Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Keeping to the Moral Bottom Line
Zhan Youyou’s face grew darker and more sullen, yet she couldn’t retort.
Just then, Lin Shishi suddenly emerged from the crowd, walking straight towards Chi Yue.
Zhan Youyou noticed something was off, and guardedly blocked her, “Lin Shishi, what are you doing?”
Lin Shishi chuckled lightly, “What are you afraid of? I’m not here for you, I’m here for Mrs. Fu.”
Zhan Youyou’s face suddenly turned pale.
Lin Shishi actually knew!
Her mind hadn’t processed it yet, but her body once again blocked Lin Shishi, “Lin Shishi, this matter doesn’t concern you.”
Lin Shishi gave her an innocent smile, “I’m not trying to meddle in your affairs, I just want to thank her, that’s all.”
With that, Lin Shishi bypassed Zhan Youyou, stopping in front of Chi Yue. Seeing Fu Rongyin discreetly shielding Chi Yue behind him, Lin Shishi felt an even deeper sense of mockery towards Zhan Youyou.
“Mrs. Fu,” Lin Shishi called softly, “we met last time, together with Yunyun.”
Chi Yue had noticed her as she approached. She was Lin Wanyun’s friend, and had been there when Chi Yue went out with Lin Wanyun last time, a girl who was very easygoing.
Chi Yue lowered her guard, nodded slightly, “Hello, I remember, you’re Miss Lin.”
Lin Shishi smiled, “Mrs. Fu, you’re so beautiful that I didn’t recognize you at first glance. So stunning. Also, I didn’t expect you to be Mrs. Fu. If I had known Mr. Fu was the Crown Prince of the Qi family, I should have clung to your leg long ago.”
Chi Yue chuckled, “You’re exaggerating.”
She knew Lin Shishi said this for Zhan Youyou to hear, so she naturally had to cooperate with Lin Shishi’s act.
Luckily, Lin Shishi knew her limits. She said, “You all have a chat first; I’ll catch up with you later.”
As Lin Shishi walked away, she instinctively glanced in Zhan Youyou’s direction, meeting Zhan Youyou’s fierce gaze, which made Lin Shishi’s smile grow wider.
By this time, the guests were already restless.
From the moment Lin Shishi called out “Mrs. Fu,” everyone pricked up their ears to listen in on their conversation.
Now, seeing Zhan Youyou’s expression, anyone who wasn’t a fool could understand the implications of Lin Shishi’s words.
This Crown Prince from the Qi family was already married, with a seemingly celestial wife, whom Lin Shishi also knew.
This led everyone’s gaze towards Zhan Youyou to carry a bit more meaning.
Zhan Youyou couldn’t stand these looks; she rushed up to Fu Rongyin and questioned, “Qi Yizhou, don’t forget your promise to Grandpa Qi. If this marriage doesn’t happen, how will you explain it to him?”
Fu Rongyin wanted to speak, but Chi Yue stopped him.
Chi Yue calmly said to Zhan Youyou, “Miss Zhan, thank you for liking my husband, but I currently have no plans to divorce him. Our family of three is very happy now, and I hope you can uphold moral boundaries and not become a third party in ruining someone else’s marriage.”
“Happy?” Zhan Youyou seemed to hear a joke, “Chi Yue, are you sure you’re happy now? He hasn’t been home for the past few days, he’s been with me. Keeping him like this is doing him harm. You’re ignorant, foolish!”
Before Chi Yue could reply, Fu Rongyin stepped in, “I’ve been with Zhan Qing these past few days. If you’re clinging to Zhan Qing, what does that have to do with me?”
Zhan Youyou didn’t expect that, even after all she said, Fu Rongyin still defended Chi Yue. Her face visibly darkened, “So you’re willing to give up the stage of Beijing for an ignorant woman, Qi Yizhou? Are you content with that?”
Fu Rongyin nodded slightly, “I, Fu Rongyin, have always belonged solely to Chi Yue. In my world, it is only that she does not want me, not that I would give her up. If you insist on dragging me into committing bigamy, I’ll have no choice but to report it to the police.”
