Chapter 309: Chapter 302: Took Photos (First Update)
Wu Jingjingâs sharp scream echoed throughout the entire cafĂ©, and the hatred in her words was undeniably real.
Wu Chengzu was momentarily stunned. He couldnât understand what he had done wrong for Wu Jingjing to hate him this much.
"Wu Jingjing, Iâm your father. Do you know who youâre talking to?"
"Youâre not my dad! I donât have a dad like you! Why wasnât it you who died instead of mom back then? Why donât you just die!"
Wu Jingjingâs words stunned everyone present. Bai Yiran, not wanting Xiao Lang to see the scene, had Wang Chenyang take him inside.
Slap!
Wu Chengzu slapped Wu Jingjing across the face. "You beast!"
Wu Jingjing covered her face, stubbornly holding back her tears.
Bai Yiran couldnât bear to watch the father and daughter continue like this, so she had no choice but to step forward.
"Mr. Wu, please calm down, both of you. I feel there must be some misunderstanding between you two."
Wu Chengzu glanced at Bai Yiran, and despite his anger, nodded politely when looking at her. "Thank you for today. We wonât disturb you any longer."
Saying this, Wu Chengzu prepared to leave with Wu Jingjing.
"Let go of me! I wonât go with you!" Wu Jingjing tried to break free and bit down hard on the base of Wu Chengzuâs thumb. Wu Chengzu, wincing in pain, released his grip, and Wu Jingjing seized the opportunity to run behind Bai Yiran.
"Wu Jingjing, donât test my patience. Come here right now!" Wu Chengzu said in a deep voice.
Wu Jingjing was scared but remained stubbornly hidden behind Bai Yiran.
Again with this... Bai Yiran felt a bit helpless. Why does this child like hiding behind her so much? She was the same the first time they met...
Wait! Thinking about their first meeting, Bai Yiran suddenly remembered something and asked Wu Chengzu, "Mr. Wu, if I hadnât told you Jingjing was here today, would you have known she ran away from home?"
Wu Chengzu was taken aback, his expression turning strange; obviously, he didnât know.
"And also..." Bai Yiran continued, "Judging from Jingjingâs condition, it seems she has been missing for several days. Why hasnât anyone told you? As far as I know, she lived with her aunt, right? Wu Jingjing disappearing like that and her aunt not telling you, does that make sense?"
Upon hearing Bai Yiranâs words, Wu Chengzuâs face grew increasingly darker, a trace of severity flashing in his eyes.
"Jingjing, tell me what happened? Why did you run away from home?" Realizing the problem, Bai Yiran asked.
Wu Jingjing bit her lip, seemingly wanting to say something but still too afraid to speak.
"Itâs okay, Jingjing, go ahead and say it..." Bai Yiranâs voice was gentle, and she felt that Wu Jingjing must have some unspoken grievance.
"I..." Wu Jingjing looked at Wu Chengzu, shook her head, and still didnât say anything.
Wu Chengzu furrowed his brow. This was the first time he observed his daughter so carefully. He was suddenly struck by Wu Jingjingâs aggrieved yet afraid-to-speak appearance, causing a pang in his heart.
Bai Yiran squatted down, softly hugging Wu Jingjing, "Jingjing, if youâre ever wronged, you must speak up so your dad can stand up for you! If you donât say anything, heâll only misunderstand and think youâre a bad child, but our Jingjing is a good child, isnât that right?"
Watching Bai Yiran gently coax Wu Jingjing, Wu Chengzu felt something strange in his heart.
Big tears rolled down Wu Jingjingâs cheeks, and when she finally spoke, her words shocked everyone, "My auntâs boyfriend pinned me to the bed, took off my clothes, bullied me, and even took photos..."
