Chapter 275 The Operation Begins

Xia Yuhuan secretly observed Chi Ruide standing to the side.

Chi Ruide looked rosy-cheeked and radiant, without a trace of worry.

It's unclear whether he genuinely didn't sense the crisis or was simply feigning composure.

Chi Ruide seemed to have a keen eye for detail.

Xia Yuhuan only stole a couple of glances at him before Chi Ruide noticed.

"Your grand-niece-in-law seems quite interested in me? Would you like to have a chat with this old man?" Chi Ruide said with a smile.

Xia Yuhuan looked at Chi Ruide and sighed inwardly.

This person is really deceptive.

When he looks at people with a smile, his gaze is gentle and upright, without a trace of sleazy or unpleasantness.

If she hadn't personally witnessed the original owner's tragic death in her dream, she would have believed that the old man in front of her was a good person.

You can't judge a book by its cover; our ancestors were right.

"You're joking. I was just looking at Ah Chen when my gaze accidentally swept over you, which caused you to misunderstand."

Xia Yuhuan smiled faintly, appearing neither humble nor arrogant.

"I see. I thought I had something dirty on my face that my niece-in-law saw, but she was too embarrassed to tell me," Chi Ruide joked with a smile.

Chi Yanzhou, who was standing to the side, raised his hand and shook Xia Yuhuan's hand.

"Ayu must be hungry. Let's go over there and have some fruit to tide us over."

Chi Ruide had harbored feelings for Xia Yuhuan, and the couple felt deeply disgusted by the matter.

That's why Chi Yanzhou took the initiative to send Xia Yuhuan away.

Xia Yuhuan obediently stood up upon hearing this: "Okay, then I'll go get some fruit, you chat with the elders."

Xia Yuhuan then left, and Chi Yanzhou only looked away after she had gone far away.

Grandpa Chi said irritably, "They're right here at home, and you're still keeping a close eye on them. What, do you think they'll run away?"

Chi Yanzhou said calmly, "It's my own wife, what's wrong with me taking a few more glances if I want to?"

Grandpa Chi was speechless, rolling his eyes at him repeatedly.

That brat is hopeless; all I do is make him angry.

Chi Shaoning, who was standing nearby, said, "Yanzhou, I heard that your wife performed surgery on that guy from the Zhuang family, and it was successful? Is that true?"

Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly: "It's true. Once the wound has healed, we can start rehabilitation. Standing up in the future shouldn't be a problem."

Chi Shaoning said, "Really cured? That's amazing! Yanzhou, you're so lucky. You're outstanding yourself, and you even married such an outstanding wife."

When no one was looking, Li Cuiwei secretly pinched Chi Shaoning.

Chi Shaoning winced in pain and turned to look at her: Why did you suddenly pinch me?

Li Cuiwei: What does it have to do with you that someone else's wife is so capable? Why are you rushing to praise her and contradicting yourself?

Chi Shaoning: How did we end up contradicting ourselves? Yan Zhou's wife is a skilled doctor, so can't we benefit from that?

The two of them were completely at odds.

Chi Yanzhou pretended not to see it and said indifferently, "It's my wife; she's outstanding on her own."

Whether she marries me or not, she is the best one.

Chi Shaoning chuckled upon hearing this: "Yan Zhou, you're right."

Chi Ruide had been keeping an eye on Xia Yuhuan's situation, so he naturally knew about these things.

He pretended not to know: "Yanzhou's wife is such a good doctor? Then our Chi family is blessed."

"People inevitably get sick. Having connections in the hospital is a huge advantage."

“That’s right, that makes sense,” Chi Shaoning chimed in.

Grandpa Chi was unaware of this matter and asked Chi Yanzhou in surprise upon hearing it.

"Is your wife really that amazing?"

“Yes, that’s how amazing it is.” Chi Yanzhou nodded.

"Last time you were so angry you almost passed out, wasn't it my wife who saved you?"

"What, you who were rescued, don't you feel anything?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chi sneered: "Wasn't it all because you guys made me angry? If you hadn't made me angry, I would be perfectly fine and live to be a hundred years old."

...

Xia Yuhuan was unaware that after she left, the focus of the conversation shifted to her.

She walked to the side and got some fruit to eat.

They saw Chi Wenhong and Chi Jianyong running around and playing nearby.

The two of them had a falling out at her house last time, but now they're hanging out together again.

I don't know if one of them was too powerful, or if children really don't hold grudges.

Chi Jianyong is younger, so it's possible he doesn't hold grudges.

But Chi Wenhong is clearly not the type to hold grudges.

Xia Yuhuan was lost in thought when Chi Wenhong and Chi Jianyong also saw her.

Because of what happened last time, the two of them were very afraid of Xia Yuhuan.

Upon seeing her from afar, her face immediately froze and turned pale. The next instant, she turned and ran away.

Xia Yuhuan didn't mind that they didn't come up to greet her.

If she doesn't come, it saves her the trouble of putting on a fake show.

“My sister has toned down a lot recently after what happened last time,” Chi Zhenghao said.

Xia Yuhuan looked at Chi Zhenghao, who had suddenly appeared and was standing next to her, and was a little speechless.

"Where did you come from? I didn't see you at all."

Chi Zhenghao said, "I just arrived."

"oh."

"Thank you," Chi Jung-ho said.

Xia Yuhuan was eating an orange when she heard this and found it strange.

Why are you thanking me?

Why did she force Chi Shaoning and Li Cuiwei to deal with Chi Wenhong last time?

She noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Chi Shaoning showed her no gratitude whatsoever.

Especially Li Cuiwei.

Although she hid it well, Xia Yuhuan still noticed Li Cuiwei's disgust towards her.

“Your actions last time made my parents realize that it was wrong to spoil Wenhong too much, so they have been a little stricter with her recently.”

"Wen Hong is much better overall than before."

Although she still has many bad habits, she is still young, and he believes that she can be corrected.

Xia Yuhuan responded with an "oh".

I'm not interested in this topic.

After all, whether Chi Wenhong is good or bad is meaningless to her.

She's not her biological sister, so she can't be bothered with her.

Chi Zhenghao only came over to say something because he happened to see Chi Wenhong being scared away by Xia Yuhuan.

In fact, ever since he talked with Chi Yanzhou, he had buried his feelings for Xia Yuhuan deep in his heart.

I'll just wait until I have enough time to forget about her.

So after greeting Xia Yuhuan, he didn't linger and turned to leave, heading towards Chi Yanzhou's side.

It was all men talking over there, so he should naturally go there too.

After chatting for a while, the family dinner began.

Everyone moved to the restaurant to eat, and they chatted away, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just as everyone was enjoying themselves and exchanging toasts, a squad of soldiers rushed in and surrounded the area.

Grandpa Chi was shocked: "Which military unit are you from? Why are you breaking into my house?"

Chi Ruide frowned when he saw so many soldiers entering.

I had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

He took a step back, only to find himself blocked.

It is Chi Yanzhou.

Looking at Chi Yanzhou's calm and indifferent expression, Chi Ruide's unease reached its peak.
