Chapter 1031

Cheng's father was looked at by Russell with such eager eyes. His face was slightly sluggish. He asked along with Russell's words, "what's the matter? Something's wrong?"

When Cheng's father said something, Russell immediately stopped looking over his head and looked like I was fine and I was fine. He smiled at Cheng's father reluctantly and said, "it's okay, I'm okay. What can I do?"

Russell said nothing, but he looked worried about his clothes, which made Cheng dad suspicious.

Cheng's father put the Untied tie on the hanger, walked across to Russell and sat down. Holding Russell's shoulder, he whispered, "what's the matter? Jiujiu is looking for you again?"

It's no wonder that Cheng's father felt this way, because at the beginning, no matter how good Russell was to Cheng Jiujiu, Cheng Jiujiu looked dissatisfied. He picked Russell's thorn all day and looked for Russell as soon as he was free. Now Russell looks like this, no wonder Cheng's father thinks more.

At first, Cheng's father was really worried that Russell would bully Cheng Jiujiu. Every time Cheng Jiujiu asked for trouble, he would ask patiently, but once or twice, Cheng Jiujiu quarreled with Russell because of unimportant things. Cheng's father was busy at work and had no time to take care of it carefully. If he repeated it more than a dozen times, Cheng's father didn't pay much attention, Even if Cheng Jiujiu came to complain to him, he was vague and perfunctory.

Over time, Cheng Jiujiu didn't find him much, but Russell occasionally showed a sad expression.

Because Cheng Jiujiu had nothing to do before, Cheng's father had a little guilt for Russell. Now Russell showed an expression of grievance. Cheng's father naturally whispered comfort.

Cheng's father and Russell have been married for so many years. Russell himself looks good and is kind to him. He has a cover outside his home and opened a snack bar with good business. He has saved a lot of money this year, almost the same as his salary.

Who doesn't like such a beautiful woman who is good to herself and can make money?

And because Cheng Jiujiu kept looking for Russell before, and Russell always had a tolerant attitude, which also made Cheng dad take a high look at Russell, while Luo Yanqing was clever and sensible. At first glance, he would not cause trouble. Now, as soon as Russell showed such an expression, Cheng dad naturally suspected that what Cheng Jiujiu did made Russell unhappy.

Cheng's father naturally likes Cheng Jiujiu, but Cheng Jiujiu has been complaining constantly in recent years, and his grades are not good. Russell is more worried about Cheng's father, and because he is busy at work and everything at home depends on Russell's care, he always feels that Russell will be good to Cheng Jiujiu as long as he catches up with Russell's heart.

Moreover, no matter what, Jiujiu is his child. There is a blood fetter between the two people, breaking the bone and connecting the tendon. Naturally, there is no problem for him to scold Jiujiu.

Seeing Cheng dad's attitude, Russell knew that Cheng dad began to doubt that it was Jiu Jiu's problem.

Russell picked up the corner of his mouth, but he still made a difficult gesture on his face and said in a low voice: "it's all right. Maybe I'm wrong."

"What are you thinking wrong?"

A wrong thought made Cheng dad realize that things might not be so simple, and his tone couldn't help being strict.

Russell frowned, pursed his lips and whispered, "I'm busy these days. I haven't put my money in the bank. I've been putting it in our small drawer all the time. When I went to get some money today, I found that there was a hundred dollars missing."

Russell said this implicitly and didn't say by name that it was Jiujiu, but Cheng dad knew from Russell's words that Russell thought the money was Jiujiu.

If anything else, Cheng dad will let Russell forgive Jiujiu, but stealing money is not a small matter.

Cheng dad is an educated man. He always pays the most attention to character. Stealing money is stealing. Stealing needles when he is young and stealing gold when he grows up is a famous aphorism left by his ancestors. If the money is really taken by Jiujiu, he will clean up her well.

Cheng dad's face suddenly became serious, looked at Russell and said, "are you sure you didn't count wrong?"

Russell gently shook his head and looked worried. He whispered to Cheng's father, "you know, I always keep accounts, and my business is better these days. I also think it's my own family, so I put the money in the drawer. Who can think of a hundred dollars less, and..."

Russell's complexion became hesitant for a moment, and his tone was hesitant. His mouth opened for a long time without saying a word.

Cheng dad's face was more serious, and his voice couldn't help but take the tone of command: "what else, say..."

Russell's face was a little white, and his lips moved. Then he whispered, "in fact, it's my fault."

"What does it have to do with you?" hearing Russell say it's her fault, Cheng dad's face eased a little, but because he just said that Jiu Jiu stole money, his face was still a little blue.

Russell scolded in her heart when she saw this. Then she whispered: "the snack bar was a little busy this morning. When I went downstairs, I forgot to pay Jiujiu for breakfast. Qingqing left early, and I forgot to ask Qingqing to bring Jiujiu, but Qingqing said that she saw Jiujiu buy two meals in the canteen today. I think maybe she was hungry..."

"Ridiculous." Cheng dad shouted angrily, "what is hungry? Can you steal money from your family when you're hungry? I'll steal money when I'm only a few years old. I'll pay it back later. Don't worry about it. I'll go to her."

When Cheng's father finished, he directly stood up and went to find Jiujiu.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Russell quickly reached out to stop Cheng dad, pulled his arm and said, "what are you doing? What time is it now, and the children are going to bed early? You're aggressive now. What if she didn't take it ~"

"What she didn't take, the evidence is conclusive, and she said no. either I said you or you indulged her, she would become like this. Alas ~" Cheng dad sighed long, but didn't say to continue to find Jiujiu.

Russell stood behind Cheng dad, put his head on Cheng dad's shoulder and whispered, "I'm a stepmother. It's better. If it's bad, others can't tell what to say about me."

"I know it's hard for you." Cheng dad sighed and patted Russell on the back of his hand. "It's hard for you these years."

"It's not difficult. As long as I can be with you, even if I suffer hardship, it's sweet."

Russell took Cheng dad's hand, looked into Cheng dad's eyes and said, "I know you're worried that Jiu Jiu will get worse, but the child is educated, not beaten and scolded, and Jiu Jiu has a bad impression on me now. If you have a contradiction with her because of my affairs, she will be more reluctant to see me. I can't make your father and daughter discord because of my affairs."
