Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 574: Chapter 574: If We’re Not Suitable Together Anymore, There’s No Need to Stay Bound

Seeing Chi Yue approaching, she quickly set down her computer, "How are things over there?" noveldrama

Chi Yue said, "We’re still waiting for news. How’s Mianmian?"

"Her fever has gone down, the doctor said it’s nothing serious."

Chi Yue nodded and sat down beside the bed to tidy up Fu Mianmian’s stray hair.

Fu Hanyan kept starting to speak but stopping. Finally, she couldn’t hold back any longer, "Chi Yue, I’ve heard about you and my brother. Have you... have you really thought it through?"

"Yeah, there’s not much to think about. He had already signed the divorce papers a long time ago, and I signed too. It’s just that the document is with him, and he is unwilling to go through the process."

Fu Hanyan sighed, "Is there really no chance of reconciliation?"

Chi Yue suddenly looked up, "Xiao Yan, have you ever experienced despair? I know things between you and Nan Yuan have not been easy, but from the beginning to the end, you both firmly believed in each other. You can’t understand what I’m going through."

The saying goes, don’t preach goodness to others unless you’ve suffered their suffering. That’s what Chi Yue meant to say, to make Fu Hanyan give up playing peacemaker.

Fortunately, Fu Hanyan understood.

"I just find it very regrettable."

"There’s nothing to regret. If we’re not suitable for each other anymore, then there’s no need to remain bound together."

Although Fu Hanyan felt heartbroken, she couldn’t say much more, because after all, the fault lay with her own brother.

The next afternoon, Fu Mianmian’s fever spiked again. Just as she was stabilizing, Chi Yue received a call from Bai Bixuan, saying that the old lady was awake.

Chi Yue had no choice but to leave Fu Mianmian to go to the old lady, but halfway there, she ran back to pick up the weeping nearly breathless Fu Mianmian, while Fu Hanyan held the IV bag and accompanied her to the door of the ICU.

Only one person was allowed in for visitation, so Bai Dongyang went in first.

He didn’t stay long before he came out, looking very off.

"The elderly lady is advanced in age, I’m afraid, she can’t leave this place anymore."

Chi Yue and Bai Bixuan exchanged glances. Bai Bixuan’s eyes immediately reddened, while Chi Yue managed to calm down.

Uncle, I’ll go home and pack some things for Grandma."

Bai Dongyang nodded, "Go ahead, see if there’s anything she needs brought over."

After putting Fu Mianmian to sleep, Chi Yue headed home, Nan Yuan offered to drop her off, but she declined.

Back at home, she packed up the little trinkets that the old lady usually liked. While picking up things at the bedside, she saw a photo of the old lady with Bai Qing.

In that moment, feelings of grievance and reluctance surged clearly, and tears fell as if they cost nothing.

She hugged herself and crouched down, crying into her arm.

The same place where she sent her mother off, now she had to send off her grandma, how could life be so cruel to her?

The two people who loved her the most were both leaving her. She had already lost her mom, and was about to lose her grandma too, the affection she could enjoy in her lifetime seemed so fleeting.

The sadness didn’t last too long, Chi Yue washed her face, packed up the belongings, and returned to the hospital.

To her surprise, Fu Rongyin had also arrived.

Bai Dongyang and the others were unaware of the tension between Fu Rongyin and her, and even asked Fu Rongyin to take her home to rest.

Fu Rongyin contemplated for a moment, then walked up to her, "Come on, I’ll take you home to rest."

Seeing his outstretched hand approaching, Chi Yue mercilessly moved away.

"Mr. Fu, no need to be so courteous. I can manage things related to my grandma myself. If you have time, why not spend more time with the children, because once the court session starts, you’ll have less chance to see them."
