However, when he remembered that the person sitting in front of him was Chi Yang, he calmed the anger in his heart.
Old Master Chi, who had been silent with a sullen expression, suddenly spoke, "Old Master Guo, please sit here. My Chi Yang doesn't want to sit next to a woman. His skin will get allergic if he sits next to a woman for too long. "
The eyes of the angry retired chief of the Internal Affairs Yuan lit up. He immediately stood up and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
Then, while Lan Huifang was getting up to greet the chair, Chief Guo of the Internal Affairs Yuan had already moved to the chair that Lan Huifang had just sat on.
Although the warmth of Lan Huifang's butt on the chair made him feel disgusted, he had always looked down on this person. In addition, the Guo family had suffered a great loss because of Lan Huifang using the Chi family's name. Now that Lan Huifang was humiliated, Chief Guo was very happy.
When Lan Huifang saw that Old Master Chi did not give her any face, she instantly felt gloomy as if she had been slapped in the face.
However, ever since Old Master Chi severed ties with her, in the past ten years, even though her eldest son, Pei Jitong, had tried his best, the Pei family's financial situation was still irreversible. They had directly fallen from the top second-tier wealthy families to the bottom of the list. Even though the Pei family was still ranked among the top second-tier wealthy families because of Chi Yang's biological mother, Zhou Ruxue, only they knew that the Pei family could not hold on for much longer.
Without Old Master Chi's financial support and help, even if no one added insult to injury, the Pei family would not be able to go far.
Therefore, all these years, Old Madam Pei seized every opportunity to ease her relationship with Old Master Chi. She even proposed to Old Master Chi that Pei Jitong and Chi Yang's mother should divorce.
However, Old Master Chi ignored her completely. If Chi Zeyao had not said that even if Pei Jitong and Zhou Ruxue divorced, his father would not change his mind. When Old Master Chi officially announced that he had severed ties with the Pei family, Old Madam Pei had already chased Zhou Ruxue out.
In her opinion, Zhou Ruxue was the root cause of the Pei family's decline. If not for Zhou Ruxue, no matter how much she used the Chi family's name to mess around, Old Master Chi would only reprimand her at most. Even if he threatened her many times, he would not truly sever ties with her.
In the blink of an eye, 17 years had passed. No matter how she begged for mercy, cried, threatened to kill herself, or spread Old Master Chi's reputation outside, the other party still ignored her. He did not ask about her, praised her, or belittled her. He was truly like a stranger.
This was the first time in 17 years that Old Master Chi had attended such a banquet. It was also the first time in 17 years that she had the opportunity to sit with her brother.
However, she had barely sat for five minutes when Old Master Chi gave her the cold shoulder. He asked Old Master Guo to sit next to Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan while she sat next to Old Master Guo.
In an instant, there were three more people in the place that was originally next to his big brother. How could Old Madam Pei, who had always been concerned about her reputation and still called herself Chi Yuancheng even though she had not had any relations with the Chi Family for 17 years?
"Big Brother, how could you do this? Chi Yang grew up under my care. He used to call me 'Grandaunt'. Why didn't I ever see him get a rash? I know you're angry at me, but it's already been 17 years. Can you stop being angry at me? "
