He was convinced that it was this man who had seduced his daughter; otherwise, how could someone of her status possibly be interested in such a lowly individual?
Chi Feng cleared his throat, breaking the silence first with a harsh tone. "You are the male model that Mu Jiu brought back from abroad?"
His words dripped with disdain and accusation.
Du Hengyan slightly raised his gaze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, yet he remained silent, as if Chi Feng's questions were utterly meaningless to him.
This silent indifference only fueled Chi Feng's anger, darkening his expression further.
Meanwhile, one of the guests in the living room was about to take a closer look at a piece of blue-and-white porcelain displayed on a shelf when Du Hengyan's icy voice cut through the air like frost. "That blue-and-white porcelain is valued at sixteen million. I hope you consider whether you can afford to pay for it before you touch it."
His words startled everyone present.
All eyes immediately turned to the porcelain, filled with shock and disbelief.
A decorative piece worth over ten million? This was beyond their imagination.
Someone couldn't help but murmur, "That's terrifying! A single piece of blue-and-white porcelain is so expensive. Does that mean everything in this house is off-limits?"
Those who had been preparing to handle other decorations in the living room flinched and quickly withdrew their hands, as if those items had suddenly become scalding hot potatoes.
Fear and embarrassment washed over their faces, terrified that one careless move could lead to an irreparable loss.
The previously casual atmosphere shifted to one of tension and restraint; everyone stood frozen in place, afraid to make any sudden moves.
"Just because you say it's worth tens of millions doesn't mean you have the right to speak here!" The person being addressed felt humiliated and furious. His face flushed red with anger and disdain, as if he needed such an expression to preserve what little dignity he had left.
"Exactly! Why didn't you answer when Chi asked you something just now? I thought you were mute!" another chimed in, their tone laced with reproach and dissatisfaction.
"Oh, it seems you don't care about your family at all. Looks like Mu Jiu doesn't regard you as her father either!"
With that remark, another voice chimed in sarcastically, dripping with provocation.
Indeed, it seemed that Chi Mu Jiu had no sense of propriety, and the wild man she brought back was just as unruly. I couldn't help but think that he was all show and no substance. What kind of man engages in such fleshly trades? Was Chi Mu Jiu really taken in by this?
Du Hengyan sat on the sofa, listening to the mocking taunts of these people who thrived on their power over others. It appeared that the little one was indeed the center of attention at home; otherwise, she wouldn't be so eager to move out.
The faces of these people were so vile, attacking and belittling others by any means necessary for their own interests and so-called family rules. Where was Mu Jiu? Why hadn't she come out after being home for so long? Was she hiding?
"Chi Mu Jiu!! Chi Mu Jiu!!! You unruly girl, come out at once!" Aunt Chi shouted sharply towards the staircase on the second floor, her voice booming as if it could bring the entire house down.
It was deafening! She wasn't even here. Du Hengyan frowned tightly; his patience had reached its limit.
Upon hearing that Chi Mu Jiu was absent, Ji Yuyan's worries vanished, replaced by a smirk of triumph and malice on her face. "You lot, throw this filthy man out! Make sure he never shows his face in the city again. Better yet, break his legs so he can't take care of himself in his next life."
With her command, several bodyguards from the Chi family stepped forward. Each one was burly, muscular, and wore a serious, cold expression as they advanced towards Du Hengyan, as if he were a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
