Chapter 640: Chapter 640: Recognized Her at First Glance
“Enough, Fu Xingchuan,” Chi Yue interrupted him, “If you want to stay, then shut your mouth. If you can’t keep it shut, get out immediately.”
Fu Xingchuan either blatantly lacked awareness or something else, but even as Chu Shuo’s countenance turned sour, he kept talking.
Fortunately, after she said that, Fu Xingchuan stopped speaking.
The meal passed without being pleasant, but at least it wasn’t ruined.
Fu Xingchuan offered to drive her home, but Chi Yue refused.
Chi Yue got into Chu Shuo’s car. After the car had driven off into the distance, Chu Shuo finally spoke.
“You like this type?”
Chi Yue had a headache. She told him everything about her and Fu Xingchuan, then said, “Right now, at best, we’re just using each other.”
Chu Shuo was first taken aback, then laughed, “Look at how Fu Rongyin has pushed you both to this point.”
Mentioning Fu Rongyin, the smile on Chi Yue’s face instantly faded by half.
Chu Shuo keenly sensed her distress and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Did he push you too hard?”
“You don’t know?” Chi Yue countered.
“Know what?”
Chi Yue looked into his eyes, filled with confusion. She wanted to laugh but couldn’t.
With a heavy sigh, she said, “I’ve told you everything, can you help me divorce him?”
Chu Shuo frowned, “Haven’t you already filed for divorce?”
“It failed. You can think it over, but Chu Shuo, I hope you can look into what he did before this.”
Chu Shuo agreed without hesitation, “Alright, I’ll look into it later.”
Chi Yue wanted to say something but ended up saying nothing.
Chu Shuo dropped Chi Yue off at her home, then turned the car towards the Nan Family’s residence.
When Nan Bingyu saw Chu Shuo, she was so surprised she couldn’t speak for a while.
“Why are you here?”
“Where’s Nan Yuan?” he asked.
There were some things better asked to Nan Yuan directly, after all, with Nan Bingyu’s feelings toward Chi Yue, she would surely exaggerate and inject her own subjective thoughts.
Nan Bingyu, unaware of Chu Shuo’s purpose, pointed to the study, “You have something to discuss with him?”
“Yeah, some private matters.”
Chu Shuo went to Nan Yuan’s study and stayed for two hours, so long that even Nan Bingyu felt something was off.
Finally, when Chu Shuo came out, she joked, “Were you guys plotting some national affair?”
Chu Shuo was still nonchalant, instead throwing a question back at her, “I heard you’ve been dating Xi Yihang recently?”
Nan Bingyu’s expression stiffened.
Chu Shuo: “I’ll remind you that Lady Fan won’t let her foster son be with you, you better be prepared in advance.”
After saying that, he left Nan Bingyu with a look of disarray.
Only when he was far away did she roll her eyes.
Her relationship with Xi Yihang wasn’t just a simple romance, but it wasn’t something she could publicly disclose yet.
——
Fan Xuesong was repeatedly turned away at the door by Chi Yue, her patience was on the verge of running out, and even if she could bear it, Lu Nanxi’s belly was soon going to be undeniable.
The more anxious they were, the more composed Chi Yue became.
She had a feeling that it wouldn’t be long before they made some big move.
One day, an unexpected visitor arrived at Chi Yue’s studio, Wen Shuxian.
Chi Yue had seen her picture and recognized her at first glance.
Dai Qiu was about to entertain her, but was sent to do other things by Chi Yue, and Wen Shuxian was invited into Chi Yue’s office.
“Sit.”
Wen Shuxian didn’t sit but looked down at her condescendingly, “So you’re Chi Yue? Nothing special. I thought you’d be stunningly beautiful.”
Chi Yue, with an impassive face, said, “You didn’t come here for an appraisal, so speak up, what do you want?”
Wen Shuxian lifted her chin, gazing at Chi Yue with contempt, “I’ll give you one million to leave Fu Xingchuan.”
Chi Yue suddenly laughed.
Wen Shuxian watched her warily, “What are you laughing at?”
“You didn’t investigate my background before coming, did you? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have started with that offer.”
“You’re just a foster daughter of the Chi Family, right? I advise you to be sensible, take the money, and part on good terms.”
Chi Yue, relaxed and leaning back in her chair, retorted, “What if I don’t? In Fu Xingchuan’s hands is the entire Fu Family, is it only worth this one million to you?”
“Of course not! If you refuse, that’s fine too, I can buy this place, and you’ll regret it when it’s too late.”
“My dear, Fu Xingchuan doesn’t know you’re here, does he? Let me guess, did someone say something to you? That I am easy to manipulate?”
Wen Shuxian’s face suddenly changed, “How did you know?”
