Although Chi Cunxu had scolded Yan Zhizhi countless times for mistakes at work, this was the first time that Chi Cunxu embarrassed Yan Zhizhi in public.

Being humiliated by the man she had loved for so many years, the always strong-willed Yan Zhizhi could hardly hold back her tears. She spoke with a sobbing tone, "After all, we are a family. You...you really don't have to be so heartless..."

Yan Zhizhi's eyes were red and her look was full of resentment.

Unfortunately, the man in front of her had no intention of showing any sympathy to her. He just sneered: "Family? Do you really think so?"

Yan Zhizhi opened her mouth, but looking at his gloomy face, she didn't dare to argue at all and could only close her mouth in disappointment.

Chi Cunxu continued to expose her lies: "Regarding your belief that you and I are relatives, I don't quite agree. Logically speaking, it is not the turn of a junior like me to interfere in the emotional affairs of the elders. But even if your mother succeeds in getting promoted, she can't force me to call her aunt, right?"

In fact, the identities of Yan Zhizhi and her daughter were unclear, and their situation in the Chi family was even more embarrassing. Except for her stepfather, no one seemed to really treat them as a family, and they were treated as the most marginalized people, not to mention Chi Cunxu, the legitimate heir of the Chi family? He didn't even take her stepfather seriously, let alone her sister who came from an unknown background?

Before she officially joined the Chi Group through her own efforts, Chi Cunxu had never even looked at her straight in the eye.

Facing Chi Cunxu's questioning, Yan Zhizhi hurriedly shook her head, and it was unclear whether she meant to deny it or because she felt embarrassed and wanted to beg him to stop talking.

Chi Cunxu narrowed his eyes dangerously, with no intention of stopping: "——As far as I know, my uncle is quite rational and has not yet obtained a marriage certificate with your mother, right? Tell me, what kind of relatives are we? How dare you call yourself my cousin?"

Several assistants standing behind Chi Cunxu couldn't help but start whispering.

All along, Yan Zhizhi claimed to be Chi Cunxu's non-blood-related cousin. After all this fuss, her mother was just a mistress kept at home by the elders of the Chi family, right?

A daughter brought by a mistress actually dared to provoke the future Mrs. Chi. No wonder Mr. Chi would embarrass her.

……

Yan Zhizhi didn't expect Chi Cunxu to tell her everything even this small matter. Her face suddenly became even more embarrassed and ashamed.

Chi Cunxu was right. Her mother and her stepfather did not get a formal marriage certificate for various reasons. Her mother had proposed it countless times, but her stepfather rejected it every time. But at least her mother had entered the family, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were considered half a couple.

Although the Chi family's attitude towards them was not very good and they were too lazy to spend time maintaining a relationship with them, and they would never bring them to most gatherings, but after all, they were carrying the name of the Chi family, and they could still receive a lot of preferential treatment when they went out.

Therefore, she has always claimed to be a member of the Chi family and the chairman's cousin in front of her colleagues and subordinates. Chi Cunxu seems to have been too lazy to argue with her about this matter and has turned a blind eye to her actions.

It seems that she really touched his sore spot today, so he didn't even give her the slightest bit of face and was determined to completely cut off ties with her.

So many assistants behind him heard these embarrassing truths for her. It would not be long before the news that her mother was just a mistress who interfered in other people's marriages and finally succeeded in getting promoted, and that she was not a member of the Chi family at all, would be spread throughout the entire group.

Just a second ago, she kept calling Mo Li an "outsider", but now, she herself has become the outsider who has nothing to do with him.

……

Mo Li felt much better when he saw her frustrated look.

So he grinned at her, "Vice President Yan, I almost got fooled by you just now. After all this fuss, you are the real 'outsider'? Instead of trying to sow discord in front of me, you might as well go home and persuade your stepfather to get a marriage certificate with your mother as soon as possible! Don't blame me for being harsh. It is said that men can only cheat zero times or countless times. What if your stepfather finds a new woman outside and you don't have a marriage certificate? Then you and your daughter will be kicked out of the house at any time? Then you will really get nothing."

Yan Zhizhi looked at her leaning against Chi Cunxu with that smug expression, and she was immediately furious. She wanted to tear her smug face apart, so she could only glare at her with gritted teeth: "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson here!"

Mo Li had also learned the essence of Sister Cha, and immediately put on a pitiful expression and looked at Chi Cunxu: "A Xu, she was so mean to me..."

Seeing her acting like this again, Yan Zhizhi immediately got furious again, pointing at her face with bloodshot eyes: "You——"

"Enough!" Chi Cunxu scolded her coldly: "Vice President Yan, I'm warning you for the last time! Please put away those little thoughts of yours as soon as possible! My fiancée and I have a good relationship. When will it be your turn as a subordinate to point fingers? Disrespecting my fiancée is disrespecting me. How... the position of deputy director of finance is not enough for you, and you want to step on my head?"

His tone was full of warning.

Yan Zhizhi couldn't stand it anymore. She broke down emotionally. Tears fell down like water. She began to accuse Chi Cunxu of being cold-blooded. "How could you do this to me, you scumbag? Why can't you look directly into your own heart? You clearly have me in your heart! I have always been your sweetheart! How long will it take for you to recognize your heart and know that I am the most suitable woman to stand by your side?"

Chi Cunxu seemed to be greatly offended and insulted. He couldn't help but sneer: "Are you questioning my character or insulting my aesthetics?"

Yan Zhizhi looked righteous and confident, certain that he was saying one thing and thinking another, and she yelled at him even more hysterically:

"Chi Cunxu, you irresponsible man! Why do you like me but still pretend to ignore me? You always mention my nickname in private, but why do you always just call me 'Vice President Yan' in such a strange way when you meet me?! You don't even dare to face your true feelings, what kind of man are you?"

She said all the words that she had been holding back for so long in one breath. She became more and more excited, almost crazy, and begged him in a begging manner: "...If it's just because of the relationship between my mother and my stepfather that makes you feel embarrassed, I can just cut off all ties with them in the future! As long as we can put aside the secular world, no one and nothing can stop us from being together in the future!"
