Chen Yingge quickly answered. Before Chacha could speak, she heard his mild but cold voice, “Hello, Chen Cha.”
Chacha asked very politely, “May I ask why you’re looking for me?”
What could it be about? Didn’t something happen this last two days? Still asking when she knows the answer.
Chen Yingge felt suffocated for a moment.
He wasn’t as soft as Cheng Yufei. His tone was cold as he said straight to the point, “This matter is over now. I will give you enough compensation. Delete your post.”
Chacha said, “Sure, but there’s no need for compensation.”
Chen Yingge intuitively felt that something was wrong, but Chen Cha had already said goodbye and hung up the phone.
He contemplated for a moment, but still didn’t call back to ask for clarification.
According to his mother, Chen Cha was very stubborn before. Then what happened just now……?
Based on his impression of Chen Cha, he felt that she wasn’t someone foolish nor would she give in because of pressure or something like that.
Chen Yingge suddenly felt bad. He opened Weibo and found Chen Cha’s Weibo. When he clicked on it, he suddenly felt so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
Chen Cha’s previous posts were deleted quite cleanly. There was no trace of anything about Chen Chacha, however, she made a new post.
【Chacha Loves Drinking Tea v: Due to some unspeakable reasons, I have deleted my posts and will not be on Weibo for the time being. The darkness of the world was beyond my imagination. I need to clear my head. Don’t worry about me.】
Wasn’t this implying that someone approached her and used their power to threaten her?
Although he tried to lure her by promising gain, he didn’t remember threatening her!
This girl was too cunning and shameless!

Less than ten minutes after Chen Cha posted on Weibo, Jiao Yushi showed up uninvited.
The secretary made tea and brought it over. Everyone was curious but they didn’t continue watching.
Moreover, it’s almost time to get off work, so it’s important to finish everything and then head home to rest.
Chacha didn’t expect Jiao Yushi to come over and asked curiously, “Why are you here? Don’t tell me you want to comfort me?”
Jiao Yushi smiled slightly. “Of course I came to see your crying face.”
Chacha smiled, unimpressed.
Jiao Yushi said, “Did the Chen family find you?”
Chacha didn’t hide anything from him and said, “Mm, Cheng Yufei and Chen Yingge called me back to back.”
Jiao Yushi fell silent. His was still his usual expressionless self, looking laid-back and indifferent, but at this time, there seemed to be something a little different.
Like anger.
Chacha said, “I want to ask your help for something.”
Jiao Yushi nodded.
He suddenly stopped and raised his hand, saying, “Don’t tell me you’re the biological child of the Chen family. That’s too cliché.”
Chacha: “……?”
Jiao Yushi added, “I’ve checked. Chen Chacha isn’t the Chen family’s child, but Wei Siyun’s.”
Chacha nodded and said, “Your investigation results are correct, and so is your guess that you don’t want to agree with. Accept it, young man, the dog blooded reality is always hard to imagine.”
Jiao Yushi remained silent for a moment, then smiled. “The help you want to ask me for isn’t to expose Chen Chacha’s true identity, right?”
Chacha nodded and said, “Mm, in a few days, you can approach anyone in the Chen family and find a way to reveal Chen Chacha’s true identity, but don’t tell them mine.”
Jiao Yushi agreed. “Fine.”
He didn’t ask more questions. This kind of thing was easy to deduce. Telling them the truth wasn’t as precious as the Chen family finding out about it for themselves. Not to mention that it could make the Chen family feel guiltier.
He was actually thinking of going together with Chen Cha, but she had a different plan.
She reckoned that it wouldn’t take long for the Chen family to find her. It’s not like they would be searching in the vast sea of people. With the existence of the impostor, the chances of finding the real one greatly increased and the time they needed greatly shortened.
Additionally, she wanted things to go on her own terms. Once Chen Chacha’s identity as a counterfeit was exposed, it was only a matter of time before they would find her. She didn’t want to be bound by so-called family, but it’s troublesome if she didn’t recognize them. Who knows what the Chen family would do?
Therefore, she had to make them feel guilty to the point that only by yielding to her wishes could it be alleviated.
It hadn’t even been an hour when the direction of the wind online changed again.
Various major media outlets published vague stories about the incident of ‘Chen Chacha falsely accusing Chen Cha’, and finally speculated that Chen Chacha was entrapped by her enemies.
Even online media indicated as such.
Only a few individualists forwarded Chen Cha’s post to express that Chen Cha had really been browbeaten this time. But this kind of comments had all been blocked.
Chacha didn’t care. They would do whatever they’re supposed to do. It’s just that the people in the company yelled angrily and went crazy on various social media platform expressing that Chen Chacha was the one behind everything.
After the big media + online media whitewashed Chen Chacha, the issue was blocked and everything cooled down. A young traffic star was arrested for using drugs, which immediately overshadowed the popularity of Chen Chacha’s matter.
Although some people ridiculed how the other person got arrested in a timely manner, saving Chen Chacha, the heat had ultimately subsided, so Chen Chacha really managed to get away with it.
———pr
In addition to going home and admitting her mistake, Chen Chacha also paid close attention to the news online these past few days.
At first she thought she could screw over Chen Cha this time, but Chen Cha got that video from somewhere, fought back and won the battle.
Chen Cha was really bold and actually directly implied on Weibo that the Chen family was using their power to bully others.
Since then, Chen Chacha looked down on Chen Cha and thought she was too stupid.
She now felt some appreciation for Chen Cha, but mostly still hate her.
Although she didn’t succeed in discrediting Chen Cha, her deeper purpose was achieved, and Chen Chacha still breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Cha has such a rigid personality and the Chen family wasn’t a pushover either. They have formed a feud now and the possibility of a reconciliation in the future wasn’t high.
But she couldn’t relax because of this.
Chen Chacha had already thought of a fallback plan beforehand.
Although the two sides now had a feud, businessmen always put interests first. When Chen Cha becomes even more prominent in the future, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t reconcile and become superficial friends. If something unexpected happens and they learn the truth, it would end badly for Chen Chacha.
Chen Chacha had already thought of that possibility, so this time she risked notoriety and being recognized as a fool by the Chen family to make Chen Cha and the Chen family hate each other. Firstly, it would be best if Chen Cha was tricked by her like this. Even if Chen Cha successfully counterattacked and won, then Chen Cha and the Chen family would turn against each other and there would be no intersection between them in the short term. That was her biggest goal—— To stall for time.
In the meantime, she’s going to try to amass a fortune and then transfer all her assets. If the situation turns wrong and her true identity might be on the verge of getting exposed, she would immediately take the money and leave without a trace.
Although the status as the youngest child of the Chen family was good, it was still best to be alive, and even better to live lavishly.
Seeing that everything was within her expectations, Chen Chacha showed a satisfied smile.
———pr
The day after Chen Chacha deliberately found someone to throw dirty water on Chen Cha and the former managed to slip away, Jiao Yushi made an appointment with Chen Yingge to have meal together.
Jiao Yushi invited Chen Yingge to Lilai, a three-star restaurant. It wasn’t particularly known because it adopted a membership system and usually doesn’t promote much. It was located on the top floor of the X Plaza Building and has a good view.
The location they chose was in a corner by the window. There’s nothing around except walls, flowers, potted plants and other items. It was a very quiet seat and even the live piano playing in the center of the restaurant could barely be heard, leaving only the faintest sound.
Jiao Yushi meeting Chen Yingge there was enough to give him face. He originally planned to make an appointment with the other party at the small restaurant next to the school and deal with him casually. It was mainly because Chacha asked, and after learning about it, she took the initiative to make a restaurant reservation for him, which was why he was so ‘serious’.
Chen Yingge came there today to make a stand.
Although their family was at loggerheads with Chen Cha in this matter and they weren’t afraid of her, they still personally didn’t want to be enemies with her.
As soon as they thought about it, they could figure out what Chen Chacha was trying to do.
But even though they knew Chen Chacha disliked Chen Cha, they didn’t expect that she would hate Chen Cha to such a degree.
It was an effort to worsen the relationship between them and Chen Cha. Once the truth was revealed, it was killing one thousand enemy soldiers while one’s own self lose eight hundred[1]to inflict damage on the enemy while one’s own side suffers a smaller but comparable level of damage soldiers.
After figuring this out, Cheng Yufei immediately questioned Chen Chacha.
Chen Chacha was also impressive. She didn’t have the usual dignity of young people her age, and when she saw Cheng Yufei, she immediately knelt down on the ground and burst into tears, saying that she was innocent and unjustly accused. The whole process was done in one go, surpassing the peak of her acting skills.
Cheng Yufei came to her own conclusion, so she naturally didn’t believe her words. After expressing her disappointment, Chen Chacha immediately changed her story, saying that she did it in the heat of the moment and cried so bitterly that it made people feel bad.
Cheng Yufei was disappointed, but after all, Chen Chacha was her daughter, so she could only clean up her mess.
But she was so furious that she verbally warned Chen Chacha that she would never help her out again next time.
After the two men sat down, a waiter took their order and wine was served first. Two glasses of wine were poured and both took a sip.
As he swirled the glass in his hand, Chen Yingge asked, “Did you invite me here because of Chen Cha?”
Jiao Yushi smelled the aroma of the wine, took a sip, then put down the glass. He said with mockery in his eyes, “I now know why Chen Chacha is stupid and nasty, she’s been indulged by you lot.”
Chen Yingge’s face turned slightly cold.
He also knew that his sister was stupid as hell and crazily petty, that he almost wanted to go to Zhihu[2]a Quora-type question and answer site and ask if there was any way to change one’s stupid nature.
But in the end, she’s still his sister. Granted that her own family members scold her, how could outsiders scold her so bluntly?
Chen Yingge chuckled and said, “I thought you’re a person who’s concealing your talents, but now I see you’re just a brat. Have no one taught you manners?”
Jiao Yushi wasn’t annoyed. He said, “No one really did.”
Chen Yingge: “……”
Damn, it makes him look like a villain who’s deliberately poking on other people’s sore spot.
If his grandparents were present, they would definitely smack his head.
Jiao Yushi had a slight understanding of the Chen family and knew that the two elders were very dignified people and were strict in educating their children.
It’s a pity that no matter how strict their education was, their children were still all particularly cunning; especially their grandson who acted like a gentleman on the surface, but has dirty methods. However, in terms of dealing with people, the other party still has grace.
Jiao Yushi felt a lot happier seeing the other party in an awkward position. Only then did he hand out the investigation report he previously got.
Chen Yingge was taken aback. He knew that this document must be the main purpose of Jiao Yushi inviting him out, but he had no idea what it was.
Jiao Yushi said, “Take a look, you’ll like it.”
