Chapter 8: Chapter 8 You Can’t Go Down the Wrong Path
Fu Si methodically cleaned his glasses, his voice lazy and a bit wicked, “Women who bury themselves in their work every day are so dull, utterly devoid of charm. Wouldn’t being with her bore you to death?”
“Her, boring?” Fu Zhen Ting couldn’t believe it. “Then tell me, what kind of woman isn’t boring?”
Fu Si’s fingers paused on his glasses as he recalled the image of a girl fighting—her face calm, looking obedient and clever, yet striking fiercely.
He chuckled lightly, “The ones who are good at fighting.” Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fire·net
“Fighting…” Fu Zhen Ting almost ran out of breath, and he advised earnestly, “Fu Si, what happened to you in Nancheng? You’re the future head of the Fu Family. You can’t afford to go astray…”
Could a woman good at fighting ever be presentable?
If such a woman were to enter their doors, wouldn’t the Fu Family become the laughingstock of Capital City’s elite circles?
Fu Si put on his glasses and spoke indifferently, “I’m hanging up now.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Qin Cheng had been shrinking to the side. Seeing that Fu Si had hung up, he quickly approached, “Mr. Fu, I’ve dug up some information about that girl! She was just acknowledged today by the Chi Family as their daughter, named Chi Gui.”
“Chi Gui?” Fu Si’s eyebrows rose slightly, surprised by the name.
Named the same as Professor Chi…
Qin Cheng nodded, “Yes, it’s the same as Professor Chi’s name, but it must just be a coincidence. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the Chi Family flaunt such an honor at their young son’s birthday banquet?”
He touched his chin, feeling like a detective, “According to my investigation, Chi Gui grew up in the countryside with her grandmother because her parents weren’t around, and she was often bullied and ostracized… This is probably why she’s so skilled physically. And these past few years, she has been working out of town until just recently returning.”
Pictures of Chi Gui had never been published online; only those key leaders in Capital City, the three major families, and those treated by her knew what she looked like.
Qin Cheng’s family wasn’t privileged enough to meet Chi Gui.
While Fu Si could have met her, he had absolutely no interest.
Neither of them linked such a formidable fighter to the rigid and serious medical professor.
Lazily sitting on the couch with his legs casually crossed, Fu Si chuckled, “Didn’t the old man want me to bring Chi Gui back home? I’ve done just as he wished; he should be happy.”
Could it be that Old Sir Fu was furious enough to have a brain hemorrhage?
Grandma’s house couldn’t be cleaned up in just one afternoon.
As evening approached, Chi Gui’s phone rang.
She glanced at it—it was Zhao Yuexiu calling.
Chi Gui answered the phone.
“Chi Gui! What were you thinking? Didn’t I tell you to stay at home and not go out?” Zhao Yuexiu’s angry voice immediately came through, “Come back home right now! Do you hear me?”
Chi Gui hung up directly.
Her phone rang instantly again.
She added the number to the blacklist.
“I need to go back,” Chi Gui said as she stood up from the chair.
She had to meet other members of the Chi Family.
Fortunately, they knew why Chi Gui had come to Nancheng and immediately guessed that the call must have been from the Chi Family.
Since it was Professor Chi’s family matter, they refrained from intervening without her asking.
Fortune handed the rag to a bodyguard next to him, “I’ll take you back.”
“Mhm.” Chi Gui did not refuse.
Their Mercedes was parked downstairs.
In such an old residential area, even seeing a car worth a few hundred thousand was rare, let alone a Mercedes worth over a million, which was very eye-catching.
As soon as Chi Gui stepped out, all the residents in the yard immediately turned their gazes toward her.
