Entangled with My Ex's Uncle
Chapter 131 Abandoning Fu Wu

Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Abandoning Fu Wu

Fu Rongyin said coldly, "What relationship do I have with her? Can’t you all see for yourselves?"

Chu Shuo didn’t ask any further. He hung up the call and made several more to have some matters taken care of.

Chi Qingqing came in from outside and, upon hearing him on the phone, couldn’t help saying, "If you want to know why Nan Yuan hasn’t left, wouldn’t it be more direct to ask Nan Bingyu?"

Chu Shuo wasn’t too interested in engaging with her.

Chi Qingqing was someone who lacked tact. She continued, "I heard that Chi Yue resigned. Her former colleagues are all talking bad about her. Could it be because she didn’t get along well with them, that’s why she resigned?"

Chu Shuo furrowed his brows, "You’re saying Chi Yue resigned?"

Seeing that Chu Shuo was willing to talk to her, Chi Qingqing felt both surprised and heartbroken.

It seemed that only when the topic was related to Chi Yue would Chu Shuo talk with her a bit more.

So, she said teasingly, "I just heard it from others. If you want to know, I could ask my friends for you."

Her friends were those who had been duplicitous towards Chi Yue but were later bought over by Chi Qingqing, and now they were still providing Chi Qingqing with information.

Chu Shuo was clearer about this than anyone else.

But...

"Do your friends know where Chi Yue is now?"

Chi Qingqing nodded, "She’s in Hai City, at the Bai Family."

Chu Shuo was taken aback once again.

Chi Yue had actually returned to the Bai Family.

"Even if she goes back to the Bai Family, it’s useless. Her uncle called yesterday, knowing that she has broken ties with the family, and now they are trying to get her mother’s dowry back. I think she must be having a hard time right now... Hey, where are you going?"

The only response she got was the sound of a closing door.

Chi Qingqing was stomping her feet in anger.

Her first reaction was to call Yang Shulan, but as her gaze fell on the slight bulge of her belly, she stopped.

Seemingly having thought of something, Chi Qingqing curled her lips into a smirk.

----

The next day, Chi Yue woke up to several missed calls.

They were from Fu Rongyin and Chu Shuo.

Chi Yue ignored Fu Rongyin’s calls and returned the call to Chu Shuo.

The automated voice on the other end informed her that she was not in the service area, so Chi Yue gave up.

One hour later, Chi Yue received a call from Chu Shuo, "Where are you?"

"In Hai City."

"Come down, I’m below your hotel."

Chi Yue was slow to react, "You’re in Hai City too?"

"Yes, hurry down."

It wasn’t so much that Chu Shuo wanted to come over, it was really because a madman had been calling him all night, disturbing his peace, so he simply came over in the middle of the night.

When Chi Yue saw Chu Shuo, her mind was still foggy.

It was Chu Shuo who spoke first, "Where is Nan Yuan?"

Chi Yue shook her head, "Do you need him for something?"

Late in realization, she asked, "How do you know Nan Yuan and I are here?"

Chu Shuo gave a smile that wasn’t quite happy, "I’d rather not know. It’s just that your family’s person knows Nan Yuan is with you; they called me all night until they went crazy."

Chi Yue didn’t dwell on who he was referring to but instead said, "I’m about to go to the hospital to pick up Grandma, I will contact you later."

"I’ll come with you."

Chu Shuo drove the car. He opened the door and let her in first, then he got into the car himself.

"Chi Yue, are you with Nan Yuan now?" Chu Shuo asked.

"No."

Chu Shuo let out a heavy sigh of relief, "Good that you’re not. Nan Yuan’s flight yesterday was supposed to be abroad, if not for an acquaintance seeing him in Hai City, everyone would’ve thought he’d left on the plane."

Chi Yue was stunned.

Seeing Chi Yue’s reaction, Chu Shuo narrowed his eyes, "So you didn’t know, huh. Well, no wonder Fifth Young Master Fu is so anxious."

It was Fu Rongyin again.

Chi Yue said indifferently, "Fifth Young Master Fu and I are done. It would be perfectly normal for me to be with Nan Yuan now."

Chu Shuo looked at Chi Yue, finally understanding why Fu Rongyin was so anxious.

He half-jokingly said, "You must never dump Fifth Young Master Fu, or else we’ll all suffer for it."

Chi Yue remained silent.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chi Yue didn’t let Chu Shuo into the ward, as she knew Mrs. Bai Senior might not take kindly to him.

Right then, Grandma’s eyes only had room for Nan Yuan, her look growing more and more fond of him.

Bai Dongyang came to pick up Mrs. Bai Senior. He didn’t show a good face to Chi Yue and Nan Yuan, but he didn’t ridicule her on the spot either.

Bai Bixuan was different.

Jealous of Chi Yue’s beauty, which surpassed her own, and now seeing the outstanding men around her, she asked in perplexity, "Chi Yue, just now I saw a man drop you off. He seemed quite familiar with you. Why didn’t you let him come up to meet Grandma?"
