Chapter 111: I’m the One Taking Care of Chacha

Ruan Yingzhe, sensing he held no authority over his daughter, felt his gaze shift, his eyes narrowing coldly as he glared at her. "Is that any way to speak to your own father?"

Ruan Cha burst into laughter on the spot. She paused for two seconds, then curled her lips into a smirk. "Then keep your dog mouth shut. Are you satisfied with that way of speaking?"

Having said this, Ruan Cha bowed her head to solve the final major problem. She wrote the answer on the paper, stood up, and kicked her chair back. "Finished."

He Qisheng hurried over to grade Ruan Cha’s paper.

Ruan Yingzhe processed her words for a long moment. Seeing that Ruan Cha actually dared to call him a dog, his eyes turned red with fury, a savage glint appearing in his gaze.

Beside him, Kong Xian immediately clutched Ruan Yingzhe’s arm and looked at Ruan Cha. "Cha Cha, your father is doing this for your own good. If word gets out that you cheated on an exam, think of how bad it will be for the Ruan family’s reputation..."

Shen Jie, watching as Ruan Cha's parents walked in and not only failed to believe her but instead lectured her for cheating, felt his jaw tighten with rage. "How can you people be like this? You don't believe your own daughter, yet you trust a teacher who is spouting nonsense. Is that any way to be parents?!"

"How we act as parents is not for a brat like you to comment on!" Ruan Yingzhe glanced at Shen Jie, wondering how this young, inexperienced kid dared to lecture him.

"My teacher is speaking up for me, and that is certainly not for you to comment on!" Ruan Cha stepped in front of Shen Jie, her eyes icy. "I don't know where you two get the audacity to even show up at this school as my parents? Did the weather clear up and the rain stop, so you think you’re capable again? I’ve seen thick-skinned people, but I’ve never seen anyone with skin thicker than a pig’s!"

Li Junmei, stunned by Ruan Cha’s attitude, gasped in disbelief. "How can you speak to your parents like that!"

"They don't deserve to be called Cha Cha’s parents."

The sudden sound of approaching footsteps outside, accompanied by an indifferent, chilling presence and a voice cold enough to pierce the bone, made everyone look toward the door.

First entered Chen Yan, clad in a black suit, his aura imposing. Immediately following him, the moment Gu Zhenzhi’s cold, refined, and noble face appeared at the entrance, Ruan Cha’s eyes lit up.

The man walked into view with long, straight strides. Clad in a bespoke suit that radiated an aura of quiet luxury, his gaze was indifferent and devoid of any emotion.

"Since you have never raised her, what right do you have to call yourselves her parents? Besides... Cha Cha is under my care now, and she has nothing to do with you." The man’s tone was detached; with a light parting of his thin lips, he firmly claimed guardianship of Ruan Cha.

Seeing Ruan Yingzhe still looking restless, Gu Zhenzhi walked slowly toward him. His gaze drifted downward, looking at the man as if he were an ant. "Are you going to challenge me?"

Ruan Yingzhe’s legs began to tremble under the overwhelming pressure. Cold sweat poured down his face, yet he dared not utter a single word.

Ruan Cha, standing a short distance away, watched Gu Zhenzhi as he stood there with such an oppressive and domineering aura, defending her so fiercely. Her little heart pounded wildly with excitement. The "deer" in her chest felt as if it were about to collapse. She clutched her heart, whimpering silently. *Oh my god. How can Gu Zhenzhi be so handsome? So! Damn! Charismatic!*

Without a second thought, she sprinted forward on her slender legs, pouncing toward Gu Zhenzhi like a hungry tiger.

She leaped into his arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and rubbed against him. Then, she pinched her own thigh. A second later, with teary, misty eyes, she buried herself in Gu Zhenzhi’s embrace, sobbing as she complained, "Gu Zhenzhi, you’re finally here. Wuwuwu, you don't know—these people teamed up to bully me..."
