Entangled with My Ex's Uncle

Chapter 579: Chapter 579: A Lover Who Can’t See the Light of Day, or an Up-and-Coming Mistress?

Mrs. Bai Senior woke up.

She had been arranged by Bai Dongyang into a VIP hospital room, where the best caregiver from the hospital was found to look after her.

As soon as Chi Yue rushed into the ward, she saw Mrs. Bai Senior, who was covered in tubes, and felt a pang in her nose; she walked over.

"Grandma~"

Mrs. Bai Senior saw her too and reached out her hand toward her.

Because she was still on a ventilator and couldn’t speak, Chi Yue quietly sat beside her and talked to her.

Bai Dongyang had to go to the company, Situ En went to see him off, leaving only Bai Bixuan and Chi Yue in the ward.

Bai Bixuan’s child had been left with Situ En’s parents, and they had also been running to the hospital continuously these days, looking both haggard and unwell.

Not to mention Chi Yue.

Mrs. Bai Senior felt distressed seeing them like this, hurt in her heart and eyes.

Two days later, Mrs. Bai Senior had the ventilator removed, and she appeared to be in relatively good condition.

Chi Yue feared that she might suddenly bring up Fu Rongyin, and indeed, on the evening the ventilator was removed, Mrs. Bai Senior mentioned him.

"Miss Yue, has Ah Yin been busy recently?" noveldrama

Chi Yue’s hand paused, and she vaguely "Hmm’d" in response.

"You’re always fluttering around me, leaving everything to him; how could he not be busy?"

"Grandma~"

"Call him for me, ask him to come here, I have something to say to him."

It was understandable for Mrs. Bai Senior to want to see her grandson-in-law, and Chi Yue found no reason to refuse, so she reluctantly made the call.

In the empty corridor, the sound from the receiver seemed especially loud.

Chi Yue’s heart was still, and she waited expressionlessly for the phone to be answered.

She thought she would have to wait a long time, but the call was picked up quickly.

"Hello?"

The moment Chi Yue heard that voice, her heart was softly struck, so faintly that it was almost negligible.

And that’s exactly what she did.

"Grandma has woken up, you—"

"I will be right there."

Chi Yue was cut off before she could finish speaking.

She stared blankly at the phone, complex emotions surfacing in her eyes.

Fu Rongyin arrived quickly. Chi Yue had only been back in the ward for a few minutes before he showed up, which made her suspect that Fu Rongyin had been in the hospital the whole time, but she didn’t ask.

Mrs. Bai Senior claimed to have something to tell Fu Rongyin and shooed out Chi Yue and Bai Bixuan from the room.

Outside the door, Bai Bixuan looked at Chi Yue with complex eyes.

"Chi Yue, what do you think Grandma will say to him?"

Chi Yue thought about it and shook her head.

In fact, she knew.

Mrs. Bai Senior didn’t know she and Fu Rongyin were going through a divorce, and given Fu Rongyin’s past behavior, which pleased her, she would likely speak to him about taking care of Chi Yue.

Bai Bixuan probably guessed as much, but she said nothing.

After a very long time, Fu Rongyin walked out of the ward, and at the moment he saw Chi Yue, the light in his eyes dimmed.

"Grandma has fallen asleep. Do you need me to stay and keep you company?"

"No, thank you."

Fu Rongyin nodded, "I’ll come back in the evening."

Chi Yue neither agreed nor refused.

However, she did not receive Fu Rongyin; instead, Lu Nanxi showed up.

Lu Nanxi was still wearing delicate makeup and high heels that didn’t seem appropriate for a hospital visit.

Chi Yue blocked her at the door, "You are not welcome here; there’s no need for you to make a pointless visit."

Lu Nanxi chuckled, "You don’t need to guard against me like that; I truly came to see Mrs. Bai Senior this time, at Mrs. Gu’s request. She said, since you and Ah Yin have been husband and wife after all, and you haven’t completed the formalities yet, it’s only proper for me to visit on his behalf."

Chi Yue didn’t want to argue with her, but couldn’t help retorting, "You know that we have not yet completed the divorce proceedings. What’s your status in representing him? A lover who can’t be exposed to daylight, or perhaps the mistress about to be promoted?"
