Chapter 73: Chapter 73: You Came in the Middle of the Night Just to Say This?

Su Qing’s words made Mr. Su and Mrs. Su’s eyes light up.

Professor Li Weiyi was a nationally renowned expert in neurosurgery, and it was rumored that this year he even had a good chance of being added to the National Medical Research Institute High-level Expert Group.

To be mentored by him, Chi Yan’s future was immeasurable.

Mrs. Su stood up, “I’ll go consult with Mrs. Zhao to see if we can get Chi Gui to break off the engagement himself.”

With that, she went upstairs.

…

Zhao Yuexiu was naturally overjoyed when she received Mrs. Su’s call.

She had long wanted the marriage between Chi Yan and Su Qing to be settled sooner. But since Mrs. Su had never made her intentions clear before, Zhao Yuexiu did not dare to bring it up for fear of upsetting her.

Now that Mrs. Su had made it clear, Zhao Yuexiu didn’t care that it was already eleven o’clock at night; she directly called Chi Gui.

Her call was cut off after one ring.

It was then that Zhao Yuexiu remembered her number had long been blocked by Chi Gui.

She went to the study to discuss the matter with Chi Changjing.

Chi Changjing was naturally also delighted, although he felt a bit sorry for Chi Gui. But with Chi Gui’s qualifications, he could find her a decent man among Nancheng’s wealthy families to make up for it.

What was more important was that Chi Yan marrying into the Su Family would be nothing but beneficial to the Chi Family’s business development!

Chi Changjing immediately handed his phone to Zhao Yuexiu, letting her communicate with Chi Gui.

–

It was eleven o’clock at night.

Chi Gui was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly awakened by the ringing of her phone.

Still groggy with sleep and thinking it might be an emergency or surgery requiring her attention, she quickly picked up the call.

But what came through the phone was Zhao Yuexiu’s voice, “Chi Gui, come home tomorrow and break off the engagement with the Su Family!”

She commanded as soon as she spoke.

Chi Gui’s brow furrowed slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes.

Without saying a word, Zhao Yuexiu started to grow anxious, “Did you hear me? Your father and I are doing this for your own good. Who knows how you might end up dead if you marry into that kind of wealthy family? Better let Yanyan have it. After you graduate in a couple of years, your father will find you a good match in Nancheng…”

Chi Gui interrupted her impatiently, “You call me in the middle of the night just to say this?”

Zhao Yuexiu was taken aback, “What do you mean ‘this’? This matter is so important…”

“It’s important to Chi Yan, isn’t it?” Chi Gui sneered.

Being sick and woken up from a deep sleep had exhausted her patience, making her words sharp and pointed.

Zhao Yuexiu was taken aback by the retort, and then she snapped, “We’re all one family, isn’t it the same who it’s important for? If Yanyan soars to great heights in the future, won’t you, her sister, benefit too?”

Chi Gui instructed Little Guai to pour her a glass of water and rubbed her somewhat sore head, speaking indifferenttly, “Actually, I don’t want to drag this out either…”

Zhao Yuexiu brightened up, about to say something when she heard Chi Gui continue, “But if you insist on calling me in the middle of the night and annoying me… Then I’ll wait until I’m in a good mood to discuss it.”

With that, she hung up the call, blocking all of Zhao Yuexiu’s curses.

Zhao Yuexiu was furious, holding the phone and complaining to Chi Changjing in the study.

Outside the study.

Chi Yan and Chi Mingkun happened to pass by and heard Zhao Yuexiu’s words. Chi Mingkun wrinkled his nose in disgust.

“That country girl really has no shame, wanting to marry into a wealthy family without even seeing if she’s worthy!”

Chi Yan hung her head low and said nothing.

As long as the Su Family had a legitimate reason to break off the engagement…

–

The next morning.

When Chi Gui opened the door for Fu Si, she clearly wasn’t feeling well.

Fu Si placed the porridge and side dishes on the table, and seeing her condition, his brow furrowed slightly, “Has your fever not gone down yet?”

As he spoke, his long, handsome fingers reached out to touch Chi Gui’s forehead.
