Chapter 319 Future Mistress of the Fu Family

Chapter 319: Chapter 319 Future Mistress of the Fu Family

Nan Yuan’s mental state was very poor; he appeared utterly exhausted.

Chi Yue reacted a beat too late, "When did you get back?"

Nan Yuan sat on the sofa and rubbed his eyes tiredly, "There’s still no news."

Chi Yue poured him a glass of water, her worry inevitable, "Maybe no news is good news, don’t panic. The moment I get any news from Fu Rongyin, I’ll tell you right away."

The bottoms of Nan Yuan’s eyes were filled with red blood vessels, "Besides Xi Yihang, I can’t think of anyone else who could have done it. I confronted Xi Yihang, but he denied it."

Admission was impossible, and Xi Yihang, being a top lawyer, was too good at exploiting loopholes; his mental resilience was not comparable to ordinary people.

Both Chi Yue and Nan Yuan were well aware of this, which made their expressions even grimmer.

Chi Yue was silent for a moment before changing the subject, "You should go home and rest. Only with proper rest will you have the energy to deal with other matters."

Nan Yuan stood up, "Chi Yue, she won’t be in any trouble, right?"

"No, she won’t," Chi Yue said with certainty, "Xi Yihang won’t harm Xiao Yu."

"Thank you."

After Nan Yuan left, Chi Yue no longer felt like working.

She packed her things and decided to go see Fu Rongyin.

Standing outside the Fu Group building, Chi Yue still didn’t have the courage to go up. She called Fu Rongyin, but his secretary answered the phone.

The secretary said he was in a meeting, and it was unclear when it would end.

Chi Yue had no choice but to give up, preparing to take a cab back to the office.

Meanwhile, she took a call and handled some affairs, after which she noticed the secretary standing right behind her.

"Hello Miss Chi, the president asked me to bring you up."

Chi Yue exclaimed, "Isn’t he in a meeting?"

"Yes, Miss Chi, he still needs a while to finish. Please follow me," said the secretary.

The secretary led Chi Yue to the office and then left. Chi Yue didn’t dare to touch his things and decided to nap on the sofa instead.

In a daze, she heard noise outside and a familiar voice, jolting her awake.

Outside the door, the secretary stood in the way, "Miss Situ, the president ordered that you cannot go in. He has said that you are not allowed into his office."

"Move aside!" Situ Wei’an shouted sternly, "If you don’t move, once I’m married, the first thing I’ll do is fire you!"

The secretary refused to budge, "Miss Situ, you might not be aware that in the Fu Family, the president’s relatives have no right to interfere with company affairs, especially since I am following the president’s orders. Even the president has no right to fire me."

Situ Wei’an stood there, towering with arrogance, "Just because I am the future mistress of the Fu Family, are you saying I don’t have the authority to fire you?"

Just then, Xu Zhenwen’s voice came, "What big talk. I’m not even dead yet, and you’re already trying to take my place as the mistress of this house!"

Situ Wei’an couldn’t adjust her expression in time, and her arrogant face was completely exposed.

Her expression was ugly, but she insisted righteously, "I didn’t mean that. I saw Chi Yue enter Ah Yin’s office, and the secretary wouldn’t let me go in, so that’s why I said what I did..."

"Whether you said it casually or if that’s really how you feel, I don’t care. What matters to me is that statement you made. Situ Wei’an, you’d better get your position straight and know your situation. If it weren’t for your family, do you think I would let an arrogant person enter my house?"

Situ Wei’an’s eyes instantly reddened, but she dared not say another word.

As Xu Zhenwen turned to leave, Situ Wei’an called after her, "Don’t you want to know if Chi Yue is in there?"

Xu Zhenwen said, "What if she is inside? Strictly speaking, she is Ah Yin’s recognized former fiancée, and their engagement has not been rescinded, whereas you, are not recognized by him."

Situ Wei’an incredulously opened her mouth wide, then stormed off angrily.

Xu Zhenwen paused for a moment, then said to the secretary, "Open the door. I’m going to check."

The secretary hesitated, "Am I not allowed to go in either?"

In the end, the secretary stepped aside.

Xu Zhenwen pushed open the door. The office was completely empty, not a soul in sight.

Xu Zhenwen looked around and walked toward the break room.

Chi Yue hid in the closet of the rest room. Holding her breath, she was alert to the sounds outside.

She didn’t know why her luck was so bad; she had come here rarely, only to encounter both of them.

The sound of footsteps stopped in front of the closet, causing Chi Yue’s heart to jump into her throat.
