Although he said that, Staff Officer Du’s heart had turned cold.

If his daughter was wronged by Qin Xiu, she wouldn’t have looked so afraid. His daughter’s fear... was more like she was afraid that he would call Qin Xiu to confirm it.

Why would she be afraid?

This shouldn’t be her reaction.

Staff Officer Du’s heart turned cold as he became more and more puzzled. His instincts told him that the matter between his daughter and Qin Xiu was not so simple. There were many things he did not know!

Knowing that her father meant what he said, Du Jiayi stopped pretending and smiled miserably. Before she could speak, tears fell from her eyes.

Staff Officer Du heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. "If you’ve been wronged, you should just tell your mother and me. Why face it alone? Did Qin Xiu bully you? Did the two of you have a conflict?"

Staff Officer Du, who didn’t know anything, thought that the two young people were having a conflict. He didn’t think about anything else at all. He didn’t expect to almost faint from anger.

One second ago, Du Jiayi was still crying. The next second, she was smiling. It was a smile that was uglier than crying. Staff Officer Du was shocked. He raised his voice and got angry again. "What happened? Tell me! Did he let you down?!"

If Qin Xiu had bullied her or let her down...

Du Jiayi pulled Staff Officer Du’s sleeve tightly and told him the truth. "Dad, I lied to you! I, I... I’m not with Qin Xiu at all..."

The more she spoke, the darker Staff Officer Du’s expression became. In the end, his eyes were filled with anger.

"That means that you’ve been sticking to him for the past few years. He, Qin Xiu, never even looked at you, right?" Staff Officer Du gritted his teeth and asked. He felt that his chest was about to explode from anger. His breathing was rapid, and his vision was turning black.

Du Jiayi didn’t dare to hide it anymore. She was afraid that Staff Officer Du would really call and ask Qin Xiu. At that time, she would really lose all her dignity in front of Qin Xiu.

Du Jiayi, who was afraid and aggrieved, cried until her lips turned pale. She was so afraid that she did not dare to continue.

However, Staff Officer Du, who was so angry that he was about to faint, didn’t give Du Jiayi a chance to escape. "Answer me honestly. If you dare to hide anything again, today..." He reached for his waist. This was the action of touching a gun.

Du Jiayi’s shoulders trembled. She said miserably, "I... I was the one who clung to him. But what can I do? Dad, I..."

Smack!

He slapped her hard. The sound was so loud that even the maid, who was busy preparing breakfast, heard it. She was so frightened that she ran out while wiping her hands. "What happened? What happened? Why are you angry so early in the morning?"

The maid hired by the Du family was Staff Officer Du’s cousin. In the past, Staff Officer Du’s family was so poor that they couldn’t even put food on the table. It was this cousin’s family who would offer them help every few days.

Hence, although this cousin did housework for the Du family, she had always been respected by Staff Officer Du. Even Madam Li and her children respected her.

When she came out, she saw the finger marks on Du Jiayi’s fair face. She had always been pampered, but now, there was a red handprint on her cheek.

Why were they fighting?!

This was the first time she saw Du Jiayi, whom no one dared to offend, getting beaten up! And it was by the person who doted on her the most.
