Seeing the group of people who had just returned, Old Madam Chi immediately set her gaze upon Chi Wei.

She stared at Chi Wei and narrowed her eyes, clearly showing how disdainful she felt.

“She only has a rather passable face, nothing compared to Wanwan.”

“Mother!”

Chi Yun and Qiao Yuechu were shocked at those words. The husband and wife were very displeased but they held back their anger. 

“Weiwei is our biological daughter. She has been through a lot over the years. We only want to make up for those lost years. We do not want her to feel uncomfortable the moment she returns to this family!”

“Isn’t it normal to despise her? She grew up in a village and doesn’t know anything. Her life is worthless. Instead of wasting your time on such trash, why don’t you pay more attention to Wanwan? Wanwan’s parents died when she was young. In her heart, you are the only people that she can rely on!”

“Moreover, Wanwan is not only good-looking but smart as well. She was taken in by a research professor at a young age. In the future, she will definitely be an asset that the country will focus on nurturing. She will bring glory to our Chi family but now, she’s wasting her time on such an insignificant person!”

After saying everything, the old lady let out a sigh.

She then looked at a girl who was sitting obediently on the left and quickly changed her temperament. The old lady smiled and said kindly, “Wanwan, don’t associate yourself with her.”

“She will pass her bad habits to you.”

After hearing what the old lady said, Chi Wan, who had been sitting obediently at the side, finally reacted.

The young girl was wearing a light yellow, knee-length dress. She had long, black, straight hair that reached her waist. Her facial features were ordinary but when combined, she looked very gentle and demure.

She was a little hesitant at what Madam Chi said and gently shook the old lady’s arm. 

“Cousin is not an insignificant person.”

“Besides, she has just returned from the countryside. It is inevitable that she will have some bad habits, but I can help her to change them…”

As Chi Wan said that, she secretly sized up Chi Wei from the corner of her eyes.

For a brief moment, there was a panicked look in her innocent eyes.

‘It had been so many years. Why did she have to come back now?!’

Additionally, her uncle and aunt seemed to care about Chi Wei a lot. What would she do if Chi Wei were to snatch away the love that supposedly belonged to her?

Chi Wan felt a strong sense of dilemma in her heart.

However, she still had her grandmother.

“How would that be possible?”

As if she had heard some nonsense, Old Madam Chi frowned. 

“You still need to prepare for that important competition. She is not worthy of your time.”

In just a few words, Chi Wei had fully been ridiculed.

Chi Wan moved her lips. She felt a little awkward, but she did not say anything else.

Meanwhile, Chi Wei’s expression did not even change even though she was the center of the discussion.

It was only when she heard a certain word that she finally muttered softly, “Competition?”

It reminded her of a large-scale competition that was held by the scientific research community.

However, in Old Madam Chi’s eyes, Chi Wei was just a vulgar, country bumpkin. 

‘She probably doesn’t even know what a competition is!’ 

If possible, she hoped that this granddaughter of hers was never found!
