“Dad?”
The person sitting in the Black Sedan parked by the side of the road was none other than Chi Jianguo, right?
Chi Jianguo was already over forty, but superior living conditions had slowed his aging process, making him look more like a man in his thirties. One could faintly discern how handsome he must have been in his youth. Although time had left its mark at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, it had also settled into a mature charm that young heartthrobs lacked.
He was dressed in a Neat Dark Suit, and upon seeing Chi Enen, a flash of anger crossed his thickly browed eyes. But he quickly suppressed it and said emotionlessly, “Get in the car.”
Chi Enen didn’t know what had happened, nor why he had come to Zijing Garden, but obediently she opened the car door and got in.
The drive was silent.
The car entered the gates of Chi Villa.
Chi Jianguo got out first, not even glancing at her, and went inside.
Chi Enen clenched her lower lip and followed him in.
Today, the Villa was exceptionally lively. Besides Gu Qiaomei and Chi Ya, Su Chengyan and Aunt from the Su family were unexpectedly present. When she entered, Chi Ya was fluttering around the Aunt from the Su family like butterflies, occasionally provoking bursts of laughter in the Living room.
“I’m back.”
At Chi Jianguo’s announcement of his return, everyone in the Villa turned to look. When they saw Chi Enen following behind, the atmosphere immediately quieted down.
Chi Enen was already used to this sense of not belonging, so she stood calmly three steps away from everyone else and looked towards Chi Jianguo, asking, “Dad, what is it you’ve called me back for?”
Chi Jianguo sat down on the Sofa without acknowledging her. He had Aunt Liu pour him a cup of Tea and after taking a sip, he finally looked up. “Enen, is there something you’re hiding from me?”
What did he mean by that? Chi Enen was stunned for a moment before she denied, “No, not at all.”
“Tch, Dad, even if older sister had something, she wouldn’t tell you. She’s been independent for a long time now, so why would she take your words to heart? I’m afraid that in older sister’s mind, we don’t even count as family,” Chi Ya said with a mix of scorn and mockery.
Gu Qiaomei sharply rebuked, “Xiao Ya!”
Chi Ya, disdainfully curling her lip, turned her Face to act coquettishly with the man next to her. But she noticed that Su Chengyan was staring intensely ahead.
Following Su Chengyan’s gaze, she inevitably saw Chi Enen standing there.
Jealous, she bit her lower lip hard, her hands clenching into fists at her sides as she said resentfully, “I’m not wrong. Otherwise, why wouldn’t older sister mention Young Master Wang?”
Young Master Wang…
Chi Enen’s eyebrows furrowed in sensitivity.
Then she heard Gu Qiaomei advocate in a dignified and graceful manner, “Enen, it was Mayor Wang who found your father, asking for news about you. He said that you and Young Master Wang have already met privately. Young Master Wang likes you a lot, and you seem interested in him as well, so he wants both families to be joined by marriage. When you have time, meet with Young Master Wang first. Your father isn’t trying to force you, he just wants to hear your opinion.”
Chi Enen finally realized who they were referring to as Young Master Wang—it was the man in the private room who had grabbed her and attempted to force himself on her!
Ha, they actually wanted to introduce her to Wang Feng, and even wanted her to marry Wang Feng?
Chi Enen’s bright eyes chilled over as she swept her gaze across everyone on the Sofa, landing on Chi Jianguo. Defiantly pursing the Corner of her mouth, she asked him, “Dad, do you also believe Young Master Wang likes me a lot? And that I’m interested in him?”
Chi Jianguo’s eyebrows twisted abruptly, a wave of irritation rising in his heart.
He hadn’t thought about whether to believe it or not. All he knew was that recently Mayor Wang had been causing frequent trouble for the company. Several completed deals had been sabotaged by his interference. If it hadn’t been for the fact that Mayor Wang had his own basket full of problems, the company would have been in trouble long ago.
