“How could you make a mistake in such an important matter?!” This was the first time Sun Qiulan looked at Chi Yan with utter disappointment.
“It’s fortunate that Jiaojiao was here today.” Chi Mingwei frowned as he looked at Chi Yan. “Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Aren’t you going to apologize to your sister? You were still suspecting her earlier.”
Although Chi Yan was willing to apologize to Sun Qiulan and Chi Mingwei, she had never thought of apologizing to Chi Jiao.
She stood there unmoving, her expression ugly.
She really couldn’t understand how things had turned out like this! The one who was delighted now had become Chi Jiao, while she was thrown into trouble!
Chi Jiao just looked at her quietly with a faint smile on her lips.
“What are you still standing there for?” Chi Mingwei’s tone turned colder when he saw that Chi Yan was motionless.
Chi Yan resisted the humiliation and looked deeply at Chi Jiao. She forced out a sentence through gritted teeth. “Jiaojiao, I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you.”
This was the first time she had experienced the feeling of being forced to apologize.
It was utterly humiliating.
She would never forget this burning sensation in her entire life.
Chi Jiao only nodded apathetically without saying a word.
This caused Chi Yan to feel like she had been slapped soundlessly. She felt even more humiliated.
“Where’s your mom?” Only at this moment did Chi Mingwei realize he hadn’t seen Zhu Limin. His expression turned even darker.
After such a huge incident, as his daughter-in-law, Zhu Limin didn’t come back to visit the Old Master?
When Chi Yan thought of what Zhu Limin was doing at that moment, an unnatural look flashed across her eyes. She lowered her gaze and whispered, “Mom said that our maternal grandma isn’t feeling well. She went to visit her.”
Chi Mingwei’s brows furrowed. Such a coincidence?
Chi Jiao glanced at her and coincidentally caught her unnatural expression.
Chi Yan was lying.
Zhu Limin must be doing something shameful right now. Otherwise, Chi Yan wouldn’t have had to hide it for her.
This pair of mother and daughter couldn’t stay in the Chi family anymore.
At this thought, a dark glint flashed across her clear eyes.
Chi Mingwei immediately took out his phone and called Zhu Limin.
However, no one picked up.
Seeming to sense something, his frown deepened.
Coincidentally, at that moment, Doctor Yuan pushed the door open and came out of the room. Sun Qiulan immediately went to him. “Doctor Yuan, how’s my old man?”
“Mr. Chi’s condition is great now. I haven’t seen him in such a good state in a long time,” Doctor Yuan said as he looked at Chi Jiao in disbelief.
This girl looked at most seventeen or eighteen years old. How could she be so impressive?
Sun Qiulan heaved a long sigh of relief and hurried into the room to see Old Master Chi.
Chi Jiao went into the room as well. She had to make arrangements for her grandfather to use the herbs and tea bags she had given him.
“Go find your mom and get her to wait for me at home,” Chi Mingwei said to Chi Yan.
Chi Yan nodded silently.
In a private room in a north shore franchise hotel.
The clothes of a man and a woman were scattered all over the floor.
Zhu Limin sat up from the bed and took the cigarette from the man. She expertly placed it between her lips and took a puff.
“Chi Mingwei called you earlier. If you don’t answer, will he suspect you?” the man asked as he walked to her after getting dressed.
Zhu Limin nodded nonchalantly. “He would never suspect anything like that. At most, he would suspect that I went to play mahjong again.”
Chi Mingwei had never liked her playing mahjong as he felt that gambling was a bad habit.
