People’s hearts were biased. Not to mention anything else, even when parents treated their children, they were not always fair. Moreover, in Elder Liu’s heart, the status of Chen Meng’er and that so-called deputy director of the Financial Bureau, Zhou Caijun… one could imagine.

When Zhou Caijun brought his niece, Zhou Mei, to the Zhao family and just started, Elder Zhao had the servants at home make a call and call his daughter, Zhao Yinghua, back. He didn’t need to know the whole story, and he couldn’t just listen to Zhou Caijun and Zhou Mei’s words to determine what this matter should be like.

But now, after Elder Zhao heard what Chen Meng’er said, he was already a little biased, so he was even more biased. Elder Zhao looked at Zhou Caijun and his niece with even more unkind eyes. Elder Liu muttered in his heart, this person did something wrong, and he actually dared to come and complain to him like this. If it wasn’t for the coincidence that Elder Liu and Meng’er came to their house… they had just happened to bump into each other. Perhaps he had listened to the one-sided words of Zhou Caijun and his niece and had helped them out.

Elder Zhao thought of the consequences if he really did this and couldn’t help but shiver.

Elder Zhao was quite close with Elder Liu. Therefore, he knew better than anyone else Chen Meng’er’s position in Elder Liu’s heart. She was a family member that Elder Liu had acknowledged. Elder Liu was even more protective of his own shortcomings. Perhaps, if Elder Liu knew that he had extended his hand to help the Zhou Mei family who bullied Chen Meng’er, he would be angry and bear a grudge against the Zhao family.

Elder Zhao believed that his position in Elder Liu could not be compared to Chen Meng’er, his godgranddaughter.

In fact, the Zhao family in S City was able to reach their current position because they had a leader who clearly recognized their position.

“Elder Zhao, and this old master, this matter…” Zhou Caijun didn’t know Elder Liu’s identity, so he could only cautiously probe.

However, before Zhou Caijun could continue, he was interrupted by Elder Zhao. “Enough. There’s no need for you to speak. Let your niece speak. Is what my Meng’er said the truth?”

Zhou Mei looked at Elder Liu and Elder Zhao’s serious faces, as well as her uncle’s ugly face just now. Zhou Mei was scared and cowered in her heart. She didn’t want to speak no matter what.

“Elder Zhao asked you a question. Why aren’t you answering quickly?” Zhou Caijun looked at Elder Zhao. Elder Liu’s expression became uglier and uglier as he reprimanded his niece.

“Yes, it’s the truth.” Zhou Mei was reprimanded by her uncle and trembled. She could only answer honestly.

“Dad, why did you call me back? Ah, Little Princess Meng’er is here. Dad, you’re really my biological father. You know that I miss Little Princess Meng’er.” Zhao Yinghua had come here unwillingly. However, when she saw Chen Meng’er in the room, it was as if she had been injected with stimulants. She quickened her pace and was about to rush to Chen Meng’er.
