It hadn’t even been five full days since Chi Yue’s miscarriage. How could her period have returned so quickly?

As if to confirm her suspicions, Chi Yue said, "The doctor said I didn’t have a miscarriage."

Chi Yue seemed very agitated. She calmed herself down before continuing, "I wasn’t pregnant either."

When the doctor told her the results, she even doubted if the doctor had made a mistake.

But the doctor was very certain she hadn’t erred and even had another doctor check her again, with the same result.

That is to say, she had never been pregnant at all!

Nan Bingyu was dumbfounded.

"How is this possible... but didn’t your previous tests show that you were pregnant?"

Chi Yue was also at a loss.

She said, "Don’t tell anyone about this for now; I want to get to the bottom of it."

Nan Bingyu nodded, "Should I ask my brother to help you investigate?"

Chi Yue said, "If I really can’t handle it myself, then I will ask him for help."

Both of them returned to the city center, acting as if nothing had happened.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Chi Yue had fully recovered.

That day, Fu Rongyin came back, saying he was taking her to see Chi Qingqing.

Chi Yue met the ghastly figure of Chi Qingqing in the single room of the psychiatric hospital.

If Fu Rongyin hadn’t been there, she wouldn’t even have dared to recognize her.

Upon seeing her visitor was Chi Yue, Chi Qingqing’s smile was sinister, "Chi Yue, you actually dare to come see me."

Chi Yue didn’t speak, her gaze fixated on the scarred wrists of Chi Qingqing.

The director was right beside them, explaining, "This patient tends to self-harm, so sometimes we have to take certain measures to prevent her from injuring herself."

Chi Yue suddenly understood.

She said to Fu Rongyin, "Her mental state doesn’t seem very stable right now, let’s leave."

"All right."

Chi Yue hadn’t gone far when the sound of Chi Qingqing’s abusive shouting followed her, obscene and foul to the ears.

But Chi Yue didn’t frown at all, getting into the car with Fu Rongyin and leaving.

Fu Rongyin hadn’t expected that her request to visit would mean just a single glance before leaving.

He always felt that something was different about Chi Yue, but he didn’t dare to think about it, much less ask.

"Drop me off at the studio. I haven’t gone to work in so long."

Perhaps out of guilt, Fu Rongyin drove her to the studio. He intended to say a few words, but no sooner had the car stopped than she opened the door and got out.

Fu Rongyin dialed a number and instructed, "Check who Chi Yue has been meeting with recently, and where she’s been going."

...

Chi Yue’s life gradually returned to its normal routine, working and leaving work regularly each day.

Xu Zhenwen came to see her once. After learning about her miscarriage, she gave her a pile of nourishing gifts without saying anything.

Chi Yue accepted them without error.

Carrying the gifts after work, Chi Yue encountered Chi Jianshan.

To be precise, it was Chi Jianshan and Bai Dongyang.

Chi Yue asked indifferently, "Do you have business with me? If not, I need to go back and cook for Fu Rong."

Of course, they now had a maid at home, so Chi Yue no longer needed to cook.

Fu Rong no longer came home for meals either.

Chi Jianshan looked at Chi Yue as if she were a heinous criminal, "Are you satisfied only after you’ve destroyed our family?"

The corners of Chi Yue’s lips curled into a mocking arc, "You might as well say how I managed to tear your family apart?"

"Your sister has been sent to that damned place. Will she ever come out in this lifetime!"

Chi Yue looked at him, "I don’t know if she will, but if she hadn’t been put there, and she had done something horrendous again, you both would have ended up in jail."

"You..."

"Did you think you could keep Chi Qingqing’s mental illness a secret forever?"

Chi Jianshan’s face changed dramatically, and after a moment, he asked, "You... you’re talking nonsense!"

"Whether I’m talking nonsense isn’t for you to decide. Also, during that time, Chi Qingqing didn’t just disappear on her own, she was actually locked in the basement of your house; it was just that she later managed to escape..."

Chi Yue was cut off by Chi Jianshan before she could finish, "Shut your mouth!"

Chi Yue obediently fell silent.

Seeing that the situation could soon no longer be concealed, Chi Jianshan quickly changed the subject, turning to Bai Dongyang, "Didn’t you have something to ask her?"

Bai Dongyang looked at him, then at Chi Yue, and said, "I can speak with her alone."

Implicitly, Chi Jianshan wasn’t needed there.

Fearful that his own misdeeds would be exposed, Chi Jianshan had been eager to leave. As soon as Bai Dongyang spoke up, he walked away without looking back.

Bai Dongyang sneered at his retreating figure, "I don’t know what kind of taste Bai Qing has, choosing such a man amid so many people."
