Dismissing these impractical thoughts, Chi Yue gathered her focus again, waiting for the right opportunity to take her next steps.
The wedding was attended by many entrepreneurs, and Chi Yue patiently sought each one out to hand them her business card.
She wasn’t just handing out her card to anyone; she targeted those who had been selected in advance and who harbored second thoughts about their partnerships with the Gu Family.
Having done all this, she quietly returned to Chu Shuo’s side and calmly sipped her juice.
After finishing her drink, she stood up to go to the restroom.
Just as she entered, she was pulled into a stall.
Chi Yue’s heart pounded, and she instinctively reached to hit the speed dial on her phone.
The familiar scent of the man enveloped her, and she sighed with relief.
"Mr. Fu, you’re not out there with your fiancée but waiting here for instead?"
Chi Yue had made up ticulously today. Already beautiful, her makeup accentuated her features, drawing the attention of many n with ill intentions in the crowd.
Fu Rongyin’s expression was ice-cold, "Why did you co?"
Chi Yue blinked her lovely apricot-shaped eyes, "Lady Fan personally sent an invitation; wouldn’t it be rude not to co?"
"She sends you an invitation and you just co?"
Chi Yue smiled, "The way you say it, it’s as if my being here affects you."
"Chi Yue," the man’s voice was incomparably grim, "do not stir trouble; none of the Gu Family are simple folks. And keep your distance from Gu Qingcheng."
Chi Yue, expressionless, straightened her gown and reached for the door, "What right do you have to say these things to ? As an ex-husband?"
Without waiting for Fu Rongyin to reply, Chi Yue said, "Mianmian misses you; find so ti to go see her."
Chi Yue left without looking back.
Fu Rongyin took the risk to find her, probably because she poached a client from the Gu Family, which affected him. Beyond that, Chi Yue could think of no other reasonable explanation.
Having accomplished what she ca for, Chi Yue left the wedding venue with Chu Shuo, grabbed a bite at a restaurant, and then took her ti hailing a cab ho.
It wasn’t the weekend yet, so she did not go to pick up Fu Mianmian.
When she reached her front door, she saw from a distance the handso figure standing outside. It was only when she drew closer that she realized it was Fu Rongyin.
Chi Yue treated him with a distant coolness, "What are you doing here?"
"I ca to see Mianmian."
"Mianmian isn’t ho today; you can leave."
Fu Rongyin narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Is this how you take care of your child? Neither you nor I am by her side, and she is still so young. What if..."
"So you do realize she’s that young and can’t be away from her parents~ Fu Rongyin, if you had considered her at all, you wouldn’t have taken the divorce certificate without consulting ."
Fu Rongyin was left speechless, unable to respond.
Chi Yue smiled lightly and turned to enter her house.
She shut the door firmly behind her and strode inwards.
However, the sound of the door closing was delayed, and instead footsteps followed behind her.
"Chi Yue, you were the one who suggested the divorce, so who are you showing this attitude to now?"
Chi Yue stopped in her tracks, turning around in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Taking a deep breath, Chi Yue said, "Are you blaming ? Fu Rongyin, I was just the one who ntioned divorce, and I even softened later to reconcile with you. But what about you? You turned around and found soone else to replace at the Civil Affairs Bureau for the divorce!"
Yes, it was Lu Nanxi who went to divorce Fu Rongyin in her stead.
Lu Nanxi, with her identity and a face completely unlike hers, still ended up divorcing him in her place.
A flash of surprise crossed Fu Rongyin’s eyes, which quickly returned to calm, "Now that you know, it’s just as well. There’s no need for to explain."
He started walking away, but halfway through he turned back, "I’ll take Mianmian for the weekend, and I will bring her back when the weekend is over."
"No way!" Chi Yue reflexively rejected, "Why should I agree to that? That’s not in the contract."
"Contracts are static, people are not."
Chi Yue fell silent.
The already quiet house, briefly livened by their presence, reverted to an eerie silence due to their quietude.
"Are you... so eager to have Mianmian acknowledge a stepmother? Fu Rongyin, all you did was divorce ; I’m not dead."
