The crowd present wore expressions of amusement, some with smug smiles while others eagerly anticipated the unfolding drama.
Chi Qiyun felt a surge of joy within her; she couldn't wait to see Du Hengyan get a thorough beating. Perhaps that would make Chi Mujiu heartbroken, and she could derive a twisted pleasure from it.
Chi Feng made no move to intervene, sitting coldly to the side. Seeing that their master remained silent, the bodyguards felt emboldened. They straightened their backs, their eyes gleaming with ferocity and confidence.
Although they were up against a man taller than them, who exuded an intimidating aura, they were trained bodyguards and relied on their numbers, dismissing Du Hengyan as no threat. In their minds, he was merely a male model—someone who looked good but lacked real strength, a pretty boy with no fighting capability.
With their expertise and numerical advantage, dealing with someone like him would be a piece of cake. Who dares to touch him today?!
Du Hengyan's veins bulged as he was about to make a move when he heard Chi Mujiu's furious voice from outside the door.
What audacity! Causing trouble in my house—didn't the security at the entrance stop you? Acting so recklessly!
Chi Mujiu strode into the room, her figure graceful yet radiating an imposing presence, her eyes ablaze with anger. Her exquisite features appeared even more striking due to her fury, making it hard for anyone to look her in the eye.
She scanned the room filled with her so-called relatives and family members, her gaze piercing as if she could see through their thoughts. With a swift motion, she threw the sauce she was holding onto the coffee table with a loud clatter, the sound echoing sharply in the quiet living room.
A few timid individuals jumped at the unexpected noise and fell silent. The previously noisy room became instantly hushed, everyone stunned by Chi Mujiu's sudden intensity.
Mujiu!
Chi Feng's expression darkened; he hadn't expected his daughter to appear with such an attitude, leaving him feeling somewhat embarrassed in front of everyone.
Dear, really? You brought all these chaotic people into my house?
Chi Mujiu walked directly towards Du Hengyan, her steps firm and resolute. She examined him closely for any signs of injury.
Are you okay?
Her voice softened but still carried a hint of tension.
No, this arrogant fool speaks as if he has swallowed something foul. Du Heng thought to himself that if this little woman had arrived even a moment later, everyone in the room would likely have been thrown to the wolves.
Chi Mu Jiu let out a cold snort, turned her head, and cast her gaze back at the crowd. "You dare to act recklessly in my home? Do you really think I, Chi Mu Jiu, am easy to bully? Let me tell you, as long as I am here, no one will lay a finger on him!"
Her voice was firm and resonated throughout the living room.
Chi Qi Yun couldn't help but speak up, "Sister, this is all your fault!"
Chi Mu Jiu shot her a cold glance. "Chi Qi Yun, you should shut that foul mouth of yours. Don’t think I’m unaware of your little schemes. Today, with the elders of the Chi family and the marriage negotiations happening here, you should consider your own role in this!"
"And you!"
Chi Mu Jiu pointed at the bodyguards, her eyes sharp as knives. "You are nothing but dogs of the Chi family. Do you really think that following someone’s orders gives you the right to act recklessly? The Chi family is not so easily ruled by a woman who came later!"
The crowd was intimidated by Chi Mu Jiu's imposing presence and dared not utter a word; even Chi Feng was momentarily speechless. He had never imagined that his daughter could possess such a fierce side.
