Fu Rongyin left at so point, and Chi Yue couldn’t rember exactly when. All she knew was that he closed the door rather loudly as he left.
Back in her room, she received a call from Nan Bingyu.
"Yueyue, didn’t you ask my brother to look into Xi Yihang? He incidentally found out so things about Fu Rongyin too. Do you want to hear about it?"
Chi Yue gathered her thoughts, "Go ahead."
"Wasn’t it ntioned before that Xi Yihang was preparing to venture into Hai City? That was because Fan Xuesong had agreed to help him. But then Fan Xuesong suddenly went back on her word."
Nan Bingyu paused montarily before continuing, "It’s because Fu Rongyin promised to help Fan Xuesong take back control of the Gu Family. Thus, Fan Xuesong gave up on Xi Yihang as a pawn. However, my brother said that Xi Yihang seems to have other deals going on with Fan Xuesong that haven’t been uncovered yet."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yue didn’t feel relieved but grew even more burdened.
"So, Fu Rongyin filed for divorce with to show his sincerity to Lady Fan."
Fu Rongyin had given up on her.
In their ga, she was used just like Xi Yihang, a re pawn, and to make matters worse, she was not even as significant as him; she was a discarded piece.
"Yueyue, are you listening?"
Chi Yue snapped back to attention, "Yeah, I’m here."
"What do you plan to do?"
"Let’s not rush into anything. We’ll play it by ear."
Nan Bingyu grew anxious, "But their engagent is tomorrow. Are you really going to just watch him marry soone else?"
Chi Yue did not hear her clearly at first, "What did you say?"
"I said, are you going to do nothing while he gets engaged to soone else?"
"The sentence before that."
"Their engagent is tomorrow."
Chi Yue was completely stunned, "How could this..."
She suddenly rembered the invitation she had shredded into pieces and thrown into the trash without giving it a second glance...
Noticing her dismay, Nan Bingyu said, "Where are you now? I’ll co to you."
"No need, I’m at ho. I’ll... prepare for tomorrow’s... never mind, Xiao Yu, I’ll call Nan Yuan. Let’s leave it at that for now."
Chi Yue hung up and dialed Nan Yuan’s number.
The call was answered by Fu Hanyan, who seed to want to say sothing but ended up saying nothing, and passed the phone to Nan Yuan.
Nan Yuan spoke to her briefly before heading out, and Chi Yue waited at ho for news.
As dawn was about to break, Chi Yue finally received a call from Nan Yuan.
"It’s taken care of. You should get a couple hours of rest. When it’s ti, I’ll co to pick you up."
"Thank you, Nan Yuan."
"Chi Yue, I truly hope you find happiness."
Chi Yue gave a wry smile, "I will."
When the day fully broke, Chi Yue began picking out clothes and doing her makeup. No matter how bad her relationship with Fu Rongyin had gotten, she couldn’t let Lu Nanxi get the best of her.
When Nan Yuan ca over, Chi Yue was already ready to go.
Accompanying Nan Yuan was Fu Hanyan, who sincerely complented Chi Yue upon seeing her, "Sister-in-law, you look absolutely stunning."
Chi Yue smiled, "Thank you."
"I’ll bring you in with later. Nan Yuan has the invitation."
Chi Yue nodded, understanding Fu Hanyan’s intentions. If she appeared with Nan Yuan, the actions she was planning to take today would not leave her vulnerable, and it was always good to be cautious.
At the venue, Lu Nanxi and Fan Xuesong were standing at the entrance welcoming guests. They didn’t know Chi Yue had torn up her invitation, so when they saw her, aside from a slight change in their expressions, they did not stop her.
As they approached the venue, Fu Hanyan whispered, "My brother is mingling with guests on the other side. He won’t co over here until it’s ti for the event to officially start."
