"You... you are simply irrational! How could Ah Zhou marry soone like you into our family? We, the Qi family, cannot accommodate soone like you. Tomorrow, no, today, pack your things and get out!"
Mr. Qi was so angry that even his beard was trembling.
Zhan Youyou was so shocked she forgot to wipe her tears and stepped forward to calm him.
However, Chi Yue said with difficulty, "Last night, it was Zhan Youyou who provoked first. She acts without thinking. Should I act like her? Grandpa, the clothes were sent to by soone you entrusted. I have no reason to not believe you. So I believe the clothes weren’t hers. Is it wrong for to have faith in you?"
Mr. Qi was speechless at that mont.
Chi Yue continued, "Or, are you hoping I would suspect you? But I can’t do that. You are the head of the Qi family. How could you, with a little girl, target your granddaughter-in-law, right?"
Her words left Mr. Qi unable to respond.
Zhan Youyou beside them was already pulling a long face, her panic written all over her.
Chi Yue felt she had said enough and said, "If Grandpa has nothing else, I’ll go accompany the children."
Saying this, she turned and walked away.
After a few steps, she heard Zhan Youyou crying, "I’m sorry, Grandpa. It’s all because of . If it weren’t for , Chi Yue wouldn’t have made you this angry. Don’t worry about . I’ll go kneel and apologize to her. I’m not afraid to own up to my mistakes..."
Chi Yue quickened her pace, not giving Zhan Youyou a chance.
The more Zhan Youyou wanted to perform for Mr. Qi, the less chance Chi Yue gave her, knowing that over ti, Zhan Youyou would find other ways to prove who the Qi family favored more.
Chi Yue was not interested in speculating about Zhan Youyou’s intentions, as she had more important matters to attend to.
Back in the room, Chi Yue saw Fu Rongyin coming in from the balcony.
Their room’s balcony faced the front yard, and judging by Fu Rongyin’s expression, he must have seen sothing.
Chi Yue raised an eyebrow, "Saw everything?"
"Heard it," his voice was low, making it hard to discern his true feelings.
Chi Yue glanced towards the balcony, "What did they say afterward?"
Fu Rongyin’s gaze deepened, "I won’t let them have their way. How’s Lin Wanyun?"
Seeing him change the topic, Chi Yue didn’t dwell on it.
"I wanted your help, talk to Zhan Qing, tell him that Mianmian wants to play with Zhan Mobai, let him send the boy over."
Fu Rongyin frowned, disapproving, "Why bring him over? Mianmian plays just fine on her own."
Chi Yue was puzzled, "Didn’t you always say you’re busy and have no ti for Mianmian? With Xiao Bai here, Mianmian wouldn’t need much of your attention."
Fu Rongyin’s face darkened, "No need. With Zhan Qing’s ways, how good can his son be? Better if Mianmian stays far from him."
Chi Yue blinked, seeming to understand sothing, burst into laughter, "They’re just four-year-old kids, aren’t you worrying too much?"
"It’s always better to be prepared for anything."
Chi Yue couldn’t hold back and laughed, "Fu Rongyin, aren’t you being childish? Go get Zhan Mobai. He’s neglected at the Zhan family, poor kid."
Chi Yue briefly ntioned the matter of Zhan Qing bringing an illegitimate child ho, then wondered aloud, "Mrs. Zhan seems not to have shown up lately. Did sothing else happen at the Zhan family?"
Fu Rongyin said, "Zhan Qing’s father sent her abroad."
Chi Yue was shocked.
"Why would they do that..."
Clearly, the Zhan family was ready to abandon Zhan Youyou just a while ago, and now they sent Jiang Ruan abroad for her. Is there so unknown secret in this?
Fu Rongyin looked at her deeply, "When I was brought to the Qi family, were you this worried about too?"
Chi Yue awkwardly coughed, "Didn’t you already know that?"
Fu Rongyin reached out with his long arms and pulled her into his embrace, "Yueyue, if you don’t like being here, I can take you away."
He was so earnest, she almost fell under his spell.
Reason made her avoid his gaze, "Stop it, we’re already here. If we don’t accomplish sothing, we’ll have trouble wherever we go in the future."
