Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 582: Chapter 582: If you have even a little bit of conscience left, don’t bother her again

"Fu Rongyin, who are you pretending for now? You should have anticipated this outcome when you did what you did. What’s the meaning of this display?"

Nan Yuan’s words were unkind, but Fu Rongyin showed no reaction, simply saying, "She hasn’t eaten in a long time. Try to get her to eat something later."

Nan Yuan couldn’t hold back when he saw Fu Rongyin’s demeanor. He dragged him downstairs and punched him in the face.

Nan Yuan actually wanted to throw a few more punches, but he held back.

He said through clenched teeth, "If you still have a shred of conscience, don’t bother her again."

Nan Yuan turned and walked towards the sickroom. As soon as he opened the door, all three women looked his way simultaneously.

Without changing his expression, Nan Yuan asked, "There’s nothing to help with over there, have you eaten?"

The response was another bout of silence.

Who could eat at a time like this?

Remembering Fu Rongyin’s words, Nan Yuan still had food sent over, but before they could take a bite, Bai Dongyang came back.

He was the pillar of the family, the decision-maker. He appeared calm, but his trembling hands and bloodshot eyes betrayed him.

Bai Bixuan turned to look outside, tears falling silently.

Chi Yue took the initiative to take the document from his hand. "Uncle, I’ll take care of the rest."

Nan Yuan said, "I’ll go with you."

After he had spoken, he quickly glanced at Fu Hanyan, fearing she might overthink. But Fu Hanyan spoke first, "Go ahead, I’ll wait for you here."

Though Nan Yuan said he would accompany Chi Yue, he ended up handling most of the procedures while Chi Yue just signed.

When they received the death certificate, Chi Yue couldn’t hold back anymore and crouched down, covering her face as she wept uncontrollably.

Nan Yuan didn’t know what to do. After a while, he crouched in front of her. "Cry if you want to, it’s better to let it all out."

Chi Yue bit her hand to keep from being too undignified, but the more she tried, the harder it was to stop her tears.

No one would call her "girl" again, no one would watch her throw tantrums unabashedly and then scold her with laughter, saying she’s such a big person yet still like a child who never grows up.

She didn’t want to be a child. Couldn’t they all just come back?

Chi Yue wasn’t sure how much time had passed when she suddenly heard Nan Yuan say coldly, "What are you doing here?"

The next second, she was lifted into someone’s arms.

Chi Yue struggled to open her eyes, meeting Fu Rongyin’s deep gaze.

She instinctively tightened her grip, but heard him say, "I won’t do anything to you. I’ll just take you back to the sickroom and leave."

Chi Yue uncharacteristically remained silent.

He did take her back to the sickroom and left without saying another word.

Bai Dongyang saw Fu Rongyin approaching. He wanted to say something but in the end, said nothing. noveldrama

The incident with the old lady had been so sudden, everyone was unprepared. Therefore, over the next few days, they were too busy to grieve, consumed with one task or another.

Finally, the day of the old lady’s burial arrived.

That day it rained, and many people came to pay their respects. The hazy rain made the atmosphere of farewell stretch long and heavy.

Chi Yue saw Fu Rongyin.

He stood among the crowd for a long time until they dispersed. With nowhere to hide, he slowly walked toward her.

"Condolences."

Chi Yue didn’t speak.

Fu Rongyin just stood by her side, silently accompanying her.

Having barely eaten over the past few days, and standing for a long time, Chi Yue’s figure wobbled, almost falling, but it was Fu Rongyin who steadied her.

Surrounded by a familiar scent, Chi Yue, who had held back her tears for days, could no longer contain them in that moment.
