Mrs. Chi shook her hands off. Bewildered and annoyed, she questioned her fiercely, “What’s wrong with you, why are you forcing me to live with you out of the blue? I’m living perfectly well here.”

Chi Rui’er could not express what she wanted to say. Seeing her mother like that, she asked in a fit of anger, “Is it me or him? Make a choice. If you choose him, I’ll never return to this house ever again!”

Mrs. Chi was in an utter state of shock. “Are you forcing your mother? Rui’er, how could you be so heartless? Your biological father died early — he is the one who supported us and raised you. How could you say such words?”

Chi Rui’er sneered. “If Mother knew the truth, would you still say this?”

“What do you mean?”

“Since you chose him, then I’ll never return here again. You’ve lived with him for so many years and yet you can’t see his true colors. Since you’re willing to live in deceit, I’ve nothing to say about that. But this house, I’ll never step in here ever again.” She turned and called her men to follow. They then left immediately.

Mrs. Chi thought she was speaking out of spite, so she did not chase after her and let her leave.

After cooking and serving the dishes, she then remarked, “Rui’er insisted on me moving to her place. She said a bunch of stuff for no rhyme or reason.”

Mr. Chi replied without batting an eyelid, “She’s had something against me since she was young. After all, I’m not her biological father.”

“I didn’t leave with her, did I? I thought of what would happen to you if I were gone, you don’t cook or do any housework.” Mrs. Chi looked at him. “Rui’er’s old enough already. She’ll get married someday — it’d be somewhat inconvenient if I lived there, compared to living in our own house.”

“Why would you want to live in someone else’s house? You have to listen to others about everything. Even if she’s your own daughter, you’ll have to be at her disposal.”

Mrs. Chi nodded in agreement. “That’s right. I’ll be going for my church service in the afternoon.”

“You go then, leave your phone at home.”

“Okay.”

Chi Rui’er went home and ate. She received a message from her mother’s handphone getting her to come back alone, claiming that her stepfather was out and she wanted to have a good talk with her.

She thought for a moment. It was her own mother after all, so she made her way home again, this time alone.

“Mother?”

“Your mother’s gone to church.” Mr. Chi locked the door from the inside. Chi Rui’er turned and saw that it was him. Immediately outraged, she shrieked, “You sent that text with my mother’s phone?!”

“What a clever child.” Mr. Chi approached her while Chi Rui’er backed off rapidly.

“My men are still outside.”

“I’ve already looked out the window just now, there’s no one outside at all. You’re really obedient towards your mother.” His eyes twinkled with amusement. “Your dad would probably never have expected, his wife and daughter are both my women — when I die and meet him, I must definitely brag about this to him.”

Chi Rui’er’s face stiffened and she cursed him furiously, “Yang Yongcai, you’ll die a horrible death!”

Mr. Chi gave a cold smile, went forward, and grabbed Chi Rui’er’s neck forcefully. “Scold me — come on, continue scolding me — I’m listening.”
