A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

After hanging up the phone that day, Chi Ruiche deliberately ignored them for a few days, sent Jiang Yi back to the company, and drove to the old house.

Grandpa Chi was sitting in the middle armchair, reviewing the company's financial statements for the year.

Behind it hangs a painting of an eagle titled "Soaring High," with sharp, piercing eyes and a majestic eagle soaring high above the mountains and rivers, its wings spread wide, exuding an aura of dominating the world.

A huge koi pond was dug out on one side of the living room, so that Grandpa Chi could feed the fish and watch them in the winter, thus passing the time.

The aroma of tea rose from the tea table, and the mahogany chairs were filled with "guests".

"Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle."

Chi Ruiche had a cold expression, and his straight posture in a pure black suit exuded a subtle kingly aura.

"President Chi is just President Chi, he doesn't see us at all." Zhao Chunlan shrugged, looking dissatisfied.

Chi Zhenwei secretly tugged at her sleeve, shook his head slightly, and glanced at his father, signaling Zhao Chunlan not to speak at this moment.

After Grandpa Chi finished reading the last page, he slowly picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Liu Fengni with gentle eyes. But when he looked at Chi Ruiche, his gaze suddenly became incredibly sharp.

"Xiao Che, the day after tomorrow is the Chi family banquet. I hope the whole family can be here with me for a meal."

Chi Ruiche stood there, looking down at the crowd, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"I will come."

"Xiao Che, Cheng Yu is still young, and he has suffered a lot these days. Can you please let him go for my sake?" Liu Fengni pleaded.

“Dad, Cheng Yu’s matter has become a societal issue, and it’s not something an individual can control.”

Chi Rui-che's second uncle, Chi Jing-an, stood up for his nephew, and today's performance was to kick off the show for Chi Rui-che.

Liu Fengni shook Grandpa Chi's arm, her expression filled with anxiety, "Ah Hai."

“Grandpa, in terms of status in Xijing, you are higher than me. I believe you will have a proper way to handle this matter concerning Chi Chengyu,” Chi Ruiche said.

Liu Fengni no longer cares about anyone.

"Xiao Che, I am willing to transfer my existing 5% stake in Chi's Company to you. I have already signed the transfer agreement, as long as you let Cheng Yu go."

Liu Fengni's eyes were filled with unease, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

“If you don’t agree, I have the right to take back the 30% stake you currently own.”

Grandpa Chi threatened, disregarding the expressions of those present.

"Brother, we are family. Now that you have achieved your goal, please be merciful and let me go."

Chi Chengling, acting like a good older brother, accused Chi Ruiche of using any means necessary to achieve his goals.

Chi Ruiche's father, Chi Jingwen, stood up and walked over to his son. "Cheng Ling, you're still young, there are some things you don't understand. Since the elders are here, listen to them."

Chi Jingwen has a pair of sharp, bright eyes beneath thick eyebrows, handsome features, fair skin, and the air of a refined scholar.

"Uncle, I was rude. I had to say a few words for my younger brother. I believe we are all family and he won't mind."

Chi Chengling smiled, but his brows were sharp.

"I have a recording of a statement here, let's listen to it together."

Chi Ruiche took out a USB drive, connected it to the speakers in the living room, and a sobbing female voice rang out in the living room.

“I am Yu Shuqing. What I am about to say can be used as a confession. I was instructed by Chi Chengling to restore the video that was originally destroyed.”

"The video played at the annual dinner was part of it. Later, they tried to frame Chi Ruiche, and Ms. Zhao Chunlan was also part of the plan. After it was done, he promised me the position of the young mistress of the Chi family."

Upon hearing this voice message, Zhao Chunlan could no longer sit still. She rushed over, grabbed Chi Chengling's clothes, and gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear him to pieces.

"No wonder Yu Shuqing kindly came to help me, saying that she was framing Jiang Yi and that no one cared about Cheng Yu's matter. It turns out she was just using me."

Zhao Chunlan's round face flushed red with anger, her eyebrows raised and eyes glaring.

"Second Aunt, how could I possibly harm Chengyu? You've misunderstood."

Chi Chengling raised his hand, feigning innocence to conceal his true feelings, and gently comforted Zhao Chunlan.

"Brother, you framed Chi Chengyu and then pinned the blame on Cheng Ling. What are your true intentions?"

Chi Chengting closed his phone, pushed up his glasses, and narrowed his long, narrow eyes.
