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.

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—no 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...?"
