Chapter 1
After graduating from university, Chi Yunyi came to work at her own company. Her father, Chi Youkun, was the chairman, and her sister, Chi Yunshan, was the CEO. She became CEO, a self-proclaimed, very small, CEO.
Today, the chairman asked Yun Yi to go to his office and said that he had an important matter to discuss with her.
Boss Yun Yi's father's office is majestic and imposing. Chi Youkun is busy in it day after day, and seems to have become such a majestic and imposing person.
Chi Youkun saw his daughter come in and hung up the phone.
"Boss Chi, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"The Xiang family wants to marry into our family." Chi Youkun told his daughter directly.
Chi Yunyi blinked, "Which Xiang family? The Xiang family that just took my brother back?"
"right."
It's a long story. Xiang Yu, the only son of the Xiang family, was abducted by human traffickers at the age of three and has never been found. From the eighth grade of junior high school, he received financial support from the Chi family until he finished college. The Chi family not only provided financial support but also nurtured him to excellence. Later, Xiang Yu was adopted by the Xiang family. Recognizing their debt of gratitude, the Xiang family, both overtly and covertly, sought a marriage alliance with the Chi family, thus proposing a marriage alliance.
Chi Youkun continued, "Are you willing?"
"My brother is the only child in the Xiang family, and you want me to marry him? Is Old Man Xiang crazy? This won't work. I've called you brother for so many years... No, this absolutely won't work!" Before leaving, Chi Yunyi didn't forget to encourage Chi Youkun, "Mr. Chi, 51 is the right age for striving. You keep working hard. I'm leaving first."
"But…"
"I'll take care of this matter right now and ask my brother to reject Old Man Xiang."
Chi Yunyi drove his fiery red sports car and headed to the next destination with a clear purpose.
On the way, she called Xiang Yu on WeChat, and the call was answered in seconds. The speed was so fast that it was unbelievable. Chi Yunyi laughed twice, "Brother, aren't you busy today?"
"fine."
"Then are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together."
There was a pause on the other end. "I have an appointment at noon. What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Yes, I have something to ask you."
"You can come directly to my office now."
"Okay, I'll be there now."
Xiang Yu's office was on the top floor. He had already greeted his secretary in advance, so Chi Yunyi had a smooth journey.
Xiang Yu was drinking coffee by the window. When he saw Chi Yunyi come in, he took the cup and walked over.
Chi Yunyi didn't often see Xiang Yu in a suit, but now it seemed he really suited it. The custom-made suit perfectly complemented his figure. He looked thin, but his shoulders and back were broad, like a distant mountain, which made his waist look slender and straight. The section below the waist was also well-proportioned, and his legs were long, making him walk with style.
"Brother, did Uncle Xiang tell you about the marriage?"
"I know."
"Then do you agree?"
"Um."
"You agreed?! Damn it, you can't agree!" Chi Yunyi was anxious, and stomped her steps closer to him. Xiang Yu looked up at her.
"We are brother and sister. Brothers and sisters can't... can't do that!"
Xiang Yu stared at her and asked, "Are we related by blood?"
"No."
"In the same household registration book?"
“No.”
"Then we can get married."
Chi Yunyi pulled the chair opposite and sat next to him, "Brother, I'm young and haven't played enough. I want to play for a few more years."
"I'm going to tell you a secret. I'm incredibly fickle. I'm attracted to anyone who looks good. I'm completely captivated by all the male models out there. Right now, all I have eyes for are male models. I can't stand anyone else."
"Brother, you understand what I mean, right? The colorful things outside are so beautiful. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and lose face for both families."
"It's okay, I'll keep an eye on you. And," Xiang Yu corrected her, "that's called feasting and drinking."
"It's almost the same. Would you like to reconsider?"
"Why don't you think about it again?" Xiang Yu asked her in return.
"No, I don't agree. Find someone else."
Xiang Yu brought out a document and said, "The visible benefits that can be brought by the marriage between the two families are all on this document. After you read it, answer me again."
Chi Yunyi sat across from him, flipping through the papers. Financially, the Chi family couldn't compete with the Xiang family. The enormous profits this marriage would bring the Chi family would be enough to last them five years. When he looked over, Xiang Yu raised an eyebrow, then looked away, picking up the coffee cup beside him and continuing to drink, calmly.
Seeing Chi Yunyi still hesitating, Xiang Yu said, "You can find a male model."
Chi Yunyi's eyes lit up.
Xiang Yu turned his face away and said, "I won't interfere with your private life."
"Did I hear correctly?" Chi Yunyi turned on the recording. "Brother, words are not enough. Say what you just said again and I'll record it."
“…” A vein popped up on Xiang Yu’s forehead.
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm leaving." Chi Yunyi made a gesture to walk out.
"You can find a male model. I won't interfere with your private life."
"It would have been better if this had been done earlier," Chi Yunyi immediately called her father, "I agreed, please arrange it quickly, right away."
Chi Youkun teased his daughter: "Didn't you say you didn't want to? Didn't you ask me to work hard? I'm working hard."
"Old man, you better learn something. There's no time to lose, make arrangements quickly."
Chi Youkun laughed twice, "Okay, let me confirm again, are you really willing?"
"Yes, yes, let's arrange it quickly."
Xiang Yu leaned back in his chair and drank his coffee calmly. After Chi Yunyi hung up the phone, he took out a chocolate gift box from his desk drawer. "Your favorite chocolate."
Chi Yunyi glanced at him and said, "No, I'm trying to lose weight." Then she turned and left.
Xiang Yu counted the time. Within three seconds, the greedy cat returned the same way, took the chocolate, put on sunglasses and left.
That evening, the family gathered for dinner. Chi Yunshan had just broken up with her boyfriend and was in a bad mood, so she buried her head in her food with a gloomy face. When she heard the news, her face darkened even further, and she put down her chopsticks and stopped eating.
Chi Yunyi moved the chair, sat over, and peeled a shrimp for her, "Sister, you eat it."
Chi Yunshan sat up and said, "I have something to do. I need to make a phone call."
Chi Yunyi was confused. "What's wrong with her? Did you provoke her, Dad?"
Chi Youkun was eating peacefully, "How dare I mess with her?"
Liang Qian looked at her husband and daughter, "Shanshan is in a bad mood today."
Chi Yunyi took the shrimp from her plate and ate it herself.
Chi Yunshan returned to her room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She called Xiang Yu, but he refused to answer and replied coldly: Something happened.
Chi Yunshan: I have something important to talk to you about.
Chi Yunshan continued to call and Xiang Yu answered.
They had known each other for over ten years, and their relationship hadn't been very good to begin with. Chi Yunshan got straight to the point and asked, "What's wrong with you? Haven't you given up yet?"
"I don't understand what you mean."
"Your intentions towards my sister are not pure."
There was a pause, "Then tell her."
Chi Yunshan was very opposed to Xiang Yu becoming her brother-in-law. This man was a man of deep scheming, having already shown his brilliance in high school. Chi Yunshan was very perceptive in her ability to discern psychology, and seeing everything clearly through Xiang Yu's eyes made her wary.
But Chi Yunyi was close to him, calling him "brother" all the time, "brother, give me your pocket money." Their relationship was incredibly close. Now he was even considering a business marriage with the Chi family, which set Chi Yunshan on edge.
"My sister is simple-minded and not the same type of person as you. You are not suitable for her."
After hearing this, the other party said, “You are so simple-minded.”
Chi Yunshan's eyes were spitting fire, and Xiang Yu hung up the phone.
