On the day of her return to China, she was tied up and coaxed by the richest man to get her marriage

The phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from my father.

Yu Jinchao snapped out of her daze and answered the phone. Yu Zongxian's deep, resonant voice came from the other end, filled with concern, "Chaochao, have you had breakfast?"

Yu Jinzhao watched the herbal medicine grinder, the herbs inside gradually being pulverized into powder, and nodded.

"We'll go eat in a bit, Father, have you eaten yet?"

Yu Zongxian felt a warmth in his heart as he sensed his daughter's concern, and his voice was gentle and smiling.

"Dad will go eat soon too. You've been married into the Si family for so many days now. Are you happy? How is Aqing treating you?"

Yu Jinzhao lowered her eyes to look at the medicinal herbs that had been completely ground into a fine powder, turned off the power, then leaned against the windowsill and answered in a soft voice.

“I am very happy, Si Qing is very good to me, and they all respect me.”

Don't worry, take good care of yourselves while I'm not by your side, or your brother's.

On the phone, my daughter's voice was calm and gentle, without a trace of emotion.

In the past, if she was happy, she would excitedly share her joy with him.

If she's unhappy, she'll whine and complain to him, expressing her dissatisfaction.

But now, she has lost the vitality she used to have. She has become very sensible, but it's also hard to guess what she's really thinking.

Yu Zongxian felt a pang of disappointment at his daughter's change, a lump in his throat. He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with increasingly complex and profound emotions.

"Chaochao, I already know what happened last night. Luckily you were there and stopped Xintong from taking the medicine, otherwise your grandma would have been in danger."

Yu Jinzhao was stunned for a moment. How did the news about last night reach his father's ears so quickly?

Lin Hui and her mother could not possibly be so honest; they must have thought of a reason to refute it before daring to tell their father.

As if sensing her confusion, Yu Zongxian continued to explain,

"It was Bo's assistant who called to tell me, Chaochao, that you saved your grandma this time."

Yu Jinzhao understood. It turned out that Bo Sibai had helped with the work. No wonder his father didn't even ask about the process and just trusted him.

You should know that no one else's message has the same impact as Bo Sibai's.

This time, Lin Hui and her mother's image in her father's eyes must have been greatly diminished.

Her first step was perfect.

Next time, I must thank Bo Sibai properly.

“Your Aunt Lin and Xintong have made a big mistake this time. They have offended the Bo family and made the Yu family a laughing stock. I have already punished them severely.”

Yu Zongxian was furious, and his tone was filled with intense anger when he spoke of Lin Hui and her daughter.

"I really didn't expect that they, who are usually so composed and proper, could do such an absurd thing. It seems that they have suffered too much in the past and couldn't resist the temptations of high society. They have developed thoughts they shouldn't have. They need to be corrected!"

Yu Jinzhao sensed the disappointment in her father's words towards Lin Hui and her daughter, and felt relieved.

This incident has likely planted a seed in the father's heart, questioning the character of Lin Hui's mother, waiting only for it to take root, sprout, and bear fruit...

She needs to deal with the parasites and uncover the truth, but she also needs to consider her father's health and prepare him to withstand pressure in advance.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, "Father, calm down. Getting angry is bad for your health."

Yu Zongxian paused, then spoke again, his tone softening as he said gently, "Chaochao, thanks to you this time, we were able to save face for our family. You really moved your father..."

He paused for a moment, then asked the question he most wanted to ask.

"Why didn't you call and tell Dad about this last night?"

He didn't sleep a wink last night, waiting for Chaochao to call him. He thought Chaochao would definitely call to tell him.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinzhao's eyelashes trembled violently, unsure how to respond.

After a moment, Yu Zongxian understood, and spoke in a somewhat low voice.

"Chaochao, do you really not believe your father anymore?"

Although he was a reckless man, he had been in the business world for more than a decade and had some insight.

Since Chaochao returned to China, she no longer talks to him as freely as she used to.

He always thought that Chaochao was still sulking with him, just like when they were children, and would give him the cold shoulder when she was unhappy.

Even after such a big incident last night, she endured the ridicule and sarcasm at the banquet but remained silent.

If the Bo family hadn't sent someone to tell him, he might have had to wait a long time to find out what happened last night.

So he suddenly realized that Chaochao's unwillingness to talk was not because she was upset.

Because of what happened three years ago, he chose not to believe her. He still remembered how hysterical she was when she refused to accept punishment after being sent abroad.

From initially crying and fussing to calming down, and finally looking at him with a particularly disappointed expression, he said...

"Dad, I will never believe you again."

I once thought it was a harsh statement she made to exonerate herself from guilt.

Now she has truly done what she said: she will never trust him again.

Even though he knew it might be an act of defiance on her part, it was still like a sharp knife, slashing open his heart and piercing his soul.
