“If I knew you were like this, I would have left and let you fend for yourself in the orphanage that time.” Chi Mingwei felt that the biggest mistake he had made was bringing Quan Jue to the Chi family.

“Do you really think I have no idea who caused me to become an orphan?” Quan Jue’s lips curled into a cold smile.

However, his gentle tone was like a thunderclap exploding in Chi Mingwei’s ears, causing him to panic instantly.

“W-when did you find out?” Chi Mingwei’s voice was clearly a little unsteady.

“You’ll have to pay back what you owe me sooner or later.” Quan Jue did not answer him.
Instead, he turned around and left after saying that.

This time, Chi Mingwei didn’t have the courage to call out Quan Jue’s name again.
He was still in a state of shock and could not recover from it.

He had always thought that Quan Jue did not know about that matter.

But judging from what happened earlier, Quan Jue had probably known about it long ago.

Was that why he was so hostile to the Chi family?

After Chi Jiao woke up, the person sitting in front of her had become Chi Mingwei.

“Dad?” She blinked in confusion, her sweet voice sounding a little hoarse.

“Jiaojiao, how are you feeling now? Do you need to take leave to go to the hospital?” Chi Mingwei asked with a loving smile.

Chi Jiao didn’t understand why Quan Jue was nowhere to be seen when she woke up after accidentally falling asleep.
Instead, the person she saw was her father.

“I don’t need to, Daddy.
Where’s Brother Quan?” Chi Jiao asked.

When Chi Mingwei saw her asking for Quan Jue the moment she woke up, the smile on his face almost collapsed.

“He went back to class.
It’s already five in the afternoon.” Chi Mingwei concealed the awkwardness in his eyes.

Chi Jiao was stunned.

Had she slept for that long?!

“I’ve already asked your teacher for the rest of the day off.
We can go home now.” Chi Mingwei felt that he had to spend more time with Jiaojiao and make her pay less attention to Quan Jue.
“Daddy will have dinner with you tonight, okay?”

Chi Jiao agreed weakly.

Zhu Limin was rather surprised to see Chi Mingwei and Chi Jiao returning home together.

Chi Mingwei explained to Zhu Limin the reason why they came back together, and she hurriedly asked Chi Jiao about her well-being before instructing the chef at home to make the dishes lighter tonight.

When Chi Jiao went back to her room, Zhu Limin smiled at Chi Mingwei and said, “Yanyan won’t be home for dinner tonight, and Little Ze is doing his homework.”

“Where did Yanyan go?” Chi Mingwei asked indifferently.

Because of the forum thread incident, he still had an ill feeling against Chi Yan.
Therefore, when he mentioned Chi Yan, his attitude was not as enthusiastic as before.

“Today is the mayor’s wife’s birthday.
The mayor took this opportunity to hold a charity banquet.
Yanyan has a good relationship with the mayor’s daughter, so she received an invitation,” Zhu Limin said with a smile.

Chi Mingwei nodded faintly.

When Zhu Limin saw that his expression remained indifferent, a dark glint flashed across her eyes.

“Initially, Yanyan wanted to bring Jiaojiao to see the world, but now that the relationship between the two sisters is tense, so…” Zhu Limin added.

“Jiaojiao doesn’t like crowded places, and she doesn’t need that many connections,” Chi Mingwei said.

Zhu Limin almost couldn’t keep the smile on her face.
She felt that Chi Mingwei was dissing her deliberately, but she had no evidence.

After Chi Jiao returned to her room, she took out the medicine to nurse her stomach and swallowed it.

Her phone suddenly vibrated.
When Chi Jiao saw that it was an unknown number, she answered the call indifferently.

“Hello, Miss Chi.
This is Jian Shan.”
