《Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All》 Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Does She Understand What Elite Means? Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Does She Understand What Elite Means? The July sky was oppressively hot and irritable. Zhao Yuexiu, following the village chief, caught sight of Chi Gui leaning against her grandmother¡¯s rundown mud wall as soon as she arrived. The girl was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her slim figure comely, her hair tied back in a neat ponytail. Slightly bowing her head, her delicate, fair profile and long eyelashes cast a sharp silhouette. She seemed very well-behaved and quiet. Lacking the rusticity and coarseness of the villagers. Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s annoyed heart found a bit of balance and she approached Chi Gui, saying, ¡°Chi Gui, now that your grandmother has passed away, as of today, you¡¯ll live with me at the Chi Family.¡± She had no wish to bring home such a daughter who had graduated from high school and worked outside for years, one who couldn¡¯t present herself properly. Yet considering Chi Gui¡¯s grandmother had just died, and she was her own flesh and blood, she couldn¡¯t ignore her without drawing idle gossip. The Chi Family was a prestigious and noble family in Nancheng, and they absolutely couldn¡¯t afford a stain on their reputation over an issue like this. Chi Gui heard her voice and slightly lifted her head to look at Zhao Yuexiu. Her eyes were black and bright, beautiful like black gemstones, yet void of emotion. Zhao Yuexiu was well-groomed, dressed in a luxurious, custom-mad Chanel suit that stood out awkwardly in the rural setting, her brows, which resembled Chi Gui¡¯s by sixty percent, carried impatience. The village chief interjected cheerfully, ¡°Chi Gui, your mother is from a wealthy family in the big city. Following her home, you won¡¯t have to worry about finding a job in the future.¡± ¡°Oh,¡± replied Chi Gui calmly. She felt neither joy nor fear about going to live with a wealthy family. Zhao Yuexiu was taken aback. She didn¡¯t give it much thought, assuming a girl who hadn¡¯t seen much of the world probably couldn¡¯t grasp what it meant to live with a rich family. ¨C Zhao Yuexiu hastily dealt with the post-burial matters and then departed with Chi Gui. Cloud Village was not close to Nancheng; it was a two-hour drive. Chi Gui sat in the back seat, head lowered, looking at her phone, quiet and aloof. A message from an unknown number came in: ¡°Professor Chi, I¡¯m the bodyguard sent by Old Sir Shen, Xing Gu. Where are you?¡± When Chi Gui left Capital City, Old Sir Shen had mentioned he would arrange protection for her. Chi Gui wasn¡¯t surprised and tapped her slender, pretty fingers on the keyboard: ¡°I have already left Cloud Village. Please take the two suitcases in my grandmother¡¯s room and come to Nancheng.¡± The reply was respectfully prompt: ¡°Understood.¡± The car was unnervingly quiet, and Zhao Yuexiu wanted to remind Chi Gui of the Chi Family¡¯s rules, but as she turned her head, she saw her daughter focused intently on her phone, seemingly chatting with someone. Zhao Yuexiu frowned involuntarily, ¡°Chi Gui, don¡¯t take offense at the harsh words I¡¯m about to say. But from today on, you are a young lady of the Chi Family, and your every action is tied to the family¡¯s reputation. If you fail to uphold it, not only will your father and I be ridiculed, but your sister and brother¡¯s reputations will also be affected.¡± Chi Gui looked up from her phone, puzzled. Zhao Yuexiu grew more annoyed upon seeing her reaction. Raised in a rural environment, she didn¡¯t understand any manners, not even grasping such a simple concept. She explained impatiently, ¡°So, all those messy people you knew from your jobs, you¡¯re to cut ties with all of them! Stop contacting them, understand?¡± Chi Gui realized she was referring to the chatting she was just doing, frowned slightly but still responded politely and patiently, ¡°My friends are accomplished elites in their respective fields, not ¡®messy people.¡¯ My interaction with them is sincere, and I will not cut ties.¡± Zhao Yuexiu snorted disdainfully. A literate who hadn¡¯t even finished high school? What kind of good people could she know? Elites? Does she even know what ¡®elites¡¯ mean? Zhao Yuexiu couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay any more attention to Chi Gui and turned her gaze out of the window. If she really didn¡¯t know any better, she could just casually find a school abroad for her and send her out of the country! After two hours of driving, they finally arrived at the Chi Family villa. Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Chapter 2 What Does What She Says Have to Do With Me Chapter 2: Chapter 2 What Does What She Says Have to Do With Me Zhao Yuexiu quickly got out of the car, hurriedly walking inside. Chi Gui followed behind Zhao Yuexiu, carrying a black backpack and entering the villa¡¯s gate. The Chi Family¡¯s decor leaned towards a European style, exuding an air of lavish luxury everywhere. Chi Gui did not glance sideways, showing no interest in these things. Upon entering the living room, the maid Sister Zhang approached, ¡°Madam, you¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Uh-huh,¡± Zhao Yuexiu, anxious, headed upstairs, ¡°How long has Ming Kun¡¯s birthday banquet been going on?¡± ¡°It just started half an hour ago; sir and Miss Chi Yan are both here,¡± Sister Zhang respectfully said. Zhao Yuexiu slightly relieved, said, ¡°That¡¯s good. As the mother, what would people think of him if I were late to Ming Kun¡¯s birthday banquet?¡± Chi Gui slightly tilted her head. She had heard her grandmother speak of Chi Mingkun. After sending her back to the rural area, Zhao Yuexiu gave birth to twins, a son Chi Mingkun and a daughter Chi Yan, which together meant ¡°good,¡± symbolizing fulfillment. Chi Mingkun was indeed the pride of the entire family, described as ¡°too precious to drop when held in the hand, too cherished to dissolve when kept in the mouth¡±. ¡°By the way, Sister Zhang, take her to the room,¡± Zhao Yuexiu ordered without even glancing at Chi Gui, ¡°Chi Gui, you stay in your room, don¡¯t wander around, understand?¡± Before her voice fell, she had disappeared into a room on the second floor. She feared being late would subject her younger son to gossip, but she never considered whether her eldest daughter, newly arrived, would feel uncomfortable. Moreover, she had not thought to bring Chi Gui to the family birthday party at all. Chi Gui smiled faintly, her eyes, like glazed glass, emotionlessly looked at Sister Zhang, ¡°Where is my room?¡± Sister Zhang was slightly startled. She had expected this girl, just arrived from the rural area, to be hesitant, nervous¡­ perhaps even upset by Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s behavior. But unexpectedly, she was calm and somewhat indifferent. Thinking why this young miss had grown up in the rural area, Sister Zhang felt a pang of sadness, her voice softened a bit, ¡°Please follow me.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Chi Gui politely responded. The room on the third floor was a guest room, very simply decorated. The Chi Family welcomed Chi Gui¡¯s arrival with no fanfare, naturally not bothering to prepare her room elaborately. Chi Gui didn¡¯t mind; she set down her backpack, turned to Sister Zhang with a smile, ¡°Thank you for showing me the way, I¡¯d like to rest for a while.¡± Sister Zhang was swayed by her smile. The girl appeared cool and distant, her pretty delicate face always emanating aloofness, but with that smile, her eyes unfolded like ink in a Chinese painting, unexpectedly warm. ¡°Okay, okay¡­¡± Sister Zhang also had a granddaughter studying in another city, whom she rarely saw; at this moment, her heart felt, somehow, full, ¡°I¡¯m just downstairs. If you need anything, just call me, don¡¯t be shy.¡± ¡°All right,¡± Chi Gui watched Sister Zhang leave, then closed the door. She took a shower, changed into loose, comfortable leisure clothes, and opened the door again to head outside. Zhao Yuexiu had already left; she was terrified that being even a minute late would expose her darling son to ridicule. Just as Chi Gui reached the door, a maid¡¯s voice came from behind, ¡°Miss Chi, madam said you mustn¡¯t go out!¡± Chi Gui turned around, her black eyes puzzled, ¡°So?¡± The maid was taken aback, ¡°Just that madam said¡­¡± Chi Gui calmly interrupted the maid¡¯s words, ¡°Whatever she said, how does it relate to me?¡± Maid: ?? Chi Gui calmly explained, ¡°Look, no matter what she said, I never agreed to it, so our agreement doesn¡¯t stand. Since it doesn¡¯t stand, why should I adhere to the conditions she proposed?¡± Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Cant Take Action, Its a Bit Troublesome Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Can¡¯t Take Action, It¡¯s a Bit Troublesome The servant felt a bit dizzy and subconsciously answered, ¡°It seems¡­ not necessary?¡± Chi Gui smiled, ¡°Thank you for understanding.¡± After saying that, she put her hands in her pockets and walked straight out of the villa¡¯s main gate. The servant watched Chi Gui leave, confused: Wasn¡¯t there something wrong? Chi Gui had just left the villa and turned a corner when several men with yellow hair suddenly surrounded her. Chi Gui: ? The leader of the men grinned wickedly, ¡°So you are the eldest daughter that the Chi family has just acknowledged?¡± Chi Gui tilted her head slightly; with just that one sentence, she guessed the whole process. She looked calmly at the men surrounding her, her almond-shaped eyes dark and cool, ¡°Trying to intimidate me? Is it Chi Yan or Chi Ming Kun? ¡­It can¡¯t be Chi Ming Kun; he is the darling treasure of the family, my return wouldn¡¯t threaten his position. So, it must be Chi Yan.¡± Chi Gui leaned back slightly and casually against the wall, ¡°Go on, what did she tell you to do to me?¡± The yellow-haired man was taken aback, his eyes widening in disbelief. What the hell? He had only said one sentence! How could she guess all of this? Indeed, he was hired by Chi Yan and had been waiting for a long time just to block Chi Gui. In a normal scenario, shouldn¡¯t a little girl from the rural areas be scared out of her wits, sobbing, and completely obedient, never daring to provoke Chi Yan again? Why was she instead calmly deducing, and more terrifyingly, in less than a second, had deduced everything correctly! However, he definitely couldn¡¯t admit to it! ¡°I have no idea what you¡¯re talking about!¡± the yellow-haired man sneered coldly, ¡°We just thought you were pretty and wanted to have some fun with you¡­¡± With that said, the others also started to laugh. The yellow-haired man slowly reached out his hand, trying to touch Chi Gui¡¯s face, ¡°I advise you to behave yourself. Such a pretty little face, it would be a shame if it got cut¡­¡± Chi Gui sighed, ¡°Ah, this is so clich¨¦d.¡± Yellow hair: ? As he was puzzled, he saw Chi Gui frown slightly with annoyance, ¡°I can¡¯t use my hands; it¡¯s a bit troublesome¡­¡± Hearing this, the yellow-haired man thought she was scared and chuckled, ¡°As long as you behave, I won¡¯t have to use my hands¡­¡± Before he could finish his sentence, he only felt a black shadow flicker in front of him, and the next moment, his nose was in severe pain. He touched his nose and his hand came away covered in fresh blood. When he looked up again, he saw Chi Gui slowly withdrawing her leg, her delicate face calm, ¡°You all come at me at once; I¡¯m in a hurry.¡± Fuck!! Who are they underestimating? They were, after all, five or six grown men!! The yellow-haired men felt offended and charged at her with a roar. One minute later. Chi Gui looked down at the people groaning on the ground, her brows furrowing slightly with dissatisfaction, ¡°I knew I shouldn¡¯t get physical; it¡¯s such a hassle.¡± Yellow hair: ¡­ She had taken care of them all with just her legs! Are rural people this scary nowadays? ¡°Are you leaving on your own, or shall I send you off?¡± Chi Gui asked calmly. Upon hearing this, the yellow-haired men didn¡¯t even care about the pain anymore; they sprang up from the ground and fled as fast as they could. Chi Gui: ¡­ She didn¡¯t take this little incident to heart, her hands in her pockets as she strolled leisurely to the side of the road. Meanwhile, in a black, understated Maybach car across the street, sat two people. Qin Cheng, in the driver¡¯s seat, had witnessed the entire fight and whistled, ¡°Efficient and clean, good moves. She¡¯s got skill!¡± The man in the backseat leaned casually against the seatback, his sleeves rolled up to show his lean and pale forearms. Slim fingers held a cigarette, and a faint trail of smoke rose, shrouding his deep-sea-like, mysterious, and dangerous eyes. Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Heart-Stabbing Moment Right After Debut Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Heart-Stabbing Moment Right After Debut He stared at the retreating Chi Gui and chuckled softly, ¡°Quite interesting.¡± His voice was low and magnificent, seemingly indifferent yet lazy, and dangerously captivating. Even Qin Cheng, a man himself, felt his ears couldn¡¯t quite handle it. Qin Cheng touched his ears and said, ¡°It really is interesting. I didn¡¯t expect Nancheng to have such a stunning beauty.¡± No sooner had he finished speaking, he saw the man lazily sit up from his seat, his slender jade-like fingers snuffing out the cigarette in the car¡¯s ashtray. Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating the man¡¯s exceedingly handsome features. Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, it softened his sharp phoenix eyes, making him appear more refined and elegant. The man¡¯s well-defined fingers pushed up his glasses and said to Qin Cheng, ¡°Get out.¡± Qin Cheng hadn¡¯t recovered yet, ¡°Get out for what?¡± The man¡¯s phoenix eyes slightly lifted, he opened the car door, and with two long, straight legs stepped out, his smile carrying a seductive lilt, ¡°You¡¯re in the way.¡± Qin Cheng: ?? Before he could grasp the meaning of those words, an impatient Fu Si had yanked him out of the driver¡¯s seat. Fu Si slipped into the driver¡¯s seat, closed the door, started the car, and with a beautiful turn, the car headed toward Chi Gui across the street. Qin Cheng was completely dumbfounded: ¡­ Although people who knew Mr. Fu couldn¡¯t help but mutter ¡®a refined scum¡¯ in their hearts. Looking calm and polite yet being dark-hearted and immensely cunning! But all these years, Mr. Fu hadn¡¯t shown particular interest in any lady, nor had he specially taken care of any! So why the sudden proactivity upon arriving in Nancheng?!! ¨C Just as Chi Gui was about to hail a taxi, a black car stopped in front of her. The window lowered to reveal the excessively handsome face of Fu Si. He slightly turned, his hand resting on the steering wheel, slender like jade, his white shirt immaculate, the whole person emitting an air of an aristocratic young master, ¡°Miss, where to?¡± Chi Gui seriously looked at him, then tilted her head slightly, and said softly, ¡°Qinfang Garden.¡± Fu Si chuckled lightly, the phoenix eyes behind the glasses veiled but luminescent, his low, lazy voice irresistible, ¡°What a coincidence, I¡¯m headed there too. May I give you a ride?¡± Chi Gui: ¡°Sure, how much is the fare?¡± Fu Si: ? Chi Gui¡¯s response was a bit beyond his expectations. Fu Si slightly raised his eyebrows, staring at Chi Gui, and after a while, he finally confirmed that she wasn¡¯t playing hard to get, but was very seriously discussing the fare with him! He lightly tapped his handsome fingers on the steering wheel, considering, then quoted a supposedly cheap price, ¡°Twenty yuan.¡± Chi Gui immediately stepped aside, ¡°That¡¯s too expensive.¡± Clearly, she was no longer planning to talk to him. Fu Si was momentarily stunned, then laughed. Countless people, throwing fortunes, struggled to ride in the same car as him without success. Now, him offering to drive someone, he was instead being snubbed. Fu Si leaned to the side, resting on the steering wheel, looking at her playfully, ¡°Then how much do you say?¡± He wanted to see how much he was worth in her eyes. Chi Gui looked at him earnestly, ¡°Five yuan, take it or leave it?¡± Fu Si: ¡­ Unexpectedly, it stung a little. He didn¡¯t care about the money. But he hadn¡¯t expected that his face, chased fervently by countless ladies in Capital City, was only worth five yuan in her eyes. Encountering a first-time defeat in his life, Fu Si found it quite interesting, reaching over to open the passenger door, ¡°Okay.¡± As soon as the word left his mouth, he saw Chi Gui wince as if she had suffered a great loss. Then, he heard Chi Gui hesitantly say, ¡°Or how about¡­ three yuan?¡± Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Obedient and Fierce, Quiet and Ruthless Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Obedient and Fierce, Quiet and Ruthless As the saying goes, don¡¯t be afraid of bargaining too harshly; be afraid that after you finish, the boss might hesitate and then agree! That means you definitely got a bad deal! Fu Si: ¡­ Qin Cheng, eavesdropping nearby: ¡­ If Qin Cheng wasn¡¯t desperately pinching his thigh, he would have burst out laughing! Oh my! Who would have thought that Mr. Fu, in his first attempt to flirt with a girl in his life, would end up bargaining with her over cab fare! If this were shared in their group chat, everyone else¡¯s eyes would pop out! ¨C Chi Gui got into the passenger seat, bowed her head, and obediently buckled her seat belt. Fu Si held the steering wheel with one hand, turned his body, and unabashedly examined the girl in front of him. Her fingers were pale and slender, beautiful. Her eyes slightly drooped, long and curled eyelashes casting a shadow underneath. Her nose was small and perky, her lips pink, her skin as tender as a freshly peeled egg. Seeing her gentle and quiet, it was hard to imagine she had just kicked and broken a man¡¯s hand bones. Even harder to imagine was that she, like an old lady in the market, had haggled over a few yuan for a long time. Both docile and fierce, both calm and ruthless, contradictory yet interesting. Feeling Fu Si¡¯s gaze, Chi Gui looked up with some confusion. Their eyes met. A light passed through Fu Sifeng¡¯s eyes, and with a deep, pleasant voice laced with a smile, he spoke, ¡°Actually, if you are willing to be friends with me, I can waive the cab fare for you.¡± Chi Gui, looking baffled, said, ¡°Why go through all that trouble for something that can be solved with three yuan?¡± Fu Si: ¡­ Three¡­ Trouble¡­ Chi Gui: ¡°Can you hurry up? I¡¯m in a rush.¡± This was outright disdain¡­ Fu Si chuckled lightly, said nothing more, gracefully turned the steering wheel, and headed towards Qinfang Garden. Qinfang Garden was an older compound, each building only five stories tall, without elevators. Chi Gui got out of the car at the entrance and handed three yuan to Fu Si. Fu Si took it, glanced at the three one-yuan bills, a playful look crossing his handsome face: ¡°We¡¯ve shared a journey together, if we can¡¯t be friends, exchanging names isn¡¯t too much, right?¡± Chi Gui turned around and left without expression. Being ignored like this didn¡¯t irritate Fu Si. He chuckled, slipped the three thin bills into the inner layer of his wallet, lit a cigarette with his slender fingers, rolled down the car window, his arm resting casually on the sill, his eyes under the glasses sharp and dark, watching Chi Gui¡¯s retreating figure. Unknowingly, a crowd had gathered around, all sneakily observing Fu Si. Nothing much, it¡¯s just that Fu Si¡¯s face was truly breathtaking; not just here where they rarely see such a sight but even compared to everyday TV celebrities, none could match him. Fu Si didn¡¯t pay attention to the gazes around him, watched the girl¡¯s slender figure disappear into the staircase, his thin lips curved slightly, his long fingers extinguished the cigarette, turned the steering wheel, and drove away from the area. ¨C The neighborhood was old, the stairwell dim, each floor had two households, one on each side. Chi Gui reached the fifth floor, took out a slightly worn key from her pocket, and opened the door on the right. As the door opened, the view inside the room also unfolded before Chi Gui¡¯s eyes. The apartment was small, only eighty square meters, one bedroom and one living room, but quite suitable for one person. It had just been unoccupied for a long time, empty, with a thick layer of dust on the floor and walls. Chi Gui choked on the dust at the entrance and coughed twice, stepping back out. Before her grandmother passed away, she had handed her the keys, saying this was her legacy left to her. Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Chapter 6 This is a National Treasure Chapter 6: Chapter 6 This is a National Treasure The elder struggled to articulate certain concerns, but Chi Gui understood that Grandma was worried about her comfort living with the Chi Family and wanted her to know she could move out anytime she wished. She actually didn¡¯t need it and hadn¡¯t even planned to return to the Chi Family. But as Grandma lay dying, she clung to her hand, her consciousness fading as she murmured, ¡°Chi Gui, your mom has come¡­ you can go home now¡­¡± Old Lady¡¯s greatest wish in life was for her to return to the Chi Family, to be like the other children, treasured and embraced by the love and affection of parents. It was precisely because of this that Chi Gui didn¡¯t refuse when Zhao Yuexiu suggested taking her back to the Chi Family. However, now it seemed¡­ Suddenly, the ringing of a mobile phone interrupted Chi Gui¡¯s ruminations. She slowly came back to her senses and barely answered the call when an incredibly aggrieved voice came through, ¡°Boss, why did you go to Nancheng?¡± ¡°I felt like going,¡± Chi Gui leaned against the wall by the door, her answer plain and unadorned. These personal matters, she didn¡¯t wish to discuss with too many people. The voice on the other end instantly sounded even more aggrieved, ¡°Don¡¯t you miss your adorable collaborator at all?! I¡¯ve specially bought a luxurious big villa by the sea in Hai Dou to make your recovery life comfortable and healthy! I¡¯ve even hired more than a dozen servants! Are you heartlessly abandoning me just like that, won¡¯t your conscience hurt?¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ She looked at a few people coming upstairs, ¡°We¡¯ll chat when there¡¯s time.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve only exchanged a sentence!! This is not just heartless anymore, hey!¡± the other side incredulously, ¡°You¡¯re on vacation now, how can you be so busy that yo¡­¡± Chi Gui decisively pressed the end call button. At the same time, a dozen men, dressed in black shirts and pants, tall and lean with extraordinary demeanors, walked up. The man leading came before Chi Gui and bowed with respect, ¡°Miss Chi, apologies, we were a step late. By the time we got to Cloud Village, you had already been taken away.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Chi Gui looked at these people with a hint of helplessness, ¡°Old Shen is being too ceremonious¡­¡± A couple of bodyguards would have sufficed; such a grand procession was too conspicuous. ¡°You are Old Shen¡¯s personally chosen successor; this is all necessary,¡± the leading man said earnestly. ¡°I am Xing Gu, from now on, anything you need, just command.¡± With that, he introduced each of the men behind him to Chi Gui. They were all former special forces, who had really been on the battlefield and seen blood. Although Old Shen had intentionally chosen a few with kind and friendly appearances, the aura of having rolled through death couldn¡¯t be concealed. After the introductions, Xing Gu said, ¡°Rest assured, we will arrange things well and will not cause any inconvenience in your daily life.¡± Chi Gui nodded, ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Two others stepped forward, handing her two suitcases, ¡°Here is the luggage you asked us to bring, if there¡¯s anything missing, we can go back to fetch it.¡± ¡°No need, these two are everything.¡± Chi Gui placed the suitcases beside the wall, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s what I should do,¡± the person replied, clearly flattered. When he had heard that the mission was to protect a medical professor whom even the state valued, he had felt a bit nervous. He hadn¡¯t expected the other person to be so approachable¡­ albeit a bit reserved in speech. But well, that¡¯s normal for a big shot. Subsequently, Xing Gu led his team of bodyguards to start cleaning the house. Chi Gui also wanted to join in but was sternly stopped by Xing Gu as soon as she picked up a dust cloth. These hands were national treasures, the future hope for the world¡¯s medical field in the branch of neurosurgery¡ªthey could not afford to receive even the slightest injury! Furthermore, her hands had just sustained injury¡­ Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Gave Three Pieces, Then It Ended Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Gave Three Pieces, Then It Ended ¡°Miss Chi, did you take a taxi here?¡± Out of fear that Chi Gui might be bored, Xing Gu took the initiative to start a conversation. Chi Gui sat on a chair that Xing Gu had casually bought while purchasing cleaning supplies: ¡°Sort of¡­ I hitched a ride here.¡± Xing Gu suddenly became solemn: ¡°It¡¯s too dangerous for you to take rides from strangers¡­¡± Chi Gui: ¡°Ah¡­ It wasn¡¯t a stranger, it was Fu Si.¡± Hearing that name, both Xing Gu and the others were startled: ¡°Mr. Fu is also in Nancheng?¡± In Capital City, Fu Si was definitely someone everyone feared. Not to mention the Fu Family being the top family in Capital City, with profound heritage and a vast and intricate power network that no one dares to offend. Just talking about Fu Si, even though he looks refined, handsome, and gentle as jade, he has a heart that¡¯s pitch-black. His tactics and boldness even surpass Old Sir Fu¡¯s. Those who have offended him have never appeared in Capital City again. And this, almost officially chosen head of the Fu Family, why does he take the initiative to contact Miss Chi? What is his purpose? Several possibilities flashed through Xing Gu¡¯s mind as he asked in a deep voice: ¡°Do you want me to check on him?¡± Even though with his capabilities, he couldn¡¯t really find out anything about Fu Si, but concerning Miss Chi, if he reports to Old Shen¡­ While he was pondering, he heard Chi Gui nonchalantly say: ¡°No need. If he really wanted to do something to me, he wouldn¡¯t have to pretend to be a hitchhiking driver.¡± Xing Gu thought she made a good point but still felt uneasy: ¡°Then did he¡­ recognize you?¡± Chi Gui touched her chin, pondering: ¡°Probably not.¡± She had heard about Fu Si¡¯s assessment of her. If he had recognized her, he definitely wouldn¡¯t have struck up a conversation. Chi Gui finished speaking, and remembering Fu Si¡¯s previous behaviors, added: ¡°This time, he probably just took an interest based on my looks.¡± During her time in Capital City, she was devoted to research and medicine, only knowing Fu Si from the occasional mentions in colleague¡¯s conversations. ¡°Pretentious scum¡± and ¡°flirtatious¡± were the descriptions she heard most. It¡¯s very normal for such a person to behave impulsively upon seeing someone they find attractive. Chi Gui spoke lightly, but it caused shock and alarm in the hearts of Xing Gu and the others. Mr. Fu driven by lust?? And even going so far as to disguise himself as a driver to hit on someone?? Were they still talking about the same person? ¡°Then¡­ what happened between you and him¡­?¡± Xing Gu¡¯s question came out with a bit of a stammer. Chi Gui was still very calm: ¡°I gave him three yuan, and then our little collaboration ended.¡± The bodyguards: ?? ¨C Fu Si drove back to the villa. As soon as he set down the car keys, his phone started to ring. He walked into the house lazily and casually took out his phone to look. It was a call from Fu Zhen Ting. Fu Zhen Ting, Fu Si¡¯s father, didn¡¯t hold a very high position in the Fu Family. Mainly because he was obsessed with pottery and spent days in a vintage villa halfway up a mountain with Fu Si¡¯s mother, playing with clay¡ªcompletely detached from worldly matters, with no desires or wants. Naturally, his temperament was top-notch, and it was rare to see him angry or unhappy. Now facing his son, his tone was as easygoing as ever: ¡°I heard Professor Chi is also in Nancheng, you¡¯re there as well, find time to pay her a visit, all right?¡± ¡°No interest,¡± Fu Si responded lazily, walking into the house. Fu Zhen Ting: ¡°Do you know how in demand someone as outstanding as Professor Chi is? The Shen Family and the Han Family are already trying to recruit her, especially the Han Family¡¯s eldest son¡­¡± Fu Si, with his long fingers, took off his glasses, interrupting: ¡°So what?¡± Fu Zhen Ting felt his son was missing out on a good opportunity: ¡°With Professor Chi¡¯s abilities, she will sooner or later be promoted to Academician¡­ even a rare national talent in neurosurgery! If she could become part of our family, that would be a great honor for the Fu Family! What exactly do you find unsatisfactory about her?¡± Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Chapter 8 You Cant Go Down the Wrong Path Chapter 8: Chapter 8 You Can¡¯t Go Down the Wrong Path Fu Si methodically cleaned his glasses, his voice lazy and a bit wicked, ¡°Women who bury themselves in their work every day are so dull, utterly devoid of charm. Wouldn¡¯t being with her bore you to death?¡± ¡°Her, boring?¡± Fu Zhen Ting couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°Then tell me, what kind of woman isn¡¯t boring?¡± Fu Si¡¯s fingers paused on his glasses as he recalled the image of a girl fighting¡ªher face calm, looking obedient and clever, yet striking fiercely. He chuckled lightly, ¡°The ones who are good at fighting.¡± ¡°Fighting¡­¡± Fu Zhen Ting almost ran out of breath, and he advised earnestly, ¡°Fu Si, what happened to you in Nancheng? You¡¯re the future head of the Fu Family. You can¡¯t afford to go astray¡­¡± Could a woman good at fighting ever be presentable? If such a woman were to enter their doors, wouldn¡¯t the Fu Family become the laughingstock of Capital City¡¯s elite circles? Fu Si put on his glasses and spoke indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m hanging up now.¡± With that, he hung up the phone. Qin Cheng had been shrinking to the side. Seeing that Fu Si had hung up, he quickly approached, ¡°Mr. Fu, I¡¯ve dug up some information about that girl! She was just acknowledged today by the Chi Family as their daughter, named Chi Gui.¡± ¡°Chi Gui?¡± Fu Si¡¯s eyebrows rose slightly, surprised by the name. Named the same as Professor Chi¡­ Qin Cheng nodded, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the same as Professor Chi¡¯s name, but it must just be a coincidence. Otherwise, why wouldn¡¯t the Chi Family flaunt such an honor at their young son¡¯s birthday banquet?¡± He touched his chin, feeling like a detective, ¡°According to my investigation, Chi Gui grew up in the countryside with her grandmother because her parents weren¡¯t around, and she was often bullied and ostracized¡­ This is probably why she¡¯s so skilled physically. And these past few years, she has been working out of town until just recently returning.¡± Pictures of Chi Gui had never been published online; only those key leaders in Capital City, the three major families, and those treated by her knew what she looked like. Qin Cheng¡¯s family wasn¡¯t privileged enough to meet Chi Gui. While Fu Si could have met her, he had absolutely no interest. Neither of them linked such a formidable fighter to the rigid and serious medical professor. Lazily sitting on the couch with his legs casually crossed, Fu Si chuckled, ¡°Didn¡¯t the old man want me to bring Chi Gui back home? I¡¯ve done just as he wished; he should be happy.¡± Qin Cheng¡­ Could it be that Old Sir Fu was furious enough to have a brain hemorrhage? ¨C Grandma¡¯s house couldn¡¯t be cleaned up in just one afternoon. As evening approached, Chi Gui¡¯s phone rang. She glanced at it¡ªit was Zhao Yuexiu calling. Chi Gui answered the phone. ¡°Chi Gui! What were you thinking? Didn¡¯t I tell you to stay at home and not go out?¡± Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s angry voice immediately came through, ¡°Come back home right now! Do you hear me?¡± Chi Gui hung up directly. Her phone rang instantly again. She added the number to the blacklist. ¡°I need to go back,¡± Chi Gui said as she stood up from the chair. She had to meet other members of the Chi Family. Fortunately, they knew why Chi Gui had come to Nancheng and immediately guessed that the call must have been from the Chi Family. Since it was Professor Chi¡¯s family matter, they refrained from intervening without her asking. Fortune handed the rag to a bodyguard next to him, ¡°I¡¯ll take you back.¡± ¡°Mhm.¡± Chi Gui did not refuse. Their Mercedes was parked downstairs. In such an old residential area, even seeing a car worth a few hundred thousand was rare, let alone a Mercedes worth over a million, which was very eye-catching. As soon as Chi Gui stepped out, all the residents in the yard immediately turned their gazes toward her. Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Chapter 9 How Does She Know Such a Person? Chapter 9: Chapter 9 How Does She Know Such a Person? Chi Gui furrowed her brows slightly, ¡°Get a more low-profile car.¡± ¡°Understood. Today¡¯s visit was in haste, quite a few matters didn¡¯t get tended to in time,¡± Xing Gu respectfully opened the rear car door for Chi Gui and waited for her to sit down before he circled back to the driver¡¯s seat and started the car. ¨C Chi Changjing sat in the back of the car, holding his phone, his brow lightly furrowed as he answered a call while looking at the financial report in his hand. He was around fifty, a bit overweight, his face was marked with the ravages of time, but it wasn¡¯t hard to discern that he had been quite the handsome man in his youth. On the phone, Zhao Yuexiu was complaining to him, ¡°Those wild kids from the rural areas are just impossible to discipline! I instructed her countless times before I left, telling her she absolutely must not leave the Chi Family residence! And look at her¡ªno sooner than I¡¯d left, she¡¯s gone off who knows where! It¡¯s getting dark and she¡¯s still not considering coming back!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take a look when I get back, if she¡¯s too much trouble, just send her abroad to fend for herself,¡± Chi Changjing said with a hint of impatience. There were some issues at the company, not big, but hard to solve, with potential risks, and he was currently at his wits¡¯ end, completely disinclined to deal with that child who had long been abandoned. As he was speaking, the driver suddenly stopped the car. ¡°What happened?¡± Chi Changjing frowned and looked forward, and in an instant, he was stunned. In front of the Chi Family¡¯s villa gate, there was a black Mercedes parked. The night was dim, and he couldn¡¯t see clearly, but having come from a wealthy family, he was familiar with luxury cars. Chi Changjing recognized at a glance that the Mercedes was worth at least 1.5 million RMB. In a city like Nancheng, which wasn¡¯t very large, there were surely people who could afford a Mercedes worth over 1.5 million, but they definitely had status and position. Chi Changjing felt a sudden twinge in his heart and quickly pushed open the door and got out. No sooner had he stepped out than he saw the Mercedes driver also quickly exiting the car, respectfully opening the rear door. Then, a young girl wearing loose casual clothes stepped out. In the night, her skin was so pale it seemed to glow, her black hair was simply tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, revealing a pretty and delicate face. Her deep, ink-washed eyes, reflecting the villa¡¯s front lights, shone like lustrous, beautiful glass. Her demeanor was calm and indifferent, as if she was quite accustomed to being served like this. Seeing the girl¡¯s appearance, Chi Changjing was even more surprised, and with some hesitation, he called out, ¡°Chi Gui?¡± Chi Gui stepped out of the car, thanked Xing Gu, and was about to enter the house when she heard someone call her. She turned her beautiful eyes towards the source of the voice and saw a somewhat overweight man with a buildup of flesh on his face, but his features bore some resemblance to hers, standing there. Chi Gui frowned slightly, instantly guessing, ¡°Chi Changjing?¡± Chi Changjing¡¯s face darkened slightly, displeased with his daughter¡¯s lack of a respectful form of address. But he was more surprised than anything else. He had not expected that this daughter, whom Zhao Yuexiu had deemed as worthless, would grow up to be so beautiful. Without considering anything else, just by letting her attend any university and get a diploma, there would be no problem arranging a decent match for the Chi Family. And more so¡­ Chi Changjing looked at Xing Gu with some puzzlement beside Chi Gui. The man had sharp features, tall and robust, and his aura was clearly not that of an ordinary person. Chi Gui was just a girl who grew up in the rural areas, how could she have come to know such a person? Considering the man¡¯s behavior just now, Chi Changjing felt a sinking feeling and tentatively asked, ¡°And this gentleman is¡­?¡± Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: Chapter 10 The Distinct Differentiation Chapter 10: Chapter 10 The Distinct Differentiation ¡°I called for a hitchhike,¡± Chi Gui said nonchalantly before turning to Xinggu and adding, ¡°You can go first.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Xinggu replied. After speaking, he nodded to Chi Changjing and drove away. Chi Changjing was still somewhat incredulous, yet it was indeed unlikely for Chi Gui to know anyone of high status. It must have been a hitchhike, right? Nowadays, plenty of luxury cars do offer rides¡­ While Chi Changjing was still pondering over this matter, he heard the girl¡¯s indifferent voice beside him: ¡°I¡¯ll go inside first.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Chi Changjing returned to his senses, and having said only two words, he saw that the girl had already entered the villa¡¯s gate. She wasn¡¯t asking for his opinion, but rather just notifying him. Chi Changjing furrowed his brows slightly but thought better of saying anything, considering that Chi Gui had just come from the rural area, and he followed her inside. As soon as Chi Gui entered the hall, Zhao Yuexiu rushed over, scolding angrily: ¡°You¡­¡± Chi Changjing, who walked in after, interrupted her sternly: ¡°That¡¯s enough, it¡¯s good that the child has returned. Call Ming Kun and Yanyan down for dinner.¡± He was a successful businessman. Although he didn¡¯t understand what was going on tonight, he had seen tremendous business value in Chi Gui. Naturally, his attitude changed accordingly. Zhao Yuexiu wouldn¡¯t dare retort against Chi Changjing and, upon hearing his words, could only go upstairs to call for Chi Mingkun and Chi Yan. Soon, two figures appeared from the second floor. Chi Mingkun was wearing loose pajamas, tall and lanky with a youthful handsomeness and unruliness about him, definitely the most attractive guy in school. He couldn¡¯t stop yawning and complained, ¡°I had too much to drink at my birthday party today, and I¡¯m supposed to sleep until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Mom, why did you have to wake me up for dinner?¡± Dressed in a red dress, Chi Yan was bright and picturesque, her round almond eyes somewhat similar to Chi Gui¡¯s, giving her an added gentleness in her appearance. At his words, she smiled and said, ¡°Come on, brother, it¡¯s not good to sleep on an empty stomach, Mom is looking out for you. Right, Mom?¡± ¡°You¡¯re so considerate, my daughter,¡± Zhao Yuexiu softened her voice when addressing her two treasures, ¡°Alright, come down and eat your meal. Then you can sleep however you like.¡± The three of them walked to the dining table as they spoke. Chi Yan glanced unnoticeably at Chi Gui, who was sitting not far away, then affectionately wrapped her arms around Chi Changjing¡¯s arm and cooed, ¡°Dad, I got third place in the piano competition yesterday! It¡¯s a shame you couldn¡¯t come to see me; I really wanted to play that piece for you!¡± Hearing his daughter¡¯s words, Chi Changjing couldn¡¯t help but smile, ¡°Sorry, sorry, I was too busy yesterday. What do you want as compensation?¡± He genuinely adored and was proud of his daughter, who had always been outstanding and sensible since childhood. Chi Mingkun, with sleepy eyes, approached his usual seat, only to notice that next to his previously empty spot was a girl sitting quietly. From his angle, he could only see her smooth and shiny black hair and a pretty side profile with long eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes, making her look exceedingly well-behaved. Chi Mingkun was startled, then realized something and immediately said with disdain, ¡°This is the girl we¡¯ve just brought back from the village? Who allowed her to sit at the table?¡± Hearing Chi Mingkun¡¯s words, Chi Yan pretended to notice Chi Gui for the first time, exclaiming in surprise, ¡°Is this our sister? Brother, don¡¯t be like that. Since sister is here now, she¡¯s part of our family.¡± After Chi Yan said this, Chi Mingkun snorted in dissatisfaction, but didn¡¯t say anything more. He stretched his foot out to hook his chair closer to Chi Yan¡¯s, moving further away from Chi Gui. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start the meal,¡± Chi Changjing said without dwelling on the matter and spoke directly to Sister Zhang. During the meal, Chi Changjing asked Chi Gui, ¡°Chi Gui, you¡¯re 24 this year, right?¡± ¡°Mm,¡± Chi Gui affirmed. ¡°Then go enroll in the third year of university¡­¡± Chi Changjing said, ¡°In today¡¯s society, you can¡¯t do anything without an undergraduate degree. Tomorrow, I will find a school for you, go mingle for two years to get a college diploma, and then I can arrange a job for you.¡± Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Chapter 11 I Have Already Found a School Chapter 11: Chapter 11 I Have Already Found a School Before Chi Gui was brought back, Chi Changjing had thoroughly investigated her. According to the records, Chi Gui had dropped out of school during her second year of high school to work out of town and only returned to the village half a year ago. With her educational background, she couldn¡¯t enter a proper university. However, Chi Changjing didn¡¯t actually expect her to learn much. He thought about enrolling her in any university that only required money for admission, to get a degree and just introduce her to others in the future. ¡°My school is quite good,¡± Chi Yan suddenly spoke up, ¡°Why not let sister attend my school?¡± Zhao Yuexiu looked at Chi Yan with affection, ¡°Stop it, your sister can¡¯t get in.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Chi Yan asked, her eyes filled with innocent curiosity. Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s voice carried a hint of scorn, ¡°She dropped out in her second year of high school. She can¡¯t even get into an ordinary, proper university, let alone the first-rate institution that is Nancheng Medical College, where you study.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Chi Yan didn¡¯t say anything more. As she lowered her head to sip her soup, the corners of her lips curled slightly, ¡°Then Dad, you¡¯ll have to find a good school for sister¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to trouble yourself,¡± Chi Gui finished her last bite of food, pulled a napkin from the table and wiped her mouth before she spoke. Her voice was calm and indifferent, her eyes, glassy, looked at Chi Changjing, ¡°Thank you for your kindness. But I¡¯ve already found a school.¡± ¡°You¡¯ve found one? Which university?¡± Chi Changjing was surprised. Chi Gui: ¡°Nancheng Medical College.¡± She was originally involved in neurosurgical research; attending medical college was most suitable. It would allow her to recover from her injury and also help her future colleagues. ¡°Pfft!¡± Chi Yan almost spit out her porridge, her eyes wide as she looked at Chi Gui with a hint of amusement in her voice, ¡°Sister, do you even know what Nancheng Medical College is? Did you think it¡¯s very easy to get in just because you heard me mention it once?¡± Before Chi Gui could respond, Chi Mingkun spoke dismissively, ¡°Of course, that must be it! If she knew that Nancheng Medical College is a 985 institution that¡¯s only second to top domestic schools like Huaxia and Hua Zhong, how could she have the face to say such a thing?¡± Chi Changjing nodded, ¡°Chi Gui, at your age, even if you entered college, you would have to start in your third year. Aside from the fact that you have no medical experience, even if you did, there¡¯s no way Nancheng Medical College would make an exception to admit you.¡± Chi Gui couldn¡¯t be bothered to waste words with them, ¡°I¡¯ve finished eating. Thank you for the meal.¡± After saying this, she stood up and went upstairs. ¡°Look at her, just look!¡± Zhao Yuexiu looked down on her, ¡°That¡¯s just typical arrogance with no actual ability! Yanyan worked so hard, struggled so much during her entire senior year of high school, just to finally get into Nancheng Medical College. And her, not even fully completing her second year, yet dreaming of reaching the sky in a single step!¡± Chi Yan did not speak, quietly continuing to sip her soup. Chi Changjing sighed. He once thought she was obedient and compliant, but now it seemed she was nothing but a thorn in his side. ¨C The next day. In the office of the president of Nancheng Medical College. Lin Bo Tong looked at the young girl in front of him with endearment, ¡°Chi Gui, how is your hand?¡± He had heard about it as well. A distraught patient, upon realizing their condition was incurable, pulled out a knife and stabbed at Chi Gui, attempting to take her with them to death. The knife was only a centimeter away from Chi Gui¡¯s heart. If not for her quick reaction, using her hand to block, she might have been dead. Even though she blocked it, her hand was pierced, many nerves were severed, and it was severely injured. Chi Gui smiled, ¡°Grandpa Lin, thank you for your concern. Grandpa Zhou has examined me, the wound has already healed. With proper care over the next year, a full recovery shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± Before Lin Bo Tong was transferred to be the president, he was a senior member of the Expert Group at the National Medical Research Institute. When Chi Gui was admitted to the Medical Research Institute, she was just twenty years old, the youngest member of the group. Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Who is She Really? Chapter 12: Chapter 12 Who is She Really? Everyone in the group liked this girl who spoke little but was deeply committed to studying neuroscience and was keen on contributing to medicine. Lin Bo Tong was also an expert in neurosurgical diseases and had mentored Chi Guiyi for a while, always treating her like his own granddaughter. Zhou Wei was the hand surgery expert in the group, and Lin Bo Tong trusted his diagnoses. Yet, he still felt some heartache. Because of an agitated medical disruptor, Chi Guiyi, a rising star in the medical field, had almost fallen. For a surgeon who needed to operate daily, a hand wound that couldn¡¯t fully heal meant the end of a career. After all, surgery required extremely precise operations, and a slight mistake could lead to patient death. Especially for a neurosurgeon like Chi Guiyi, who performed brain operations. Lin Bo Tong looked at the girl¡¯s calm and gentle face and sighed, ¡°Do you regret it? With your intelligence, if you had chosen another profession, you could still make a lot of money and probably never face such dangers in your life.¡± Chi Guiyi looked down at her hands, her voice calm and gentle, ¡°You are right. No matter what profession I chose, I could have made more money than now and lived without any life-threatening risks.¡± She paused and looked up at Lin Bo Tong, her eyes brighter than the stars, ¡°But seeing patients get discharged and feeling the sense of achievement from creating medical miracles is something no other industry could offer me.¡± Lin Bo Tong smiled as well, ¡°Yes! There¡¯s a saying that fits well¡ªthis is the romance unique to us medical scholars that others can¡¯t experience!¡± The two chatted for a while, and finally, Lin Bo Tong remembered something important, ¡°How about being a teacher? Although you primarily study neurosurgical diseases, your knowledge in other fields is sufficient to teach the novices in school.¡± Chi Guiyi laughed, ¡°No, please just arrange a senior year class for me. I just want to rest and don¡¯t want to be ordered around.¡± This old man really showed his true nature after a few words. Back in the senior group, he often set traps for her, but now she was not so easily fooled. Lin Bo Tong puckered his lips regretfully, not looking at all like the dignified academician, ¡°Ah, it¡¯s really harder to deceive someone when they are older. Alright, for the sake of your injury, I¡¯ll let you have your way this time.¡± Lin Bo Tong made a phone call. Soon after, a middle-aged man came up with a schedule, ¡°Principal, here is the neurosurgery department senior course schedule you requested.¡± Lin Bo Tong took it and handed it to Chi Guiyi, ¡°Take a look and attend as you see fit.¡± Chi Guiyi received it with both hands, ¡°Thank you, Grandpa Lin. I¡¯ll be leaving now.¡± Lin Bo Tong waved his hand, ¡°Since we¡¯ll be at the same school, do come and see me when you¡¯re free.¡± Chi Guiyi, ¡°Okay.¡± The middle-aged man watched the scene in shock. Principal Lin had been at the school for three years, and it was the first time he saw the esteemed academician being so amiable to anyone! As Chi Guiyi closed the door and left, the middle-aged man couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Principal, this¡­¡± Lin Bo Tong smiled, ¡°Liu, don¡¯t say I don¡¯t take care of you. In your anatomy classes, ask this student more questions and let her do more hands-on¡­ ah, it¡¯s best if you don¡¯t do anything at all, just stand by and ask questions.¡± Liu Yawei was even more shocked, ¡°Principal, who exactly is she?¡± Originally, he thought the young girl was some relative of Principal Lin, but now it seemed that Principal Lin greatly trusted her capabilities, even more so than his? Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Wait for You Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Wait for You Liu Yawei was somewhat incredulous. At fifty years old, whether it was seniority or experience, he was close to reaching the National Medical Research Institute High-level Expert Group in the field of neurosurgery. How old was that young girl? Could she possibly match him? The next second, Liu Yawei heard Principal Lin say, ¡°Well, she can be considered my student. She joined the National Medical Research Institute High-level Expert Group four years ago, and I mentored her for one year.¡± Liu Yawei: ???? Lin Bo Tong picked up the tea on the desk, took a sip, and let out a comfortable sigh, ¡°You should tell the other teachers as well, just target her for questions during class. This is a great opportunity for the adorable sprouts in our school to thrive!¡± The little girl wanted to refuse him, she¡¯s still too green¡­ ¨C Fu Si stood tall and upright in the center of the store, his eyes sweeping over the medical supplies that filled the shelves. Dressed in a crisp white shirt, black suit trousers, and a black coat draped over, his tall figure was complemented by his handsome face. Beneath the gold-framed glasses, his phoenix-like eyes, as if outlined with ink, appeared gentle yet held a sharp edge. Qin Cheng stood aside, observing the man next to him and couldn¡¯t help but click his tongue. Favored by the heavens indeed ¨C just look, a shop that couldn¡¯t be more ordinary was instantly elevated to a whole new level of class by this man¡¯s mere presence. He could already foresee how popular this store would become, all thanks to Fu Si. ¡°Mr. Fu, are you satisfied?¡± Qin Cheng ingratiatingly fished for praise, ¡°I¡¯ve selected this shop after a lot of consideration, it¡¯s right next to the Nancheng Medical College¡¯s main gate, perfectly situated according to people¡¯s first-choice habits¡­ Miss Chi either won¡¯t shop at all, or she¡¯ll definitely enter this store first!¡± Fu Si¡¯s beautiful phoenix eyes surveyed the store¡¯s shelves, ¡°Are these the best brands?¡± He wasn¡¯t interested in these, but since they were for Chi Gui¡¯s future use, they had to be the best. ¡°Of course!¡± Qin Cheng nodded, ¡°I¡¯ve specifically confirmed it with medical experts from Capital City!¡± This could be for the future sister-in-law, how could he dare to be careless? Only then did Fu Si nod in satisfaction. Thinking of the girl¡¯s haggling spirit, clearly a little miser, his long, handsome fingers tapped the table, ¡°Go and promote to the students, everything in our store starts at a 90% discount, and with a coupon, it¡¯s at 95% off.¡± ¡°Should I spread the word to the entire school?¡± Qin Cheng had yet to catch on. Fu Si gave him a cool glance with his good-looking phoenix eyes, ¡°What do you think?¡± Qin Cheng immediately made an OK gesture, ¡°I get it, I get it.¡± ¨C After Chi Gui finished her enrollment procedures and picked up the necessary textbooks and other materials, she was just about to leave the school when her phone suddenly chimed with a text message alert. Pulling it out, she saw an advertisement for a discount, the active store being the one at the school gate, with a flamboyant and suggestive name, ¡°Wait for You¡±. The discount was extremely generous, even thoughtfully including a coupon for her. It was as if they were fearful of making a profit. Chi Gui felt that the store owner didn¡¯t seem very smart. However, she had chosen the neurosurgery department, and with anatomy class in her third year, she needed to prepare her own surgical knife. With that in mind, Chi Gui left the school gate and turned towards the medical supply store named ¡°Wait for You¡±. ¨C Inside the store. Qin Cheng sat on a chair by the door, his legs casually crossed, eyes fixed unwaveringly outside, feeling a little uneasy. ¡°Mr. Fu, isn¡¯t this promotion a bit too good to be true? What if Miss Chi just deletes it as junk mail?¡± The discount was practically like giving it away for free; even the store across the way that shouted ¡°The boss has run off, closing down tomorrow, liquidation sale today¡± wasn¡¯t this outrageous. Fu Si lounged lazily behind the counter, his long, attractive fingers tapping on his phone, and without even lifting his eyelids in response, he said, ¡°She will definitely come.¡± Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Chapter 14: It Will Scare You to Death Chapter 14: Chapter 14: It Will Scare You to Death Qin Cheng was baffled by Fu Si¡¯s confidence, ¡°Mr. Fu, you¡¯ve only met her once, right¡­?¡± Even a genius bordering on abnormal couldn¡¯t fully understand someone after just one meeting, could they? However, before he could finish speaking, a delicate and aloof figure walked in from outside the door. Qin Cheng¡¯s eyes instantly widened in shock. No way, she actually came? As soon as Chi Gui entered, she saw a handsome guy standing at the door, staring at her with an expression as if he¡¯d seen a ghost. Chi Gui: ? She then spotted Fu Si sitting behind the counter. The man held a mobile phone in one hand; his fingers were long and his knuckles distinct, quite attractive. His features were exquisite and noble, and beneath the gold-rimmed glasses, those phoenix eyes were even darker than the night sky. A simple white shirt on him seemed to carry an additional layer of nobility. Upon seeing Chi Gui, the corners of his attractive lips curled slightly, and with an undertone of teasing in his deep and pleasant voice, he said, ¡°We meet again. It seems we really are fated.¡± Chi Gui: ¡°Are you the owner of this store?¡± That explained the unconventional discounts. Fu Si was known in the Capital City for being inscrutable, so nothing he did was surprising. Even if it seemed foolish, there likely was a deeper meaning. Chi Gui didn¡¯t care about his intentions; she was only interested in the price: ¡°Is everything on sale for 50% off?¡± Fu Si chuckled lightly, put away his phone, stood up, and walked slowly over to Chi Gui. Chi Gui¡¯s almond-shaped eyes, dark and serene, watched him closely. Fu Si leaned in very close, his breath nearly touching Chi Gui¡¯s delicate ear, his voice low and enticing: ¡°Yes, indeed. I hope you¡¯ll take good care¡­ of my store in the future.¡± He drew out the word ¡°my,¡± infusing it with endless ambiguity. Chi Gui frowned, looking into his captivating phoenix eyes. Describing Fu Si¡¯s appearance as flawless wasn¡¯t an exaggeration; he exuded a kind of nobility and grace that only came from being raised in a wealthy and distinguished family. Back in the research institute, Chi Gui always heard her students gushing about how charming Fu Si was, saying that even being played by him once would be a blissful experience. Seeing him up close, there indeed was something maddeningly appealing about him. However¡­ Chi Gui, slightly puzzled, asked, ¡°I¡¯m not deaf, why are you speaking so closely?¡± Fu Si: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Qin Cheng couldn¡¯t help but cover his mouth forcefully and hurriedly left the shop. He feared he couldn¡¯t hold back his laughter if he stayed any longer! He didn¡¯t stop running until he was two streets away. Taking out his phone, he saw that people in the WeChat group were chatting. Someone @ him: ¡°What¡¯s so good about Nancheng, that small-town city, that you and Mr. Fu can¡¯t bear to leave?¡± Qin Cheng cheekily replied: ¡°You¡¯d be shocked if I told you! But I dare not say!¡± He immediately reaped a chorus of wails and curses from the group. Qin Cheng put away his phone, feeling satisfied. There was something slightly thrilling about being the only one privy to a shocking secret! ¡ª Back in the store. Fu Si stood up straight, maintaining a distance from Chi Gui. His long, attractive fingers pushed up his glasses, his smile warm and gentle: ¡°What would you like to buy?¡± Chi Gui¡¯s gaze swept over the shelves on either side. The store was large, and the shelves were filled with an array of items covering almost everything a medical student could need. Chi Gui figured she¡¯d purchase the scalpel and a whole series of items, and also casually picked up a human body model. All of these items were from well-regarded domestic brands, and would cost at least ten thousand yuan at normal prices. But with the 50% discount, Chi Gui only spent three thousand. Saving several thousand yuan put her in a noticeably good mood; after paying, she smiled and thanked Fu Si: ¡°Thank you.¡± Fu Si raised an eyebrow. Chi Gui, when not smiling, seemed clear and cold, her demeanor distant, but when she did smile, her eyes curved slightly, and her entire being transformed as though ice and snow were melting, incredibly gentle and lovely. Fu Si felt something stir within him. His lips curved slightly: ¡°No need to thank me, just frequent my¡­ store in the future.¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Chi Gui didn¡¯t catch the implication and nodded. Fu Si¡¯s phoenix eyes gleamed, and he spoke again as if on a whim: ¡°We also offer free home delivery service, would you like that?¡± Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Crisp and Ruthless Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Crisp and Ruthless Chi Gui didn¡¯t hesitate and directly let Fu Si give him a ride. Xing Gu and a few others had been stealthily following the whole time and were quite impressed. ¡°Mr. Fu¡¯s move is pretty slick! He entered Professor Chi¡¯s room openly!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, he still doesn¡¯t know Professor Chi¡¯s identity, does he?¡± ¡°Then he¡­ also doesn¡¯t know¡­ that Professor Chi has actually recognized him already, right?¡± As this question was raised, sudden silence filled the car. ¨C Xing Gu and his team were highly efficient and managed to renovate the house in Qinfang Garden overnight, according to the blueprints Chi Gui had provided them. The walls of the room had all been freshly repainted with the newest materials air-shipped from Capital City, harmless to humans, ready for immediate occupancy. Besides the walls, the flooring and furniture were all specially ordered from Capital City. Unless one was a researcher in the related field, the special features of the house were not discernible. As Fu Si entered with a mannequin, he was immediately struck by how inviting the space felt. Though the house wasn¡¯t large, it was decorated just right, visually comforting and imagining living there seemed quite comfortable. ¡°The renovation is fantastic,¡± Fu Si complimented generously. ¡°Thank you,¡± Chi Gui responded, coming in with other small items, her voice very calm. Fu Si turned to look at her. ¡°Did you design this yourself?¡± Chi Gui: ¡°Hmm.¡± She set down her things. ¡°It¡¯s been hard work. You can go now.¡± Her tone was very neat and ruthless. Fu Si grinned. ¡°Won¡¯t you offer me a cup of water?¡± Chi Gui was exceptionally honest in her reply. ¡°I haven¡¯t bought a water dispenser yet.¡± Fu Si: ¡­ Miscalculation. With no reason to stay, he could only regretfully leave. ¨C After sending off Fu Si, Chi Gui meticulously cleaned and sterilized the surgical knives she had bought, and organized the other items well into the afternoon. She tidied up the bedroom a bit before getting up to leave. Xing Gu and his team had already found a place to hide, capable of protecting Chi Gui at any moment without any hint of their presence, completely unintrusive to her life. Seeing Chi Gui descend the stairs now, Xing Gu approached her and asked, ¡°Are you returning to the Chi Family home?¡± ¡°Hmm,¡± Chi Gui nodded. Another bodyguard quickly drove a car over. It was just overnight, yet they had switched to an exceptionally ordinary taxi. Whether parked in the yard or used to transport Chi Gui, it wouldn¡¯t attract attention. Chi Gui got into the car and immediately noticed that the window glass had been replaced with military-grade bulletproof glass. She couldn¡¯t understand the other modifications, but they must have been changed as well. When she returned to the Chi Family home, she just happened to meet Chi Chang Jing. Chi Chang Jing seeing Chi Gui alighting from the taxi, the expression in his eyes deepened. It seemed that last time this girl wasn¡¯t lying and just had luck hitching a luxury car. Realizing Chi Gui had no special connections, Chi Chang Jing¡¯s tone became somewhat condescending. ¡°Don¡¯t run around outside all the time, stay at home and learn some manners from your mother, to avoid being ridiculed at social gatherings.¡± Chi Gui didn¡¯t have a fondness for the people from the Chi Family, but she was well-mannered and wouldn¡¯t ignore someone no matter how pointless their talk was. Chi Gui spoke politely. ¡°Why should I attend a banquet?¡± She had little interest in social events. Rather than wasting several hours at a banquet, she preferred to discuss the complex issues of neurosurgery with her colleagues. When she was in Capital City, everyone knew her disposition, and although the Four Great Families sent her invitations every time, they let her absent herself each time. Chi Chang Jing was momentarily choked by her matter-of-fact question and took a moment before saying, ¡°Banquets are an important way for prestigious families to network and foster relationships. It¡¯s okay if you haven¡¯t experienced this before, you¡¯ll understand in time.¡± He glanced at Chi Gui and added, ¡°Plus, you are a daughter of the Chi Family; of course, you must form good relations with the children from other families to build connections for the Chi Family.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Chi Gui¡¯s voice was faint, her dark almond-shaped eyes staring ahead, casually asking, ¡°Does Chi Yan have to do the same?¡± Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Chapter 16 How can you be the same as her? Chapter 16: Chapter 16 How can you be the same as her? ¡°Chi Yan is good at her studies and will need to advance in the Capital City in the future, how can she be the same?¡± Chi Changjing frowned and glanced at Chi Guiyi, ¡°Chi Gui, don¡¯t compare yourself with your sister. In the future, she will be able to connect with the top Four Great Families in the Capital City because of her medical skills. By then, you¡¯ll have to rely on her to help you.¡± Chi Gui: ¡°Oh.¡± After saying so much, Chi Changjing saw that Chi Gui reacted so indifferently and evasively which made him furrow his brows deeply, increasingly disliking this daughter from the rural. He stopped talking and walked into the villa¡¯s hall with Chi Gui following behind. In the hall, Zhao Yuexiu was restlessly dialing on her cellphone. Seeing Chi Gui walked in, she immediately got angry: ¡°Chi Gui! Where have you been fooling around again! Why didn¡¯t you answer the phone? Your father didn¡¯t even go to the company today, he¡¯s been working hard to find a school for you, can¡¯t you give your family some peace of mind!¡± Standing behind Zhao Yuexiu, Chi Yan spoke considerately, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s normal for my sister to meet friends here. She probably didn¡¯t mean to ignore your call. Sometimes, I don¡¯t notice the ringtone when I am with my friends either.¡± Her words seemed to be calming, but Zhao Yuexiu hated Chi Gui¡¯s friends from her part-time job, who were nothing but riffraff; mentioning them undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Chi Gui stood quietly at the door, glancing at Chi Yan who stood behind Zhao Yuexiu. After hearing the two of them finish their dialogue, she calmly said, ¡°I really didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± Just when Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s face was calming down a bit, she heard Chi Gui continue, ¡°I¡¯ve blocked you, so I can¡¯t receive your calls.¡± Chi Yan was dumbstruck. She thought Chi Gui would find some excuse. She never expected that she would indeed find one, and it would be¡­ so shocking. Zhao Yuexiu was about to explode with anger! But Chi Gui didn¡¯t give her a chance to speak, continuing, ¡°Also, you really don¡¯t need to trouble yourselves, I¡¯ve already talked with the principal of Nancheng Medical College. I¡¯ll start attending school tomorrow.¡± Hearing her words, Chi Yan pursed her lips and smiled, ¡°You are really amazing, sister! Even dad can¡¯t meet our principal, but you managed to meet him so easily.¡± Disappointment filled the eyes of both Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Changjing. It¡¯s one thing for her being from a rural area to lack sophistication, but to be so fond of comparing herself at such a young age, with such strong vanity, she won¡¯t amount to much. Chi Gui ignored what they thought and indifferently uttered, ¡°Hmm,¡± preparing to go upstairs. However, Zhao Yuexiu stopped her, ¡°Change into proper clothes and come with me to the Su Family. Mrs. Su wants to see you.¡± Chi Gui slightly furrowed her brows, ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Why would she go to see someone she had never even heard of? Zhao Yuexiu suddenly got angry, ¡°Do you know who she is? The housewife of the Kyoto Su Family! If it weren¡¯t for your grandmother saving Old Sir Su¡¯s life by chance, out of gratitude, he arranged a marriage between you and his grandson. You wouldn¡¯t even have the chance to meet them otherwise!¡± Chi Gui halted in her steps. She vaguely remembered something. In her childhood, her grandmother indeed mentioned this to her. But over a decade had passed, and no one from the Su Family had ever sought her out; she thought this matter had blown over. Unexpectedly, the Su Family Matriarch still remembered. And coincidentally, she had just arrived in Nancheng yesterday, and today they suddenly remembered to meet her. Chi Gui lowered her eyes, her attractive eyelashes casting a shadow below. She wasn¡¯t interested in what the Su Family Matriarch was planning, but this marriage arrangement was absurd in itself. If no one had mentioned it, it would have been one thing, but now that the Su Family remembered, she ought to go and formally break off the engagement face-to-face. Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Chapter 17: What Right Does She Have to Mind Chapter 17: Chapter 17: What Right Does She Have to Mind Chi Gui: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go change my clothes.¡± By the time she had changed her clothes and gone downstairs, Zhao Yuexiu was already waiting in the car. ¡°Miss Chi¡­¡± Sister Zhang led her toward the garage and hesitated before speaking, ¡°These noble families all have some pride. If they say something unpleasant¡­ don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Chi Gui glanced at Sister Zhang. She had been kind to her since her arrival yesterday. ¡°Thank you for the reminder,¡± Chi Gui smiled. She had no impression of the Su Family in Capital City. But she was immersed in medicine and had no impression of other families besides the Four Great Families. Sister Zhang looked at her and couldn¡¯t help but feel pity, so she said a few more words, ¡°Don¡¯t think that being honored and prominent in Nancheng makes the Chi Family significant. In the grand circles of Capital City, it counts for nothing. The Su Family is an unattainable existence for the Chi Family, which is why Mrs. Su and Miss Chi always try their best to please Mrs. Su.¡± Chi Gui listened quietly. She wasn¡¯t interested in these matters, but Sister Zhang meant well, so she wouldn¡¯t disregard her thoughts. When they reached the car, Chi Gui opened the door and saw Chi Yan already sitting inside. She was clearly dressed up, wearing a waist-cinched Little White dress, light yet sophisticated makeup, looking even more well-behaved and endearing. ¡°Sister, Aunt Su called earlier and said that it had been a long time since she had seen me and that she missed me a lot. She asked me to come along,¡± Chi Yan said with a smile to Chi Gui, ¡°You don¡¯t mind, do you?¡± Chi Gui calmly got into the car: ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± Zhao Yuexiu snorted coldly, ¡°Your Aunt Su wants to see you; what right does she have to mind?¡± Chi Yan smiled, said nothing, and glanced at Chi Gui. Chi Gui leaned her arm on her forehead and slightly against the window, her eyes closed, resting, completely ignoring what they were saying. The Su Family lived in a top-tier villa area on the other side of Nancheng. The Su Family¡¯s main house was in Capital City, but since their son Su Qing was studying at Nancheng Medical College, Mrs. Su had specially come to accompany her son. From the moment the car entered the Su Family villa, Chi Gui could clearly sense the restraint in Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan. The Su Family¡¯s butler had been waiting at the door for quite some time. As the car came to a halt, he went forward to formally open the door. He opened the passenger side door, and Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan got out first. The two, who never showed a good face to their servants at home, were now smiling courteously at the butler, their every word kind and thankful. Chi Gui got out last and silently followed behind the three of them. It was obvious that the Su Family¡¯s butler did not have much respect for Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan, remaining indifferent and politely distant in his demeanor. Upon entering the living room, Chi Gui immediately noticed the lady sitting on the sofa. The lady was dressed in an upscale custom-made white Cheongsam, her hair held up by a jade hairpin. She appeared to be in her forties, but had maintained herself well, with gentle features exuding grace and nobility. Zhao Yuexiu was also a lady raised in a wealthy family, but in front of her, her aura was sorely lacking. Chi Yan affectionately walked over and naturally took the lady¡¯s hand: ¡°Aunt Su, I missed you so much!¡± Yin Xiuxiu showed a merciful smile: ¡°Then stay at the Su Family¡¯s house for a couple of days! Just yesterday, Su Qing was saying he encountered a difficult medical problem; in the entire school, you¡¯re the only one who can discuss it with him.¡± The implication was quite clear. The smiles on the faces of Chi Yan and Zhao Yuexiu grew bigger at once. After finishing the conversation with Chi Yan, Yin Xiuxiu then turned her head to look at Chi Gui, who was standing to the side. The moment she clearly saw the girl¡¯s face, her eyes brightened. The girl was dressed simply yet appropriately, standing quietly, neither boastful nor cowered in the presence of such an important figure, but poised and calm. Her hair was casually tied up, revealing an exquisitely pretty face, especially those almond-shaped eyes, so black and so bright. Even though she was not as carefully dressed up as Chi Yan, she conveyed a very comfortable feeling. Chi Yan had been watching Mrs. Su¡¯s expressions the whole time. Seeing her show favor, she bit her lip and said with a smile, ¡°Auntie, this is my sister, Chi Gui. She just came from Cloud Village yesterday; there are many things she doesn¡¯t understand. After marrying into your family, she will need you and Brother Su to take good care of her.¡± C Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Chapter 18 You May Imagine Beautifully Chapter 18: Chapter 18 You May Imagine Beautifully Yin Xiuxiu¡¯s complexion faded instantly, ¡°Both children have never met each other; it¡¯s too early to discuss these matters.¡± The Su Family in the Capital City was considered a prestigious clan. Although the Chi Family held a respectable title in Nancheng, they were nothing in comparison to those in the Capital City. The marriage alliance between the Su Family and the Chi Family was essentially Chi Family marrying up. If Chi Yan were as obedient, sensible, and academically accomplished as to potentially become at least a chief physician, she might have reluctantly accepted it. But for Chi Gui, who grew up in the rural areas without any manners or education, even if there were the old master¡¯s orders, she would never agree! ¡°Mrs. Su, hello,¡± Chi Gui greeted politely. ¡°Mm. I¡¯ve been old friends with your mother, and I will speak frankly,¡± Yin Xiuxiu began softly, ¡°The arrangement between my father-in-law and your grandmother was an idea from the older generation¡­ You are young and should understand that marriage is now decided by the children themselves, and I can¡¯t make decisions for my son.¡± She smiled and said, ¡°However, I took a liking to you at first glance. If you are willing, I could consider you as my goddaughter.¡± Chi Gui didn¡¯t expect that before she could even broach the topic of breaking off the engagement, Mrs. Su had already brought it up. This made things easier. Chi Gui smiled back, ¡°You don¡¯t need to take me as your goddaughter.¡± Upon hearing this, Yin Xiuxiu¡¯s expression darkened. She didn¡¯t expect Chi Gui to willingly break off the engagement. Climbing up to the Su Family would be like reaching the heavens in one step for a girl like Chi Gui. Anyone with a bit of sense could tell which would be more beneficial, a goddaughter or a daughter-in-law. Before Chi Gui could speak again, Yin Xiuxiu cut in, ¡°Chi Gui, you¡¯ve never experienced life in a wealthy family; it might seem wonderful in your imagination. But actually, being a wealthy wife is not so easy, and with your background, you would only be ridiculed daily even if you forcefully married into our family. Isn¡¯t it better to take a step back and choose something more advantageous for yourself?¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ Zhao Yuexiu saw that Chi Gui didn¡¯t speak and urgently said, ¡°Chi Gui, look how considerate your Aunt Su is, hurry up and thank her!¡± Chi Gui frowned slightly, ¡°What I meant to say¡­¡± Before she could finish, a figure suddenly ran in crying and threw herself at Mrs. Su¡¯s feet. ¡°Aunt Su, please save my mother! She, she passed out!¡± This sudden occurrence startled everyone. The living room fell eerily silent for a second. Yin Xiuxiu looked down at the girl at her feet with a gently furrowed brow showing clear impatience, ¡°Your mother fainted, and you should call 120, what¡¯s the use of finding me? I am not a doctor.¡± The girl, tears swelling in her eyes, expressed despair, ¡°My mother isn¡¯t breathing anymore! We can¡¯t wait for an ambulance! Please, I beg you, let your family doctor take a look at her, at least perform some first aid¡­¡± Before she could finish, Yin Xiuxiu coldly interrupted, ¡°The family doctor went out with the old master, and it will take a while for him to return.¡± ¡°That, that¡­¡± The girl¡¯s desperate gaze frantically searched the other people in the living room. Upon spotting Chi Yan sitting next to Yin Xiuxiu, her eyes suddenly brightened, ¡°Chi Yan, you are the best student in our department, and you¡¯ve even gone out on field work with the professor! Please help me take a look at my mother!¡± Chi Yan looked at Yin Xiuxiu with difficulty and apologized, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ I really don¡¯t know much¡­¡± It was abundantly clear that Yin Xiuxiu disliked this girl; anyone with common sense wouldn¡¯t risk offending the Su Family matriarch to help her. The girl, feeling weak, knelt helplessly on the floor, gazing at the people around her, ¡°My mother¡­ my mother really isn¡¯t going to make it¡­ please, anyone, can you help me¡­¡± Yin Xiuxiu frowned in disgust, ¡°Where is the butler? Didn¡¯t he see I am hosting guests? Take her away immediately.¡± The butler and the servants hurried forward, attempting to pull the girl away. Her body trembled intensely, her face ashen. Just as a servant¡¯s hand was about to grab her, a slim, fair, and remarkably attractive hand steadied her shoulder. Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Chapter 19 First Aid Chapter 19: Chapter 19 First Aid ¡°Where is your mother? Take me to her quickly,¡± Chi Gui¡¯s voice was somewhat cool and distant, coming from above the girl¡¯s head. The girl was startled and instinctively looked up at the person speaking. The young woman looked about her age, her face delicate and beautiful, her almond eyes both dark and bright. The confidence and determination in them calmed her a bit. ¡°Who, who are you?¡± she asked, a bit confused. Chi Gui forcefully pulled her up and started walking towards the door. Chi Gui spoke rapidly, ¡°Describe in detail the patient¡¯s actions before she fainted! Did she mention feeling unwell anywhere specifically? Does she have any medical history?¡± Watching Chi Gui and the girl disappear outside, Yin Xiuxiu¡¯s face sank completely. Zhao Yuexiu quickly stood up and followed for a few steps, ¡°Chi Gui, what mess are you adding to? Come back here!¡± Chi Gui moved quickly, listening to the girl¡¯s choppy description, rapidly searching his mind for possible ailments, completely ignoring Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s words. Zhao Yuexiu looked embarrassed and carefully turned back, apologizing to Yin Xiuxiu, ¡°I¡¯m sorry for the embarrassment¡­¡± Chi Yan also expressed remorse, ¡°Aunt Su, I¡¯m so sorry, I apologize on behalf of my sister. She¡­ she just wants to make a good impression on you by showing her enthusiasm¡­¡± Chi Yan¡¯s words lightened Yin Xiuxiu¡¯s heart a bit. She looked at the sensible and considerate Chi Yan beside her, her face softened, ¡°This girl is so considerate and endearing. Ah, that girl is from the rural areas, she doesn¡¯t know how to read the room at all.¡± After speaking, Yin Xiuxiu looked up at Zhao Yuexiu, ¡°I must make it clear to you, the Chi Family¡¯s marital alliance can only be with Chi Yan, I won¡¯t acknowledge anyone else.¡± Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s face immediately lit up with joy. Chi Yan lowered her head and slightly curved her lips. ¨C On the way, Chi Gui asked questions quickly and precisely, about some small details that even the girl couldn¡¯t remember clearly. When they arrived at the small building where the girl and her mother lived, seeing the person lying on the ground, with eyes tightly closed and face and lips turning blue due to lack of oxygen, Chi Gui immediately rolled up his sleeves and began administering emergency treatment. The girl stood helplessly to the side, tears streaming down her face, wanting to help but afraid of causing more chaos. Just as she was feeling completely lost, she suddenly heard Chi Gui¡¯s voice, ¡°Don¡¯t just stand there foolishly, you¡¯re from the medical college, aren¡¯t you? Come and help!¡± The girl was startled and quickly waved her hands, ¡°I, I can¡¯t! I¡¯m not good at my studies!¡± ¡°Anyone who can get into Nancheng Medical College is elite, be confident,¡± Chi Gui¡¯s voice was calm and steady, ¡°Follow my instructions, you can do it.¡± At that moment, the girl felt that Chi Gui¡¯s tone was somehow similar to that of her professor¡­ She unconsciously started following Chi Gui¡¯s instructions¡­ The ambulance arrived quickly. It wasn¡¯t until the medical staff entered, that Chi Gui stopped the emergency treatment, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and calmly and professionally explained the situation to them. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± The girl, as she followed them onto the ambulance, bowed gratefully to Chi Gui. Chi Gui waved his hand, not making much of the situation. ¨C That evening. At the Chi family¡¯s dinner, Zhao Yuexiu, with a dark expression, recounted the day¡¯s events to Chi Changjing. After finishing, she looked at Chi Gui, who was quietly eating as if he hadn¡¯t heard a word she said, and felt her anger rise again. ¡°Chi Gui, did you hear what I just said?¡± Zhao Yuexiu slammed her chopsticks down on the table, ¡°You¡¯re an outsider, why interfere in others¡¯ affairs? Even if you lack tact, couldn¡¯t you see that Mrs. Su was unhappy? Luckily, Yan Yan is dearly loved by Mrs. Su, otherwise, because of you, the bond our family has maintained with the Su Family for many years could have been broken!¡± Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Can that be fulfilling? Chapter 20: Chapter 20 Can that be fulfilling? As soon as Chi Changjing heard this, his expression immediately darkened. The Chi family was able to form a connection with the prestigious Su Family of the Capital City purely by luck. For all these years, it was entirely because Chi Yan was greatly favored by Mrs. Su that they had been able to maintain this relationship. If Chi Gui was to drag Chi Yan down¡­ ¡°Chi Gui, what happened?¡± Chi Changjing asked with a stern face. Chi Gui had been silent until she slowly swallowed the last bite of her meal, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and then turned to look at Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Changjing. Her almond eyes were pitch black, her voice calm and serious, ¡°I wasn¡¯t meddling. When a patient collapsed in front of me, it was only natural for me to do my best to save them.¡± Zhao Yuexiu scoffed, ¡°Of what use were you? You haven¡¯t even started at Nancheng Medical College yet, and you already think of yourself as a doctor?¡± Chi Yan also sighed lightly, ¡°Sister, even though you meant well, it was really too reckless. Not to mention anything else, saving someone is an extremely meticulous task that requires ample experience. Even though I have been studying specialized knowledge in medical college for three years, I wouldn¡¯t dare to casually administer first aid to anyone.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chi Gui turn her gaze towards her, looking at her indifferently. Chi Yan choked. For some inexplicable reason, she felt a glaring mockery from that one look from Chi Gui! Chi Yan immediately felt as if something was stuck in her throat, and she became irritable. But before she could say anything else, Chi Gui had already stood up, ¡°I¡¯m full, thank you for the meal.¡± After saying that, she calmly turned around and went upstairs. ¡°You see, you see¡­ she doesn¡¯t treat us like family at all! We kindly advise her, and she thinks we¡¯re trying to harm her!¡± Zhao Yuexiu was shaking with anger, ¡°She even lied before, saying that she was going to Nancheng Medical College! She¡¯s utterly hopeless, all our kindness wasted on her!¡± Chi Changjing didn¡¯t say a word. He also felt a headache when it came to this daughter. He thought that she was probably beyond teaching, but he also felt it would be a pity to just give up on her. ¨C The next morning. Chi Gui, as usual, came back from her morning run to find that everyone else had already finished their breakfast. In a gentle and soft voice, Zhao Yuexiu reminded Chi Yan, ¡°It¡¯s a bit chilly today, take a jacket with you, put it on if you¡¯re cold.¡± She didn¡¯t even glance at Chi Gui. Chi Gui didn¡¯t care, went upstairs to wash up, and then took her backpack and came downstairs. Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan had left, Sister Zhang quietly came over and stuffed two eggs to Chi Gui, ¡°There were too many people in the kitchen, I couldn¡¯t get anything else. Take these two eggs to fill your stomach.¡± Chi Gui was stunned, then smiled and put them in her bag, ¡°Thank you.¡± Sister Zhang smiled and left. Chi Gui, with her backpack on, walked out just to meet Chi Mingkun, who had just driven back home. He was driving a red sports car, flamboyantly ostentatious, clearly just back from a race, the body of the car still with fresh scratches. As he drove past Chi Gui, he sped up, roaring as he zoomed past her. Chi Gui: ¡­ Was he really that childish? Chi Mingkun glanced at Chi Gui through the rearview mirror and saw that she continued to walk away calmly and indifferently, not at all startled by his act, let alone giving it a second glance. Annoyed, he snorted. Coming from a rural area, but she sure knows how to put on airs. ¨C Chi Gui got out of the modified taxi and said something to the driver, then found a breakfast shop near the school. She ordered a bowl of tofu pudding and took out the eggs given to her by Sister Zhang, eating slowly. It wasn¡¯t particularly early, the peak of people going to work and school, and there were quite a few people having breakfast here. Fu Si and Qin Cheng arrived at the entrance of ¡°Wait for You¡± store, just about to open, when Qin Cheng suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Mr. Fu, isn¡¯t that Chi Gui across the street? Why did she only get a bowl of tofu pudding? Can that fill her up?¡± Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Help Me Share Some Burden Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Help Me Share Some Burden Fu Si turned his head, his attractive brows raising as he tossed the keys to Qin Cheng, ¡°Keep an eye on the shop.¡± Before his words had fallen, he was already heading towards the entrance of the breakfast shop. He was dressed in his usual casual style today, which added a touch of refined elegance and leisure to his demeanor. His features were exquisitely handsome, almost to the extreme; his phoenix eyes hidden behind gold-framed glasses, exuding a sense of nobility and elegance that seemed out of place in such a modest establishment. He was the kind of person who shone the brightest no matter where he went. As soon as he entered the shop, he immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. There were quite a few female students eating breakfast, who almost ogled him out of their minds, whispering guesses about where this handsome guy had come from. Fu Si ignored the surrounding gazes and ordered a bowl of tofu pudding. He also got two egg pancakes and two eggs and carried them over to Chi Gui¡¯s table. Chi Gui raised her eyes but didn¡¯t speak. Fu Si naturally sat beside her, his delicate face breaking into a handsome smile, ¡°What a coincidence, you like to come to this shop for breakfast too?¡± Chi Gui: ¡°¡­¡± Coincidence, my foot. The Crown Prince of the leading family in Capital City, enjoying a meal in such a crowded and not particularly sanitary little shop? But she couldn¡¯t be bothered to expose him and simply hummed softly, continuing to eat her tofu pudding. Just as she lowered her head, a slender hand placed a clean plate in front of her. Shortly after, an egg pancake and an egg were placed on the plate. Chi Gui: ¡­ She looked up again. Fu Si smiled casually and gently, ¡°I accidentally bought too much; help me eat some.¡± Chi Gui looked at the egg pancake and egg on the plate. She had already eaten two eggs¡­ ¡°Thank you,¡± Chi Gui sincerely expressed her gratitude, ¡°but I can¡¯t eat this much¡­ I just ate two eggs.¡± Fu Si:¡­ He didn¡¯t feel embarrassed, just smiled, ¡°No worries, eat what you can, leave the rest.¡± Chi Gui didn¡¯t say anything more, bowing her head to sip her soup. Fu Si didn¡¯t start eating, his slender fingers idly stirring the tofu pudding with a spoon, while his other hand lazily supported his cheek, his slightly upturned phoenix eyes fixed on Chi Gui. The girl ate quietly, her head lowered, her long eyelashes veiling her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. Just watching her was pleasing to the eye. On the other side. Chi Yan got out of her family¡¯s car and was about to enter the school when she suddenly saw, not far away in the little shop, Chi Gui having breakfast. And next to her¡­ sat a man. From Chi Yan¡¯s angle, she could only see the man¡¯s profile. But even just a profile was stunningly beautiful. And the dignified aura he exuded made him stand out in the crowd, putting even the young masters from wealthy families in the school to shame. Chi Yan¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. How did Chi Gui know such a person? After a moment¡¯s thought, she picked up her bag and walked over. ¨C Chi Gui was eating when a gentle voice suddenly came from beside her, ¡°Sister? What are you doing here?¡± Chi Gui couldn¡¯t help but frown. Why did eating breakfast have to come with so many disturbances? Chi Yan didn¡¯t care whether Chi Gui acknowledged her or not, she had already walked directly over, standing right beside Fu Si. Seeing Fu Si¡¯s face clearly, Chi Yan felt even more amazed. She gently asked, ¡°Sister, is this your friend?¡± Chi Gui quietly sipped her soup. Fu Si still watched Chi Gui, not even sparing a glance in her direction. Chi Yan immediately felt somewhat awkward. She glanced at the tofu pudding, the egg pancakes, and the eggs on the table, and exclaimed in surprise, ¡°The breakfast today was specially prepared by the servants as instructed by Mom¡­ Doesn¡¯t it suit your taste?¡± Having said that, Chi Yan looked inadvertently at Fu Si again, ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, it was an oversight by me and Mom. You just came from Cloud Village, you must not be accustomed to those Western dishes¡­¡± Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Stirring Trouble Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Stirring Trouble Chi Yan felt that a man as elite-looking as Fu Si should be dating Chi Gui because he mistook her for Lady Chi. She kindly reminded him, thinking to prevent him from being deceived. Indeed, after she spoke, she saw Fu Si slightly raise his eyebrows and ask with a deep, pleasant voice, ¡°Full?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Chi Yan excitedly began to respond, suddenly realizing something was not right. She startled and turned her head to see Chi Gui had already put down her spoon, pulled out a tissue from her backpack, and wiped her mouth, ¡°Yes.¡± Chi Gui stood up: ¡°Thank you for the meal. I¡¯m going to class.¡± Fu Si nodded and also stood up, his handsome face smiling, ¡°I need to head to the store, it¡¯s on the way.¡± From start to finish, neither of them paid any attention to Chi Yan. Chi Yan stood still, feeling the peculiar glances of those around her, and bit her lip, feeling her face burn with embarrassment. At 8 a.m., the classroom was nearly full. Everyone who managed to get into Nancheng Medical College was undoubtedly diligent and hardworking. Chi Yan walked in and sat down in her usual spot. Beside her, Su Qing sensed her bad mood, looked up from his anatomy textbook, and asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Go to ????????????????????.co Chi Yan gazed at Su Qing. He was Mrs. Su¡¯s son and, if nothing went wrong, the future heir to the Kyoto Su Family. Su Qing was remarkably handsome, with fine features and a cool demeanor, universally acknowledged as the most handsome boy on campus. His face only softened when he was with Chi Yan. Chi Yan normally enjoyed this special treatment, but today, when facing Su Qing, she couldn¡¯t help but remember the man with Chi Gui. In both appearance and aura, Su Qing fell significantly short of that man. Chi Yan lowered her gaze to hide the irritation in her eyes and spoke with a tone of grievance, ¡°This morning, I saw my sister¡­¡± ¡°Chi Gui?¡± Su Qing¡¯s brow furrowed slightly. Last night, after he came home, his mother had told him about the girl they had just brought from the rural area. Lacking tact and upbringing, with nothing to offer but the genetic good looks of the Chi Family, which she luckily inherited. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Chi Yan nodded, ¡°I saw her sitting with a stranger and wanted to check on her¡­ She completely ignored me and left with that man¡­¡± ¡°No way?¡± Kong Wen, sitting in the seat behind, exclaimed, ¡°Doesn¡¯t she know about her engagement to Su Qing? Yet she¡¯s getting close to another man?¡± He had been close friends with Su Qing and Chi Yan since their freshman year, so he spoke without reserve. Hearing this, Su Qing¡¯s frown deepened, and a glint of disgust flashed in his eyes. Just then, Chi Gui walked in with her backpack through the door. Her arrival caused a small stir in the classroom. Not for any other reason but because she was simply too beautiful. Dressed in simple, elegant casual clothes, with her bangs tied up revealing a smooth forehead, her delicate, beautiful features seemed almost unreal, her skin as fair and tender as a peeled egg. Especially those dark, bright eyes, like stars falling into them, brilliantly dazzling. Despite her expressionless face, her cool, calm demeanor was even more captivating. Everyone in the class whispered about who she was. As university courses often comprised students from several classes together, seeing someone new was not unusual. Chi Yan¡¯s face turned even uglier. She stared incredulously at Chi Gui, unable to believe her eyes! Chi Gui had not lied; she really had enrolled at Nancheng Medical College! And in the same major as her! How could this be possible?! Kong Wen whispered in shock, ¡°Chi Yan, your family has some really strong connections to pull strings even in our school!¡± Chi Yan¡¯s eyes flickered, meeting Su Qing¡¯s almost admiring gaze, she bit her lip and tacitly agreed. Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Too Modest Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Too Modest Chi Gui didn¡¯t notice Chi Yan and the others at all. As soon as she walked into the classroom, a male classmate immediately stood up and greeted her, ¡°There¡¯s a seat over here.¡± Chi Gui recognized his face and hesitated for a moment. She walked over, sat down nonchalantly, and asked in a low voice, ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Xing Gu respectfully said, ¡°With you at school, you can¡¯t be without protection. I specifically requested this from Principal Lin.¡± Chi Gui was helpless, ¡°¡­then from now on, don¡¯t call me Professor Chi. Just use my name.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Xing Gu nodded, smoothly switching his address, ¡°Sister Chi.¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ The two exchanged a few words before the teacher came in and class began. The seat Xing Gu picked for her was excellent, by the window, with a gentle breeze coming in, extremely comfortable. Chi Gui leaned lazily against the window, not listening to the lecture, instead looking down at her phone. The breeze blew several strands of her black hair onto her cheeks, against her pale skin, creating a striking visual contrast. Kong Wen had been paying attention to Chi Gui the whole time, clicking his tongue twice before commenting, ¡°Chi Yan, your sister is quite pretty, it¡¯s just a shame, being from the rural areas, she lacks culture.¡± Go to ????????????????????.co Su Qing snorted coldly, ¡°What use is being pretty? Without real skills, she¡¯s just a waste.¡± Chi Yan pursed her lips and didn¡¯t speak, but felt a bit better. Kong Wen laughed, ¡°Su Qing, you¡¯re too demanding. Do you think everyone is as excellent as you and Chi Yan? Eh, but being beautiful is indeed popular. Look how enthusiastic that male classmate is, treating her like a goddess, so respectful.¡± Su Qing looked down on this even more, too lazy to even glance in Chi Gui¡¯s direction. Kong Wen didn¡¯t mind as he continued talking, ¡°I see she has no interest in studying at all! Chi Yan, did your parents force her in here, in the same major as us, just so she could get close to Su Qing and marry into the Su family early?¡± ¡°Just pay attention to the class,¡± Su Qing said coldly, impatiently. Kong Wen pouted, somewhat disinterested, but since Su Qing spoke, he didn¡¯t dare to say anything more and quietly shut his mouth to listen to the lecture. ¨C Chi Gui had noticed Kong Wen¡¯s uninhibited observations right from the start. She couldn¡¯t be bothered with him and focused on replying to messages: [Brother Han, I¡¯ve almost finished sorting things out here, don¡¯t worry.] The reply came quickly: [Good. If you need anything, just tell me. I sent you a gift, it should arrive tonight, remember to check for it.] Chi Gui: [Thank you. How is Uncle Han¡¯s recovery?] Han Xuan: [Thanks to your effort for making time to perform the surgery last time, dad has recovered very well and is now able to go out and about.] Chi Gui: [Uncle¡¯s good health is the reason for his quick recovery.] Han Xuan: [Why so modest with me? Don¡¯t others know that we only trust your medical skills?] Chi Gui smiled. After the class ended, Chi Yan glanced at Su Qing, hesitating whether to approach Chi Gui or not, only to see her already getting up to leave. Xing Gu followed Chi Gui out. Chi Yan was somewhat surprised, ¡°My sister and that male classmate¡­ got along so well just after one class?¡± Su Qing¡¯s face was tense as she stood up, ¡°Heading home.¡± Chi Yan bit her lip and followed Su Qing out. The Chi Family¡¯s car had long been waiting outside the school gates. Zhao Yuexiu thought that food outside was dirty and unsanitary, so she never allowed her precious children to eat out. During lunch, Chi Yan hesitated and then said in a low voice, ¡°Sister¡­ she really got into Nancheng Medical College¡­ in the same major as me.¡± C Chapter 24 - Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Why cant you learn from your sister Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Why can¡¯t you learn from your sister Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Changjing were both shocked. Chi Mingkun, however, didn¡¯t think much of it and sneered, ¡°In the past, our grandmother¡¯s family was considered a prominent household in Nancheng, wasn¡¯t it? Although they later fell into decline and could only return to the village, there were still some connections, right? With so many leaders in the medical college, it wouldn¡¯t be strange for one or two to give grandmother some face and let that village girl in.¡± His words did make some sense. But Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Changjing still felt something was off in their hearts. Casually, Chi Yan added, ¡°My sister really does have a way with people! This morning at breakfast, I saw her eating with a man I didn¡¯t recognize¡­ and after classes, she left with another male classmate I didn¡¯t know¡­¡± ¡°Smack!¡± Zhao Yuexiu slammed her chopsticks down on the table, annoyed, ¡°At such a young age, not learning good things, only bringing over bad influences!¡± Chi Yan lowered her head obediently and said, ¡°Mom, don¡¯t be angry¡­ It¡¯s actually a good thing that sister has made friends so quickly¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s good about it!¡± Zhao Yuexiu furrowed her brows in anger, ¡°As a girl, instead of making friends with female classmates, she¡¯s always mingling with men. Doesn¡¯t she have any shame?! Chi Yan, keep your distance from her at school, don¡¯t let others get the wrong idea about you!¡± Chi Changjing didn¡¯t say a word. Though Chi Gui was his own daughter, he hadn¡¯t raised her for twenty-three years and thus felt no affection for her. If she were like Chi Yan, he would have been more willing to care for her, but no matter how he looked at it, Chi Gui wasn¡¯t worth his concern. Chi Mingkun pinched his chopsticks loosely and said indifferently, ¡°Sister, if she dares to misuse our family name and bring you shame at school, just tell me, and I¡¯ll teach her how to behave!¡± Go to ????????????????????.co Zhao Yuexiu picked up some vegetables with her chopsticks and put them in his bowl, ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to worry, just focus on your studies.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do, Chi Yan is my precious little sister, how can I just watch her being bullied by that village girl?¡± Chi Mingkun huffed. Chi Yan immediately smiled sweetly, ¡°Thank you, brother.¡± As they were speaking, Chi Gui returned. Chi Yan watched Chi Gui enter calmly and indifferently, a flash in her eyes, but she said nothing. Zhao Yuexiu suddenly, in anger, threw her chopsticks down, ¡°Did you again mix with some disreputable people today? I¡¯m telling you, from now on, you¡¯ll be driven to class by the family driver and go straight home after school! Your father has found you an etiquette teacher, so you better learn properly from them every day! Otherwise, if we have guests or relatives over, the whole family will have to face ridicule because of you¡­¡± Chi Gui stopped in her tracks and interrupted calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll be moving out today.¡± Everyone was stunned. Zhao Yuexiu blurted out, ¡°Move out? Where could you possibly move to?¡± Chi Gui: ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about that.¡± ¡°What do you mean we don¡¯t need to worry?!¡± Zhao Yuexiu reached out to grab Chi Gui, ¡°I¡¯m your mother! If I don¡¯t care about you, who will? Why can¡¯t you be more like your sister¡­¡± But before her hand could touch Chi Gui, she saw the girl suddenly turned and looked straight at her. Zhao Yuexiu stopped dead in her tracks. The girl¡¯s eyes were pitch-black, very calm, as if she was looking at a stranger. A chill suddenly ran through Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s heart, and the words she was going to say got stuck in her throat, unable to come out. She waited for Chi Gui to say something, but Chi Gui only glanced at her once before turning and going upstairs. The living room fell into an unusual silence. After a little while, Chi Gui came down with a black backpack on her shoulder. She addressed Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Changjing in the living room in a polite and distant manner, ¡°Thank you for the trouble these past few days.¡± Zhao Yuexiu: ¡­ Chi Changjing: ¡­ Not until Chi Gui¡¯s figure disappeared outside the door did everyone sharply come back to their senses. Chi Gui¡­ she seemed to have never brought her luggage into the house¡­ Chapter 25 - Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Little Guai Chapter 25: Chapter 25 Little Guai Zhao Yuexiu thought that Chi Gui had reached the realm of the wealthy and looked down on the old and worn-out things from before, and wanted to replace them all with new ones. But now it seemed that she clearly had no plans to live at the Chi Family home. Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s feelings suddenly became complicated. No matter the lack of emotions, she was after all her biological daughter¡­ Zhao Yuexiu took two steps forward, wanting to chase after her. Chi Yan suddenly spoke up, a bit puzzled, ¡°How odd¡­ Why is sister moving out right after meeting new friends today?¡± Chi Mingkun scoffed in disdain, ¡°What¡¯s so strange about that? These days, there are plenty of people who don¡¯t respect themselves.¡± Zhao Yuexiu¡¯s feet were nailed to the ground in an instant, her face darkened, ¡°If she wants to leave, then let her go. From now on, let¡¯s just pretend our family doesn¡¯t have this daughter!¡± Chi Gui, with her backpack slung over her shoulder, was escorted back to Qinfang Garden by Xing Gu. A bodyguard emerged from a hidden spot and handed her a parcel from Han Xuan. The parcel was as tall as her waist and incredibly heavy. Yet Xing Gu lifted it with ease and carried it up to the fifth floor for her. After setting down the parcel, seeing that Chi Gui had no further instructions, he took his leave on his own initiative. Go to ????????????????????.co Chi Gui found a pair of scissors, cut open the box, and saw a short and chubby robot with an adorable design lying inside. The Han Family primarily dealt in cutting-edge technological products, and in recent years, they had focused more on robot butlers, so Chi Gui was not surprised to receive such a gift from them. She took the robot out and pressed the button on its back. After a series of start-up sounds, the robot¡¯s milky voice rang out, ¡°Hello Sister! I am your dearest butler robot! May I ask how I should address you?¡± ¡°Chi Gui.¡± The robot processed for a moment, likely incorporating the name into its program, ¡°Sister Chi Gui, your name is so lovely!¡± Well, it seemed capable of flattery. Chi Gui found it somewhat amusing, ¡°What is your name?¡± The robot replied obligingly, ¡°Sister, I will be called whatever you like to call me.¡± Do robots these days all talk like this? Chi Gui was surprised and thought for a moment, ¡°You¡¯re so well-behaved, I¡¯ll call you Little Guai!¡± Little Guai¡¯s mechanical little head nodded twice, ¡°Okay! Sister, if there is anything you need Little Guai to do, just command me!¡± Chi Gui tentatively asked, ¡°Can you tidy up these cardboard boxes?¡± ¡°Consider it done!¡± Little Guai patted its short mechanical chest with its own short mechanical arms and glided over to the boxes. Four little casters were fitted underneath its feet, which could protect the floor from scratches very well. Chi Gui sat on the couch, watching with interest. Little Guai grasped the cardboard boxes nimbly with its mechanical arms, placing them precisely next to the trash can. Afterward, it automatically scanned for the location of the broom in the room, glided over to grab the broom, and swept up the scraps of paper on the floor until it was spotlessly clean. Once Little Guai had finished cleaning, it slid in front of Chi Gui, lifted its tiny mechanical head, its voice thick with a desire for praise, ¡°Sister Chi Gui, did I do a good job?¡± Chi Gui patted its head, ¡°You did a fantastic job!¡± Little Guai began playing cheerful music automatically. Chi Gui couldn¡¯t help but marvel. Previously, her room was always cleaned by staff, and her meals were either in the hospital or the laboratory. This was her first time interacting with a butler robot. She hadn¡¯t expected the Han Family¡¯s developed butler robot to be this advanced in intelligence. Next, Little Guai took the initiative to clean the room once again. Chi Gui plugged in the automatic charging interface in the bedroom, and when Little Guai ran out of battery, it obediently slid back to the bedroom and sat on the floor to charge itself. Although Little Guai was very intelligent and had many functions, essentially taking care of all household chores except cooking, and could even operate some simple electrical appliances, the downside was very clear ¡ª it consumed battery quickly. After all, conducting these actions required running numerous programs, and currently, no battery had been developed that could support such robots for extensive periods of activity. Chi Gui studied Little Guai a bit longer with the help of the manual before she got up and went to the kitchen. The fridge was stocked with a variety of dishes prepared by the bodyguard. Chi Gui made a simple dinner and then went to sleep. The next day. She finished breakfast, told Little Guai to clean the house, and then left with her black backpack. As she was locking the door, the neighboring door happened to open. A tall man with slender build, wearing golden wire-rimmed glasses, and a face of exquisite and noble perfection emerged from inside. Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: Chapter 26 What is Mr. Fus face made of? Chapter 26: Chapter 26 What is Mr. Fu¡¯s face made of? As he appeared, the originally dim corridor seemed to light up. Chi Gui: ¡­ Holding the keys with his jade-like fingers, Fu Si saw her and curved his thin lips into a beautiful smile, ¡°Good morning! What a coincidence, are you heading out too?¡± Chi Gui looked at him expressionlessly, ¡°Why are you here?¡± Fu Si responded with righteous indignation, not showing the slightest guilt, ¡°The homeowner sold this place cheaply, and I just happened to need a place to live, so I bought it.¡± After finishing, he leaned forward slightly, moving closer to Chi Gui. His captivating phoenix eyes stared at her, and his deep voice seemed to tease at her heartstrings, ¡°Chi, now we¡¯re neighbors, we should help and love each other, and be model neighbors, right?¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ She turned and walked downstairs. Fu Si lazily followed behind her, hands in his pockets. Today, he had changed into casual clothes, revealing a string of Buddhist beads around his wrist, the dark beads of purple sandalwood contrasting starkly against his fair wrist. He looked as exquisite as a model in a commercial. Passing neighbors couldn¡¯t help but take a few more glances at him. Yet, Fu Si¡¯s eyes were only fixed on the slender figure of Chi Gui. Go to ????????????????????.co The two of them reached the building¡¯s entrance. Bodyguards hidden in the shadows nearly lost their balance in shock at the sight. ¡°How could Mr. Fu be here??¡± Xing Gu coldly glanced at the bodyguards who had been guarding here yesterday, ¡°Didn¡¯t you investigate yesterday?¡± One of the bodyguards felt like crying, ¡°Mr. Fu came into the building openly last night, we didn¡¯t dare to follow him, thinking he was visiting a friend¡­¡± Who knew he was here buying a house! Openly coveting Professor Chi! Shameless! Too shameless! Chi Gui, however, seemed unbothered. Carrying her bag as usual, just as she was about to leave the compound, she heard Fu Si¡¯s pleasant voice behind her, ¡°It¡¯s on my way, let me give you a ride.¡± Chi Gui: ¡°No need, I¡¯ll take a taxi.¡± She walked outside where Xing Gu was already waiting in the car. Because there were outsiders, Xing Gu didn¡¯t get out to open the door for Chi Gui. Chi Gui opened the back seat door herself, and just as she was sitting down, Fu Si shamelessly followed and sat down next to her. Xing Gu: ¡­ Chi Gui: ¡­ Fu Sxiu adjusted his glasses with his long fingers and smiled elegantly, ¡°Sorry, my car broke down, can you give me a lift?¡± Chi Gui: ¡°You just said you¡¯d give me a ride.¡± Fu Si didn¡¯t feel embarrassed at all, smoothly turning the tables, ¡°Right after I said it, it broke.¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ Xing Gu couldn¡¯t help but give Fu Si a shocked look. What is Mr. Fu¡¯s face made of?! Xing Gu looked at Chi Gui. Chi Gui massaged her temples, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Xing Gu started the car. Fu Si leaned against the car window, casually resting one hand against his forehead, his phoenix eyes drifting over Xing Gu indifferently, without a word. Arriving at the school, Chi Gui got out of the car. Fu Si stood at the entrance, watching Chi Gui¡¯s slender figure enter the school before turning to walk into the store. ¨C Xing Gu parked the car not far from the school and walked back. Chi Gui was already sitting in the classroom waiting, Xing Gu approached quietly and asked softly, ¡°Sister Chi, should I inform Old Shen?¡± Chi Gui shook her head, ¡°No need.¡± Where he buys a house is Fu Si¡¯s freedom, it¡¯s not her business. At that moment, Chi Yan, Su Qing, and Kong Wen also walked in. Kong Wen seemed quite excited throughout, speaking loudly, ¡°Su Qing, your family is really incredible! You even got your hands on the new robotic housekeeper that Hanwan Group just developed! I heard those robots haven¡¯t even officially launched yet, you can¡¯t buy one without connections!¡± Su Qing¡¯s voice was cold, yet still could not hide her pride, ¡°My dad had to pull many strings to get it, trying to establish some connection with Hanwan Group is really hard.¡± The Han Family is one of the top families in Capital City, they usually only deal with other top families like the Shen Family, the Fu Family, and the Qin Family. Though the Su Family may be considered affluent in Nancheng, they have to carefully please and curry favor even with families like Chi Family, they mean nothing in Capital City. This opportunity to connect and collaborate with Hanwan Group, even if just by buying an unreleased robotic housekeeper, was enough to make the Su Family proud for quite a while. Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Why are you acting so important? Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Why are you acting so important? Kong Wen and Chi Yan were even more envious. The Su Family was an existence they looked up to, and the Han Family¡­ that was beyond their wildest dreams. ¡°Is this robot the one that made the news the year before last?¡± Chi Yan asked with envy and curiosity, ¡°Super intelligent, capable of doing all household chores just like a human, even able to operate some simple appliances, and can even learn and upgrade itself?¡± Su Qing shook his head regretfully, ¡°That robot is a core project of Hanwan Group. It not only costs up to a hundred million, but it¡¯s also not for sale to the public, given only as gifts to important VIPs.¡± Hearing this, Chi Gui gave Su Qing a somewhat surprised look. She had never used a robotic butler before and was completely unfamiliar with them. Little Guai was so advanced, she had thought that was just how far technology had come. Who would have thought it was custom made? The eyes of the three people almost instantly noticed Chi Gui¡¯s look. Su Qing frowned in disgust, turned his head away, as if afraid that one more glance would cause Chi Gui to cling to him. Chi Yan smiled and said to Chi Gui, ¡°Sister, are you also interested in robot butlers?¡± Chi Gui: ¡°It¡¯s okay¡­ quite cute, and quite useful.¡± ¡°Cute?¡± Chi Yan was taken aback. Go to ????????????????????.co Kong Wen had already laughed out loud, ¡°Chi Yan, I think your sister has no clue what a robot butler is. She¡¯s just pretending to be knowledgeable, right? Since when has a robot butler been associated with cute?¡± Chi Yan sighed helplessly and looked at Chi Gui, ¡°Sister, at present, robotic butlers¡­ even the latest unreleased models bought by Brother Su Qing¡¯s family, just follow set programs to work and the voice is only a built-in mature male voice, how could it possibly be cute?¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ She felt that talking to them was a bit of a waste of time, so she didn¡¯t speak again, but instead sent Han Xuan a message: ¡°The robot you gave me, is it custom-made?¡± Han Xuan responded almost instantly: ¡°Yes. Are you satisfied with it? Yutang said you¡¯re a girl, you like soft cute things so I had someone specially implant a child¡¯s voice.¡± Chi Gui: ¡°It¡¯s very cute, thank you.¡± However, in the eyes of Kong Wen and the others, Chi Gui¡¯s actions were seen as embarrassed defensiveness after being figuratively slapped in the face. Kong Wen snorted with laughter. Chi Yan sighed and said to Su Qing, ¡°Brother Su Qing, let¡¯s talk to sister more about the aristocratic circle in the future¡­ otherwise, I feel uncomfortable seeing her like this¡­¡± Su Qing¡¯s voice and gaze softened, ¡°You are really too kind. But such ignorant and vain people don¡¯t deserve our help.¡± Chi Yan lowered her head and curved the corner of her lips. ¨C As the class was about to start, a girl walked in from the door. She was wearing somewhat worn-out sportswear, her hair slightly messy, and her eyes bloodshot as if she had gone without sleep for two nights. Upon seeing Chi Gui, the girl was startled, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes. She was just about to sit down next to her when she saw Su Qing nearby. He was staring at her coldly, the loathing in his eyes nearly spilling over. The girl shrank back in fright, then hesitated before choosing to sit a little farther away from Chi Gui. The class passed quickly. As soon as the class ended, Su Qing and Chi Yan left. Chi Gui sat at her desk, holding her phone, seemingly engrossed in whatever she was looking at. The girl sat in her seat, hesitating for a long time, until the classroom was almost empty before she finally bit her lip and walked towards Chi Gui. Just as she approached, she was startled by the cold gaze of Guai sitting beside Chi Gui. After a pause, she mustered her courage and said to Chi Gui, ¡°Um¡­ I really thank you for last time! My mom survived all thanks to your timely rescue!¡± Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Chapter 28 So What? Chapter 28: Chapter 28 So What? Chi Gui was reading a groundbreaking research paper on neurosurgical diseases, recently published by an international professor. The entire content was in English, yet she comprehended it effortlessly. Engrossed in the paper, she suddenly heard a timid voice above her. She instinctively frowned, then looked up, ¡°Ah¡­ it¡¯s you¡­ It¡¯s nothing, don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Chi Gui¡¯s voice was calm, showing neither impatience at being disturbed nor displeasure. This relieved the girl, who then spoke up, ¡°My name is Su Niannian¡­ I left in such a hurry last time, I didn¡¯t get to properly thank you. May I treat you to a meal?¡± Chi Gui didn¡¯t want to go. But just as she was about to refuse, she saw Su Niannian¡¯s face tense up, as if she was about to faint, her eyes red, looking utterly pitiable. Chi Gui let out an inward sigh, ¡°Alright.¡± She packed up her book and stood up to follow Su Niannian to the cafeteria. Xingu did not follow but stayed in a suitable position, protecting her from the shadows. Chi Gui and Su Niannian got their food and sat down at a table. Chi Gui wasn¡¯t one for idle chatter while eating. Seeing her silence, Su Niannian didn¡¯t dare speak either. Go to ????????????????????.co As they were almost done eating, in silence, Su Niannian clenched her fists and suddenly spoke up, ¡°Um¡­ you¡¯re engaged to my brother, right?¡± Chi Gui looked up. Su Niannian grew more nervous, ¡°I¡ªI mean¡­ Mrs. Su has always disliked my mother and me¡­ Your help this time might affect your engagement to my brother¡­¡± Chi Gui, ¡°So?¡± Su Niannian hesitated, then elaborated further, ¡°My mom was actually my dad¡¯s first wife¡­ But eight years ago, in order to marry Mrs. Su, he used the medical expenses he provided my mother as leverage, forcing her to divorce¡­¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ Why was she telling her all this? Su Niannian calmed herself and tried to speak steadily, ¡°After that, when Mrs. Su brought Su Qing into the household, my mom found out that my dad had married her just for the shares she held, and he had already fathered a son with Mrs. Su outside¡­ Su Qing is even a few months older than me¡­ As a result, Mrs. Su spread rumors that my mom was the mistress, which aggravated my mom¡¯s illness due to the anger¡­¡± Saying this, she gave a bitter smile towards Chi Gui, ¡°You must be thinking, if that¡¯s the case, why don¡¯t we move out, why stay at the Su Family and put up with this treatment, right?¡± Chi Gui, ¡°I don¡¯t want to¡­¡± Su Niannian continued on regardless, ¡°All of my mother¡¯s money went to my dad for his company investments¡­ I¡¯m so useless¡­ which is why I can only live in the small building in a corner of the Su Family estate, as per my father¡¯s requirements, to get the monthly medical funds¡­¡± Chi Gui: ¡­ The Su Family, being a wealthy household, was especially sensitive about such scandals. Therefore, although Mr. Su and Su Niannian¡¯s mother had divorced, they dared not let her leave freely, fearing she would tarnish the Su Family¡¯s reputation with her words. And to the current Mrs. Su, the existence of Su Niannian¡¯s mother was an irritant, a thorn in her side; she¡¯d rather she died sooner than later. That¡¯s why she had deliberately left her to die last time. Chi Gui was completely disinterested in these family power struggles and quietly finished the last bit of her meal. Finally, Su Niannian finished speaking as well, venting everything out, which seemed to lighten her load somewhat. She looked at Chi Gui opposite her, still emotionless, as calm and peaceful as ever. Strictly speaking, she shouldn¡¯t have said so much. She should have directly urged Chi Gui to stay away from her and to never interfere in her affairs again. But¡­ Perhaps it was the overwhelming sense of calmness emanating from Chi Gui, or perhaps because she had always been ostracized and looked down upon, this was the first time she had encountered someone who was willing to lend a helping hand¡­ Unintentionally, she had spilled out all the pent-up words in her heart. But now that Chi Gui knew the truth, she would probably distance herself like everyone else, to curry favor with the Su Family, right? Su Niannian lowered her eyes sorrowfully, waiting for Chi Gui to leave. The next second, she heard Chi Gui¡¯s somewhat puzzled voice, ¡°So?¡± Chapter 29 - Chapter 29: Chapter 29 She Lived Exactly Like the Girl in Her Dreams Chapter 29: Chapter 29 She Lived Exactly Like the Girl in Her Dreams Su Niannian: ? She had said so much, and Chi Gui hadn¡¯t listened at all?? Su Niannian suddenly didn¡¯t know whether to feel sad or angry¡­ She spoke somewhat anxiously, ¡°If you continue to associate with me, then never think about entering the Su Family¡¯s door again!¡± But Chi Gui was even more puzzled, ¡°Have you perhaps misunderstood something?¡± ¡°Misunderstood what?¡± Su Niannian was stunned. Chi Gui¡¯s slender and fair fingers tapped lightly on the table, seemingly organizing his thoughts, ¡°Firstly, I don¡¯t have any particular desire to be with you.¡± Su Niannian: ¡­ Before her heart could feel congested, she heard Chi Gui continue, ¡°Secondly, the reason I saved your mother was because she was ill, and I just happened to have the ability to save her.¡± ¡°Is it just because of that?¡± Su Niannian blurted out incredulously. Actually, before coming, she had also thought that Chi Gui, due to not understanding the situation, wanted to impress Mrs. Su and that was why he was so proactive¡­ Chi Gui looked at her calmly, his dark and bright almond-shaped eyes taking on an air of course, ¡°Otherwise?¡± Su Niannian remained silent for a long while. Go to ????????????????????.co Chi Gui glanced at the time, ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Su Niannian shook her head blankly. ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave. Thanks for the hospitality.¡± Having said that, Chi Gui rose from his seat and walked out holding his plate. Su Niannian watched Chi Gui¡¯s retreating figure and for some reason, a sudden impulse surged in her heart. She quickly grabbed her plate and ran after Chi Gui, asking nervously and tentatively, ¡°Then¡­ can I be friends with you?¡± She thought Chi Gui was so cool! He was exactly like the person she dreamed of becoming! Chi Gui: ¡°Ah¡­ if we can get along¡­¡± ¡°I will definitely try hard to get along with you!¡± Su Niannian said hastily. Chi Gui: ¡­ He watched Su Niannian¡¯s excited and struggling face and silently swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. ¨C There was one more class in the afternoon. Most of the students from the same major had already taken their seats early in the classroom. When Chi Gui and Su Niannian entered, everyone was excitedly discussing around Chi Yan and Su Qing which elective classes to choose. Being the two top students of the Neurosurgery Department, everyone wanted to refer to their elective choices. Surrounded by a crowd like stars around the moon, Chi Yan smiled modestly and gently, ¡°Sorry, everyone, I might not be able to provide a reference this time. I¡¯ve chosen Medical Management.¡± The crowd immediately let out sounds of regret and envy. Someone asked, ¡°Chi Xueshen¡¯s family owns a hospital, it looks like you plan to inherit it in the future, right?¡± ¡°No,¡± Chi Yan smiled, ¡°My brother studies at Huaxia Finance University, majoring in Business Administration. He will mainly manage the hospital in the future.¡± The crowd was once again filled with envious murmurs. Huaxia Finance University is also the second-ranked prestigious university in the country! Among those studying at Nanshan Medical College, there were also many from ordinary families. With her background from a wealthy family, good looks, pleasant personality, and being a top student, Chi Yan was someone many envied already, and to top it off, even her brother was a Xueshen! With such outstanding genes, how could one not be envious! Standing beside, Su Qing listened to Chi Yan¡¯s words, and even her normally cool expression softened. ¡°Su Xueshen, what have you enrolled in?¡± someone asked. Su Qing replied with a cool voice, ¡°Medical Management.¡± The Su Family¡¯s businesses were vast and also included several hospitals. After hearing this, the crowd began to tease, ¡°Ah! Su Xueshen and Chi Xueshen really have a tacit understanding! Even the majors you¡¯ve chosen are the same!¡± ¡°You two should just get together! There probably isn¡¯t anyone else in this world who could match up to you both!¡± Very soon, everyone started chiming in with ¡°be together¡±. Chi Yan noticed Chi Gui standing at the doorway, her eyes twinkling, and she leaned shyly against Su Qing. Although Su Qing had a cold demeanor, he didn¡¯t make a move to stop her. At the doorway. Seeing this, Chi Gui¡¯s expression changed slightly. Chapter 30 - Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Bored of Looking Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Bored of Looking Su Niannian stood anxiously beside Chi Gui, and upon seeing her complexion change, she felt somewhat sad. Although it was Chi Gui who was engaged to Su Qing, now she could only stand here, watching her fianc¨¦ and another woman flirt. ¡°Chi Gui, don¡¯t be sad¡­¡± Su Niannian clumsily tried to comfort Chi Gui, ¡°My brother, he¡­¡± She had barely spoken a few words when she saw Chi Gui pause, then turn his head to look at her. Chi Gui¡¯s voice was somewhat surprised, ¡°So he¡¯s your brother?¡± Su Niannian: ? Turns out she wasn¡¯t upset just now, but surprised?? Su Niannian was flabbergasted, ¡°You, you¡¯ve been here for two days and you still didn¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Ah¡­¡± Chi Gui replied calmly and naturally, ¡°They don¡¯t seem that important, so I didn¡¯t pay attention.¡± Su Niannian: ¡­ It was not until this moment that she truly believed the words Chi Gui had said in the cafeteria weren¡¯t just to comfort her. Chi Gui really didn¡¯t care about her brother or the engagement with the Su Family. No¡­ maybe she didn¡¯t care about the Su Family at all¡­ Go to ????????????????????.co So cool! Su Niannian¡¯s eyes glistened as she watched Chi Gui. Chi Gui: ¡­ Eagerly, Su Niannian spoke up, ¡°Chi Gui, which elective courses are you going to sign up for? The electives at our medical school are pretty good, like Medical Anthropology, it¡¯s really useful!¡± Chi Gui: ¡°Ah.¡± She hadn¡¯t been to school in so long that she had forgotten about elective courses in college. Chi Gui was contemplating which to choose when Chi Yan, as if she had just noticed her, came over with a smile, ¡°Sister, are you here to discuss with us which classes to pick too?¡± Chi Gui: ? The people around them immediately started buzzing! ¡°Sister? Chi Yan, when did you get a sister?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never seen her before!¡± With a graceful smile, Chi Yan explained, ¡°My sister has always lived in Cloud Village, and she only came back a few days ago. She¡¯s still not very familiar with university life, so please help her out in the future.¡± At these words, the others¡¯ expressions immediately took on a hint of disdain. ¡°So she¡¯s from Cloud Village¡­ no wonder she¡¯s been so quiet these past days. I thought she was naturally aloof, but now it seems she¡¯s just unable to keep up with our conversations?¡± ¡°There aren¡¯t any good universities over in Cloud Village, right? Transferring here, can she keep up?¡± ¡°With the strict assessment system of our school, even if she was pushed in through connections, without real skills, she¡¯ll probably be gone after a semester!¡± Everyone had earned their place through their abilities and naturally looked down on those who got in through connections. ¡°Chi Gui is really talented¡­¡± Su Niannian couldn¡¯t stand hearing others slander Chi Gui, and despite the immense pressure from Su Qing¡¯s gaze, she was about to defend Chi Gui. However, Chi Gui calmly spoke up, ¡°I might take Computer Networking Technology.¡± She was responding to Su Niannian. As for the pointless chatter of the others, Chi Gui couldn¡¯t be bothered to pay attention. But her words sparked a wave of mocking laughter. Choosing a leisurely course completely unrelated to medicine in your junior year was clearly indicative of wanting an easy pass! Su Niannian couldn¡¯t help but advise, ¡°Chi Gui, we¡¯re in our junior year now, a computer class would be utterly useless for you. It¡¯d be better to choose something medical-related¡­¡± Chi Gui: ¡°No need, I¡¯m sick of medical-related stuff.¡± Moreover, such elective courses only covered basic knowledge, which was of no use to her. It was better to take a computer class to relax the mind. Someone immediately laughed in scorn: ¡°Tsk, such pretty words! It¡¯s probably not that you¡¯re sick of it, but that you can¡¯t understand it at all, right?¡± ¡°With her skills, she probably could only join a computer class to mess around online for credits!¡± Su Qing frowned tightly, disgust filling his eyes. Chi Yan¡¯s lips curved into a sly smile, feigning concern, ¡°What everyone¡¯s saying makes sense. Sister, you have little foundation to start with, so it¡¯s better to choose a more specialized class. If there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand, you can ask me. I¡¯ll help you with anything I know.¡±
