Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder - Chapter 930

Chu Xiang arrived at the Shao’s residence, and the Shao couple welcomed her with the same warmth, treating her like their own child.

As soon as Mrs. Shao saw her, she affectionately pulled her aside and said, “You’ve become thinner, thinner. You must eat more later and take good care of your health. I know about everything that happened to you. Why are you so strong-willed? Doing everything by yourself, studying and making money, it must be exhausting. Did that woman hit you? How shameless!”

Chu Xiang smiled at her and replied, “Mommy Shao, I’ve actually gained two pounds. Where do you see me as thinner? Don’t worry, I’m doing fine. These past few days have been the happiest time of my life. By the way, Shao Yan and I are planning to go on a trip. How about you join us, Mommy Shao?”

Mrs. Shao immediately became happy, “You’re going on a trip? In that case, you go. I won’t join you. Your Dad Shao has a lot of work at the company, and I need to help him. You two haven’t had many opportunities to go out and have fun before, so bring Xiao Zhang along this time and enjoy yourselves. Buy whatever you like, and I’ll reimburse you when you come back.”

“Mom.” Shao Yan had been waiting for them to finish talking for a while and stood up, grabbing Chu Xiang’s sleeve. “Let’s go plan the itinerary.”

Mrs. Shao chuckled, “Alright, go on, go on. I’ll prepare some fruits for you.”

Shao Yan pulled Chu Xiang upstairs. Two puppies immediately wagged their tails and pounced on Chu Xiang, heading straight into her arms. She squatted down, hugging them and giving each of them a kiss on their foreheads. She looked up and said, “How about bringing Zhaozhao and Mumu along? Let’s all go and have fun together.”

Shao Yan took out his phone and took a picture of her. In the photo, Chu Xiang had a bright smile on her face, and the two puppies beside her were happily looking at her.

He looked at the photo and curled his lips. “Okay, as long as you like it.”

The two puppies were named by the two of them. One was called “Zhaozhao,” and the other was called “Mumu,” using a part of their names. When pronounced, it sounded like “Chaochao Mumu.” Shao Yan particularly liked it. At the beginning, he often called them Zhaozhao and Mumu at home.

He set the photo of Chu Xiang and the two puppies as his screensaver and searched for tourist attractions with Chu Xiang while holding the dogs.

The golden retriever puppies grew quickly. Chu Xiang said that once they grew bigger, they couldn’t be carried anymore, so they should take the opportunity to carry them more when they were still small. Shao Yan agreed, and whenever the two of them were at home, they would always be hugging the puppies. When Chu Xiang stayed in the dormitory, the two puppies would sleep on Shao Yan’s bed, one on each side. They also had a significant impact on his condition, and now he had started to accept close relationships. He got along well with everyone at home and had good communication with them.

Shao Yan had no objections to where they should go and followed Chu Xiang’s lead. Chu Xiang had already booked a hotel in the vicinity of several scenic spots, and they could also enjoy hot springs. Moreover, the place wasn’t far from the capital city, so they could drive there directly with the help of the driver Xiao Zhang.

Having fun outside was, of course, enjoyable. Within a few days, Chu Xiang received a call from Mr. Chen, who said that his company had gone bankrupt and owed debts of millions.

Chu Xiang didn’t even let him finish speaking and coldly laughed, “Mr. Chen, it seems like you’ve got the wrong person. Your daughter is Chu Xuan. Although she is currently the adopted daughter of the Chu family, legally she is still your daughter. She still has a house and money, but as for me, I have no relationship with you since I moved my household registration away.”

Mr. Chen had been asserting his seniority in front of the original owner for so many years, so he instinctively exclaimed in anger, “You rebellious girl, have you grown wings? Dare to talk back to me? I raised you all these years, and no matter when, you must address me as father…”

“Is that so?” Chu Xiang lowered her head and glanced at the scars on her arms, her gaze turning cold. “I used to think I was your daughter and didn’t bother arguing with you. Later, when I came to the Chu family, there were two children involved from both the Chu and Chen families, and no one helped me sue you. But now, I have no relationship with either of your families. For no reason, you have been abusing and beating me for 17 years. It’s time to settle this score properly.”

Since you insist on harassing me, let’s meet in court. I have kept all the evidence of your abuse.”

Chu Xiang hung up the phone and blocked his number. Her mobile number was obtained after she came to the Chu family. If Mr. Chen had it, he must have contacted Chu Xuan first, and she provided it to him.

In the end, Chu Xuan was the daughter of the Chen family. If the Chen family was in trouble, they could look for their biological daughter. Besides, the grievances suffered by the original owner also needed to be properly addressed.

Shao Yan frowned and sent a few messages, then relaxed his brows and looked at Chu Xiang seriously. “The Chen family won’t bother you anymore. Do you want to sue them? There are lawyers in my father’s company who are very capable. Let them handle it.”

“Okay, I’ll send them the evidence later.”

“Do you really have evidence?”

“Of course.” Chu Xiang played with her phone, wearing a smirk. “Even if he is my biological father, I can still sue him for domestic violence. It’s just difficult to convict him, and I wasn’t of legal age, so I didn’t say anything before. But now it’s different. I am perfectly fitting the saying: ‘The sky is high, and birds can fly; the sea is wide, and fish can leap.’ Delaying the lawsuit is just giving him some time to mess with Chu Xuan.”

The original owner wasn’t a pushover, but being a minor without a guardian was a problem. It was difficult to sue for domestic violence against a husband, let alone a father. If she couldn’t escape from that family, rushing into a lawsuit would only harm herself. So the original owner quietly collected evidence, documenting the injuries each time.
