5-year-old Chi Nai returned to ten years ago. At that time, her CEO father Baiyi Chi had just taken over the Chi Group, and her actress mother Yuan Yao Qin was still a third-tier actress with a bad...
“I think it’s super pretty too! I specially changed into this dress to show Sister Qin!” Chi Nao said mysteriously.
Qin Yuanyao smiled: "Because I bought it for you, right?"
Chi Nai was even happier to see that her mother still remembered, and nodded her fluffy little head repeatedly: "Yes!"
"Hmm—it seems I have good taste. The cheese dress is really beautiful!" Qin Yuanyao deliberately praised herself as well.
"Sister Qin has such good taste!" Chi Nao said very seriously.
Qin Yuanyao's fatigue from filming all day was dispelled by the heartwarming little glutinous rice dumpling, Cheese.
So this is the joy of raising human babies?
But the premise is that the human offspring must be raised to be as heartwarming and adorable as Cheese in a pool. If they are raised to be like Feng Xuan, then it would be better not to have offspring at all.
Qin Yuanyao and Chi Naoqi entered the house hand in hand, looking cheerful.
Chi Baiyi had already instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal.
After enjoying a delicious meal, Chi Baiyi called Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao to his study.
"Dad, do you really have something to tell me and Sister Qin?" Chi Nao asked.
She thought her father's earlier statement that he had something to tell her and her mother was just an excuse.
Chi Baiyi hummed in agreement and told Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao about the situation of Cui Yi that Mu Hai had investigated.
However, he omitted mentioning the foreign bank transfer.
He felt that even if he told Chi Naozi about this, she probably wouldn't understand.
After saying that, Chi Baiyi said, "Therefore, Cui Yi can only serve two or three more years in prison at most. It's impossible for him to serve ten years or more."
After stating his final conclusion, Chi Baiyi stared at Chi Naozi, waiting for her reaction.
Just as he expected, Chi Cheese's little face wrinkled up.
We can't let Cui Yi stay in jail forever! What can we do...?
What if Cui Yi sets fire to her house again, just like he did ten years later? What would be the point of her traveling back ten years?
Chi Cheese's tightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed.
She said, "Dad, after Cui Yi gets out of prison, could you send someone to keep an eye on him so he can't do anything bad again?"
If Dad's people keep an eye on Cui Yi, then even if Cui Yi tries to do something bad at her house, Dad will know immediately and stop her right away!
“It is possible,” Chi Baiyi said, his deep, dark eyes fixed on her. “But there are so many bad people in this world, why do you only want me to keep an eye on him?”
Chi Nai was speechless; she didn't know how to answer the question.
"Cheese, why are you so interested in Cheng Huang Mask and Cui Yi? Do you know something about them?" Chi Baiyi asked further, his expression stern.
Chi Nai's fair and tender little face was full of evasiveness.
She looked at her father, then at her mother, lowered her eyes, then looked up again at her mother.
Qin Yuanyao was somewhat confused by her gaze.
Why are you looking at her?
Could this possibly have anything to do with her?
Chi Baiyi also noticed that Chi Nao had been glancing at Qin Yuanyao for a while every now and then, and he had the same doubts and guesses in his heart.
He remembered the last time Chi Nao said that if he continued to treat her this well, she would tell him a big secret. At that time, he would glance at Qin Yuanyao every now and then.
If the big secret Chi Nao wanted to tell him, and the reason she was so interested in Chenghuang Mask and Cui Yi, were all related to Qin Yuanyao, then Chi Nao's initial decision to have Qin Yuanyao go with them to find the man wearing Chenghuang Mask in Anfeng Village was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, nor was it simply because she liked Qin Yuanyao very much that she had her go along...
Having figured out this relationship, Chi Baiyi was slightly surprised.
What thoughts and secrets are hidden in Chi Nai's small body?
Chi Naozi was still debating whether or not to tell her parents now that she had traveled from ten years in the future.
She felt that her father was growing to like her mother more and more, and that the time was right to tell her...
Before Chi Nao had finished agonizing over it, there was a knock on the study door.
Aunt Pang announced from outside, "Mr. Chi, Cheese's great-great-grandfather and great-aunt, as well as young master Chi Chen, have arrived."
Upon hearing that Chi Boyou and his wife Guo Xiuyun had arrived, Chi Baiyi's expression turned cold.
"I understand," he said to Aunt Pang outside, "I'll be down in a bit."
Chi Baiyi didn't have time to ask Chi Cheese any further.
He got up from the sofa, ready to go downstairs.
Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao went downstairs with him.
Chi Boyou, Guo Xiuyun, and Chi Chen sat on the sofa in the living room.
Chi Boyou looked displeased, Guo Xiuyun looked aloof, and Chi Chen looked helpless.
Chi Bo-you is scolding the servants in the house.
"We've been here for so long, and you haven't even offered us a cup of tea. Is this how Chi Baiyi teaches you to do things?!"
The servants were too timid to speak and could only keep their heads down.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to drink my tea."
Chi Baiyi's cold voice drifted down from the stairs.
When Chi Boyou and Guo Xiuyun looked up and saw Chi Baiyi, their eyes filled with hatred.
When they saw Qin Yuanyao following Chi Baiyi downstairs, they were all stunned, and then the hatred and contempt in their eyes became even more obvious.
They had long heard that Chi Baiyi had invested in the variety show "Our Little Family," a show that Chi's Group, which had never been involved in the entertainment industry, in order to get an actress on the show.
Although the show's immense popularity brought the Chi Group a lot of money, they had already recouped their investment long ago.
But if I told people, wouldn't they just laugh at me?
The president of the prestigious Chi Group is actually hanging out with an unknown actress with no notable works in the entertainment industry, and even spending money on her.
"My nephew is so generous to an actor, yet so stingy to his own uncle. What a world!" Chi Boyou shook his head with a sneer.
Chi Baiyi sat down on the sofa, his posture relaxed yet exuding domineering aura: "Yes, I am a businessman, and businessmen are profit-driven. I will not be polite to anyone who makes me lose money, even if they are my blood relatives."
Chi Baiyi's words struck a nerve with Chi Boyou, revealing the purpose of his visit and his recent anxieties, which made him somewhat embarrassed and angry.
"It's not like I haven't made money for the Chi Group before! When your father was still the president of the Chi Group, did I not make a single penny for the Chi Group? Just because I haven't achieved anything in the last year or two, you've demoted me repeatedly. Have you been disliking me for a long time and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of me?!"
"I only demoted you. You still received your full year-end bonus, so it won't affect your life at all. If I really disliked you, I wouldn't have been so generous." Chi Baiyi's tone was leisurely yet very authoritative.
Chi Boyou was so angry that his blood boiled.
At his age, money is important, but so is face.
