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!”

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…
