Ji's father sat in the study until after ten o 'clock at night, asking someone to look into what had happened to Chu Zheng recently, especially regarding the recording.
The news couldn't be obtained for the time being. Ji's father returned to his room. His stepmother was still asleep and was waiting for him.
"Old Ji."
"Um."
The stepmother sighed, "Did Chu Zheng make you angry again?"
Ji's father opened his mouth and was just about to retort when he heard his stepmother continue.
Chu Zheng is still young. Don't argue with her all day long. You're so fierce. Aren't you scaring her? If there's anything, let's have a good talk. Chu Zheng is not an unreasonable child either.
This time, perhaps Tongtong was so scared that she misread. Chuzheng does have a bit of skin, but she wouldn't have done such a thoughtless thing.
Ji Fu frowned and looked at his stepmother.
At this moment, the words that Chu Zheng had said were floating in her mind for no reason.
Every time he had a quarrel with his daughter, afterwards she would always advise herself like this: the child is still young. Don't scare the child. Once or twice, it was always like this...
Ji Tongtong and her mother jointly supported me for the sake of the Ji family's property.
"Old Ji?"
"Old Ji, what are you thinking about?"
Ji Fu came to his senses and said, "Huh?" Nothing much. There's a lot of work at the company. I'm tired all day. Let's go to sleep.
The stepmother was somewhat suspicious, but seeing that Ji's father had already gone to bed, she had no choice but to give up.
-
As soon as Chu Zheng returned to her room, she was scolded by the king with a look of frustration and disappointment.
Little sister, you should remember that there is nothing that can't be solved with money. If there is, it must be that you haven't spent enough money. So, little sister, all you need to do is - spend money! Spend money! Spend money! That's it!!
Chu Zheng: "..."
It's done faster.
[...] Could you please stop having such dangerous thoughts? We are just a simple spendthrift system.
Chu Zheng had a cold expression.
Sleep.
The next day.
I have my birthday party this weekend. You are coming. As soon as Chu Zheng entered the classroom, she heard Ji Tongtong inviting her classmates to her birthday party.
She thought for a moment and it seemed that Ji Tongtong's birthday was indeed coming.
And...
There will still be a not-so-good thing on the birthday.
Chu Zheng walked back to her position in silence. Ji Tongtong seemed to give her a glance, but soon withdrew her gaze.
A classmate asked, "Will it be held at your home?"
Ji Tongtong nodded. "Yes, we originally said we wouldn't do it, but Dad said we would. We even invited quite a few people."
Because of her hospitalization, Ji's father promised her to hold a more grand birthday party.
"Wow..."
Ji Tongtong's words made many people envious.
Can we all go?
Sure. Anyone who wants to come is fine.
During the period when Ji Tongtong invited everyone to the banquet, Chu Zheng took on a million-dollar task, which was quite specific: to buy a car worth three million.
Chu Zheng: "??"
Previously, the system never mentioned at all that there were specific spending tasks.
"Little sister, you'll have more surprises in the future ~" The king is very proud.
Surprise?
What surprise could a bronze bring? The shock was more than enough. Chu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Even if I buy it, I can't open it. What's the use?"
The original owner is under eighteen years old and doesn't have a driver's license.
If you buy it, a driver will drive it. The king spoke very casually, "Rich people don't need to drive by themselves."
Chu Zheng: "..."
So Chu Zheng was delighted to get a luxury car worth three million yuan.
-
Weekend.
Ji Tongtong's birthday.
Early in the morning, Ji's father was pestered by Ji Tongtong about the birthday party. When Chu Zheng was at home, he still couldn't have a word with her.
It was not until Ji Tongtong went to look for her mother that Ji's father and Chu Zheng ran into each other in the corridor.
"Zheng Zheng..." Ji Fu called out rather hesitantly.
These days, Chu Zheng sometimes comes back a little late, but it's never too late. It's completely different from the past when he came back drunk in the middle of the night and made a big fuss.
It seems that she grew up when he didn't know.
"Dad?"
Ji's father's expression softened: "You..." Is there still enough money?
He had intended to ask her about the recent events, but in the end, he only said this one sentence.
How could he not care about this daughter?
It was because she used to be too troublesome. She always went against him and they started arguing before they could even say a word.
"Enough." Chu Zheng nodded expressionlessly.
With a system in place, she might not be short of money to spend.
She thought for a moment, turned around and went back to her room.
Ji Fu, who was still thinking about what to say, was stunned.
Just leaving?
However, Chu Zheng came out very soon, still holding a box in his hand.
It was bought before. Chu Zheng handed the box to Ji Fu.
The box was not heavy, but when Ji Fu held it at this moment, it felt rather heavy.
He gave Chu Zheng a deep look, and his eyes were slightly red. He had been arguing with his daughter for years, but now he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
Chu Zheng naturally couldn't say anything touching either.
"Ok..." Ok...
Ji's father held the box as if it were a treasure. He had received a gift from her when she was very young.
Chu Zheng: "..."
Then I'll go back to my room first.
Ji Fu didn't know what to say either and could only nod.
-
Dad, may I come in?
Ji's father was placing the things Chu Zheng had bought on the desk when he heard Ji Tongtong knocking at the door and asking her to come in.
Ji Tongtong spotted that jade PI Xiu at a glance.
This should be the one Yang Xixi mentioned.
Unexpectedly, she actually bought it for Ji's father...
"Is something wrong with Tongtong?"
Ji Tongtong immediately raised a gentle smile and said, "It's almost two o 'clock. My classmate will be here soon. Dad, you haven't changed your clothes yet."
"Yeah." Because of Chu Zheng's behavior, Ji Fu forgot about it: "Look at my memory. I'll go and change it right away."
"No need, Dad. I've picked it out for you." Ji Tongtong took out a suit from behind.
Ji Fu chuckled twice and said, "Tongtong is just so considerate."
Ji Tongtong handed the clothes to Ji's father and then showed a hesitant look.
What's wrong with Tongtong? Ji's father asked.
Ji Tongtong seemed very troubled: "Dad..." I... I think something is not quite right with my elder sister.
Ji Fu asked, "What's wrong?"
"Dad, I..."
"It's okay. Go ahead and speak."
Ji Tongtong's face was full of confusion. Finally, she showed a worried expression: "Didn't you suspend your sister's card before?" But my elder sister still spends money freely. She once spent 200,000 yuan on a jade PI Xiu... Oh, yes. This is it.
Ji Tongtong pointed at the jade PI Xiu on Ji's father's table.
I'm a little worried about my elder sister. Before, she never had any savings and would ask you for money every now and then. But this time, her card was suspended and she still has so much money... I dare not ask her either.
Ji Tongtong's face was full of worry. She pretended to be a good sister who had brought up this matter purely out of concern.
Ji Tongtong carefully glanced at Ji's father. Seeing his brows slightly furrowed, she continued, "Every time school is over, I see my elder sister and some people..." "Playing together, I'm afraid something might happen to my elder sister."
Ji Tongtong thought Ji Fu would be furious, but Ji Fu just frowned and said, "Let's talk about this after your birthday."
Ji Tongtong was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that her father didn't lose his temper immediately, but still gave a smile and said obediently, "Yes, then Dad will change his clothes. I'm going down first."
"Go."
When Ji Tongtong left, Ji's father looked at the jade PI Xiu on the table, and the calm and indifferent eyes of Chu Zheng appeared before his eyes.
