The old lady was sitting alone on a stool with no one around her. She looked very lonely and desolate.
"Grandma!" Chi Jinchen slowly approached the old lady, walking very gently.
The old lady raised her head and looked at Chi Jinchen in front of her in surprise. The reaction of the elderly is not as good as that of the young. She was surprised for a long time before she reacted.
"Jinchen?" The old lady put down the fish food in her hand, stood up and asked, "You're back?"
Chi Jinchen has already walked to the old lady's side "I came back to see grandma!"
"Good!" The old lady patted Chi Jinchen's arm and nodded excitedly, "It's good that you still remember grandma!"
A relieved smile appeared on the old lady's wrinkled face.
"You haven't been back for so many years, so you're leaving now, right?" The old lady looked at Chi Jinchen with expectant eyes, eager to hear Chi Jinchen's answer.
Chi Jinchen paused and replied calmly, "I'm not leaving for now!"
After promising Zhuang Ye, he would not leave the Chi family for some time.
"Okay," the old lady nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "I'm glad you're back!"
Chi Jinchen exchanged a few words with the old lady when a voice suddenly came from another direction.
"Brother, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Chi Ming came from another direction. He was wearing a black suit and followed by a bodyguard. He looked very impressive.
With her short black hair combed back, she looked energetic, with a smug look in her eyes.
"Brother, it took you so long to come back. We really missed you so much!"
Chi Jinchen didn't say anything, just looked at the old lady indifferently.
"Chi Ming, I told you before that I don't want to see you, why don't you leave now!" the old lady said angrily.
Chi Ming said with a fake smile, "Grandma, I am also your grandson. My eldest brother rarely comes home, so shouldn't I take his place and honor you?"
"I don't need you to show me respect!" The old lady said to Chi Ming coldly.
"But now I have officially taken over all the affairs of the Chi family for my father, so I must live in the manor too!" Chi Ming said proudly.
The old lady said angrily, "As long as I am here, I will not allow you to live in the manor!"
"Grandma, you don't have the final say now. Dad has given me the real power, so I have no choice but to move in!" Chi Ming sighed. "Brother, why didn't you come back earlier? Do you know how long Dad waited for you at the family dinner a few days ago?"
Although he looked embarrassed, his tone was full of gloating.
Because Chi Ming and her mother were involved with Chi Zhen when Xue Li was still in the Chi family, even if Xue Li left the Chi family, the mother and daughter would not be able to live in the manor openly.
Although they did not live in the manor, the place they lived in was not bad. Chi Zhen had spent a lot of effort to find a place for them and their mother. It was the largest and best mansion in the most prosperous area of the capital.
Chi Ming, apart from not living in the master's manor, all other treatments he received were compared to that of Chi Jinchen, a serious young master.
Of course, he can be where he is now thanks to a good mother who is not only calculating but also extremely ambitious. She has been able to hold Chi Zhen's heart firmly in her hand for so many years, which is why Chi Ming has everything he has now.
Since the family banquet ended, Chi Ming tried every possible way to get his mother to live closer to the Chi family manor. Even if the old lady refused to agree, she could not stop him.
Because he now has the right to speak in the Chi family.
So it was inevitable for him to move into the Chi family.
Even if Chi Jinchen came back now, it would be useless.
The old lady listened to Chi Ming's words and took a deep breath. "As long as I'm here, I won't allow you two to live here!"
Chi Ming was not angry, but said very proudly, "Grandma, I know you have always looked down on me, but it doesn't matter, at least the elders of the family don't look down on me!"
Seeing that the old lady's mood was a little unstable, Chi Jinchen said softly, "Grandma, let me take you back to rest!"
"I..." The old lady was reluctant to leave.
"Grandma, don't worry, I won't leave. I'll take you back first! Don't ruin your health for unworthy popularity!" Chi Jinchen said in a deep voice.
When Chi Ming heard Chi Jinchen's words, a scornful smile appeared on his lips. He is no longer the same person now. Since the family dinner, he has successfully taken the reins of the family. As the eldest son of the Chi family who rarely returns home, his elder brother Chi Jinchen no longer poses any threat to him.
After sending the old lady back, Chi Jinchen just walked out of the old lady's residence and saw Chi Ming standing there waiting for him.
"Brother, aren't you back too late now?" His tone was indescribably proud. "Brother, isn't he doing well in the entertainment industry? I heard he has countless fans?"
"Do you think it's too late?" Chi Jinchen stood still, put his hands in his pockets, and said naturally, "But I don't think it's too late!"
After saying that, he walked past Chi Ming, leaving behind a dashing back view.
"Oh!" Chi Ming chuckled. "So what if you come back now? The Chi family will be mine sooner or later. You can only get out of the Chi family!"
Chi Jinchen returned to his residence, which was the largest house in the manor except for the main residence.
When he walked over, he saw the housekeeper Uncle Xiang waiting for him at the door.
"Young Master, you're back?" Uncle Xiang asked.
"Yeah!" Chi Jinchen nodded slightly in response.
"I'm sorry, young master. I didn't get anything for you regarding the family dinner!" Uncle Xiang said with tears in his eyes, his tone full of self-blame.
Chi Jinchen looked into the distance with a pair of sharp eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Uncle Xiang has nothing to do with you. This is my thing and no one can take it away!"
Uncle Xiang was stunned, and even a little bit didn't believe what Chi Jinchen said, "Master, do you want to...?"
He didn't say the rest of the words because he was a little unsure. Since he became an adult, Chi Jinchen rarely returned home and never asked about family matters. He would rather go to the entertainment industry than return to the Chi family to take over the affairs of the Chi family.
Even the elders in the family who had always had high hopes for him were disappointed in him after such a long period of fading support.
That's why Chi Ming came out to pick up the loose ends and took over the leadership of the Chi family.
"I will be at Chi's house for the near future!" This sentence gave Chi Xiang an affirmative answer.
"Okay... okay... okay!" Uncle Xiang said several "good"s in a row. "I have someone come to clean your place every day. You can move in directly. I will also prepare some food, clothing and daily necessities for you!"
"Okay, please, Uncle Xiang!" Chi Jinchen responded.
