Chapter 717: Chapter 717: Refusing to Speak
Nan Yuan was silent for a long time, and in the end, he only said, “This matter will be concluded soon, at which time, you can ask him yourself.”
Chi Yue laughed, “You won’t tell me, he won’t speak, when do you think this will end?”
“Chi Yue, Fu Rongyin isn’t young and uninformed, he has his reasons for everything he does. You should focus on your recovery first, anything else can wait until he returns.”
Chi Yue knew she wouldn’t get any useful information from Nan Yuan, so she didn’t press any further.
Two days later, Chi Yue was discharged from the hospital and returned to the Chi Family home.
Fu Mianmian didn’t know what had happened between the adults, but because she hadn’t seen her parents for such a long time, she refused to go to school and would not leave Chi Yue’s side.
Chi Yue didn’t force her, allowing her to stay in the room with her.
That day, Fu Mianmian suddenly whispered to her, “Mommy, Zhan Mobai called me.”
“Hmm?”
She was somewhat surprised, not expecting the two children to be in contact, “What did you two talk about?”
“Zhan Mobai said his mommy would bring him to visit me and that he brought me a gift.”
Lin Wanyun was coming over?
Chi Yue’s brows twitched imperceptibly, “Did he say when they would come?”
Fu Mianmian shook her head. Just then, a call came through on her phone watch. Fu Mianmian’s eyes lit up, and she answered, “Zhan Mobai! I was just about to look for you, when will you come over?”
Zhan Mobai’s childish voice came through, “We’re at the door now, why is there nobody at your house?”
Fu Mianmian immediately slid off the bed and scampered downstairs, and soon after, she returned with Zhan Mobai and Lin Wanyun in tow.
Having not seen him for a while, Zhan Mobai’s young face seemed even more serious than before, and the inherently smile-averse boy appeared preemptively mature for his age.
He greeted Chi Yue, “Auntie, I heard you were ill, so Mommy brought me to see you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wanyun entered.
“Feeling any better?”
Chi Yue looked at her, eyes filled with scrutiny.
Lin Wanyun laughed, “You don’t need to look at me that way, the Zhan Family doesn’t know I’m in Nancheng. They only know that I’ve taken Xiao Bai out to take a breather.”
As she spoke, she walked to the bedside, looked over Chi Yue’s complexion, and said, “Looks like you need good rest. Your complexion is too poor.”
“Miss Lin…”
“I know what you want to say, I’m not involved in their strife; I genuinely like you as a person. Besides, my son also likes your daughter as a friend. It wouldn’t be too much for him to come see his friend, would it?”
Since she put it that way, Chi Yue felt it wouldn’t be right to say more.
Fu Mianmian and Zhan Mobai saw that the two adults were chatting, so they took Zhan Mobai to her toy room.
The two women sat for quite a while before Lin Wanyun spoke again.
“What Zhan Youyou did was indeed wrong, but the Zhan Family intends to protect her. I’m not part of the Zhan Family, so don’t be hostile towards me.”
“Hmm.” Chi Yue, leaning against the headboard, let her eyes downcast, making it impossible to discern the emotions hidden behind them.
Lin Wanyun sighed, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”
“You want to help me?” Chi Yue looked up in surprise.
“Yes, I can’t let an outsider cause me to lose such a compatible friend,” Lin Wanyun smiled, “I know that after Zhan Youyou was sent back to the Zhan Family, she was confined. Even if she’s released, she won’t be able to leave Beijing anymore.”
“Who sent her back?” Chi Yue asked.
“You don’t know?” Lin Wanyun seemed surprised, “But in Beijing, everyone is saying it was you who had her sent back. If you didn’t know, those who have heard of your deeds all think you’re generous.”
