Withered Broken Ice Blue

Chapter 128 Brother 3's Reverse Scale

Shen Linxi knocked on Mr. Chi's study door.

"Please come in."

Shen Linxi was wearing a black business suit and holding a folder in his hand. "Grandpa, the New Year is only a week away. Why don't we move the dinner forward?"

Old Master Chi's eyebrows twitched, "Do you really want them to recognize their ancestors? You are so anxious."

Shen Linxi had already thought of a solution, "Of course I don't want them to spend the New Year with me either."

Celebrating the New Year together has a different meaning.

If the Chi family and the Jiang family were together, that would make sense.

But why do Qian Mingzhu and Qian Shi'an do that?

It was so unfair to her children to celebrate the New Year with them without recognizing their ancestral roots.

Old Master Chi thought for a while. He felt guilty towards Shen Linxi, so he would seriously consider Shen Linxi's proposal.

If it were any other time, Mr. Chi would definitely reject her.

"Then I'll leave the dinner to you. Tell them about Wanwan's socialite training class that she doesn't need to attend, and you don't need to refund us the subsequent fees." Mr. Chi's tone was emotionless. "Also, this dinner should be grand. Let's say it's to celebrate the company's new project. As for whether Qian Shi'an can return to her roots, it depends on her value at the banquet."

"If she doesn't demonstrate her own value, then this dinner is not a loss."

Mr. Chi is a businessman, and a businessman’s drinking party is not just about drinking and eating.

Qian Shi'an returned to her ancestral home, which was the best of both worlds. She failed in the end, and that was the Chi family's celebration for their company's new project.

In both cases, the Chi family will not lose out.

It has to be said that businessmen are shrewd and ruthless.

*

The dinner was being prepared. Chi Feiwan had just finished three days of training with Shi Yaqi and the hellish training was over.

Her body was covered with bruises, which seemed to have been kneaded by someone, deeply and shallowly imprinted on her fair skin, and the pain from her thighs made her unbearable. Chi Feiwan's blue eyes were like an endless starry sky, but no stars were seen twinkling.

Chi Feiwan followed the doctor's instructions and sprayed the medicine on both sides of his thighs.

As the plaster was torn open, a pungent medicinal smell hit him in the face. Chi Feiwan carefully unfolded it, stuck it to the back of his thigh, and patted it gently to make it firm.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"coming."

Chi Feiwan got out of bed and ran to open the door.

Seeing the person standing at the door, Chi Feiwan's pupils suddenly shrank, "Third brother?"

What first caught Chi Yizi's attention was the plaster on the back of Chi Feiwan's thigh and the bruises on her legs.

Since Chi Feiwan was applying medicine, his trouser legs were rolled up above his thighs.

"What's wrong with your leg?!" A flame flashed in Chi Yizi's eyes.

Chi Feiwan quickly lowered his trouser legs and looked at Chi Yizi in panic, his expression looking like he might explode at any moment.

Chi Yizi clenched his fists, "Chi Feiwan, are you still going to hide this from me?"

"Wanwan, you'd better tell me the truth. You know I can find out."

In the capital, Chi Yizi sent people to follow Chi Feiwan, but after returning to Haicheng, the tracking seemed unnecessary.

But Chi Yizi believes that it is also necessary in Haicheng.

Now Chi Feiwan has a secret from him.

Chi Feiwan always felt that Chi Yizi treated her differently.

It has a completely different feeling from Chi Jinshu.

"Third brother, these injuries were inflicted during my training at Shi Yaqi's."

Chi Yi was stunned, "Where is Shi Yaqi?"

Chi Feiwan originally thought that Chi Yizi must know about a place like Shi Yaqi. After all, Shi Yaqi is the only one of its kind in the country, and Chi Yizi has lived in Haicheng for much longer than she has. So logically speaking, he should be very familiar with this place.

She pursed her lips, her voice weaker, "Lady Socialite Training Class."

"boom!"

It was like touching Chi Yizi's reverse scale.

"Grandpa arranged for you to go?"

He couldn't lose his temper in front of Wanwan, a voice in his heart kept telling him so.

Chi Feiwan nodded.

"Just let you go alone?"

"And Qian Shi'an."

This time, Chi Feiwan clearly saw the surging anger in Chi Yizi's eyes.

Even if Chi Yizi had never heard of the socialite training class, he knew clearly that the way socialites were trained there was definitely not gentle.

He never imagined that one day a foreign venue would open in Haicheng.

"Come in." Chi Yizi took Chi Feiwan's wrist and walked into the bedroom naturally.

He pulled the medical kit from the bedside table.

Chi Yizi was more familiar with the location of the medical box than Chi Feiwan.

Chi Feiwan still felt a little pain in her legs, but she didn't notice these details.

"Roll up your trouser legs." Chi Yizi said as he opened the cotton swab package in the medical box.

Chi Feiwan didn't move for a long time. She looked at Chi Yizi's hands in surprise.

Chi Yizi unscrewed the mouth of the ointment and found that Chi Feiwan's trouser legs had not been rolled up. "I'll apply the ointment on you."

"Third brother, I have just applied the medicine."

Chi Yizi raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you scratched the wound behind your thigh?"

When it comes to applying medicine, Chi Feiwan always thinks that she and Chi Yizi are not suitable.

If the siblings were young, like when they were children, Chi Yizi gave Chi Fei medicine at night, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But now, the two have grown up and are no longer at the ignorant age of their childhood. Siblings should also know how to avoid suspicion.

"Third brother, I can ask my sister-in-law for help there." Chi Feiwan made it clear.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Chi Yizi could hear it in her tone.

Time froze for a few seconds. After a long while, Chi Yizi put down the cotton swab in his hand and slowly closed his eyes. "Okay, but can I see the wound on your thigh?"

This was Chi Yizi's final concession.

His heart felt like it was being eaten by millions of ants, and he couldn't ignore it no matter what. It felt like an invisible force was pulling him back, making it impossible for him to break free.

That kind of power is more like an emotional bond.

"Okay." Chi Feiwan responded softly, and rolled up his trouser legs gently and slowly, stopping only when they reached his knees.

Chi Feiwan's legs were slender and white, as crystal clear as white jade. However, at this moment, her legs were filled with a strong smell of medicine. Looking closely, you can see the scars on her front crisscrossing, as if she was beaten with a severe ruler. These scars were arranged horizontally, and each one was deeply engraved on her skin.

What is even more shocking is that the scars are surrounded by obvious marks of strangulation. They are thick and hideous, and seem to be caused by ropes or other restraints.

These marks of bruises and injuries intertwined with each other made the appearance of Chi Feiwan's legs shocking.

A girl with these injuries on her legs can't bear to look at it herself, let alone others seeing it.

Chi Yizi rarely saw such injuries on Chi Feiwan's body. No wonder Chi Yizi couldn't see stars in her blue eyes.

"What were you trained for? Why do you have these injuries on your legs?" Chi Yizi was furious.
