Entangled with My Ex's Uncle
Chapter 456: To me, you are the outsider.

Chapter 456: Chapter 456: To me, you are the outsider.

Fu Rongyin’s lips curved into an even more sarcastic smile.

"So you’ve been investigating me all along, always aware of who I am. When it comes to scheming, when it comes to cruelty, no one can surpass you."

Fan Xuesong decided to lay it all out, "I have my own difficulties, you can hate me if you want, but listen to me until the end..."

Fu Rongyin cut her off, "I don’t have time to listen to your ramblings. Are you leaving on your own or should I have someone escort you out?"

Fan Xuesong showed a look of disappointment, "Is it so hard to listen to my explanation?"

"What’s there to explain? Explain how you initially swapped your newborn twins with the Fu Family’s to take revenge, stole the Fu Family’s children, then faked your own death to leave them orphans? Everything you did, it was all for yourself."

Fan Xuesong opened her mouth, but couldn’t utter a single word in rebuttal.

Fu Hanyan entered to see the two of them locked in a confrontational standoff and paused slightly, taken aback.

Fan Xuesong softened her expression and looked at Fu Hanyan tenderly, "Xiao Yan, you’re here."

Fu Hanyan hesitated for a moment and walked straight up to Fu Rongyin, without a glance elsewhere, "I have something to attend to tonight. Should I pick up Mianmian and bring her straight to your place later?"

"I’ll have someone pick her up."

Fan Xuesong said, "If you’re both busy, I can pick her up. Besides, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen her."

However, Fu Rongyin had already dialed Chi Yue’s number, "I’ll be busy this afternoon, you go and pick up Mianmian."

After hanging up, Fan Xuesong asked displeasedly, "You’d rather trust a stranger than me?"

"To me, you are the stranger."

"Ah Yin, must you speak to me this way?" Fan Xuesong turned to look at Fu Hanyan, "Xiao Yan, persuade your brother, let’s have a proper talk."

Fu Hanyan ignored her plea and said to Fu Rongyin, "I’m leaving now. Call me if you need anything."

Fu Hanyan left after speaking, without even a single glance at Fan Xuesong from start to finish.

After Fu Hanyan left, Fu Rongyin settled down at his desk to work, with no intention of paying her any further attention.

Fan Xuesong fell into contemplation and, after a moment, she also left.

Elsewhere, Chi Yue was discussing plans with Nan Yuan when she received Fu Rongyin’s call.

Nan Yuan noticed her drifting off after the call and couldn’t help but interrupt, "Did something happen?"

Chi Yue came back to her senses, "I won’t be able to join you for dinner tonight."

Nan Yuan nodded, "You have things to attend to, go ahead."

Chi Yue felt a bit apologetic, "Will you manage the proposal on your own?"

"Don’t you trust me?"

Hearing his response, Chi Yue hesitated no further, "See you tomorrow."

Chi Yue wasn’t picking up from the kindergarten for the first time, and Nan Baixuan was there too. She phoned Nan Bingyu to say she would take Nan Baixuan with her too.

No sooner had she hung up than someone stood before her.

Fan Xuesong gazed at her with a dark, indecipherable look in her eyes, "Chi Yue, I underestimated you."

Chi Yue spoke indifferently, "Although I don’t know why you’re approaching me, I don’t wish to talk to you right now."

"Such arrogance! If you want to cling to Ah Yin and marry him, you’ll have to get past me first. Do you think with that attitude, you can successfully become part of the family?"

Chi Yue’s tone remained cool, "You seem to be under some misconceptions. First, I have no intention of marrying Fu Rongyin, and secondly, even if I did, it’s none of your concern. Lastly, even if I were to marry him, I would be entering his family’s home, not yours."

Fan Xuesong’s face darkened abruptly, "You truly have no shame! He refuses to acknowledge his ancestors and return to the clan, surely it’s you who’s misleading him!"
