Mentally, he always stood on the side of Mi Fang and her daughter and scolded her daughter. Materially, Mi Tu had everything his daughter had, and even things his daughter didn't have. Isn't this what it means to not fight or compete?

With these things going through his mind, Cheng Xiaolong fell into a drowsy sleep and didn't open his eyes until after ten o'clock.

After waking up, he sat up slowly. He had just had a lot of messy dreams, but his daughter never appeared in his dreams again. He couldn't help feeling a little lost.

He was a little thirsty and planned to go out to get a glass of water, but just as he was about to get up, he heard voices outside.

Remembering what his daughter once said, that Mi Fang and her daughter were one way in front of him and another way in front of her, he did not walk out for some reason, but quietly stood behind the bedroom door and listened to the conversation outside.

"Mom, why did you call me to come back? Didn't I tell you before that I had an appointment with my friends to go out and play today?"

In the living room, Mitu was bored and playing with his cell phone, complaining about Mi Fang.

Mi Fang glanced at the bedroom, and when she saw no movement there, she said softly, "Keep your voice down, Lao Cheng is still at home. I asked you to come back for a reason. He didn't sleep all night last night, and I saw Yuan Li's paper on his computer this morning. Do you think he found out that you were paying others to revise their papers for him?"

After a sleepless night, Yuan Li asked Mi Tu about her thesis when she saw her.

These three things combined forced her to be cautious. Did Cheng Xiaolong know something?

However, Cheng Xiaolong, who was behind the bedroom door, felt like he was hit hard when he heard what was said outside!

He just thought that Mi Tu and Yuan Li were in a relationship, so she helped him revise the paper. He didn't expect that Mi Tu asked him to revise more than just Yuan Li's paper. She was selling his face!

Moreover, Mi Fang actually knew about this!

He wanted to rush out and ask Mi Tu why she did this, and why Mi Fang didn't stop Mi Tu and helped her hide it from him! But the conversation outside was still going on, so he held back.

"No way?"

Mi Tu stopped fiddling with his phone and looked up at Mi Fang.

Mi Fang sighed. She felt that this was probably the case. However, she rolled her eyes and said, "If he asks you about this later, you can say that you know nothing. You just agreed to let him help you look at it, and you didn't know that they wrote his name on the paper, let alone asking for money."

Mi Tu nodded, thinking about how Cheng Xiaolong had been fooled into believing everything they said over the years, and she was not so worried anymore. She smiled and said, "That old man is very easy to fool. I know what to say."

Mi Tu's tone was full of mockery towards Cheng Xiaolong, completely lacking the respect he had in the past. Even the way he addressed him changed from Uncle Cheng to "old man".

Mi Fang scolded, "You've been taking him less and less seriously lately. Don't call him like that at home, what if he hears it?"

"Isn't he sleeping?"

Mitu didn't care.

Mi Fang couldn't do anything about her, but knowing that Cheng Xiaolong had stayed up all night, he must be sleeping now, otherwise they wouldn't dare to discuss these things at home.

"Cheng Jia is gone. You will be the only daughter in this family from now on. You have to coax Old Cheng well. His connections can still help you a lot."

Mi Fang advised Mi Tu that even if she didn't want to please him anymore, she had to wait until he was no longer of any use to them.

The two of them had a good plan. Cheng Xiaolong, who was behind the bedroom door, was shaking with anger. He had always thought that Mi Fang was gentle and kind, and Mitu was well-behaved and sensible, but it turned out that these were all performed by them for him!

But their true faces are so shrewd and utilitarian!

"By the way, Mom, I dreamed about Cheng Jia yesterday."

Mitu's words outside attracted Cheng Xiaolong's attention again. Since it was related to his daughter, he quickly pricked up his ears to listen.

"It's just a dream."

Mi Fang didn't care much and just picked the leeks in her hand.

However, when Mi Tu thought of the dream she had last night, her face turned a little ugly. She dreamed that Cheng Jia was crying and asking for her life.

However, she did not tell her mother that Yuan Li pushed Cheng Jia into the river and drowned her, so she didn't say much at this time.

The two started chatting about other topics. After listening for a while without hearing anything about his daughter's situation, Cheng Xiaolong pretended to have just woken up, opened the door and walked out.

At this time, Mi Fang and her daughter were already busy in the kitchen. Seeing Cheng Xiaolong coming out, Mi Fang smiled and said, "Old Cheng, Tutu knows that you like dumplings stuffed with leeks. When I came here, I saw that the leeks were fresh, so I bought some. Let's have dumplings for lunch."

Cheng Xiaolong responded, but he looked unhappy, so Mi Fang winked at Mitu. Mitu understood, put down his work, went to the living room and brought a few boxes of nutritional supplements to Cheng Xiaolong.

"Uncle Cheng, my classmate sold this nutritional supplement to his parents, saying that it has a good effect, but it is from abroad and is hard to buy. I asked him for a long time to help me buy these boxes."

Mi Tu said this half-coquettishly, but Cheng Xiaolong did not smile and say that she was filial as usual, but his expression remained ugly.

Cheng Xiaolong snorted, "Which classmate? Yuan Li?"

Mi Tu was stunned by the question. Looking at the old man's expression, he thought that he did know that Yuan Li wrote his name on the paper. He cursed him for being stubborn, but smiled and said, "No, Uncle Cheng said before that Yuan Li's character was not good and we were not allowed to have much contact with him. I still remember it."

Cheng Xiaolong felt heartbroken and ironic when he saw Mi Tu's well-behaved appearance. He had always treated Mi Tu as his own daughter. He even knew that his daughter was too strong-willed and was afraid that Mi Tu would be wronged, so he protected her everywhere. However, she treated him like a fool. Was he so easy to fool?

"Let me ask you, what's the matter with Yuan Li's paper? Why is my name on his paper?"

Cheng Xiaolong was a little messy in the morning and forgot to turn off his computer when he returned to the bedroom. Mi Fang had already seen Yuan Li's thesis displayed on his computer, so this matter had to be brought to light.

However, if he asked directly whether his daughter was dead or alive, Mi Tu would definitely not tell him the truth, so he had to investigate secretly.

When questioned by Cheng Xiaolong, Mi Tu pretended to know nothing and said in surprise: "No way, how could your name be on his paper?"

Then she lowered her head and said apologetically, "Yuan Li found me before and said that he was Jia Jia's boyfriend, and Jia Jia promised him that she would show you his paper. But Jia Jia left home in anger and didn't even contact him. I was afraid that Jia Jia would regret it when she came back one day, so I showed you his paper, but I said it was mine because I was afraid you would be angry. But I really didn't know that he added your name on the paper!"

Although Yuan Li already has a doctorate, the paper he wrote is still too superficial for Cheng Xiaolong, who has been researching for half his life. Writing Cheng Xiaolong's name on such a paper will not increase Cheng Xiaolong's authority and fame at all, but only express to outsiders that Cheng Xiaolong is optimistic about Yuan Li.
