Chapter 145 You Can't Protect Her
"Are your dresses ready?"
In the noisy environment of the staff canteen, several girls wearing employee badges were chatting animatedly.
"I have to get ready, I'm going to dazzle those IT guys tonight." The short-haired girl deliberately raised her eyebrows, her smug expression impossible to hide.
"Will we see President Chi's fiancée today?" The girl lowered her voice, as if afraid of being overheard.
"President Chi's fiancée is the daughter of the Jiang family, one of the five great families."
"Is that the girl in the company group chat?" the girl with the ponytail asked gossipily.
A woman in a white business suit walked over and tapped on their table. "We'll find out tonight."
The girls fell silent, exchanged a wide-eyed glance, and quickened their pace of eating.
Grandpa Chi, accompanied by Chi Rui-che's father Chi Jing-wen and Chi Jing-an, arrived at Cheng-ching Building. The 400-meter height from bottom to top did indeed give one a feeling of looking down on everything.
"Tonight's annual meeting will be Xiao Yi's first public appearance at the Chi Corporation as your fiancée. All the media outlets will be there," Chi Jingwen said softly, standing beside the old man.
Grandpa Chi sat in the CEO's chair, his eyes fixed on Chi Ruiche behind his sunglasses. "After the New Year, it's time to talk about your marriage with Xiao Yi."
“Dad, Xiao Yi’s mother just passed away, so he probably isn’t in the mood to think about this.” Second Uncle Chi Jingwen respectfully placed a cup of tea next to Grandpa Chi, his smile faint.
Grandpa Chi took a sip of tea, closed the document contract he was reviewing, put the white porcelain lid on the teapot, and the rising white steam stopped.
"Dad, my second brother and I have something to do, we'll pick you up later." Chi Jingwen understood what the old man meant, nodded to Chi Ruiche, and left with his second uncle.
Grandpa Chi reopened a document, a faint feeling emanating from his brow. His deep-set eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, seemed to exude a chill. "They've really grown wings."
Chi Ruiche's pupils contracted slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "Grandpa, are you dissatisfied?"
Grandpa Chi sat quietly in his chair, gazing at Chi Ruiche as if his eyes could see through all his thoughts. "Little Che, I've always told you that you should never reveal your hand at any time."
"Grandpa's teachings are etched in my heart."
"Your engagement with Xiao Yi is over. You should understand what Grandpa means."
Grandpa Chi deliberately picked up the tea lid and made a sound by clattering it against the teacup. The sound of the porcelain was so jarring, but there was no expression on his wrinkled face.
“But you seem to have forgotten that people are not plants or trees, how can they be without feelings?” Chi Ruiche turned his sleeves and walked to the opposite side of Grandpa Chi, his eyes piercing.
Grandpa Chi suddenly burst into laughter, but his sharp eyes were filled with a fierce light. "Xiao Che, you can't protect her!"
Chi Ruiche opened the second page of the folder, where Chi Chengyu's name was clearly written. A faint, cold smile appeared on his lips, and he remained silent.
"You think I care about him?"
Grandpa Chi's wrinkled face stiffened for a moment, then the cold light in his eyes pierced through his sunglasses and landed on the paper.
“You don’t care, but I wonder if Grandma Liu will still be as indifferent as Grandpa when she finds out that her most beloved grandson is in prison.”
"Are you threatening me?" Grandpa Chi gritted his teeth, his face darkening.
"Yes."
"After lying low for so many years, you've now openly defied me for Jiang Yi's sake. Do you really think you're qualified to oppose me now?" Grandpa Chi clenched his fist, the veins on his age-spotted hands bulging.
"I can do without the Chi family." Chi Ruiche dropped his pretense, his face cold, his tall and slender figure standing tall and imposing; even just standing there, one could feel his murderous aura.
"No one is allowed to hurt her. Next time, please ask Grandpa to collect their bodies."
"Let me see what you've learned all these years!" Grandpa Chi suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes turning cold.
Several people stood solemnly in the Chi family's manor, letting the cold wind scatter fallen leaves. The azure sky gradually darkened, and clouds began to gather, becoming gloomy and heavy.
"Everything is ready. This time, everything will be foolproof."
"Second brother, what about me?"
"Don't worry, I doubt Chi Ruiche would dare to touch you." Chi Chengling's face was gloomy, just like the weather.
"Don't get carried away. He's not so easy to deal with."
A layer of frost covered Chi Chengting's pale face, and the time on his watch made his heart boil even more.
"Don't worry, maybe it was before, but it's not anymore."
The gloom that had lingered on Chi Chengyu's face for so long vanished, and his expression brightened. "Second brother, I believe you."
