Chapter 705: Chapter 705: A Guest Arrives

Chi Yue spoke, then walked away without looking back.

Fu Xingchuan stood at the roadside for a very long time. So long that the dawn began to break, only then did he manage to force a smile and laughing lightly, he got into his car and drove away.

Chi Yue returned to the Siheyuan but did not go back to her room, instead sitting in the courtyard until daylight.

Fu Hanyan opened her room door and was shocked to see Chi Yue sitting in the courtyard, “Sister-in-law, haven’t you slept?”

After Chi Yue had sent a message to Fu Hanyan, Fu Hanyan had gone to sleep, so she did not know when Chi Yue had returned.

Seeing her sitting in the courtyard lost in thought, Fu Hanyan was worried something had happened.

At Fu Hanyan’s words, Chi Yue stiffly turned her head, only then realizing how long she had been sitting there.

Her voice hoarse, she said, “I got back late, so I didn’t go to sleep. Why didn’t you sleep in a bit longer?”

Fu Hanyan brought over a stool and sat down beside her, “I couldn’t sleep anymore. How did it go with my brother? Did you talk to him?”

“Yeah, we talked, but he refused to agree.”

Fu Hanyan rubbed her temples, “Are we just going to stand by and watch him get engaged to Zhan Youyou?”

“What else? I want to accuse him of bigamy, but I have no evidence.”

She had means to prove Fu Rongyin’s identity, the simplest being to have Fu Rongyin and Fu Mianmian take a paternity test, but if the Qi family got involved, the consequences would be hard to predict.

Not to mention, Fu Rongyin himself was unwilling to acknowledge his identity, which made things even more difficult.

Chi Yue did not want to give up, so she said, “Later on, I will attend the engagement party, you find a chance to knock him out and take him away.”

Fu Hanyan opened her mouth in surprise but quickly nodded in agreement.

It seemed they had no choice but to resort to this method.

As they were discussing the details, an unexpected voice interjected, “No need for so much hassle.”

Only when they heard the voice did Chi Yue and Fu Hanyan realize that Nan Yuan had quietly appeared behind them.

“You have a way?” Chi Yue asked.

“I was running around all day yesterday and finally got in touch with Jiang Ye. He should have arrived by now. I’ll bring him to see Fu Rongyin shortly,” Nan Yuan explained.

A glint of hope sparked in Chi Yue’s eyes, “You got in touch? Then Chang Jinnian is…?”

“He’ll be here soon too. Just wait at home for news, I will bring him back.”

Fu Hanyan was still not reassured, “Shouldn’t I go with you?”

“No need, you two stay at home and wait for news.”

Not long after Nan Yuan left, a guest arrived at the house.

When Fu Hanyan led the person in, her eyes were clouded with complex emotions, “Sister-in-law, Old Qi is here.”

Chi Yue truly did not expect to meet Mr. Qi under these circumstances.

While Chi Yue was surprised, Mr. Qi seemed calm and collected, “Won’t you offer me a cup of tea?”

At that, Chi Yue emotionlessly poured a cup of plain boiled water, “Sorry, I’ve been too preoccupied with recent events to even think of making tea. Please make do with this.”

Mr. Qi glanced at the cup of boiled water and sat down, “I know you hold a grudge against me, but have you ever considered that this was his own choice?”

Chi Yue retorted, “Are you saying he chose to abandon his wife and child to come to Beijing for a life of luxury?”

With Fu Rongyin’s abilities, he could have everything in Beijing in Nancheng or Hai City, maybe even with less scheming and competition.

Mr. Qi laughed amusedly at her tone, “It seems I’ve been blacklisted by you now. It doesn’t matter. I came today to persuade you to let go. My girl, do you believe that he is burying his talents in Hai City?”
