Page 189 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Chi Yue returned to Nancheng and spent a few quiet days when she suddenly heard news of Fu Rongyin’s return from Hai City. She immediately went back into a state of vigilance.

However, what she hadn’t expected was that before she met Fu Rongyin, she would first run into Fu Hanyan.

Fu Hanyan had been abroad for a while, and they hadn’t been in contact during that time.

When they met again, Chi Yue noticed that the look Fu Hanyan gave her had become even more complex.

In the café, Chi Yue and Fu Hanyan sat facing each other.

Chi Yue spoke first, "I heard you went abroad to study, and I didn’t even get the chance to say goodbye."

Fu Hanyan curved her lips slightly, "It was a last-minute decision, a surprise to everyone. I heard you got engaged to my brother?"

Chi Yue shook her head, and without explaining that it was a rumor Xu Zhenwen had spread, she merely said, "That’s just wild speculation, nothing of the sort."

"But when I asked my brother, he said it was true."

Chi Yue suddenly looked up, unable to hide the surprise on her face.

Fu Hanyan was also surprised, "Could it be that my brother said so himself?"

That didn’t seem like something he would do at all.

Chi Yue felt complicated, but after thinking it through, she felt it could be a strategy from Fu Rongyin to keep her from leaving.

Wanting to change the subject, she didn’t expect Fu Hanyan to add, "Chi Yue, it may be presumptuous of me, but I still have one question to ask you."

"Go ahead."

"Nan Yuan... is Nan Yuan pursuing you?"

Chi Yue shook her head, "I just see him as a brother, and he is now my psychologist."

A flicker of delight passed quickly across the depths of Fu Hanyan’s eyes, "But I heard he went with you to Hai City."

"Yes, he took me to find Situ En."

"Situ En? The psychologist as renowned as he is?"

Chi Yue nodded.

Fu Hanyan couldn’t help but feel puzzled, "Do you... Do you have psychological issues?"

Chi Yue said, "They all say I’ve lost my memory."

Fu Hanyan was taken aback, "You’ve lost your memory and you don’t know it?"

"I don’t feel much, just that some memories are blurred, but it doesn’t affect my life."

After hearing this, Fu Hanyan looked at Chi Yue with full sympathy.

Seeing this, Chi Yue couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "I don’t think it’s inconvenient, whether or not I have those memories is up for discussion."

"But what if you’ve really forgotten someone important? Memories are part of you, and losing part of them means your life isn’t complete."

...

At night, Chi Yue lay in bed unable to fall asleep.

Her mind kept revisiting the words Fu Hanyan had said to her, along with the nonsensical things Fu Rongyin had told her; she suddenly made a decision.

Since they were her memories, she should figure out what exactly had happened that made her choose to forget that part of her memory, right?

Early the next morning, Chi Yue called Nan Yuan.

By that time, Nan Yuan was preparing to leave, and he was quite surprised to receive her call.

"You’ve returned to Nancheng?"

"Yes, I’m back. Nan Yuan, could you help me out again?"

Nan Yuan, puzzled, asked, "Are you in trouble?"

"I want to retrieve that memory, can you do it?"

Nan Yuan was silent for a long time before he said, "Have you made up your mind?"

"I’ve decided. Since it’s my memory, there’s no reason for me to have lost it."

"Alright, Situ En and I will arrive tonight and look for you tomorrow."

Chi Yue set up a time for the consultation with Nan Yuan and immediately felt relaxed all over.

After freshening up, Chi Yue went to the studio.

The person in charge was quite relaxed about managing her, because even when Chi Yue took leave, it didn’t affect the studio’s business. Since Chi Yue’s return, the studio’s performance had been even better than before, with the manager wishing he could extol her endlessly.

Chi Yue worked until noon and then received a phone call from Xu Zhenwen, after which they arranged to meet at the café downstairs.

Xu Zhenwen placed an envelope in front of her, "This is your payment for the appraisal you did for me."

Chi Yue didn’t hesitate and accepted it, "The matter with Ling Jiayu and Fu Rongyin, I haven’t finished that so quickly."

"Of course, if Ling Jiayu was that easy to deal with, I wouldn’t have needed your help. But you need to be prepared. Ah Yin has already negotiated terms with the Ling Family. Having used Ling Jiayu’s name for so long, he must compensate the Ling Family."
