask them to stay any longer. After exchanging a few words, she saw them out.
Chi Jianguo, probably unable to hold in his anger, unleashed a torrent of fury on the sobbing Chi Ya, then went to the company.
In the blink of an eye, only Gu Qiaomei and Chi Ya were left at home.
