Chapter 159: Chapter 159: There’s a New Person by His Side

Chi Yue displayed no significant emotional changes. "So what?"

"Do you think I should first give him hope, then let him be happy for nothing?"

"Since you two have a conflict, can you not involve me? Is that interesting?"

Fu Rongyin casually spoon-fed her. "Perhaps he finds it interesting."

Chi Yue felt even more desperate.

She knew she couldn’t get rid of Fu Rongyin in a short time; she had to go along with him and wait for an opportunity to leave.

Fu Rongyin seemed very busy. After she had finished eating, he left and did not come to her place in the evening.

For several days, Fu Rongyin came over during meal times. Sometimes he spoke a few words to her, and sometimes he just sat on the sofa, silently watching her.

Over time, she got used to it.

That day, after Fu Rongyin left, Chi Yue called Xu Zhenwen.

Upon receiving another call from Chi Yue, Xu Zhenwen was still very excited. "Chi Yue, did you see the person beside Ah Yin?"

"Yes. What do you want me to do?"

Xu Zhenwen was taken aback. "You really saw her? Has she been with Fu Rongyin these days?"

"If I’m not mistaken, she should be, as Fu Rongyin hasn’t been here these days."

"You... no, first describe the person you saw. What does she look like?"

"She looks quite similar to me, a woman about my age."

Yes, Chi Yue remembered.

The last time Xu Zhenwen had called her, her mind was blank, and she hadn’t even thought of the woman she had seen at the airport.

She suddenly remembered her today.

It must have been the woman beside Fu Rongyin that made Xu Zhenwen so cautious.

If she wasn’t mistaken, this woman had brought an unprecedented pressure on Xu Zhenwen.

Sure enough, upon her words, there was silence from Xu Zhenwen’s end.

After a very long time, Chi Yue finally heard Xu Zhenwen’s voice again. "Chi Yue, if you help me get rid of that woman, I can agree to let you marry into the family, marry Ah Yin."

Chi Yue’s heart steadied at that moment.

But she said, "You are mistaken, Ms. Xu, I’m not keen on marrying Fu Rongyin."

"Then what do you want? I can give you 3% of Fu Family’s shares."

Chi Yue was secretly astonished.

Given the Fu Family’s holdings, these shares might seem small, but they were close to all the assets her mother had left her.

Giving shares right off the bat, Chi Yue now had leverage for negotiation.

Xu Zhenwen anxiously waited for Chi Yue’s response, growing impatient. "Just what do you need to help me?"

"It’s simple, I want my freedom."

It might sound simple, but only Xu Zhenwen knew how much effort she had spent to send Chi Yue away, only for Fu Rongyin to catch her right off the plane.

How easy could freedom be?

Chi Yue calmly said, "Ms. Xu, you’ve been able to secure your position as the lady of the Fu Family for so long; surely you have more than this up your sleeve? Now it’s time to see your sincerity."

Xu Zhenwen said, "Let me think about it, I’ll get back to you."

That night, Chi Yue slept incredibly soundly.

She thought, if Fu Rongyin was hiding that woman, preventing her from seeing her, she would find a way to meet her.

That day, when Fu Rongyin brought her food, Chi Yue collapsed on the floor, pale-faced, after eating. Fu Rongyin was the first to lift her and rush her to the hospital.

The hotel where Fu Rongyin stayed was not subpar, frequented by people of status and influence. Many saw the scene of Fu Rongyin carrying Chi Yue out, and there weren’t any lack of people spreading the word.
