Chi Qingqing's eyes widened even more, "Chi Yue, you actually dare to hit me, aren't you afraid of my dad disciplining you?!"
These days, Chi Qingqing had been like a mountain chicken that had found the way, praised and held high by everyone every day. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Not to mention, she was hit by a girl who had been kicked out of the house!
Chi Yue's face darkened, ready to strike again, but then she heard Bai Qing shout, "Yueyue, come over here to mom."
Chi Yue paused, then took a few steps back towards the bed and shielded Bai Qing behind her.
"Are you here to show off your newly acknowledged father? Don't forget, he became yours only because I didn't want him."
Outsiders all thought that Chi Yue had been driven out of the house, but only members of the Chi Family knew that Chi Yue had deliberately provoked Chi Jianshan.
It was only later that Chi Qingqing found out that Chi Yue had already found a place to stay outside and had packed her luggage in advance that day, just waiting for Chi Jianshan's word.
Recovering from her shock, Chi Qingqing's eyes held a venomous look, but she brought up another topic, "I heard you picked up a man from a bar and even took him home? Chi Yue, you always act so high and mighty, who knows how many shameless things you've done behind our backs!"
Chi Yue pointed at the door emotionlessly, "I'm giving you ten seconds to disappear from my sight."
Chi Qingqing: "What's wrong, are you afraid I'll expose your indecent behavior behind closed doors?"
Chi Yue: "Are you going to leave on your own, or do I need to take action?"
Those who were familiar with Chi Yue's character knew that at this moment, she was truly angry, but Chi Qingqing's understanding of Chi Yue came from friends around her, who said that Chi Yue was easy to bully. Chi Qingqing believed them.
Thinking she had touched a sore spot for Chi Yue, she continued with her unfiltered words, "Fu Rao dumped you without a second thought and married someone else so quickly because he knew about this, didn't he?"
Chi Yue's eyes narrowed dangerously but before she could speak, Bai Qing caught her hand, "Yueyue, what's going on? You broke up with Fu Rao?"
Chi Qingqing, seeing Bai Qing's anxious look, curled her lip, "So you didn't know? Not only did Fu Rao break up with her, he got married the very next day. It happened just a few days ago."
The grip Bai Qing had on Chi Yue's hand tightened, "Yueyue, what exactly is going on?"
Chi Yue didn't look back, "Mom, I'll explain it to you later."
With that said, she dragged Chi Qingqing towards the exit.
At the end of the corridor, Chi Qingqing's wrist was almost crushed by Chi Yue's grip.
Chi Qingqing ignored the fiery pain on her face and tried to pry off Chi Yue's hand, "Chi Yue, have you gone mad? Let go of me, let go!"
Chi Yue looked slender, but she had also practiced taekwondo.
When she was young, Bai Qing felt that Chi Yue was too beautiful for her own good and, wanting her to be able to defend herself, sent her to learn taekwondo.
Seeing Chi Qingqing struggle more and more fiercely, Chi Yue suddenly let go and Chi Qingqing, caught off guard, fell down on the floor, her screams echoing down the entire hallway.
"Chi Yue, I'll kill you!"
Chi Yue grabbed her ponytail in one swift motion, forcing her to lean back, "Just with your pathetic skills? Chi Qingqing, my patience has its limits. I advise you not to provoke me again."
After speaking, she let go of Chi Qingqing and turned back to the hospital room.
Chi Qingqing stared in the direction Chi Yue had gone, her eyes filled with bitter resentment.
"Chi Yue, I will never let you have peace!"
In the hospital room, Chi Yue pulled up a chair and sat opposite Bai Qing. Due to the strenuous exercise just now, the pain in her lower abdomen intensified, making her complexion nearly transparent.
Bai Qing was about to ask her about Fu Rao when she saw the pallor in Chi Yue's face and panicked, "Yueyue, why do you look so pale? Are you hurt? Quick, let mom see where you are hurt."
Chi Yue stopped her with a raised hand, "Mom, Fu Rao and I broke up because of incompatible personalities; it has nothing to do with any other reason. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry—it's not what Chi Qingqing said."
Bai Qing sighed, "I don't believe any of the things Chi Qingqing says, but as for you and Fu Rao... perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. That doesn't matter, our Yueyue is so outstanding, you're sure to meet someone even better."
Chi Yue let out a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, mom. I'm fine. Without a relationship, I can spend more time with you."
Bai Qing felt a terrible heartache but ultimately said nothing.
After Bai Qing fell asleep, Chi Yue spoke with the caregiver for a bit.
The caregiver was someone she'd found herself, trustworthy, and reliable. It was probably Chi Qingqing who had threatened her to make the call earlier, fortunately, nothing had happened.
After giving her a few instructions, Chi Yue felt her fatigue surge.
All she wanted now was to go home and get a good night's sleep, to recover her energy so she could think of a way to get back what belonged to her.
When she arrived at the residential complex, Chi Yue got out of the car and walked towards the building entrance.
Behind her came Fu Rao's voice: "Chi Yue."
