Chapter 22

Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Ji Tongtong said she had not seen anything, after living with Chuzheng for so long, her gut feeling would not be wrong. It was Chuzheng.

Chuzheng had a cold face of denial.

It was not her.

She had not done anything.

They had to bring out the evidence.

If there was no evidence, it would be slander.

“Big sister, why must you do this to me…”

“It’s not me.” Chuzheng boldly denied it.

Ji Tongtong’s eyes turned red. “It’s you… Dad, it’s big sister! She did this to me… How can I face others now? Dad, you have to help me!”

Yang Qianqian was her friend. Usually, they held hands, shopped together, and even slept on the same bed.

But…

Once she thought about her encounter earlier, Ji Tongtong felt disgusted and cried even louder, losing control of her emotions.

“Old Ji, you have to investigate this matter properly!” Stepmother held Ji Tongtong. Today, so many people had seen it and with the Meng family… They had even settled the marriage between the two families yet how could such a thing happen?

Stepmother’s heart had a surge of hatred while thinking about it.

If this incident was done by Ji Chuzheng, she would definitely not let her off!

Father Ji was speechless.

He looked at his cold-hearted daughter who stood outside the door and was at a loss for words.

In the end, Father Ji made stepmother bring Ji Tongtong back to her room.

As for Yang Qianqian… Yang Qianqian wanted to harm Chuzheng and she prepared the set-up, but she had no idea as to how Chuzheng found out about it.

She only knew she was dragged into the room by Chuzheng and a half-filled glass of wine was forcefully chugged down her throat.

She definitely could not say this as she would be the one in trouble in the end.

Yang Qianqian could only grit her teeth and feigned ignorance before father Ji let the Yang family send Yang Qianqian home.

However, after this incident, how could the Yang family leave the matter at that.

After father Ji bid goodbye to the Yang family, a sharp pain lanced through his head and colorful spots filled his vision.

Buzz…

The vibration of his cellphone became even more sudden in the quiet atmosphere.

“President Ji, we have investigated that…”

As the person on the call continued to speak, Father Ji’s already terrible expression became gloomier.

Stepmother made a ruckus and wanted Father Ji to investigate the truth. How could her daughter face their relatives and friends after suffering such a great grievance?

Now, everyone within their circle of friends probably knew that her daughter was a lesbian and even did that thing at her birthday party…

Moreover, the Yang family would not leave this matter to rest.

On the other hand, Chuzheng was completely unaffected by it and continued to go to school.

The drug was brought by Yang Qianqian. Even if she was careful, she was still a student and would definitely leave traces.

Father Ji investigated and showed the evidence to the Yang family which made them speechless immediately.

As for how Yang Qianqian fell into the trap, she would have to ask herself and the Ji family would not be responsible.

“Old Ji, are you not going to care for Tongtong who suffered such a great grievance? Tongtong said… Chuzheng did it. I know Chuzheng is your daughter so I’ve always treated her as my own daughter and never mistreated her, but why must she harm my Tongtong?”

Father Ji was questioned by the stepmother.

Father Ji smoothed his brows. “You have to ask Tongtong properly regarding this and stop accusing Chuzheng.”

“Old Ji, what do you mean? Tongtong was wronged yet you still want to question her?” The stepmother could not take that accusation lying down.

Father Ji had not wanted to suspect Ji Tongtong, but as he thought about the incident which he ordered others to investigate, the result was… Ji Tongtong had something to do with it.

Ji Tongtong had not done it herself, but she gave the money personally.

Even if a normal person could not investigate the truth, could he not?

Ji Tongtong bribed a person to rape his own daughter, but was this something the Ji Tongtong whom he knew, would be able to do?

Over these past few days, Father Ji had been suppressing his anger and thought that there was a misunderstanding.

He made someone investigate again.

But no matter how many times he investigated, the end result was the same.

That matter was closely linked to Ji Tongtong.

Regarding the incident during the birthday party, the drug was brought in by Yang Qianqian, but she could not be using it for herself.

Since it was not for herself, who was it for?

No matter who it was for, Yang Qianqian brought it upon herself.

As for Ji Tongtong…

“Old Ji, say something? You have to bring justice to Tongtong. If not, how can she face others in the future? Do you know what others are saying about Tongtong?”

“Enough!” Father Ji gave a deep scoff.

He wanted to continue his words,but suppressed it before pushing away the stepmother and left swiftly.

“Old Ji!”

“Old Ji, stop there!”

“What do you mean!”

The stepmother continued to shout.

But Father Ji did not look back and left.

The stepmother puffed in anger. As she turned around, she met Chuzheng’s cold gaze.

“It was you…” The stepmother pointed at Chuzheng as rage appeared in her eyes. “You did this to my Tongtong.”

Chuzheng carried her bag and proceeded down the stairs. “Do you have proof?”

“Tongtong saw you!” She believed Tongtong would not lie to her and Chuzheng definitely did it.

She had also asked Tongtong if Yang Qianqian wanted to trick Ji Chuzheng, why had Tongtong and Yang Qianqian fallen into the trap?

“Ji Chuzheng, you little wretch! How dare you harm Tongtong! I knew you weren’t anything good!” The stepmother got even more agitated and rushed forward before lifting her hand as she wanted to hit Chuzheng.

Chuzheng used the railings as support and leaped over before pushing the stepmother from the back.

The stepmother was already using a lot of strength thus when she was pushed by Chuzheng, she fell straight down the steps.

“Ji Chuzheng!”

“You’re too noisy.” If only she could get rid of her, that would save her the trouble. A pity!

Chuzheng indifferently carried her school bag and left.

When the stepmother got up, Chuzheng was nowhere to be seen.

Father Ji seemed to be investigating the stepmother and disappeared for quite a few days. The stepmother and Ji Tongtong were clearly uneasy, but could not inquire about Father Ji’s whereabouts.

Chuzheng found the stepmother and Ji Tongtong noisy and had not come back either.

Today, she had to take some things and came back to the house after school. She came across the scene where the stepmother was arguing with Father Ji, but she had no idea what they were arguing over. Just as she entered the house, they began to talk about a divorce.

The stepmother had an agitated reaction and was adamant to not agree to the divorce.

Father Ji threw a stack of photos to her and the stepmother’s face paled immediately.

Chuzheng ignored them and proceeded upstairs.

After half an hour, Father Ji knocked on her room’s door.

Father Ji looked haggard and his face was filled with apology. “Chuzheng, daddy has neglected you in the past and wanted to find a person to take care of you, but I didn’t know it made you suffer even more.”

It was all because that woman and Ji Tongtong acted too well.

Ji Chuzheng was rebellious as well, hence in the house, they seemed more like the bullied party.

He had also never performed a thorough investigation and only scratched the surface.

Over these past few days, he investigated the incidents that happened in the past few years and realized he was actually thoroughly cheated by the masks they put on in front of him.

Chuzheng had told him that the pair of mother and daughter were after his family fortune.

But he had not believed her as she never ever asked about the company.

But…

After a thorough investigation, he found out that the woman actually did many things in secret.

“Please forgive daddy. Daddy realized he was wrong. In the future, daddy would definitely treat you better.”

“It’s all in the past now.” Chuzheng gave an equivocal reply.

Father Ji’s eyes were a little red. “Don’t worry. Daddy will settle this properly.”

Chuzheng nodded her head.

The words Father Ji wanted to say was swallowed back again. He gave one final sigh and said a few more sentences before leaving.
