Chapter 788: Chapter 788 Fu Rongyin Returns
It was not too late even now.
Amidst shifting thoughts, Zhan Qing had already reached the door.
Chi Yue hastened to catch up, “Mr. Zhan, tell Fu Rongyin that no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with me, and I will definitely not intervene on behalf of Zhan Youyou.”
It was unclear whether Zhan Qing had heard his words, as he left with long strides.
In the following days, Chi Yue did not see Mr. Qi again, and she also heard from Nan Bingyu that Zhan Youyou had been transferred to a detention center. It was said that someone had submitted new evidence involving a wide range of powers.
Zhan Youyou would not be able to come out in a short time. Perhaps Mr. Qi realized that Chi Yue couldn’t be of help, so he did not come to find her again.
However, on that day, Chi Yue learned the truth.
The situation was this: Chi Yue had gone to deliver a client’s appraisal results. While waiting, she encountered Mr. Qi and Qi Hongwen in the restaurant.
At the moment of the incident, she was sitting in a private room with the door ajar, and Mr. Qi’s resonant voice reached her; she instinctively looked back.
“Qi Hongwen, pretending to be dead for many years and opposing me as soon as you reappear. Do you think I am living too long, hoping to send me to my grave early?”
Qi Hongwen lowered his head, “I wouldn’t dare. But if you keep interfering in my son and daughter-in-law’s affairs, I won’t mind coming home early to take over the group.”
“Rebellious son! You rebel! After disappearing for decades, where do you think you still have a share in this group?”
Qi Hongwen replied calmly, “I’m afraid you might be disappointed. I have secretly managed a branch company as the general manager for decades, all for the day when my son might need me. I thought your wrecking my marriage with Xuesong, and my disappearance would make you reflect, but not only did you not reflect, you even intensified your actions against my son and daughter-in-law.”
Chi Yue was shocked.
Regarding Qi Hongwen’s disappearance, she had many guesses, but she never expected the actual situation to be like this!
Looking at Mr. Qi’s expression, it was clearly more somber than before when he was in front of her.
As if unaware, Qi Hongwen continued, “As long as I live one more day, my son’s marital affairs are not yours to decide. Someone, take the old master back to Beijing. Without my orders, do not let him leave Beijing.”
“How dare you!!! You rebel, how dare you!!!”
Qi Hongwen’s face darkened, “Take him away!”
Chi Yue watched as Mr. Qi was taken away, and Qi Hongwen stood there, watching him go. Suddenly, he looked in Chi Yue’s direction. Instantly, she turned around, her heart pounding with fear.
Soon, footsteps sounded behind her, fading away as they moved further away, and only then did she relax.
With Mr. Qi being taken away, she did not have to worry about any changes regarding Zhan Youyou’s situation.
That night, she returned home, only to encounter Fu Rongyin, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Fu Rongyin was reading to Fu Mianmian, the warm light from a floor lamp casting over them, giving the illusion of peaceful years.
Chi Yue steadied her emotions and spoke, “Mianmian, come down.”
Fu Mianmian looked up, then smiled and said, “Mommy, Daddy’s leg is healed now, look!”
With that, Fu Mianmian patted Fu Rongyin’s leg right where the injury was.
Chi Yue was terrified to see that Fu Rongyin did not react at all.
After patting, Fu Mianmian looked at Chi Yue with a beaming smile, “Mommy, did you see? Daddy is all better. I told you, Daddy didn’t come home these past few days because he was getting his leg treated.”
Chi Yue nodded lightly, acknowledging Fu Mianmian’s words.
She intended to rest in the study, but just as she reached the staircase, Fu Mianmian rushed over and grabbed her leg, “Mommy, I want you and Daddy to stay with me, can you?”
