Zhu Limin had set a rule for Quan Jue. Quan Jue was not allowed to say that he was a member of the Chi family outside. Usually, if the Chi family had guests, he could not show his face. He could only stay in the attic. Even when he ate, he had to bring the food back to his room and was not allowed to sit at the table.
Chi Mingwei did not care about this. It seemed that as long as Quan Jue could stay in this house, it was enough. As for whether he was doing well, Chi Mingwei did not care.
Growing up in such an environment, Quan Jue's personality gradually darkened, becoming cold and ruthless.
Later on, Quan Jue left the Chi family and disappeared for eight whole years.
In her previous life, the next time Chi Jiao saw Quan Jue was when he dug out her bones from the ground.
"Second Miss?" the maid called out worriedly when she remained silent.
Chi Jiao pulled back her wandering thoughts. "I'm going out for dinner with my brother. Tell Butler Zhou that he doesn't have to worry. "
With that, Chi Jiao turned around and returned to her room, closing the door.
The maid could only repeat what Chi Jiao said to Butler Zhou.
When Butler Zhou heard this, he only sneered. He got it.
Second Miss was indeed someone who grew up in the mountains. She was quite compatible with that little bastard.

Chi Jiao changed her clothes and went to Quan Jue's room.
Quan Jue lived alone in a small room in the attic. This was Chi Jiao's first time here.
With her hands behind her back, Chi Jiao paced back and forth outside the door, hesitating for a while.
She was worried that her sudden approach to Quan Jue would make him suspect that she had ulterior motives.
But she couldn't help but want to get close to him.
At that moment, Chi Jiao did not notice a pair of eyes looking at her through the peephole on the door.
Quan Jue heard footsteps outside the door and walked to the door to see what was going on outside through the peephole.
In the end, he saw Chi Jiao pacing back and forth in front of his door with her hands behind her back.
Judging from the expression on her face, she looked very conflicted.
It was as if she had encountered some difficult problem.
Quan Jue frowned and decided to ignore her. He walked back to his desk to read.
However, Chi Jiao's wrinkled face remained in Quan Jue's mind.
Taking a deep breath, Quan Jue slammed the book shut and stood up. He kicked the chair behind him away, walked to the door, and quickly opened it.
Standing outside the door, Chi Jiao had finally mentally prepared herself and thought of how to invite Quan Jue for dinner. Just as she was about to knock on the door, the wooden door suddenly opened from the inside. A cold-faced young man appeared in front of her.
"What's the matter?" Quan Jue looked down at Chi Jiao from above, his tone cold and emotionless.
Chi Jiao gave him a sweet smile that was like cotton candy. "Brother, Daddy and Auntie aren't at home. Let's go out for dinner."
She thought that this was a very normal invitation.
"I'm not free," Quan Jue said coldly and slammed the door shut.
Chi Jiao looked at the tightly shut door and blinked her innocent doe eyes.
Did she get rejected?
If she gave up just like that, she wouldn't be Chi Jiao anymore.
Therefore, Chi Jiao knocked on the door again.
Quan Jue, who had just walked back to the desk, rubbed his brows in frustration.
The knocking on the door made him unable to study at all. He had no choice but to open the door again.
"What exactly do you want?" This time, there was a hint of anger in his deep voice.
