Chapter 7: So Unlucky!

“What are you staring at? The coffee in your hand is already getting cold, why aren’t you bringing it over?” Chen Jiazhi looked at Bei Qingqing. After making the coffee, she actually did not bring it over. For some reason, she seemed to have spaced out in front of the desk, not moving at all. That absent-minded look did indeed have the temperament of a fool, but it was also cute and silly.

Bei Qingqing’s wandering thoughts were pulled back to reality and she quickly placed the coffee on the table.

“Alright, go to sleep, fool.” Chen Jiazhi took a closer look at Bei Qingqing. He could see some fatigue in her eyes. She must be tired after all this. This haggard look made Chen Jiazhi’s heart ache a little.

He subconsciously said, “I’ll go out to work.”

Then, he got the butler to push him to the study room.

Bei Qingqing felt a warmth in her heart. She did not expect Chen Jiazhi, the devil, to have such a heartwarming side. Bei Qingqing was so sleepy that could not care less. She lay on the soft bed and slept through the night.

The next morning, she woke up and saw a handsome face. It was Chen Jiazhi, but he was still sleeping soundly. She did not know what time he came back from work last night. Bei Qingqing thought about how Chen Jiazhi had slept on the same bed as her last night, and how close they were, and she felt a little shy.

As soon as Bei Qingqing went downstairs, she met Butler Zhang, who was going upstairs.

“First Lady, your family is here,” Butler Zhang informed her. She was shocked and wondered why Sun Hongmei would come here. However, the timing was just right. Now that Chen Jiazhi had woken up, she might not have to stay here anymore.

“Okay, I got it. Butler Zhang, you go ahead and do your work. I’ll go and see them myself.” Bei Qingqing smiled and nodded, then turned around and walked into the living room.

At that time, Sun Hongmei and her sister were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea.

“Sister, you’re here. How was it? Did you have a good wedding night with brother-in-law last night?” Bei Bei could not help but feel smug when she saw Bei Qingqing. Even if Bei Qingqing was Sun Hongmei’s biological daughter, she would not act coquettishly just to make her parents like her.

As a result, she was used as a substitute to marry that vegetable man in the adopted daughter’s stead. Bei Bei’s words were pure sarcasm.

“Two days ago, you and Chen Jiazhi were engaged. Now that I have to replace you to marry him, you actually changed your address to brother-in-law so quickly. You’re really half-hearted...” Bei Qingqing retorted. She could not stand Bei Bei’s attitude either.

“Bei Qingqing! How could you say that about your own sister?” Sun Hongmei heard the sarcasm in Bei Qingqing’s words and was instantly unhappy. In her heart, even if Bei Qingqing was her biological child, she did not have any feelings for her!

Bei Qingqing frowned and did not want to continue pestering her, she got straight to the point. “Mom, since you’re here today, I have something to ask you. Didn’t you promise me that as long as I’m married, you’ll take out 500,000 yuan to buy medicine for my mother? Why did I only receive 200,000 yuan from my card?”

As soon as he said this, Sun Hongmei’s eyes widened, as if someone had stepped on her tail. She pointed at Bei Qingqing and said, “What do you mean? You’re saying that I’m going back on my promise? You clearly said 200,000 yuan from the start. Don’t ask for too much. I’ve already given you too much favor by letting you marry into a family like the Chen Family. Don’t be ungrateful.” Sun Hongmei did not want to admit her debt, and she retaliated.
