Sun Hongmei began to worry that Bei Qingqing had said something to Chen Jiazhi. The matter of the substitute marriage was not honorable, to begin with. Moreover, if Chen Jiazhi were to get angry over this matter, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.

“Qingqing, you’re leaving so soon? This child is really something. Every time she comes back, she won’t stay for long. She hasn’t even had the chance to taste mother’s cooking.” Sun Hongmei’s face was full of smiles.

“Yes, yes, Sister Qingqing. Why don’t you stay a little longer and eat before you leave?” Bei Bei said with a flattering smile.

Bei Qingqing frowned.

These two people looked like biological mother-and-daughter with their clumsy acting skills. Instead, she seemed to be out of place here.

“No, it’s better for the three of you to eat.” Bei Qingqing did not show any mercy and said coldly.

“Hehe… This child…”

Sun Hongmei could not do anything to her, so she could only laugh dryly to cover it up. Taking advantage of the moment when the special assistant’s back was facing her, she glared at Bei Qingqing fiercely, her eyes full of warning.

“Then, Sister Qingqing, don’t forget what mother told you.” Bei Bei emphasized.

She looked at the treatment that Bei Qingqing was enjoying and was almost driven mad. All of this was clearly hers! How could she be willing to let this woman have it?!

“Then let’s go, First Lady.” The special assistant respectfully opened the car door for Bei Qingqing.

Even the special assistant felt that this hypocritical scene was extremely laughable. He did not dare to imagine what kind of treatment Bei Qingqing was receiving in this family.

When they returned to the Chen Family, Chen Jiazhi saw Bei Qingqing’s wrinkled face. The special assistant had already informed him on the phone about what had happened in the Bei Family.

Chen Jiazhi was very clear about the Bei family’s ambitions. He was not the kind that pursued matters outside his family, but this was for the sake of Bei Qingqing.

If the Bei Family crossed the line one more step, then he would make them regret it for the rest of their lives.

“I’m back.”

Seeing Bei Qingqing’s powerless and dejected appearance, Chen Jiazhi’s also felt bad.

“Help me get a glass of water.” Chen Jiazhi deliberately ordered her to get up.

Bei Qingqing poured the water in a daze and handed it to him.

“No, it’s too hot.” Chen Jiazhi pretended to frown.

Bei Qingqing slowly came back to her senses and poured another glass for him.

“No, it’s too cold.” Seeing that Bei Qingqing was slowly becoming energetic, he continued to order her around.

Bei Qingqing tested the temperature of the water. It was obviously warm, but she still did not say anything.

On the way to pour the water, she kept thinking about the threatening words of the Bei Family.

What if the Bei Family really went to the foster mother’s hospital to cause a ruckus… To her, the favor of her foster mother was something she would never be able to repay in her lifetime. Did she really have to leave Chen Jiazhi…

Just as she was in a daze, Chen Jiazhi’s urging voice sounded again. “Why are you taking so long to pour water?”

Bei Qingqing came back to her senses and looked at the temperature of the water. It was 43 degrees celsius. There should be no problem now, right?

Unexpectedly, Chen Jiazhi only took a sip and said critically, “The temperature is still not right.”

Bei Qingqing was already upset. Seeing that Chen Jiazhi was deliberately made things difficult for her, the grievances in her heart could not be suppressed, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Chen Jiazhi was shocked by her sudden emotions.

Looking at the tears that were about to fall from her red eyes, Chen Jiazhi felt as if his heart had been struck.

He turned his head and said after a pause, “Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet to invite the Bei Family. There are some things that need to be explained clearly.”

Bei Qingqing was instantly stunned, and a sense of panic rose in her heart. He said that he wanted to explain things clearly to the Bei Family… Did he want to send her back?
