When it was time to depart, Chi Zaozao still didn’t share a car with him, because Cheng Shihuai called and asked him to pick up his troublesome mother, too.

After all, they were going to attend Mr. Cheng’s birthday banquet. No matter how chaotic things were at home, in front of outsiders, the family must appear harmonious.

Chi Youyou and the others were picked up by Song Shiyu, who also gave Jiang An a day off.

Though he said it was a day off, he actually assigned him other tasks.

"I’m afraid M Country won’t be peaceful recently. I’ve arranged security for when Uncle and Aunt go out."

Indeed, Song Shiyu had received information from E.

He didn’t know why this E decided to help him, but what he could confirm now was that this person was on their side.

He wanted to protect not himself, but Chi Youyou and her family.

Song Shiyu glanced at the rearview mirror. Could it be his father-in-law?

Chi Dayi sensed the gaze and looked up. The two exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

No matter who it is, if his intentions aren’t pure, he will definitely expose him!

Since dividing the family, Mr. Cheng had moved out and lived in a manor far from the old Cheng Family residence.

M Country is vast and sparsely populated. Many wealthy people prefer to live in such suburban manors, where they have no worries about food or clothing, the environment is beautiful, and the air is fresh.

Although Mr. Cheng wasn’t as influential as Mr. Cheng, he was a kind person who enjoyed making friends, so today he invited many people to the banquet.

When Chi Youyou and the others arrived, the guards at the manor’s entrance were organizing parking in an orderly manner.

Their cars were followed by Cheng Shujin’s car, inside which Zhou Junyi sat with a stern face.

"Xiao Jin, Mama is doing this for your own good! Don’t be fooled by your aunt’s face!"

All the way, she kept indoctrinating her son, "They’re here to snatch the Cheng family’s inheritance! Do you really think they’re that noble?"

Cheng Shujin used to think his mom was just a little obsessed with the family heir, but now he feels she’s downright paranoid!

"Mom, let’s talk about this later. Grandpa is still here, and my dad is currently the chairman of the group."

Zhou Junyi shot him a glare, "Your grandpa’s frail body won’t last much longer. Even though your dad is the chairman, the ultimate power is still in your grandpa’s hands. What’s most important now is your grandpa’s will!"

"Mom!"

"You’re too naive. Cheng the Second already teamed up with Cheng Ruosheng early on. They’re planning to snatch the Cheng Family from your dad and then split it up!"

"Teamed up?"

Cheng Shujin was slightly stunned. Aunt and Second Grandpa, teaming up?

His first thought was that it was impossible, but he feigned surprise, "Mom, is that true?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"If that’s true, then I’ve really been tricked by them!"

He pretended to be angry and clenched his fist, but the next second, he acted as if he didn’t believe it: "No way, Mom, how would you know! You’re just trying to trick me!"

Zhou Junyi got anxious, "Why would I lie to you, someone else told me!"

After saying that, she quickly closed her mouth, glared at him, "You’ve really been charmed by Cheng Ruosheng and her daughter, you don’t even believe your mother’s words!"

"Mom, no way, I believe you! But I’m getting close to Aunt and them to see what they’re up to, don’t worry, I definitely won’t give away the Cheng family’s inheritance rights!"

He felt a bit nervous inside, but outwardly he appeared calm and indifferent.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that his reputation for being a brilliant actor was well-deserved, as he could even deceive his own mother.
