BXBX NOVEL Chapter 105: Why, Chi Ya Knows Best
So when Mayor Wang came to him with the matter, he didn’t think much of it; he just wanted to get it over with quickly.
Now, when Chi Enen suddenly asked him with an accusatory tone, he remembered what Chi Ya had told him before, and a sense of inexplicable anger rose within him. He said in a deep voice, “Even Mayor Wang said so, which means there certainly was such an incident. If there wasn’t, people wouldn’t know about you just after your return to the country.”
Chi Enen felt a chill in her heart; she curled the corners of her mouth and suddenly burst into laughter, “Why does he know about me? Didn’t Chi Ya tell you?”
Chi Ya’s face stiffened, and she retorted in a shrill voice, “What do you mean by that? If you’re going to accuse someone, accuse yourself. Don’t drag me into this.”
“You should be very clear about what I mean. Weren’t you also at Money Cabinet that day?” Chi Enen could no longer hold back. Why should she? Nobody in this family ever treated her as a member of it, so she didn’t need to force herself to be a meek white lotus.
Su Chengyan looked at her, and Chi Ya’s eyes became frantic. She rushed to explain, “I was meeting a friend.”
“Meeting a friend and specifically bringing Mr. Su along?” Chi Enen spoke with a mocking smile, “What a coincidence.”
Indeed, too much of a coincidence!
During the past several days lying in the hospital, she had been pondering over the meaning of Wang Feng’s words about ‘the chick introduced by Chi Ya’. After much thought, she could only come up with one logical explanation—that Chi Ya had introduced Wang Feng to her aunt and, through her aunt’s hands, had ‘sold’ her out. Meanwhile, Chi Ya coincidentally brought Su Chengyan to Money Cabinet, just so Su Chengyan could witness an inappropriate scene between her and Wang Feng-
Had she not experienced it personally, she would never have imagined Chi Ya being so malicious at such a young age.
Nor could she have expected this malice to be directed at her.
Yes, she didn’t like Chi Ya, but regardless, Chi Ya was her half-sister from the same father. She disliked Chi Ya, but she had never thought of harming her.
Thinking about it now, she realized how naive she had been.
Her lack of intent to harm Chi Ya didn’t mean Chi Ya had no intent to harm her.
Su Chengyan wasn’t foolish; what Chi Enen had thought of, he had too. His normally gentle pupils instantly turned cold as he began to scrutinize the young girl beside him. His eyebrows furrowed, “Xiao Ya, shouldn’t you explain to me?”
“I…” Chi Ya, feeling the weight of his gaze, had her heart pounding like a drum. She wanted to explain but at the moment couldn’t find the perfect excuse. She could only turn her eyes red, looking at him with teary pretense as if she had suffered a great injustice, “Brother Chengyan, you don’t believe me?”
“I just want to get things clear.”
“Clear about what? About how I harmed someone? I didn’t!” she said, with an injured look, and widened her eyes, “Just because older sister casually says a few words, you doubt me?”
With that, she threw herself into Gu Qiaoinei’s arms and began to sob.
As Gu Qiaomei gently patted her back to comfort her, she lifted her head and spoke with displeasure, “That day, Ya Ya’s good friend had returned to the country and arranged a communal meal at Money Cabinet. I was worried about her going to Money Cabinet alone, so I had her call Chengyan. Ya Ya’s friend called when your father was also present. Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, your father knows best.”
Chi Jianguo, already feeling indebted to Chi Enen for her existence, became even more upset as she spoke. His face darkening, he said, “Alright, I was there that day as well, and Ya Ya’s friend indeed called to invite her to Money Cabinet. Enen, you shouldn’t be overthinking everything all day long.”
