Chapter 86: Chapter 85 I Really Don’t Like to Solve Problems with Violence
She didn’t want to cause too much of a scene at her grandmother’s best friend’s banquet and calmly said, “To find out who’s really at fault, we just need to check the surveillance footage.”
“What surveillance footage?” A young man beside Jiang Yan raised his neck, sneering, “Are you saying all of our eyes are blind?”
Chi Gui: …
She sighed.
“I really don’t like to resolve things with violence,” Chi Gui said lightly.
Everyone: ?
They hadn’t reacted yet.
Chi Gui sighed again, “But I hate wasting words even more.”
As her words fell, Xingu went straight to kicking Jiang Yan and several others blocking the doorway out the door.
Everyone: !!!
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment before they incredulously turned to look at Chi Gui.
Did she know what she was doing?
Chi Gui, without glancing elsewhere, slowly walked out the door.

The kick from Xingu was merely meant to clear the path, not particularly forceful; those outside quickly got up.
But being treated this way in front of everyone was undoubtedly embarrassing.
“Chi Gui, have you gone mad?!” Jiang Yan yelled in disbelief, “You’re causing a scene at Old Sir Li’s banquet, aren’t you afraid he’ll hold you accountable?”
“Why don’t you let him try and hold me accountable?” Chi Gui laughed, her demeanor nonchalant, and those usually calm, dark almond eyes suddenly flashed with defiance.
Jiang Yan choked and dared not speak any further.
Chi Gui walked past the stunned group, heading straight for the parking lot.
Second floor.
Mr. Li accompanied Fu Si as they walked out, cautiously saying, “Mr. Fu, I have a project in my hands, and I’ve always wanted to collaborate with the Fu Family… What do you think…”
As they spoke, the two reached the staircase and happened to see Xingu kick Jiang Yan out from behind Chi Gui.
From their higher vantage point, they saw the scene much clearer.
Old Sir Li’s expression immediately changed, and he coldly ordered the manager behind him, “Go down and see what’s going on!”
To have Mr. Fu witness such a scene at his banquet was more than just a loss of face!
Old Sir Li sighed, his tone not very admiring, “Mr. Fu… that girl is the Chi Family’s eldest daughter, just brought back from the rural areas, full of bad habits not yet corrected… Unlike Yanyan, she’s sensible, sweet, and academically successful. She’d be a great help if she married into the Fu Family…”
But before he could finish, he heard Fu Si chuckle.
The Civilized and Scholarly man watched the scene below with a smile in his phoenix eyes, completely ignoring what he was saying.
Old Sir Li’s mind gradually displayed a: ?
Why did he see a look of approval on Mr. Fu’s face?
Old Sir Li instinctively felt something was off.
However, before he could figure it out, Fu Si’s gaze chilled as he lazily asked while resting his hand on the handrail, “Is this how you treat your guests, Mr. Li? Allowing someone at your banquet to force my girlfriend into fighting?”
Old Sir Li felt his mind explode!
Mr. Fu’s girlfriend wasn’t Chi Yan?! It was Chi Gui?!!
How could this be…
Thinking of what he had just said, Old Sir Li broke out in a cold sweat, “Mr. Fu, this, I… it was an accident…”
Fu Si didn’t bother to listen to him any further, turning to leave through the back door on the second floor.
Old Sir Li was anxious to catch up but was stopped by Qin Cheng, “Mr. Li, no need to see us out.”
His voice was very faint.
Mr. Li’s heart sank, “Assistant Qin, about the collaboration with the Fu Family…”
Qin Cheng smiled, polite yet distant, “You should find someone else quickly, it’s not good to delay the project timeline.”
Old Sir Li’s heart felt cold; he hurriedly ran downstairs, intending to plead with Fu Si directly in the parking lot.
But as soon as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he was blocked by Chi Yan, accompanied by Chi Changjing, Zhao Yuexiu, and Chi Mingkun.
“Grandpa Li, I’m sorry, my sister is ignorant and has caused such trouble at your banquet…” Chi Yan started with an apologetic tone.
Old Sir Li, too worried to respond, bypassed them and tried to leave.
Just then, Jiang Yan’s parents also rushed over, seeing their daughter’s clothes stained with red wine and footprints, the mother immediately became furious, “The Chi Family’s eldest daughter is too much! No matter what, it’s unacceptable to be violent towards a girl!”
Jiang Yan’s father was more composed and said to Old Sir Li, “Mr. Li, about the cooperation we discussed this morning…”
With that, he glanced at Chi Changjing.
Chi Gui’s actions had left Chi Changjing feeling guilty, and he quickly tried to put in a good word to push the deal forward.
The Li Family had always had a good relationship with the Chi Family, and bringing it up now by Jiang Yan’s father was also to seek the Chi Family’s help in mediating.
But just after Chi Changjing finished speaking, Old Sir Li burst out in anger, “What cooperation?! Get lost, all of you! You’ll never get to work with the Li Family in your lifetime!”
