Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chu Zhongyuan did not expect Chu Qingzhi to be so rude to him. He felt humiliated. “Qingzhi, I’ve raised you for 15 years. You should at least be grateful for the love and care I gave you.”

“Love and care?” Chu Qingzhi sneered. “Where were you when Wang Peifang didn’t let me eat? Where were you when Wang Peifang hit me? Where were you when I was sick and couldn’t get up?”

Chu Zhongyuan did not look surprised. Clearly, he knew, but he would not admit it in front of so many people.

He pretended to be shocked. “Wang Peifang didn’t let you eat? She even hit you?”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Zhongyuan coldly and snorted. “I remember that you were there when Wang Peifang pulled my ear and pinched my arm, right?”

Chu Zhongyuan was extremely embarrassed. Facing Chu Qingzhi’s eyes, he felt inexplicably guilty. “I’ve let you down, but we’ve lived together for 15 years. We still have feelings, right?”

Chu Qingzhi said coldly, “I’m sorry. When you chased me out of the house, our relationship was over.”

Chu Zhongyuan said matter-of-factly, “Which parent in the world doesn’t beat and scold their child? Don’t tell me you are going to hate us for the rest of your life because of that.”

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes were like ice with any feelings. “I’m sorry, I’m a vengeful person and will hate you for the rest of my life.”

Chu Zhongyuan felt that he had already lowered his attitude enough, but Chu Qingzhi was still so aggressive. He was a little impatient. “Chu Qingzhi, I’ve raised you for 15 years. Are you going to forget it just like that?”

He’s revealing his true colors… Chu Qingzhi laughed coldly, her tone flat. “Then what do you want?”

“Shouldn’t you repay me a little?” Chu Zhongyuan said darkly.

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes darkened. “What do you want me to repay you?”

Chu Zhongyuan said in a commanding tone, “The county magistrate has a few businesses that he wants to collaborate with merchants. Help me get them.”

Chu Qingzhi’s killing intent surged, but she looked normal on the surface. “Before I help you, you have to answer a question.”

Chu Zhongyuan was overjoyed. “Tell me.”

Chu Qingzhi looked into the depths of Chu Zhongyuan’s eyes and asked on behalf of the dead Chu Qingzhi, “Do you really treat me as your daughter?”

“Of course,” Chu Zhongyuan replied without hesitation. As long as she could bring him benefits, what did it matter if she was really his daughter or not?

Chu Qingzhi’s anger and killing intent erupted at the same time, but she still looked very calm. “Do you miss me very much?”

Chu Zhongyuan replied without hesitation, “Of course. I’m your father. 1 watched you grow up. I definitely miss you.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded and said softly, “Alright, go and accompany her.”

Chu Zhongyuan did not hear it clearly. “What did you say?” At the same time, he felt a pain in his chest, but it quickly disappeared.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Zhongyuan coldly. “I didn’t say anything. Go back and wait for news.” News of your death!

Chu Zhongyuan asked amiably, “When are you going to talk to the county magistrate?”

Chu Qingzhi said calmly, “I’ll go tomorrow. There’ll probably be news in three to four days.”

Chu Zhongyuan said happily, “Then come and tell me immediately when there’s news.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Okay.”

Having achieved his goal, Chu Zhongyuan turned around and left in satisfaction. As long as he obtained the businesses in the county magistrate’s hands, he would never have to listen to Wang Peifang again.

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Zhongyuan’s departing figure and said to the dead Chu Qingzhi in her heart, “Since they miss you so much, I’ll get them to accompany you.”

Li Qingyu rushed out of the house and grabbed Chu Qingzhi’s hand with heartache. “Qingzhi, how can we commoners go to the county magistrate to discuss business? You can’t go.”

After saying that, she shouted at Chu Zhongyuan, “If you want to go, go yourself. My daughter won’t go.”

Chu Zhongyuan turned around and glared at Li Qingyu angrily. “Let me tell you, she has already agreed. She has to go.”

Li Qingyu insisted, “I won’t let her go. You don’t love her, but 1 love her. The thing 1 regret the most in my life is letting you take Qingzhi away. Now that Qingzhi is back, she has nothing to do with you.”

Chu Zhongyuan was completely furious. “Nothing to do with me? I raised her for fifteen years!”

Li Qingyu also exploded with anger. “You raised her for 15 years, but you also made her suffer for 15 years. Now, she’s my daughter, not yours. You have no right to ask her to do anything.”

Chu Zhongyuan pointed at Li Qingyu with a fierce gaze. “You vicious woman and ingrate!”

Li Qingyu met his gaze. She had to protect her daughter today. “You are the ingrate! You took my daughter away and didn’t treat her well. She must have suffered a lot. Now, get lost!”

Chu Zhongyuan started to be shameless. “I can get lost, but you have to compensate me for the money 1 spent on her all these years.”

Li Qingyu said very firmly, “I’ll compensate you no matter how much you say. You’re not allowed to look for my daughter again.”

Chu Zhongyuan asked for an exorbitant price. “She spent at least 100 taels of silver a year in our family. Fifteen years is 1,500 taels of silver. Give it to me.” contemporary romance

Everyone gasped. Chu Zhongyuan was so shameless.

“You’re really shameless. You actually have the cheeks to ask for 1,500 taels of silver.” Li Qingyu was even angrier. “150 taels!”

Chu Zhongyuan was naturally unwilling, hiis gaze fierce. “150 taels? Do you think I’m a beggar?!”

Li Qingyu was a little afraid, but she still protected Chu Qingzhi tightly. “Then get lost. I won’t give you a penny.”

Chu Zhongyuan looked around and threatened, “Either you give me the money or go to the county magistrate to discuss business for me. Otherwise, I’ll bring people to smash your house tomorrow!”

Li Qingyu retorted. “Come and smash it. I can report it to the authorities! If you dare to smash our house, you’ll be imprisoned for life!”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Li Qingyu with admiration.

The village chief also stepped forward and shouted angrily, “If you dare to bring people here tomorrow, we’ll make sure you won’t be able to return!”

The men in the village stepped forward one by one. Everyone had earned money and eaten well in the past few months and had gained a lot of weight. At this moment, they looked tall and strong, revealing their muscular arms. They were quite intimidating!

Chu Zhongyuan looked at Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. “If you have the balls, come.”

“Get out of the Chu Village now, or we’ll release the dogs to beat you!”

“Village Chief, capture him and bury him alive. No one knows that he came to our village anyway. Even if someone knows, as long as we don’t admit it, they can’t do anything to us..”
