Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 503: Chapter 503: He Wants to See You

Nan Yuan called him as soon as he could, "Did you see the video?"

Chi Yue was about to open the video, "Not yet."

Nan Yuan was silent for a long while before saying, "I’ve never understood why you could fall in love with Fu Rongyin again after forgetting him, but now I know, because what he can do for you is something I may not be able to do."

Chi Yue was puzzled, "Has something happened?"

"Just watch the video and you’ll see."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yue opened the video, and as she watched the few minutes of footage, her expression grew increasingly tense. noveldrama

The video had been recorded by Chi Jianshan.

In the video, Chi Jianshan said, "Thank you all for such concern about Chi Yue. I thought rumors would self-dissolve in the face of truth, but relentless manipulators keep directing people in the wrong direction. Chi Yue is my daughter, the legitimate daughter from my marriage with Bai Qing, and not someone else’s daughter. Perhaps it’s because my daughter and son-in-law have been too prominent recently, affecting some people’s interests. Those who are incapable and powerless to confront my son-in-law thus resort to exploiting my daughter’s identity..."

Chi Jianshan continued, "My daughter is the life of me and my wife. I’m just an ordinary father, and I hope you will stop disturbing her. Rumors end with the wise; do not let malicious individuals take advantage of your kindness."

His tone was always gentle, but the determination in his eyes was immediately visible, as if he were that ordinary father set on protecting his child.

Chi Yue’s expression was calm, seemingly lost in thought.

By the time she regained her composure and looked up the topic again, the direction of the online discourse had already shifted.

A considerable number of people were vehemently attacking the main culprits behind the scenes, demanding that they come forward to explain themselves.

Chi Yue knew clearly that the Lu Cheng siblings would not come forward.

Even if they knew Chi Jianshan was lying, they wouldn’t step forward because they had no evidence to prove a blood relation with Chi Yue.

Most importantly, many in the circle were aware that Lu Cheng’s company had just been acquired by Fu Rongyin. Combined with Chi Jianshan’s words, everyone understood what was happening.

If Lu Cheng still wanted to stir trouble, then, when Lu Cheng tried to make a comeback, those people might not be willing to work with him.

Lu Cheng, being a smart person, could easily make a decision after weighing the pros and cons.

Thus, the incident gradually lost its heat, and Chi Yue received a lot of concern from netizens. She did not reply individually but sent a general response and then uninstalled that application.

Fu Rongyin finally returned, bringing Chi Jianshan with him.

"He wants to see you," Fu Rongyin said.

This was within Chi Yue’s expectations.

Fu Rongyin gave them space and went upstairs with Fu Mianmian.

Chi Yue took the initiative to speak, "Thank you for helping me."

Chi Jianshan had changed, most noticeably his gaze when he looked at Chi Yue.

"I used to always say I was too busy, too busy even to join you for a meal. Thinking back, you knew nothing at that time, and you must have been so disappointed."

Chi Yue, "It’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it anymore."

"Yueyue, are you still angry with me?" he asked, laughing first, "You must be angry with me. When your mother was ill, I treated you and her like that...She must not have told you; she forbade me from going to the hospital."

Chi Yue looked up at him, waiting for him to continue.

Chi Jianshan said, "Your mother said she had used me for over twenty years and didn’t want to exploit my last bit of value in her final days. Yang Shulan and her daughter weren’t brought back by me; it was your mother who brought them home..."
