Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 526: Chapter 526: Chi Yue, I Will Compete with You Fairly

The two encountered each other at the elevator entrance, with Ah Rou greeting her first, "Miss Chi, are you here to see Ah Yin? He’s in... the lounge, shall I take you there?"

Chi Yue walked past her, looking behind her, as the secretary hurried towards her.

"Mrs. President, the president is in the office and has sent me to bring you over."

Chi Yue nodded slightly, "Thank you for the trouble." noveldrama

Seeing Chi Yue following the secretary, Ah Rou called out to her from behind, "Miss Chi..."

Chi Yue turned around, interrupting her, but her words weren’t meant for her; instead, they were directed at the secretary by her side.

"Which department does that lady belong to?"

"Mrs. President, Ah Rou is the secretary’s new assistant," the secretary replied.

Chi Yue nodded, "Since she’s new, then let her first get a good grasp of office etiquette."

Ah Rou stood behind, her face turning shades of green and red.

Chi Yue was merely addressing the issue of her title, but Ah Rou usually addressed people in that manner and had never seen any objections from her. Today, she probably came here to scare her by abusing her authority.

Ah Rou contained her gaze and headed towards the pantry.

Chi Yue entered the office and didn’t see Fu Rongyin; recalling what Ah Rou had said earlier, she whispered something to Fu Mianmian. Mianmian’s eyes lit up, and she cheerfully ran towards the lounge.

In the blink of an eye, she heard the voices of Fu Mianmian and Fu Rongyin.

Chi Yue didn’t enter, instead sitting on the sofa and replying to Nan Bingyu’s message.

Nan Bingyu’s mood seemed to have stabilized quite a bit recently, but Chi Yue hadn’t completely let down her guard.

Ever since that night she caught Nan Bingyu crying, she no longer believed in Nan Bingyu’s daytime happiness.

She had always been good at hiding her feelings, just inadvertently revealing them in front of herself.

A shadow fell over her head, Chi Yue raised her eyes, meeting a pair of profound ones.

"Mianmian said she’s hungry. Where would you like to go eat?" His voice was slightly hoarse, yet it still carried his unique charm.

Chi Yue finished typing the last sentence and stood up, "Let’s just go to the staff restaurant. I haven’t tried the food here yet."

Fu Rongyin looked at Fu Mianmian, who nodded vigorously, "Mianmian wants to try too."

And so, the family of three appeared in the restaurant.

Chi Yue chose a spot and sat down with Fu Mianmian, while Fu Rongyin went to the kitchen and came back with two trays filled with their favorite dishes.

Fu Rongyin was a qualified husband and father, looking after them attentively, making it really hard to find fault with him.

After Chi Yue had her fill, her gaze inadvertently swept over a nearby table, meeting a pair of resentful eyes.

Chi Yue’s lips curved slightly, retrieving her gaze, and she stood up to go to the restroom.

Exiting the restroom, she could hear voices in the hallway.

"Ah Rou, didn’t you say the president and his wife weren’t on good terms? But just now, everyone saw that they’re quite affectionate, are you sure..."

The words were cut off by a cold interruption, "As you said, everyone saw it. In places where everyone can see, one has to consider certain things. Besides, does Miss Chi seem like the sort who would let things slide when she’s in the right?"

"Not at all. I think she’s quite nice. She even smiled and chatted with us when we greeted her earlier..."

"Don’t get bought over by small favors right in front of you, especially since she hasn’t started showing you any small favors yet."

"..."

The conversation ceased abruptly; then, footsteps followed behind her.

Chi Yue saw a face appearing in the mirror.

Ah Rou dropped her façade, "Heard it all? It’s good that you did, saves me the trouble of finding another time to tell you. I won’t give up on Ah Yin. As you saw, he hasn’t kept his distance from me, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept me here. Chi Yue, I will compete with you fairly."
