Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 76 - : Little Friend, Do You Recognize Me?

Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Little Friend, Do You Recognize Me?

To comfort Xu Wen, Chi Gui prepared a pretty lavish lunch with fish, shrimp, and two vegetarian dishes.

The meal was aesthetically pleasing and smelled delicious, which made it very appetizing at first glance.

Back at the research institute, the rare occasions Professor Chi would cook always resulted in a frenzy.

But now…

Xu Wen sat neatly with both hands and feet together on the chair opposite Fu Si, looking as obedient as a primary school student.

Chi Gui picked up some food with her chopsticks and called out to him, “Isn’t this squirrel-shaped mandarin fish your favorite? Why aren’t you eating?”

...

Xu Wen: …

Only Professor Chi could be so at ease in front of Mr. Fu!

He silently wept in his heart while also not wanting to waste the meal Chi Gui personally made for him, timidly picking up his chopsticks.

Fu Si’s voice came just at the right time, “I peeled the garlic for that squirrel-shaped mandarin fish. I wonder if it affected the taste.”

Xu Wen’s hand shook, and he looked up at him.

He saw Mr. Fu’s refined and scholarly face with a smile, his beautiful phoenix eyes looking at him warmly and gently through glasses.

Xu Wen recalled all sorts of rumors about Mr. Fu, his hand trembled again, and the chopsticks took a detour to pick up some greens instead.

The meal was supremely uncomfortable.

And he still had to act natural, not letting Professor Chi catch on to any discomfort.

Even more uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yuexiu brought Chi Yan to find Chi Gui to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.

Chi Gui had moved out almost half a month ago, and Zhao Yuexiu didn’t know her address, yet now she had found it in seconds.

However, the two were stopped by the community guard before they could even enter the compound.

The guard, with a smile, responded to everything Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan said with only one sentence, “Sorry, but without the consent of a resident of this community, you can’t enter.”

In the end, Zhao Yuexiu angrily pulled Chi Yan back to the car and called Chi Changjing to complain.

Chi Changjing listened silently, rubbed his temples wearily, and then made a call to Chi Gui.

Chi Gui took a bite of rice, felt her phone vibrate in her pocket, put down her bowl, took out her phone, and stood up, “Excuse me, I need to take a call.”

With that, she took her phone and went into the bedroom.

Upon answering, Chi Changjing’s voice came through the phone with a slightly reproachful tone, “Chi Gui, your mother and sister came to visit you. Why didn’t you let them into the community?”

Chi Gui, “I didn’t know.”

Chi Changjing: “How could you not know, they called you…”

Chi Gui: “Oh, I’ve already blacklisted them.”

Chi Changjing was momentarily speechless, knowing with Chi Gui’s attitude, there was no chance Zhao Yuexiu and Chi Yan would be let into the community.

He sighed and tried a different approach, “Tonight is Old Sir Li’s seventieth birthday celebration. You should attend as well.”

“I’m not interested,” Chi Gui rejected without hesitation.

Chi Changjing: “Old Sir Li was close friends with your grandmother before he passed. Are you sure you don’t want to go?”

Chi Gui slightly furrowed her brow in annoyance.

Invitations to grand house events are usually sent out a week or even half a month in advance.

The fact that Chi Changjing was only telling her now made it obvious whether he truly wanted her to attend the banquet or just for Zhao Yuexiu and her daughter to corner her. It was clear as day without even thinking.

But Old Sir Li indeed had been close friends with her grandmother…

Chi Gui, “Send me the time and location via text.”

Chi Changjing smiled contentedly, “I’ll have the family driver come to get you.”

Old Sir Li was a magnate of Nancheng, a figure of great influence even though he had retired years ago. The elites of Nancheng, even Chi Changjing himself, had to give him some respect.

This time, those attending Old Sir Li’s banquet were all top-tier families of Nancheng.

Letting Chi Gui see the difference between herself and the sons of rich families firsthand should make her stop refusing to cancel the engagement.

–

In the living room.

Fu Si and Xu Wen watched as Chi Gui went into the bedroom.

Xu Wen’s face was filled with panic, and in his mind, the song “Please come back to me~ I can’t bear it alone~” was playing on repeat when he suddenly heard Fu Si chuckle softly.

His deep voice carried a hint of laziness, “Kid, do you know me?”
