Page 412 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Nan Bingyu pondered for a moment, her tone becoming heavy.

"What exactly is your situation now? Do you need me to send Xuanxuan over?"

Only then did Chi Yue ask seriously, "If Xi Yihang found you and begged you to come back, what would you do?"

Half-jokingly and half-seriously, Nan Bingyu said, "If he dares to force me, I will die with him."

Chi Yue: "..."

After finishing the call, Chi Yue felt even more troubled.

She would rather not have remembered so many things, just the fact that she had let him down would have been enough. Unfortunately, she remembered him and knew that she owed him twice.

However, Chi Yue didn’t dwell on it for long before throwing herself back into her work.

Before leaving on a business trip, Nan Yuan told her that she was to entertain an important guest today.

It was only when Chi Yue saw the guest that she realized it was Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng, also surprised to see Chi Yue, quickly composed himself.

"Miss Chi, long time no see."

Chi Yue nodded in acknowledgment and was ready to get down to business right away, but Lu Cheng said, "There’s no rush, let’s talk for a bit first."

Chi Yue put away her materials.

"I saw the news yesterday, about you and Nanxi, and her and Fu Wu..."

"I have nothing to do with Fu Rongyin, Miss Lu need not be confounded over this matter," Chi Yue interrupted him.

Lu Cheng looked slightly surprised, "You have nothing with him?"

"Yes, my relationship with Fu Rongyin is the same as with you, purely professional."

Lu Cheng gave her a deep look and said, "I see, Miss Chi keeps her personal and professional life separate."

After that, he stopped discussing personal matters and started talking business with her.

The Lu Family’s standing in Hai City was almost equivalent to that of the Bai Family, far surpassing Chi Yue’s fledgling career.

Therefore, throughout the cooperation process, Chi Yue was extremely cautious, fearful of any mishaps.

Fortunately, the discussion went through without any major issues.

Lu Cheng smiled, "Miss Chi, you’re quite different from what I imagined."

Chi Yue gave a faint smile.

Strictly speaking, they had only met twice, once at Bai Bixuan’s wedding and the second time was now.

To talk of understanding, there really wasn’t much to go on, mainly imagination.

Before leaving, Lu Cheng told Chi Yue, "We will meet again soon."

Chi Yue did not know why, but since Lu Cheng had no intention of explaining, she did not dwell on it.

A few days later, Chi Yue received a call from the Bai Family, asking her to come home.

Since Bai Bixuan was discharged from the hospital and returned to the Situ Family, Chi Yue hadn’t seen her again.

On the way to the Bai Family’s house, she received another call instructing her to go directly to the Situ Family’s house.

It was only at the Situ Family’s house that Chi Yue found out that Situ Wei’an had returned; she had been about to make a move on Bai Bixuan and her child when Situ En caught her.

Looking at Situ En, his eyes full of hatred, he said, "Tell me, haven’t we been good enough to you? Is it because we were too merciful that you became so unrestrained, daring even to attack my wife and child?"

Yin Qiuheng and Situ Mingfan expressed deep distress, "How did I raise such an ingrate? You are truly heartless!"

Situ En looked at them and said, "I’ve already called the police. There’s no use trying to persuade me. If we don’t handle her this time, who knows, next time she might target me, or even you."

If this had been a normal day, Yin Qiuheng would have surely said that he was blowing things out of proportion.

But today, Yin Qiuheng did not challenge him; instead, he said, "Let’s leave this matter for you to handle."

Situ Wei’an looked at them incredulously, then let out a sinister laugh.

"Look, this is the difference between your own children and adopted ones. Don’t adopt me if you’re just going to treat me as an outsider. Is it true that you’ll only feel relieved about me once I end up in prison like Chi Yue?"

She pointed at Chi Yue, her eyes filled with disdain.

"But I might fare a bit better than her because, no matter what, you wouldn’t be like that old lady in the Fu Family, intent on having her dead even in prison!"

Bai Dongyang was shocked, "What are you talking about? Say it again!"

Situ Wei’an said with pride, "You surely didn’t know, but the months Chi Yue spent in prison were filled with none but bad days. Furthermore, she had to protect the child in her womb. Her ordeal was much crueler than you can imagine."
