Chapter 787: Chapter 787: The Bond Between Husband and Wife
Mr. Qi’s attitude was even worse than before, verging on forcing her to put her finger print on a document.
“Chi Yue, you are now Ah Zhou’s wife, after all. Isn’t this pettiness of yours going to be laughed at if word gets out?”
Chi Yue stood straight-backed, “I act honorably and sit upright. Why should I fear being laughed at? The world is not filled with unreasonable people.”
Mr. Qi’s face darkened, “Is it just an apology you want? Come with me to the police station now and let that girl apologize, and we can put this behind us.”
Chi Yue’s thin lips curved slightly as she looked at Zhan Qing, who had been silent all along, “Do you think the same?”
Zhan Qing pondered for a moment, “I am here today to accompany old Mr. Qi.”
Actually, that wasn’t true. Old Qi had tricked him into coming.
Of course, having grown up under Mr. Qi’s watch, Zhan Qing wouldn’t disgrace him in front of others.
Chi Yue nodded, “I thought you were here to settle scores with me.”
“Chi Yue!” Mr. Qi rebuked angrily: “Zhan Qing is part of the Zhan Family, so what if he’s here to vent for that girl? Just say it, what will it take for you to go to the police station with me?”
“I’ve made my stance quite clear, I will not go, and it is impossible for me to go, unless she comes to apologize to me first, sincerely and genuinely!”
“You are being unreasonable! She is in custody now, even if she wanted to apologize, she can’t. You come with me, let her make amends and apologize, and we can put an end to this!”
Chi Yue sighed softly, “You are of such an age, surely you understand that the police station is not a place where she can come and go as she pleases? I am sorry, but I cannot agree to your request.”
Seeing Chi Yue unyielding, Mr. Qi grew even more furious, “Chi Yue, don’t be so aggressive. I came here to discuss with you. Since you won’t accept, then I’ll go deal with this through Ah Zhou. The house is his; when the time comes, don’t blame him for not considering the affection between husband and wife.”
At this, Chi Yue genuinely laughed.
It seemed that Mr. Qi was truly out of options, resorting to using Fu Rongyin to pressurize her at this time.
She kindly reminded, “You might be mistaken. The house at No.1 Bay is under my name, and moreover, only my name is on the property deed. Even if you go to Fu Rongyin, that won’t change the result.”
Mr. Qi, just like last time, was so angered that his eyes rolled back.
Before he fainted, Zhan Qing had his assistant take him away, while he himself stayed behind.
Chi Yue waited for him to speak, but after a long wait, he remained silent, just sitting quietly, apparently lost in thought.
Unable to hold back, Chi Yue asked, “What do you want to say?”
Zhan Qing finally looked at her, “Someone asked me to convey a message to you – he won’t let Zhan Youyou out.”
Chi Yue knew without guessing that it was Fu Rongyin; she replied undisturbed, “That’s his business.”
Zhan Qing’s eyes deepened, a barely perceptible smile flickered across his face before disappearing.
He stood up, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”
“Wait,” Chi Yue called him, “Didn’t you come here for a matter concerning Zhan Youyou?”
Zhan Qing looked perplexed, “Why talk about her?”
Chi Yue: “…She is part of the Zhan Family.”
Zhan Qing indifferently said, “At most, she’s just someone with the Zhan Family’s blood. With the shameful deeds she has done, no one in the Zhan Family wants to be associated with her.”
Chi Yue was struck with realization, then she suddenly understood.
No wonder the first person to seek her out after Zhan Youyou got into trouble was Mr. Qi instead of the Zhan Family. She should have gleaned the Zhan Family’s attitude towards Zhan Youyou from this incident.
