Chapter 111: Chapter 111: He Came Back and Didn’t Tell Chi Yue

The video stopped abruptly there.

Nan Yuan watched her facial expressions change, but Chi Yue remained expressionless.

"Do you really trust him that much?"

"What does it matter if I trust him, and what does it matter if I don’t? Nan Yuan, can’t you let go of the fact that I rejected you?"

Nan Yuan’s lips curled coldly, "You really are heartless."

Fortunately, Nan Yuan only said these two sentences and didn’t do anything drastic.

In less than half an hour, she had brought Chi Yue in front of Nan Bingyu.

Nan Bingyu, furious, wanted to hit him, "You just bully me because I’m your sister. If this happens again, I’ll take you to court!"

Nan Yuan left her only a retreating figure.

Fuming with nowhere to vent, Nan Bingyu dragged Chi Yue into the car, "Come on, let’s go for a drink."

Chi Yue shook her head, "I need to rest, I have work tomorrow."

Nan Bingyu’s anger came quickly and subsided just as fast, "Alright then, you go up and sleep, I’ll go back and find my brother."

"Okay."

At night, Chi Yue lay in bed tossing and turning, the scene of Gu Qingyu climbing into Fu Rongyin’s bed replaying in her mind.

Chi Yue made a call, but it was disconnected. She frowned and dialed a second time, only to be reminded that the phone was switched off.

She put the phone aside and closed her eyes to sleep.

The next morning, the first thing she did upon waking up was to check her phone—empty, with neither messages nor missed calls.

Chi Yue went to work as usual, and encountered the colleague who mocked her.

Perhaps because the manager had warned her, the colleague glared at Chi Yue but said nothing.

Places with many women are never short of gossip.

While her colleagues wouldn’t say anything to her face, they spared no effort to sarcastically comment behind her back, mentioning how disheveled she looked, probably having encountered something unpleasant during the previous day’s spot check.

Chi Yue ignored them, doing what she needed to do, and gradually, their voices diminished.

After all, direct comparisons of professional ability and skills ground them down, and their daily gossip only showcased their narrow-mindedness.

That day, Fu Rongyin did not return, nor did he call Chi Yue.

Since that evening when she had called him twice, she had not initiated contact with him again.

Days passed this way.

One day, Chi Yue went out to deliver test results to a client and unexpectedly ran into Chu Shuo.

The client happened to be Chu Shuo’s friend. Chi Yue set down the results, said nothing, and left without daring to greet Chu Shuo.

She hadn’t gone far when Chu Shuo caught up to her.

"Why didn’t you come to the gathering a few days ago?"

Chi Yue was puzzled, "What gathering?"

"Didn’t ’Old Five’ tell you? He said you were busy, so he didn’t invite you."

Chi Yue felt a chill crawl over her skin, her blood seemed to flow backward, and she heard herself ask without thinking, "You mean, he’s back?"

"He’s been back for a while, how come you didn’t..."

Realizing something, Chu Shuo’s brows furrowed, his expression suddenly darkened, "Come with me."

Chi Yue saw him open the car door, gesturing for her to get in, but she didn’t move.

Chu Shuo, aware of her hesitation, muttered a curse, grabbed her, and shoved her into the car, "I’m your brother-in-law, and a brother-in-law can’t stand to see his sister-in-law mistreated."

Chi Yue: "..."

It seemed Chu Shuo had quickly adapted to this new role.

Chu Shuo’s car sped down the road and soon stopped in front of a private kitchen.

He led Chi Yue through pavilions and finally stopped in front of a private room, "Do you want me to go in with you?"

Before she could respond, he had already pushed the door open.

Chi Yue instantly spotted the dazzling figure sitting among the people.

In the private room, several men were seated, each with a woman by their side, and Fu Rongyin was no exception.
