Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Do you want to see me die of heartache to be comfortable?
Chi Jianguo calmed down and first scanned the surrounding area warily, afraid that Chi Enen might be hiding a mobile phone to record. Softly and quickly with feigned affection, he said, “Enen, what are you talking about? How could I possibly bribe a doctor to do anything to your mom? Who has been filling your head with nonsense?”
Chi Enen had been observing his reaction, and when she saw the guarded look in his eyes, she already knew the truth.
It felt like her heart was being torn to pieces.
Over twenty years of father-daughter affection as thin as water, she had thought at worst they’d be strangers, but she never expected that the man before her wasn’t even human but a beast in human clothing!
Yet she still wanted to ask him.
“Why?”
Chi Jianguo’s gaze flickered, and without pausing, he said, “Why what? Enen, who has been speaking ill of me to you?”
This matter was only known to him and Gu Qiaomei. He hadn’t told anyone, so could it be that Gu Qiaomei had told Enen?
It didn’t make sense. Gu Qiaomei was still counting on him to bail out Gu Qiao’an, so why would she sabotage things at this time?
His heart was pounding, but the calmer and gentler his face appeared as he said, “Enen, don’t believe the nonsense those people outside are whispering in your ear. My company is about to go public, and they are deliberately spreading rumors behind my back just to tear our family apart.”
“Also, your Aunt Mei has asked me to beg you, please ask Young Master Li to show some leniency and let President Gu off the hook. President Gu did wrong this time, but Young Master Li has already taught him a lesson. Enen, we’re all family, there’s no need to drive someone to a dead end, right?” This tone of negotiation was also laced with an undertone of his usual authoritarian decree.
Chi Enen now just felt sick!
Utterly sick!
Seeing this man in front of her acting all sheepish, she was disgusted!
More than disgusted, she felt it was unfair for her mom!
Falling for the wrong person, losing her life, and not even getting a simple “why” in return?
She wasn’t listening to anything else, and through gritted teeth, she shouted at Chi Jianguo, who was still trying to play the role of a kind father, “Get out!”
Chi Jianguo was dumbstruck by her single command to leave. He immediately looked stern and pulled out the usual family card, “Enen, who are you talking to? Who taught you to talk to your own dad like that?”
“Get out!” Chi Enen didn’t want to hear the word “dad” from his mouth anymore; it was disgusting and ironic! It made her feel like the family affection she had cherished for over twenty years was just a joke! Inside that cold, cold home, everyone knew the truth except for her, the one who kept yielding time and again, only to be taken further advantage of by these people because she cared!
Chi Jianguo’s face darkened further, just about to scold Chi Enen.
The ward’s door was suddenly kicked open violently from the outside.
The man who entered, his face cold as if he had come from hell, dragged in a trembling doctor, his sharp gaze on him as if intending to tear him to pieces.
Chi Jianguo’s heart instantly froze, and all the scolding words he had were stuck in his throat. He glanced at Chi Enen, then at the expressionless man standing there. Although the man hadn’t said a word, Chi Jianguo felt a suffocating oppression. He gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to say to the person on the sickbed, “Enen, I’ll come to see you another day.”
Then, he left the ward in a disarray…
Chi Enen suddenly felt as if all her strength had left her, collapsing onto the bed like a doll whose soul had been instantly drained.
Li Beijue let go of the doctor he had been dragging all the way and quickly stepped forward, pressing down on her shoulders and barking, “Chi Enen, are you a pig? I’ve only been gone for ten minutes, and you’ve done this to yourself, do you want to see me in heartache until I drop dead of comfort?”
