Real Rich Daughter's Path Of Counterattack Novel - Chapter 106
Chapter 106: The Journey Home
In the evening, a convoy of cars drove through the mountains. Although the sun and the clouds had “burned” the sky red, the people in the cars were in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery before them.
The back of the car was filled with a suffocating silence. The two people in the back didn’t say anything. The oppressive atmosphere made Old Zhao, who was the driver, feel even more pressured.
This family had been like this since yesterday. What exactly happened? He couldn’t help but wonder.
The old man, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, did not panic. He looked at the father-daughter pair in the back seat and found it interesting. Although the two of them looked angry on the surface, the truth was that the two of them were concerned about each other.
The old man’s thoughts returned to the previous day,
“Chaochao, I think you should go back and take a look…” Xie Zhou said earnestly.
“I don’t want to!” However, before he could finish speaking, Chaochao immediately objected. Perhaps because she had entered puberty, Chaochao often rebelled against Xie Zhou.
“Chaochao, you have to know that they are your family. You should go back.” Xie Zhou didn’t flare up. Instead, he said it quietly.
“But I don’t know them! My family only has you and Grandpa. You are my family!” Chaochao said agitatedly.
Xie Zhou was very touched by his daughter’s words. Although the child was in a phase of rebellion, he truly began to realize that the child had grown up. This further strengthened his determination.
“Yes, Chaochao. We’re family, so you don’t want to be separated from us, right?”
“Yes…” The girl nodded.
“But Chaochao, think about it from another perspective. Although you don’t know them, they know you. To them, you are also their family. Do they want to be separated from you?” Xie Zhou seemed surprisingly calm when he said this. This was something that even he didn’t expect.
“But…” Xie Chaochao wanted to cry. Of course, she knew the meaning of Xie Zhou’s words. It was difficult for her to refute, but compared to those she had never seen before, she was more concerned about…
“But what are you going to do? If I leave, who will take care of you?!” She almost cried.
“Little girl, what are you thinking about? I’m not so pathetic that I need a little girl like you to take care of me. Compared to me, you might as well worry about Mr Lin first.” As Xie Zhou spoke, he took out a tissue to wipe the tears on the girl’s face.
“Besides, don’t be in such a hurry to say goodbye! This time, I’ll go with you!”
“Really?” Xie Chaochao immediately became happy.
“Of course! Your father has to see if that family is reliable!” Xie Zhou said with a smile. Just like that, the father-daughter pair made up their minds. No matter what the final outcome was, they would let Xie Chaochao return to the Lin family first. Chaochao’s grandpa didn’t say anything outside the door and just smiled as he watched this scene.
The next day, Old Zheng brought his men to the Xie family’s house. He had almost not slept the entire night last night. It was not easy for him to find Chaochao. He was afraid that something would happen at night.
Especially Xie Zhou. Old Zheng had gotten someone to investigate him and knew that this person was not simple. To be able to get out of Xisha Prison and even establish a large company, this was not something an ordinary person could do.
However, it was also because Xie Zhou had a criminal record that he was afraid that Xie Zhou would do something irrational. Hence, he had already set up an ambush outside the village and was ready to take action at any time. He was even prepared for Xie Zhou to abandon everything and escape with Xie Chaochao overnight.

After a tense night, Old Zheng stepped into the Xie family’s courtyard with an uneasy heart. He had already prepared several hidden cards in his hand and was prepared to play them one by one at the right time…
“Mr Zheng, after our family discussed it last night, we unanimously decided to let Chaochao go back to see her family,” Xie Zhou said politely.
This time, Old Zheng was stunned. Why didn’t this fellow act according to common sense? He even suspected that Xie Zhou had other intentions. However, when he chatted with Xie Zhou again and learned of his true thoughts, he couldn’t help but feel very impressed. On the contrary, it made him seem like he was unfairly judging a gentleman with his narrow-mindedness. His respect for Xie Zhou increased.
“However, I have another condition.”
“Please go ahead, Mr Xie. As long as Chaochao goes back to see Elder Lin, everything can be discussed!”
“I want to go with her. Is that okay?”
Hearing this, Old Zheng was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, of course. If Elder Lin sees his granddaughter’s savior, he will definitely be very happy!” Old Zheng said happily.
After the two sides had discussed the specific matters, they happily set off for the capital with Chaochao.
Although Old Zheng wanted Chaochao to sit in his car and tell her about the Lin family, she rejected him. In the end, she still wanted to be in her father’s car.
However, along the way, the two of them did not say anything.
“Daddy…” Eventually, Xie Chaochao broke the silence.
