Chapter 267: Chapter 266 Disappointment Chapter 267: Chapter 266 Disappointment Qi Zhen sneered, “With your EQ, you managed to get a boyfriend? I give you three months before you get dumped!”

Qi Yue’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, “Better than being single like you.”

“You…” Qi Zhen, thinking about her failed blind date with Chen Jing, angrily retorted, “That’s just because I’m not interested! I have more suitors than the potatoes in your field! What’s there for you to be proud of!”

Qi Yue said with utmost seriousness, “All those potatoes combined aren’t even comparable to my boyfriend.”

Qi Zhen looked at her, love-struck and yet proud, choked with emotion, her expression indescribable, “You must have forgotten the lesson Mufan taught you! Get lost! A good dog doesn’t stand in the way!”

As she spoke, Qi Zhen pushed Qi Yue aside and ran forward.

She had barely run a few steps when a car stopped by the roadside, and two people quickly got out, one after another, and charged straight toward Qi Zhen.

“Zhenzhen!” Yu Shuhua, looking haggard, ran over excitedly upon seeing Qi Zhen.

Seeing Qi Wanli and Yu Shuhua, Qi Zhen’s face instantly changed, and she turned to run.

But Qi Wanli was fast and intercepted her in time, “Zhenzhen! Have you had enough trouble yet?”

As he spoke, Qi Wanli seemed to smell the strong scent of alcohol on Qi Zhen, and his already anxious expression suddenly turned serious and stern, his chest heaving sharply as he breathed, “Qi Zhen! Have you been drinking?”

Meeting Qi Wanli’s stern gaze, Qi Zhen couldn’t help trembling, her entire body as if frozen, her expression stiffening.

But quickly, fear and guilt were dispersed by alcohol, and she glared at her father with anger, “Yes! I’ve been drinking! So what if I have?”

Qi Wanli’s face turned ice-cold, “Do you realize you have a competition tomorrow?!”

Qi Zhen waved her hand nonchalantly, “I know, I know… of course I know… it’s just a stupid competition… what’s the big deal…”
A crisp slap rang out.

Qi Wanli’s palm landed heavily on Qi Zhen’s face.

Qi Zhen’s head turned from the impact, standing there, stunned, half of her face swelling rapidly, her expression one of utter shock.

Yu Shuhua by the side was also terrified, she hugged Qi Zhen and shrieked at Qi Wanli, “Old Qi! Have you lost your mind? I finally find my daughter and now you’re going to drive her away again? If anything happens to Zhenzhen, I’ll never let you off!”

Although Qi Wanli was very strict with Qi Zhen, he had never actually laid a hand on her, this was only the second time he had slapped her.

After the last slap, Qi Zhen ran away from home, and they had just found her following a phone call from Qi Yue just moments earlier.

On his way there, he had reminded himself that he must communicate well with his daughter this time, but yet… he still couldn’t suppress his anger.

He looked at the daughter in front of him as if she were a stranger, unable to comprehend how the daughter he had devotedly raised could fall so far!

Respecting every competition is as important as life itself for an athlete, yet she spoke so carelessly about “just a stupid competition.”

“Do you know how many people spend their entire lives without the chance to stand on that stage, reach the height that you’re at, and you, with such good conditions, achieving it so smoothly, just to waste it? Qi Zhen… you have truly… disappointed me…”
