My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

The Nangong family and the Chi family could be said to be extremely close now. In addition, the Shi family's eldest daughter-in-law's surname was Pei. This was also taboo to Old Master Chi, so he was definitely on the Nangong family's side now.

The old butler said, "Shi Gen is accompanied by his granddaughter, Shi Yalin. They seem to be here to give you a New Year's gift."

Today, the Chi family and Nangong family merely invited the two elders' good friends. It was impossible for these magnates to wantonly announce tonight's banquet, so it was normal for the Shi family to be unaware of this ongoing banquet.

Although no one wanted to let them in, one should not slap someone with a smiling face. The Shi family was a first-tier wealthy family, after all, and they were in control of many military and political forces. Therefore, Old Master Chi had no choice but to invite them in.

Shi Yalin glanced at the many cars parked outside the courtyard. They were all military vehicles. She could not help but say, "Grandpa, it seems like the Chi family has quite a lot of visitors today."

Shi Gen glanced at the car plate numbers and immediately recognized who they were.

However, when he saw the array of these military car plates along with ordinary cars in the mix, Shi Gen felt uncomfortable.

He had invited so many guests, but he did not invite the Shi family.

Among the four major families, the Shi family and the Nangong family were the closest to the Chi family after all.

Nangong Renyi and Old Master Chi were the only link between the Nangong and Chi families. The Shi family, on the other hand, had connections to the Chi family starting from him to his son and now to his granddaughter.

Shi Yalin was a little jealous.

"Grandpa, the Chi family invited so many people over but not us from the Shi family. Could it be that they really want to draw the line between us just because they're engaged to the Nangong family?"

Big Bro Chi Yang was the man she had admired since she was young. When she heard that the woman from the Nangong family was engaged to the Chi family, she had no way to vent her anger.

"Yalin, calm down. I know that Chi Yang and Nangong Nuannuan got engaged because when he was carrying out a mission in Jiang District, he had to pretend to be friendly with people suspected to be from the enemy side to find out who the mole was. Therefore, their engagement probably doesn't count. Based on your understanding of Chi Yang, do you think he's the kind of person that would let any woman get close to him?

"Who doesn't know how much the men of the Nangong family care about their girl? For them to have finally found their long-lost younger sister, but they haven't even organized an engagement banquet. Chi Yang is either in Jiang District or Eagle Special Forces. When has he been home for long?"

Hearing her grandfather's words, the intense jealousy and dismay in Shi Yalin's eyes dissipated a little.

Shi Gen continued, "That's why whatever it is about being engaged, it's just for show. I think that Chi Yang is quite friendly to you, so even if he's already engaged, it's not impossible for you. However, it's all up to fate. If we can't get through to Chi Yang, there's still Ning Wenhao and Xiao Shenbin. The two of them..."

"Grandpa." Shi Yalin interrupted Shi Gen and said firmly, "Big Bro Chi Yang is mine. No matter what, I want Big Bro Chi Yang."

Shi Gen glanced at Shi Yalin and frowned. "Yalin, I don't care what you do normally, but this concerns the Nangong family. It's not something you can do as you please. Our goal is to become the number one family in Camino and elevate your Third Uncle to the position of President. So, don't do anything stupid, or even I won't forgive you."
