Chi Ya was still crying, but Gu Qiaomei did not coddle her. Instead, she set down the teacup she was holding with a thud and huffed coldly, “You still have the face to cry.”
“Mom?” Chi Ya opened her tearful eyes wide in disbelief.
Had she seen a ghost today? Why was everyone treating her this way?
She could understand if Brother Chengyan and Dad were angry with her, but why was even her usually doting mom having this attitude? What had she done wrong?
Gu Qiaomei’s graceful features were now cold and stern as she asked without a trace of warmth in her voice, “Tell me, what exactly did you do at Money Cabinet that day?”
Money Cabinet again… Chi Ya’s eyes flickered; her crying ceased for a moment before she pleaded in a wronged tone, “Mom, you don’t believe me either? I didn’t do anything; it was Chi Enen who framed me! She is jealous of me and Brother Chengyan being together, so she slandered me in front of Dad and Brother Chengyan…”
“Enough!” Gu Qiaomei interrupted her, speaking impatiently, “I know whether you did it or not. Are you going to tell me yourself, or shall I investigate?”
She had heard that Mayor Wang’s son had been crippled by someone recently and that he hadn’t even made it to the hospital, being taken away by the police instead. Combining Mayor Wang suddenly making things difficult for the company and what Chi Enen had said, she couldn’t help but suspect Chi Ya.
In front of the Su family and Chi Jianguo, she had to defend Chi Ya. But privately, she had to get to the bottom of this to prevent any greater trouble. “What did you do to Chi Enen?”
“I…” Chi Ya was not most afraid of Chi Jianguo at home, but rather Gu Qiaomei who seemed to have a mild temperament. Because when Gu Qiaomei said she would do something, she absolutely would! Chi Ya bit her lip, bracing herself as she said, “I introduced her to Wang Feng.”
“Introduced?”
Chi Ya recounted everything that happened at Money Cabinet, defensively and with a sense of guilt, “I had no idea things would turn out this way. I originally wanted to introduce her to Young Master Wang. If she could marry into the Wang family, it would also benefit our company. Even if she didn’t have the means to get through the doors of the Wang family, at least by getting involved with Wang Feng, she could gain some advantage for our family. Who knew that little bitch wouldn’t appreciate the opportunity and ended up offending Young Master Wang! She even had her sponsor beat up Young Master Wang!”
The more Chi Ya spoke, the angrier she became, “What’s wrong with Young Master Wang? He is Mayor Wang’s precious son after all, so what is she worth?! She’s been freeloading in our home for more than twenty years—was it that difficult for her to do something for the family’s sake? All she ever does is complain that we don’t treat her like family. If she really thought of us as family, she should have made Young Master Wang happy!”
Gu Qiaomei had never expected Chi Ya to have done so much behind her back, and her face turned an angry shade of blue. Had it not been for the fact that Chi Ya was her own daughter, she would have slapped her right then! Struggling to contain her rage, she interrupted Chi Ya, “That’s enough!”
“Mom?” Chi Ya still didn’t realize what she had done wrong and looked at her mother with a sense of grievance.
Gu Qiaomei didn’t even look at her, just coldly warned, “Don’t mention this incident to anyone, understood? No matter who asks, your presence at Money Cabinet that day was a coincidence!”
“Of course I know…”
Gu Qiaomei continued, “And another thing, I’ve told you before to be nice to
Chi Enen in front of your dad. What have you done?”
“I don’t want to hear your explanations, Ya Ya. Remember this, do not ever mention Chi Enen’s background in front of your dad again, and certainly no more calling her names like Tittle bitch,’ or ‘bastard!'”
If Chi Enen is a bastard, what does that make Chi Jianguo?
Such a simple question, and yet she couldn’t understand!
Gu Qiaomei suppressed her anger, seeing her daughter’s pitiful look and relenting slightly, softening her voice, “Let’s leave it this time. Don’t pick on Chi Enen anymore, do you understand?”
Chi Enen was nothing but a wild weed, while her Xiao Ya was the rightful young lady of the Chi family. Why should she stoop to quarrel with a mere weed?
Tears fell from Chi Ya’s eyes as she clenched her fists tightly, concealing the resentment in her eyes and reluctantly said, “I understand.”
