The Chi family’s old residence was located in the northern district of the city. Chi Mingwei drove for about half an hour before reaching the entrance of the old residence.
“Jiaojiao, there’s something I want to talk to you about.” Chi Mingwei didn’t immediately open the car door and get out. Instead, he seemed to have finally made up his mind as he spoke to her in a low voice.
Chi Jiao sat obediently in the passenger seat. She turned her face to her dad and asked with a smile, “What’s the matter, Daddy?”
“Did your god grandfather ever mention to you that you had an arranged marriage when you were young?” Chi Mingwei asked after a slight hesitation.
At the mention of this, whirlpool-like darkness flashed past Chi Jiao’s eyes for a fleeting moment.
However, the smile on her face didn’t diminish. Chi Jiao nodded gently and said in a sweet and soft voice, “God grandfather mentioned it by chance. But Jiaojiao is still young. I don’t want to consider marriage right now. I just want to stay by Daddy’s side.”
How could she forget that person?
He was also someone she had recorded in her notebook.
Chi Mingwei was moved to tears.
His little Jiaojiao was really an angel!
“Ahem! Jiaojiao, do you know who you are betrothed to?” Chi Mingwei asked again.
Chi Jiao tilted her head and tried hard to recall before answering, “Isn’t he the eldest young master of the Lan family? I think his name is Lan Yunhan, right?”
“Yes, Lan Yunhan is three years older than you. He’s now…” Initially, Chi Mingwei had mentally prepared himself to be truthful to Chi Jiao, but he lost the courage to continue when he saw how he was being looked at by her clear doe eyes.
Chi Jiao knew why Chi Mingwei found it hard to speak.
It was because Lan Yunhan was Chi Yan’s boyfriend now. The two of them were often together and had a good relationship.
The Lan family owned a private hospital, and Chi Yan happened to be a rising star in the medical field. The two of them made a talented and good-looking couple and were thus a talking point in White City.
The most ridiculous thing was that everyone knew that she and Lan Yunhan were in an arranged marriage.
However, because she grew up in the mountains, everyone thought that she wasn’t worthy of Lan Yunhan at all. They believed that the love between Lan Yunhan and Chi Yan was true love. They were a match made in heaven, while Chi Jiao was an unnecessary character.
In her previous life, Chi Jiao didn’t like Lan Yunhan either.
But even if she didn’t like him, Chi Yan had gotten together with him in a high-profile manner before she had broken off the engagement with him. She had completely disregarded Chi Jiao.
In her previous life, Chi Jiao was proud and arrogant. She couldn’t allow Chi Yan to do that. Moreover, Chi Yan had snatched her father and grandfather away. Therefore, her hatred for Chi Yan deepened day by day.
Later, under her cousin’s instigation, she began to take revenge on Chi Yan.
It was also because she was so focused on taking revenge that she overlooked her cousin. In the end, after Chi Yan and Chi Jiao both suffered from their battle against one another, it was her biological cousin who forced her into desperate straits. Not only did she snatch away all the hard work she had put into her research over the years, she even buried her alive.
After Chi Jiao was reborn, she calmly analyzed everything she had experienced in her previous life and came to a conclusion.
Since she was young, her IQ had been outstanding. Her god grandfather and senior brothers and sisters doted on her and protected her extremely well. As a result, she lacked the viciousness of society and had never seen the evilness of the human heart. That was why she was so easily manipulated by others and used as a tool. After offending the people who loved her the most, she died miserably.
Don’t despise her for being stupid in her previous life, because she despised herself as well.
