Chapter 401: Chi Enen Learns the Truth
For the first time, Li Beijue felt a reluctance to face her, fearing he would see through her feigned cooperation and be unable to contain his anger, and fearing he might lose control and hurt her.
He abruptly pulled away and straightened up, hastily saying, “You rest for a while; I’ll go and call the doctor for you.”
“Li…” Chi Enen sensed something was off with him, and just as she tried to call out to him, Li Beijue had already taken quick strides out of the room with his long legs.
He had just left a few minutes when Huo Yi entered the ward, holding a mobile phone.
Seeing that Chi Enen was awake, he was over the moon, “Miss Chi, you’re awake?”
“Yes, I just woke up,” Chi Enen replied with a smile on her face.
“Where’s Master Jue? Why isn’t he here?” Huo Yi asked joyfully as he approached her.
“He said he was going to call the doctor,” Chi Enen tilted her head, “Does Butler Huo need him for something?”
“It’s this…” He wasn’t sure if he should say it.
Right at this moment, the phone in his hand buzzed again.
Chi Enen, with sharp eyes, caught sight of Lin Meiqi’s name on the incoming calls display on the phone.
Chi Enen paused and then looked up, “Butler Huo, whose phone is this?”
“The phone belongs to Chi Ya.”
Why would her aunt call Chi Ya?
Chi Enen furrowed her eyebrows, involuntarily thinking of the time Chi Ya and her aunt had conspired to sell her to the son of the Mayor’s family. Her gaze darkened, and she reached out her hand, “Butler Huo, may I answer this call please?”
Huo Yi pondered for a moment before handing the phone to her.
Chi Enen answered the call in the final second before it was about to disconnect.
Before she could say a word, a tirade came from the other end, “Chi Ya, you finally decided to answer the phone! When are you going to give me the one million you promised? It’s been four days already. Don’t tell me you still haven’t planned to pay me. If you keep dragging this out, I will spill it! Then everyone will know the true faces of President Chi and Madam President Chi, and you will be known as the daughter of a murderer!”
“…” What does this mean?
Chi Enen vaguely felt that something was amiss.
On the other end, Lin Meiqi, not hearing ‘Chi Ya’ respond, became frustrated and threatened, “Chi Ya, you think I wouldn’t dare to tell, right? I’ll contact the media right now and tell them that your parents conspired with the doctor to murder my older sister!”
Chi Enen’s face turned deathly pale, and her hand slipped, causing the phone to fall to the ground and shatter.
Seeing her pale complexion, Huo Yi was startled and quickly rushed to her sickbed, asking, “Miss Chi, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
Chi Enen’s mind went blank, deaf to everything around her.
All she could think about was what Lin Meiqi had said.
Her mother had died in childbirth because Jianguo had bribed the doctor to murder her?!
Chi Enen clenched the bedsheet beneath her, her teeth chattering, as her eyes rapidly reddened, covering her mouth as if to calm herself enough to digest the news.
And right at that moment, a black-clothed bodyguard hurried in, whispering something into Huo Yi’s ear. Huo Yi reluctantly motioned for him to leave and hesitated before saying to Chi Enen, “Miss Chi, President Chi of Chi Corporation wishes to see you. Do you want to see him?”
Before this call, Chi Enen would have definitely refused to see Chi Jianguo. But now, after the shock, a fierce anger that couldn’t be quenched surged within her. She wanted to ask what kind of man could be so cruel, so horrifying? Gritting her teeth, she said, “Yes!”
