Chapter 469: Chapter 469: If You Really Want to Thank Me, Come with Me Tonight

Bai Dongyang stood at the door, pulling Chi Yue inside and then blocking Mr. Fu Rongyin himself.

"What are you doing here?"

"I accompanied Yueyue over."

"Yueyue is for you to call?" Bai Dongyang began to drive him away, "You probably don’t realize that you’re not welcome here."

Chi Yue whispered a reminder from behind, "Uncle, Lu Cheng sent people to follow me, Mr. Fu was just seeing me home."

"Don’t talk, I’ll ask you later." Bai Dongyang told Bai Bixuan, "Take her inside."

Chi Yue hadn’t lied; Mr. Fu Rongyin had indeed gone out of his way to escort her here, but Bai Dongyang was not in a good mood at the moment, so Chi Yue gestured with her eyes to Mr. Fu Rongyin.

Luckily, Mr. Fu Rongyin understood and left without saying anything.

With a stern face, Bai Dongyang walked into the house, "You, come here and tell me exactly what happened today."

It was only on her way here that Chi Yue learned Lu Cheng had been over; if not for Mr. Fu Rongyin analyzing the advantages and disadvantages for her, she would still be puzzling over Lu Cheng’s actions today.

The old lady’s brows knitted into a "Sichuan" character, "Why did you go to his funeral?"

Chi Yue sat beside the old lady and explained softly, "I’m afraid his coming to find me was a setup. The people of the Lu Family are all heartless. Lu Cheng suddenly becoming so filial is probably for some ulterior motive."

The old lady’s expression became serious, "Go on, explain."

"Lu Cheng never mentioned my parentage before Mr. Lu passed away, but today he made a point of inviting me to the funeral in a high-profile manner. If Mr. Fu Rong had not appeared in advance and attended as my escort, I’m afraid things would have spiraled out of control. Since Mr. Fu Rong was there, he didn’t dare to act rashly. I bet he will find other ways to accomplish his goal."

The old lady and Bai Dongyang exchanged glances, then both looked at Chi Yue.

At this moment, Bai Bixuan spoke, "You are right, the Lu Cheng siblings just left."

A shock went through Chi Yue.

Mr. Fu Rongyin had said that Lu Cheng was targeting the Bai Family’s interests.

At the time she thought Mr. Fu Rongyin was exaggerating, but it turned out to be true.

Bai Bixuan continued, "We were just suspecting that he’s trying to secure funds to keep their family company afloat. It seems he is indeed aiming to do so."

Situ En suddenly said, "Fu Wu is Fu Wu, he has foresight."

Annoyed, Bai Dongyang said, "Why bring him up?"

"If Fu Wu hadn’t taken action in advance, right now the whole Hai City might know that Chi Yue is Mr. Lu’s illegitimate daughter, endangering not just the Lu Family’s interests but also the Bai Family’s shares."

Bai Dongyang snorted coldly, "He’s just a blind cat that ran into a dead rat; he got lucky."

Situ En just smiled and said nothing.

And thus, the matter of the day was left behind.

Chi Yue had dinner at the Bai family before returning home; the moment she entered, she saw Nan Bingyu making a secretive gesture at her.

Following her gaze, Chi Yue indeed saw Mr. Fu Rongyin sitting there.

Nan Bingyu came over and whispered, "He’s been here for a while, go see him."

Chi Yue nodded, and Nan Bingyu took Nan Baixuan back to her room.

Only as Chi Yue got closer did she notice Mr. Fu Rongyin holding Fu Mianmian, who was wrapped in the new blanket she had bought.

Mr. Fu Rongyin looked up, "The blanket’s nice, Mianmian really likes it."

Chi Yue admitted frankly, "I bought it for her. Did you want to see me for something?"

Mr. Fu Rongyin, holding Fu Mianmian, stood up and began to walk out, "Not anymore."

Chi Yue was puzzled and, after hesitating for a moment, followed him.

"Mr. Fu Rongyin, thank you for what you did today."

Stopping in his tracks, Mr. Fu Rongyin looked at her, "If you really want to thank me, come with me tonight."
