Chapter 585: Come to the Door
Chi Wenyan smiled.
The smile was cold and sarcastic, like the sharpest icicle in winter.
"I just found out today that Mr. Chi also knows how to write the words 'father and son'."
He looked around, his eyes sweeping across the faces of the silent guests one by one, and finally fell back on Chi Ronghai's face which had turned the color of liver.
"Why don't you continue laughing? Weren't you quite happy just now?"
"Let everyone see how Mr. Chi is a 'good father'."
"You--" Chi Ronghai was so angry that he was shaking all over, unable to breathe and almost fainted on the spot.
Feng Lou quickly supported him, stroking his back with a worried look on his face, and whispered, "Dad, don't be angry. The doctor said you can't get too emotional. Chi Wenyan...he's just angry."
His words sounded like he was trying to stop the fight, but in fact they were adding fuel to the fire.
Sure enough, Chi Rongyan glanced at him coldly, his eyes full of warning.
"Do you have a say here?"
At this tense moment, on the verge of breaking out——
Bang!
All the lights in the entire banquet hall went out instantly.
Crystal chandeliers, wall lamps, decorative light strips...all light sources fell silent at the same second.
The world suddenly fell into a pitch-black darkness.
"ah--"
Screams and exclamations broke out from the crowd.
"What's going on?"
"The power is out?"
"Turn on the light!"
The darkness amplified everyone's panic, and the originally luxurious banquet instantly turned into chaos.
The guests no longer cared about watching the grand show and groped their way out, creating a chaotic scene.
"Director Chi, we have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave now!"
"Yes, Mr. Chi, I'll come to celebrate your birthday another day!"
People frantically looked for excuses, just wanting to escape from this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Soon, the backup power supply started up and several emergency lights lit up, casting a dim, pale light.
Under the light, the banquet hall was in a mess.
There were tilted chairs, wine-spilt carpets, and a lonely birthday cake that had been pushed aside.
The guests left in a clear stream.
A carefully prepared birthday party turned into a complete joke.
Chi Ronghai stood in the ruins, looking at the absurd scene in front of him, his body shaking.
All his face, everything he was proud of, was trampled under the feet of his own son and crushed to pieces tonight.
"Are you satisfied?"
He stared at Chi Wenyan intently, his voice hoarse like an old bellows.
"You've messed up my birthday party like this and made me the laughing stock of the whole city, and you're satisfied?!"
Chi Wenyan looked at him expressionlessly.
"I told you I'm here to give you a gift."
"This is my great gift to you."
"roll!"
Chi Ronghai used all his strength and roared.
He pointed in the direction of the gate, his eyes red, looking like a madman.
"Get out of here!"
"I, Chi Ronghai, don't have a son like you! From now on, you are no longer a member of my Chi family!"
"Get out! Never let me see you again!"
The roar echoed in the empty ballroom, full of impotent rage.
Chi Wenyan finally showed a reaction.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a very faint smile of relief.
"I couldn't ask for more."
After saying that, he never looked at the mad old man again. He took Ji Wan's hand, turned around, and walked into the night outside without looking back.
He had no intention of entering the Chi family's door again.
I came here today just to completely sever that last ridiculous blood connection.
Now, the goal has been achieved.
The heavy door of the banquet hall closed completely, isolating Chi Wenyan and Ji Wan from outside.
It also blocks out all sounds.
Dead silence.
A suffocating silence enveloped the entire messy banquet hall.
The pale light of the emergency light shone on Chi Ronghai's distorted face, making it look even more terrifying.
He stood there, his body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, with only an angry shell supporting him.
His chest heaved violently.
Every breath was accompanied by a burning pain that burned from the throat all the way to the lungs.
"The traitor..."
"He is a rebellious son!"
Chi Ronghai squeezed out these words from between his teeth, his voice hoarse.
Chi Wenyan's last smile of relief was like a poisoned thorn that pierced his heart and was still stirring wildly inside.
What can you wish for?
He actually said he couldn't ask for more!
"Dad, don't be angry."
Feng Lou's voice sounded at the right time, with just the right amount of anxiety and concern.
He held Chi Ronghai's trembling arm and whispered to him, "It's not worth it to get angry at that kind of person and ruin your own body. If you fall down, I...what should I do?"
These words sound like pure filial piety.
Chi Ronghai suddenly shook off his hand and stared at him with his red eyes.
That look was like a wild beast cornered.
"You saw it too!"
He roared, his voice filled with impotent rage.
"That's what he did to me! He threw my old face on the ground and stomped on it in front of the whole city! He was going to piss me off to death!"
"I raised him up, gave him the best life, and made him the eldest young master of the Chi family!"
"In the end, this is how he repays me!"
Chi Ronghai became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face, which had already turned the color of liver, was now faintly purple.
He felt dizzy and the scene before his eyes began to double.
"Dad, calm down. I understand. I understand everything."
Feng Lou immediately supported him again, smoothed his back, and said with a sad face.
"Chi Wenyan is just too rebellious. He's never suffered hardship since childhood and doesn't know how difficult it is for you. Now he's been instigated by others and is doing things without considering the consequences."
He paused, and his tone became extremely earnest.
"Don't worry, from now on, I'll be there for you."
"The Chi family has me. I will never let you suffer any grievances again, and I will never let anyone laugh at you."
Every word he said hit Chi Ronghai's heart precisely.
yes.
He also has a son.
An obedient, sensible son who always stands by his side.
Unlike that rebellious son, that beast who was born to collect debts!
This thought not only failed to comfort him, but instead aroused even more intense hatred and resentment.
Why?
Chi Ronghai has been in the business world all his life, but now that he is old, he is humiliated by his own son!
“Huh…huh…”
A burst of air suddenly rushed to his head, Chi Ronghai suddenly covered his chest, and a painful gasp came from his throat.
He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so severe that he almost fainted.
Breathing was taken away in an instant.
