Chapter 941 Still alive? What a disappointment!
Xuanzhou.
Chi Nanxun's sixtieth birthday banquet is approaching, and the entire inner palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it a very grand occasion.
"snort."
The old man leaned on his cane and looked out the window. "This birthday banquet is more lively than my own."
The butler remained silent.
That's right.
Anyone who didn't know better would think the old man was dead and that he was in charge of the household.
Everyone in the family knew that, on the surface, it was the old governor's birthday banquet.
In reality, the old governor wanted to use this opportunity to pave the way for the young master's return to China.
"Where is Yingzhou?" The old man withdrew his gaze and asked in a low voice.
"The second young master is in the storeroom." The butler looked around, then leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered, "He seems to be selecting gems."
"It must have been chosen for that girl." The old man chuckled, then sighed, "That kid is very tight-lipped; he just won't say who she is."
At least show him the photos.
"Don't worry, the young master's choice is no mistake," the butler reassured him. "Actually, it's better not to say it."
"..."
The old man glanced at the butler and understood what he meant.
There are too many people in this family, and even in the entire Xuanzhou, who can't stand to see Yingzhou doing well.
Announcing your love interest to the public gives others leverage over you.
Um.
It's fine if we don't say it.
It's not too late to announce it after all the problems are resolved and the situation stabilizes.
——
On the day of the birthday banquet.
Many guests came to offer their congratulations, and the inner palace was bustling with activity.
Most of them came to curry favor with Chang Chi Yingzhou.
Look around.
I didn't see Chi Yingzhou at all.
"Are you sure the governor is back?" a guest asked the person next to him.
The upper echelons of Xuanzhou knew very well how bad the relationship between the father and son was.
It would be more likely that Chi Yingzhou would return to attend the funeral, but could he also offer birthday wishes to the old chief?
"They're definitely back," the subordinate replied respectfully. "It's just that we don't know where they are at this hour."
"Not only did the governor return home, but the eldest son of the Chi family is also said to have been brought back."
"What?"
"That Chi Yingzheng who's not quite right in the head?"
The guests looked at each other, their expressions quite fascinating.
They made the right choice coming to today's birthday banquet.
There's going to be a good show.
...
Inside the room.
Out of respect for the old man, Chi Yingzhou changed into a proper suit.
He sat on the sofa, toying with a top-quality ruby that is extremely rare.
Qu Qingli's hobby is collecting all kinds of gemstones.
Obtain it, demystify it, and then throw it into the closet to gather dust.
She would definitely love it if it were made into a necklace.
"Chief, it's almost time. The old master wants you to come over," the servant knocked on the door to remind him.
"Um."
Chi Yingzhou put the ruby into his pocket, got up, and walked towards the outer hall.
Just as I reached the corner, I heard a familiar yet repulsive voice.
"Stay away from me. I'm just disabled, not dead. I don't need your help."
Chi Yingzheng, leaning on his cane, forcefully pushed away the maid who was helping him.
"..."
The servants were all miserable, clearly being tormented.
"City Chief!"
Someone was the first to spot Chi Yingzhou and spoke up respectfully.
Hearing the sound.
Chi Yingzheng paused, slowly turned his neck, and looked into the distance.
Chi Yingzhou stood under the flickering streetlights, half-lit and half-dark, looking just like a demon in hell who controls life and death.
Its body was enveloped in a chilling, icy frost, making people hesitant to approach it.
"..."
The scene was so horrifying that the servants nearby nearly had their hearts stop.
Will the two young masters start fighting?
Even a beating would be considered mild.
I'm afraid that if we disagree, we'll end up using knives and guns again.
"Little brother, it's been a long time."
Chi Yingzheng, leaning on a cane with one hand, limped over to Chi Yingzhou.
Although he was smiling, his eyes were full of hatred and jealousy.
Chi Yingzhou, with one hand in his pocket and an expressionless face, stared at him and slowly said, "Still alive? What a disappointment!"
Chi Yingzheng's expression changed, but he quickly returned to normal, gritting his teeth and saying, "It is indeed your regret that you didn't kill me back then."
"Is that so?"
Chi Yingzhou raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on his lips. "If you want to die, just say so. I'm ready to grant your wish anytime."
"Don't you understand yet?" Chi Yingzheng's smile was ferocious and arrogant: "Now, the one in control of the situation is not you, but me."
"..."
Chi Yingzhou watched him ramble on and on, thinking that he must have gone crazy from being cooped up abroad for the past few years.
We'll see.
Not wanting to be exposed to his gaze any longer, Chi Yingzhou withdrew his eyes and turned to leave without hesitation.
"Chi Yingzhou—"
Seeing his calm demeanor, Chi Yingzheng grew angry and glared at his retreating figure, growling, "You wait, I will never be the loser."
He'll make Chi Yingzhou pay back the leg he lost sooner or later.
Qu Qingli...
With such a powerful trump card in his hand, he must restrain himself from easily revealing it.
At the crucial moment, a single, decisive strike.
——
In the lobby.
The old man was talking to his unfilial son, Chi Nanxun.
"Ying Zheng has reformed and will not cause trouble again."
Chi Nanxun was scolded by his father and explained with a grim face, "Don't worry, I will definitely discipline him strictly when he comes back."
"The baby died, and you only then did you know to breastfeed?" the old man retorted without any politeness. "Don't you think it's too late to discipline him now?"
Chi Nanxun: "..."
At this moment.
The butler rushed over and said anxiously, "The eldest young master and the second young master bumped into each other in the backyard."
"What?"
Chi Nanxun's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "Did Chi Yingzhou do anything? Is Ying Zheng alright?"
Now that he has a limp, he is even less likely to beat Chi Yingzhou.
"..."
The old man rolled his eyes at his reaction.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Chi Yingzhou had picked it up.
"Old man..."
The old man's butler rushed in, smiling, and said, "The two young masters exchanged a few words and then went their separate ways."
"Um."
The old man nodded with satisfaction.
Yingzhou was never one to cause trouble.
He won't go looking for trouble unless provoked.
"Father, I'm going out to take a look." Chi Nanxun's expression was solemn, and he asked his personal steward to bring Chi Yingzheng over.
He looks so anxious; I'm really afraid he'll get hurt in the slightest.
"snort."
The old man glared at Chi Nanxun again, his anger rising: "You call Yingzhou to my side too. With me here, let's see who dares to bully him."
——
The banquet began soon.
Chi Nanxun led Chi Yingzheng among the guests.
Chi Yingzhou stayed by the old man's side and chatted with him.
Occasionally, I deal with a few bold people who dare to approach me and start a conversation.
Along the way, there were also wealthy young ladies who tried to attract his attention.
But as soon as I got close, I was met with a sharp and indifferent handsome face.
The girl was so frightened that she stopped and silently retreated.
"Look at your expression..." The old man, who had no teeth left, couldn't help but complain as he cracked sunflower seeds, "People look at you like you're a monster, which girl would dare to come near you?"
"Now I understand why you pursued her for three years and still couldn't win her over."
"Has our relationship cooled down?"
Chi Yingzhou, who was holding a glass of red wine, frowned unhappily upon hearing the voice: "If you're going to resort to personal attacks, I'm not going to talk to you today."
"Okay, okay."
The old man grabbed his hand and said with a grin, "Even if you chase me for another six years, I won't say anything."
Six years?
This is a curse.
Chi Yingzhou stood up and left without looking back.
The old man: "Huh?"
——
good evening.
