Capítulo 774: Chapter 774: Chi Yue Misses, Hits Wide
“I saw Chu Shuo coming out of the counseling room!” she said. “Later I asked my brother, and he told me that Chu Shuo has been feeling too repressed these years, suffering from moderate depression.”
Chi Yue was shocked.
She had heard about depression, the emotional instability, the irrational behavior during an episode.
That also explained why he had treated Leng Siling that way that day.
If Leng Siling knew about his condition, she probably wouldn’t hold a grudge, right?
But she wasn’t the person involved, so she had no right to decide for others.
Nan Bingyu continued, “I also heard from my brother that that little bitch Zhan Youyou has come to Nancheng, have you seen her?”
Seen her? They’d had a fight.
Chi Yue casually mentioned the meeting, and Nan Bingyu immediately slammed the table, “How could you get into a fight without bringing me along! That little bitch is lucky, otherwise she wouldn’t have walked away from me!”
Chi Yue touched her forehead, “Haven’t you been dealing with a case with Xi Yihang recently?”
Under Nan Bingyu’s manipulation, Xi Yihang decided to secure the Gu Family shares tightly and then shift his focus to his legal career.
Nan Bingyu, eloquent as she was, helped Xi Yihang persuade witnesses several times and stayed by his side as his assistant, making an excellent team.
Nan Bingyu sighed heavily, “Don’t mention it. Now he only has eyes and heart for the cases, paying no attention to his family.”
If she had known that the amnesiac Xi Yihang would be so ambitious, she wouldn’t have stayed by his side, causing her to strive for advancement too.
Chi Yue knew Nan Bingyu too well; hearing her complain, she knew it was for this reason.
She smiled and said nothing.
Because Nan Bingyu had already set her heart on a life with Xi Yihang, these issues were sweet pressure to her.
In a blink, there were only fifteen days left until the divorce verdict.
The closer that day approached, the less patience Chi Yue possessed.
Fu Rongyin hadn’t made any moves, and Xuesong hadn’t come to find her either; she had heard that Qi Hongwen had taken her away, though she wasn’t clear about where exactly.
So now, as long as Fu Rongyin didn’t interfere, she was sure to get the divorce.
Ten days before the monthly deadline, Chi Yue saw Zhan Youyou again, right at her front door.
She came aggressively, with bodyguards in tow.
Among the guards, there was one familiar face; Chi Yue clenched her fists in secret.
“Why are you silent now? Weren’t you very defiant last time at the hospital?”
The scars on Zhan Youyou’s face hadn’t healed yet, a mishap from Chi Yue’s punch intended to hit where it couldn’t be seen, which mistakenly landed on her face.
Her face was still swollen, and with her heavily applied blush, the asymmetry was even more apparent.
Chi Yue stared for a long while, then parted her thin lips, “So ugly.”
Zhan Youyou was furious, swinging her hand towards Chi Yue, who grabbed her wrist.
Zhan Youyou, embarrassed and furious, called to her bodyguards, “Are you dead? Can’t you see she’s bullying me?”
The bodyguards surged forward but then abruptly stopped.
The reason was Chi Yue pointing to a security camera on the door, “If you get involved, it’s considered creating trouble on purpose. If I lie down, it’s a minimum of three years for you all. Is it worth it for a minor dispute between two women?”
The bodyguards looked at each other, mutually taking a step back.
Zhan Youyou nearly spat blood in anger, “Go on, don’t be fooled by her!”
One bodyguard showed a distressed expression, “Young Miss, we also follow the Young Master’s orders. He said when he lent us to you, not to intervene unless your life is in danger.”
Zhan Youyou yelled, “My hand is going to break!”
Chi Yue couldn’t hold back and laughed, “The great Young Miss of the Zhan Family, just a porcelain doll, acting like a broken hand or foot is life-threatening.”
Zhan Youyou glared fiercely, trying to pull her hand free, but found she couldn’t move Chi Yue at all.
Not giving up, she raised her other hand toward Chi Yue’s other cheek.
This time, the hand was caught mid-air.
Looking closely, it wasn’t Chi Yue’s hand!
Following that hand, Zhan Youyou turned, both shocked and joyous, “Qi Yizhou, you can walk again?”
