Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Chi Yue Has a Marriage Agreement with Zhan Qing

“I waited for you at home for so long, and you didn’t bring Ah Yin back, so I got worried and came to check on things.” Fan Xuesong glanced towards the door, “Where’s Ah Yin?”

Chi Yue: “He doesn’t remember us anymore; he is now Qi Yizhou and is about to get married.”

“What?” Fan Xuesong couldn’t believe it, “Are you lying to me? The news in Nancheng was the same, did you send it back?”

Chi Yue had not even opened her mouth to explain when Jiang Ruan took the lead.

“She’s not lying to you, Qi Yizhou is indeed about to marry You’er.”

Fan Xuesong narrowed her eyes, “I specifically asked Chi Yue to find you for help, and you just watched Ah Yin being taken back to the Qi family and did nothing?”

“Do you think the Qi family is a place where you can come and go as you please?”

Jiang Ruan’s words seemed to trigger something in Fan Xuesong, whose complexion changed instantly.

Seeing that Fan Xuesong had fallen silent, Jiang Ruan stepped forward.

“Fan Xuesong, let’s set aside your son’s issue for now, and first resolve Chi Yue’s situation.”

“Chi Yue? What’s wrong with her?”

Jiang Ruan took out the Jade Pendant brought by Chi Yue, “Did you give this to her?”

Without thinking, Fan Xuesong said, “It’s mine.”

Jiang Ruan sneered, “It’s not yours, is it? If I remember correctly, this Jade Pendant is mine, and I gave it to Bai Qing.”

“Impossible! This Jade Pendant was clearly given to me! Jiang Ruan, what are you doing now? Bai Qing has passed away, why bring her up?”

“If you hadn’t given me this Jade Pendant, I wouldn’t have known why she didn’t come to find me. Turns out you switched it!”

Fan Xuesong denied, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Give me back the Jade Pendant. If you won’t help me, I’ll find someone else who will.”

Jiang Ruan wouldn’t fall for her trick, “Unless you clarify this matter today, don’t even think about leaving through this door!”

As Jiang Ruan’s voice fell, two bodyguards entered and stood on either side of the main entrance.

Chi Yue was shocked.

Judging by Jiang Ruan’s demeanor, the situation seemed quite serious, while Fan Xuesong appeared unaware of what was happening.

Walking over to Lin Wanyun, Chi Yue saw Lin Wanyun shake her head and pull her aside, leaving space for the two of them.

Fan Xuesong attempted to leave through the door and hadn’t expected to be blocked by a bodyguard before she even reached it.

She turned around, fuming, “Jiang Ruan, what are you doing?”

“I’ve already said, if you don’t come clean about this today, you’re not leaving!”

“Which incident do you want me to talk about? How have I provoked you?”

“You still won’t admit this Jade Pendant was given to Bai Qing? Then tell me, where did you get this Jade Pendant from?”

Fan Xuesong held back her anger, “I’ve had it for many years, who can remember such details?”

“Of course you can’t remember because this Jade Pendant was the token of a marriage arranged between me and Bai Qing when we were young!”

Upon hearing this, Chi Yue and Lin Wanyun exchanged looks, both finding shock in the other’s eyes.

Chi Yue had no idea this Jade Pendant even existed, let alone anything about an arranged marriage.

Who exactly was this arranged marriage with?

An uneasy feeling crept into Chi Yue’s heart.

Fan Xuesong’s gaze flickered but avoided looking at Jiang Ruan, “You’re mistaken, there was no such thing.”

“You may forget but I won’t. The inscription is in my handwriting. I have plenty of evidence to prove that this Jade Pendant is mine.”

Fan Xuesong looked coldly at Jiang Ruan, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“Why did you steal Bai Qing’s Jade Pendant? If you hadn’t stolen it, Bai Qing would’ve come to Beijing with Chi Yue after her eighteenth birthday to betroth her to my son. This entire mess was your doing!”

Chi Yue engaged to Zhan Qing?

Chi Yue felt that this matter was completely unrelated to her. She subconsciously looked at Lin Wanyun, only to notice that the shock in Lin Wanyun’s eyes wasn’t as intense as one would expect, as if she had already known about it.

Just as Chi Yue was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of Zhan Youyou walking in hand in hand with Fu Rongyin and immediately pursed her lips.

Just a second ago, Fan Xuesong had been arguing with Jiang Ruan, and the next moment she rushed towards Fu Rongyin.

“Ah Yin, Ah Yin, why are you with her? Come on, come home with me.”

Jiang Ruan signaled the bodyguards with a look, and they immediately blocked Fan Xuesong.

Fan Xuesong looked at Zhan Youyou as if she were looking at an enemy.

“By what right do you take away my son? Do you know who he is?”

Zhan Youyou smiled but didn’t pay attention to Fan Xuesong. Instead, she asked Jiang Ruan, “Auntie, did I just hear you say that the person who has a childhood betrothal with Brother Zhan Qing should be Miss Chi?”
