Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Eight Trigrams"Yo, look who’s here," a male classmate started to tease. "Isn’t that our goddess from back then? Can’t believe we’re seeing her after all these years." Two men had already come forward, "Old rules, are you married? Do you have someone?" Their rule, don’t mess with anyone who’s taken, don’t break up a family. Chi Yue was surrounded by several men and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond. Chu Shuo appeared by her side at some point, took one person in each hand, and whisked them away, "What’s the meaning of blocking the door?" "Hey, Chu Shuo, isn’t this your beloved?" Someone who was asking for trouble mentioned it, and the next second, the sounds of his pained cries and cursing were heard. "Damn it, do you have to hit so hard? It wasn’t just me who mentioned it, you can’t just hit me..." Taking advantage of the commotion, Chi Yue made her way to the women’s side. Chi Yue had been quite popular when she was a student, but now her friends had become Chi Qingqing’s friends, so naturally, there weren’t many who were willing to get close to her. Someone, beginning the conversation, said: "Chi Yue, where’s your boyfriend?" Immediately following, without waiting for Chi Yue to speak, someone else took over the conversation, "What kind of boyfriend is that? He’s just for fun; he’s not going to marry her." Some classmates were outsiders and knew less about the inner circle, so they couldn’t help being curious, "Do you all know Chi Yue’s boyfriend?" "Not only do we know him, you do too. Remember Fu Rongyin? Chi Yue is now Fu Rongyin’s lover." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Chi Yue with disdain. The once-glorious school beauty, even now, had fallen to the point of being someone’s lover. While they may have looked down on her, some were secretly envious of her; after all, a man like Fu Rongyin satisfied most women’s fantasies about a man. Chi Yue ignored their gazes and quietly sat to the side. Her attitude made those with strong jealousy even more resentful. "Chi Yue, I heard that Chu Shuo had pursued you a while ago, right? How has he now become your brother-in-law?" Upon hearing this, Chi Yue looked over, and the woman was also a friend of hers from the past, who was now said to be Chi Qingqing’s best friend. Just as Chi Yue was about to say something, a voice preempted her: "If you’re capable, why don’t you make him chase after you?" It was Nan Yuan. Nan Yuan glanced at Chu Shuo, who was sitting in the corner, oblivious, "Chu Shuo, someone’s gossiping about your marriage, do you want to come over and explain?" As Chu Shuo started to look over, the woman quickly waved her hands, "We were just talking, don’t take it seriously." But Chu Shuo did come over, casting a cool look their way, he said indifferently, "Isn’t it just a marriage alliance? Isn’t it a downer to talk about such things today?" While speaking, he asked Chi Yue, "Is Number Five not coming with you?" Chi Yue: "He said he had some matters to deal with first." Chu Shuo nodded, "Then you shouldn’t sit here anymore, go over there." Sёarch* The NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chi Yue nodded. Staying here, she wouldn’t have much to say anyway, and could even become a target for their attacks. As Chi Yue had barely taken her seat beside Chu Shuo, the door to the private room opened, and Fu Rongyin appeared at the entrance. His gaze quickly locked onto Chi Yue, and upon noticing that Chi Yue was sitting beside Nan Yuan, his hawk-like eyes instantly narrowed. He took two steps with his long legs, but someone grabbed the hem of his clothing; he turned with a frown. Gu Qingyu was looking at him with a pitiful expression, "Brother AhYin, can I follow you? Or, you could take me to Chu Shuo."
