Xu Zhiming hurried over and said anxiously, "Master, I was just about to come looking for you."

Xu Zhiming glanced at Chi Naozhi with concern, then lowered his voice and said to Old Master Chi, "The eldest master and the eldest madam have arrived."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Chi's expression turned somewhat displeased.

"What are they doing here?!" Old Master Chi said unhappily.

"The master and mistress didn't say anything. But they didn't seem to be in a good mood, probably because of company matters," Xu Zhiming speculated in a low voice.

In fact, Grandpa Chi knew this in his heart.

His eldest son, Chi Boyou, dislikes him so much that the only reason he'd be willing to come here is because of some trivial business at the company.

With a stern face, Old Master Chi strode into the house.

Xu Zhiming led Chi Naozi inside.

Upon entering the living room, they saw Chi Boyou sitting on the sofa, drinking tea like a host, and his wife Guo Xiuyun.

Hearing someone enter, Chi Boyou, holding his teacup, looked up at them.

When Chi Boyou caught sight of Chi Cheese behind Old Master Chi, a clear look of contempt and disgust flashed across his face.

Chi Cheese was stunned by his unfriendly expression.

Ten years later, Chi Cheese and her great-uncle had barely met.

Back then, whenever my great-uncle saw her, he would be indifferent, as if she didn't exist.

Her great-uncle did not have a good relationship with their family. She once heard her father mention that neither Chi Boyou nor Guo Xiuyun attended the funerals of Grandpa Chi and Grandma Chi when they passed away.

"What are you doing here?" Old Master Chi asked with a stern face.

Chi Boyou sneered, "Can't I come to my own father's house? Although my mother has been gone for more than fifty years, she is still a member of this family. Do I need a reason to go back to my own home?"

Old Master Chi had long been tired of hearing Chi Boyou's sarcastic remarks.

Mr. Chi was married twice, and Chi Boyou was his child with his first wife.

Mr. Chi's marriage to his first wife was arranged by a matchmaker. He didn't particularly like her, but since they were married, he still fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband.

The first wife was already in poor health, and her condition worsened after giving birth to Chi Bo-you. She passed away when Chi Bo-you was two years old.

Three years after his death, when Chi Boyou was five years old, Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi got married.

Chi Boyou has always been troubled by this matter, and even now, at the age of fifty-five, he still cannot get over it.

He always believed that it was Grandpa Chi who wronged his mother and that it was Grandma Chi who broke up their family.

However, when Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi met, Chi Bo-you's mother had already passed away for two years, so the problems Chi Bo-you mentioned simply did not exist.

When Old Master Chi handed over the Chi Group to the more capable Chi Hongzhou, Chi Boyou's resentment deepened.

Once Chi Hongzhou handed the Chi Group over to Chi Baiyi, Chi Boyou's inner turmoil became completely unsolvable.

Grandpa Chi has given up on trying to comfort Chi Boyou.

He felt that even if he died one day, Chi Bo-you would probably always hold a grudge against him.

"Speak, what has Bai Yi done this time to displease you?" Old Master Chi cut to the chase.

What else could Chi Boyou and Guo Xiuyun have come to see him for besides this?

"You still know that?" Chi Boyou sneered. "I thought you'd already lost your mind from spoiling some brat whoever came from who-knows-where all day."

"You damned bastard!" Old Master Chi was so angry that he overturned the teacup on the coffee table and knocked it to the ground.

"What nonsense are you spouting in front of a child! You don't consider yourself her great-uncle, and she doesn't consider you family!"

Grandpa Chi was not angry that Chi Boyou said he had lost his mind.

He said he didn't care what Chi Bo-you said about him.

But Chi Bo-woo cannot slander Chi Cheese!

This is his bottom line!

"You just can't distinguish between what's important and what's not, and you like to act on your emotions. That's why I didn't hand over the Chi Group to you in the first place!" Old Master Chi was so angry that his hand was trembling as he pointed at Chi Boyou. "Now Bai Yi has demoted you again, isn't it because you're so old, but how are you any different from a twenty-something-year-old in your actions? You only know how to act impulsively! What great things can you accomplish with a personality like yours!"

"I'm destined for failure because of you! Have you ever given me a complete family? From childhood to adulthood, you've always thought I'm inferior to Chi Hongzhou in every way, and now you think I'm inferior to Chi Baiyi in every way, always favoring their family! Do you really consider me your son?!"

Chi Boyou roared, "If you really considered me your son, would you let a little brat like Chi Baiyi ride roughshod over me, and would you make me have to put up with the attitude of a man in his twenties in the Chi Group?!"

"Do you really know what Chi Baiyi did? Not only did Chi Baiyi demote me, but he also made Chi Chen run sales! I personally trained Chi Chen; his education and abilities are no less than Chi Baiyi's! Just because he's my adopted son, you don't treat him like your grandson and let Chi Baiyi bully him?!"

"Honey, calm down. Let's talk to Dad properly. I believe he's reasonable and will side with us. Don't make yourself angry," Guo Xiuyun said gently, patting Chi Boyou's back.

"Whether I consider Chen'er my own grandson or not, he sees it better than you, his muddle-headed father, do!" Old Master Chi said with a stern look.

He softened his tone and continued, "What achievements have you made in the company these past few years? If you haven't achieved anything, it's normal for Bai Yi to demote you. Only by giving important responsibilities to capable people can the Chi Group develop."

"Do you think the Chi Group has stood the test of time for so many years because of nepotism? You don't even understand this basic principle, yet you have the nerve to come here and cause trouble!"

"Dad, what are you saying?" Guo Xiuyun was displeased. "Boyou has worked at the Chi Group for so many years and has achieved some success. It's just that in the last year or two, his performance hasn't been as good as before. Just because of that, you want to deny all his previous achievements and demote him? What's the difference between that and kicking someone after they've served their purpose!"

"If the group's employees find out about this, they'll mistakenly think that our Chi Group is an ungrateful company. Which employee would still be willing to work hard for the Chi Group?"

Old Master Chi sneered, "Only in the last year or two? Do you really think I'm senile and don't know anything? As far as I know, the year before last, Boyou caused the Chi Group to lose tens of billions! Bai Yi did give him a chance, but he wasn't capable enough and couldn't seize the last chance Bai Yi gave him. Who can he blame?"

Guo Xiuyun felt even more depressed.

She knew that this old man would always side with Chi Baiyi's family!
