Chi family.
Aunt Liu was on her way to throw out the trash.
As she opened the door, she saw Chi Enen at the doorway, hesitating. Surprised, she dropped the trash and hurriedly approached, “Young lady?”
“Aunt Liu…” Chi Enen hadn’t expected soone to co out at this ti and stared wide-eyed in astonishnt.
Aunt Liu made a sound of realization, her eyes reddening, “It’s , it’s . Young lady, you’ve returned to the country? When did you co back? Why didn’t you say anything?”
“I haven’t been back for long.” She thought about the purpose of her visit today and bit her lower lip before asking, “Aunt Liu, is Dad at ho?”
“President Chi is at ho.” Aunt Liu paused, then added, “Madam and the second young lady are also at ho.”
Gu Qiaoi and Chi Ya are also at ho?
Chi Enen pursed her lips and walked inside, “1 have sothing to discuss with Dad, 1’11 go in first.”
“Okay.” Aunt Liu was overjoyed, watching her with fondness and laughing as she went back to pick up the trash, saying, “I’m going to the market, young lady, stay at ho for lunch, won’t you? I’ll make your favorite beer duck.”
Chi Enen hadn’t finished speaking when she was interrupted by Aunt Liu’s cheerful assertion, “Let’s settle it then, young lady, you go inside first. Weren’t you looking for President Chi? I’ll take out the trash and head to the market after.”
Having said that, she left excitedly.
Chi Enen called out to her several tis, but she didn’t hear.
Seeing her walk away, Chi Enen had no choice but to go inside.
The Chi family was in the Villa District, where each household possessed a freestanding villa with its own courtyard. It was early spring, and the courtyard’s begonia flowers were blooming in full splendor, making the villa resemble a castle from a fairy-tale.
But Chi Enen knew that this castle had never had anything to do with her.
She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and walked in.
After five years of absence, the decor of the living room was exactly the sa as when she left, luxurious and noble. A woman elegantly dressed in fashionable clothes was reading a book on the sofa. Upon seeing her enter, the woman’s delicate eyebrows and eyes sank abruptly, undisguised disgust in her eyes.
Chi Enen approached her and politely called out, “Aunt i.”
The maiden’s voice was crisp and graceful, yet it made Gu Qiaoi’s brows jump fiercely!
No wife would like her husband’s illegitimate daughter, and she was no exception. However, having chosen to forgive her husband back then, she had to play the role of a virtuous and generous stepmother.
Gu Qiaoi suppressed her revulsion and asked coldly, “Why have you co back?”
Hadn’t she gone abroad? Why had she run back here?
Chi Enen knew that Gu Qiaoi disliked her, and she understood that this dislike was unlikely to change. She didn’t plan on deliberately trying to ingratiate herself with Gu Qiaoi. Standing there, she said calmly, “I have sothing to discuss with Dad, and I’ll leave after that.”
Gu Qiaoi’s expression softened slightly as she lifted her eyelids, glancing upstairs, “Your Dad is on the second floor.”
“Thank you, Aunt i.” Chi Enen breathed a sigh of relief and headed upstairs.
Just as she reached the study room doorstep, ready to knock, she heard Chi Ya’s coquettish voice coming from inside.
“Dad, I want to be with Brother Chengyan.”
Chengyan…
Chi Enen involuntarily stopped in her tracks, the gentle-faced man’s profile flashed through her mind, and she felt an inexplicable pang of heartache.
“Su Chengyan?” An authoritative male voice rang out, heavy with displeasure, “Impossible! Su Chengyan is your older sister’s fiance.”
It seed Chi Ya was not pleased, retorting, “What fiance? That was just sothing Uncle and Aunt joked about when we were kids, how can you take it seriously, Dad?”
“Dad, let be with Brother Chengyan, please-“
