Chapter 8

Hospital.

The doctor checked Jia Fuhai's wound and said, "It's just a superficial injury. The wound isn't big. A band-aid will do."

Upon hearing this, Jia Fuhai turned to his father and said, "Dad, I told you not to make a big deal out of it."

Actually, Jia Fuhai's healing speed had increased, but he didn't realize it.

"It's good if nothing serious happened. Let's go eat." Seeing the band-aid on Jia Fuhai, Zhen Fugui visibly relaxed.

He had seen the amount of blood from the forehead injury earlier... Maybe it's because the young man has strong vitality.

At the private restaurant.

In the private room.

"Xiaohai, you haven't done anything to hurt Qiqi, have you?" Zhen Fugui suddenly asked while eating pig's feet, his eyes fixed on Jia Fuhai.

"Huh? Dad, I've always been with Qiqi. What are you talking about?"

Zhen Fugui immediately seized on the wording.

Jia Fuhai glared at his father-in-law, speechless, wondering if he was looking for trouble.

The two stared at each other for a while.

"Better not have. By the way, why is Nana always coming to your place recently?"

Zhen Fugui wiped his hands, which were covered in sauce, and asked again.

"...Qiqi wanted to talk to her!"

For a moment, Jia Fuhai almost wanted to confess...

When Zhen Fugui heard this, his hand froze while wiping, then stood up, placing his left hand on Jia Fuhai's shoulder and leaning in to whisper in his ear, "If you dare hurt my daughter, you're dead."

After saying this, Zhen Fugui turned and left the room.

Looking at all the food on the table, Jia Fuhai lost his appetite. By the time he went out, his father-in-law had already paid the bill, so he could only go home.

They lived in a mansion near the city center, worth nearly 500 million, a gift from his father-in-law. There were also two other properties, each worth around 100 million, rented out for their daily expenses.

He took out the key and entered. The house was unusually quiet.

He looked at the two women and said calmly, "Wife, Nana won't cause trouble today. If there's anything, just say it."

Upon hearing this, both women realized something must have happened, and began changing their clothes.

Zhen Linqi wrapped herself in a blanket and asked, "Honey, what happened?"

Jia Fuhai directly said, "I want to tell Dad and Nana everything, it's going to happen sooner or later."

"I know. We were just worried it might upset Dad since he has some issues with you. If you want to say it, just go ahead, I'll go with you," Zhen Linqi said, supporting his decision.

"I'm going too," Zhen Linna chimed in.

"No, just me and Zhen Linna will go. Qiqi, you stay at home. Let me handle this," Jia Fuhai decided. He thought since Nana couldn't escape it anyway, he might as well settle it all at once.

"Okay." Zhen Linqi simply agreed.

"Nana, let's go," Jia Fuhai said, pulling Zhen Linna's hand.

When they were almost at the Zhen family's house, Zhen Linna seemed nervous.

Jia Fuhai tried to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll talk to Dad alone, after that, we can be together all the time."

Hearing this, Zhen Linna squeezed his hand tighter.

At the Zhen family home.

After returning, Zhen Fugui went straight to his room and sat down, chain-smoking.

After the questioning, he had more or less figured things out. Not to mention there had been many signs before. As someone who had married two women, he could see right through it.

He just couldn't understand what was so good about Jia Fuhai. What made his daughter... What qualities did he even have?

It really bothered him that Zhen Fugui, a man like him, had been outdone by someone named Jia.

Is Jia controlling the Zhen family?

Zhen Fugui was in agony, puffing smoke into the room.

Ding-dong~

"Mom~ where's Dad, I need to talk to him."

Seeing Chen Linna, Jia Fuhai immediately called her "Mom."

"Over there."

Chen Linna was a bit surprised by the sudden "Mom" but still pointed to the direction of Zhen Fugui's room.

"Thanks, Mom. Nana, you wait here."

After thanking her, Jia Fuhai hurried toward the room.

Chen Linna then noticed Zhen Linna behind Jia Fuhai.

Though Zhen Linna had been brave downstairs, she was now becoming more cautious.

Chen Linna seemed a bit stunned. First, she was called "Mom," then she saw her daughter becoming more timid. "Nana, what's going on?"

In the smoke-filled room, Zhen Fugui sat with his eyes closed, his mood complex.

Knock knock knock...

"Who is it?"

"Dad, it's me."

Hearing Jia Fuhai's voice, Zhen Fugui calmly replied, "Come in."

At this moment, he wasn't thinking about anything else.

When Jia Fuhai entered, the first thing he saw was the smoky room. Then he knelt before Zhen Fugui.

Zhen Fugui snorted, "What, kneeling again?"

"Dad, leave Nana to me," Jia Fuhai said, looking directly at his father-in-law.

Zhen Fugui let out an angry laugh, clapping Jia Fuhai's shoulder forcefully. "Haha, you really are something! Kneel once, and you want to marry my daughter?"

"Jia, you really are something. I just don't get it. You have nothing, but you managed to marry both my daughters. Can you explain why?"

"I'll make them happy," Jia Fuhai responded, knowing his words didn't carry much weight.

"Anyone can say sweet words. Do you know whose house you're living in right now? Don't pretend you don't know! Are you after the Zhen family's money?"

As he spoke, Zhen Fugui's face contorted with rage, delivering a hard punch to Jia Fuhai's face.

Jia Fuhai didn't dare resist. After all, marrying two daughters was what he deserved.

"Dad, you should know that I don't have any ill intentions."

"That's not something easy to say. You can know a person's face but not their heart." Thinking of his two daughters, Zhen Fugui felt a pang of pain inside. He just couldn't understand, couldn't fathom why his daughters liked this guy.

If one daughter liked him, it might be a mistake. But two? And both were willing to stay with him? There had to be some hidden qualities he didn't know about.

"Dad, you'll see in the future. I'll never mistreat them."

Jia Fuhai had always hoped for a good future with his children, but right now, he felt a little unsure.

No wonder he couldn't relax after getting married.

Zhen Fugui sat on the sofa with his eyes closed, not saying a word.

After a long time.

Zhen Fugui finally opened his eyes and looked at Jia Fuhai kneeling before him. He said:

"Alright, go. At least you've shown responsibility, and you didn't bring my daughters here. Otherwise..."

"Just take care of it."

After saying this, Zhen Fugui waved his hand, signaling Jia Fuhai to leave. If Jia Fuhai ever hurt his daughters, Zhen Fugui would personally make sure he faced the consequences.

Looking at his daughters, Zhen Fugui thought, his eldest daughter was already pregnant, and his youngest daughter... could only accept it.

"Dad, I'll go. You rest."

After bidding farewell to Zhen Fugui, Jia Fuhai exited the room.

"Mom, Nana."

Looking at the two women, Jia Fuhai called out.

"Hey, from now on, Nana's in your hands. Make sure to take good care of her."

When Zhen Fugui and Jia Fuhai spoke earlier, Zhen Linna had been nervous at first, but when she remembered what Jia Fuhai said, she mustered up the courage to talk to Chen Linna.

"Don't worry, Mom!"

Jia Fuhai squeezed Zhen Linna's hand and said.

Zhen Linna, touching her slightly swollen face, asked, "Xiaohai, are you okay?"

Jia Fuhai smiled, replying, "I'm fine. Nana, say goodbye to Dad and let's head home."

He knew it was better not to stay too long. At that moment, he felt out of place in the Zhen family.
