Jiang Lai would not be fooled.
"You just want to help Huo Qinghuai."
Chi Zhan laughed and gave her some meat. "It's up to you."
Ding Dong.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Jiang Lai bit the meat in his mouth and said vaguely: "My family has been very lively recently."
Chi Zhan stood up and opened the door.
Chi Si was standing at the door.
"Young Master..."
"You didn't answer my call, you didn't reply to my message, I have no choice but to..."
Chi Zhan said calmly, "Let's talk about it."
Chi Si glanced behind him and lowered his voice to the minimum.
"The investigation team is here."
Chi Zhan's eyes moved slightly, and his voice was as cold as usual: "I know."
He turned around, stood beside Jiang Lai, bent down and kissed her.
"On a temporary business trip."
Jiang Lai didn't ask much. In his profession, business trips and meetings were normal.
It's normal to be busy during the initial stages.
"How many days?"
"uncertain."
Chi Zhanqian took out his cell phone and glanced at the calls and messages.
As he put on his coat, he said, "I'll leave Chi Si to you. If you need anything, go find him."
"I'm not in a position to answer the phone these days. If you have any important matters, please discuss them with Ruan Nanzhi. Don't make any decisions on your own."
Jiang Lai stuffed a strawberry into his mouth and said, "You are old, so talkative."
"I'm not a three-year-old."
Chi Zhan swallowed the strawberry and tapped her forehead with his fingers, "Is it wrong to care about you?"
"That's right."
Jiang Lai pushed him out, "What Master Chi said is correct, let's go."
"I can finally have a few days of peace and quiet."
Chi Zhan almost laughed out of anger, "I've wasted your time, haven't I?"
"How long has it been since you got bored?"
"My performance isn't bad, is it?"
Jiang Lai slammed the door shut.
Chi Zhan smiled at the door, but when he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.
Chi Si felt that his young master had gone crazy.
"You stay."
After Chi Zhan finished explaining, he left with Chi Xu and others.
Jiang Lai was about to call Ruan Nanzhi to ask about the situation.
She had a hunch that something was wrong with Chi Zhan.
As soon as I picked up the phone, a call came from an unfamiliar number.
She paused, then picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
…
Seeing Jiang Lai about to leave, Chi Si asked, "Are you looking for Madam Zhou?"
Jiang Lai nodded, "Let's talk about work. The clothes in Ningcheng are also made, so I should be going on a business trip."
Chi Si didn't ask any more questions and sent Jiang Lai to Lijing Garden.
But when we reached an intersection, she asked us to turn.
“You are…”
"Of course, we have to talk to my boss about work."
That makes sense.
Chi Si had no suspicion of anything else.
The car drove into the parking lot and he followed Jiang Lai all the way to Nancy's conference room.
Jiang Lai stopped him and said, "Just stay at the door. It's not nice of the business machine to talk to you."
Chi Si thought that he was at the door anyway, and the floor was so high, he couldn't fly away.
He nodded in agreement.
Jiang Lai pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.
There was already someone waiting inside.
But it wasn't Ruan Nanzhi.
"Mrs. Chi, would you like something to drink?"
She sat down opposite him and took out her phone to contact her assistant.
Madam Chi waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not here for tea."
Jiang Lai put down the phone and said, "Just say what you want to say."
Old Madam Chi had no opinion about Jiang Lai.
But she happened to have such a parent.
No matter how outstanding she is, it will be useless if she has such a stain.
"What did Chi Zhan tell you? A business trip?"
Jiang Lai was still nervous when facing the Chi family. After all, they were from a big family, and every member of the family carried an innate sense of oppression.
She is a young lady with an old surname and cannot beat them.
So I just went straight to the point.
"You can just tell me what happened, or you can tell me why you came to me."
Old Madam Chi stopped keeping the secret.
"Chi Zhan was taken in for investigation."
Jiang Lai curled his fingers and his eyes showed tension.
Old Madam Chi saw all her little movements.
"You don't have to pretend to be calm. It's normal to have ups and downs in your emotions."
"After all, if it weren't for you, Chi Zhan wouldn't have to go through this."
Jiang Lai couldn't refute.
Madam Chi continued, "I knew this day would come. Your dear is a ticking time bomb that will explode sooner or later."
"I still say the same thing. If you love Chi Zhan, you shouldn't be a stain in his life."
"I've never been very decisive before, but this time I have to be the bad guy."
"Leave Chi Zhan, child. You can make any conditions you want."
Jiang Lai clenched his hands, and his fingertips gradually turned white.
Her expression had become uncontrollably ugly.
It took me a long time to find my voice.
"Chi Zhan was investigated just because of me?"
"Then what else do you think it could be?" Mrs. Chi asked back.
Jiang Lai took a deep breath. "Jiang Hai didn't just beat or scold me, he intentionally hurt me. I can sue him, and the law will sever our relationship."
"Even if we take a step back, how can it become a stain if Chi Zhan and I are not married?"
“No one has paid attention to this matter online recently.”
"Jiang Hai committed a crime and will definitely go to jail. How could he affect Chi Zhan so deeply?"
A flash of emotion flashed across Mrs. Chi's eyes.
It seemed that he didn't expect Jiang Lai to say these words.
"As long as he is your father, he is a stain."
"It's not good for Chi Zhan's career."
"If you really love him, you should think more about him."
"Marriage is even more impossible."
Jiang Lai pursed her lips and spoke after a few seconds.
"I'm also surprised that you can't persuade him and you want me to give up."
"But I've already given up once, and you saw what happened."
"You're using the same old tricks again. You know in your heart that you can't change Chi Zhan's decision."
"He can even find another way for me."
The smile on Mrs. Chi's face faded a little.
She came here today not to listen to Jiang Lai express how much Chi Zhan loved her.
"Are you touched that I changed the path for you?"
"It's fine if you can't help him, but now you want him to give up his original plan for you?"
"He clearly has a bright future ahead of him, but you insist on making him follow you down a muddy path?"
Three consecutive questions.
Jiang Lai smiled, "Don't hold me up so high, Madam Chi. Chi Zhan's current path was forced upon him by you."
"Even if he's doing business, he can still bring glory to the Chi family."
"Originally, he had more than one path."
Old Madam Chi clenched her back teeth.
I felt that the newly implanted teeth could not bear the force at all and started to become loose.
This looseness made her angry.
He also turned completely cold towards Jiang Lai.
"If you don't understand, don't try to speak in such a high-sounding way here."
"How it benefits the Chi family is not something you, an outsider, can comment on."
Jiang Lai asked back, "Then why do you blame all this on an outsider like me?"
