The night Chi Yuan and Qi Wang consummated their relationship, Qi Wang, as an illegitimate child, had just been acknowledged by the Qi family.
At that time, the Chi family was at its peak, an...
Chapter 114 Why Should I Tell You
But even if it was just a form of climbing up the social ladder, so what? If Mr. Bai didn't refuse, there would be nothing wrong in taking the opportunity to repair the relationship between the two parties.
Chi Yuan asked tentatively, "Mom and Dad, what do you want to do now? Should I take you to see Mr. Bai?"
Since I was the one who got the cooperation, it would be reasonable for me to bring people to meet him.
Father Chi nodded: "It is most appropriate for you to do this."
Obviously, Chi's company is still managed by Chi's father, so there is no problem for him to meet Mr. Bai with his status.
Why should she, who had only worked at Chi's for a few months, be brought to see him?
However, it would be nice for the three of them to go together to meet him.
"Then let's go. Our two families haven't had a good chat for a long time."
Chi Yuan took his parents to the front seats, where all the Bai family members were.
"Hey? Yuanyuan, where's Qi Wang? Didn't he come with you?"
Bai Qingcheng asked casually, "There are many people watching him at the banquet. You have to keep a close eye on him."
"Qingcheng, how can you talk like that?!"
It was Old Lady Bai who spoke.
She just followed the way she should address him. In fact, she was not old at all, and was even a few years younger than Wen Yurong.
Bai Qingcheng quickly apologized: "Yuanyuan, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to curse him to cheat, but Qi Wang has been like a fish in water recently, and there are indeed more and more women eyeing him."
The Bai family's education is not strict, but the family tradition is very upright. Today's occasion is quite formal, so it's no wonder that Mrs. Bai would give special instructions.
"What could I possibly misunderstand? We don't need to worry about this in our relationship."
Chi Yuan smiled at the two elders opposite him, and after some blessings, he introduced the purpose of his visit.
"Uncle Bai, I remember that our two families often visited each other in the past. You two can come to our house often in the future."
Mr. Bai nodded in understanding, turned his gaze to Mr. Chi, and couldn't help but sigh: "We have known each other for many years..."
The greetings from our parents seemed to be just worthless nonsense.
Bai Qingcheng quietly pulled me out, but Bai Qinghe was not so lucky.
He needs to inherit his father's business, so it would be best for him to stay and chat.
"Alas...isn't it good to just chat with friends? When you have to tie it to profit, people's hearts become cold."
Bai Qingcheng muttered quietly, "Ever since returning home, my eldest brother hasn't been as happy as before. He has a frown on his face all day long. Sometimes I don't even dare to talk to him."
"Has Brother Bai changed so much?" Chi Yuan was very surprised: "But he really didn't say much today."
He even started a business fight with Qi Wang as soon as they met.
"Yuanyuan, will you become like that in the future?"
When he suddenly mentioned himself, Chi Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Not really, don't worry."
Having said that, she herself was not sure.
Although he had not been in the Chi family for a long time, Chi Yuan already knew that he would have to face many things in the future.
Maybe people really will change over time.
"Come on, let's go get something to eat first."
Just as Bai Qingcheng was about to pull her away, Qi Ye walked towards them.
He was alone, and the female companion he brought with him was not there.
Chi Yuan immediately thought of Qi Wang.
That woman named Yu Zihan wouldn’t be staying with him, right?
"Where are you two going? Do you have time to chat?"
Qi Ye has used the same excuse countless times, and Chi Yuan refused every time, but this guy still enjoys it.
"What the hell! There's nothing to talk about with you."
Bai Qingcheng turned and left, and Chi Yuan was about to leave as well, but suddenly people appeared from all directions at the same time and quickly surrounded them both.
"It seems that we can only talk first."
Bai Qingcheng's eyes widened. She didn't expect him to be so bold. "Qi Ye, this is my dad's party. What do you mean by stopping me?"
Chi Yuan understood what he meant.
He wanted to force Bai Qingcheng to separate from him so that he could take action.
"Miss Bai, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to stop you. I just have something I want to talk to Yuanyuan about."
Qi Ye looked over, and Chi Yuan met his gaze directly, with contempt revealed in his eyes.
"Master, it seems that there is nothing much to talk about between us. We have discussed cooperation and the relationship is over. What else do you want to tell me?"
How can this person feel at ease?
And he seemed quite sure that he would agree to it.
"Awang drank too much. I asked Zihan to help him to the lounge first. Are you sure you don't want to go and take a look?"
Chi Yuan had a hunch that this was definitely a trap.
But since it was related to Qi Wang, she had no choice but to step in.
"You didn't lie to me?"
His voice was cold and intimidating: "If I hadn't seen Ah Wang, Qingcheng could have testified for me. You lured me there with ill intentions."
In this way, Qi Ye will also be ruined.
He is a man who cares about his reputation. He would not ignore the consequences just to lure me over.
"Of course, I didn't lie to you. If Miss Bai is willing, you can come along."
Bai Qingcheng turned around and nodded slightly.
She really wanted to go together.
I just shook my head and whispered, "Tell Chen Jinxuan about this. If there's still time, you can check the surveillance footage to see exactly how they did it."
Get Qi Wang drunk? Unlikely, unless the wine was drugged from the beginning.
How could Qi Wang directly accept Qi Ye's wine? Just thinking about it was impossible.
With just this one sentence, Bai Qingcheng reacted, glared at Qi Ye fiercely, and then separated from Chi Yuan.
Some of them even tried to stop her, but Bai Qingcheng yelled at them, "Get out of here."
Being threatened by an outsider at my own family’s birthday party... How abominable!
Even if the person being threatened wasn't her but her friend, it would still be a slap in her face!
Only after Bai Qingcheng completely disappeared from his sight did Chi Yuan turn to Qi Ye and continue speaking: "Okay, she's gone. What do you mean? Can you just speak frankly?"
Qi Ye, however, looked puzzled: "Me? Didn't I tell you just now? Ah Wang is drunk, you should go check on him right away."
Are you really drunk?
Chi Yuan was half-believing and half-doubting: "Then why don't you get out of the way? Your people are surrounding me, how can I go to see him?"
Qi Ye just turned around and said: "Then please, Yuanyuan, I will take you there myself."
Damn it... I was actually threatened at the banquet.
Chi Yuanguang felt angry just thinking about it.
But right now, she didn't dare to make too much trouble.
What happened four years ago cannot happen again.
If Qi Wang really passed out drunk, he must not lie down with that woman...
Just thinking about that scene, Chi Yuan almost fainted.
That's impossible. They are all victims of that incident. Qi Wang will definitely be more careful.
As she had guessed, Qi Ye led her to a place with fewer people and then to the corridor.
"Yuanyuan, you never told me about the artificial intelligence project before."
When Qi Ye mentioned what happened back then, she just found it funny.
"Why should I tell you?"
