The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Zhu Limin stared at Chi Mingwei with widened eyes as if she had never known him.
Her heart sank gradually.
Ever since Chi Jiao came back, Zhu Limin could tell from Chi Mingwei’s attitude towards her that he doted on Chi Jiao very much.
But she didn’t expect him to dote on Chi Jiao to such an extent.
If this continued, would there still be a way for her and her children to live?
“Hubby, how can you treat me like this?” Zhu Limin’s eyes turned red instantly as she looked at Chi Mingwei with a look of grievance.
She had been with him for so many years. How could she not know his temper?
He had a typical temper that was amenable to coaxing but not coercion.
In the past, whenever she made a mistake and showed a pitiful and aggrieved expression, his heart would soften.
Chi Mingwei stood up and walked to her. He reached out to her.
Zhu Limin thought that he was going to hit her, and her heart skipped a beat. However, she saw that Chi Mingwei had placed a hand on her shoulder.
“Zhu Limin, have you forgotten why I married you in the first place?” Chi Mingwei asked in a gloomy tone as he stared intently at her.
Only then did Zhu Limin realize that Chi Mingwei was really angry this time.
She was actually a little afraid of him deep inside.
Since Chi Mingwei was able to take over the Chi family and inherit the company, his methods and means were naturally not to be trifled with.
He was also very scary when he got furious.
“I, I didn’t forget…” Zhu Limin remembered very clearly that when Chi Mingwei proposed to her, he had told her very clearly that he had a daughter. He wished to give his daughter a complete family, and he hoped that she would treat his daughter as her biological daughter.
In short, it was to find a mother for his precious daughter.
She originally thought that Yanyan could replace Chi Jiao’s position, but she realized now that she had been wrong.
That girl had clearly grown up in the mountains and had never stayed by Chi Mingwei’s side. She really couldn’t understand why Chi Mingwei loved that country bumpkin so much.
“It’s good that you didn’t forget.” A cold smile appeared on Chi Mingwei’s originally refined and elegant face. “If you genuinely dislike Jiaojiao, that’s fine too. We’ll get a divorce.”
“What did you say?!” Zhu Limin was like a dog whose tail had been stepped on. She instantly exploded and shouted at him with a twisted expression, “You actually want to divorce me?!”
Chi Mingwei looked at her indifferently. “Do you really think I can’t see through your petty tricks? Zhu Limin, you’ve been stuffing your family members into my company. I won’t say what they have done, but Jiaojiao is my baseline. Do you understand?”
Zhu Limin instantly felt as if she had been thrown into an icehouse.
He… actually knew?
Just as the atmosphere was stretched taut, a soft voice was suddenly heard in the living room.
“Daddy?” Chi Jiao stood at the entrance and looked at them in confusion.
Chi Mingwei immediately let go of his tight hold on Zhu Limin’s hand. When he turned to look at Chi Jiao, his gloomy expression was completely gone. Instead, it was replaced with a fatherly smile.
“Jiaojiao, you’re back,” Chi Mingwei said as he walked towards her.
Standing behind Chi Mingwei, Zhu Limin looked at his back with heavy emotions swimming in the depths of her eyes.
Chi Jiao looked at Zhu Limin before looking at her father.
Were they fighting just now?
With that thought in mind, Chi Jiao smiled. “Dad, I have something I want to talk to you about.”
“Then, shall we head upstairs and talk in the study?” Chi Mingwei looked at his daughter’s petite face flushed red from the cold and found her extremely adorable. He couldn’t help but reach out to caress the top of her head.
