Chapter 12 — Interrogation. Just one word, perfection.

Did she just ask me to lend her my phone to order takeaway?

For a moment, Wen Sisi didn't know whether it was Chi Zhengzheng who was out of her mind or herself.

She stared at her with round eyes and gritted her teeth. "Why should I!"

"I will tell the Wen family that you are…"

"Bang!" The phone was thrown at her, and Wen Sisi spat blood in anger. She sat on the bed, gasping for air.

Chi Zhengzheng opened her phone and saw that she needed to enter her fingerprint, so she reached for Wen Sisi's hand and unlocked it in front of her. While glaring at her with a stunned expression, she opened the takeaway app and ordered food.

"Chi Zhengzheng!!!" Wen Si Si growled.

She was deceived!

After Chi Zhengzheng changed the address, she returned her phone to her, "Keep it down, don't disturb others. I'll listen to you. You can talk."

"You, you, you…." Wen Sisi was so angry that she vomited blood, her face was white full of anger, and she couldn't even speak.

Chi Zhengzheng reached out and turned on the TV. She sat on the small sofa, kicked off her shoes, lazily lying down, and gave her a look, "Don't get angry. Nobody could replace you if you get sick from excessive anger."

Wen Sisi: "…"

The TV sound was on, it was a dog-blooded idol drama, and Chi Zhengzheng watched it intently.

Wen Sisi was so angry that she slammed her phone on the bed, pounding her hand on the bed, so mad that her eyes turned black.

The Chi family.

After Chi Zhengzheng left, Chi Yan interrogated An Qinru with a cold voice.

What happened that day?

An Qinru opened her mouth, and her eyes turned red.

How could she dare tell them the truth?

She moved her eyes to look at Ding Yijun as if asking for help, yet at that moment, Ding Yijun was also looking at her with complicated eyes.

No matter how many excuses there were, no matter how many benefits there were, she was indeed with Wen Yiran. Their emotional entanglement had begun when Chi Zhengzheng and Wen Yiran were still engaged.

Even Ding Yijun could not help but be suspicious.

— Is it true, as her niece claims, that she didn't do it on purpose?

"T-That day… Brother Yiran wanted to see me, I also wanted to make things clear with him, so I agreed. However, I didn't expect that when I was about to refuse Brother Yiran, Sister Zhengzheng would come. She slapped me very angrily, and Brother Yiran said… h-he said he wanted to break off the engagement. Sister Zingzheng couldn't accept it and wanted to leave, I couldn't stop her, and the next thing I knew, the car accident happened. "An Qinru said while tears were streaming down her face.

This explanation sounded reasonable, and the suspicion in Ding Yijun's eyes disappeared a little.

Ding Yijun watched An Qinru grow up. She had been fond of her since she was young. Although she was another family's child, she had always clung to her, so Ding Yijun loved her very much.

Therefore, she always trusted An Qinru.

However, Chi Yan wasn't convinced. Wen Yu's words had affected him. At that moment, his guilt towards Chi Zhengzheng was at its peak, causing him to think very rationally about An Qinru's words.

Chi Yan was usually very busy. He had too many things to deal with daily, so he didn't pay too much attention to his children's conflicts with other people.

Chi Zhouchen was the future heir of the Chi family. He would inherit the Chi family business, so he also had to spend most of his free time nurturing Chi Zhouchen. Chi Zhengzheng could only be put in the back of his mind.

– She often made things difficult for An Qinru. She disliked An Qinru and had a somewhat arrogant temper. This was the impression Chi Yan used to have of his daughter.

As a businessman, many things could be given up to make a profit.

For example, Chi Zhengzheng's resentment and anger.

Not only Chi Zhengzheng's but also his grievances and anger could be given up in the name of the business.

Therefore, Chi Yan did not see anything wrong with maintaining a friendly relationship with An Qinru after he was sure that Wen Yiran acknowledged only her.

– But, the premise of this was if An Qinru was on the Chi family's side.

At that moment, Chi Yan could see that something was wrong.

He said in a cold voice: "Since you went to talk things out with Wen Yiran on the day of Zhengzheng's car accident. Why did you keep being ambiguous with Wen Yiran afterward, even in Zhengzheng's hospital ward…."

He looked at her coldly; at that moment, those sharp eyes looked like they could see through everything.

An Qinru stiffened, then stammered, "I-I… just went there to see Sister Zhengzheng. It was Brother Yiran… I-I… I love him. I couldn't help it…."

Firstly, she put all the blame on Wen Yiran, and later, she put some blame on herself— she couldn't help it.

However, she couldn't fool anyone now, especially since Chi Yan didn't seem to care. An Qinru could easily convince the naive Ding Yijun, but it was challenging to deceive Chi Yan. The latter was very experienced in the business.

"So you decide to go there every day? Is that how you tried to refuse him?" Chi Yan's eyes grew colder.

"I…" An Qinru's mind was a mess, and she didn't know how to defend herself for a moment.

At that moment, Chi Zhouchen came back.

He was full of impatience: "Dad, Mom, Chi Zhengzheng has disappeared. I didn't find her, so I asked the driver to look everywhere around the house again. I came back first. I'm sleepy."

Ding Yijun stood up with anxiousness on her face, "Where the hell did Zhengzheng go? Her mobile phone is broken, and she doesn't have her ID. Where could she go? No, I'm going out to look."

Chi Yan's eyes also showed concern as he stood up and waved his hand, "Wait at home. She might come back if she has nowhere to go. I'll get someone to check the surveillance cameras first."

His eyes swept over An Qinru, and seeing Chi Zhouchen made him regain his composure.

– If she was really going to marry Wen Yiran in the future, she couldn't be too offended.

So, Chi Yan said, "An Qinru, don't forget who raised you all these years. Zhengzheng is my biological daughter. Put away your petty thoughts."

Having said that, he hurried upstairs.

An Qinru sat on the sofa, her head blank for a moment.

A few moments later, Chi Yan came out of the study, looking a little more relaxed —

"Zhengzheng got into Wen Yu's car."

Chi Zhouchen yawned, knowing that nothing would happen to Chi Zhengzheng. He couldn't be bothered, so he went back to his room to sleep.

Ding Yijun sighed in relief and relaxed on the sofa.

When she looked at An Qinru on the opposite side, her eyes were extremely complicated.

"Auntie…" An Qinru cried out, feeling wronged.

Ding Yijun didn't comfort her as she always did and stood up, simply saying, "I'll go up first and ask where Zhengzheng is now."

After saying that, without waiting for An Qinru to say anything, she hurriedly went upstairs.

Looking at Ding Yijun's back, An Qinru's hand clenched into a fist, and the grievances and innocence in her eyes gradually disappeared and turned into some concern…

She knew Ding Yijun was beginning to suspect her and Chi Yan had no feelings for her.

If Wen Yiran no longer liked her and she no longer had the possibility of marrying him, she would have no place in the Chi family.

The takeaway soon arrived.

It was two bowls of hot and sour noodles.

Chi Zhengzheng opened a box excitedly, and the rich, spicy and sour smell filled the room instantly.

It smelt so good!

Since she had transmigrated here, she had only eaten light meals. This was the first time she had eaten a snack like spicy and sour noodles since she came to this world.

"Want to eat?" Chi Zhengzheng asked Wen Sisi.

Wen Sisi stared at her. The moment she started smelling the spicy and sour noodles, she was already glaring at Chi Zheng Zheng to death.

Upon hearing this, she sneered, "What kind of rubbish is this? It stinks so much. You can really eat anything, Chi Zhengzheng. The more you live, the worse you get. The car accident must have broken your brain."

The "brain-damaged" Chi Zhengzheng smiled, and seeing that she was her "financial backer," she didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Inside the TV, the male lead and heroine were served a bowl of fragrant spicy and sour noodles.

Just one word, perfection.

She ate a mouthful of the noodles, and Chi Zhengzheng's eyes lit up.

Oooohhhh, it was so delicious!!

"It stinks, it stinks so much. What junk food are you eating, Chi Zhengzheng? You are really…." Wen Sisi was still cursing beside her. As she cursed, she was also swallowing her saliva.

Actually… she was pretty hungry too.

She hadn't eaten dinner, and the smell of this spicy and sour noodle was so overpowering that she couldn't stop drooling.

Wen Sisi's curses lessened and gradually disappeared, and only the TV sound could be heard.

Chi Zhengzheng was very unattractively, swallowing the noodles. The aroma was overflowing, the smell was already inviting, and she was enjoying the meal so much…

Wen Sisi looked at her and gradually turned to look at her portion, slowly swallowing her saliva.

At that moment, her phone rang.

– Caller ID An Qinru.

Wen Sisi answered it with great annoyance.

On the other end, An Qinru knew that there was a lot of opposition to her marrying into the Wen family. Since Wen Sisi was the younger generation that Wen Jingsen and Wen Yiran favored, she tried her best to please her.

So she called and spoke gently: "Sisi… did you run away from home?"

Through her nostrils, she could fully smell the spicy and sour noodles that seemed full of flavor. Wen Sisi watched as Chi Zhengzheng finished a bowl of spicy and sour noodles, which didn't seem enough. She actually set her eyes on the second bowl!!!

Why would Wen Sisi have time to care about An Qinru?

She scolded through the phone, "Why are you so annoying? You already know I ran away from home, so why are you calling me?"

She hung up with a "bang."

On the other end of the phone, An Qinru looked confused: "???"

Why was Wen Sisi so grumpy?! They were usually so nice to each other!

At the other end, Wen Sisi hung up the phone and was ready to continue opening the bowl and scolding the person in front of her who annoyed her the most!

Chi Zhengzheng put her hand on the second bowl, watched the TV, and casually asked, "Want to eat? If not, I'll eat it."

The curse that was about to be spat out choked and was replaced with, "Why don't you just eat and die?

And then, angrily, she walked over and grabbed the hot and sour noodles, "Why can't I eat it if I paid for it?!"

While talking, he opened it, and the fragrance rushed over instantly.

Chi Zhengzheng ignored her provocation.

Very soon, the inside of the room, you could see –

On the one hand, a delicate woman couldn't curse because she was eating too spicy noodles and could only drink water.

On the other hand, a lazy woman was watching TV while lying on the bed next to her, and the room was intoxicated with the smell of hot and sour noodles.

"Wen Yu isn't answering his phone." Xu Wei was helpless.

Wen Jingsen slammed the table and growled: "He picked up Chi Zhengzheng and didn't even say a word?! How can I explain this to the Chi family? See if I don't break his legs!"

Xu Wei couldn't help but say: "Why would you care about her if something happens to Chi Zhengzheng? Even if she dies outside, it has nothing to do with us."

"What do you know?" Wen Jing Sen said impatiently. "Has Sisi answered the phone yet?"

Xu Wei shook her head again.

"These two!" Wen Jingsen was furious.

At this moment, Xu Wei seemed to think of something and suddenly said, "Husband, you said that Wen Yu took Chi Zhengzheng away and didn't answer the phone, and he also hasn't come back yet, is it…"
