CHAPTER 293: CHAPTER 91: INDULGENCE

"You’re asking me to keep my distance from Yishao?" As soon as Chang Chi returned home, she was called over by Su Qingzhang, and she found it hard to believe that her godfather, who had always been so affectionate towards her, would make such a request.

Chang Mei, who was also at the scene, found it hard to understand as well. Su Qingzhang had always been lenient with Ziceng and Chang Chi, and compared to the unreliable Ziceng, Su Qingzhang always seemed to grant every request Chang Chi made.

"Why?" Chang Chi ignored Chang Mei’s gestures and said angrily, "Godfather, Yishao and I are truly in love."

"Are you sure Hang Yishao isn’t just playing with you, that he’s serious," Su Qingzhang rubbed his temples, having received too much information that day. The usually obedient Chang Chi had actually learned to talk back.

"Of course, I... Although he hasn’t said it, I know," Chang Chi argued vehemently. If it were not for his affection for her, why would Hang Yishao even be with her?

"But just today, Hang Yishao personally told me he hopes to marry Ziceng after graduation," Su Qingzhang didn’t want to put it so bluntly, but was afraid that if he didn’t make it clear, Chang Chi wouldn’t give up.

"That’s impossible, godfather, you must have been bewitched by Ziceng’s trickery. I will call Yishao and let him tell you," Chang Chi hurriedly dialed Hang Yishao’s number.

After several prolonged rings, the voice of Hang Yishao came through from the other end of the phone.

"Yishao, please tell godfather..." Chang Chi pleaded.

"I made myself very clear today with Uncle Su," the voice of Hang Yishao came through the phone.

"It was really you who said that you wanted to marry Ziceng," a hint of Hang Yishao’s coldness crept into Chang Chi, who ever since the day he asked her to get out of the car, had rarely contacted her again.

"Yes, I’ve already spoken to Uncle Su about it, Xiao Chi, you can find someone better." Hang Yishao was grateful that he had never had a physical relationship with Chang Chi, for if he had crossed that line, now it would be utterly indefensible, even with ten mouths.

"It can’t be true, I’ve liked you for so many years, don’t you know how many years I’ve liked you," Chang Chi was agitated, and she slammed her phone onto the ground.

Chang Mei watched her crying daughter on the side. Hang Yishao was indeed quite scheming. Although she didn’t know exactly what Hang Yishao discussed with Su Qingzhang today, from Su Qingzhang’s expression and tone, it was clear they must have reached some kind of agreement. With Su Qingzhang intervening to clarify the relationship between Hang Yishao and Chang Chi, and then agreeing to the marriage between Ziceng and him, it was quite a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone.

"Xiao Chi," seeing that Su Qingzhang wasn’t speaking anymore and the room was left with only Chang Chi’s crying, Chang Mei took her out, now was not the time to meddle in this.

"Calm down," Chang Mei pushed Chang Chi into her own room and closed the door. Today, Yan Wuxu had again entangled Su Qingzhang about setting up a fund. Su Qingzhang was in a good mood and promptly agreed, and with Hang Yishao pressing firmly, the standing of Mei and her daughter had now been severely shaken.

"Calm down? How can I calm down," Chang Chi acted hysterically, pushing away Chang Mei, "You think everyone can be like you. To watch one godfather die and then marry another without standing up for yourself, if you weren’t so spineless, would people be talking behind my back that I’m being so forward?"

Chang Chi was full of hatred. She originally thought that by sending a warning to Ziceng, she could rise above the situation. Now, to her dismay, even her godfather had personally intervened, "If it weren’t because I’m not his real daughter, if I were also the Su family’s young miss, why wouldn’t Yishao choose me?" Chang Chi stubbornly believed that Hang Yishao chose Ziceng for the Su family’s wealth.

With a "slap," Chang Mei’s palm struck down, and Chang Chi was stunned, glaring at Chang Mei with hatred before she stormed out.

Just as Ziceng got home, contemplating the guest list for the banquet she needed to draft and the goods from Bianjing City that should be transported over, as well as the follow-up auction expenses, she had just approached the hall when she was hit head-on by a whirlwind-like Chang Chi.

"Get out of my way," Chang Chi detested Ziceng, wishing at that moment she could tear her apart, but she still retained a bit of rationality. After all, she was in the Su family home and needed to maintain some decorum. Stumbling, Chang Chi got into a car and drove away.

"Out of the blue, as if she had swallowed dynamite," Ziceng touched her sore shoulder, took a few more steps, and then saw Chang Mei rushing down hurriedly, running towards the direction of the garage.
