The pink diamond isn't worth much, just a few hundred million. My man bought it for me. Isn't your boyfriend from the Lei family? With their wealth, rings at this price must be a dime a dozen.
Chi Mu Jiu raised her hand, letting the pink diamond sparkle even more brilliantly under the light. Her words seemed casual, yet they carried an underlying sharpness that pierced through the air.
The glow of the diamond seemed to narrate her pride and confidence, while simultaneously acting like a dagger that stabbed straight into Chi Qi Yun's heart.
Chi Feng, upon hearing Chi Mu Jiu's words, instinctively glanced at Chi Qi Yun, his eyes pondering something.
As the head of the family, he was always calculating the interests of their clan. If what Chi Mu Jiu said was true, and Lei Ji was unwilling to provide for Chi Qi Yun, then the Lei family would not be seen as the best match for a business alliance in Chi Feng's eyes.
After all, in his perspective, marriage was often an exchange of benefits; only when both parties could bring sufficient advantages to their families did such unions hold value.
Chi Qi Yun panicked; she never expected that Chi Mu Jiu's few words would raise her father's suspicions. She hurriedly explained, "I was just joking, sister, don’t take it seriously. Young Master Lei has been good to me; he’s been looking at a property recently and said he wants to gift it to me."
Her voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of nervousness. She knew she had to dispel her father's doubts quickly.
"Yes, Young Master Lei treats Qi Yun very well, buying this and that. Every time he visits, he brings plenty of gifts for your father," Ji Yu Yan naturally chimed in. She knew she had to support her daughter at this moment. She understood Chi Feng's temperament well; he valued family interests and status above all.
If Chi Qi Yun lost the support of the Lei family, then their positions in the Chi family would be precarious.
"Oh, that's good then. I was worried about you losing both money and love," Chi Mu Jiu said with a smile, waving her hand dismissively as a relaxed expression spread across her face.
Her smile carried a hint of mockery, seemingly ridiculing Chi Qi Yun's hypocrisy and pretense.
It seemed I was overthinking things.
Chi Mu Jiu's words weighed heavily on Chi Qi Yun's heart. She realized that Chi Mu Jiu was deliberately provoking her, yet she found herself unable to retort.
Chi Qi Yun forced a smile but inwardly vowed: You won’t be laughing for long!
Seeing Chi Qi Yun react this way, Chi Feng dismissed his earlier thoughts.
He nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his expression. However, he did not notice the glimmer of cunning that flashed in the eyes of Chi Ciyun and her daughter, Ji Yuyan.
At that moment, a maid hurriedly approached. "Master, Madam Ji, the young master of the Su family has arrived."
The announcement was like a stone thrown into a still lake, instantly creating ripples throughout the hall.
The Su family? Chi Mujiu furrowed her brow, filled with confusion. Her father had clearly called her back to sign the share transfer agreement; why was the Su family visiting at this moment? What was really going on? Her mind raced as she sought any clues from this sudden turn of events.
"Quickly invite Young Master Su in; we've been waiting for him!" Ha ha ha!
Upon hearing the servant's report, Chi Feng's mood instantly brightened, his hearty laughter echoing in the spacious hall.
Chi Mujiu couldn't help but murmur to herself; hadn't he just said they were only waiting for her? Now it seemed they were only waiting for someone from the Su family.
Though Ji Yuyan and Chi Ciyun remained silent, the triumphant expressions on their faces were unmistakable.
As soon as Chi Feng's words fell, a man dressed in simple yet elegant attire entered through the door. It was none other than Su Siyi, the young master of the Su family.
