Chi Yue took it over, glanced at it, and then put it into her bag.
“Mr.
Fu, can you help solve the Chi Family’s matter as soon as possible?”
“I cannot.”
Chi Yue’s expression changed again, “But we had an agreement…” 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
“We have no deal.
You also said it was a matter of willingness.
I agreed to help because I felt I could make amends, but I also might not compensate, especially since you made no demands.”
Chi Yue had not expected Fu Rongyin to say such a thing.
She had never thought about asking Fu Rongyin for help before, but now she had no way out.
She pursed her lips and said, “Miss Gu is preparing to move in, right?
If she happens to be home the next time I come…”
“Chi Yue, do not threaten me.”
Chi Yue took a deep look at him, “Whether it’s a threat, you’ll know when the time comes.”
Chi Yue left No.1 Bay and went to find Nan Bingyu.
Nan Bingyu had just come out of the hospital, and the two met at the arranged spot.
Nan Bingyu remarked, “Chu Shuo hardly pays me any attention now.
Do you think he’s foolish?”
Chi Yue: “I shouldn’t have called you over.”
“Sigh, we have to face it someday.
By the way, didn’t you say you had something to tell me?”
Chi Yue nodded, “The Chi family’s company is in trouble, and I’m desperate to retrieve my mother’s dowry.
Do you have any other suggestions?”
Having experienced a debacle involving Lin Yibin before, Nan Bingyu was also apprehensive.
She said, “I’ll go home and ask if my family knows any lawyers with strong expertise; by then, communicate through legal means to retrieve it.”
Taking a pause, she asked, “I heard that Fifth Young Master Fu has extensive connections in this area.
Why not ask him for help?”
Chi Yue’s face turned ashen, “Things fell through with him,” Chi Yue should have known earlier.
Thinking of her own brother, she said, “If nothing else works, just find a lawyer to stall for time until my brother comes back to help you.
He and Fifth Young Master Fu were classmates, and well-connected.
This will not be difficult for him.”
It all depends on whether he is willing to help or not.
Chi Yue shook her head, “Let’s not bother your brother.”
She could still try approaching Fu Rongyin.
Nan Bingyu didn’t understand.
Her own brother was even more approachable than the icy Fu Rongyin, yet Chi Yue seemed very afraid of any contact with her brother.
Once her brother comes back, she intended to properly nudge these two.

Chi Yue contacted Fu Rongyin once more, and his attitude was no different from last time.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, she received documents sent by a lawyer on behalf of Fu Rongyin, surprisingly from Chi Jianshan, who was voluntarily sending the dowry.
Chi Yue completed all the procedures with the lawyer the same day.
Only when she securely obtained all the management rights to Bai Qing’s assets, did Chi Yue feel assured.
But more troubles followed closely.
Chi Jianshan approached her the very next day.
“Yueyue, you see Dad has given you the dowry.
Now the company is in trouble, can’t you help Dad solve some financial issues?”
Chi Yue refused outright, “It’s not that I won’t help you solve it, I just don’t have the ability.
You better think of another way.”
Chi Jianshan’s demeanor changed immediately, “How can you talk to your father like this?”
“I’m telling the truth.
I do not have the capacity to help you.
These assets have just come into my hands, and I can’t let them be destroyed under my watch.”
“Then go ask Fu Rongyin!
Since Fu Rongyin could help you once, he can help you a second time!
I am your father, and if the company goes down, this family will be gone too!”
“I have no family anymore!” Chi Yue looked at him coldly, “Don’t think about using me anymore, our familial affection ends here.”
“You want to break relations with me?” Chi Jianshan couldn’t believe it, “Do you think you can live well after you break relations with me?”
“Even if I live poorly, I won’t have to worry about someone barging into my room to harm me, nor will someone covet the things my mother left me.”
Chi Jianshan trembled with rage, “Fine, fine, remember your words.
From today on, you are no longer a member of the Chi Family!”
Chi Jianshan stormed out, his expression foul.
On the contrary, Chi Yue felt relieved.
From now on, she wouldn’t have to worry about anyone trying to steal her possessions.
She began to use her spare time to study management further, to better manage the properties under her name.
One day at work, a colleague mentioned someone was looking for her.
She went to the reception room, only to find that the visitor was Fu Rongyin’s mother.
