NOVPUB33: Chapter 33 Together with Chu Shuo
33 -33 Together with Chu Shuo
Chi Yue’s brow furrowed slightly, “What do you mean?”
“The fact that you’re with Chu Shuo is now known by everyone in the circle.”
Chi Yue was stunned, suddenly recalling what Chu Shuo had said to Lin Yibin that day; her lips tightened into a line.
The next second, she heard Fu Rongyin say, “The photo looks good.”
“What photo?”
“Your photo with Chu Shuo.”
Chi Yue didn’t understand; she couldn’t recall ever taking a picture with Chu Shuo, but if it was a candid shot…
Chi Yue took a silent breath, “Do you have anything else to say?”
“Lin Yibin won’t let things go after he gets out; you still have time to change your mind.”
With that, he hung up the phone.
Chi Yue held her phone, silent for a long while until, at last, she put it away and hailed a cab to the Chi Family home.
Chi Jianshan and Yang Shulan were chatting in the living room, their atmosphere quite harmonious.
When Chi Yue came in from outside, the atmosphere instantly tensed up.
Chi Jianshan’s face was stern, “You still have the face to come back!”
Chi Yue: “I’ve come to take my mother’s dowry.”
Chi Jianshan’s face suddenly changed, “What dowry?
There’s no dowry!”
Chi Yue sneered, “Although my mother is gone, her belongings don’t belong to you, especially the items clearly listed in the agreement.
If you insist on occupying what isn’t yours, then don’t blame me for retrieving them by other means.”
“You’re outrageous!
How could you speak to your father like that?
Your mother’s belongings are our joint property.
I’m not dead yet, and you’re already thinking about inheriting my wealth!”
Chi Jianshan was very agitated, his voice growing louder towards the end.
In contrast, Chi Yue remained calm, “Those things don’t belong to you; if that’s the case, I’ll see you in court.”
Chi Yue turned and walked away.
“Yueyue, wait a moment!”
Yang Shulan chased after her, “Yueyue, we can talk this over.
We’re all family; there’s no need to make things so stiff every time.”
Chi Yue’s eyes were cold.
“Who is the one who gets agitated after only a few words?
If you weren’t guiltily possessing someone else’s property, you wouldn’t be so defensive.”
Seeing that her words weren’t getting through to Chi Yue, Yang Shulan said, “I heard that you’re in a relationship?
With the young master of the Chu Family, isn’t it?”
“What’s your question?”
“Qingqing is obsessively fond of that boy.
If your relationship isn’t that deep, could you possibly give way to Qingqing?
With your qualities, you could find someone even better than the Chu Family, right?”
Chi Yue looked at Yang Shulan, shocked into silence for a moment.
Before Bai Qing died, she at least behaved politely and pleasingly towards her, but now, with Bai Qing gone, Yang Shulan couldn’t even be bothered with pretenses.
She gave Yang Shulan a deep look and walked away with long strides.
Yang Shunlan put away her smile and returned to Chi Jianshan’s side.
“You, getting upset with a child; she’s being unreasonable now.
What would you do if you irritated yourself sick?”
Chi Jianshan still couldn’t let go, “Ungrateful wretch!”
“Don’t be angry.
We still have Qingqing.
Guide her well; we can’t have her end up like that, not understanding anything.”
…
After Chi Yue left the Chi family, she dialed Chu Shuo’s number.
“Mr.
Chu, can I see you?”
“Of course, where are you?
I’ll come pick you up.”
“At the Chi Family’s main entrance.”
“Wait there, I’ll arrive in ten minutes.”
Chu Shuo arrived quickly, in under ten minutes, suggesting he was nearby.
When Chi Yue got into the car, she realized there was someone in the passenger seat—not just anyone, but Fu Rongyin.
