The upbringing in her bones told her that it was inappropriate and inappropriate to do so.

But she couldn't help it.

She must find out the truth!

With some apologies, she shed all her tears, and said seriously: "Uncle Yuan, can we meet?"

"Avoid everyone and meet privately," she emphasizes.

Huo Linyuan seemed to have angered Uncle Yuan because of her.

She couldn't let him find out that she still had contact with Uncle Yuan.

Silence spread.

Just when Cheng Zhi's heart was beating faster and faster and he was about to beg, a sigh finally came from the opposite side.

"There's nothing I can do about you. Your persistence is [-]% like that of Old Cheng!"

Hearing him mention his father, the tears that he suppressed fell down his cheeks instantly.

"Uncle Yuan, my father is him!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the opposite party, "Well, like last time, you send me your location, and I will send someone to pick you up as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Yuan!"

Not long after I hung up the phone, the driver I met last time appeared in front of me.

After getting in the car, Cheng Zhi thought over and over what he was going to say for a while.

But when she really saw Yuan Chengjie, she found that the other party didn't intend to talk to her about the Qi family.

"You said you want to meet in private, at my house, is it private enough?" Yuan Chengjie joked.

Cheng Zhi followed him around the room, her downcast eyes filled with thoughts.

"Yes. Uncle Yuan, I have something to say."

Nodding, the man in home clothes has a calm demeanor and is very amiable when he smiles.

"Xiaoxiao and her mother went shopping, and I let the servants go back first. Let's go to the chess and card room to chat? You are too tense, you should relax."

Playing the simplest backgammon, Cheng Zhi became more and more absent-minded.

After accidentally knocking off a few blue glass beads, she stood up and apologized amidst the sound of the balls bouncing.

Afterwards, he endured bitterness and said frankly: "Uncle Yuan, I don't have time to relax. After today, I will resume my life from opening my eyes, being busy to going to sleep. I don't know when the next rest will be."

Her expression became more and more sincere, her eyes were slightly red, and she quietly looked at the person opposite.

The few strands of silver hair on his temples always reminded her of her father.

"Seeing you, I just want to know some things about that year. You don't need to pity me, and you don't need to bother to guide me to relax, let alone persuade me, let me live a brand new life..."

With tears in her eyelashes, she suppressed her sobs and said clearly, "I just want to seek the truth and justice for the Cheng family!"

Yuan Chengjie suppressed his smile as early as the first sentence she uttered.

After she finished speaking, he looked up at her for a while, then suddenly lowered his eyes, and let out a long and slow sigh.

He bent over to pick up the glass beads one by one on the ground, and said, "As a father, I know that Lao Cheng must hope that you can get out of the misfortune and live your own life well."

Cheng Zhi shook her head, her heart was filled with aching pain.

How to get out?

Run away and hide?

Will Huo Linyuan spare her?

Will those nightmares let her go?

"Don't be sad, I understand what you said." Yuan Chengjie sat back in his original position, put away the glass beads, and signaled her to sit down.

He blinked his eyes, and his eyes gradually faded away, "That incident back then..."

"father!"

"dad?"

A young, soft and bright female voice suddenly came from outside, accompanied by increasingly clear footsteps.

Yuan Chengjie's expression changed slightly, "It's Xiaoxiao!"

Dazed for a moment, Cheng Zhi was affected by his panic, subconsciously stood up, a little at a loss.

She has heard of Yuan Xiaoxiao, but she is not familiar with it.
