Chapter 29: I Won’t Apologize, Absolutely Not!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I already said that it wasn’t my fault, why do you need me to apologize!” Bei Qingqing gritted her teeth coldly. She should have known long ago that in this family, she was just an outsider.
“Bei Qingqing, it’s because you followed your foster mother that you’ve developed such a vile character. Looks like I’ll have to keep you away from your foster mother in the future!” Sun Hongmei said through gritted teeth.
Right now, Sun Hongmei did not care whose fault it was at all. Bei Qingqing actually became more and more stubborn ever since she married Chen Jiazhi. Now, she must teach Bei Qingqing a lesson to show how powerful she was!
Bei Qingqing’s heart ached. She was clearly her biological daughter, yet she was always treated as an outsider! Right now, it was clearly not her fault, yet her mother still wanted her to apologize. In order to achieve her goal, she actually used her adoptive mother to threaten her...
Bei Qingqing gritted her teeth and thought of her adoptive mother... For the sake of her adoptive mother, she had no choice but to compromise. However, before she could say the words ‘sorry’, she was interrupted by Chen Jiazhi.
“There are cameras everywhere in our house. Since Qingqing said that it was not her fault, I naturally believe her. If you insist on Qingqing apologizing, then why don’t we pull up the surveillance footage and take a look before we decide?” Even though Chen Jiazhi was not angry, his cold voice was filled with authority. His aura caused everyone present to feel intimidated.
Bei Bei’s expression changed. She raised her head and looked around. Not far away, there were several surveillance cameras from different angles. “There’s no need for that. I believe that sister doesn’t have any ill intentions. I won’t pursue the matter any further...” Bei Bei said guiltily.
If Chen Jiazhi pulled up the surveillance footage at this time, her threat to Bei Qingqing would be exposed. Where would she hide then?
Sun Hongmei looked at Bei Bei’s guilty look and immediately understood that Bei Bei must have added fuel to the fire and twisted the truth. She blamed Bei Qingqing in her heart. Why did she not tell Bei Bei that there were surveillance cameras here? Could it be that she had been waiting to see Bei Bei make a fool of herself?
Bei Qingqing was stunned after hearing Chen Jiazhi’s words. She quickly wiped her tears and looked at Chen Jiazhi gratefully.
“Yes, yes, there’s no need for that. These two daughters are my flesh and blood. How could I bear to see them fight?” Sun Hongmei had a fawning smile on her face, and Bei Yunsong also echoed from the side.
“What a joke! What kind of place do you think my Chen Residence is? You can make a scene if you want to, and then stop if you want to?” Chen Jiazhi’s face turned cold, and his eyes swept across the room.
The three Bei Family members were so scared that they did not dare to say anything.
“Butler Zhang! Go and pull up the surveillance footage!” Chen Jiazhi’s commanding tone resonated across the room.
The three Bei Family members stood frozen on the spot. Bei Bei’s face was especially pale, as if she would fall over at any moment. Not long after, Butler Zhang returned with a video. In the video was Bei Bei’s threat to Bei Qingqing. Housekeeper Zhang turned the volume of the video to the maximum, so everyone could hear it clearly.
Sun Hongmei shot Bei Qingqing a scathing look. She actually just stood there and did not even try to stop Chen Jiazhi. She just watched her sister lose face!
After the video was played, Bei Bei felt her legs go weak and almost collapsed.
Chen Jiazhi looked at the Bei Family’s reaction coldly, and his heart ached as he looked at the helpless Bei Qingqing. He did not expect that he had only been absent for a few minutes, but she had already suffered such a great grievance!
He would definitely make the Bei Family pay a price for this grievance!
Chapter 30: Kiss Me

“What now? Do you still need Qingqing to apologize to you?” Chen Jiazhi raised his eyebrows and asked coldly.
“No... There’s no need... We parents shouldn’t interfere with the small conflicts between the children...” Bei Yunsong felt Chen Jiazhi’s oppressive gaze as he spoke and quickly excused himself.
“Alright, since you don’t need an apology, then ask Bei Bei to apologize to my wife. You just want to laugh it off after bullying my Chen Family?” Chen Jiazhi pulled Bei Qingqing over and protected her by his side.
“What...” Bei Bei’s face was deathly pale. He actually wanted her to apologize to Bei Qingqing?
“Aiya, it’s normal for children to play around. I believe that Qingqing definitely won’t take it to heart. Sisters shouldn’t be fighting.” Sun Hongmei tried to mediate the situation by the side. Was he asking her precious daughter to apologize? How was that possible?
Bei Qingqing frowned. “When you asked me to apologize just now, you didn’t say such a thing.” Since they only recognized Bei Bei as their only daughter, then, she would just pretend that these parents did not exist.
Sun Hongmei glared at Bei Qingqing when she heard this. She did not expect Chen Jiazhi to see all of this.
“Really? It seems that Master Bei’s family doesn’t have good eyesight! They can’t even differentiate between their biological daughter and adopted daughter.” Chen Jiazhi said while playing with Bei Qingqing’s hand. Then, he said coldly, “If you can’t even differentiate right from wrong, then what can you hope to achieve in the business world?”
Bei Yunsong’s expression changed, and he looked at Chen Jiazhi in shock.
“Since the Bei family doesn’t have the capability, then the Chen Corporation’s investment in the Bei Family will no longer continue. From now on, we will withdraw the capital!”
Withdraw the capital!
These three simple words almost caused Bei Yunsong to fall to his knees. One had to know that the Bei Family’s current funds basically came from the Chen Corporation’s sponsorship. If Chen Jiazhi withdrew his capital at this critical moment, the capital chain would definitely be cut off, and the company would definitely go bankrupt.
Bei Bei and Sun Hongmei were also scared silly when they heard those words. If Chen Jiazhi did this, it would cut off their lifeline.
“Young Master Chen, it’s such a big matter. Please think about it. No matter what happens, the Bei Family is still Qingqing’s family!” Bei Yunsong quickly gave Bei Qingqing a look.
Bei Qingqing turned her head away. Only now did they want to recognize her as their daughter? No. She was not stupid.
“Qingqing is now a member of the Chen family. Isn’t the Bei Family’s daughter by your side?” Chen Jiazhi smiled playfully.
Bei Bei finally realized how much trouble she had caused. She pleaded in a flustered voice, “I was really just fooling around with sister. I didn’t do it on purpose...”
Seeing that Bei Bei was still trying to explain herself, Chen Jia Zhi covered his ears and turned around in disgust. “Butler Zhang, send the guests out!”
With the order to leave, the Bei Family members were completely dumbfounded, and just like that, the three of them were sent out dejectedly.
“Thank you for tonight.” There were only two of them left in the courtyard, and Bei Qingqing looked gratefully at Chen Jiazhi. If he had not stepped in for her tonight, she would have lowered her head and apologized to Bei Bei. For the sake of her foster mother, she would have been forced to submit to Bei Bei.
Chen Jiazhi raised his eyebrows and smiled. “You’re thanking me this way? I don’t feel the sincerity at all.”
Bei Qingqing widened her eyes foolishly. “Then how should I show my sincerity?”
Looking at Chen Jiazhi’s hand pressing down on her, Bei Qingqing suddenly reacted. She wanted to run but was pulled back by that pair of large hands. In an instant, she was hugged onto his leg. Bei Qingqing’s face was so red that it looked like it was about to explode.
Chen Jiazhi pressed his hands on her waist and leaned over to kiss her.
