Chu Xi dared to speak to Chu Tian and Li Sulan like this because she was thinking that they had let her live outside for twenty years, so they must feel guilty for her and would not really blame her.
But Chu Xi overestimated how much they valued her. Chu Tian suddenly changed his face and stared at Chu Xi without saying a word.
Only then did Chu Xi feel scared. She had just been impulsive.
She has not lived with Chu Tian since she was a child, and there is no father-daughter relationship at all.
"Chu Xi." Chu Tian said in a serious tone. This was the first time he called Chu Xi by his full name.
Chu Xi subconsciously shrank her shoulders back, her rebellious aura instantly weakening.
"It's not your turn to discuss adult matters." Chu Tian slightly bent his knuckles and tapped the coffee table hard, "You have lived in the Sang family for twenty years, and you still maintain many unworthy behaviors and ways of speaking, but I
I thought you had just returned home not long ago, so I would just change it slowly without putting any pressure on you. But today it seems that I must correct your thoughts as soon as possible. Remember, the interests of the group are always greater than your personal interests!
Compared with the Chu Group, just a daughter is nothing."
Chu Xi's throat felt sore and her eyes began to become moist. She knew these things in her heart, but it was still too hurtful for Chu Tian to say it himself.
Li Sulan's expression changed. She raised her elbow and crooked Chu Tian while giving him a warning look.
"Xiao Xi, your father has been too busy with work recently, and it is inevitable that he will be a little angry. Don't worry, I will deal with him. As a daughter, don't take it personally." Li Sulan stepped forward and took Chu Xi's hand, leading her with her.
Leave the living room and walk towards the bedroom on the second floor.
After sitting down on the sofa in the bedroom, Chu Xi's tear ducts finally burst, and she threw herself into Li Sulan's arms and cried loudly.
"Mom, actually my life in the Sang family wasn't that miserable. I lied to you. Sang Youming and Hu Zhi didn't treat me that badly. That boy Sang Chuan didn't bully me either. Can you and dad let go?
Is there any way for them to survive?"
Compared to Chu Tian, Chu Xi felt that Li Sulan still cared about her very much and might be able to listen to her prayers.
It took a lot of courage to clarify that Sang Youming and Hu Zhi had not treated her badly. She was worried that Li Sulan thought she was a liar, but she was stung by what Shen Yi said. She also had the right to be a sincere person. Li Sulan gently pushed Chu Xi away, wiped away the tears on her face with her fingertips, and said with a motherly expression: "Xiao Xi, mother knows that you are kind, and Sang Youming and Hu Zhi have raised you for twenty years after all.
, it’s understandable that you can’t bear it, but it’s up to your father to decide this matter. No matter whether they are good to you or not, they will never be good to you in the future.”
Although Li Sulan was comforting Chu Xi, the overall feeling was very strong and could not be refuted.
Chu Xi felt even more chilled and helpless. It turned out that they didn't really care whether she had lived well in the Sang family for twenty years.
She suddenly felt that it was ridiculous. She had hated Sang Ning because Chu Tian and Li Sulan wanted to take Sang Ning home again.
Now it seems that they really don't want to let go of their daughter Sang Ning. They clearly hate the feeling of losing control.
How could they accept that Sang Ning was so kind to people like Sang Youming and Hu Zhi whose wealth and status were far inferior to theirs?
"Okay, mom, I understand." Chu Xi reluctantly compromised.
"Xiao Xi, don't think too much, be happy. Our family's status will soon be raised to a higher level. Then whoever is short-sighted will dare to talk about you. It's too late to curry favor with you." Li Sulan patted her gently.
Chu Xi's shoulders, but Chu Xi did not respond.
After comforting Chu Xi, Li Sulan left the bedroom on the second floor and came to the living room on the first floor. Chu Tian was still sitting on the sofa with a serious face.
"Are you done with the comfort?" Chu Tian asked casually.
Li Sulan stepped forward, clenched her fist and punched Chu Tian's chest: "There's no one left, why are you pretending to be serious with me? I'm warning you, Sang Ning's white-eyed wolf will never come back in this life, we only have
Xiaoxi is such a daughter, please speak more gently. What if you scare her?"
"I know, my little girl is very angry and forgetful. Xiaoxi will forget about this matter in a few days."
Chutian lowered his voice when speaking, and his momentum instantly weakened. Damn it, he didn't know if he owed Li Sulan in his previous life. Why was he so afraid of this bitch in this life?
"I'm going to meet Mr. Li soon. Don't cause any more trouble for me at this juncture." Even though Li Sulan felt guilty, Chu Tian still acted like the head of the family. This was his last stubbornness.
……
Sang Ning and Li Juezhou visited door to door and finally got some clues about the matter. They found new clues from a household head who often worked night shifts.
According to the head of the household, on the night Dr. Zhou fell to his death, he did see two strange women entering his home.
However, because the corridor lamp was in disrepair and the corridor was dark, he did not pay attention to see what the two people looked like.
Sang Ning asked Li Juezhou to help take full-body photos of Li Sulan and Duan Wenhui for the head of the household to identify. The head of the household said that their body shapes were very similar to the two women he saw that day, but he could not determine their true appearance.
This clue is important enough to Sang Ning, indicating that her judgment is correct. Dr. Zhou's death must be related to these two people.
As for why they came together, it’s easy to think about the reason. They all have a common thorn in their side.
Sang Ning immediately fed back the clues she got to Shen Fang, hoping that he could help his colleagues and hope that they could focus on investigating the records of correspondence between Duan Wenhui and Li Sulan and Dr. Zhou.
Dr. Zhou did leave a mobile phone at the scene of his fall, but the mobile phone was seriously damaged and the records could not be restored. Naturally, it was impossible to dig out any useful information from this mobile phone, but it was possible to get it from Duan Wenhui and Li Sulan!
"Sang Ning, I'm sorry, the police may have to stop investigating this matter."
Sang Ning thought she would get support after telling Shen Fang, but who knew she would get such a cold water in exchange.
"What do you mean?" Sang Ning asked puzzled, even dissatisfied.
"Dr. Zhou's family members insist that Dr. Zhou died after falling from a building, and have taken his body for cremation. They are even preparing to file a complaint against the police officers who handled the case at the time, saying that they secretly classified Dr. Zhou's death regardless of the family's wishes, which has seriously harmed the people. Their feelings as family members are gone, and this case must be dropped, otherwise they will never be done with us."
Shen Fang explained very weakly, and at the same time he did not forget to comfort Sang Ning: "But don't worry, even if no one in the bureau investigates this matter, I will persist. Don't worry, I will definitely restore my uncle and aunt's innocence. ”
