章節 10: Chapter 10 Zhizhi, You Can Marry My Brother!
Zhiyi doesn't deserve such fine things, so it doesn't matter even if she takes them away.
Li Hui had a sweet mouth, and it wasn't long before she was calling them daddy, mommy, grandpa, and grandma one by one.
Perhaps it was indeed the bond of blood, as the entire Chu family was charmed by her sweet words into incomparable happiness.
They began to believe that Li Hui was indeed their own biological child.
During the break, Mother Chu took Li Hui to knock on Zhiyi's bedroom door.
"Zhiyi, this is the best room in the house, and since Huihui has just returned, she will stay in this room."
After Mother Chu spoke, she saw that Zhiyi had already changed out of her evening gown, and the pink diamond jewelry had also been removed.
Dressed in the clothes she had worn when returning the day before, Zhiyi still looked ethereally beautiful.
"I know," Zhiyi still wore a proper smile, "I don't have many things, they're all packed in my bag already, I just need to take them with me."
"Are your things really yours?" Li Hui scrutinized her and sneered coldly.
Zhiyi glanced at her, "Just my phone and ID card, the cards grandpa and dad gave me are all on the table."
"Zhiyi, you heard what your father said just now, didn't you?" Mother Chu, for the first time, voiced her dissatisfaction with her compliant appearance.
"We've raised you for twenty-one years, even if it were a dog, it would know to circle around my feet. What do you mean by all this now?"
"Mom, the results have not come out yet, and you already feel that I am not your daughter," Zhiyi said with a bitter smile, "Now it seems, whether I am your daughter or not, it's inappropriate for me to spend the family's money."
Mother Chu felt choked by Zhiyi's words, utterly uncomfortable.
She was uncomfortable with Zhiyi spending the Chu family's money, and uncomfortable when Zhiyi didn't spend it.
Li Hui was also not pleased.
She had prepared herself for a tit-for-tat battle with Zhiyi, only to find that Zhiyi had already surrendered before the fight had begun, ready to leave the field.
This made her own aggressiveness appear even more overbearing.
The more Li Hui thought about it, the angrier she got, cursing inwardly.
Zhiyi was nothing but a green tea bitch!
Zhiyi didn't care what Li Hui was thinking; she had already taken her own things out and said, "Mom, should I stay at home or go back to the rental room at the TV station?"
"You really want to run away? Stay at home properly, and don't go anywhere!"
Zhiyi smiled considerately, "Alright."
Mother Chu felt cut by Zhiyi's soft knife again, inexplicably choked up.
Zhiyi moved into the guest room, sitting on a chair, she watched the birds outside soaring freely, her thoughts drifting far away.
Father Chu seemed to have already determined that it was impossible for her to be a daughter of the Chu family; she might be placed under house arrest these few days.
But she couldn't let Father Chu do with her as he pleased.
Zhiyi picked up her phone and started making calls before Father Chu could take her phone away.
She first called Wu Yang.
Wu Yang picked up quickly, and Jinjin was with her.
"Zhizhi, how are you?" Wu Yang asked anxiously.
"Bad news, I might really not be the Chu family's daughter," Zhiyi replied crisply.
Jinjin said, "This may not be such a bad thing."
Zhiyi's voice carried a hint of cheerfulness, "True, I have the chance to completely escape this cage."
"What do you need us to do?" Wu Yang immediately asked.
"My marriage to Zhou Hen is probably going to be called off, but Chu Heng certainly won't let me go easily after raising me for twenty-one years."
Zhiyi analytically explained to her friend, "Until he decides what to do with me, I'm afraid I can't leave the Chu family."
"So, I want you guys to help me pay attention to what trade Chu Heng intends to make with me."
Wu Yang exclaimed in shock, "He still wants to use your marriage for his dealings?"
It was inevitable.
Chu Heng was a thorough businessman.
To him, his daughter was a bargaining chip for power and money.
Wu Yang immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely keep an eye on that old coot Chu Heng's movements for you!"
Chu Zhiyi gratefully said, "Thank you, Yangyang."
Jinjin said, "Zhizhi, I think you should settle your marriage as soon as possible, while Chu Heng is still unaware."
"How can it be so easy to find someone?" After Chu Zhiyi said this, a man's voice suddenly crossed her mind.
'I do indeed have plans to marry soon.'
Chu Zhiyi's breath hitched.
Over the phone, Jinjin was unaware of Chu Zhiyi's fleeting thought, "Whether it's a sham marriage or a real one, you need to get married soon. It's your chance to be rescued from this cage."
Wu Yang immediately said, "My brother, my brother! Zhizhi, you can marry my brother first! With my family backing you, Chu Heng definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to you!"
Far away in a foreign country, Wu Yang's brother suddenly sneezed.
Chu Zhiyi's gloom instantly scattered, and she laughed, "Yangyang, thank you, I'll consider it carefully."
Wu Yang subconsciously answered, "Marry my brother?"
"Your brother is abroad, how could he possibly come back to marry Zhizhi?"
Wu Yang didn't care, "What's the problem, I'll just get him to come back, right?"
Jinjin and Wu Yang began making jokes and steered the conversation off course.
Chu Zhiyi interrupted their banter, gave them her other mobile phone number, and then hung up the phone.
After that, Chu Zhiyi lowered her head and dialed another number.
"Hello? Is this Senior?"
...
Just after the phone call ended, there came a knocking at the door.
"Zhizhi?"
Chu Zhiyi gripped her phone tightly, stood up calmly, and opened the door.
"Dad, what's the matter?"
Father Chu sized up Chu Zhiyi.
The efforts he had invested in Chu Zhiyi were not insignificant – he had hired a million-dollar salary etiquette teacher, a piano teacher, a dance instructor, a foreign-language tutor.
Since she was five years old, Chu Zhiyi had not had a single day without studying. If she ever slacked off, Father Chu would not hesitate to discipline her harshly, making sure she understood that everything she had was given by him.
Father Chu wanted to mould Chu Zhiyi into an untainted noble young lady.
As it turned out, he had succeeded.
Once the family had money, she began learning musical instruments and even won awards in international competitions. When learning to dance, many teachers said Chu Zhiyi was naturally cut out for dancing.
Chu Zhiyi scored seven hundred and three in the college entrance exam, ranking seventeenth in Jiang City that year.
Following her father to soirees, her elegance and propriety made many people envious.
Which prominent family in Jiang City didn't praise Father Chu for his excellent upbringing when they saw Chu Zhiyi?
Chu Zhiyi enhanced Father Chu's reputation significantly, and he, in turn, managed to arrange her engagement to Zhou Hen as he wished.
If it weren't for Li Hui, the marriage between Chu Zhiyi and Zhou Hen would have been set in stone.
But now...
With Li Hui's affair being public knowledge, he had no chance to resolve the matter privately.
Since Chu Zhiyi couldn't marry Zhou Hen, her value was not fully realized, which Father Chu found regrettable.
"Nothing's wrong, Dad just wanted to ask what you think about today's events?"
Father Chu smiled as he walked into the guest bedroom, looked around to make sure Chu Zhiyi had no intentions of escaping, then picked up her bag and rifled through it until he found her ID card, holding it in his hand.
