Page 397 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Chi Yue showed up at the Bai Family residence, startling both Mrs. Bai Senior and Bai Dongyang awake.

Seeing her disheveled appearance, Mrs. Bai Senior was scared.

"Miss Yue, what happened to you?"

Although Bai Dongyang didn’t speak, his furrowed brows couldn’t hide his concern.

Chi Yue thought about the man’s soft plea for help; she opened her mouth but ultimately said, "A thief broke into my house tonight. I just came back from the police station and wanted to stay here for the night."

"How could a thief break into your house? Miss Yue, what exactly happened?"

The area where they lived was filled with high-end villas and had an impeccable security system. The Bai Family had lived there for decades without ever hearing of such an incident.

Chi Yue knew she couldn’t hide it from them, so she recounted what happened at the police station and then said, "That person wouldn’t say anything, but with the information we have, we should be able to find the person behind it soon."

After hearing her story, Bai Dongyang’s face grew somber.

"You just mentioned, who went with you to the police station?"

Before Chi Yue could respond, Mrs. Bai Senior couldn’t contain herself, "Yes, Miss Yue, how did Fu Rongyin just happen to be there? Are you keeping something from us?"

"No."

Bai Dongyang looked at her intently, "Is it no, or you just don’t want to say? Don’t forget who was the one who threw you into jail as a scapegoat. He’s helped you once; do you plan on getting involved with him again?"

"...I’m not."

Mrs. Bai Senior spoke with gravity, "Miss Yue, you’ve finally gotten together with Nan Yuan, and now you’re getting involved with Fu Rongyin again... If Nan Yuan finds out, what will he think?"

Mrs. Bai Senior and Bai Dongyang normally didn’t agree on things, but when it came to Chi Yue and Fu Rongyin, they shared the same opinion — Chi Yue shouldn’t entangle herself with Fu Rongyin any further.

Chi Yue thought the same, but once a favor is owed, a debt must be repaid sooner or later.

"Grandma, Uncle, I’ve already explained the situation to Nan Yuan, and he said he would thank Fu Rongyin in person."

"I don’t want to be the villain, but you and him... try not to meet him again if possible."

But Bai Dongyang didn’t see it that way.

Being in Hai City, and part of the same social circles, not running into each other was impossible.

Some words came to his lips, but he ultimately held them back.

The doctor said Mrs. Bai Senior didn’t have much time left, and he didn’t want to add to her troubles.

Chi Yue stayed at the Bai Family home, and ended up staying for three days.

On this day, as Chi Yue was preparing to leave, Mrs. Bai Senior stopped her.

"Miss Yue, what’s going on with Xuanxuan? I’ve noticed you haven’t contacted Xuanxuan these past few days. Don’t you miss your own son at all?"

Chi Yue was internally annoyed at herself for overlooking this aspect.

She was about to explain when Mrs. Bai Senior continued, "If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation today, I will consider you a mother who doesn’t love her child. And this lack of love, it definitely has a reason."

Chi Yue felt a headache coming on, "Grandma, don’t overthink it. We’re fine. Xuanxuan is currently with his grandmother; it’s normal for him to not be clingy with me since he’s been close with them since he was young."

Mrs. Bai Senior didn’t buy it. "Then explain why you aren’t close with him."

"There are so many mothers in the world, and inevitably some are not close with their children."

"Chi Yue," Mrs. Bai Senior called her sternly, "Xuanxuan isn’t your child, is he?"

Chi Yue fell silent.

Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Bai Senior knew she had guessed correctly, and her feelings were mixed.

She had also suspected that Nan Baixuan was Chi Yue’s child, but judging from the child’s age, he could have only been hers and Fu Rong’s.

But if Nan Baixuan wasn’t her child, that would mean the child wasn’t Fu Rong’s either.

With this thought, Mrs. Bai Senior asked another question, "If Xuanxuan isn’t your child, then whose child is he?"
