Chapter 518: Chapter 538: So, They Are Together, Right? _1

Chu Jiayue did not refuse, and the two of them walked along the footpath of the residential area towards the entrance.

Feng Yazhen looked at Chu Jiayue’s cold and calm face, feeling inexplicably uneasy, "Jiayue, don’t you have any questions to ask?"

Chu Jiayue turned her head slightly and smiled faintly, "I’ve already guessed some things. Is Lin Chen with my cousin Gu Yuexi?"

Feng Yazhen’s face turned a little awkward; after all, Lin Chen was her nephew.

Stinky brat!

You got yourself involved in this emotional mess, and now I, your aunt, have to help you take the blame. You better be good to me in the future, or else it won’t be justifiable!

"Yes."

Feng Yazhen knew that she couldn’t avoid the topic and gritted her teeth to answer, "They mentioned you to me. I knew that you went to participate in some trial and had been missing for several months."

Chu Jiayue nodded and spoke softly, "So, they are together now, right?"

Feng Yazhen wanted to deny it, but she couldn’t lie to her conscience. Besides, she was very clear about the relationship between the three of them.

Objectively speaking, Chu Jiayue also had some responsibility for the current situation.

If Chu Jiayue didn’t care about Lin Chen now, she could just divorce him amicably and end their contractual marriage. That would be fine for everyone involved. However, if Chu Jiayue cares about Lin Chen, she might have to bear the consequences of her previous decision.

"Yes."

Chu Jiayue gently bit her lip, and a flash of pain and loss flickered in her eyes before returning to calm.

Feng Yazhen stared into Chu Jiayue’s eyes, "But the situation might be different from what you think."

Chu Jiayue raised her head slightly in surprise, her gaze puzzled, but she didn’t speak.

Feng Yazhen smiled, "Lin Chen told me the details of your situation, and Gu Yuexi is not with Lin Chen now..."

Chu Jiayue furrowed her brows, "Why? Because of me?"

Feng Yazhen laughed, "Yes, and no... Why don’t we find a place to drink tea and chat while sitting down?"

Chu Jiayue nodded slightly, "All right. I’m sorry to trouble you."

Feng Yazhen laughed gently, "I am Lin Chen’s aunt, so you don’t have to be so formal with me. After all, as you can see, I am only a few years older than Lin Chen, and we get along very well."

The two of them walked out of the residential area and found a quiet corner in a tea house nearby, where they made a pot of tea.

Feng Yazhen started, "I’ll tell you what I know first. If there’s anything wrong, you can correct me. Besides, your relationship is your own business, and I won’t interfere with your choices."

Chu Jiayue whispered, "Okay!"

Feng Yazhen picked up the tea and took a sip, "Let’s start from the first day Lin Chen came to the Feng family..."

It took a long time for her to tell the story.

Chu Jiayue listened attentively and was very quiet and focused throughout.

When she heard that Lin Chen had brought Gu Yuexi to their home and introduced her as his girlfriend, Chu Jiayue’s long eyelashes drooped, her gaze dimmed.

She didn’t hate Gu Yuexi.

Really, she didn’t hate her at all.

Her marriage with Lin Chen was a contract marriage to begin with, something she proposed. Additionally, she said she wouldn’t interfere in Lin Chen’s private life and that he could do whatever he wanted, including dating. As long as Lin Chen found someone he loved, she would step aside for him.

Lin Chen had previously hinted that he liked someone outside of their marriage, but she didn’t expect it to be her cousin Gu Yuexi. That was the only unexpected thing she found upon her return.

When she heard that Gu Yuexi had been captured, Chu Jiayue suddenly raised her head and anxiously asked, "Is Xiaoxi all right in the end?"

She knew that Lin Chen had gone to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate and that he was fine. She had heard from Feng Yazhen that the two were no longer together, which made her subconsciously think of a terrifying possibility.

Did something happen to Gu Yuexi, and did Lin Chen go to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate for the sake of revenge?

Seeing the anxiety and worry in Chu Jiayue’s eyes, Feng Yazhen felt a sudden sense of relief.

Chu Jiayue and Gu Yuexi were truly sisters with genuine feelings!

When Chu Jiayue heard that Gu Yuexi was secretly involved with her husband, she was disheartened but not angry or resentful. On the contrary, when she heard that Gu Yuexi was hurt, her concern was evident.

Feng Yazhen shook her head, "She’s fine. Just listen to me carefully."

Chu Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.

As long as she’s okay.

Feng Yazhen continued to talk about the rescue, how Gu Yuexi was severely injured by a palm strike and was in critical condition. Chu Jiayue’s expression became worried again, but this time, she did not inquire further.

When she heard that Lin Chen had taken Gu Yuexi to the Cangshan Cave and used an important favor and an entrance order to send Gu Yuexi in, Chu Jiayue’s expression was quite complicated.

Surprised, touched, worried...

When she heard Gu Yuexi asked Lin Chen to be with her and not divorce her, and also apologize to her and seek her forgiveness, Chu Jiayue’s eyes inexplicably reddened.

"After that, Lin Chen went to Kunlun Mountain alone. He got a definite confirmation in Ding City at the foot of the mountain that his parents had indeed been taken back to the Land of the Unknown of Kunlun Mountain by a Miss Tang. That place is where his father, Lin Yuan, came from."

Feng Yazhen paused, "What I’ve told you so far is what I’ve seen with my own eyes. What I’m going to tell you next is what Lin Chen told me, a story about the three of you from his perspective..."
