The early autumn breeze carried a hint of coolness, as if whispering tales of the passage of time and change. The car came to a stop in another section of the cemetery.
Chi Mu Jiu remembered that this place had once been where Chi Feng helped arrange for the burial of Ji Yu Yan's late husband. She was still young then, but not so young that she couldn't remember.
Time had passed, and everything had changed.
"Miss Chi is here! Miss Chi!"
"Quick, quick! Follow her with the camera!"
As soon as the car came to a halt, reporters surged forward like a pack of hungry wolves, surrounding the luxury vehicle, eager to capture the most valuable news.
Ning Chen opened the door for her, while the other brothers stood guard in front, preventing the frenzied reporters from advancing any further.
Chi Mu Jiu stepped out gracefully, a faint smile gracing her delicate features. She wore a simple yet elegant black long dress, and her coat added an extra touch of sophistication. Her hair danced lightly in the wind, making her appear like a beauty stepping out of a painting.
"Miss Chi! We haven't seen you in public since the last press conference. Where have you been?"
"Miss Chi, your sudden appearance today—what is it for?"
"The Chi family seems to be falling apart; will you be taking over?"
"What undisclosed secrets lie between you and Miss Chi?"
Faced with the barrage of questions from the reporters, Chi Mu Jiu showed no sign of wanting to respond or get angry. Instead, she spoke calmly.
"Today, all of you present are renowned media reporters. I invited you here to give you a headline."
At the mention of big news and gossip, murmurs spread among the crowd. Then another reporter asked,
"Miss Chi, is today's news related to the Chi family? We heard that Miss Chi brought someone to your mother's grave; are you here for that reason as well?"
Chi Mu Jiu narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of mystery and coldness flickering within them. Ning Chen and Jin Su immediately gestured for everyone to step back.
At that moment, behind her, a car pulled up, and Chi Ciyun was forcibly escorted out. Her face was filled with terror and anger.
Following closely, another car arrived, and Ji Yuyan emerged in a similar manner, also being led this way. Ji Yuyan's complexion was pale, her eyes reflecting the same fear and despair.
When the mother and daughter caught sight of each other, shock flickered in their eyes. The sound of camera shutters echoed around them, resembling the clamor of a fierce battle. This was undoubtedly explosive news!
The reporters and photographers seemed eager to wear out their shutter buttons, terrified of missing any thrilling moment. Just moments ago, a reporter had mentioned that his sister had brought people to their mother's grave.
"I'll be straightforward," he said. "My dear sister has no blood relation to the Chi family; she is the daughter of Madam Ji and her late husband."
Chi Mu Jiu spoke nonchalantly about it all, but the crowd of reporters below was already in a frenzy.
Indeed, this was a major scoop! There had been rumors circulating for some time, but they had been suppressed later on, leading everyone to believe they were false. However, today, Chi Mu Jiu directly addressed the media in front of so many people, which undoubtedly confirmed the previous speculation.
Seeing the reaction of the crowd only pleased Chi Mu Jiu further. My dear sister had just wanted to desecrate our mother's grave.
Her voice gradually turned cold as she continued, "So now I must complete what she failed to do earlier."
With that, her tone shifted sharply, her gaze turning icy. The reporters sensed that an even bigger story was about to unfold.
At that moment, a group of strong men emerged from the cemetery. Among them, a man at the forefront held a square black box in his hands.
An urn.
