Chapter 133: He Wanted to Throw the Adulterous Couple to Mine in Africa

When Chi Jiao reached the manor, the first thing she saw was Gu Xia panting hard as he ran. Closely behind him was Shen Liao, while Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu were sitting together peacefully.
“Master Jiao, I’ll leave first. Have a nice chat with the big shots.” Na Yankun felt very pressured every time he interacted with them. Therefore, he bade Chi Jiao farewell.
“Okay, go on.” Chi Jiao nodded.
“Boss Jiao! Save me!” When Gu Xia discovered Chi Jiao, he hurriedly ran towards her and hid behind her.
When Shen Liao saw Chi Jiao, he immediately stopped chasing after Gu Xia, tidied his clothes, and walked back to the bonfire expressionlessly.
“Jiaojiao, come sit here.” Yan Zhengchen waved at her when he saw her.
Gong Lu quickly sat up straight and smiled at her.
Chi Jiao composed herself and walked to the empty seat beside Yan Zhengchen.
“Jiaojiao, you attended a banquet earlier?” Gong Lu asked gently when he saw her evening gown.
Chi Jiao nodded. “I went to the Lan family’s event.”
As she spoke, her gaze was fixed on Shen Liao sitting opposite her.
However, Shen Liao was looking down, pretending not to see her.
Gong Lu nodded and walked towards the villa not far away. “I’ll get some warm milk for you to warm up.”
Gu Xia looked at Chi Jiao, then at Shen Liao, and sighed faintly.
He wondered when Shen Liao would change this awkward personality of his.
He obviously didn’t use a phone, yet he was making others update him about Jiaojiao’s situation every day.
But now that they had met, he had a cold, poker face and refused to say a word.
“Jiaojiao, have some of this?” Yan Zhengchen picked up two piping hot skewers and handed them to her.
“Your stomach isn’t good. You shouldn’t eat so much of this,” Shen Liao finally said in a muffled voice when he saw Chi Jiao taking the skewers.
“I thought you’re planning to ignore me.” Chi Jiao smiled and placed the skewers down. She then exchanged glances with Yan Zhengchen.
She didn’t actually plan to eat it, and Yan Zhengchen didn’t really want her to either.
They were just trying to agitate a certain someone.
Shen Liao looked up at her with a helpless and doting gaze. “I really can’t handle you.”
“It was my last-minute decision to leave Mount Li and return here. I’m very sorry for not discussing it with you all,” Chi Jiao said softly, knowing what he was angry about.
Yan Zhengchen, Gong Lu, Shen Liao, Gu Xia, and Chi Yexi were all very important family members to her.
They loved and protected her. They always treated her as their biological sister.
Therefore, she was willing to give in to them and coax them during appropriate times.
As the girl’s apologetic voice fell softly into Shen Liao’s ears, he was no longer able to vent his anger.
“Since you’ve returned, then so be it. If anyone dares to bully you, you have to tell us,” Shen Liao said in a tone that did not allow for negotiation. “If you hide it, I will really be angry.”
Chi Jiao nodded.
“You attended the Lan family’s banquet today. Why are you back so early? Did something unpleasant happen?” Yan Zhengchen asked as he looked at her with a profound gaze.
He had investigated Chi Yan, so he naturally knew about her relationship with Lan Yunhan.
He was also aware of the arranged marriage between Lan Yunhan and Jiaojiao.
If it wasn’t for his concern for Jiaojiao’s feelings and his fear of scaring her, he would have thrown that adulterous pair to mine in Africa.
