Chapter 132: Chapter 132 Domineering

After those words, everyone’s gaze descended upon Chi Yue.

Mrs. Bai Senior asked, "Yueyue, you have a friend here, why didn’t you invite him to join us?"

Chi Yue replied calmly, "He is an old classmate, I just happened to run into him."

Since it was a classmate, Mrs. Bai Senior did not inquire further.

However, Bai Bixuan retorted, "Isn’t he your half-sister’s husband? I’ve seen him before and I’m certain I’m not mistaken."

Now, Mrs. Bai Senior was no longer composed, "Yueyue, what is this all about?"

Bai Bixuan, supporting the elderly lady, said, "I heard a while ago that Chi Yue’s brother-in-law chased after her, planning to declare his feelings publicly, but in the end, Fifth Young Master Fu snatched her away. Otherwise, your sister should be with her brother-in-law now, right, Sister?"

From start to finish, Chi Yue didn’t utter a word, just looked at Bai Bixuan.

Nan Yuan, who was beside them, tried several times to make excuses for her, but she stopped him.

Seeing Bai Bixuan look towards her, Chi Yue spoke indifferently, "Are you done? If you have finished, then leave. Don’t let these trivial matters delay Grandma’s discharge from the hospital."

Clearly, she had no intention of responding to Bai Bixuan’s provocation.

However, at that moment, Bai Dongyang also spoke.

"Is this how Bai Qing raised you? To be entangled with so many men and even have an improper relationship with your own sister’s husband?"

Chi Yue instantly laughed, out of sheer anger.

"Tell me, what is this ’improper relationship’ we supposedly have? If you can produce any concrete evidence, even if it’s fabricated, I will accept it. But if not," Chi Yue’s voice grew colder, "I will sue you for defamation!"

Bai Dongyang snorted coldly, "You know as well as I do how hard it is to find evidence for this kind of thing. Bai Qing trusted the wrong person and gave you so much property. Sooner or later, it will all be wasted in your hands!"

"Enough!" Mrs. Bai Senior shouted in anger, "One should not speak such harsh words to his niece. So you think that makes you right?"

Bai Bixuan quickly tried to soothe her, "Grandma, don’t be angry. My dad is just worried about my Aunt’s heritage, nothing more."

Nan Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly began to speak.

His speech was neither hurried nor slow, and his voice was quite cold, "Old Lady, I didn’t know that Yueyue would be treated like this here. I had been advising her to stay, but now I’ve changed my mind."

Mrs. Bai Senior furrowed her brows, "Nan Yuan!"

Nan Yuan said, "When her mother died, none of you were by her side. When she was driven out of her house by her own father, you weren’t there. When she was oppressed by her stepmother and stepsister, you were still absent. Do you know how much effort she put in to wrest her mother’s inheritance from her father?"

The faces of the Bai family members all changed.

Especially the Old Lady, who looked at Chi Yue, unable to utter a word.

After what felt like an eternity, she spoke with a quivering voice, "Yueyue, why didn’t you tell Grandma?"

"No need. Let’s go."

The latter sentence was directed at Nan Yuan.

As they left the hospital room, Chi Yue said to Nan Yuan, "I’ll go to the restroom for a moment, if you have something to do, you can go ahead."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Nan Yuan watched her retreating figure, and ultimately unable to bear it, he turned back to the hospital room.

No one knew what he said, only that when Mrs. Bai Senior came out, she was continuously wiping away tears.

In the restroom, Chi Yue’s eyes were red and swollen.

It was undeniable, when Nan Yuan spoke up for her just now, she was touched.

From the death of Bai Qing to the present, she had never shown her emotions in front of others, only in the solitude of night did she crazily digest these negative feelings.

So much so that at one point, Chi Yue was afraid to sleep alone.

After composing herself, Chi Yue left through another exit.

She thought Chu Shuo had already left, but unexpectedly he was still waiting for her downstairs.

Chi Yue walked over and stopped in front of him, "Where are you heading now?"

Nan Yuan said, "Back to the hotel to get your luggage."

Chi Yue, also planning to leave, replied, "Then I’ll trouble you to do so."

After retrieving the luggage, the two headed straight for the airport. It was only at the airport that Chi Yue learned Nan Yuan was leaving.

At the departure gate, as she said goodbye to him, Nan Yuan suddenly proposed, "Yueyue, come with me, we can start anew overseas."

Before Chi Yue could respond, she was abruptly yanked away by a forceful tug, followed by a familiar voice from above:

"She won’t be coming with you."
