Chapter 634 -633: Regretting to the Point of Turning Green with Envy
Hearing the words “wild girl,” Chi Gui Xing’s eyes darkened slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in their depths.
Chi Ming Kun wanted to say something more, but Chi Gui stopped him with a raised hand.
She turned her head, looking coldly at Zhao Yuexiu and the others.
Not until Zhao Yuexiu could no longer bear the chill in her gaze and turned her head away with a guilty conscience did Chi Gui speak slowly, “Mrs. Chi, I was raised by my grandmother, your mother, so please watch your words.”
Chi Gui’s voice wasn’t loud, but since everyone around was listening to her speak, they turned their heads to look at Zhao Yuexiu’s side.
Zhao Yuexiu immediately felt like she couldn’t save face, turning back around and glaring at Chi Gui with anger, wanting to say something.
But Chi Gui didn’t wait for her to speak, instead continuing, “Furthermore, I am the one who was promoted to Academician this time. Your daughter and son-in-law may have their honors, which I don’t covet, but the recognition I’ve received is something they won’t be able to reach in their lifetime!”
Zhao Yuexiu, Yin Xiuxiu, Chi Yan, Su Qing: !!
Even Chi Ming Kun turned his head towards Chi Gui in shock.
Although he hadn’t spent much time with Sister Chi, in his mind, she had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, as tranquil as a transcendental sage.
This was the first time he heard Chi Gui speak such arrogant and presumptuous words.
But… for some reason, as he observed the still calm expression on Chi Gui’s face, Chi Ming Kun couldn’t help but mentally applaud her.
Such a domineering Sister Chi, isn’t it awesome!
Chi Yan was the first to react. She couldn’t help but cover her mouth with a laugh, “Sister, you’re saying you’re the one who got promoted to Academician? How come I didn’t know that our country allowed one to apply for an Academician position without even graduating from university?”
After she finished, Zhao Yuexiu and Yin Xiuxiu both snickered softly.
Su Qing, however, looked at Chi Gui with a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Talking nonsense in a setting like this, without a trace of thought!
Just then, a voice came from the stage in front, “Good evening everyone. I am Wu Zhiyuan, head of the National Advanced Research Institute Expert Group.”
In an instant, these four people felt their minds go numb, buzzing with the sound, unable to hear or see anything around them, only able to watch Chi Gui stand up and walk slowly towards the stage.
Her every step was neither rushed nor slow, without any of the excitement or nervousness one would feel in a huge scene; on her delicate, fair face, she remained calm, as if this were just a routine matter.
Not until Chi Gui ascended the stage, bowed respectfully, and had the medal symbolic of an Academician pinned on her by Wu Zhiyuan.
Then, Chi Gui took the microphone from Wu Zhiyuan’s hands and gave her speech of thanks to the audience.
She thanked everyone in the room, including her deceased grandmother but omitted any mention of the Chi Family, of Zhao Yuexiu.
A wave of warm applause filled the room, everyone discussing admiringly and enviously every person Chi Gui had thanked.
These claps and discussions were like sharp spikes, piercing Zhao Yuexiu’s heart, nearly suffocating her!
This girl, currently shining brightly on the stage, admired by all, was her daughter too!
The envy and admiration of these influential figures in the room… could have been effortlessly hers…
