Chapter 668: Chapter 668 Anxious
Chi Yue furrowed her brows as she regarded the woman, "What are you trying to do now? Use public opinion to pressure me? Lady Fan, have you not considered that if I were afraid of public opinion, I wouldn’t still be entangled with Fu Rongyin? This move is pointless against me."
A flicker of an unusual color appeared in Fan Xuesong’s eyes, but it quickly vanished.
She continued, "Even if you don’t let me see my son, you can’t stop me from seeing my granddaughter, can you? He’s my only son..."
As more and more onlookers gathered, Chi Yue’s expression grew colder.
Fan Xuesong was trying to use public opinion and morality to coerce her, but what Fan Xuesong didn’t understand was that such things were utterly ineffective against her.
"Lady Fan," Chi Yue spoke languidly, "you’re anxious because you know Mr. Qi has come to Nancheng, aren’t you?"
Fan Xuesong’s gaze snapped to her, her expression full of disbelief.
Chi Yue knew she had guessed right.
"Don’t waste your time, Mr. Qi has already sought me out. By coming here now, you may have already let it slip to him."
Chi Yue didn’t know what kind of past Fan Xuesong had with the Qi family, but she knew that Fan Xuesong must be wary of the Qi family and needed Fu Rongyin on her side, which is why she was clinging to her like this.
The incident today must have been a last resort for her; given her character, she would never willingly kneel and beg in such a low voice.
Fan Xuesong looked at Chi Yue, her gaze shifting from shock to calm.
Standing up, she said, "Since you know, I have nothing to hide. Let Ah Yin come back to me, otherwise, he will be taken away by the Qi family."
"Do you have the capability to protect him?" Chi Yue clearly didn’t trust her.
"He’s my son. I’d risk my life to protect him."
Chi Yue couldn’t help but let out a laugh.
"What are you laughing about?"
"I find it laughable that a person who once abandoned their child is now claiming they would risk their life to protect their own child. Don’t you find it funny?"
"Chi Yue." Fan Xuesong’s face was stern, "I’m not joking with you. The Qi family devours people without spitting out bones. If you can’t convince him to trust me, Ah Yin will definitely be taken away by them, and then, not just me, but even you and Mianmian will struggle to see him."
Chi Yue’s response was the same, "Save those words for Fu Rongyin. I don’t have the right to decide for him."
When Chi Yue returned to the office, Dai Qiu hurried in.
"Mr. Chi, are you alright?"
Chi Yue shook her head, "Check if there are any photos from just now online. If there are, find a way to remove them."
"Okay. Also... should we tell Master about this?"
"No need."
She hadn’t decided yet how to tell him.
But ten minutes later, Dai Qiu informed her that Fu Rongyin was there, waiting for her downstairs.
Chi Yue went downstairs and walked to the Maybach parked by the roadside. She pulled open the passenger door and sat down.
Fu Rongyin held the steering wheel with one hand while tapping on his phone screen with the other. After a while, he looked up.
"You have nothing to say to me?"
Chi Yue, "Don’t you already know?"
"Tell me what I’m supposed to know."
Chi Yue laughed out of exasperation, "Don’t you have other things to do? I still have work."
"You’re the boss, leave those things to your subordinates."
Chi Yue didn’t take the bait and instead asked, "Who told you?"
Fu Rongyin continued to look at his phone, and from the steadily lowering pressure around him, Chi Yue could sense his mood was very bad.
She didn’t speak, waiting for him to begin.
