Karma!

He had just given him the tickets, but he already regretted it.

Zhou Zimo unleashed several fists of fury on Su Chen before leaving his office happily. He also informed Su Chen that Mu Yuchen had invited them over to Imperial Sky for dinner that night.

It had been some time since they gathered around, so Su Chen had no reason to decline.

“Chief Su, are you okay?” Secretary He quickly rushed in when he heard noises from inside the room and saw Zhou Zimo leaving with a huge grin. He also noticed Su Chen groaning while clutching his stomach.

“That guy is definitely triggered, Uncle Zhou. This is the most that I could do!” said Su Chen with a deep breath.

“I’m fine. Sort out the documents that require immediate attention. I’ll finish them all today as my break starts tomorrow.”

“Yes, Chief Su!”

…

The day went by quickly. Qi Lei, who had gone to City B for work, finally returned in the evening as well.

Qi Qiming’s butler approached Qi Lei just as he stepped out of the VIP tunnel. There were two bodyguards behind him as well. “Second Master, we have a car waiting for you outside. CEO Qi has prepared dinner at home and is awaiting your arrival.”

Qi Lei’s expression darkened instantly as his gaze turned frosty. He glanced at the butler and smiled. “It seems like you’ve been waiting for a long time. Did the old man tell you to come?”

“Yes, Second Master! CEO Qi knows you’re coming back today, so he sent me to get you home for dinner. First Master and Young Miss are home as well. I’m sure you haven’t seen them, have you? First Master is longing to see you. Miss Shasha cooked dinner tonight. She made some of your favorite dishes.” The butler smiled.

“I remember telling you that I have nothing to do with that family anymore, so you shouldn’t call me Second Master. Which part of that sentence don’t you understand?” Qi Lei squinted his eyes at the butler as he put on an empty smile.

Yang Sheng stepped up and stared intently at the two bodyguards behind the butler.

The butler was stunned for a moment, but he then smiled and replied, “Second Master, no matter what, you’re still part of the Qi family. It’s better if you don’t say such outrageous things again. CEO Qi actually cares about you a lot, and he feels pretty awful ever since Madam left. Second Master, you should think from his perspective. After all, he’s been kind towards Madam all these years. Your conflict with CEO Qi runs too deep, so…”

“That’s enough. I know you’re on his side, so there’s no point telling me all this. I know very well what kind of person he is.” Qi Lei’s grin grew wider as his gaze turned colder.

“Second Master, CEO Qi really cares about you, he really feels horrible recently, his heart was emptied out ever since Madam left, no matter what, he’s still your father, CEO Qi will feel heartbroken and disappointed if you continue to be like this. The other day after you took Madam’s things…CEO Qi has fallen sick. We wanted to tell you about it, but CEO Qi stopped us. Miss Shasha came over and took care of him for a few days.”

Qi Lei’s smile just froze. “There’s no point telling me how pitiful he has become. He has nothing to do with me. Why are you asking me to go back now? Does he want to get into another fight with me?”

“Second Master…”

The butler seemed troubled, but he still smiled. “Just come back and have dinner. First Master and Miss Shasha are both there as well. It’s been a long time since the whole family reunited. Wouldn’t it great to gather around? Miss Shasha misses you, and she made some of your favorite dishes.”

“That’s enough. How is that a happy reunion?” Qi Lei glared at the butler fiercely. “What did you just say? Do you mind explaining it to me? My mother is dead, so how is that a happy reunion? I don’t have time to talk to you. Tell the old man I’m not in the mood and don’t have the time.”

Qi Lei walked past the butler right after that angry statement.

The two bodyguards stopped Qi Lei almost immediately.

“What are you guys trying to do?”

Yang Sheng shielded the front of Qi Lei.

“Please follow us back, Second Master, or else, I’ll have a hard time dealing with CEO Qi. Please don’t cause trouble for us! CEO Qi told us to get you back no matter what. I’m sure you’re understanding enough to comply.” The butler’s smile remained frozen on his face.

“Don’t be ridiculous! Master Qi just landed. He’s exhausted and needs rest!” Yang Sheng said worriedly. Were they trying to do it by force?

Qi Lei grinned and pushed Yang Sheng aside. “What now? That old man can’t change his ways in the end, can he?”

Qi Qiming was involved with gangs back in the day. Qi Kai was part of the product that emerged after the Qi family intervened. Violence was a very common tactic of Qi Qiming’s, but Qi Lei never expected it to be used on him.

“I’m sorry, Second Master! Please forgive us! You just have to tolerate them a little and have dinner at the Qi residence. I’m sure it’s a piece of cake for you. Just think of it as a welcome back party for you, alright?” The butler’s expression turned serious as his smile faded slightly.

Qi Lei put on a bitter smile and stared at the butler and the two bodyguards. He put his hands in his pockets and shrugged. “It seems like I don’t have a choice, do I?”

“Please—” The butler signaled the bodyguards who moved aside and continued staring menacingly at Qi Lei.

Qi Lei raised his eyebrows and glanced at them before walking forward.
