NOVPUB26: Chapter 26 Don’t be afraid, you still have me
26 -26 Don’t be afraid, you still have me
In the hospital ward, Chi Yue clung to Bai Qing, not letting the doctors take her away.
“Yueyue!”
Nan Bingyu rushed in from outside and instantly felt a sourness in her eyes upon seeing the scene.
She walked up to Chi Yue and softly called her, “Yueyue?”
Chi Yue lifted her head, her face calm, but her eyes lacked focus, “Xiao Yu, I no longer have a mother.”
Nan Bingyu’s tears flowed instantly, and she embraced Chi Yue, “Don’t be afraid, you still have me.”
While Chi Yue was away for a moment, the medical staff took the opportunity to push Bai Qing away.
Chi Yue just stood there, stunned, watching them take Bai Qing away, without any reaction.
Nan Bingyu felt unbearably heartbroken.
Chi Yue’s father didn’t love her, and now her mother had left her; she was truly alone.
Chu Shuo stood at the door, not daring to come in, knowing that at this time his presence would not help but might instead add psychological pressure to Chi Yue.
The phone rang, and Chu Shuo stepped aside to answer it, “Master…”
When Chu Shuo returned to the ward after the call, Chi Yue and Nan Bingyu were coming out.
There was no change of expression on Chi Yue’s face, while Nan Bingyu’s eyes were red from crying.
Chu Shuo said, “Everything here’s been taken care of, and Auntie’s affairs have also been arranged.
Nan Bingyu, please accompany Chi Yue to go through the necessary procedures.”
Chi Yue looked at him, “Thank you.”
Chu Shuo wanted to say more but ultimately said nothing.
Due to his status, he did not accompany Chi Yue to sign any papers, only appearing on the day of Bai Qing’s burial.
Even so, this matter still reached the ears of Chi Qingqing.
Chi Jianshan and Yang Shulan were discussing giving Chi Yue money, and upon hanging up the phone, Chi Qingqing slammed her mobile onto the table.
“I disagree!
She abandoned her family and now that she’s helpless, she wants to come back for money?
There’s no such good deal!
Besides, she’s got so many men around her, whoever she ends up with can ensure her a worry-free life.”
“Qingqing, don’t talk nonsense!” Yang Shulan warned her.
“It’s the truth.
She did it all, and now she can’t even be talked about?
All the men took care of her mother’s funeral.
Who in this circle doesn’t know about it?”
Chi Qingqing felt deep resentment when it came to this matter.
If it wasn’t because of Chi Yue, why would Chu Shuo have rejected her multiple times, to the point of not even answering her calls lately?
A mutual acquaintance told her that Chu Shuo was busy running around for Chi Yue, and she realized that he had been taken by Chi Yue, which was something she couldn’t swallow!
“Qingqing,” Chi Jianshan called out with displeasure, “Your aunt’s death is related to us too.
One of the reasons I’m compensating her is because of this, but more importantly, she’s also my daughter.
I can’t just ignore her.”
Chi Qingqing was infuriated, “So, you’re going to give her ten million?
You at least raised her until adulthood.
Mom and I have suffered for over twenty years, and not once did I see you compensate us.”
Chi Jianshan felt a hidden anger, “If you think this home isn’t good enough, then don’t come back!”
Yang Shulan was shocked and hastily gestured to Chi Qingqing not to speak.
Chi Qingqing knew that angering Chi Jianshan wouldn’t do her any good, so she dared not speak further.
Chi Jianshan lost his patience and said to Yang Shulan, “Then just give her the ten million and don’t bring this up again!”
Chi Jianshan returned to his study, leaving Chi Qingqing seething with anger, “Mom, why did you agree to give Chi Yue that ten million?”
If Chi Yue got the money, wouldn’t that mean she’d never see Chi Yue destitute on the streets?
Yang Shulan replied irritably, “Bai Qing’s dowry was far more than that, I’m telling you, don’t make your father angry again.
If you maintain a good relationship with him now, can it possibly make you suffer in the future?”
At those words, Chi Qingqing’s demeanor changed instantly, and she wrapped her arms around Yang Shulan coquettishly, “Oh Mom, why didn’t you tell me sooner?
Should I go apologize to Dad?”
“As long as you don’t cause trouble for him, you’re helping him out.
Go on, do whatever you need to do.”
After leaving home, Chi Qingqing met up with a few friends and egged one of them to call Chu Shuo.
At that moment, Chu Shuo was with Nan Bingyu, accompanying Chi Yue.
He stepped aside to take the call.
