Cheng's father was looked at by Russell with such a silence, his face slightly stagnated, and he asked according to Russell's words: "What's wrong? Something happened?"

Cheng’s father said something, and Russell immediately turned his head and acted like I was fine and I was fine. He smiled reluctantly at Cheng’s father and said, “It’s okay, I’m fine, what can I do.”

Russell said it was okay, but his clothes were worried, and this look made Cheng Dad suspicious.

Cheng Dad put the untied tie on the hanger, walked to the opposite side of Russell, sat down, hugged Russell's shoulder and whispered, "What the hell is wrong? Is Jiujiu asking you for trouble again?"

It’s not a big deal that Cheng Dad felt this way, because at the beginning, no matter how Russell was good to Cheng Jiujiu, Cheng Jiujiu looked dissatisfied. He was looking for trouble all day long and asked Russell for trouble whenever he had time. Now that Russell was doing this, it’s no wonder Cheng Dad thought too much.

Cheng’s father was really worried that Russell would bully Cheng Jiujiu at first. He would ask patiently every time Cheng Jiujiu was looking for trouble, but once or twice, every time Cheng Jiujiu quarreled with Russell because of irrelevant things. Cheng’s father was busy with work and had no time to take care of him carefully. If he repeated this for more than ten times, Cheng’s father ignored him. Even if Cheng Jiujiu came to complain to him, he was vague and perfunctory.

Over time, Cheng Jiujiu didn't look for him much. Instead, Russell would occasionally show a sad expression.

Because Cheng Jiujiu was looking for trouble before, Cheng Dad had already felt a little guilty towards Russell. Now Russell showed no wonder that he was wronged, so Cheng Dad would naturally comfort him in a low voice.

Cheng’s father and Russell have been married for so many years, and Russell has been good at himself and is kind to him. He has a good house at home and outside, and has also opened a snack bar with good business. He saved a lot of money this year, almost the same as his salary.

Who wouldn't like such a beautiful woman, who is good to herself, and can make money?

Moreover, because Cheng Jiujiu kept asking for Russell for trouble before, Russell had always been tolerant, which made Cheng's father look at Russell high, and Luo Yanqing was well-behaved and sensible, so he would not cause trouble at first glance. Now that Russell showed such a look, Cheng's father naturally suspected that Cheng Jiujiu had done something that made Russell unhappy.

Cheng’s father naturally likes Cheng Jiujiu, but in recent years, Cheng Jiujiu has been complaining constantly and has not had good grades. Russell is more about Cheng’s father, and because he is busy with work now, he relies on Russell’s care for his family. He always feels that as long as he wins over Russell’s heart, Russell will naturally be nice to Cheng Jiujiu.

Moreover, no matter what, Jiujiu is his child. There is a blood bond between the two of them. The bones are broken and the tendons are connected. Of course, there is no problem with him scolding Jiujiu.

Seeing Cheng’s attitude, Russell knew that Cheng’s father began to suspect that it was Jiujiu’s problem.

Russell curled the corners of his mouth, but he still looked embarrassed and said vaguely: "It's okay, maybe I'm wrong."

"What are you thinking wrong."

A mistake made Cheng Dad realize that things might not be that simple, and his tone became stern.

Russell frowned as if he was in trouble, pursed his lips and whispered: "I've been busy these days and haven't deposited my money in the bank. I've been keeping it in our small drawer. When I went to order money today, I found that one hundred yuan was missing."

Russell said this implicitly, and he did not name it and said that it was taken by Jiujiu, but Cheng’s father knew from Russell’s words that Russell just thought that Jiujiu took the money.

If it were other things, Cheng Dad would definitely let Russell tolerate Jiujiu, but stealing money is no trivial matter.

Cheng Dad is a cultural person and has always paid the most attention to character. Stealing money is stealing. Stealing needles when he was a child and stealing gold when he was a child is a famous saying left to everyone by his ancestors. If the money was really taken by Jiujiu, then he would have to deal with her well.

Cheng Dad's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at Russell and said, "Are you sure you didn't count the wrong number?"

Russell shook his head gently, his face also looked worried, and he whispered to Cheng Dad: "You know, I have always kept accounts, and my business has been good these days. I also thought it was my own family, so I put the money in the drawer. Who would have thought that it would be a hundred yuan less, and..."

Russell's expression changed instantly and his tone became hesitant. He paused for a long time without saying a word.

Cheng's father's face became more serious, and his voice couldn't help but put on a commanding tone: "What else is there to say..."

Russell's face turned slightly pale, his lips moved, and then he whispered: "Actually, this is also my fault."

"What does it have to do with you?" Hearing Russell saying that he blamed her, Cheng Dad's expression eased a little, but because he had just said that Jiujiu had stolen money, his expression was still a little blue.

Seeing this, Russell cursed in his heart, and then continued in a low voice: "The snack bar was a little busy this morning. When I went downstairs, I forgot to pay Jiujiu for breakfast. Qingqing left early, so I forgot to ask Qingqing to bring it to Jiujiu, but Qingqing said that she saw Jiujiu buying two meals in the canteen today. I thought, maybe she would be hungry..."

"Absurd." Cheng Dad shouted angrily: "What does it mean to be hungry? Can you steal money from your family if you are hungry? You are only a few years old now and you will be able to do it in the future. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I'll go to her and tell her."

After Cheng's father finished speaking, he stood up and said to Jiujiu.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Russell quickly reached out to stop Cheng Dad, pulled his arm and said, "What are you doing? It's time now, the child has gone to bed early. You are now in a fierce way. What if it's not her who took it~"

"What wasn't she taking? The evidence is conclusive. She said no, it's not that I said you, it's just that you indulged her like this, so she became like this, alas~" Cheng's father sighed long, but did not say anything else to continue looking for Jiujiu.

Russell stood behind Cheng Dad, put his head on Cheng Dad's shoulder, and whispered: "I am a stepmother, it's okay to be better. If it's not good, what else might others say behind my back."

"I know, I'm making things difficult for you." Cheng's father sighed and patted Russell's back of his hand: "It's been difficult for you all these years."

"It's not difficult. As long as you can be with you, it will be sweet even if you endure hardships."
