Chapter 636 - 636: You Are Not as Awesome as Sister Chi, Not as Important as Her, So Nobody Chooses You

Mrs. Guo from across the table hesitated upon hearing her question and then sighed softly, whispering, “Mrs. Su, I’m not entirely clear on the specifics. I only heard from my husband that it seems you’ve offended our nation’s newly appointed Academician? Oh dear! That Academician has no ordinary status! You can’t blame us… Running a business isn’t easy, we simply can’t afford any mishaps…”

Mrs. Guo was speaking euphemistically, but Yin Xiuxiu understood perfectly.

She hung up the phone without saying a word, feeling only a stifled frustration trapped in her chest.

Soon, the car arrived at the Su Family residence.

Yin Xiuxiu was the first to slam the door of the car shut and stride into the house on her high heels.

Su Qing followed closely behind her, his face equally chilled with fright.

Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan were somewhat nervous as they trailed behind both of them.

They had heard what Mrs. Guo just said, and it was they who had targeted Chi Gui earlier at the event.

In the living room, Old Sir Su was still unaware of what had happened and was cheerfully directing the servants to prepare for the engagement ceremony of Su Qing and Chi Yan the following week.

Seeing that the four of them had returned with grim expressions, Old Sir Su’s face grew somber, “What’s happened?”

The faces of the four were grim, finding it terribly difficult to speak of the events that had unfolded at the venue.

Just then, Su Haikang and Chi Changjing rushed in as well, phones in hand.

Upon entering, Su Haikang immediately asked Yin Xiuxiu in a stern voice, “What happened at the venue? Why have all the distinguished guests called to say they can’t attend Su Qing’s engagement ceremony next Wednesday?”

Old Sir Su’s face darkened upon hearing Su Haikang’s words.

Seeing this, Yin Xiuxiu knew she could no longer hide it and recounted all that had occurred at the venue.

Everyone else in the hall was shocked after hearing her story!

Chi Gui was actually that Academician?!

To think that they had personally ejected a national Academician… Old Sir Su, Su Haikang, and Chi Changjing’s hearts felt as if they were clogged with cotton—deeply uncomfortable.

Chi Yan, observing everyone’s remorseful looks, pursed her lips tightly and muttered softly, “I never imagined the first thing my sister would do as an Academician would be to use her status to prevent those big shots from attending my engagement ceremony, just to embarrass me.”

Chi Mingkun, who had driven his own car and lagged behind, couldn’t help but speak out upon hearing Chi Yan disparage Chi Gui, “Cut it out! With Sister Chi’s status and position, does she need to say or do anything? Those big shots probably took the initiative to find out everything about her as soon as they got the news! Those who want to curry favor with her naturally won’t choose to side with you.”

In a nutshell, the message was: You’re not as impressive as Sister Chi, not as important, hence they didn’t choose you.

Chi Yan’s face turned even uglier.

Zhao Yuexiu immediately felt a rush of sympathy and scolded Chi Mingkun, “How can you speak to your sister like that?”

Old Sir Su sighed, “Chi is right. Having done business your whole lives, do you really not understand even this basic principle?”

This was the first time Old Sir Su had spoken harshly to them since the two families became close.

Chi Changjing, Zhao Yuexiu, and Chi Yan all felt a jolt of discomfort at the bottom of their hearts.

Chi Changjing looked tentatively at Old Sir Su and tested the waters, “Old Sir, about the children’s engagement ceremony…”

Old Sir Su waved his hand, his voice slightly cold, “Let’s put it on hold for now… With things having escalated like this, it would look bad to rush it.”
