Old Master Chi still found out that Chi Jiao and Lan Yunhan had broken off the engagement in the end.
Old Master Chi rarely watched television or used his phone to surf the Internet. He only read newspapers and books to pass his time.
Chi Mingwei had specially arranged for the servants in the old residence to not let Old Master Chi see any newspaper reports about Lan Yunhan and Chi Jiao canceling the engagement. However, they still couldn’t prevent Lan Guanlin from calling him.
Old Master Chi had only found out about the whole situation after learning about it when Lan Guanlin apologized to him. Only then did he realize that Chi Jiao had suffered so much grievance that he had fainted from anger.
The entire Chi family’s old residence was in chaos.
Old Master Chi had been in good health recently. It had been a long time since he had suddenly fainted like this.
Thankfully, the family doctor was around. After some emergency treatment, Old Master Chi finally woke up from his fainting spell.
When Chi Mingwei and Chi Jiao arrived, Old Master Chi was still lying in bed. He had already fallen asleep and was wearing an oxygen mask.
He couldn’t get out of bed for the time being. The moment he moved, he would feel dizzy.
Sun Qiulan sat by the bed and watched coldly as they entered the room together.
“Mom, how’s Dad?” Chi Mingwei asked anxiously.
Chi Jiao’s gaze landed directly on Old Master Chi, heartache and worry hidden in the depths of her clear eyes.
“How is he? Thanks to this daughter of yours, he almost died of anger.” When Sun Qiulan said this, she stared straight at Chi Jiao.
This was the first time Chi Jiao had met her since she returned to White City.
The moment she saw Chi Jiao earlier, she thought she had seen Chi Jiao’s mother.
She didn’t want to mention that woman’s name ever again in her life.
Sensing Sun Qiulan’s dissatisfaction with Chi Jiao, Chi Mingwei instantly revealed a helpless expression. “Mom, Jiaojiao is also the victim in this matter.”
“I know in my heart what’s right and wrong. When is it ever your turn to tell me that?” Sun Qiulan turned to look at him with eyes filled with disappointment at his failure to live up to expectations.
While they were talking, Chi Jiao had already walked to Old Master Chi’s side.
Looking at Old Master Chi’s closed eyes and pale face, she felt as if a thorn had been lodged in her throat.
It was indescribably uncomfortable.
“Jiaojiao, say hi to your grandmother,” Chi Mingwei walked up to her and softly reminded her.
Only then did Chi Jiao look at Sun Qiulan and greeted her indifferently.
“I’m not worthy of that title.” Sun Qiulan’s lips curled into a cold smile as she glanced at her icily. “You’ve made the family into a mess the moment you came back. I wouldn’t dare to be your grandmother.”
After hearing what she said, there was no fluctuation in Chi Jiao’s pitch-black eyes. In fact, her expression didn’t change at all.
She couldn’t be bothered to argue with people.
“Yanyan is also on the way back.” Sun Qiulan changed the topic. “Mingwei, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but Yanyan has already done very well. Your biological daughter is back now, but Yanyan is still a child who grew up beside you. You can’t be too biased.”
At the mention of Chi Yan, Sun Qiulan couldn’t hide the satisfaction in her tone.
Chi Mingwei knew that his mother had always liked Chi Yan. He also knew how stubborn this old lady’s temper was, so he wisely chose to brush her off casually and not argue with her.
“Mom, stop worrying about such things.”
When Sun Qiulan saw that the father and daughter were just patronizing her, she stood up from the bed angrily and walked out of the room. “Mingwei, come with me!”
Knowing that she was going to lecture him again, Chi Mingwei could feel a headache coming.
But the other party was his biological mother. Other than going out with Sun Qiulan obediently, he had no other choice.
