First Miss Badass
Chapter 3 Little Dumpling Bread
The woman sitting to the left of her father was her stepmother, Zhu Limin. The woman sitting to the right of her father, who did not look much older than her, was her half-sister. She was also the daughter that Zhu Limin had brought. He had changed his surname to Chi, and his name was Chi Yan. The little boy sitting on the chair with an impatient expression was his half-sister, Chi Ze, who this year was eight years old.
Chi Jiao's gaze landed on Chi Yan.
Chi Yan held his father's arm tightly as they chatted. Her pretty face, which was similar to Zhu Limin's face, smiled happily.
Chi Mingwei also listened to him with a smile.
The closeness between them was as if they were a father and son who had a biological relationship.
In the end, it was Zhu Limin who saw Chi Jiao first.
“Hei, Jiaojiao back.” Zhu Limin smiled and waved at Chi Jiao. “Come and sit here.”
Chi Mingwei's gaze turned to Chi Jiao as she removed her arm from Chi Yan's grasp with a slightly uncomfortable expression on her face.
Chi Yan was slightly startled before turning his gaze towards Chi Jiao as well.
The young girl was thin and weak. Her skin was cold and flawless, and her palm-sized face was as beautiful as a porcelain doll. His black, long hair was slightly curly draped over his shoulder, and there was a cherry hairpin in his shell.
Its characteristics are beautiful without defects, clean, and beautiful.
At the same time, her delicate and petite appearance easily aroused one's desire to protect her.
Jealousy flashed in Chi Yan's eyes, but when he saw Chi Jiao's clothes, he sneered in disdain.
Wearing clothes bought from a street vendor, he really did not look presentable.
“Jiaojiao, let's sit here.” Chi Mingwei moved aside and made room for him.
The expressions of Chi Yan and Zhu Limin changed back then.
Chi Jiao did not care about Chi Yan's ugly expression. He walked straight to Chi Mingwei's side and sat down, calling her “Daddy” gently.
“Did your body get better recently? Are you sick again?” Chi Mingwei asked.
Chi Jiao smiled faintly, revealing her dimples. “I've been much better.”
Chi Mingwei nodded. “Good if you feel better. Don't go back to Mount Li in the future and stay by Father's side. I'll take care of you.”
Chi Jiao is a premature baby. Her mother was not in good health and had died of illness less than two months after giving birth to her. At that moment, Chi Jiao's health was also poor. He would be hospitalized every day, and even Chi Mingwei felt that she could not support him.
Then, it was Chi Jiao's grandfather who took over. He contacted his famous Chinese medicine physician friend at Mount Li, asking him to take Chi Jiao as his goddaughter. He was sent to his place to be raised by her.
Back then, Chi Jiao had not even turned one year when she was sent there. Seventeen years since then.
In these seventeen years, the number of times Chi Mingwei visited Chi Jiao could be counted with one hand.
It's not that he doesn't miss his daughter. It was because the grandfather god Chi Jiao had a strange temperament and refused to let him go.
Chi Jiao's life was saved by her godfather. Therefore, he did not dare to offend her and could only endure it.
Now that the little bread dumplings in Chi Mingwei's memory had grown into a slender and graceful young woman, she was still very touched.
He owed Jiaojiao too much. He had to slowly make up for it in the future.
Zhu Limin's fingernails stuck into his palm when the neglected woman saw that Chi Mingwei and Chi Jiao were getting along well.
“Mingwei, introduce the rest to Jiaojiao first,” Zhu Limin said with a smile.
“What to introduce?” The boy sitting in the single seat suddenly said in a strange tone.
“Quite Chi Jiao has our father. No need to know us. We don't want to know him either. Village people!”
After saying that, Chi Ze made a face towards Chi Jiao.
