NOVPUB25: Chapter 25 Chi Yue, Don’t Be Impulsive
25 -25 Chi Yue, Don’t Be Impulsive
“A man brought it, said he was your friend.”
Chi Yue thought it was sent by Chu Shuo, and after some downtime, she sent a “thank you” emoji to Chu Shuo.
Chu Shuo might have been busy, as he hadn’t replied to her message.
Two days had passed, and while Bai Qing’s condition had stabilized, she hadn’t regained consciousness yet.
Chi Yue hadn’t closed her eyes in two days.
The caregiver, seeing her so exhausted, had advised her several times to rest, but she had refused each time.
That afternoon, as usual, Chi Yue was sitting by Bai Qing’s bed when the caregiver brought in two food containers.
“Miss Chi, your friend wanted me to remind you to eat no matter how busy you are, and to not wear yourself out.”
Only then did Chi Yue remember that Chu Shuo had never replied to her message, which made her wonder. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
If it were Chu Shuo, he would have come to see her.
She asked the caregiver, “Did he mention his last name?”
The caregiver replied, “You said he was your friend, so I didn’t ask.”
“The next time you see him, please ask for his name.”
“Okay.”
The door to the hospital room suddenly opened, and Chi Qingqing appeared at the door, looking at her with disdain, “I think it’s because you mess around with too many men that you don’t even know who sends you stuff.
Chi Yue, your mom is like this, how can you still not stop involving yourself with other men?”
Yang Shulan interrupted from behind Chi Qingqing, “Qingqing, hold back a few words.”
“She dares to do it, aren’t people allowed to talk?”
Chi Yue put the food containers away, walked up to Chi Qingqing, and casually picked up a small stool beside her, “I heard it’s you who upset my mom into a coma.”
Chi Qingqing, having been hit by Chi Yue twice before, quickly backed away upon seeing her pick up the stool, “What are you trying to do?”
Yang Shulan was also frightened and shielded Chi Qingqing behind her before saying, “Chi Yue, don’t be impulsive, we came here to give you money.”
Chi Yue stopped.
Yang Shulan handed her a card, “Here is one million.
Use it first.
If it’s not enough, I’ll have your dad transfer more to you.”
Chi Yue sarcastically curled her lip, “If you really cared that much, you would return my mother’s dowry to me instead.”
Yang Shulan’s face changed slightly, “Chi Yue, you should ask your dad about that, I didn’t meddle in their affairs.”
Chi Qingqing spoke sarcastically, “Exactly!
Chi Yue, I heard your mother wasn’t favored at home.
Are you sure she had a dowry when she married my dad?”
Chi Yue clenched her fists, standing there staring at the pair whose faces were thicker than walls.
“Yueyue.”
A weak voice came from behind her.
Chi Yue immediately returned to Bai Qing’s side, “Mom, you’re awake.”
“Yueyue, let them go, Mom…
has something to tell you.”
Chi Yue turned to the caregiver, “Aunt, please show them out.”
“Why?
We kindly came to see you, and this is how you treat us?
Chi Yue…”
Before she could finish, the caregiver had already ushered them out.
Bai Qing held Chi Yue’s hand, “Yueyue, Mom knows she doesn’t have much time left.
Listen to me, go get the dowry back.
If he refuses, find Mom’s lawyer and sue him…”
The monitors starting beeping incessantly, perhaps due to her emotional excitement.
Chi Yue kept nodding, her voice trembling, “Don’t talk now, I’ll call the doctor.”
She pressed the call button by the bed, but when no doctor appeared after a while, she ran towards the nurses’ station.
By the time she returned with the doctor, Bai Qing had already closed her eyes forever.
…
When Nan Bingyu received the call from Chi Yue, she was at a gathering with Fu Rongyin and Chu Shuo.
She turned pale, grabbed her purse, and left.
Chu Shuo called out to her, “Leaving just after you arrived?”
Nan Bingyu’s voice trembled, “Chi Yue’s mother has died.”
