Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Not Familiar with Chi Yue

As soon as her voice fell, Chi Yue walked in with a man in a suit.

Chi Jianshan’s attitude towards Chi Yue was neither good nor bad at the moment, but it definitely was not welcoming, especially after he recognized the identity of the man beside her.

"Chi Yue, what do you want to do now?"

Chi Yue stopped outside the dining room, "There are some things I need to talk to you about. Shall we talk here or in your study?"

Chi Jianshan’s face was tense, "Whatever it is, let’s talk after we’ve eaten."

Chi Yue: "Then let’s talk here."

Chi Jianshan suddenly slapped the table and stood up, "To the study!"

Chi Yue curved her lips, "Okay."

Just then, Chi Qingqing suddenly spoke up, "Sister, it’s not easy for you to come back, let’s have a meal together. Besides, whatever it is, it can’t be more important than eating, right?"

Chi Qingqing was really living well recently, her face glowing, indicating that she had not been wronged since marrying Chu Shuo.

Once Chi Qingqing opened her mouth, Yang Shulan wouldn’t remain silent.

"Yes, Yueyue, it’s rare to catch your sister and brother-in-law at home. Whatever it is, let’s talk after the meal."

Chi Yue did not speak, following behind Chi Jianshan towards the study.

Chi Qingqing stood up, "Sister, even if you don’t eat, let Dad have his meal first, okay?"

Before Chi Yue could speak, the hitherto silent Chu Shuo said, "Lawyer Lin charges by the minute, and a mealtime will cost a pretty penny. Will you all be paying for that?"

"Lin... Lawyer Lin?" Chi Qingqing took a deep breath.

Those who could afford Lin Li were either rich or noble. Lin Li himself was formidable; there had never been a case lost in his hands. Now that Chi Yue had brought Lin Li over, she was probably going to sue them.

Thinking of this, her complexion changed.

"Chu Shuo, do you know why Chi Yue is looking for Lin Li?"

Chu Shuo’s eyes smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "I’m not familiar with Chi Yue."

Chi Qingqing took a deep breath, then turned to Yang Shulan, who said, "Don’t worry, I’ll ask around."

Yang Shulan went aside to make a phone call, and Chi Qingqing, unable to eat, said to Chu Shuo, "Is there something wrong on my dad’s side? Chu Shuo, no matter what happens, you have to believe in my dad."

Chu Shuo retorted, "What could happen to him?"

Chi Qingqing pursed her lips, "I’m just supposing."

Chu Shuo was aware of her ulterior motives but still said, "We are now family. If I don’t help him, who will I help?"

Chi Qingqing spoke with emotion, "I knew you were the best, thank you, Chu Shuo."

In the study.

Chi Yue stood in front of the desk as Lin Li handed a folder to Mr. Chi, "Mr. Chi, please look at the documents first. My client is willing to settle privately; it’s up to you to choose the legal process or a private settlement?"

Mr. Chi’s face darkened as he flipped through the documents; just two pages in, his expression turned grim.

"Are you accusing me of tampering with the accounts?"

Chi Yue: "It’s not a suspicion, it’s a certainty. During the time my mother was hospitalized, you were managing all the properties. The finance department has already provided evidence; if you’re unwilling to settle privately, we’ll go through the legal process."

Mr. Chi slammed the table again, "I am your father! Is this how you speak to your dad?"

Almost every time, Mr. Chi would yell at her like this; she had gotten used to it.

"Lawyer Lin, it seems Mr. Chi doesn’t want to settle privately. Let’s proceed with the legal process."

Lin Li: "All right, Miss Chi."

The two were about to leave when the angry shout of Mr. Chi came from behind, "Look at what you’ve become now, do you look like a person? Even dealing clearly with your dad?"

"Even siblings must settle accounts clearly, let alone a biological father with whom I’ve severed ties."

With that, Chi Yue left without looking back.

Downstairs, Yang Shulan waited at the staircase. Seeing Chi Yue coming down, she said, "Yueyue, can’t we discuss whatever it is peacefully? Does it have to end in an argument?"

Chi Yue: "This matter has nothing to do with you." She looked at Chu Shuo, "Mr. Chu, the Master mentioned there’s a gathering tonight, he said don’t be late."
