The next day, Chi Yue woke up late and hurriedly washed up. Just as she was about to head out, her phone rang.
Who was looking for him so early in the morning?
Chi Luoxi put on her shoes and looked at her phone. Her expression darkened immediately.
It was his father, Chi Jianming. What trouble was there this early in the morning?
Chi leixi was really a little afraid of this family. She couldn’t hide from them and problems could come knocking on their door at any time.
“Hello, dad, what’s the matter? I’m in a hurry to go to work. ”
On the other end of the phone, Chi Jianming was in a good mood, which could be heard from his tone.
“Luo Xi, it’s nothing. I won’t hold you up from work. Come home for dinner tonight. The family hasn’t been together for a long time. Let’s have a good meal together.”
Go home for dinner? Chi leixi didn’t have such a plan. She had even asked sister Ming to go to the yoga studio that night.
“I still have something to do tonight, I might not be able to make it.”
Chi luexi had an instinctive resistance to going home for dinner. She was not even willing to go home, let alone eat.
“Put everything else aside for now. It’s your dad’s birthday today, so come early for dinner.”
“Oh, I forgot. I’ll be there later.”
......
Chi luexi had no choice but to agree.
“Yue Xi, you can bring President li over to our house for a visit and ask him if he’s free.”
Although Chi Jianming was a little afraid of Li Jingjing, he thought that if President li were to be present at such an occasion, he would have given her a red packet.
Chi leixi directly rejected him without much thought.
“Li Jingjing isn’t free. She’s busy.”
Then, he hung up the phone.
Chi Jianming was still a little disappointed. He was already so old, but his child didn’t even remember his birthday, so he could only tell him directly.
This was also a trap set by the old woman li Lijuan.
He had no choice. Money was tight. Other than paying off the debt in installments, he had to save on food and vegetables at home.
The two children had gone out to live, so there was no smoke or fire at home.
So, taking advantage of Chi Jianming’s birthday, the old woman came up with this idea.
If they didn’t take the initiative to go home, he would take this opportunity to call them back for a gathering. He couldn’t just give them a cake for their birthday, right? there would always be a lot of gifts and red packets.
There was another very important thing, which was that li Lijuan wanted Chi Jianming to bring it up after dinner. Raising a child to prevent old age was the same as raising a daughter.
Although they didn’t live at home anymore, they still had to pay for the expenses at home, whether it was food or filial piety.
Of course, li Lijuan had her own selfish motives. Her words were mainly directed at Chi luexi, who was a big star. She earned a lot from acting and endorsements. Her family was so poor that she couldn’t just watch and do nothing.
He had to give his family at least five thousand Yuan a month, let alone tens of thousands. Wasn’t this human nature?
As for Chi Jiaojiao, who she had doted on since she was young, li Lijuan was always considerate of her. She had just lived with the man’s house and it was said that the Lin family’s business was not easy to do. It depended on her ability. If she could give it to him, then it was fine. If she couldn ‘t, then forget it. There was no need to be so stressed.
On her way to work, Chi leixi called the bakery and ordered a three-pound, two-layer, fruit cream cake.
After work in the afternoon, Chi Kexi went to get the cake and went to the fruit store to buy a large fruit basket made of several high-end fruits. She then took a taxi back to her father’s place.
Before Chi luexi entered, she could already hear exaggerated loud voices and laughter coming from inside. It seemed like Chi chijiao had arrived long ago.
Hearing someone ring the doorbell, Chi Jiaojiao hurriedly went to open the door. When she saw Chi Luoxi carrying things in her left and right hands, she deliberately shouted in an exaggerated manner,”
“My sister is here, come and help! I also bought a lot of things that are better than gifts!”
Chi Jianming came over and took the fruit and cake with a smile on his face.
Of course, he understood that the atmosphere tonight was very important. He wanted everyone to eat, drink, and have fun.
Chi Jianming didn’t mind that Chi Luoxi had only bought cake and fruits. He thought to himself that there was still a big gift waiting for him.
There would definitely be a huge red packet for the cake during the meal.
Li Lijuan, who was wearing an apron, also came out to welcome them.”Yue Xi, you’re here. We’ll be eating soon. Go and have a cup of tea.”
Chi Luoxi nodded. She did not even want to call her ‘mom’ anymore.
Thinking about how much she had done, this title was really not worthy of her.
They would go back after having a meal together and would not fuss about her anymore.
No matter how bad his father was, he was still the one who gave him his life.
This woman had angered her own mother so much that she fell ill and passed away. After coming to the Chi family, she had been thinking of ways to torment her. She had come up with some excessive conspiracies and tricks to harm her and often schemed against her.
Forget it. Today is my father Chi Jianming’s birthday. Let’s have a meal together and go back after eating. There was nothing to talk about with these people.
A puppet father who was used by others, a vicious and cruel stepmother, a sister who was as vicious and jealous as her mother, and a scumbag brother-in-law who had once been her boyfriend for a year but later betrayed her and slept with her sister.
Chi luexi had to admit that she was one family with this group of people.
In the circle, only sister Ming and Li Qianqian knew about it. Not even Xiao Ye knew much about it. It would be too embarrassing if this were to spread.
“Sis, come over and sit. Didn’t brother-in-law come with you?”
Although Chi Jiaojiao was envious and jealous of Chi luexi, she had learned to restrain herself on the surface.
In the past, when he was with Chi Luoxi, he would always scold her and find fault with her on purpose.
Now that she was preparing to get married, Chi jiaoyue’s thinking was more mature than before. She knew that she could only please big shots like her sister and brother-in-law, and could not go against them openly.
“Yeah, didn’t you come over for dinner?”
Lin Zixuan, the scumbag brother-in-law, asked when he saw Chi Luoxi’s silence.
Chi Luoxi fiddled with her phone and said without looking up,”
“He’s very busy, he’s on a business trip. ”
Chi Jiaojiao and Lin Zixuan looked at each other and pursed their lips, no longer making a sound to invite ridicule.
Ten minutes later, li Lijuan called everyone to eat.
Chi Jiaojiao pretended to be diligent as she ran into the kitchen, carrying the plates and bowls. Li Lijuan was very happy to see this, showing a smug look.
The children he taught were so hardworking that they would be popular with everyone.
He was not like Chi yaoxi, who was still playing with her phone using her status as a celebrity when she got home. She did not even enter the kitchen to take a look.
“It’s time to eat, Luo Xi. Come over here. ”
Chi Jianming greeted her. When he saw the old lady’s expression, he glanced at Chi Luoxi a few times, as if he had a lot of opinions about Chi Luoxi.
He quickly pulled the old lady Li Lijuan back to the kitchen and whispered,”
