Good Evening, Mr President!

Chapter 10

Become Chi Zuxu’s wife? Dream on!

The unexpected guest, Su Jieyu aka Chi Zuxu’s childhood friend, was not what Chi Yi foresaw at the main residence.

Back then when the latter was just a small kid, the former would always come over to their house looking for her uncle. Her excuse for each time was nothing else but to seek his help for tutoring. However, her uncle was not a tutor and so he did not have any obligation to tutor her at all!

Later on, when her uncle left for abroad, the woman never once come over again.

Look, he’s just returned but she’s here already! Let’s see what sort of excuses she can cook up this time. Tutoring? Hah, she has graduated a long time ago!

“Chi the Forth, come over quickly! Look, who’s here?”

As soon as Chi Yi stepped in, her granny beckoned her over and directed her to the young lady beside her. “Do you recognize her? It’s Sis Jieyu.”

However, she did not greet her.

Alright! I’ll admit it. I’ve never liked this woman ever since I was just a little girl.

Her attitude towards me was always cordial and gentle whenever there was any elder present. In their absence, however, she would always give me a fierce berating and when she sometimes saw me hanging around my uncle’s side, she would also harshly warn me not to hinder their relationship by becoming a burden and a third wheel!

Hah! There’s only one word to describe her: Pretentious!

Chi Yi bypassed the woman, her gaze landing directly at the man behind her.

Chi Zuxu was looking at her too.

With a solemn look, he opened his mouth slightly. “Don’t you know how to greet people? Haven’t you learned any basic manners despite your age?”

“I’m not in the mood!”

With that, she willfully pivoted around and headed straight upstairs, leaving Su Jieyu awkwardly standing there.

“This child!” The old woman shook her head. “I’ve truly spoiled her rotten!”

The man knitted his brows in displeasure.

She’s in a bad mood? Why?

“Please don’t mind her, Jieyu. She’s just a lass who’s been spoiled rotten by me. Although she has always been a little wayward, she isn’t bad at heart.”

The granny stepped out to mediate the situation on her granddaughter’s behalf.

“It’s fine, Auntie. Why would I be bothered by a child?!” Su Jieyu flashed a smile with crescent eyes at the other and feigned a look of nonchalance.

Chi Zuxu got to his feet. “I’ll head upstairs to take a look at her.”

“Alright! Don’t go scolding her! She’s in a bad mood, so give in to her a little…” instructed his worried father.

He felt a little resigned at that. “Dad, you shouldn’t be spoiling her all the time!”

How could they not, though? She was the only granddaughter and the youngest one of their family of three generations at that! So, how could they bear to punish her? Almost everyone in the entire family could not help spoiling that lass. Even though her father had no blood relations with the Chis, no one ever saw the father-daughter pair as outsiders.

The moment Su Jieyu saw the man heading upstairs, she hastily followed after him. “Uncle, Auntie, I’ll go up with Zuxu to take a look at Chi Yi. It so happens that I have a gift for her, too!”

“Alright. You’re the most considerate one of all, Jieyu. Quickly marry my son and become my daughter-in-law…”

“Mom, you’re getting ahead of yourself!”

There was not much emotional change on Chi Zuxu’s cold face.

On the other hand, Chi Yi heard what her granny said loud and clear from the second floor. Somehow, though, she felt inexplicably irritated at that.

Let Su Jieyu marry into our family and become Chi Zuxu’s wife?

Dream on!!

I’ll be the first one to oppose it!!

Reason? Of course, it’s because I hate her!

Hmph!

She turned around and stormed into her bedroom, slamming the bedroom door shut with a loud bang to vent the immense dissatisfaction inside her and as though she was acting rashly out of indignation.
