Chapter 82: Chapter 82: There’s No Need to Continue
Chi Gui said goodbye to the butler and casually chose a sofa to sit down on.
Xing Gu pondered somewhat bewildered, “Professor Chi, you just have to reveal your identity, and he definitely won’t refuse you.”
“There’s no need,” Chi Gui replied calmly, not taking the matter to heart, “I came here just to fulfill a last wish for my grandmother. As for what the other party thinks, it doesn’t matter.”
It took a moment for Xing Gu to understand.
If one had to declare their identity even for a meeting, then there was no need to continue the relationship.
Not long after, Chi Changjing and a few others also came down from the second floor.
Seeing Chi Gui, Mrs. Su gave Zhao Yuexiu a meaningful glance and walked toward another room.
Zhao Yuexiu wanted to follow, but Chi Changjing stopped her, “Let me go talk to Chi Gui!”
The banquet was lively, with ladies and young masters from various prominent families gathered together, chatting and laughing, while Chi Gui sat alone on a sofa, unnoticed.
Chi Changjing felt a sudden, inexplicable pang in his heart.
After all, she was his daughter, and he softened his tone slightly, “Chi Gui, can you come here? Daddy has something to tell you.”
Chi Gui looked up at him and stood up.
Chi Changjing led her to a room on the first floor designated for guests to rest and pushed open the door.
Chi Gui entered the room, while Xing Gu stayed by the door.
As soon as she went in, Chi Gui saw Mrs. Su and Su Qing sitting on the sofa, with Chi Yan, Chi Mingkun, and Zhao Yuexiu chatting beside them.
She raised an eyebrow and went straight to the other side to sit down, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Mrs. Su did not say anything either, pondering for a moment before speaking warmly, “Chi Gui, you must be aware of the reason we asked you to come this time… Everything that had to be said has been repeated countless times before by me and your mother, so I won’t waste words here. As long as you agree to take the initiative to break off the engagement with Su Qing, I can guarantee you a job at a top-tier hospital in the Capital City after you graduate.”
The Su Family’s main business was hospitals, so this was a promise they could keep.
Hearing Mrs. Su say this, everyone from the Chi Family was shocked.
Even Su Qing couldn’t help but frown.
A job at a top-tier hospital in the Capital City was not something just anyone could obtain.
Countless medical students each year were desperately trying to get into these hospitals!
Mrs. Su had just made such a generous offer right from the start!
Chi Gui didn’t say anything, her slender fingers lightly tapping on the table.
She was a bit puzzled. Did the Su Family look down on her so much that they thought this easily attainable promise was a bargaining chip?
“What more could you be dissatisfied with?” Seeing that Chi Gui remained silent, Mrs. Su felt even more contempt, “Do you want money? Just name your price!”
Su Qing glanced at Chi Gui, who still didn’t plan to speak, and finally said, “Chi Gui, I cannot possibly marry you. If you insist on dragging this out, our family can force the cancellation of the engagement; it’s just that then, you won’t get anything out of it.”
Chi Yan remained silent, her eyes downcast, sitting obediently and demurely.
Chi Mingkun glared at Chi Gui with disgust, but he dared not speak because of Chi Changjing’s presence.
Unable to restrain herself, Zhao Yuexiu spoke up, “Chi Gui, let me make it clear to you, if because of your failure to recognize what’s good for you, you force the Su Family to take measures to protect themselves, we will not care about you!”
Hearing this, Chi Gui finally came back to her senses.
She chuckled softly and looked at Chi Changjing, “Do you think so too?”
Chi Changjing didn’t say anything for a moment.
He felt that to speak in such a heartless manner was cruel, but to not speak…
Chi Changjing looked at Chi Yan, who was sitting there with her eyes downturned, thought of her increasingly bright future prospects, and ground his teeth, “Chi Gui, just agree for now, and Daddy will find you a better marriage…” The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
“Heh.” Chi Gui chuckled and shook her head, stopping Chi Changjing from continuing, “I agree.”
Seeing that Chi Gui had agreed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Chi Gui didn’t pay attention to everyone’s reactions and simply said, “But…”
