The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger
Chapter 374: City: The True Story of the Cold-hearted Patriarch Being Bewitched (7)
The people surrounding him dispersed a little, and through the mirror, You Mu saw the man waiting on the side.
This was a shop he picked at random. The man's well-dressed appearance did not fit in with the store, but in just a short while, he attracted a lot of customers to the store.
You Mu scratched his newly dyed hair, stood up, and without even moving his eyes away, he pushed the door open and got into the car that Xiao Liu was driving.
"Uh...Boss."
Xiao Liu, who was caught in the middle, felt a little embarrassed and bent down to ask Chi Zhen for his opinion.
"Let's drive back to the old house." Chi Yu stood up and left, straightened his tie, and motioned Xiao Liu to follow.
"Ok."
Assistant Chen turned around and left, leaving the car driven by Xiao Liu, which changed its destination and returned to the Chi family's old house.
In the back seat of the car, You Mu leaned to one side, his head against the window, his body language revealing that he refused to talk.
The space between two people can accommodate two more people if they squeeze in.
Chi Yu knew that she was upset because she remembered being beaten by him last night. He did not say much and dealt with the remaining documents.
The location of the old house is a bit remote. It is a garden mansion covering a large area. It was passed down from the ancestors of the Chi family. There are also several generations of ancestors who were granted titles of nobility in the family tree.
However, with the changing times, the former heyday is no longer there. The Chi family has many branches, but those who can stay in the old house are all descendants of the main branch.
Even so, the population is not small, so the position of head of the family is still retained in the family.
The plaque on the main entrance of the old house was written by the emperor himself. Although it has long been weathered and faded, the vigorous brushstrokes can still be seen.
This was You Mu's second time at the Chi family's old house, but the complex gardens still made him dizzy. He followed Chi Yu in silence.
Passing through the arched Moon Pavilion Gate, the two went directly to the courtyard where the old man lived.
During every festival, a reunion dinner is a must.
But now the rules of the family are different from those in the past. There are many people and they all have jobs, so it is rare for them to get together. The old man had to settle for the second best and asked that during the New Year holidays, the younger generations in the family should have a meal in his yard.
"Hello, little uncle."
The Chi family has many children. When Chi Zhen brought You Mu to the front hall, four or five youngsters were already sitting on the seats on both sides.
When he saw the person coming, he stood up and called the person according to the rules. After Chi Zhen nodded, he slowly sat down.
Among these people's peers, You Mu has beaten almost all of them except girls.
At the banquet, they were beaten one by one.
However, judging from the expressions of several people, it was obvious that the last beating had not been able to subdue them, especially Chi Xuanming who glared at him.
He is the child of the old man's second son Chi Hua. His mother had passed away long ago, and he had been raised by the old man and was spoiled. He had never encountered any setbacks since he was a child. He was beaten up by You Mu in front of everyone, so of course he was full of resentment.
Meeting the gaze of the boy who was glaring at him with his back to Chi Zhen, You Mu raised his eyes and challenged him back without any hesitation.
"Itchy skin?"
The silent lip movements were keenly captured by Chi Xuanming who was sitting next to them.
The anger that had been bubbling in his heart was instantly ignited, and he stood up and angrily said, "You are the one who is itching..."
The menacing voice caused people around to look at him sideways.
Facing the oppressive gaze of his uncle, Chi Xuanming instantly lost interest and sat down awkwardly like a deflated ball.
"I'm going to go see the old man. Sit here first."
After arranging You Mu to sit down, Chi Zhen withdrew his gaze and went inside to look for someone.
"You wait!" The elders left, but Chi Xuanming did not dare to shout loudly in his grandfather's room. He imitated You Mu's lip reading and uttered harsh words viciously.
Unfortunately, these harsh words could not be conveyed, and the golden-haired man opposite did not even look at him.
Chi Xuanming was so angry that he stamped his feet secretly. He was reminded by his cousin beside him and sat upright on the Arhat chair.
"You all came in a complete group today. Usually you all have your own classes, so it's hard to see each other. Come on, why are you all sitting here? Let's go eat." The old man was supported by a young man and walked out from behind a screen on the side with a cane. When he raised his eyes and saw You Mu's eye-catching hair, he paused before looking away and continued speaking.
Chi Zhen followed diagonally behind and motioned You Mu, who was sitting on the side, to follow him.
Everyone moved from the main hall to the banquet table on the other side. Various dishes had been placed on the round table, and the nanny was still serving the dishes in an orderly manner.
The old man sat in the main seat, and Chi Yu naturally sat in the adjacent seat on the east, and conveniently placed You Mu next to him.
The young man who came with the old man was seated on the other side by the old man himself. Although the other juniors were not very satisfied with the seating arrangement, they had no room for doubt and silently took seats according to the order of seniority.
The Chi family has a strict family tradition. The sounds of cups and chopsticks clinking against each other at the dining table and of chewing and swallowing are very quiet.
"By the way, I forgot to ask last night, how is the girl from the Xu family?" After finishing half of a bowl of rice, the old man finally got to the point.
The rule of not talking while eating and not talking while sleeping only applies to the younger generation. When the elders ask questions, it is natural to answer them according to the rules.
"I heard that You Mu was there at the time. He must have met Miss Xu. What do you think?" Without waiting for Chi Zhen's reply, the old man immediately set his eyes on You Mu.
After being called, You Mu put down his chopsticks and glanced at the man next to him.
While picking up the food, Chi Jin's eyes twitched and he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he heard the familiar words from the child beside him.
"Ms. Xu, she is very good."
“Since he is so outstanding, why chase him away? How can you, a child who is ignorant, hinder you...hinder his marriage!” His tone suddenly became low. Grandpa Chi had lived for a long time and knew what kind of attitude to use to oppress the younger generation.
Unable to think of a good title, and not wanting the Chi family to have anything to do with You Mu, the old man paused for a moment and changed the reference.
"And you, how old is this kid, and you're already thinking about teaching him how to manage a company?" Old Master Chi thought that the words that You Mu said in the cafe were taught by Chi Zhen.
There are so many young people in your family, but you have to take care of one who is not related to you by blood. It’s not right!
Chi Zhen lowered his head and said nothing as he ate his meal, occasionally picking up some food for the children beside him. Although the children might not eat all of the food he picked up, there was always something they found palatable.
Seeing that Chi Zhen ignored him, the old man softened his tone and urged her to get married as usual.
"Since this kid thinks he's good, why not get to know him more? You're not a kid anymore..."
"I don't like it." Chi Yu picked up the dish and refused.
"You don't like this, you don't like that, Chi Zhen, can you find a fairy?" As soon as these words came out, the old man put down his bowl, his tone full of blame and dissatisfaction.
"Grandpa, calm down. My uncle just hasn't met the right person yet. Marriage is not clear. You can't force it." The young man next to the old man quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks and reached out to help the old man pat his back to calm down.
"...You are the one who makes me less worried." Old Master Chi sighed, drank the tea handed to him by the young man, and suppressed the anger that suddenly rose in his head.
He glanced at his grandson beside him, changed his mind, and changed the subject of his youngest son's blind date to You Mu who was beside him.
"How is Chi Yuan doing now? It's a bit unreasonable to leave this child in the Chi family. After all, he is the blood of the Song family. What are you going to do..."
"Father, eat the food first." Chi Zhen used the serving chopsticks to put the food on the old man's plate and interrupted the old man's conversation.
"...Chi Yu, you can't always keep the Song family's child. In the past few days, the Song family has called me many times, gossiping a lot. We have no right..."
His words were interrupted. The old man knew that Chi Zhen must have promised Chi Yuan something and received some benefits, but You Mu's background was complicated, and there was really no need for their Chi family to get involved with the Song family.
"He won't go back to the Song family."
"You are so powerful now. You have interrupted me twice in a row. Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?" He put down the bowl he had just picked up again. The porcelain bowl landed on the solid wooden table. The dull sound made the young people opposite him who were concentrating on eating pause.
"Uncle, please don't make grandpa angry." The young man next to the old man hurriedly comforted him and tried to mediate the dispute.
"Father, you don't need to interfere in his affairs. As for the Song family, just ignore them. Why bother to go and listen?" Chi Zhen ignored the young man's persuasion and ignored it completely.
He knew what the old man was thinking. He simply felt that You Mu was a disobedient child and that his special status meant he could not be restrained by the family's rules.
But the person was right under his nose. Even though You Mu was following him and didn't bother him, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about him, and he felt uncomfortable just looking at him, and he always wanted to get rid of the peace and quiet.
Furthermore, the old man did not know the specific content of the agreement with Chi Yuan, but he was clear that the 5% stake had already fallen into his hands.
The old man's original plan to re-arrange the ownership of the inheritance after Chi Yuan's death fell through, and he blamed You Mu.
"Are you really going to piss me off to death?"
"If you worry less every day, you may live longer."
"you!"
The old man was breathing heavily with anger, and was about to slam his wrinkled hands on the table to vent his anger but was stopped by the people around him. He looked at his grandson beside him and put aside the issue of You Mu's belonging for the time being.
"You are the head of the family, and I am an old man, and I cannot discipline you! Let's forget about the child's matter... Since you already have one, you might as well take Xiaoqiu with you. One or two can both be raised. Let Xiaoqiu go to the company for an internship in advance so that she can help you in the future." He originally planned to transfer Chi Yuan's shares to Xiaoqiu, but Xiaoqiu would get too little due to the generation gap.
He always felt that Xiaoqiu had been raised outside with her biological mother for the past ten years, and he owed them both a debt of gratitude.
"No." Seeing out of the corner of his eye that the child seemed unable to pick up his favorite dish, Chi Yu held down Chi Xuanming's hand that was turning the table, and put a piece of eggplant stuffed with fermented rice and meat on his plate.
"Grandpa, I don't need it. I know my status is too low and I don't deserve these. It doesn't matter. I'm satisfied to be with you." Chi Qiu, who was called, lowered his head, eased the old man's arm, and shook his head sensibly to refuse.
Glancing at the fleeting smugness in Chi Qiu's eyes, Chi Qie could tell whether he was pretending to be indifferent or truly indifferent.
Chi Qiu's status in the Chi family was, to be honest, even more embarrassing than the children he raised. Outsiders didn't know, but how could they, the Chi family, not know?
At least the child’s parents are clear and he has a name and surname, there is no doubt about that.
Chi Qiu is the old man’s grandson in name but his youngest son in private.
