Ye Zong, Ye Jue.
He was the heir of the most prestigious business family in the city, his status incredibly noble and his power at its peak.
A wave of intense shock surged through Chi Feng's heart; he never expected that this esteemed Ye Zong would personally visit.
It was truly beyond anyone's imagination. What could possibly compel him to lower himself to such a degree?
Various thoughts raced through Chi Feng's mind. Could it be related to the matter at hand?
As this idea crossed his mind, an icy chill crept up his spine.
If the Ye family discovered that he had meticulously orchestrated this drama and staged such a farce, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The entire Chi family would likely face utter destruction!
Just as Chi Feng and the others were still reeling from their shock, a gentle and elegant voice floated in:
"Chi Family Head, your home is truly lively."
Everyone turned their heads to see several burly bodyguards with sharp eyes surrounding Ye Jue as he slowly walked through the door of the Chi residence.
Ye Jue's steps were steady, and his exquisite suit accentuated his nobility and distinction.
"Ye Zong? What brings you here?"
Chi Feng's face was filled with astonishment; he dared not pay attention to his drink and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Ye Jue.
At that moment, Chi Mu Jiu also heard the commotion and forcefully smashed a precious national treasure wine bottle onto the marble floor of the restaurant.
With a loud crash followed by a crisp sound, the shattering glass echoed through the air.
Chi Feng's heart jolted painfully. That wine was worth a fortune, yet he didn’t dare to look back even for a moment because standing before him was someone far more difficult to please than this wine.
Hearing the sound of the bottle breaking, Ye Jue slightly furrowed his brow but quickly regained his composure, seemingly unbothered by it.
However, when his gaze fell on Chi Mu Jiu and noticed the blood seeping from the scratch on her fair arm, his expression darkened noticeably.
If the boss found out, wouldn’t he be heartbroken?
"It seems I arrived just in time to catch this good show," Ye Jue remarked as he surveyed the chaotic scene in the restaurant.
His voice was neither too high nor too low, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"Please excuse me, Mr. Ye. My little girl is just being mischievous and throwing a bit of a tantrum."
Despite Ye Jue being several generations younger, Chi Feng still spoke with utmost respect.
In this world, power and wealth reigned supreme; everything else held no value. Chi Feng understood this well, which is why he dared not show any signs of disrespect in front of Ye Jue.
At that moment, Chi Mu Jiu also lightly leaped down from the wine cabinet, her beautiful eyes still filled with anger.
Ye Jue merely smiled and did not engage with Chi Feng further.
Chi Qiyun and Ji Yuyan knew better than to interject in such a situation; they could only stand quietly to the side, watching anxiously alongside the servants of the Chi family.
"Miss Chi, you’re hurt," Ye Jue said as he directly bypassed Chi Feng and walked toward Chi Mu Jiu.
Su Siyu stood nearby, unsure of what to say or do, feeling somewhat awkward.
"It’s just a scratch; it’s nothing serious. Mr. Ye, I apologize for making you witness this," she replied.
As she spoke, Chi Mu Jiu finally took a closer look at her wound.
To say it was just a scratch was an understatement; while the wound wasn't deep, it wasn't shallow either. Dried blood trickled down her arm, and the injury began to throb with pain.
She bit her lip to suppress her discomfort, not wanting to appear weak in front of so many people.
Ye Jue noticed the obvious tension in the air and said, "Miss Chi, there's no need to be so polite. I came here because I hadn’t heard from you regarding the collaboration on the bookmarks for some time. I didn’t expect to stumble upon such a dramatic scene."
Hearing this, Chi Mu Jiu let out a light laugh. Standing amidst the chaos, her expression was resolute and determined.
"I'm afraid I might disappoint you regarding the collaboration," she said firmly.
As soon as those words left her lips, Chi Feng immediately turned his gaze toward Chi Mu Jiu, his eyes questioning why she would choose this moment to speak such words.
