173: Chapter 173: Breakup 173: Chapter 173: Breakup Ling Jiayu sat there and greeted her, “Miss Chi, we et again.”
Chi Yue pursed her thin lips, “I’m waiting for soone, you guys can go.”
“He sent to pick you up.” Fu Rongyin’s voice revealed no change in emotion.
That’s when Chi Yue got into the car.
In the back seat, she closed her eyes to rest, ignoring the two people in front of her.
But Ling Jiayu was intent on not allowing her to relax.
“Miss Chi, I’ve heard that your appraisal center is doing quite well, and many in the circle were introduced to you by Chu Shuo, right?”
Chi Yue: “Our business is good, but there’s nothing worth showing off about.”
“Chu Shuo is really good to you, even when he’s abroad, he doesn’t forget to introduce resources to you.
If he weren’t your brother-in-law, you two would be quite a match.”
Chi Yue closed her eyes again, not planning to engage in conversation.
Clearly, Ling Jiayu was doing it on purpose, steering the topic towards Chu Shuo.
Looking at Fu Rongyin, anyone speaking such words in front of him would offend him, except Ling Jiayu was the most special case.
Seeing that Chi Yue had no intention of acknowledging her, Ling Jiayu stopped trying to amuse herself and continued talking with Fu Rongyin instead.
Chi Yue endured such agony for an hour.
Finally, the car stopped, and Chi Yue was the first one to get out.
Watching her leave, Ling Jiayu smiled and said, “Fu Rongyin, she seems angry.”
Fu Rongyin just glanced at her, not saying anything.
Just after Chi Yue handed over the results to Xu Zhenwen, Fu Rongyin and Ling Jiayu walked in.
Judging by Xu Zhenwen’s reaction, it seed she already knew that Ling Jiayu would be coming.
She glanced at Fu Rongyin and then led Chi Yue upstairs.
After confirming a few details with Chi Yue, Xu Zhenwen asked her to stay for dinner.
“No thank you, I’ll be heading back.”
Xu Zhenwen said with displeasure, “Why wouldn’t you seize such a good opportunity?”
Chi Yue spoke steadily, “Staying here would only turn into a joke.
You knew they were coming back, didn’t you?
You wanted to ride with Fu Rongyin so Ling Jiayu would back off.
Unfortunately, you’re mistaken; Fu Rongyin won’t take my side.”
And Ling Jiayu had indeed aggravated her.
Xu Zhenwen frowned slightly, and after a long mont, she said, “I’ll have the driver take you back.”
Chi Yue curved her lips slightly, “That won’t be necessary.”
The last ti Xu Zhenwen sent Ling Jiayu away out of turn, it had upset Fu Rongyin so much he didn’t take her calls for several days.
Even if she despised Ling Jiayu, she wouldn’t continue to harm the mother-son relationship.
Chi Yue went downstairs, where Fu Rongyin and Ling Jiayu were sitting on the sofa chatting amiably with Fu Runan.
Every ti she visited the Fu Family, Fu Runan would never show a good face to Chi Yue, and this ti was no exception.
She did not know the reason behind it.
Chi Yue did not return to No.1 Bay but rather asked Nan Bingyu out for drinks.
Nan Bingyu rarely ca to such etings alone, prompting Chi Yue to tease, “Why didn’t Lawyer Xi co with you?”
“Don’t ntion it; I’m thinking of breaking up.”
Chi Yue raised her eyebrows.
Nan Bingyu began to rant, “You have no idea how annoying he can be.
Even when I just want to break up, he has to talk about the law.
Every ti I sneak out to a bar, he interrogates like I’m a criminal, it makes feel so guilty.”
Usually, Nan Bingyu would easily let go, why was she so frustrated now?
Chi Yue couldn’t help but laugh.
Nan Bingyu glared at her, “Are you taking delight in my misfortune?”
Chi Yue nodded, “I really can’t help it.”
With a sorrowful look, Nan Bingyu said, “If I really break up, I’ll miss him.”
Chi Yue was puzzled.
Nan Bingyu explained, “I haven’t t anyone so compatible, it’s truly…
hard to let go.”
Chi Yue: “…”
Eventually, Nan Bingyu ca out of her own emotions and asked, “How are you and Fu Rongyin doing?”
Chi Yue kept a neutral expression, “Waiting for a breakthrough.”
“In my opinion, just run off with my brother.
Not to boast, but if my brother decided to compete with Fu Rongyin, he might not lose.”
Chi Yue curved her lips, “I believe you, but this is my fight.”
Nan Bingyu didn’t persist, raising her glass, “Co on, cheers, let’s not stop until we’re drunk.”
Chi Yue didn’t rember how much she drank that night, just that after Nan Bingyu passed out, she made a call to Xi Yihang before blacking out.
After an indeterminate amount of ti, Chi Yue woke up and found herself lying on a hotel bed.
