Chapter 02 Not every child who tells a lie will grow a long nose 4
When we returned to Chi's house, it was already past seven in the evening.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Yao Haiyan's mother guarding the door.
She glanced at me gloomily, then relaxed her stiff expression, bent over and said to Chi Yanze: "Master, the master is waiting for you in the room."
I'm sure I heard it right, it's not "wait for you", but "wait for you guys".
It's over. I suddenly have a bad feeling. Mr. Chi wants to see me, it must be something bad. He will definitely ask why we came back now.
I followed Mother Yao tremblingly, and couldn't help but reach out and grab the corner of Chi Yanze's clothes, trying to ease my inner anxiety.
Sure enough, as soon as we walked into the living room, we saw Mr. Chi, with an arrogant figure and a stern expression, standing in the middle of the living room, staring at us with cold eyes.
When I entered the room, I let go of Chi Yanze's clothes, and he looked at me in .
"Why did you come back so late today?"
Mr. Chi did not ask his son, but looked directly at me. It seemed that he knew that if he asked Chi Yanze, he might not get an answer.
I heard from Yao's mother that Chi Yanze usually doesn't talk to his father.
"I sprained my neck and he took me to the hospital."
I pointed to my stiff neck and whispered the truth. I didn't dare to look at the scary expression on Mr. Chi's face, so I lowered my eyes.
If I could move my neck, I'd be keeping my head very low right now.
Chi Xinjian snorted coldly and stopped talking. He just looked at Chi Yanze with an inquiring look, as if to see if he was injured.
When I remembered something and tried to cover it up, it was too late. Chi Xinjian's cold gaze had already fallen on Chi Yanze's nose with a Band-Aid on it.
"What's going on? What did you two do in school today? Why do you both come back injured?" With a "bang", Mr. Chi stretched out his hand and slammed the table hard, roaring at me in a deep and powerful voice.
I shuddered all over and my heart started beating rapidly.
Seeing Chi Yanze pursed his lips, as if thinking about how to answer, I rushed to him.
This guy is so honest. If I tell the truth to Mr. Chi and his father finds out that his nose was injured because of me, wouldn’t I be in trouble?
"Report!" I raised my hand and waved it in front of Mr. Chi, shouting anxiously.
Mr. Chi was startled by me. He frowned and waited for me to continue with a look of disgust.
"It's Cheng Xijun! Everything is Cheng Xijun's fault. He always leads people to bully Chi Yanze. His nose was broken by Cheng Xijun, and I... I..." I turned my head and blinked at the shocked Chi Yanze, then squeezed out a few tears, turned around and continued to face Mr. Chi, crying. "And I hurt my neck in order to save Chi Yanze. Woo... Mr. Chi, Cheng Xijun is really abominable. He even said to me, 'Do you know who I am? How dare you mess with me?' But, no matter how powerful their family is, how can they bully Chi Yanze? Bullying me is fine, but how can they bully the young master?"
Cheng Xijun, I'm going to kill you this time.
I don’t care who you are. Once Mr. Chi takes action, you’re dead.
Ha ha!
"Cheng Xijun is Mr. Cheng's son?"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chi did not get angry immediately. Instead, he turned around with a gloomy face and asked Mother Yao who was standing beside him.
"Yes, sir, he is Mr. Cheng's eldest son. When he was little, he often came here to play with the young master." Mother Yao said respectfully.
Mr. Chi was silent for a while, and no one knew what he was thinking.
I couldn't laugh anymore and I felt a little scared.
After all this time, it turns out that Cheng Xijun and Chi Yanze have known each other for a long time.
When they were young, they often came to play together. Weren't they very close? Then why did he always bully Chi Yanze?
The most shocking thing is yet to come——
After being silent for a while, Mr. Chi gritted his teeth and said with an angry look, "I didn't expect that the old man would cause trouble for me in the business world, and the young man would do the same. My son, Chi Xinjian, is not the son of Cheng Guanghua who can bully him! Aunt Yao, call Secretary Liu, I need to talk to him about something."
After saying this, Mr. Chi went upstairs, and Mother Yao went to make a phone call. Only Chi Yanze and I were left in the living room.
“Phew…that was close.”
Seeing that there was no one around, I took a deep breath. My fever hadn't completely subsided yet, and my legs went limp and I sat down on the ground.
Chi Yanze came over and pulled me up, with a cold look on his face.
I looked at him suspiciously, wondering what had made him angry and why did he look so unhappy?
"Hey! Why are you looking so stern? Now that your dad knows about this, Cheng Xijun won't bully you anymore."
Hearing what I said, Chi Yanze glanced at me and said coldly: “You lied.”
"Where did I lie? Most of it is true!"
Although I felt a little guilty, I still showed a disdainful expression on my face, raised my head high and argued cunningly.
Chi Yanze said stubbornly: "It's just a lie."
"You are the only one who doesn't lie, so you are always bullied by Cheng Xijun."
Chi Yanze was silent again.
When I thought he would stop talking, he spoke again, with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Don't tell the adults."
"why not?"
If you get bullied outside, can't you tell him when you get home?
"You can't keep swallowing your anger. Because of this, Cheng Xijun has the courage to bully you. You can't be like this. You have to fight back when you should, otherwise everyone will bully you."
I told Chi Yanze my summary of experience, but Chi Yanze just stared at me blankly, with an unspeakable meaning in his dark eyes.
"you've changed."
"I……"
This was the first time Chi Yanze said these words to me, and the first time I was speechless.
I am not Yao Haiyan, so of course am different from the Yao Haiyan he remembers. Since I was six years old, my parents died in a car accident, and I have lived with my aunt. My aunt often didn't come back for days and nights, so I had to find ways to fill my stomach, so I had to learn these survival skills. Sometimes I even lied to avoid getting hurt.
No one protects me, I can only learn to protect myself.
I have been living like this for many years.
But Chi Yanze doesn't seem to like people lying, but in my opinion, this is not a bad habit.
I am not the real Yao Haiyan, so he has no right to ask me to become as good as the little girl in his memory.
"Well, at worst I won't do that anymore. From now on, I will only tell white lies."
I suppressed the bitterness in my eyes and smiled at Chi Yanze.
He looked at me and said nothing.
I didn't say anything more because I saw Yao's mother coming over after the phone call. She winked at me, indicating that it was time for me to leave.
Indeed, now that I am Yao Haiyan, the housekeeper’s daughter, I cannot stay in the mansion for too long. I should go back to Yao Haiyan’s home after school.
However, if I were not Yao Haiyan, but just Ruo Qiqi, perhaps in the eyes of others, my status would be even more humble.
Forget it, why think so much?
I just want to live a happy life.
