Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Not Worth the Trouble

Chi Mingkun, straightforward and dissatisfied, said, “She just arrived in Nancheng and couldn’t wait to move out of our house. She doesn’t want to associate with us… This time, Dad had already informed her in advance to attend Grandpa Li’s banquet, yet she didn’t suggest coming to our house early to head here together. Instead, she insisted that we pick her up.”

Chi Yan quickly tugged at Chi Mingkun’s sleeve, apologizing, “Grandpa Li, it’s my fault too… If my gown hadn’t had issues, and I could have left home earlier, then I could have picked up my sister…”

Old Sir Li frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure crossing his eyes as he said indifferently, “It’s not your fault, she is just too arrogant and willful.”

Though he and Yin Yue had once been close friends, it had been thirty years since they last met, and their affection had naturally faded.

He had thought that today, upon meeting her granddaughter, if she proved herself capable, he might, out of consideration for their past friendship, ask the Fu Family or Shen Family in Capital City to secure a bright future for Chi Gui.

But now, seeing her character… it wasn’t worth the trouble.

Zhao Yuexiu smiled and changed the subject, “Let’s not talk about that. Uncle Li, Yanyan has been accepted as a student by Professor Li Weiyi. She’ll be going to his hospital to intern in the latter half of this year!”

“Really?” Old Sir Li’s face lit up with joy as he looked at Chi Yan with admiration.

Professor Li Weiyi was eligible this year to join the national senior researchers’ expert group, an undisputed leader in the field of neurosurgical disorders in the country.

Each year, countless students hoped to be taken under his wing. For Chi Yan to be selected by him was a truly magnificent achievement!

What’s more important, it’s possible that in the future she could enter the expert group ahead of time through Professor Li’s recommendation.

Mrs. Su also smiled and said, “I heard from someone that our country has a prodigy who was selected for the national senior research academy’s expert group at just over twenty years old. With Yanyan’s high talent and hard work, getting in shouldn’t be a problem for her.”

This statement immediately sparked everyone’s curiosity.

“Who is that person?” Zhao Yuexiu couldn’t help asking.

Mrs. Su waved her hand, “I’m not sure about the details. That kid keeps a low profile, refusing all media interviews and focusing solely on medical research. Now, they only treat those top elites and officials in Capital City; ordinary people can’t even request their services.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yuexiu couldn’t help but express her envy, “I wonder whose child it is, being so outstanding.”

Although Chi Yan was already excellent, compared to such a genius, she seemed considerably more ordinary.

Chi Yan bit her lip, her fists clenching slightly.

Old Sir Li sighed, “Such talent is rare by chance… Once Yanyan goes to Capital City next year, with some effort, she still might catch up.”

After a few more exchanged pleasantries, the butler came up to report, “Miss Chi Gui requests to see you.”

Old Sir Li waved his hand, saying indifferently, “No need, just say I’m tired and it’s not convenient to see guests.”

The butler left.

Chi Yan lowered her head, slightly relieved.

Downstairs.

Chi Gui stood calmly at the staircase entrance, her bodyguard standing loyally behind her.

Her skin was naturally fair, and her light blue dress further accentuated her inherent qualities. Her black hair was casually tied up, revealing her fair face and beautiful almond-shaped eyes. Although she was plainly dressed and just standing quietly there, people around her couldn’t help but keep their eyes on her.

Some were already quietly inquiring about her background.

Soon, the butler came downstairs and conveyed Old Sir Li’s message.

Her bodyguard slightly furrowed his brow, about to speak.

Chi Gui raised her left hand, stopping him, and politely nodded, “Alright, thank you for the effort.”

“Of course,” the butler quickly replied.

He looked at the young woman in front of him, feeling very fond of her, especially considering the bodyguard behind her, clearly not someone ordinary people could afford to hire…

Unfortunately…

The butler sighed, Old Sir Li’s dislike meant all efforts were futile.
