With a single sentence, the hearts of three members of the Chi Family plummeted.

It was a pity that those big shots would not attend Su Qing and Chi Yan’s engagement ceremony, but that certainly wouldn’t affect the ceremony’s proceedings!

When Old Sir Su said this, it was clear he was having second thoughts!

Zhao Yuexiu immediately panicked, “This date was calculated by a master to be an auspicious day. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when the next one will be…”

Yin Xiuxiu smiled as she interrupted, “Then we’ll just have to wait until another suitable day comes along! After all, as long as the two kids are willing, it’s only a matter of time. We adults shouldn’t be too anxious!”

But what if one of the children was no longer willing?

Now that Su Qing had seen Chi Gui’s excellence, could he still be content with getting engaged to Chi Yan?

Chi Yan’s fingers clenched slightly in her palm as she looked towards Su Qing, wanting to say something but seeing his grim expression and his disinterest in speaking, she had to swallow her words.

The Su Family did not bother to offer the four Chi Family members a meal, and after a few polite words, Old Sir Su had the butler see them out.

Chi Changjing and Zhao Yuexiu dared not say more and could only leave first with Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun.

On the drive back, Zhao Yuexiu could no longer hold back, cursing bitterly, “That girl is an ingrate! Clearly, she’s so capable, yet she does not breathe a word about it, leading everyone to think she’s just a worker girl from the rural areas!”

Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun sat on opposite sides of the back seat, each looking out the window, neither speaking a word.

Chi Changjing kept sighing, also silent.

Zhao Yuexiu continued to ramble on with curse after curse, her words becoming nastier as she went on.

Chi Mingkun could no longer stand it, “Mom, you only know to blame Sister. Have you ever thought that, if you and dad had treated her a bit nicer from the beginning, she wouldn’t treat you like strangers?”

At this point, he couldn’t help but sigh, “With Sister’s status, she didn’t need to return to the Chi Family at all. If she hadn’t also been looking forward to spending time with her own flesh and blood, why would she bother?” Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovelfire.net

Thinking about how Chi Gui came to the Chi Family filled with hope and how she was disappointed by the actions of the four ‘family members,’ Chi Mingkun’s heart couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.

Zhao Yuexiu was caught off guard by Chi Mingkun’s words, and then sharply retorted, “What do you mean, Chi Mingkun! Open your eyes and see clearly! Your dad, your sister, and I are the ones who have been with you day in, day out for over twenty years! That wild girl only came to our house for a few days, and she’s already got you so charmed you can’t even tell who your family is?”

Hearing Zhao Yuexiu still speaking so harshly, Chi Mingkun became angry as well, “The reason I’m more inclined to side with Sister Chi is precisely because she never felt the warmth of this family for twenty years! Just because she’s from the rural areas, all of you look down on her. Is this how a family should act?!”

Chi Yan had already felt deeply humiliated at the venue by Chi Gui, and her heart was full of disgrace. Then to have her own engagement ceremony canceled because of Chi Gui had pushed her to the brink of distress. Overhearing Chi Mingkun continuously pointing out their faults towards Chi Gui, she couldn’t hold back anymore!

Chi Yan let out a shrill scream, her eyes red as she glared at Chi Mingkun, shouting, “Yes! I despise her! Why should someone who grew up in the rural areas do better than me? What right does she have! In the past, mom was too soft-hearted, allowing her to be taken away by our grandmother. When she was born, she should have been killed on the spot!!”
