At that moment, Chi Xuecha was feeling wronged in the office. Despite his usual dissatisfaction with her behavior, Team Leader Chi couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for his daughter. Especially after Chi Xuecha's exaggerated display of sorrow, which amplified her grievances by more than double.
Leaning against her father's chest, she cried and complained, "Why is my life so hard? I was beaten and bullied! Dad, my hand hurts, and my face hurts too!"
Team Leader Chi immediately thought of the time when Chi Xuecha got married, and his heart ached for her. He gently patted her back and urged her to sit up, asking, "Little Xue, how did you end up fighting with Lu Zheng's wife for no reason? It can't just be over a watch!"
Lu Zheng's wife wasn't an unstable person; he had seen her before and knew what kind of girl she was. "I can't just listen to your side of the story; I need to hear hers as well."
Chi Xuecha hesitated and panicked, a fleeting expression crossing her face that didn't escape Team Leader Chi's notice. He wasn't foolish; otherwise, he wouldn't have reached his position as a team leader.
Feeling somewhat defeated, he closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, he looked at Chi Xuecha with a mix of anger and sadness.
Chi Xuecha cried out in distress, "Dad, she hit me! I don’t even know why! I only mentioned the watch, and she misunderstood my relationship with Lu Zheng! That's why she got jealous and hit me! I swear I'm not lying!"
Lu Zheng glanced at the watch on the table before suddenly turning his gaze to Guan Weiguang, his eyes filled with inquiry and scrutiny.
Guan Weiguang couldn't meet Lu Zheng's gaze; when their eyes met unexpectedly, he could only manage an apologetic smile.
Lu Zheng's expression turned cold as he looked at him; the warmth in his eyes seemed to drop. He picked up the watch from the table and asked Chi Xuecha, "How did you know I bought my wife a watch like this?"
"I... I saw it by chance," she stammered.
Lu Zheng set the watch down with a faint smile. "I only gave my wife this watch at noon today. This afternoon, you managed to find her with the exact same watch and say these things."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "I remember this watch was delivered this morning. It wasn't available yesterday. Can I ask where you bought it?"
Chi Xuecha stared blankly at Lu Zheng, her mouth slightly agape but unable to find the words to respond.
Guan Weiguang looked at Chixuecha with a hint of anxiety, wanting to step forward to help explain, but was stopped by Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng shot him a warning glance, and they both understood the unspoken message in each other's eyes. Guan Weiguang felt a pang of sadness as he looked at Lu Zheng, then at Chixuecha, letting out a dejected sigh. However, he took a step back.
Chixuecha noticed Guan Weiguang's movement and shot him an angry glare before hesitantly trying to explain to Lu Zheng. "I—I only saw it by chance this morning. I happened to see it, then bought it, and then I coincidentally found out what kind of watch I bought for my wife. I also happened to run into her and heard some ambiguous remarks."
Once those words were out, even the dullest person would understand what was going on. They didn’t even know what kind of watch Lu Zheng had bought for his wife. How did Chixuecha find out amidst this series of coincidences and then clash with Wen Qian?
Time was tight. It was barely afternoon, not even mealtime yet; how could all these coincidences happen in such a short span? Unless it was deliberately arranged!
She had been lying in wait!
"No, I heard it from someone in the family compound. They mentioned it, and that’s how I knew."
"My wife usually doesn’t go out in the afternoon, and I haven’t mentioned it to anyone else. How did those people in the compound find out?"
Chixuecha quickly countered, "No! Wen Qian went out this afternoon; she went to Wang Baotian's house to sew clothes and didn’t come out for quite a while."
As soon as Chixuecha finished speaking, she realized she had fallen into a trap—she had inadvertently revealed her own surveillance of Wen Qian!
A group of people looked at her knowingly. They murmured that Lu Zheng's wife wasn’t the type to act recklessly or impulsively. Yet Chixuecha seemed a bit suspicious!
After all these years entangled with Lu Zheng, it was hard not to question her intentions.
Flustered, Chixuecha stumbled over her words as she tried to explain, "I didn’t wait for her on purpose; I just ran into her by accident! When I bumped into her, she had just come out from Wang Baotian's house."
"Wait, wait!"
Chi Xuecha looked at their reactions and decided to take the plunge. Even if I was deliberately waiting for her, that doesn't justify her hitting me. How could she hit someone? I haven't done anything wrong; I merely spoke a few extra words.
She broke down in tears and walked towards Lu Zheng, wanting to grab his arm, but he dodged her.
"Lu Zheng, I just want to be with you! You don't like that ugly woman; I'm younger and prettier than her. Why can't you like me?"
"Lu Zheng, I really like you! I've liked you for so many years; I've pursued you for so long. I've even given up my pride and dignity for you. Just look at me!"
Chi Xuecha cried out, shouting these words as she felt herself collapsing into hysteria.
Lu Zheng looked at her with indifference. "I never agreed to anything with you. To be more precise, I've been rejecting you from the very beginning."
"And I don’t love my wife any less. I care for her deeply and love my son as well. We are a happy family."
"You have only been a disturbance to me all this time. I've warned you countless times."
Chi Xuecha stopped crying; tears streaked down her cheeks as she stared at Lu Zheng, her eyes wide in disbelief.
"No, no! You can't really think that way! You're just lying to me on purpose, trying to make me back off!"
She suddenly lunged forward, gripping Lu Zheng's shirt tightly, her eyes wide as she questioned him. "Lu Zheng, you don't really think that way, do you? You're just pretending to deceive me! You don't actually like Wen Qian, that ugly woman! What does she have that’s good?"
"Lu Zheng, I can wait for you to get a divorce. I've waited this long; I can wait a little longer."
Chi Xuecha pleaded, tears glistening in her eyes as she gazed at Lu Zheng, hoping for a positive answer.
Guan Weiguang couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward softly calling out to Chi Xuecha. "Xiao Xue, don’t do this."
Captain Chi sat down heavily on a chair, his chest aching with anger as he glared at Chi Xuecha with bloodshot eyes.
Looking at his shameless daughter!
