Chapter 177: Let Me Say It First

Chi Yuan felt extremely heavy-hearted when he left the ward.

But she didn't go downstairs immediately.

Not long after she left the ward, she returned to the outside.

For some unknown reason, she wanted to hear what her parents would say again.

Many times, the truth will not be told to someone’s face, especially if it is something unpleasant to hear.

"Looking back now, I should have paid more attention to her and let her get involved in Chi's work earlier. Things would be different now."

Wen Yurong said helplessly: "You are still too indulgent to Yuanyuan."

It seems that the mother is more worried, while the father is more at ease.

"What's wrong with indulgence? He's the child we spoiled. If anyone makes a mistake, it's our fault. Yuanyuan is still very attentive."

"Are you serious about what you just said to her? If the Chi family really goes bankrupt, where will the money come from to treat your illness? Yuanyuan will not be valued in the Qi family either."

"You're overthinking it. Qi Wang will definitely take over the Qi family. Do you think he won't help Yuanyuan? Let's not worry too much and let her do it herself. You did the same thing before. Why did you keep Yuanyuan at home..."

…

Chi Yuan felt extremely heavy-hearted when he walked out of the inpatient building.

Of course she believed what her father said, but if she really messed things up, she would feel guilty.

Absolutely no mistakes!

Chi Yuan stood in front of the building for a long time without moving a step.

Patients' families, nurses and doctors came and went, and the smell of disinfectant was particularly pungent.

But for some unknown reason she stood there unable to move.

A little tired.

"What are you standing there for?"

A cold and disdainful male voice came from behind. Chi Yuan didn't turn around, nor did he feel that he was calling him.

"You're just running around everywhere, wasting time. What on earth does Ah Wang see in you?"

This time, Chi Yuan was sure that he was calling him.

Chen Jinxuan hasn't left yet.

"My business has nothing to do with you." Chi Yuan turned around and saw Chen Jinxuan leaning against the wall.

What was different from before was that he had closed his white coat at this moment.

Chen Jinxuan is a doctor, so it's not surprising that he came to this hospital today to do something.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Your father has given you the power, what else do you have to worry about?" Chen Jinxuan stood up straight, his hands in his pockets. "If you still have concerns, give the power to Awang. He'll manage the company for you, and you should be relieved."

Chi Yuan: “…”

If it were her old self, she would really listen to Chen Jinxuan's advice.

"Doctor Chen, go ahead and do your work. I'm going home."

Chi Yuan no longer lingered.

"Awang is staying at my house for now. If you want to see him, go find him. I also hope you can quickly resolve these messy issues. It's such a simple matter, but you've made it so troublesome."

Chen Jinxuan left, stretching lazily and speaking casually.

Maybe he just said it casually, but Chi Yuan couldn't just take it lightly.

Qi Wang didn't reply to Guibaidao, so did the Qi family know about his return to the country?

If it weren't for the purpose of concealing the truth, he could have just gone back home.

Before he knew it, Chi Yuan drove to the vicinity of Chen Jinxuan's private villa.

But she parked the car some distance away from the villa and did not go to find him immediately.

Chen Jinxuan’s private villa... Chi Yuan didn’t pay much attention to it. She only remembered that his villa had a very beautiful name, called Heart of the Ocean.

Chi Yuan walked into a chain coffee shop.

But... unfortunately, she ran into Qi Ye head-on.

“…”

The two of them stared at each other, neither of them speaking first.

Chi Yuan was able to remain calm, but Qi Ye could no longer greet people with a smile like before.

"What a coincidence, we can meet here too."

Qi Ye spoke first, with the corners of his mouth raised, but the sarcastic tone was not concealed at all.

He was just about to leave the cafe, holding a takeaway bag in one hand and holding a woman's hand in the other.

The woman looked at her in confusion, then hid behind Qi Ye, seeming to be very afraid of her.

No... Why does this woman look so familiar? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.

Looking closely, there was some hostility towards him in her eyes.

Where have you seen me before?

Chi Yuan nodded nonchalantly: "Yeah, what a coincidence."

She and Qi Ye had nothing to talk about.

Qi Ye hasn't made any noise recently. Previously, rumors about his illness were flying around. Although they didn't spread widely, they still had a significant impact on him.

There was no new conflict between them. Chi Yuan walked around the two of them and looked for a place to sit down.

When she found an empty seat at the back of the cafe, Qi Ye actually returned with the woman.

Chi Yuan originally planned to pretend that he didn't see the two people.

But...that woman actually sat down opposite her.

There was a vicious glint in his eyes.

The woman seemed to hate her.

"What else can I do for you, young lady?"

Chi Yuan lowered her eyes and watched the woman's fingers tapping on the table, as if tapping on her heart.

Boom, boom.

It sounded like danger approaching. "Ms. Chi, we've met before, but it seems you don't remember me at all."

The woman suddenly fiddled with her bright red nails: "But it doesn't matter. We are a family from now on. Miss Chi, please remember this."

"My name is Chen Jinyu. We met at Mr. Bai's birthday party. Now, I am Qi Ye's girlfriend and your future sister-in-law."

When Chen Jinyu said this, he raised his chin, as if showing off to her.

Given Qi Ye’s current situation, is there anything to brag about?

Chi Yuan didn't understand, but remained calm.

"Yeah, I understand."

She just responded calmly without any other expression.

Chen Jinyu...is Chen Jinxuan's sister.

She remembered that Chen Jinxuan was adopted by the Chen family, but Chen Jinyu's situation was rather special.

She was a child of the Chen family who disappeared in the early years. Because she was very close to Chen Jinxuan when she was found, she was taken home together.

Chen Jinxuan doesn't like himself, and his sister seems to have a lot of opinions about him.

Chi Yuan occasionally doubts himself.

What did she do to make these brother and sister hate her so much?

Ye Ranran likes Qi Wang, but what about Chen Jinyu?

And...how did she become Qi Ye's fiancée?

If the two of them are together for the sake of profit, wouldn't Chen Jinxuan have a hard time?

Chen Jinyu's purpose in taking the initiative to answer her was simple, which was to embarrass Chi Yuan.

Of course she hated her, but she would not be as stupid as Ye Ranran.

But Chi Yuan's indifferent response made her feel angry.

"I'm going to be frank with you. Now Aye is my fiancé, and I will definitely do my best to protect everything about him. I can pretend I don't know about your past with Aye, but... I don't care what your reasons are. If you dare to touch Aye, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death."

Because of her words, Chi Yuan finally looked at her straight in the eye.

It's really... unbelievable.

"You like him very much?"

She doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, only the stance. She will defend anyone who is against her side.

For the first time, Chi Yuan wanted to get to know Chen Jinyu.
