Chapter 810: Chapter 810: The Chi Family’s Misfortune[(2)]

Chi Ya endured so much grievance, she originally thought she could talk to her about it. But before she could even utter a word, she was interrogated, and instantly, feeling indignant, she pursed her lips and complained discontentedly, “I’ve just come back, that’s all. I’m not some rat everyone scorns, why can’t I return?”

Gu Qiaomei wished she could slap her into awareness, her gaze on her was full of disappointment and frustration of aspirations unmet. “Didn’t I call you to remind you not to come back during this time? Why did you run back here? And where were you when I called you the day before yesterday?”

Chi Ya felt somewhat guilty, “Mom, it’s not easy for me to come back, why are you fussing over these trivial details? Don’t you want to see me?”

She crawled out of her own stomach, how could Gu Qiaomei not know what Chi Ya’s change of topic meant? Gu Qiaomei’s expression darkened, and her face grew uglier, “Were you already back in the country at that time? You came back but kept it from me, not telling me?”

“It’s not that I didn’t want to tell you, it’s that you and dad wouldn’t let me come back. I was all alone overseas, I couldn’t eat well, I couldn’t sleep well, I missed you, and I missed home. Besides, no one recognizes me now, I went to dad’s company today, and even the reception did not recognize me, it shouldn’t matter that I’m back, right?”

“You even ran off to your dad’s company?” Gu Qiaomei’s face could no longer be described as just ugly, it was extremely ugly, to the utmost extent!

“I… went there.”

“How could I have given birth to you?” Right now, Gu Qiaomei immensely regretted not having the heart to abort Chi Ya when she was pregnant with her. How could such a foolish daughter be her own?

If she had known that Chi Ya would turn out like this, she would have never given birth to her in the first place!

Chi Ya cried out in discontent, “Mom!”

“Don’t call me mom! Who’s your mom! Do you still need to call me ‘mom’ now? Don’t you have your own opinions? What are you doing here looking for me?”

Chi Ya was scolded to the point of being drenched in shameful blood. The smart thing to do at this moment would be to admit her wrong to Gu Qiaomei, but instead, she boldly spoke the truth, “I’ve taken on a movie role, I originally made an agreement with the director to play the female secondary character. But then Sheng Aiyi–you know her–suddenly had her family invest in the movie, aiming to push me out of my role. Mom, can you talk to dad for me, ask him to invest in the movie as well? This movie is sure to make a profit, it’s made by a famous director, the box office is guaranteed.”

Gu Qiaomei’s ears were buzzing with anger.

She thought Chi Ya had already reached the pinnacle of foolishness, but little did she expect that she could be even more foolish for all to see!

Chi Ya, with delayed realization, finally noticed that Gu Qiaomei’s complexion was pale and, showing concern, supported Gu Qiaomei’s arm, “Mom, what’s wrong? Is there something discomforting about your body? Why does your face look so terrible? Should I call the personal doctor to check on you?”

Gu Qiaomei’s temple throbbed twice, as she pulled away from her and turned her head, her tone finally softened a bit as she asked her, “Haven’t you been watching the news these past few days?”

“What news?” Chi Ya was clueless.

She had been busy these past few days following Brother Chengyan and also contending for the movie role, she had had no time to watch the news.

Seeing her clueless expression, Gu Qiaomei knew that she really knew nothing. Just when her temple had started to feel a bit better, the pain suddenly flared up again, “Don’t you know that your dad’s company is in trouble?”
