Chapter 730: Chapter 730: Lacking a Male Partner
“Zhan Youyou? He came back by himself, you might have misunderstood something about him,” Nan Bingyu said.
In Chi Jianshan’s eyes, no matter how bad Fu Rongyin was, he was still a suitable match.
Chi Yue didn’t want to say anything more, “There’s surveillance in the living room; go and see for yourself what happened.”
Chi Yue had asked Fu Mianmian and found out that Zhan Youyou came alone, but why did Fu Rongyin claim they had come together?
Unable to figure out the answer, she stopped thinking about it.
The general manager from Hai City sent a message, saying there was a wine party in Nancheng that he needed to attend but couldn’t spare anyone from Hai City, asking if Chi Yue was willing to attend.
Chi Yue learned about the party from Nan Bingyu, who mentioned that both Nan Yuan and Nan Bingyu would be attending, saying that this event was quite significant.
She agreed to go.
Even if Fu Rongyin and Zhan Youyou were attending, with Nan Yuan there, she wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
On the day of the party, just as Chi Yue was about to leave, she received a call from Nan Bingyu, who mentioned bringing a partner.
At this point, where was she supposed to find a male companion?
But Nan Bingyu said, “Chu Shuo will also be there; ask him.”
Chi Yue thought about it, “Alright, I’ll ask.”
Chu Shuo answered the call quickly and, knowing that Chi Yue also needed a male companion, they instantly agreed.
Chi Yue meant to meet at the hotel entrance, but Chu Shuo insisted on coming to pick her up no matter what.
Unable to persuade him otherwise, she went along with it.
Chu Shuo arrived quickly; the drive from the Chi family home to the hotel wasn’t long, and they hadn’t exchanged many words before they arrived.
Upon alighting from the car, Chi Yue saw Fu Rongyin stepping out of the car ahead, with Zhan Youyou following closely behind.
Chi Yue indifferently withdrew her gaze, ready to walk inside, when a chuckle sounded from behind her.
“This guy, truly a model for us men: the red flag at home stands unwavering while the colored flags flutter outside. He used to be somewhat discreet, but now he can bring them out in the open without hiding.”
Chu Shuo’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for Fu Rongyin and his company to hear.
Sure enough, the next second, Fu Rongyin looked over at them.
Chi Yue walked beside Chu Shuo, her voice low, “I don’t want to cause trouble today; let’s not engage with them.”
“Who’s engaging with whom is yet to be determined.”
As Chu Shuo finished speaking, Zhan Youyou’s voice came from behind.
“Isn’t this Miss Chi? If I had known you were coming, I would have asked my fiancé to pick you up.”
Chi Yue’s lips twitched slightly, but Chu Shuo spoke up first.
“Old Fifth, you’re doing it wrong. On one hand, you refuse to divorce Chi Yue, and on the other, you bring some unknown woman and claim her as your fiancée. Continuing like this, the little reputation you’ve built up will be destroyed by your own hands.”
Fu Rongyin, dressed in a tailor-made suit, which made him appear both lean and noble.
However, he showed hardly any reaction to Chu Shuo’s words, only reminding Zhan Youyou that it was time to go inside.
Seeing this, Zhan Youyou laughed, her chin raised defiantly, “Sir, he’s my fiancé, Qi Yizhou. Please make sure you recognize him correctly next time.”
“Tch,” Chu Shuo chuckled lightly, “This one must have a screw loose.”
Chi Yue didn’t speak, but her hand, placed by her side, clenched unconsciously.
When Chu Shuo looked at her, she quickly returned to normal, “Let’s go inside.”
“Do you want revenge?” Chu Shuo suddenly leaned in close to her.
“No need, she will make the first move eventually.”
When Zhan Youyou would strike first, she could respond quietly yet forcefully, making her the victim and ultimately gaining the upper hand.
Entering the lobby, Chi Yue saw many familiar faces, including Fu Xingchuan and Lu Cheng.
Nan Bingyu approached her immediately, his expression sour.
“What’s up with that?” Chi Yue asked.
“What was Fu Rongyin thinking? That person he brought, mouth like it can’t hold shut, claiming to anyone she’s Qi Yizhou’s fiancée.”
