Chapter 10: Chapter 10 The Distinct Differentiation
“I called for a hitchhike,” Chi Gui said nonchalantly before turning to Xinggu and adding, “You can go first.”
“Alright,” Xinggu replied.
After speaking, he nodded to Chi Changjing and drove away.
Chi Changjing was still somewhat incredulous, yet it was indeed unlikely for Chi Gui to know anyone of high status.
It must have been a hitchhike, right?
Nowadays, plenty of luxury cars do offer rides…
While Chi Changjing was still pondering over this matter, he heard the girl’s indifferent voice beside him: “I’ll go inside first.”
“Alright…” Chi Changjing returned to his senses, and having said only two words, he saw that the girl had already entered the villa’s gate.
She wasn’t asking for his opinion, but rather just notifying him.
Chi Changjing furrowed his brows slightly but thought better of saying anything, considering that Chi Gui had just come from the rural area, and he followed her inside.
As soon as Chi Gui entered the hall, Zhao Yuexiu rushed over, scolding angrily: “You…”
Chi Changjing, who walked in after, interrupted her sternly: “That’s enough, it’s good that the child has returned. Call Ming Kun and Yanyan down for dinner.”
He was a successful businessman. Although he didn’t understand what was going on tonight, he had seen tremendous business value in Chi Gui.
Naturally, his attitude changed accordingly.
Zhao Yuexiu wouldn’t dare retort against Chi Changjing and, upon hearing his words, could only go upstairs to call for Chi Mingkun and Chi Yan.
Soon, two figures appeared from the second floor.
Chi Mingkun was wearing loose pajamas, tall and lanky with a youthful handsomeness and unruliness about him, definitely the most attractive guy in school.
He couldn’t stop yawning and complained, “I had too much to drink at my birthday party today, and I’m supposed to sleep until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Mom, why did you have to wake me up for dinner?”
Dressed in a red dress, Chi Yan was bright and picturesque, her round almond eyes somewhat similar to Chi Gui’s, giving her an added gentleness in her appearance.
At his words, she smiled and said, “Come on, brother, it’s not good to sleep on an empty stomach, Mom is looking out for you. Right, Mom?”
“You’re so considerate, my daughter,” Zhao Yuexiu softened her voice when addressing her two treasures, “Alright, come down and eat your meal. Then you can sleep however you like.”
The three of them walked to the dining table as they spoke.
Chi Yan glanced unnoticeably at Chi Gui, who was sitting not far away, then affectionately wrapped her arms around Chi Changjing’s arm and cooed, “Dad, I got third place in the piano competition yesterday! It’s a shame you couldn’t come to see me; I really wanted to play that piece for you!”
Hearing his daughter’s words, Chi Changjing couldn’t help but smile, “Sorry, sorry, I was too busy yesterday. What do you want as compensation?”
He genuinely adored and was proud of his daughter, who had always been outstanding and sensible since childhood.
Chi Mingkun, with sleepy eyes, approached his usual seat, only to notice that next to his previously empty spot was a girl sitting quietly.
From his angle, he could only see her smooth and shiny black hair and a pretty side profile with long eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes, making her look exceedingly well-behaved.
Chi Mingkun was startled, then realized something and immediately said with disdain, “This is the girl we’ve just brought back from the village? Who allowed her to sit at the table?”
Hearing Chi Mingkun’s words, Chi Yan pretended to notice Chi Gui for the first time, exclaiming in surprise, “Is this our sister? Brother, don’t be like that. Since sister is here now, she’s part of our family.”
After Chi Yan said this, Chi Mingkun snorted in dissatisfaction, but didn’t say anything more.
He stretched his foot out to hook his chair closer to Chi Yan’s, moving further away from Chi Gui.
“Alright, let’s start the meal,” Chi Changjing said without dwelling on the matter and spoke directly to Sister Zhang.
During the meal, Chi Changjing asked Chi Gui, “Chi Gui, you’re 24 this year, right?” Get full chapters from Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
“Mm,” Chi Gui affirmed.
“Then go enroll in the third year of university…” Chi Changjing said, “In today’s society, you can’t do anything without an undergraduate degree. Tomorrow, I will find a school for you, go mingle for two years to get a college diploma, and then I can arrange a job for you.”
