"Are you that afraid of the company getting into trouble and losing your position? Throwing your authority around at someone unrelated to you, you're really something."
"I just won't let you. If you have the guts, call someone to arrest me right now. If you don't find some crime to pin on me today, I'm not done with you!"
Saying that, she didn't bother entering the elevator anymore, and returned to Hu Jiasheng with her laptop.
"I watched you report me, now report! Report!"
Unreasonable and impossible to deal with.
She really didn't know how someone like her could become friends with Jiang Nan Fang.
Hu Jiasheng glanced at her, bold and fiery, and moved a step to the side.
"Don't push it with me. I hate women who are unreasonable like you the most. I'll let you off this time."
"If you dare to show your face at the company again, I won't be so lenient."
With that, he strode towards his office.
Chen Jiaojiao snorted and cursed him a few times as he walked away.
What kind of person is he? A show-off who likes to flaunt his power!
Even Zhan Bei Jue isn't as pretentious and boastful as you are, it's disgusting.
After speaking, she stormed out of Zhan's.
Back home, she was bored and scrolling through her phone.
Suddenly, an old classmate sent her a WeChat message.
"You haven't been home for so long, and you don't even contact your family. Your father is going crazy looking for you."
"Due to excessive worry, he's been hospitalized for the past two days. You should go back and see him."
When Chen Jiaojiao heard this news, she was too happy to go back and see him.
"Didn't he get into a fight with me over that slut? Why would he miss me? I bet he wishes I'd die out here."
"He remembers me when he's sick, did that woman run off? Tell him it's all his karma. I won't go back to see him!"
"If you like daughters so much, find another woman and have one. Don't pretend to be a loving father in front of me, I don't buy it!"
Her classmate tried to persuade her.
"Don't just talk big to me. You're such a smart person, how can you be so foolish about something so important?"
"Have you even considered that your father's woman is now his legal wife? If something happens to him, she's the legal heir."
"It's a small matter to get revenge on your father, but it's a big deal if all the inheritance goes to her."
"Are you willing to let all the things your father worked hard for his entire life go to her? Are you willing to let her live a life of luxury and reach the peak of her life while you eat scraps outside?"
Chen Jiaojiao suddenly realized.
That's right!
Normally, when I argue with my dad, I don't spend his money, and it's fine if it all goes to that woman!
But at this critical moment, if something happens to him...
No matter what, she couldn't let her father's wealth fall into that woman's hands.
Therefore, Chen Jiaojiao sat up from the bed with a flip.
"Tell my dad to hold on! I'm booking a flight back to see him now!"
Chen Jiaojiao appeared in Jin Cheng.
Her father wasn't seriously ill, just the common issues of middle-aged men who drink at business dinners – high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol.
When she entered the ward, she saw that woman dressed to the nines sitting next to him.
Her father could talk and eat, and even flirted with her.
She was instantly furious.
"You put on a benevolent father persona outside and tricked me into coming back just to watch you two show off your affection?"
"What, you don't like it that I didn't give you two my blessings and watch you two be so deeply in love every day?"
"Do you really want everyone to curse me and praise your little wife for her noble character?"
In the past, hearing such rebellious words, her father would have definitely argued with her.
But the situation was different now.
His daughter had grown up, her wings had hardened, and she could leave whenever she wanted.
Moreover, she hadn't contacted home for so long, and he could lose this daughter at any moment, so her father didn't dare to be so stern anymore.
He could only coax her gently.
"If you don't want to go to school, you don't have to. A diploma doesn't matter to our family anyway."
"But your father is getting old, and his health is declining day by day. You need to learn a skill to survive."
"Come back, I've arranged a position for you at the company. Starting tomorrow, you'll learn. As long as you manage it well, the company will be yours in the future."
She wanted to leave the company to her? And have her manage it herself?
Although Chen Jiaojiao knew nothing about the company, she felt it was somewhat reliable.
"Who asked you to be my father? Your family fortune should have been mine in the first place. If I don't inherit it, who will?"
"That's more like it. Then I'll come back. But you have to let me have a couple of days to sort out some personal matters. After I'm done, I'll start working."
"What personal matters? What personal matters could you have? Don't tell me you're dating a boyfriend outside?"
"Do I need to date? Wasn't I betrothed to the Lu family in Nan Cheng by my grandfather since I was little? Do I have the right to date?"
Speaking of the Lu family, her father sighed again.
"You're not young anymore. If you don't plan to go back to school, you should settle your lifelong affairs. The Lu family..."
"No, no, no, it's not necessary. How old am I? I just reached the legal age, let me play for two more years."
Her father had no choice but to indulge her.
Chen Jiaojiao sat beside her father, fed him some fruit, and reached into his pocket.
Her father slapped her hand, "What are you doing?"
"I've been drifting alone outside for so long, and you haven't even unblocked my card. Aren't you afraid I'll starve to death?"
"You didn't starve to death, did you? You came back safe and sound, and you're glowing. My daughter is so smart, I knew you wouldn't starve."
Chen Jiaojiao pouted.
"That's because I was born at a good time and could use my credit card."
"I don't care. You two can't be living a life of luxury while your daughter is struggling outside to pay off debts, can you? Give me the supplementary card!"
So, all this time, his daughter had been living by swiping her credit card?
Her father felt a pang of heartache and quickly took out the supplementary card and gave it to her.
Chen Jiaojiao took her phone and card and left the room. Soon, Lu Mingzhe received a large transfer.
Chen Jiaojiao told him, I'm back in Jin Cheng.
"Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Chen Jiaojiao: "My dad isn't feeling well. I don't want to upset him anymore, so I won't be going back to Nan Cheng."
"Thank you for your trouble during this time. Please accept the money."
Lu Mingze felt embarrassed to accept the money.
"With our relationship, do we need to say such things?"
"As long as we're not married, we're not a couple. Your money doesn't fall from the sky, so take it. Otherwise, if there's any trouble in the future, I won't have the nerve to ask you for help."
Then she sent messages to Zhou Jinbei and Jiang Nan Fang respectively.
Both of them expressed their understanding.
Chen Jiaojiao said, "I won't be meeting you for now. When I have time, I'll come to Nan Cheng to see you. You can also come to play. My treat."
That evening, her father was discharged from the hospital.
He said there was a very important corporate exchange banquet in Jin Cheng that he had to attend, no matter what.
Chen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes so hard they almost popped out.
"You're just out of the hospital and you want to go to a banquet? Do you miss me that much? Do you want to hasten the inheritance so your little wife can remarry quickly?"
"Alright, stop playing the victim in front of me. I know your work is hard. I'll go in your place tonight."
