Chapter 2203: Chapter 2203: Verbal Truth (24)

Fei Jiang opened the file bag and was stunned by its contents.

Was he seeing things, or was he dreaming?

How did his young friend end up with a contract with Bai Cheng?

Wasn’t Bai Cheng’s property something he’d never sell?

Fei Jiang stuffed the documents back into the bag: "How did you get this?"

Chuzheng: "Just got it."

"Bai Cheng isn’t that easy to persuade."

"Mm."

"..."

What do you mean by ’mm’?

So how exactly did you get it?

Chuzheng obviously didn’t intend to say, and Fei Jiang couldn’t get an answer out of her. He couldn’t force her like he could others, so he ultimately had to give up.

"You really know how to surprise me."

"As long as you like it." It wasn’t easy for me to get it for you!

Fei Jiang flicked the file bag with his fingers: "Do you know how much this is worth?"

"Not as much as you."

"..."

Fei Jiang felt like he might die.

His young friend always says such things with a straight face, flirting without realizing it.

Fei Jiang moved forward, pressing Chuzheng back onto the bed, indulging in some intimacy.

-

Chuzheng didn’t have much to take with her, only packing the original owner’s belongings into the suitcase the original owner brought, taking it downstairs.

She didn’t expect the entire family of three to be there at that time.

Fei Jinxue sat next to Fei Youping.

Mo Xiangqiu sat nearby, looking particularly harmonious, the classic scene of a loving mother and son.

"Xiao Chu, you’re just in time, I have something to discuss with you." Mo Xiangqiu heard the noise, turned her head to see Chuzheng, and didn’t pay attention to the things in her hand, asking her to come over.

Fei Jinxue usually looked at her like a mouse seeing a rat, but today seemed somewhat gloating.

Chuzheng, on alert: "What is it?" What kind of trick is this family pulling again!

"You’re not getting any younger, your aunt and I have found a marriage proposal for you..."

"???"

Has Mo Xiangqiu gone mad?

Arranged marriages in wealthy families are quite common, after all, it’s all about interests.

But as an adopted daughter, especially when things are close to falling out, they pull this kind of stunt.

Aren’t they toying with her?!

Mo Xiangqiu continued: "The man’s family background is good, and he’s of good character. Your aunt and I have already checked it out. If you marry him, you’ll live a comfortable life."

Mo Xiangqiu praised the man as if he was unique in the world.

Chuzheng with an indifferent face: "If it’s so good, why doesn’t Fei Jinxue go?"

"Jinxue is still young..."

"Young? Wasn’t she born the same year as me?" Being born a few months later makes her young? Can you stop being so double-standard?

Mo Xiangqiu’s face darkened: "I’m not discussing this with you; it’s already decided."

"Oh." Decide then. When the time comes to send someone, let Fei Jinxue go! After all, she’s your biological daughter, and with such good conditions, why let an outsider benefit?

Chuzheng internally sang with glee but was too lazy to engage with them on the surface and dragged her suitcase to leave.

Mo Xiangqiu only noticed the suitcase in Chuzheng’s hand at this moment and yelled sternly: "Where do you think you’re going!"

Mo Xiangqiu’s outburst stunned both Fei Youping and Fei Jinxue.

The arranged marriage was brokered by Fei Youping.

No matter what, Mo Xiangqiu was still her adoptive father, making her agree shouldn’t have been difficult.

But just as they brought it up, she decided to move out.

"Moving out."

"Moving out?" Mo Xiangqiu frowned: "Where do you think you’re moving to? Who gave you permission to move out?"

"I don’t need anyone’s permission."

"..." Mo Xiangqiu stood up abruptly, his face dark, pointing at her: "Do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please?"

"Mm." Chuzheng nodded: "My legs are on my body, of course I come and go as I please."

It’s not like I wanted to come here anyway.

"This is outrageous!"

Mo Xiangqiu was utterly furious.

"I’ve raised you for so many years, and now you’re so bold as to defy me? If it weren’t for me, could you have the life you have now?"

"I’ll tally up the expenses over the years and pay you back." Chuzheng’s tone remained calm, unperturbed by Mo Xiangqiu.

"..."

Mo Xiangqiu was so infuriated he nearly choked.

Where did she get such audacity?

Mo Xiangqiu caught his breath and was about to scold Chuzheng again when the Chief Steward entered with a group.

Fei Youping furrowed her brows.

Why was he there?

She hadn’t offended Fei Jiang recently...

The Chief Steward slightly bowed: "Fourth Miss, Fourth Uncle."

Fei Youping: "... What do you want?"

"I’ve come to pick up Miss Chuzheng."

Fei Youping doubted her ears: "... What did you say?" Who are you picking up?

The Chief Steward repeated: "I’ve come to pick up Miss Chuzheng."

Fei Youping’s eyes darkened: "Where are you taking her?"

"To the main residence." The fact that Chuzheng was moving in would soon be known, so there was no point hiding it.

"..."

Fei Youping could only think ’WTF’, unable to describe her feelings at the moment.

What on earth was going on?

Why was Fei Jiang, that lunatic, moving her into the main residence?

She had thought Fei Jiang was just using the girl against her before since there had been no apparent interaction afterward.

But now...

"Miss Chuzheng, do you have anything else to move?"

"No."

The Chief Steward took the suitcase from her hands: "Alright, please."

Chuzheng left with the Chief Steward, her expression calm.

Fei Youping and Mo Xiangqiu were dumbfounded for a long time.

"Mom..." Fei Jinxue supported Fei Youping, her face also unpleasant: "What’s going on with her?"

How would Fei Youping know what was going on?

Her mind was a jumble.

"Fei Jiang... Mo Chuzheng..."

What on earth are these two up to?

-

The news of Chuzheng moving into the main residence quickly spread throughout the Fei Family.

If before they thought Chuzheng, as an adopted daughter, was lucky to become an adopted daughter with Mo Xiangqiu.

Now they believed Chuzheng truly was about to ascend and become a Phoenix.

Fei Jiang, since moving into the main residence, never allowed any woman to stay over, apart from the employees.

Let alone moving in...

And even occupying the master’s main bedroom.

This relationship was blatantly obvious.

"Isn’t Miss Mo technically the boss’s sister?"

"What does it matter, they’re not related by blood."

"I saw that Miss Mo just now, she’s really beautiful!!"

"I told you I saw her that day, you guys didn’t believe me..."

"Why would the boss like her, what does she have that matches him, being just an adopted daughter? I think the boss is just playing around."

"I think so too."

Some admired, while others envied.

"Cough!"

The group of gossiping servants quickly stood up straight: "Ch... Chief Steward."

"Who’s teaching you to gossip behind others’ backs?"

The servants lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

The Chief Steward with a stern face: "The affairs of the main family are not for you to discuss. You won’t receive this month’s salary. Also, take good care of Miss Mo, and if there’s any negligence, you’ll bear the consequences."

"..."

"What are you standing around for? Get to work!"

The servants scattered like startled birds and beasts, leaving the hallway empty in an instant.

The Chief Steward let out a breath; if the boss was willing to let that Miss Mo live in the master bedroom, it wouldn’t be long before there was a lady of the house.
