"If I knew you were like this, I would have left you to fend for yourself in the orphanage back then." Chi Mingwei felt that the biggest mistake he had made was bringing Quan Jue to the Chi family.
"Do you really think I don't know who caused me to become an orphan?" Quan Jue sneered.
His gentle tone was like a heavy thunderclap that exploded in Chi Mingwei's ears, causing his expression to instantly turn flustered.
"When … when did you find out?" Chi Mingwei's voice was obviously unstable.
"You'll have to pay back what you owe me sooner or later." Quan Jue didn't answer him. After saying this indifferently, he turned around and left.
This time, Chi Mingwei didn't have the courage to call out to him again. He was still in a state of shock and couldn't recover from it.
He had always thought that Quan Jue didn't know about that matter.
But from the looks of it, Quan Jue had probably known about it a long time ago.
Was that why Quan Jue was so hostile to the Chi family?
When Chi Jiao woke up, the person sitting in front of her was Chi Mingwei.
"Dad?" She blinked her eyes in confusion, and her originally sweet voice became a little hoarse.
"Jiaojiao, how are you feeling now? Do you need to apply for leave to go to the hospital? "Chi Mingwei asked with a loving smile.
Chi Jiao didn't understand why she didn't see Quan Jue when she woke up after accidentally falling asleep. Instead, she saw her father.
"No need, Dad. Where's Brother Quan?" Chi Jiao asked.
When Chi Mingwei saw that Chi Jiao asked about Quan Jue the moment she woke up, the smile on his face almost collapsed.
"He went back to class. It's already five in the afternoon." Chi Mingwei hid the awkwardness in his eyes.
Chi Jiao: "!!!"
She had actually slept for so long?!
"I've already applied for leave from your teacher. We can go home directly now." Chi Mingwei felt that he had to accompany Jiaojiao properly so that she would pay less attention to Quan Jue. "Daddy will have dinner with you tonight, okay?"
Chi Jiao hummed in agreement.

Zhu Limin was surprised to see Chi Mingwei and Chi Jiao returning home together.
Chi Mingwei explained to Zhu Limin why they had come back together. Zhu Limin hurriedly asked about Chi Jiao's well-being before instructing the chef at home to cook lighter dishes tonight.
After Chi Jiao returned to her room, Zhu Limin smiled and said to Chi Mingwei, "Yanyan isn't eating at home tonight. Little Ze is doing his homework." “
"Where did Yanyan go?" Chi Mingwei asked indifferently.
Because of the forum post, he still had a grudge against Chi Yan. Therefore, when he mentioned her, his attitude wasn't as warm as before.
"Today is the mayor's wife's birthday. The mayor took the opportunity to hold a charity dinner. Yan Yan has a good relationship with the mayor's daughter, so she received an invitation. "Zhu Limin said with a smile.
Chi Mingwei nodded faintly.
Zhu Limin saw that Chi Mingwei's expression remained indifferent, and a trace of darkness flashed across her eyes.
"Originally, Yanyan wanted to bring Jiaojiao to see the world, but the relationship between the two sisters is tense now, so …" Zhu Limin continued.
"Jiaojiao doesn't like crowded places, and she doesn't need to socialize too much. Chi Mingwei said.
Zhu Limin almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face. She felt that Chi Mingwei was deliberately criticizing her, but she had no evidence.
After Chi Jiao returned to her room, she took out some medicine to regulate her stomach and swallowed it.
Her phone suddenly vibrated. When Chi Jiao saw that it was an unfamiliar number, she answered the call indifferently.
