Quan Jue did not take the sandwich. Her pretty face was filled with indifference and fatigue, and seemed to be saying the words “I'm really impatient now”.
Chi Jiao did not mind as she continued to smile at him.
“Ambil.” The girl's soft and sweet voice seemed to be mixed with a sweet drink that could make one easily drunk.
While the people around them were still staring at them, Quan Jue suddenly recalled the figure of the desperate Chi Jiao as she left dejectedly yesterday.
If she rejected him in public, would she start sobbing?
At this thought, Quan Jue quickly took out a sandwich from Chi Jiao's hand. She then walked past him and left with her slender legs.
Chi Jiao's eyes followed Quan Jue until he walked out of the living room before slowly returning to his seat.
Seeing Chi Mingwei looking at him with a bitter expression silently, Chi Jiao picked up an orange and placed it in front of him. “Dad, eat orange.”
Chi Mingwei chuckled at hearing that.
Upon seeing this, Chi Yan could not help but turn his eyes towards Chi Jiao.
“Jiaojiao, you seem to match Xiao Jue?” Zhu Limin asked as he casually stirred the oatmeal in a glass bowl with a spoon in his hand.
This question also came to Chi Mingwei's attention. He looked at Chi Jiao.
Chi Jiao nodded without hesitation.
Zhu Limin smiled and did not reply to anything.
Chi Mingwei's expression turned ugly and gloomy again.
“Jiaojiao, you and Xiao Jue are not from the same world. You should stay away from him.” He doesn't like his adopted son. If not for some special reason, he would definitely not let such a person stay in their home for another day.
Chi Jiao frowned and looked straight at him with her bright black pupils. “Kakak is a good person.”
But looking at her plain and clear eyes, she could not bear to say anything else.
After breakfast, Chi Mingwei went to the office. Zhu Limin had arranged to go shopping with his sister, while Chi Ze went to the art studio. Other than the servants, Chi Jiao and Chi Yan were the only ones left in the house.
Chi Jiao was about to return to her room when Chi Yan called to stop her.
Chi Jiao stood beside the stairs and turned to look at him.
Without anyone else present, Chi Yan could not be bothered to pretend anymore. He walked straight towards her and asked, “Are you very proud of yourself?”
Chi Jiao was confused.
“Dad likes you a lot. Are you very proud of yourself ?!” When Chi Yan recalled Chi Mingwei's attitude towards Chi Jiao, he went crazy from jealousy.
He had gone to great lengths to please his father and ended up receiving love from him, but in the end, he was still not as close as his blood relatives. Since Chi Jiao's return, she realized that her father's gaze was no longer on her.
It would be fine if he lost to such an extraordinary person. But to lose to a village hick who came from the mountains with nothing good about him, he couldn't give up on it.
Sensing Chi Yan's hostility, Chi Jiao suddenly smiled.
The dimples on both sides of her cheeks wrinkled as she smiled sweetly and harmlessly.
“You're panicking. You have no sense of security.” His simple words caused Chi Yan's hands to clench and his nails to stick deep into his flesh.
The words of Chi Jiao had penetrated right into his heart.
“Don't be too cocky!” Chi Yan tried his best to control his emotions. She is the daughter of a wealthy family and has received a good education since she was young. He could not show the side of his beard in front of the villagers and ruin his own status. “Dad only felt guilty for you. He doesn't really like you!”
Chi Jiao shrugged her shoulders. “So what you said. If thinking like this makes you happier, then so be it.”
His indifference made Chi Yan so angry that he almost vomited blood!
