Yu Jiao was not willing to accept it. She felt that she should be grateful for what she received. She was even more afraid to accept Cheng Ying's favor for nothing.
However, Cheng Ying had a strong attitude and forcefully stuffed the dowry card into Yu Jiao's hand. Although his eyes were narrowed with cruelty, he coaxed her helplessly, "Since I have recognized you as my adopted daughter, it is a done deal. No matter whether you consider me as your adopted father or not, you cannot refuse. Liu Yuning, don't always make me angry. I don't want to embarrass you, otherwise I have plenty of ways to make you obedient."
Yu Jiao pursed her lips. She did not hear Cheng Ying's helplessness, but only felt Cheng Ying's dominance and arbitrariness. No one likes to be threatened, but Cheng Ying was best at intimidating people. At the coming-of-age ceremony, Cheng Ying had asked her to dissect a rabbit with great fanfare and would not tolerate any refusal.
She had no choice but to be adopted as his daughter.
And now he wants to add makeup to her regardless of the consequences.
"Do you think Liu Yu is really clean-handed and I don't have any leverage over him?" Seeing Yu Jiao's stubborn eyes, although she took the note, her body was full of resistance, Cheng Ying's face turned cold and her tone was gloomy, "And your eldest brother Liu Ziqi, if I want to find fault with him, the whole Liu Mansion will be buried with him!"
Yu Jiao's face turned ugly. She looked at Cheng Ying coldly, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. No one can always avoid making mistakes. The governor is in charge of the East Factory, and his spies are all over the court. If he wants to catch someone's mistakes, he can always catch them."
Yu Jiao paused, and her tone softened a bit. She was really afraid that if they disagreed, Cheng Ying would go crazy and cause irreparable consequences. "The kindness that the governor gives to others always makes people afraid and scared. Recognizing you as my godfather also makes people afraid and scared. I'm afraid you have never really taken the people in this world seriously. You just treat me as a little toy to have fun. You tease me when you are happy. If I make you unhappy, I'm afraid there will be rivers of blood. People like you are like lions and tigers. They always make people fearful and uneasy. How can I dare to approach you?"
Cheng Ying was both angry and amused after hearing this. "What you said does make some sense, but Liu Yuning, although I always scare you and tease you, I have never really hurt you. If someone else dared to talk to me like this, how many lives do you think he would have left?"
He didn't want to argue with a little girl, so his expression softened a little. He said helplessly, "Liu Yuning, I treat you well but you are afraid. If you were really so timid, you wouldn't be standing here and talking back to me! Don't you realize that I won't really do anything to you, so you are so presumptuous in front of me?"
Yu Jiao was somewhat unable to refute it for a moment. If it was when she first came to the capital, she really didn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of Cheng Ying. The reason she dared to do so today was because after getting to know Cheng Ying, she found that he was not as frightening as the rumors said, and he could not stop children from crying at night.
Although Cheng Ying acts casually and is moody, she is not cruel or bloodthirsty.
"Take it. I don't think highly of Yu Qizhe. He is a smart man. Although he seems to be rising rapidly, he is actually eager for quick success and takes risks." Cheng Ying's face changed and he said seriously, "If one day you find out his true colors or you don't like him anymore, it won't be difficult for you to divorce and remarry with me as your backer. Don't think that a woman can rely on her husband for everything after getting married. Men are the most unreliable. You should always leave yourself a way out."
The post in Yu Jiao's palm became a little hot from being pinched. She looked at Cheng Ying with a complicated expression.
Yu Jiao didn't expect the person in front of her to say such words.
