Chi Xiantian came down the stairs with his hands behind his back. His years of government life had kept him hidden from the public. Time had left him with wisdom instead of vicissitudes. Su Wenjin poured a cup of tea on the tea table, smiled and said, "Dad, you love to drink Maojian."

"You guys have been too kind. It's been a while since you've all come back. The old man has been full of praises."

"Dad, I'm sorry."

"We're all family, come back and visit when you have time. Yinan, what's the situation in your land?"

Chi Yinan had a premonition, but he wasn't in a hurry. He slowly said, "I plan to build an advanced golf course there."

"I'm not asking you what you're building. When did you get the land?"

Su Wenjin did not know the meaning behind their words, but seeing that Chi Yinan's expression had changed slightly, and before he could even finish his sentence, his father threw the teacup in his hand towards Chi Yinan. Su Wenjin did not know the meaning behind their words, but before he could finish his sentence, his father threw the teacup in his hands towards Chi Yinan.

She wiped the water from his chest with a tissue and looked at the broken glass at her feet. She had poured this cup of tea, but it wasn't hot.

"Come with me to the study."

Chi Yinan stood up with his lips pursed. His face did not show much emotion as he walked past her with his long legs. The father and son duo went upstairs one after the other. She looked at her burning mother-in-law and said, "Mom, I'll go take a look."

What Su Wenjin said was only to calm her heart. If Chi Yinan did something immoral, even if he said it out loud, he wouldn't forgive him.

In the study room

Chi Yinan stood tall and straight in front of the sandalwood table. He loosened his tie with one hand while thinking about how to convince the old man that he was wrong about the hoarding. However, there were a few real estate people who were not suspicious.

"What else is there to say? You are making a ruckus outside with the help of your family. Chi Yinan, what are you thinking? How many people are staring at the Chi family?"

"Dad, I know my limits."

"You know how to do this." Chi Hongtian had always been proud of his only son. He could not rule out the fact that sometimes people this big could not handle things properly.

Su Wenjin walked around with the fruit bowl in her hand. The door of the study was not closed tight and a crack had appeared on the door. The conversation between father and son had almost reached her ears.

"Dad, have some fruit. I just picked it from the orchard. It's very fresh."

Chi Yinan didn't know if he didn't expect her to come in, or if she didn't expect his awkward look to be seen by her. His face wasn't too good anyway, so he clenched his fists by his side.

"Warmth, you go out first. Wait for father to teach this unfilial son a lesson first." It seemed like Eunuch was really angry, even the whip was already in his hand. If he whipped it a few times, it would take him at least half a month to recover.

"Dad, if we really have to talk about that land, I have a part in it too. At first Yinan said he would build me a resort, but then I said it would be better to build a golf course. After that, the discussion dragged on for some time." As he finished speaking, Su Wenjin felt that he had become a great man. He put the blame on his own head and glared at the man who was standing straight as ever. He didn't show any emotions on his face at all.

His father-in-law Chi Xiongtian smiled and said with a kind expression, "Warmth. You just need to whip him a little bit. He's such a big man, yet he's so unreliable. You can't bear to do things like that. Forget it, get down."

As the storm passed, the eunuch stayed in the study. He and she walked along the classical corridor, where landscapes hung at regular intervals. Her eyes were focused on the landscapes, and she didn't notice that her footsteps had suddenly stopped, causing her to smack her head in pain.

"Don't worry about my matters from now on, just do your job as Mrs. Chi." All men were good at showing their face, especially this ancestor in front of her. His pursed lips showed that his mood was slowly getting worse. She tactfully nodded and didn't forget to smile: "Go and see grandpa."

In these few years, since his return from the sanatorium, Old Master Chi's health had fluctuated between good and bad. After all, he was already old and no longer had the health he used to have.
