Chapter 389 As if the soul had left the body
“The man named Jiang Jingcheng is really an asshole. How dare he frame my daughter? He really has an exaggerated opinion of his abilities.” Chen Huiqiang put his glass on the table next to the sofa heavily. He looked very angry.
“Sweetie, don’t worry. I won’t let you be wronged. I will deal with it in person. I will not allow anyone to judge my daughter casually.”
Chen Qian was touched by her father’s words. She looked up into her father’s deep eyes and grumbled, “Dad, thank you. I’m so sorry that you have to worry about me again. It’s my fault, but I hope that you will not make it bigger.”
He was calmer now and the sternness of his face was changed. He put his hand on his daughter’s shoulder and said softly, “Qian, you are as sensible as before, but you should remember that you shall not always let yourself get the short end of the stick. Do you understand?”
He looked at his daughter and his eyes were warm. These plain words were full of his deep paternal love for his daughter.
The three people had their own secrets. Chen Huiqiang was thinking about how to deal with the whole thing to minimize the harm from Chen Qian and how to clear it to Mo Yichen to resolve misunderstandings. It was hard for him to balance the two things at the same time.
While Lv Xiaoru watched her husband’s every move to make sure if he had believed what Chen Qian said.
As for Chen Qian, she thought things were going surprisingly well, which made her feel it was a little weird.
Was the whole thing settled easily like this?
When she didn’t know how to excuse herself further, her father had already believed her without any hesitation.
Chen Qian was lying on the sofa in her nightgown. She was distracted. She did not listen to what her father said then.
She sat in a daze on the sofa, thinking about what happened these days. She tried to clear them up, but the harder she tried, the more her head hurt. In addition, she was absent-minded occasionally. She didn’t even know what she was thinking just now when she settled back into her concentration.
“Qian, are you tired? Do you hear the question your dad asked?” Lv Xiaoru shook her daughter’s arm and softly called her name over and over again.
Chen Qian’s eyes were dull and glazed. She slowly turned her head to her mother and said after some hesitation, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
They looked into each other’s eyes. Lv Xiaoru started to worry about her daughter when she saw Chen Qian was listless and absent-minded. She did not know what her daughter was thinking.
A few moments later, Chen Qian settled back into her concentration and looked at her mother in surprise with her nice eyebrows knitted. She was also embarrassed when she realized she was distracted.
“Your father has been talking to you. Why don’t you answer him? You look absent-minded. What is wrong with you? Are you all right?”
Lv Xiaoru repeated these words again. She was so confused when she saw her daughter kept nodding her head. She turned her head to her husband and found he was not as serious as before. She was relieved finally.
At this moment, it was very quiet in the room. Chen Qian and Lv Xiaoru were a little bit uncomfortable.
Peeping at her father, she found he was as calm as before, so she calmed down as well.
“Alas...” Chen Huiqiang heaved a deep sigh and felt helpless. In fact, he thought he disgraced himself in the whole thing, not to mention Chen Qian. When he heard the recording at the very beginning, he had been pissed off and felt disgraced.
If the recording was true, it would have a great impact on his company and his daughter’s life in the future once others knew it. Although he was able to control the spread of rumors, it was difficult for him to prevent others from talking about it.
When he heard that Chen Qian got hurt in the whole thing, he couldn’t calm down.
He determined to clarify the whole thing to Mo Yichen.
“Qian, go and get some rest. Don’t worry about it.” Chen Huiqiang looked at his daughter and said in a gentle way.
“Thank you, dad! I’m leaving.”
Chen Qian looked at her parents. They loved her in different ways, but all their love was endless and deep and she could felt it, which made her feel so amazing.
She was so touched and happy.
“Huiqiang, what is your plan about it?” She looked at him and she was eager to know how he would handle this matter.
“I’ll teach the guy called Jiang Jingcheng a lesson. How dare he bully my daughter? If I don’t give him a lesson, someone will laugh at me because I fail to protect my daughter well!”
Speaking of that, Chen Huiqiang got angry again. He frowned and banged his fists on the table.
Lv Xiaoru was shocked by his behavior. She sat on the sofa, patting her chest slightly and panting.
She paused for a few seconds and finally mustered up the courage to speak to her husband, “Dear, from my point of view, we can follow what Chen Qian said. We just ignore Jiang Jingcheng for the moment. Think about it. I’m afraid he will hurt her again if he is stimulated. It’s not worth the trouble for us.”
He lowered his head and was lost in thought. He thought she was right. He suddenly turned his head and looked at her with great interest. His pupils dilated involuntarily.
“Ru, what do you mean?”
“I think Chen Qian cares most about Mo Yichen’s attitude towards the whole thing, so if Mo Yichen can believe her, everything will be fine for her.”
“The point is that we don’t know if Mo Yichen will believe her. It is difficult for him to trust our daughter because there is no witness and material evidence.”
She said her thoughts carefully. Her husband walked step by step into the trap she had set, which made her snicker, but the smile went away immediately.
In the garden, Chen Qian sat on the bench with her hands holding sleeves tightly. She lowered her head slightly. A few strands of hair fell on her forehead, which made her small face more delicate.
