That night, Li An’an received a call that surprised her. It was from Li Chong, her foster father. He was a cunning and greedy man.

It had been five years since Li An’an saw him, but even now, she felt nauseous at the thought of his hypocritical behavior. She glanced at Chu Yichen who was accompanying the children in the living room and made her way to the balcony.

“An’an, I heard that you’re back. Why didn’t you come home?” Li Chong demanded.

“That’s not my home!”

“That’s easy for you to say. What about the money I spent raising you for so many years?”

Li An’an lowered her eyes, her fingers gripping the railing tightly. “Haven’t you already earned that money back from that Cao guy?

“It’s not much at all. At the time, the deal was to have you accompany him for a month, but CEO Cao died the next day. We didn’t get the working capital either.

No matter what, the Li family was at a disadvantage!”

Li An’an mocked, “You’ve finally admitted it. I thought you’d never admit it!”

Li Chong’s eyes turned cold. “An’an, you have to understand that if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t be where you are, so you have to be grateful.”

“That’s right. I have to thank your ancestors!” Li An’an smiled nonchalantly. He had brought her back to be a servant, only to give her away as a play thing after she grew up. Now, he actually wanted her to be grateful. What a joke.

Li Chong was furious. “Where is the jade pendant? As long as you hand over the jade pendant, I’ll write off everything between us!”

“It’s lost. Perhaps it’s broken or it’s misplaced somewhere.”

“An’an, don’t enrage me. It won’t do you any good. Don’t think that I can’t do anything to you just because you’re a little famous. If the matter of you accompanying CEO Cao back then were to be exposed, let’s see how you’re going to face the world!

Oh right, I must have forgotten to tell you, I do have the video footage of how you had gone to CEO Cao’s room back then!” Li Chong smiled. Li An’an wasn’t the most obedient person so he had taken precautions at the time.

Li An’an trembled with anger. “You’re disgusting!”

“Hehe, I thought you knew me well enough after all these years, but it looks like I was wrong. You’re still too inexperienced to challenge me! I want the jade pendant by 3 pm tomorrow!”

The call left Li An’an trembling.

Chu Yichen walked over with a glass of water. He frowned when he saw how pale she had turned. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Li An’an reached for the cup and took a sip from it. She calmed down. “No, just a nuisance call!”

“A nuisance call? What did the person say?”

“He asked me for my bank account number and password! I told him I was poorer than him!” Li An’an downed the water in one gulp and recovered.

Chu Yichen pinched her face. “When will you ever start speaking the truth?

Hmm?”

“I’ve always told the truth, but you wouldn’t believe me!” Li An’an avoided his hand and went to the living room. She turned off the television and placed her hands on her hips.

“Children shouldn’t spend too much time watching TV. Go to bed now.”

The three little fellows had not had enough, but they got up slowly from the sofa nevertheless, took a shower, and went to bed.

Following the similar routine, Li An’an gave Baobao a shower while Chu Yichen showered Junjun and Jinjün. Seeing the two little guys being attacked by sugar-coated bullets without any sense of the looming danger, Li An’an was extremely worried. How long more could the little masks on their faces stay on for?

After bathing Baobao, Li An’an made another call. “Have you completed the work for the item?”

The other party replied, “It’s ready.. You may come and collect it tomorrow afternoon!”
