Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 507: Chapter 507: The Wishful Plan Must Have Failed

That day, Chi Yue was with her two children in the front yard when she saw Fan Xuesong through the iron gate.

It had been a long time since she last saw Fan Xuesong. Even when Chi Yue was hung out to dry on the internet by the siblings of the Lu Family, there had been no word from Fan Xuesong.

Chi Yue didn’t like Fan Xuesong, and the feeling was mutual, but today, Fan Xuesong had picked a time when Fu Rongyin wasn’t home to make a visit.

For safety reasons, Chi Yue didn’t invite her in. Instead, after sending the children into the house, she went out to confront her.

Fan Xuesong snorted lightly, "You really have quite the personality, not even bothering with the niceties."

Chi Yue countered, "We were never close with your family, so there are no niceties to speak of."

Fan Xuesong deepened her gaze, "I’m here today not to exchange petty words with you. I heard you’ve been looking for someone?"

Chi Yue was on guard, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"There’s no need to hide it from me. If I wasn’t certain, I wouldn’t have come here. The person you’re looking for is Nan Bingyu, right? That child is pitiable, locked up for so long. If I couldn’t bear to see it anymore, I wouldn’t have come to you."

Chi Yue’s face changed slightly, "You know where she is?"

"If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have come here."

Chi Yue looked into her mocking eyes, her heart gradually steadying.

Regardless of whether the news Fan Xuesong brought was true, if it was, would she tell her without any conditions?

"What’s your condition?" Chi Yue asked.

"Leave Ah Yin."

"Impossible."

Fan Xuesong looked down on her with a condescending attitude, "Chi Yue, do you know how talented Ah Yin is? Keeping him tied down here is like clipping his wings! If it weren’t for you, he could climb even higher, go even further!" noveldrama

Chi Yue was unmoved, "You overestimate me. I’m just a woman who takes care of the household. I never meddle in his company’s affairs. If you have opinions about him, please discuss them with him face-to-face. I lack the ability to influence him with pillow talk."

Chi Yue wasn’t lying.

She never involved herself in Fu Rongyin’s company matters. They would occasionally talk about it, but she never offered suggestions.

It seemed Fan Xuesong’s calculations had fallen through.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xuesong said, "Just tell him, the Gu Family is looking for a partner. If he’s interested, let him come to me to chat. Additionally, I’ll tell you the whereabouts of your friend."

"Thanks for the kind offer. I appreciate it," Chi Yue said.

"Foolish!"

After dropping these two words, Fan Xuesong left without looking back.

Chi Yue calmed her emotions and returned to continue playing with the children. After both children had fallen asleep, she called Fu Rongyin.

The phone was picked up just one second before the ring ended, and Fu Rongyin’s voice, tinged with fatigue, came through the receiver, "What’s up?"

Chi Yue asked, "Will you come home for dinner tonight?"

"Yes, I’ll try to come back early," he replied.

"Okay, I’ll make your favorite dishes."

Fu Rongyin said he’d come home early, and Chi Yue thought that meant he would arrive after dark. But the sun hadn’t fully set when he arrived home.

Chi Yue was astonished, "You’re back so early today?"

"I came back after finishing work."

"Wait for me, I’ll be done soon," Chi Yue said.

Fu Rongyin stepped up behind her, watching her hustle and bustle for quite a while when he suddenly said, "Let’s have the aunt stay over at the house tomorrow."

Since Fu Rongyin’s surgery, Chi Yue had been handling all of his and Fu Mianmian’s daily meals.

It wasn’t that Chi Yue’s culinary skills were exceptional, she just wanted to compensate him by taking care of him personally.

Fu Rongyin knew her intentions, so he had indulged her wishes, but he didn’t want her to continue exhausting herself.

Chi Yue was taken aback at first, then joked, "It seems you’ve grown tired of my cooking and started to find it bothersome."

Fu Rongyin’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, he straightened her body, and kissed her unexpectedly.
