Chapter 490: Chapter 489

Chi Mingkun: “With so many people accompanying Ruoxi, shouldn’t I go and show some concern for my sister who has just returned from abroad?”

Of course, that would be appropriate.

If this were Chi Yan, Zhao Yuexiu would definitely leave Chi Ruoxi behind and go herself, but Chi Gui…

A fortune-teller once predicted that Chi Gui would bring about a great change for the Chi Family. So when Chi Gui was born, Zhao Yuexiu didn’t even glance at her and immediately sent her off to the countryside.

That discard lasted for over twenty years until Chi Gui’s grandmother passed away, and only then, due to the old lady’s will, was Chi Gui brought back.

Zhao Yuexiu had no affection for Chi Gui, to begin with.

If Chi Gui could be as obedient and ambitious as Chi Yan or Chi Ruoxi, she wouldn’t mind reconnecting and rebuilding their relationship.

But with Chi Gui as she is now, Zhao Yuexiu just thinking about it felt ashamed, afraid that others would know of Chi Gui’s relation to the Chi Family, so how could she be willing to see her?

“Ming Kun, Mom is doing this for your own good,” said Chi Yan, bringing several cups of tea from the kitchen, her voice gentle, “You’re twenty years old already, about to graduate from college and enter society. Effective socializing benefits your career development.”

Wasn’t the subtext of her words that his association with Chi Gui was meaningless?

Chi Mingkun knew that his family had substantial prejudice against Chi Gui, but he hadn’t expected that they would be so reluctant to even consider the truth.

“No, Mom, sister, can’t you have a little faith in her? She’s really much better than you think!” Chi Mingkun said, “Not to mention anything else, she’s already joined the Huaxia National Team. Isn’t the development in the racing world good?”

Zhao Yuexiu scoffed disdainfully: “What good is it for a girl to play with race cars? Let alone just being in the bottom-ranked Huaxia Race Team. Even if she were truly talented, what use would it be? Show me which wealthy young master with decent conditions would marry such a woman?”

“If my sister were really doing well in the racing world, why would she come to the Jewelry Association to register for a basic assessment?” Chi Yan said softly, her eyes downcast, “Brother, I don’t know what sister has told you, but if someone is genuinely prospering in a particular industry, they wouldn’t just switch careers.”

Chi Mingkun, unconvinced: “Can’t someone be so capable that they can switch fields?”

At this, Chi Yan burst into laughter: “If sister really had that much strength, then why hasn’t she gone to college, and why is she still in the countryside at the age of twenty? As far as I know, capable people are scouted out early.”

Chi Mingkun was immediately at a loss for words.

His mind was not so meticulous, nor did he think too much; he simply liked to be with whoever he liked.

Having been with Chi Gui for so long, he sometimes had doubts, but he soon dismissed them, so much so that now, feeling there was something wrong with what Chi Yan said, he still couldn’t find the words to argue back.

Chi Mingkun struggled for a while, only able to leave behind the words: “Think whatever you want! Just don’t regret it later!”

Then he hurriedly went upstairs to grab his things.

“Your brother is going to be the death of me!” Zhao Yuexiu exclaimed, patting her chest, “I have no idea how that wild girl has bewitched him; he can’t even discern nonsense anymore! As for our regret, I think he’s the one who will regret it in the future!”

A flicker in Chi Yan’s eyes, she gently poured a cup of tea for Zhao Yuexiu.

The racing event hosted by Chi Yun took place at a large racing club in Capital City, where the grandstand alone could accommodate ten thousand people, making it the primary choice for major events in Capital City.

When Chi Gui arrived, there were only a few hundred spectators in the stands, many of whom were family or fans of the competitors.

She waited by the entrance for a moment until she saw Lu You’s car driving up.
