Chapter 213: Chapter 212: I Heard You’ve Been Telling Everyone I’m Your Girlfriend?
"Okay," Chi Chang Jing nodded.

The bidding event that took place at Tenggui Group yesterday, once cleared for release by the Tenggui Group itself, was published across all major news platforms and immediately trended.
The students who came for the competition naturally saw it as well.
Originally, due to its legendary nature, coupled with a young and handsome CEO, Tenggui Group had always garnered attention. However, ordinary people generally had little access to the daily affairs of such large corporations, so the annual public bidding naturally became a hot topic everyone enjoyed discussing.
But this year, because of Xia Jinjin’s unique presence, the students were even more interested than before.
During lunch, many crowded around, curiously asking Xia Jinjin, "Senior Sister Xia, did the Fu Family participate in the bid? Do you know which company signed the contract with Tenggui Group in the end?"
Xia Jinjin had already revealed last time that she was the granddaughter of the Fu Family, Fu Wen’s girlfriend.
Her classmates all wanted to hear more insider stories from her.
Xia Jinjin’s expression was nonchalant; even while eating, she chewed slowly and gracefully.
Upon hearing such questions from a classmate, she slightly lifted her eyes and said neither lightly nor heavily, "The Fu Family doesn’t need to bid to work with Tenggui Group."
Her words sparked considerable envy among the crowd.
Just then, Chi Gui and Chu Jia, together with Yi Rui, also came over with their food trays.
Jiang Nuan and Kong Wen, who were originally mingling, saw Chi Gui and Jiang Nuan turned her eyeballs, smilingly called out, "Chi Gui, Yanyan and Su Qing didn’t come today. Is it because the Su Family signed with Tenggui Group and went home to celebrate? Why didn’t you go?"
Chi Yan had been talking about the bidding with them yesterday, and since he and Su Qing didn’t show up today, Jiang Nuan naturally assumed they went to celebrate.
Asking this question at the moment was intentionally mocking Chi Gui.
Hearing Jiang Nuan’s words, everyone looked at Chi Yan and Su Qing with another wave of envy, and then turned towards Chi Gui, with either pity or ridicule in their eyes.
Having spent over a dozen days together, everyone knew Chi Yan could get along with anyone, and so they knew about Chi Gui, the "sister" at odds with her family.
Chu Jia and Yi Rui frowned.
Chi Gui, however, calmly lifted her eyes, and her voice, as usual, held no fluctuations, "To do what? Watch them cry?"
Jiang Nuan: ?
Chi Gui paid no further attention to the boring people, sat down with her meal, and pulled out her phone to check messages.
Knowing she was back in Capital City, the research institute had sent her more messages.
Most of them were casual chats, with occasional professional questions, all considerate enough not to disturb her vacation.
Chi Gui replied briefly to a couple, and the very next second, received a weeping emoji from Han Yutang: "Sister Chi, help me!!"
Chi Gui: "[?]"
Han Yutang: "[Crying\Crying\I’ve been grounded by my brother!! Sister Chi, could you please go and plead for me?]"
Chi Gui: "[Why did your brother ground you?]"
After a moment of silence, Han Yutang sheepishly sent, "[Well, about the dinner the other day, I asked Mr. Fu a question... But those words were his own, you can’t blame me!!]"
As he said this, he didn’t forget to badmouth Fu Si: "[Sister Chi, that old man is so petty. After such a long time, he still bears a grudge and snitched to my brother! Now I’m punished with house arrest!]"
Han Yutang: "[You should really consider my brother more! He’s not much less handsome than Mr. Fu, but he’s gentle and considerate, and not petty at all, he’s seriously perfect to bring home, right?]"
Ever since Fu Si treated them the last time, introducing Chi Guizheng formally to those friends in the small group, Han Yutang had been thinking of poaching her, and even though he was grounded, his thoughts had not rested.
Chi Gui quietly watched him type several lines of text, and only replied with one word: "[Deserved.]" freёwebnoѵel.com
Han Yutang felt greatly wounded in an instant: "[Sister Chi, even you don’t care about me!]"
Chi Gui: "[When have I ever cared about you?]"
Han Yutang: "[...]"
Chi Gui put down her phone and thought for a moment, then sent a message to Fu Si: "[I heard you’ve been going around saying I’m your girlfriend?]"
