Chapter 83: Chapter 83: May I Ask Who Your Girlfriend Is?
She paused, then continued, “From now on, whether it’s the Chi Family or the Su Family, they have nothing to do with me. You must not tell anyone about your relationship with me. Apart from matters related to my grandmother, you must not contact me in any way. Can you do that?”
Mrs. Su couldn’t help but laugh, “Don’t worry, we have no interest in affiliating ourselves with you.”
Zhao Yuexiu didn’t think twice and nodded directly, “Yes.”
A mocking flicker passed through Su Qing’s cold eyes.
Chi Mingkun sneered mercilessly, “A country girl really thinks she’s some important figure!”
“Alright, brother, that’s enough…” Chi Yan urged with her mouth, but her eyes also carried a smile.
...
Except for the silent Chi Changjing, everyone thought Chi Gui was simply laughable.
Chi Gui’s expression remained calm.
She nodded, her eyes pitch-black, “Deal sealed.”
Before Mrs. Su could say anything, Zhao Yuexiu eagerly pulled out paper and a pen from her bag and slapped them on the table, “Write it down!”
Chi Gui’s slender fingers picked up the pen and quickly wrote a few lines, then signed her name.
After that, she dropped the pen and left the private room without turning back.
Xingu was waiting outside and whispered when he saw Chi Gui emerge, “Professor Chi, Mr. Fu has arrived.”
Chi Gui: ?
Why would he attend such a banquet?
–
In the private room.
Chi Changjing looked at Chi Gui’s handwriting in shock.
He had thought that someone like Chi Gui, who disliked studying and came from a rural area, would have at most neat handwriting.
But the handwriting before him was elegant and graceful, surpassing the handwriting of anyone he had ever seen!
Chi Changjing was still in a daze, and Zhao Yuexiu had already picked up the note and, without even looking at it, handed it straight to Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su smiled, said nothing, and put the note in her bag.
Both families felt relieved to be rid of such a burden and were in good spirits, chuckling as they left.
Mrs. Su: “When I get back, I’ll discuss with my husband, and let’s finalize the marriage between Su Qing and Chi Yan!”
In the past, if it were a marriage to Chi Yan, Mrs. Su would have considered it further.
But Chi Yan had already been chosen as a disciple by Professor Li Weiyi.
It was certain that Li Weiyi would join the high-level medical expert group at the National Research Institute this year, and in time, as his chosen disciple, Chi Yan would join the Expert Group without issue.
Those who could enter the Expert Group were individuals who had made significant contributions to the nation and even the world. Not to mention the honor that brought glory to the family, the connections enabling casual contact with the top tier families of Capital City and even beyond brought immense benefits to the Su Family.

Second floor.
Still, that luxurious and chic reception room.
Old Sir Li respectfully poured tea for the man sitting in the superior position, his words filled with cautious flattery, “Mr. Fu, I didn’t expect you to personally attend my birthday celebration. Truly an honor that graces my humble abode!”
Fu Sixiu’s long fingers held the teacup. He was unusually dressed in formal attire, wearing glasses, his demeanor gentle and scholarly like a nobleman from a prestigious family, but the slightly upturned phoenix eyes added a sharpness to him, making him intimidating to look directly at.
At those words, Fu Si chuckled lightly, “You flatter me, Mr. Li. As a relative of my girlfriend, it was only natural for me to e.”
Girlfriend?
Old Sir Li was immediately shocked, “May I ask who your girlfriend is?”
With a slight lift of his eyebrows and a lazy tone in his voice, carrying a hint of boasting, Fu Si said, “The young Miss from the Chi Family.”
Old Sir Li was taken aback again but then surged with excitement.
He hadn’t expected Chi Yan to be so fortunate, not only favored by Professor Li Weiyi but also attracting Mr. Fu’s attention!
“Ah!” Old Sir Li grinned from ear to ear, “Indeed! She’s truly a good girl! She’s downstairs right now. I’ll call her up!”
