"Your favorite casserole chicken," Yan Qingqing said with a smile. "Go wash your hands and eat."
Chi Jiao nodded and quickly replied in the group chat that she was fine and that there was no need to worry. Then, she jumped off the sofa and ran to the washroom.
Yan Qingqing placed the casserole on the dining table and her eyes darkened.
There was something wrong with Jiaojiao's expression just now.
Thinking about it carefully, Jiaojiao's temperament had changed subtly the day she announced that she was returning to the Chi family.
Could it be that the Chi family had done something that caused their Little Jiaojiao's temperament to change drastically?
If that was the case, then the Chi family was really unforgivable.
At this thought, a gloomy expression flashed across Yan Qingqing's exquisite face.
When she heard Chi Jiao coming out of the washroom, a gentle smile quickly appeared on Yan Qingqing's face. "I'll bring out the other dishes. Sit down and wait first."
When she reached the kitchen, Yan Qingqing took out her phone and sent a text message.
[Big Brother, the Chi family might have bullied Jiaojiao. I think there's something wrong with her.]
She had just sent the message when she immediately received Yan Zhengchen's reply.
[I'll look for Chi Mingwei personally tomorrow.]
When Yan Qingqing saw this, she was instantly relieved.
With her big brother around, the Chi family would definitely give them face.
Don't think that their Jiaojiao was easy to bully because she had a strong backing.
*****
It was already 9 PM when Chi Jiao returned to the Chi family after dinner.
Chi Mingwei was waiting for her in the living room. When he saw her return, he waved at her and gestured for her to come over.
Chi Jiao walked to his side and sat down. Chi Mingwei smiled and asked, "It's your first day of school today. How do you feel?"
"Not bad," Chi Jiao replied with a faint smile.
Chi Mingwei didn't know what had happened to Chi Jiao in school. He nodded slightly. "If you encounter any problems in school, you can ask your sister for help."
Chi Jiao nodded with a smile.
"Jiaojiao, there's something else." Chi Mingwei rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"Daddy, just ask what you want to ask."
"Where did you get the Nine Star Flower?" Chi Mingwei asked.
"Daddy, you want the Nine Star Flower too?" Chi Jiao looked at him with her clear eyes.
Chi Mingwei was a little embarrassed by her gaze and his face heated up.
He knew that it was wrong to covet his daughter's things, but today, Shen Yin came looking for him and said that he needed the Nine Star Flower to treat his old man's illness. The Chi family had business dealings with the Shen family. If they offended the Shen family, it wouldn't be good for the Chi family.
That was why he shamelessly came to ask Jiaojiao about it.
"It's my father's business partner. He's asking about the Nine Star Flower. Their old master is sick and needs the Nine Star Flower to treat his illness, "Chi Mingwei said.
Chi Jiao nodded. "I still have a lot of Nine Star Flowers here. I can give them to him."
Chi Mingwei was stunned when he heard Chi Jiao's casual words.
Did his daughter know how precious the Nine Stars Flower was?
How could he just give it away like that?
"Daddy, is there a problem?" Chi Jiao asked curiously when she saw him staring at her in a daze.
"Jiaojiao, you know how precious the Nine Star Flower is, right?" Chi Mingwei asked.
Chi Jiao nodded.
It was very precious in the eyes of others, but in her eyes, it was just an ordinary item. She could cultivate as many as she wanted.
Chi Mingwei felt that his daughter was really too innocent and adorable. She clearly knew how precious it was, but she still gave it away without hesitation. She was really as kind as her mother.
