Chapter 194: Returning to Beijing in a Low-key Manner and Being Disdained

Chi Mingwei's face was full of impatience.

Seeing that his old father's face was so dark that ink seemed to be dripping out, he sat down again helplessly.

"Dad, I'm really tired. I've already agreed to take over the company. Don't worry, I'm definitely no worse than Chi Wenyan."

After hearing his words, Chi Lin's expression not only did not improve, but even became darker.

"Everyone can talk big, but the key is to actually do something."

"Dad, I've never taken over a company before. What do you think I should do? I absolutely..."

At this time, although Chi Mingwei already had some complaints about Chi Lin in his heart, he had to be patient and speak up.

He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the Chi family, only his father could help him.

He rolled his eyes and put on an extremely humble look.

Seeing that his son was sitting here obediently, Chi Lin clenched his hands tightly.

After all, she was his own child, so he gave her a few earnest instructions.

"Once you take over the company, do a good job. The most important thing right now is the land in the west of the city. We must win the competition for this landmark. We can't be careless."

Seeing Chi Lin's repeated instructions, Chi Mingwei also realized the importance of this landmark and nodded in response.

Seeing that his son's attitude was pretty good, Chi Lin didn't say much and turned around to continue his work.

Starting from the next day, Chi Mingwei began to take over the family's practical affairs.

He is usually lazy and does not work properly, but with his father covering for him, he gets along well outside.

But when he was suddenly asked to take over the family affairs, he had no real skills and knew nothing about these things. Even with the help of others, he still messed up the company. Of course, this is a story for later.

On the other hand, Ji Wan and his companion were living quite comfortably.

Because it was Ji Wan's first time in Kyoto, Chi Wenyan took her out to eat and drink every day.

I visited all the famous scenic spots and historical sites in Kyoto and toured all the streets and alleys in Kyoto.

Taking Ji Wan to eat Kyoto's famous snacks.

Of course, while eating and playing, he also did not forget to take Ji Wan to the Chi family's old house.

Because they went there at night.

The moonlight enveloped the entire old house. Ji Wan looked at it from a distance and said something after a while.

“I always feel like this is a haunted house.”

These words made Chi Wenyan stunned. He turned around and looked at her with an incredible expression.

"How could I be wrong? Look at this place, it's so gloomy and full of horror. Especially the woods on both sides, they give people a feeling of ghost claws. The ghostly aura here is so thick that it makes people's intestines and livers rot. No wonder everyone in your Chi family is so unkind, it turns out that everyone has been smoked to death."

"It's a good thing you left the old house early, otherwise you would have been so disgusted by them that you would have changed. I wouldn't have met a man as handsome and righteous as you."

Ji Wan always belittled the people of the Chi family, but at the same time, he defended Chi Wenyan in his words.

Her words warmed Chi Wenyan's heart, and the look in his eyes as he looked at Ji Wan gradually changed.

After a few days of eating, drinking and having fun, Ji Wan and the others started to get down to business. They began to prepare for the official bid.

During this period, Chi Wenyan also took Ji Wan to attend a banquet hosted by some wealthy people in Kyoto.

Chi Wenyan brought Ji Wan with him in the hope that Ji Wan would make some connections through the banquet.

When Ji Wan appeared at the banquet with Chi Wenyan on her arm, Chi Wenyan's cold, handsome and ruthless face was instantly recognized.

"Hey, who is this? Why does he look so familiar?"

"Isn't this the second young master of the Chi family?"

"Yes, yes, I remember now. But wasn't he sent somewhere by the Chi family?"

“Yes, you are Yucheng if there is such a thing.”

"Then why did he come back?"

"I think he came back to take a look. After all, he is already an abandoned child of the Chi family. Back..."

The moment Chi Wenyan was seen, discussions arose.

Most people's words were filled with disdain.

After all, Chi Wenyan was very low-key when he returned to Beijing this time, and most people didn't take him seriously.

What’s more, these rich people are best at stepping down on the powerful and praising the weak.

How could people treat a person like Chi Wenyan, who has been abandoned by his family, with a good attitude?

Listening to these discussions, Ji Wan frowned.

She turned her head and looked at Chi Wenyan, her eyes full of heartache.

In Yucheng, the Ji family is also a big family, and Ji Wan naturally knows the nature of people in big families.

However, the wealthy people in Kyoto demonstrated the saying “When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down” even more vividly.

Normally speaking, no matter what, Chi Wenyan is also a member of the Chi family. Everyone should be more cautious.

But after seeing Chi Wenyan, not only did they not calm down, their voices even grew louder.

Listening to their open and covert criticism and sarcastic remarks, Ji Wan's anger rose rapidly.

"Honey, don't you say that the people who come to these parties are very well-mannered? This party looks quite high-class, so why are all these people here? Why does it smell so bad here? Could it be that someone just came out of the restroom?"

When it comes to insulting others, Ji Wan said he was second, and no one dared to admit that he was first.

She had a faint smile on her face and spoke to Chi Wenyan with a smile.

But these words made the faces of those who were discussing change.

Some people even spoke in a cold voice,

"Chi Wenyan, not everyone can come to this party. Since you've brought a female companion, it's best to control her mouth to avoid causing trouble!"

"Hey, whose unleashed dog are you? And you're still causing trouble with your mouth? My Chi Wenyan is still a member of the Chi family. Even if he's been abandoned, he's still better than some people who overestimate their own abilities and act big."

Ji Wan narrowed his eyes and started to retort without any hesitation.

As luck would have it, the one she was targeting happened to be from a branch of the family.

It took a lot of effort to be able to attend this banquet.

Ji Wan's words were obviously meant to hit his face, causing his face to instantly turn red.

"As the saying goes, things change over time. Who among you can guarantee that you won't be abandoned by your family in the future? Rather than staying here..."

Ji Wan looked around with a smile on his face.

Although she smiled and her voice was gentle, her words touched some people's hearts.

Everyone opened their mouths, but didn't know how to refute.

Seeing Ji Wan's full aura for him, leaving everyone speechless, a smile flashed in Chi Wenyan's eyes.

He was so overjoyed that his eyes turned and he immediately put on an aggrieved look.

"Wanwan, you're absolutely right. These people are the best at putting down the powerful and praising the weak. I..."

Hearing the grievance in Chi Wenyan's voice, Ji Wan felt even more distressed.

She patted Chi Wenyan's hand and comforted him softly.

Being protected by someone, Chi Wenyan was so weak that he hid behind Ji Wan.

He really enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Ji Wan.

Of course, he did this just to tease Ji Wan.

When someone attacks Ji Wan, Chi Wenyan will stand up.

He exuded a chill from his entire body. His full-throttle appearance also intimidated everyone present.
