Chapter 731: Chapter 731 Get out!
Nan Bingyu couldn’t stand her arrogant demeanor, but this was a gathering of reputable individuals, so she couldn’t resort to violence like the last time.
Chi Yue whispered something in Nan Bingyu’s ear, and Nan Bingyu’s expression visibly improved at a noticeable speed.
"Fine, I’ll listen to you. I don’t believe she won’t make a scene."
Nan Bingyu and Chu Shuo were called away by acquaintances, while Chi Yue excused herself from several business partners before retreating to a quieter place to rest, finding the whole event somewhat overwhelming.
Just as she sat down, a tall figure approached her.
Chi Yue slightly turned her head, meeting Fu Xingchuan’s inquisitive gaze.
"Chi Yue, you seem more tolerant than I expected."
"Then your expectations are rather limited. I’ve always been this way."
Fu Xingchuan scoffed, "I doubt that. If you were really that tolerant in the past, you wouldn’t have chased him to Beijing, nor would you have been ignorant enough to lose the child."
At the mention of the child, Chi Yue’s hand gripping the cup tightened suddenly.
That child was the eternal pain of her life, a pain that grew deeper as time passed.
But Fu Xingchuan was unaware, and he taunted her again, "Are you just going to watch your husband and the woman who caused you to lose your child flaunting their relationship right before your eyes?"
"What are you trying to say?" Chi Yue finally looked at him.
"How much longer do you plan to keep such a man?"
Chi Yue’s mouth twitched downward. "Get your facts straight. Right now it’s him who’s clinging on and refusing to divorce me, not the other way around."
She pointed toward the couple not far from them, "Do you see that? He can casually stay with the woman who caused him to lose his child, so how foolish would I have to be to even think about growing old with him?"
No sooner had Chi Yue’s words fallen than Fu Xingchuan took out his phone and waved it in front of her.
On the phone’s screen was his conversation with Fu Rongyin, and he had just sent a voice message.
Chi Yue subconsciously glanced at Fu Rongyin, who had taken out his phone to check the message and then abruptly his expression changed, and he exited the banquet hall.
Fu Xingchuan smugly put away his phone, "Bet he’s going to call me any minute now."
Chi Yue stared at him, silent.
The next second, a message came in on the phone, just three words:[Get out here!]
Fu Xingchuan pocketed his phone and continued to chat with Chi Yue as if nothing had happened.
"He’s furious, Chi Yue."
"And then?"
"He can’t let you go."
Chi Yue was silent for a few seconds, "Ask him in what capacity he’s telling you to come out."
Fu Xingchuan ignored her and said, "Guess, in what capacity did he come to this reception today?"
"Do I even need to ask?"
Fu Xingchuan sneered, "Actually, he’s here as..."
"Fu Xingchuan, are you still not giving up?"
Chu Shuo appeared out of nowhere, prompting Fu Xingchuan to instantly change his demeanor, his teeth clenched as he hissed, "Chu! Shuo! You still dare to show your face in front of me!"
Chu Shuo stood next to Chi Yue, separating the two, "Why wouldn’t I dare? It’s you who should be worried, carrying out all those sneaky deeds behind the scenes. When will you manage to take charge for once?"
Fu Xingchuan’s face darkened, "What do you mean by that?"
"Don’t think I’m unaware of the deals between you and ’Number Five’. You’ve gotten what you deserved; it’s about time you stopped."
Chi Yue looked astonished, turning to Chu Shuo, "What deals have they made?"
Before Chu Shuo could answer, Fu Xingchuan interrupted, "Why, do you want to know more about me?"
Chi Yue’s face turned sour, and she grabbed Chu Shuo’s arm, walking away.
Once they reached the grass, Chi Yue finally asked, "What do you know? Did Fu Rongyin know about Fu Xingchuan’s existence long ago? Have you been hiding something from me?"
