Chapter 685

"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you."

Liu Xu frowned and tapped the edge of the bowl lightly with her chopsticks, her voice filled with undisguised disgust.

Wang Dachui watched Liu Zhaodi wolfing down her food with great interest, and suddenly asked:

"How's life in there?"

Liu Zhaodi paused with her chopsticks, and the food in her throat suddenly became difficult to swallow.

She forced a smile: "It's okay..."

"I heard the rules are pretty strict there." Wang Dachui took a sip of his white wine, his eyes narrowed into slits. "People like you must have been punished a lot, right?"

Liu Xu suddenly put down her chopsticks, and the jade bracelet hit the edge of the bowl with a crisp sound.

Liu Zhaodi's fingers unconsciously touched the inside of her right wrist, where there was a shallow scar, which was scratched by the older sister in the same cell with a toothbrush handle last winter.

At that time, because her food was taken away, she was so hungry that she secretly ate half of the other person's biscuit...

Liu Xu felt very uncomfortable, fiddling with her chopsticks in the bowl. "Zhao Di, what are your plans for coming out this time?"

Liu Zhaodi put down the bowl, her eyes sparkling: "I want to stay in the city! I can study or work. Aunt, can you help me? You loved me the most..."

Wang Dachui suddenly laughed: "Study? Which school would dare to accept you in your current condition?"

These words stabbed into Liu Zhaodi's heart like a knife. She clenched her chopsticks so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"I'll give you some money tomorrow. You can go back to Ning County and find a job or stay at home to take care of your younger brother." Liu Xu said.

Liu Zhaodi fell to her knees and said tearfully, "Aunt, Uncle, please take me in. My mother hasn't come to see me once since I went in. She must hate me to death."

If I go back, she will definitely despise me. Please let me stay, I can do housework and anything else!"

Wang Dachui narrowed his eyes and tapped his wine glass lightly with his fingers: "Anything is fine."

Liu Zhaodi nodded desperately, her tears soaking her newly bought skirt:

"I, I can be a babysitter! I can cook and clean..."

He leaned over, his alcoholic breath spraying on Liu Zhaodi's face: "But our family doesn't lack a nanny. We don't lack anything."

Liu Zhaodi felt a chill in her heart as she looked at her unmoved uncle and her cold and silent aunt.

If she can't convince him, she will probably be sent back to Ning County tomorrow. If she goes back like this, it will be difficult for her to make a breakthrough in her life.

No! She was unwilling to give up just like that!

Liu Zhaodi kowtowed several times:

"Aunt, Uncle, please leave me here. I've really learned everything. I can be your child in the future, and I'll be filial to you and won't bring shame to you."

After these words were spoken, Liu Xu's face became even darker. The thing that worried her most now was that she had not gotten pregnant for several years after getting married. When Liu Zhaodi said that she wanted to bear her child, it was like a knife in her chest.

Wang Dachui was very interested in what Liu Zhaodi said: "Be my child? Do you really want to be my child?"

Liu Zhaodi rested her forehead against the cold tiles, and the sound of her forehead hitting the ground was particularly clear in the quiet restaurant.

The smell of Wang Dachui's alcohol and cigarettes weighed down on her. She could hear her own heartbeat like a drum, which made her eardrums hurt.

Liu Xu's pearl necklace flickered in the light, and suddenly her hand slammed on the table:

"Liu Zhaodi, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? Your parents are not dead yet!"

"Aunt, my parents are as good as dead to me. You've been the best person to me since I was a child. Please take me in! I will definitely be loyal to you!"

"You..." Liu Xu angrily wanted to go forward and pull Liu Zhaodi up.

Wang Dachui raised his hand to stop Liu Xu, and pointed his short, fat finger at the edge of the wine glass: "I think this kid is quite sincere."

He leaned over and pinched Liu Zhaodi's chin, forcing her to look up. "You said you could be my child? Do you know what it means to be my daughter, Wang Dachui?"

Liu Zhaodi's cheeks were pinched to the point of being deformed, but she stared intently into Wang Dachui's eyes:

"I will be obedient! Do whatever I ask you to do! I will also provide for your retirement!"

She caught a glimpse of Liu Xu's sullen face and deliberately raised her voice: "Aunt, don't you always say that my personality is like yours? I should be your child!"

"Enough! Get out if you say anything else!" Liu Xu pointed at Liu Zhaodi and shouted angrily.

Wang Dachui ignored his wife's reaction and suddenly lowered his voice with a creepy intimacy:

"Zhao Di, if you want to be my daughter, just kowtowing isn't enough!"

Liu Zhaodi suddenly looked up and saw a strange light flashing in Wang Dachui's eyes.

The cicadas outside the window stopped chirping at some point, and the air was as thick as insoluble syrup.

The nanny stood at the kitchen door holding a bowl of soup, avoiding looking at the dining table.

"I, Wang Dachui, am a well-known figure. Whether it is my wife or daughter, they must be excellent and bring honor to me." Wang Dachui said slowly.

To gain face? Liu Zhaodi had a thousand calculations in her mind, so her uncle wanted to recognize Su Miao because she had good grades and was excellent, which could bring him face in front of outsiders.

But...but my own results...

"Uncle, I will study hard and won't embarrass you outside!"

Wang Dachui suddenly smiled, revealing his gold teeth:

"Study hard? With your poor grades, what's the point of studying hard for another ten years?"

“This… I…”

Wang Dachui stopped talking and smoked silently. He stared at Liu Zhaodi for a long time in the smoke, as if thinking about something.

Liu Xu finally couldn't help herself and said, "Da Hammer, I'll send her back to Ning County tomorrow and won't let her come here anymore. Don't be angry, I promised you that I won't help my mother's family anymore."

"No, let her stay. You said you would no longer support your parents' family, so go back and sign an agreement with your sister-in-law. From now on, Liu Zhaodi will be our child."

Wang Dachui grinned, revealing his yellowed teeth.

"Sign...sign an agreement? Do you really want her to be our child?" Liu Xu said hesitantly.

"If you don't want her, then give birth to another one for me!" Wang Dachui slammed his palm on the table, and his words choked Liu Xu so much that she couldn't answer.

Wang Dachui's voice suddenly softened again:

"Xiao Xu, whether you give birth or not, I, Wang Dachui, will definitely have a child.

Think about it yourself. Zhaodi is your niece. It's better to acknowledge her than for me to go out and bring another child home. Once you've thought it through, take her back and sign the agreement."

Then he turned to Liu Zhaodi and said:

"Wang Dachui is a stickler for rules. Since you want to be my daughter, you have to sever your ties with the Liu family. If your parents try to claim kinship with me again, I won't be able to afford to lose face."
