Page 83 of Entangled with My Ex’s Uncle

Chi Yue didn’t know how long she had been there or how much she had heard.

She walked up to Fu Hanyan, "Miss Fu."

Fu Hanyan smiled and took her hand, "I haven’t eaten yet; why don’t you join me for a meal?"

Chi Yue didn’t know what Fu Hanyan intended to do, ordered the meal, and asked, "Miss Fu, what brings you here?"

Fu Hanyan absentmindedly said, "I just happened to be passing by and thought I’d join you for a meal. Just now, I saw you talking to Chi Qingqing."

Chi Yue looked at her.

Fu Hanyan said, "It’s true that Chu Shuo is going to marry her; I don’t know the specifics, but it seems like Chu Shuo has also compromised."

Chi Yue felt a tightness in her heart, "Isn’t Chu Shuo not fond of Chi Qingqing?"

"Chi Yue," Fu Hanyan said seriously, "people in our circle can’t escape this fate, my brother included."

Chi Yue’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She was indeed here to tell her to leave.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "I have already cut off contact with Mr. Fu; you don’t need to worry about me clinging to him."

Fu Hanyan indeed came to Chi Yue today to probe for information.

But she never expected that with just a little prompting, Chi Yue would make her stance clear.

Suddenly, she felt somewhat sorry for her brother.

Being twins, there’s somewhat of a telepathic connection, and she was the one in the family who understood Fu Rongyin the best. Because of this, she could feel the special place Chi Yue held for Fu Rongyin.

Fu Rongyin had maintained his integrity for so many years, yet fell for Chi Yue; to say he had no feelings for her seemed a bit far-fetched.

But Chi Yue didn’t understand.

From the beginning, she positioned herself, knowing well the role she had to play by Fu Rongyin’s side.

Now that the time had come to withdraw, she could leave cleanly and decisively.

Fu Hanyan remained silent for a long while, then said, "I’m not here to persuade you to leave him, just to prepare yourself mentally. Even if I didn’t come to find you, someone else would have."

Chi Yue said, "Thank you for telling me this."

Fu Hanyan smiled, then brought up another matter.

"I remember you and my brother were in the same grade; do you remember his nemesis in his senior year of high school?"

Chi Yue thought for a moment, "I remember."

"I heard that the person went abroad for studies right after you rejected his confession; why... did you reject him?"

Chi Yue’s expression turned somewhat unsightly, but she still answered Fu Hanyan’s question, "He had threatened me."

Chi Yue had been a true ice beauty during her high school days, and coupled with her family’s adoration, she was not fond of socializing.

But at that time, there were two exceptions.

Fu Hanyan suddenly realized, "So that’s how it was~"

Fu Hanyan seemed to resolve a knot in her heart, and her smile became a bit more genuine.

After eating, she even took the trouble of driving Chi Yue back.

After that day, Chi Yue never saw anyone from the Fu Family again, nor did Fu Rongyin contact her again.

Just when Chi Yue thought she could live her days in peace, Chu Shuo personally delivered the wedding invitations for him and Chi Qingqing to her hand.

Chi Yue, holding the gold-embossed invitation, felt extremely complicated.

She wanted to ask many questions, but ultimately, she didn’t voice any of them.

Chu Shuo teased her, "Why do you only now look like you’ve been abandoned by me?"

Chi Yue, feeling helpless, "Why would you agree to marry her?"

"The family wants me to, so I will; besides, you didn’t want to marry me, otherwise I would have married for love."

Chi Yue looked at him without speaking.

"I’m done joking with you. Seriously though, what do you and number five plan to do?"

"We have already broken up."

Chu Shuo was taken aback, "He hasn’t come to find you during this time?"

Chi Yue said, "I think it’s better this way."

Chu Shuo was silent for a long while, suddenly laughed, but his laughter didn’t reach his eyes.
