Chu Xi sat impatiently in front of the dressing table, holding her phone, "Didn’t I tell you, they almost implicated , I had no choice."
"Xixi, how can you talk like that, he’s your father..." the other person was quite confused.
She opened the drawer and took out an expensive pearl necklace. The pearls on the necklace were all the size of steel balls, round and uniform, each one worth a lot individually. Such valuable pearls were strung together into a necklace, showcasing its incredible value.
The Chu family probably had many such treasures. Her fingernails brushed the cool pearls as she lowered her eyelids and said softly, "Step-mom, you must understand my difficulties. I just moved into the Chu Garden, and Mrs. Jiang and the others haven’t fully accepted . I didn’t know Dad would act so impulsively this ti, not even discussing with , hiring soone to kidnap Rong Yan, and got caught. The Li Family is very angry, and they called Mrs. Jiang directly. I spoke for Dad, but Mrs. Jiang refused to listen. I’m really helpless..."
Emira indeed didn’t suspect a thing, murmuring worriedly, "The Chu family ans they won’t stand up for him, how could this be... Although your dad acted recklessly, doesn’t the madam also dislike that Rong Yan?"
ntioning this made Chu Xi more upset, sulking impatiently, "I don’t know either."
She no longer had the mood to play with the pearl necklace, tossing the pearls in her hand aside and said, "I’ll try my best to think of a way for Dad. I just returned to the country, unfamiliar with everything, and most of my connections are given by the Chu family. If Mrs. Jiang refuses to help, my ability is very limited. You should try to find any friends around Dad to see if they can help get him out first."
Emira felt uncertain, "I’ll try, but I don’t know if it’ll work."
"Give it a try. Step-mom, I have things to do here, so I won’t talk to you for now." She had long since wanted to stop wasting ti with Emira and seized the opportunity to say so imdiately.
"...Alright." Although Emira was anxious and even if she couldn’t help, she wanted to talk to her, but since Chu Xi said so, she was too embarrassed to continue bothering her, "Take good care of yourself in the Chu Garden."
Chu Xi replied nonchalantly with a "hmm," took down her phone, and ended the call.
She irritably tossed the phone onto the dressing table, looking at her delicate face in the mirror. Her features weren’t perfectly beautiful, but they were good enough, more importantly, her contours indeed sowhat resembled Jiang Chenyue’s.
Her background, the red mole on her arm, and this face coincidentally matched the missing Miss Chu of the Chu family. Why would Jiang Chenyue prefer to tell the people in Chu Garden that she recognized her as a foster daughter rather than announcing she’s the ’real daughter of the Chu family’...
Chu Xi thought of Rong Yan again.
And also Jiang Chenyue’s strange attitude towards Rong Yan.
Jiang Chenyue definitely didn’t have the supposed dislike towards Rong Yan.
She beca even more agitated, her fingers digging into the pearl necklace, knuckles protruding, her expression gradually turned hideous, "Useless! Didn’t kill her and now got himself into trouble, leaving to figure out a solution."
If only he had just run Rong Yan down at once.
Why didn’t he run her down?
...
On the way back, the car was silent. Rong Yan glanced furtively several tis at the man beside her, only to see his stern expression, seemingly unwilling to talk to her, lips tightly pressed, saying nothing.
She had sneaked a few glances, but the last ti she got caught, eting those deep eyes looking at her—
