Chi Gui had never expected Chi Yunjin to simply shove money at her, and she couldn’t help but be somewhat astonished.
Since her grandmother had died, there had been no one to give her money out of concern that she wouldn’t have enough to live on.
Chi Gui fell silent for a moment, pushing the money back into Chi Yunjin’s hand, then said softly, "Auntie, actually I..."
She was just about to say something when suddenly a loud voice came from beside them, "Oh, Yunjin, you’ve brought your daughter to the banquet too? Oh my, it’s been a few years, and your daughter has grown up so much!"
Chi Yunjin looked up at the newcomer and nodded with a smile, "Yes... long time no see."
That was a distant relative of the Chi Family, who looked up and down at Chi Yunjin’s daughter for a moment before smiling and saying, "I heard your daughter also wants to be a jewelry designer. How is that going? She and Ruoxi learned jewelry design together, and now Ruoxi has been exceptionally admitted by the Huaxia Jewelry Association!"
Hearing the relative’s words, the smile on Chi Yunjin’s face stiffened instantly.
Luo Qianqian also lowered her head, her hands fidgeting with the hem of her dress nervously.
As if Chi Gui hadn’t caught the sarcasm in the relative’s tone, she looked at Luo Qianqian seriously, "You want to be a jewelry designer?"
Luo Qianqian nodded softly, "That’s been my dream since I was a child..."
"That’s great." Chi Gui nodded, "I happen to know some jewelry designers, I’ll pick an appropriate one to recommend to you when the time comes."
Chi Gui’s tone was exceedingly confident, as if those designers were all lined up, waiting for her commands.
The relative glanced at Chi Gui, recognizing her as the daughter Chi Changjing had brought back from the rural area, and felt even more disdain.
She pursed her lips, walked back into the crowd, and as Zhao Yuexiu led Chi Yan and Chi Ruoxi over, she said loudly on purpose, "Yuexiu, your two daughters are really talented, one more so than the other! Chi Gui just said she can pick at will from world-class jewelry designers!"
