Chapter 307: Chapter 307: Chi Jianguo is your dad, not mine

“Chi Enen, what do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean, can’t you understand?” Chi Enen pressed down on her shoulders, pushing her into the chair, and continued indifferently, “Speaking of which, I should thank you, Chi Ya. All these years, I never figured it out, but you helped me do so today. Where would the illegitimate daughter of a mistress get a father from? The moment my mom made the wrong choice, my father died. All these years, I’ve been mistaken, always believing I was part of the Chi family. In reality, I’m not; the Chi family has only one daughter, and that’s you, Chi Ya. As for me? For over twenty years, I’ve been nothing more than an ‘orphan taken in by the Chi family’.”

Isn’t that exactly what I am, an ‘orphan taken in’ by Chi Jianguo?

Chi Jianguo never made me feel like he was my father. All these years, he has been indifferent. Just as Chi Ya said, if not for the fact that too many people knew about my mother’s existence back then, Chi Jianguo probably wouldn’t have brought me home at all; he might have sent me to the orphanage instead.

I was the one harboring delusions all along.

How could a man who could watch his daughter being drugged and delivered to an old man’s bed while reminding the ‘bad guy’ not to let her find out, and a man who knew Mayor Wang’s visit was ill-intentioned yet still asked me to keep the appointment, possibly be my father?

I don’t have a father; my father ‘died’ long ago.

He ‘died’ when I was born, alongside my mother!

“Chi Enen, what exactly are you trying to say?” Chi Ya’s unease grew, and she demanded aggressively with an air of false bravado, “Dad is still alive and well, what nonsense are you spouting!”

“I’m saying that from now on, Chi Jianguo is your father, not mine! I don’t have a father!”

Even when I stepped back, showed patience, they never treated me like family. So why should I keep enduring?

Chi Enen pinched Chi Ya’s chin, lifting it up, “Chi Ya, I remember the last time you plotted against me, I said that if there was a next time, I wouldn’t let you off easily.”

“… You wouldn’t dare!” Chi Ya’s eyes were filled with panic, but her attitude remained as defiant as ever.

Chi Enen’s lips curled into a smile.

This was Chi Ya, always so defiant in front of me since we were little. The only thing she relied on was my constant concessions!

But that was then, not now!

Back then, I conceded because I felt guilty towards Gu Qiaomei, but now, even if my mom wronged Gu Qiaomei to the greatest extent, I’ve already repaid it to Chi Ya. I did so the first time Chi Ya plotted against me.

Therefore, I won’t yield any longer!

“Five years ago, you had Gu Qianci drug me, aiming to deliver me to Taiyu’s boss’s bed, correct?” Chi Enen had never been so grateful before, grateful that the man that night was Li Beijue. Although she didn’t know why Taiyu’s boss turned out to be Li Beijue, she was truly thankful that God didn’t push her into hell.

Chi Ya’s lips were tightly pressed together. Even now, she showed no hint of remorse, “… So what if I did! I hate you, I’m sick of you, and just seeing you disgusts me!”

“I’ve said it before, fortunately, I hate you too.” Chi Enen kept questioning her, “More than half a year ago, you conspired with my aunt again, trying to send me to Young Master Wang’s bed, correct?”

“Chi Enen, you really think you are the young lady of a wealthy family? If Young Master Wang takes a fancy to you, that would be your good fortune! You’ve eaten my family’s food for over twenty years for free, so what’s wrong with contributing a little to the family?”
