The elder struggled to articulate certain concerns, but Chi Gui understood that Grandma was worried about her comfort living with the Chi Family and wanted her to know she could move out anytime she wished.
She actually didn't need it and hadn't even planned to return to the Chi Family.
But as Grandma lay dying, she clung to her hand, her consciousness fading as she murmured, "Chi Gui, your mom has come... you can go home now..."
Old Lady's greatest wish in life was for her to return to the Chi Family, to be like the other children, treasured and embraced by the love and affection of parents.
It was precisely because of this that Chi Gui didn't refuse when Zhao Yuexiu suggested taking her back to the Chi Family.
However, now it seemed...
Suddenly, the ringing of a mobile phone interrupted Chi Gui's ruminations.
She slowly came back to her senses and barely answered the call when an incredibly aggrieved voice came through, "Boss, why did you go to Nancheng?"
"I felt like going," Chi Gui leaned against the wall by the door, her answer plain and unadorned.
These personal matters, she didn't wish to discuss with too many people.
The voice on the other end instantly sounded even more aggrieved, "Don't you miss your adorable collaborator at all?! I've specially bought a luxurious big villa by the sea in Hai Dou to make your recovery life comfortable and healthy! I've even hired more than a dozen servants! Are you heartlessly abandoning me just like that, won't your conscience hurt?"
Chi Gui: ...
She looked at a few people coming upstairs, "We'll chat when there's time."
"We've only exchanged a sentence!! This is not just heartless anymore, hey!" the other side incredulously, "You're on vacation now, how can you be so busy that yo..."
Chi Gui decisively pressed the end call button.
At the same time, a dozen men, dressed in black shirts and pants, tall and lean with extraordinary demeanors, walked up.
The man leading came before Chi Gui and bowed with respect, "Miss Chi, apologies, we were a step late. By the time we got to Cloud Village, you had already been taken away."
