Capítulo 859: Chapter 859: Is That All the Tolerance You Have?
Zhan Youyou was sick for a week, and despite living in the sa house, Chi Yue didn’t see her once.
The next ti she saw her was at the family banquet. Zhan Youyou appeared before her, looking fragile and weak, and smiled weakly at her, “Chi Yue, long ti no see.”
Chi Yue responded indifferently with a simple “Hmm.”
Mr. Qi saw them standing together and quickly called Zhan Youyou over, worried that if he was a mont late, Chi Yue would be harsh with her.
Yet Chi Yue didn’t mind; without Zhan Youyou, she felt more at ease.
Once everyone was seated, Mr. Qi announced the start of the al, but Qi Hongwen said, “Let’s wait a bit; there’s soone who hasn’t arrived.”
Chi Yue instinctively glanced around at the people at the table.
The Qi family’s progeny were few; Mr. Qi had a son and a daughter. His daughter’s family was abroad, leaving only Qi Hongwen in the country.
Everyone who needed to be there was already present, so Qi Hongwen’s words successfully drew everyone’s attention.
Mr. Qi frowned with displeasure, “What kind of nonsense are you saying now? Everyone’s here. Who else hasn’t arrived?”
“My wife.”
Those three words were like a bombshell, shocking everyone at the table.
Qi Hongwen’s expression remained unchanged, “I found my wife. Now that I’m back alive, and she’s alive too, I have an obligation to bring her back.”
Mr. Qi snapped out of his shock and shouted angrily, “You never got married, where did this wife co from?”
“If I don’t have a wife, did my son spring out from a crack in a rock?”
As Qi Hongwen spoke, he got up and walked out, “She’s here.”
In a short while, he returned with Fan Xuesong.
Chi Yue hadn’t seen Fan Xuesong in a long ti and noticed that her complexion had improved considerably. She didn’t seem out of place standing next to Qi Hongwen.
Noticing Chi Yue’s gaze, Fan Xuesong looked over at her and nodded, then was seated next to Fu Rongyin.
Chi Yue saw that Fu Rongyin showed no expression, transitioning quickly from shock to calm acceptance.
As Qi Hongwen and Fan Xuesong sat down, Mr. Qi beca angry again, “What do you think the Qi family is? Just any stray cats and dogs can co in?”
Qi Hongwen looked at Zhan Youyou, “We’ve kept a useless person in the house for so long; one more person doesn’t make a difference, especially since it’s my wife.”
The repeated use of “wife” enraged Mr. Qi, his entire body trembling, “You’er is my future granddaughter-in-law, how can you compare the two?”
“It’s exactly as you said, she’s the future. The future is full of uncertainties, while my wife has already given two children. She has more reason to stay.”
Mr. Qi’s face turned livid. He wanted to say a few words in defense of Zhan Youyou but couldn’t find anything to say.
At this mont, Zhan Youyou suddenly stood up and spoke weakly, “Grandpa, please don’t be troubled. They’re right; I am indeed an outsider. You’re truly a family, so there’s no need to argue over . I’ve been staying here for a while now, and during this ti, I’ve been grateful for Grandpa’s ticulous care.”
Chi Yue raised an eyebrow, puzzled by Zhan Youyou’s sudden shift in strategy, playing the role of the pitiful damsel.
She couldn’t tell if Zhan Youyou’s long illness or her deliberate attempt to resemble Lin ii resulted in her current dainty appearance.
Mr. Qi had always been fond of her, but upon hearing her words, his expression was beyond unpleasant.
He glared at Qi Hongwen grimly, “You’re comparing yourself to a child, is this the extent of your vision?”
