Chi Gui turned and glanced at Su Niannian, "No."
Su Niannian was instantly touched.
Sister Chi really trusted her!
Just as this thought came to her, she heard Chi Gui add, "You’re not capable of it."
The surge of emotions suddenly had nowhere to go.
She couldn’t help but say sorrowfully, "Sister Chi, you really didn’t need to explain it that clearly." Read complete version only at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Chi Gui, "Next time, for sure."
Why did she have to humiliate herself?
Mrs. Su’s condition had improved greatly at the sanatorium, and when she saw Chi Gui again, she was much livelier and even chatted a lot with her.
Su Niannian, staying by the side, noticed that although Chi Gui was "cold and ruthless" towards her peers, she was full of patience with elders. No matter how boring Mrs. Su’s stories were, she listened patiently...
And she could even keep the conversation going!
Even Su Niannian herself couldn’t guarantee she understood every point Mrs. Su made...
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Su, as Su Niannian walked Chi Gui out, they happened to run into Old Sir Jin coming out as well.
From afar, Su Niannian watched Su Haikang and Zheng Xiuxiu sheepishly trying to ingratiate themselves with Old Sir Jin and suddenly felt that these once seemingly untouchable and terrifying individuals were actually just ordinary.
Chi Gui didn’t even glance in that direction.
When Chi Gui got home and was feeding oil to Little Guai, she received a call from Chi Mingkun.
"Sister, Dad and the others are hosting a family banquet the day after tomorrow. Will you come?" Chi Mingkun asked cautiously.
Chi Gui’s expression remained unchanged. As Little Guai’s text expression showed "full, full," she mercilessly stuffed another spoonful of oil and then said indifferently, "Are you asking me if I should block you?"
The expressions on its head switched to two trails of tears.
Why did it, a robot, have to endure the agony of a human child being force-fed!
Chi Mingkun panicked and quickly explained, "No, no! It’s just that Aunt Yun Jin will be there too. I remember she used to visit you often in Grandma’s village, so I thought I’d call and ask..."
Actually, it was Chi Changjing who had asked him to make the call.
Privately, Chi Changjing still hoped Chi Gui would develop some affection for the Chi Family so she could better help them in the future.
If it were anything else, Chi Mingkun would definitely have refused without a second thought.
But when he heard that Aunt Yun Jin, who had practically "disappeared" for ten years, would also be attending the family banquet, he felt he should call Chi Gui.
After all, he often heard Zhao Yuexiu complain to Chi Changjing, "I don’t know what your sister is thinking, treating that country girl better than our own twins," and guessed that Chi Gui must have had special feelings for this aunt.
"Aunt Yun Jin?" Hearing this name, Chi Gui also fell silent.
In her childhood, Chi Yunjin was the kindest to her, apart from her grandmother.
However, when she was ten, Chi Yunjin’s husband’s family faced a major crisis. Their entire clan not only declined overnight but also incurred a huge debt.
Chi Yunjin’s husband also passed away during this huge upheaval.
In the ten years that followed, having sold all their properties and with help from the Chi Family to barely clear the debts, Chi Yunjin not only had to work several jobs but also had to take care of her daughter. She gradually fell out of touch with the upper social class, and the relatives in the Chi Family also stopped associating with her.
Only after Chi Guizheng was officially selected by the Expert Group of the National Research Institute was she finally able to find out what had happened to her "missing" aunt and where she had gone.
She also tried to find her aunt, but her aunt, fearing she would be a burden, refused to meet her.
Chi Yunjin was stubborn, and Chi Gui had no choice but to help her secretly, making sure not to be too conspicuous to avoid detection.
