He gave Yanyan and Ming Kun at least two hundred thousand yuan in pocket money every month, so Chi Gui was unsettled by just one hundred thousand yuan.
Chi Changjing sighed inwardly. The Chi Family had annual health check-ups and supplements prepared by dedicated experts and professors. Natural common supplements that Chi Gui might have bought from the market were simply below their standards.
Chi Changjing patiently explained, "You really don’t need to worry. This is the pocket money Dad is giving you. You shouldn’t feel any burden."
Chi Gui replied, "Mr. Chi, you’ve got the wrong idea. I just feel that, since we’ve already signed the document to sever personal ties, as strangers, it’s not appropriate for me to accept this one hundred thousand yuan from you. If you have no need of me, I should return the money to you." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel⁂fire.net
Chi Changjing looked at Chi Gui’s polite yet distant response, and his throat tightened.
It was not until this moment that he realized Chi Gui truly wanted nothing to do with the Chi Family, not out of some inability to fit in but a decision to stay away.
He choked up for a long while before typing a rather heavy message: "Chi Gui, do you really dislike your mom and me? Because of our lack of attention to you? Don’t worry, we can change that in the future!"
Which child doesn’t yearn for their parents’ love?
Chi Gui’s coldness was probably largely due to their family’s initial neglect...
Thinking of this, Chi Changjing wanted to say more but then saw Chi Gui’s very real reply: "No, you haven’t reached the level of making me dislike you. I just genuinely find you all too annoying and too foolish, and associating with you is a waste of time."
It was a blow that made him question his whole life.
Had he been so deeply misunderstood about his daughter in the past?
Meanwhile, Chi Gui quickly followed up with another message: "Are you sure you don’t need me to do anything? If not, I will return the money."
"Don’t, don’t, don’t..." Chi Changjing quickly replied. He had transferred the money to repair the relationship with Chi Gui; how could he let her return it?
In his urgency, Chi Changjing blurted out, "How about you help me find a business deal then?"
Chi Gui said, "Okay."
After finishing the conversation with Chi Changjing, Chi Gui immediately called Shen Yun: "Do you have any deals on hand that haven’t been signed yet?"
Shen Yun was in the middle of work, but he perked up at the question: "Boss, are you finally thinking of managing the company? Yes, yes, yes, there are so many!"
He listed over a dozen.
Chi Gui responded, "No, these deals are too big. Are there any smaller ones?"
Shen Yun was shocked: "The last deal I mentioned to you is just five million, and you still think that’s too big? How big do you want?"
Chi Gui specified, "One hundred thousand."
He cleared his ear: "Boss, sorry, my ear was not working. Did I miss a couple of zeros?"
Chi Gui repeated, "One hundred thousand."
Shen Yun: "...That’s really stumped me. To tell you the truth, since I graduated from school, I haven’t seen such a small deal. Let me ask around for you."
Chi Gui waited patiently.
Shen Yun sent messages to all the managers through the work group chat while curiously asking, "Boss, who are you helping this time?"
Chi Gui didn’t see a need to hide it, took a cup of water, and sat on the sofa: "It’s for Chi Changjing. He gave me one hundred thousand yuan tonight."
Shen Yun’s intelligence was second only to Chi Gui’s. With little thought, he understood and chuckled, "If he ever finds out your true identity, remembering tonight’s one hundred thousand, he’ll probably awkwardly dig up a three-room apartment with his toes, huh?"
After Shen Yun finished laughing, he showed some confusion: "Boss, didn’t you not want to get involved with the Chi Family? Why take this one hundred thousand?"
