Chapter 14: Toad thinks he is the King of the Sea just by getting a little water!
Chi Manning was almost driven to the point of having a heart attack by her beloved son.
At this time, Zhou Mingzhang, whose face had turned completely black, asked in a cold voice:
“How much did you give that woman!”
Chi Manning was stunned and dodged again, "It's... not much..."
"How much is a little? I want to hear the truth!"
"Just, just 50 million..."
"How many?!!!"
Zhou Mingzhang's voice instantly rose eight degrees, "Fifty million?! You actually gave that woman fifty million!"
His expression suddenly turned ferocious, and it was obvious that he could no longer control his emotions.
"Mingzhang, listen to my explanation... I'm worried that she'll pester Chengfeng again, so I want to get rid of her once and for all, that's why..."
Chi Manning was frightened and wanted to explain immediately.
But Zhou Mingzhang's eyes, which had instantly turned red, just locked onto her coldly. He stared at her fiercely for a few seconds before saying with a forced smile, "Good! Good! Good! You and your son are really great!"
"I painstakingly arranged such a good marriage, and it was ruined by you and your son!"
"Good! That's really good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to reach out and grab the teacup on the coffee table.
But when he reached out to the table, he found that he had already thrown the teacup at Zhou Chengfeng's feet.
He snorted twice, then withdrew his hand angrily and stopped looking at them.
Seeing this, Chi Manning also shut up in disappointment.
Knowing that Zhou Mingzhang was very angry and would not listen to anything she said, she lowered her eyelids slightly and quickly calmed down.
After just a few breaths, she raised her head again and looked at Li Siwei with calm eyes.
"Si Wei, can I ask who gave you these things?"
"Do you doubt the authenticity of this information?" Li Siwei asked instead of answering, and her clear eyes looked back at Chi Manning without any fear.
"Auntie just thinks you're young and is afraid you'll be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."
Chi Manning regained her composure, her smile returning to its previous gentleness. "After all, the marriage between the Zhou and Li families is a big deal in the upper class circles of Haicheng. There are always those with ill intentions."
"Since Chengfeng has done something wrong, we will definitely give you and your parents a satisfactory answer, but..."
The corners of her lips curved slightly. "Auntie thinks that it's best for us to solve our own family affairs behind closed doors. If we allow outsiders to interfere, wouldn't it be a joke for others to see, don't you think?"
When Zhou Mingzhang heard this, his expression did not change, but his eyes secretly swept towards them.
When Li Siwei heard this, she just lowered her head and smiled.
This is her point!
"Aunt Chi, you're overthinking it. I discovered this by accident, so I paid a private detective to investigate." She smiled, "I just didn't expect to find so much."
Glancing at the papers scattered on the floor, Li Siwei's words were full of sarcasm.
Chi Manning, who was sitting opposite the sofa, couldn't help but squint.
No one gave her?
An accidental discovery is the beginning of an investigation?
Could it be that I really am overthinking it...
Thinking back to what his third brother Chi Yuheng said to her when he saw her off at the engagement party, Chi Manning's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
Is it really not the third brother who is helping her secretly?
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound brought Chi Manning back to his senses.
At the same time, it once again attracted the attention of Zhou Mingzhang and his son.
Placing the USB drive that had been prepared long ago on the coffee table, Li Siwei smiled with her lips curved.
"I'd thought that Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chi might have doubts about the contents of the file, so before I left, I specially prepared this USB drive and copied all the complete videos of the relevant materials into it. If you two have any questions, you can open it and take a look later."
"Also, regarding my proposal to cancel the engagement with Mr. Zhou and dissolve the engagement between our two families, I will inform my parents later. The specific details of the cancellation will be discussed in detail by my parents and family with Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chi."
After she finished speaking, she looked up at the housekeeper who was still standing upright holding the "family rules".
"It seems that Uncle Zhou still has some family matters to deal with, so I, an outsider, won't stay any longer."
"If there was anything abrupt about what happened today, I hope Uncle Zhou, for the sake of the friendship between the Li and Zhou families, will not take it personally. Of course, the reason I chose to come here in person and speak frankly about this matter today was because I had thought it over again and again, and I felt that this move would best preserve the Zhou family's reputation."
"I believe Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chi will understand my efforts."
Nodding slightly, she picked up her bag and said with a smile, "Then I won't stay any longer. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he glanced at Zhou Chengfeng who was in the way, and then he endured the pain in his ankle and walked sideways quickly.
Unexpectedly, just after she took two or three steps away, Zhou Chengfeng reacted and grabbed her arm.
"Li Siwei, you're screwing me!"
Zhou Chengfeng's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth, "Tell me! Who told you this? And why did you go to so much trouble to prepare so much?"
An iron-like hand grasped Li Siwei's arm, forcing her to turn around and look at him.
"Oh! And you still say we're not childhood sweethearts and have no feelings for each other! Is this why you've been engaged to me for four years and haven't let me get close to you?"
"Tell me the truth, have you already had someone you like? Are you doing this today just to put all the blame on me?"
"..."
Squinting her eyes speechlessly, Li Siwei wanted to shake his hand off.
But after shaking it twice, his palm still didn't move at all.
Her forehead twitched, and she suppressed her anger and said:
"Let go!"
"I won't let go!"
Zhou Chengfeng raised his chin slightly and leaned forward a step. "If you don't explain it to me clearly today, don't even think about letting me go!"
After struggling twice and finding that she still couldn't break free, Li Siying turned to look at Zhou Mingzhang and his wife who were still sitting steadily on the sofa. Seeing that they had no intention of stopping her, she cursed under her breath.
"If you have a mental illness, go get treatment. Why are you throwing tantrums at me?"
The good temper she had tried so hard to maintain was completely exhausted. Li Siwei gritted her teeth, "Just because a toad touched the water, you think you are the King of the Sea!"
"If you like cheating and two-timing, go find your soft little darling! Don't get close to me!"
"Also! For Grandpa Zhou's sake, I'm kindly reminding you again, if you cheat too much, you might get your balls ripped!"
After saying that, she swung her arm and smashed the bag in her other hand fiercely towards Zhou Chengfeng's face.
"what--!!!"
Zhou Chengfeng was hit in the face unexpectedly.
The huge bag and its metal buckle hit him hard on the forehead.
Zhou Chengfeng cried out in pain and immediately let go, and Li Siying took the opportunity to break free from his shackles.
"Ah! Riding the wind!"
"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Chi Manning jumped out from the sofa and ran straight towards Zhou Chengfeng.
While examining his face with concern, he looked at Li Siwei with displeasure.
"Si Wei, how could you be so harsh!"
"Even if you're angry, you shouldn't hit him with your bag!"
"You hit me so hard! What if my face is disfigured or my eyes are injured?"
Li Siwei shook her arm, which was painfully gripped, sneered, then turned around and continued walking out.
But just as she took a step forward, someone grabbed her shoulder, and then she was flipped over with great force, and her ankle was twisted again without her preparedness.
However, before she could scream in pain, she caught a glimpse of the furious Zhou Chengfeng raising his hand high, as if to slap her in the face.
Under normal circumstances, she, who often went out with her third brother to do extreme sports, would have to compete with Zhou Chengfeng, the coward, no matter what.
But now her ankle hurts, and she can't even maintain her balance, let alone exert force.
I cursed inwardly: Today is really Mercury retrograde!
Li Siwei closed her eyes helplessly and tried to move sideways to avoid the vital parts...
However, the expected pain did not come, instead the hand holding her shoulder suddenly loosened.
Then came a howl even sharper than the last one, almost piercing Li Siwei's fragile eardrum.
"what--!!!"
"who!"
"Who the hell hit me!"
