Page 554 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Lady Fan watched her warily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I understand now; you pick on the soft ones, thinking I’m easy to bully, right? Fine, I also want to take the legal route. By the way, how can you get a divorce certificate without my presence?"

Chi Yue had also figured it out. Although Fu Rongyin had made good progress on this side, he still couldn’t match Lady Fan in terms of connections.

So she believed that Lady Fan must have been involved in this.

Sure enough, Lady Fan’s expression changed when she saw Chi Yue was serious.

At this moment, the always silent Lu Nanxi spoke up, "Miss Chi, you’ve just established your footing in the company; making such a hasty decision might ruin the entire company."

Chi Yue said indifferently, "Even if it really gets ruined, it’s still my company."

Lu Nanxi’s face stiffened slightly as she looked towards Lady Fan.

Lady Fan still had a stern face, "Are you sure you want to take the legal route?"

"Wasn’t it you who suggested it?" Chi Yue tossed the question back.

Seeing Lady Fan’s face darken further, Chi Yue felt a rare sense of elation.

"Lady Fan, it’s only natural that you want your son by your side, but destroying another person’s harmonious family is asking for bad karma. I advise you not to go too far."

Lady Fan’s face turned green with anger.

"With that attitude, do you think I’ll let you in? I want to see how you’re going to wear me down!"

With that, she stormed off.

Lu Nanxi didn’t leave; she looked deeply at Chi Yue, then glanced at the invitation on the table, "Chi Yue, sometimes it’s good to bend a little. And you’ve misunderstood Auntie; the divorce was proposed by Fu Rongyin. To be precise, Fu Rongyin did it to please Auntie."

Chi Yue watched her quietly, "And then?"

"You’re a smart woman; you should know what’s best for Fu Rongyin. Of course, you can also continue to oppose the Gu Family, but considering the means of the Gu Family, I wonder how long you can hold out."

Leaving these words behind, Lu Nanxi walked away without looking back.

Chu Shuo was waiting outside. Seeing that both Lady Fan and Lu Nanxi had left and Chi Yue hadn’t come out, he knocked and pushed the door open.

Chi Yue was sitting on the sofa, looking at two invitations spread out before her, seemingly lost in thought.

"What did they say?" Chu Shuo asked.

"They came to declare war."

Chi Yue casually picked up the engagement invitation, tore it into pieces, and threw it into the trash.

Chu Shuo raised an eyebrow, "Whose is that?"

"The one Lu Nanxi fantasized about unilaterally."

Chu Shuo laughed, "And the other one?"

"Lu Cheng is marrying into the Gu Family; how could I not join in the excitement?"

Chu Shuo’s smile widened, "Alright, I’ll go with you."

Everyone says Chi Yue is easy to bully, that besides being good-looking, she has no distinguishing features. Little do they know, all her actions reveal she’s not someone to be trifled with.

Years ago, she missed ten years with Fu Rong because of hypnosis; deep in her subconscious, she sought revenge on the Fu Family. Later, when she was thrown into prison, she found a way to escape. Otherwise, with Lady Fan’s means, she would not have been able to walk out alive.

Afterward, when she learned the truth, she didn’t hold a grudge against Fu Rong...

In truth, Fu Rong had not done anything too wrong. The fault lay with those outsiders who interfered in their relationship.

He thought that this time, Fu Rong would not be able to escape her grasp.

Weekend.

Chi Yue brought Fu Mianmian back to the Bai Family; along the way, Mianmian kept asking for daddy, but as soon as she reached the Bai Family and saw Bai Bixuan’s child, she immediately forgot about daddy.

The happiness of a child is really simple.

While the children played, Chi Yue had a chat with Bai Bixuan.

"Situ En received the Gu Family’s invitation too, right?"

"Yeah," Bai Bixuan sighed, "He’s not keen on going, but father-in-law said we can’t afford to offend the Gu Family right now."

Over the years, the real power of the Gu Family gradually fell into Lady Fan’s hands.

Using her authority, Lady Fan did many things contrary to the Gu Family’s business principles.

If it weren’t for long-term partnerships, many companies in Hai City wouldn’t be keen to continue working with the Gu Family.

The current partners are there out of respect for the old master of the Gu Family. Once the old master is gone, the situation could change.

No one had spoken of these matters to Chi Yue before, and she was shocked to learn of them.

No wonder Lady Fan was in such a rush to acknowledge Fu Rong. Her best bet to secure her position was to find an ally.

And Fu Rong was the best ally she could ask for; Xi Yihang was also considered, but ultimately, he wasn’t as suitable as Fu Rong.

As she considered this, a flash of inspiration crossed Chi Yue’s mind, moving too quickly for her to catch.
