In their previous life, Zhong Kuijun had supported Zhong Qianqian all the way. In this life, however, Zhong Kuijun doted on Zhong Nuannuan more because of Chi Yang.
That was why her father was the best weapon against people who could not be hit or killed like Jiang Shuwan and Zhong Qianqian.
“Why are you asking your father? Don’t think that just because your father loves you that you can get away with breaking the law.”
“Shut up! Stop talking.”
Jiang Shuwan shut her mouth after Zhong Kuijun berated her.
Zhong Qianqian was shocked and felt guilty, so she did not say anything.
“Qianqian, why are you in Nuannuan’s room? I remember Nuannuan saying that she doesn’t like anyone in her room. Even Aunty Zhao does not come to clean Nuannuan’s room. Tell me, why are you in Nuannuan’s room?”
“What’s wrong with that? They’re sisters…”
Jiang Shuwan wanted to argue on behalf of Zhong Qianqian, but Zhong Kuijun glared at her. Jiang Shuwan could only shrink her neck and stopped herself from saying anything more.
“Qianqian, tell dad. Why are you in Nuannuan’s room?”
“I-I just wanted to tell Nuannuan to go get her makeup done. Isn’t she the star of today’s banquet?”
Jiang Shuwan wanted to add on to what her daughter had said, but Zhong Kuijun’s face darkened.
“Do you think I’m that gullible?”
“Dad, I’m not…”
“Before you lie, you should think about whether your excuse is good enough to fool your father. If I find the evidence of you lying, you won’t need to attend the banquet tonight.”
Zhong Qianqian’s face turned pale.
“Old man Zhong, Qianqian is Aiden’s partner for tonight. How can you…”
“Jiang Shuwan!”
Zhong Kuijun glared at her. Jiang Shuwan quickly said, “Alright, I’ll stop talking. I won’t say anything, okay?”
Zhong Kuijun looked at Zhong Qianqian. “Tell me.”
Zhong Qianqian bit her lip. Tears started streaming down her cheeks. She looked very pitiful in her current state. However, she did not dare to say anything.
“Why are you not talking?” Zhong Kuijun’s face was getting scarier by the minute.
“Dad, let me tell you. I was doing stretches downstairs when I saw Qianqian on the second floor… Aunty Zhao, what are you doing? If you dare to get the key from the door, I’ll call the police and send you to the station on the basis that you stole something.”
Zhong Kuijun turned around immediately. He spotted Aunty Zhao who was about to get the key from the door. Her hands were trembling and her face was pale. She shouted angrily, “What did I steal? I’m as straight as an arrow. Why are you framing me?”
“Shut up!”
After being berated by Zhong Kuijun, Aunty Zhao could only scoff and shut her mouth.
“I’ll continue then. Not only did I saw Qianqian on the second floor, but I also saw Aunty Zhao acting suspicious next to Qianqian. It’s obvious that they were up to no good.”
“Nonsense! I… Ah!”
Aunty Zhao was about to defend herself when something flew in her direction and hit her. Even though the object was not big, it still hurt when it made contact with her body.
Zhong Kuijun had taken a comb from Zhong Nuannuan’s dresser and threw it at Aunty Zhao.
Aunty Zhao felt wronged. She was really being framed by Zhong Nuannuan.
She had only been guarding the stairs for Zhong Qianqian. She did not know what Zhong Qianqian was up to. How could Zhong Nuannuan accuse her of stealing?
How dare she slander her? This was so infuriating!
