After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 161

She gave a very soft "hmm".

Even so, Chi Anruo still heard it clearly!

"Yize! I knew you cared about me, as for the others..." Chi Anruo paused, suddenly stopping her lunge at the man, and turned to look at An Jiuxi, who was sitting to the side with a not-so-good expression.

Seeing that she was pursing her lips tightly, he assumed that An Jiuxi was angry.

Chi Anruo's smugness grew even stronger. She raised her hand to smooth her hair and gave An Jiuxi a provocative smile. "Miss An, don't be angry. After all, Yize and I are childhood sweethearts. It's not something we can just do casually."

An Jiuxi's tightly pursed lips were purely because she was trying to suppress a laugh, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing when she slapped herself.

She just didn't expect that other people would see it as her being in pain!

"Miss Chi's identity is naturally extraordinary."

An Jiuxi smiled and nodded in agreement, then looked away, clearly not caring about the interaction between the two.

Jin Yu sipped her tea and secretly observed the two of them. After receiving a hint from An Jiuxi, she was puzzled but did not step forward to stop them.

"That's for sure. Some people rely on those verbal promises to climb the social ladder, and they really think they can get rid of their country bumpkin status. Our circle isn't a place that just anyone can squeeze into!"

These words were so sharp that even Jin Yu, who was sitting to the side and hadn't wanted to get involved, couldn't help but frown.

“Miss Chi, please watch your words. This isn’t your Chi family home… Besides, as far as I know, the Chi family’s business overseas isn’t doing well these days, which is why they’re planning to return to China to develop their business, right?”

Jin Yu's sudden words instantly wiped the smugness off Chi Anruo's face.

Her eyes flickered, avoiding the main point, "Third Aunt, you're overthinking it. The Chi family's business overseas is just developing rather slowly."

slow?

Apart from An Jiuxi, everyone else present was well aware of the current state of the Chi family.

It was only because of their past friendship and to save face for each other that they didn't directly expose each other!

"So that's how it is." Jin Yu gave her a half-smile.

Chi Anruo no longer dared to be arrogant, she suppressed her smug look and turned to sit on the sofa closest to Jin Yize.

"Yize, I don't know what happened just now. Maybe I haven't been feeling well lately. You don't mind, do you?"

I could see the tension in the woman's eyes.

Jin Yize glanced behind Chi Anru out of the corner of his eye, met An Jiuxi's gaze, and reluctantly uttered a few words, "I don't mind."

"Yize, you're so kind."

Chi Anruo's shy expression made the other two feel sorry for Jin Yize, who was sitting there.

Jin Yize looked unwell and moved his wheelchair to the side to create distance between himself and the other person.

"Has Miss Chi been staying at the Chi family recently?"

Jin Yize immediately launched into questioning mode, but Chi Anruo was so excited that she answered whatever he asked.

During this time, he also subtly made sarcastic remarks towards An Jiuxi.

An Jiuxi just smiled politely and didn't respond. Finally, half an hour later, she got to the point.

"Bei Mu?"

Jin Yize frowned, his gaze towards Chi Anruo carrying a hint of coldness. "Bei Mu isn't always at school, how do you have time to see him?"

Seeing that the man's expression was not good, Chi Anruo subconsciously thought that Jin Yize said this because he felt that she was delaying Chi Beimu's studies.

She quickly explained, "I brought him some food yesterday, and we only met briefly, but we only talked for half an hour."

Half an hour later... An Jiuxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she secretly gave Jin Yize a wink.

The latter understood instantly.

"Don't disturb Bei Mu's studies. If Miss Chi has nothing else to do, you can go back first."
