NOVPUB18: Chapter 18 Is He Pursuing You?
18 -18 Is He Pursuing You?
Chi Yue soothed, “I won’t be in trouble, that was just an accident.”
While speaking, Chi Yue gave Chu Shuo a pleading look.
Chu Shuo immediately understood and said to Bai Qing, “Auntie, don’t worry.
There were a lot of us there last time, and Chi Yue wasn’t hurt.”
Bai Qing glanced at him and said no more.
Chu Shuo accompanied them back to the ward and wanted to speak with Chi Yue, but she was too occupied, so he gave up.
Chu Shuo chatted with them in the room for a while before leaving.
In the elevator, he turned on his phone, which now had a picture of Chi Yue as the screensaver.
It was the photo Bai Qing had just taken of Chi Yue, which he had downloaded from Chi Yue’s social circle.
He was dazzled at first sight, and on the second look, he wanted to hide her away.
A phone call came in, and a voice hurried him, “Did you suddenly come down with an emergency?
You suddenly asked me to take you to the hospital out of the blue, and it’s been half an hour and you’re still not out, you didn’t even let me accompany you, are you secretly keeping an illegitimate child here?”
Chu Shuo resumed his careless demeanor, “No illegitimate child, but possibly a legitimate one.”
“Damn, really?
We agreed to drown together in the sea rather than going ashore, and not only did you go ashore, but you’re also planning to put down roots there?”
Chu Shuo stepped out of the front gate, opened the door of one of the cars, and sat in, “Just you talk a lot.
Hurry up and go, or Master will have our heads.”
“Speaking of which, Master has been all smiles lately, how many is he hiding exactly?”
“If you have the guts, why don’t you ask him?”
“Guess I better not then.”
…
In the ward, as soon as Chu Shuo left, Bai Qing asked Chi Yue, “Yueyue, tell Mom the truth, is he pursuing you?”
Chi Yue paused, “Why would you think that?”
“Mom has been around and can tell his intentions.
Just consider it carefully, he knows Fu Rao, and if you get involved with him, you will face many unnecessary troubles in the future.”
Chi Yue said, “I’ve only met him a few times, I don’t have those sorts of feelings, and I don’t think he does either.
Besides, he is the one Chi Qingqing is interested in.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qing frowned even deeper, about to say something, when the door to the ward was opened from outside, and Chi Jianshan and Yang Shulan, mother and daughter, stood at the door.
It was unclear whether Chi Qingqing heard what Chi Yue had just said, but her look at Chi Yue was venomous when she entered.
Chi Yue indifferently swept them with her gaze before turning it away, continuing to massage Bai Qing.
Chi Jianshan approached the bed, his expression cold, as if the person before him was not his wife but his enemy.
“Why did you ask me to come over?”
Bai Qing’s gaze swept over Yang Shulan and Chi Qingqing, her voice colder than his, “I asked you to come alone, but you brought so many people, others would think you’re here to force the legitimate wife to abdicate.”
Chi Jianshan’s face grew stern, “We’re all family, what can’t you say?”
“If you considered me and my daughter as family, you wouldn’t have done something as heartless as kicking your daughter out of the house!”
Chi Jianshan’s face turned ashen, and he couldn’t utter a word in rebuttal.
Yang Shulan said to Chi Qingqing, “Let’s wait outside.”
“Why should I?” Chi Qingqing shook off her hand, “It should be clear whether I was kicked out or left on my own, you know it better than anyone.
Chi Yue, playing tricks outside is enough, but do you have to be so cruel to your own family?”
Chi Yue looked at her.
Yang Shulan tugged at Chi Qingqing, signaling her to stop speaking, but Chi Qingqing wouldn’t listen.
She pointed at Chi Yue, “You don’t know, do you?
She provoked the bride at Fu Rao’s wedding and then tried to seduce Fu Rao’s Fifth Uncle, not just that, now she’s even trying to steal the man I love!”
Bai Qing’s face instantly paled.
She looked at Chi Yue, who was unruffled, “Mom, what she’s saying isn’t true.”
“Isn’t it?
Dare you confront someone about it?”
“Why wouldn’t I?
By the way, you haven’t settled the score with me for causing me to fall into the pool the other day, and here you are at my door, let’s settle this once and for all.”
As she spoke, Chi Yue slapped Chi Qingqing, the force of the slap reddening her face immediately.
Yang Shulan screamed in shock, “Qingqing!
Qingqing, how are you?
Does it hurt?”
“Chi Yue!” Chi Jianshan trembled with anger, “You hit your sister in front of me, do I not exist in your eyes as your father?!”
“Then consider me without a father, after all, we don’t exist in your eyes either.”
Chi Jianshan already had no wish to come, but after her words, he turned and left.
Yang Shulan hurriedly pulled Chi Qingqing to catch up, but halfway there, Chi Qingqing suddenly broke free from her grasp and returned to the ward in a few strides.
Chi Yue heard footsteps and turned around, just to see Chi Qingqing raising her hand to strike her face.
Chi Yue reacted swiftly, but not swiftly enough to dodge Chi Qingqing, who had already reached her.
Just as she thought the slap was going to land solidly, a figure rushed over and grabbed Chi Qingqing’s hand.
