Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Dead ReturnEarly the next morning, Fu Rongyin came, bringing with him a woman named Ling Jiayu. "Pack up, let’s go." Chi Yue didn’t move. "Where are you taking me?" "Nancheng." Chi Yue looked at Ling Jiayu. "With her?" Before Fu Rongyin could speak, Ling Jiayu chuckled lightly, "Otherwise, do you think I’m his secret mistress that he keeps hidden away? As she spoke, she affectionately looped her arm through his, "Ah Yin, when we get back to Nancheng, let’s go see Aunt first. It’s been so many years, I don’t know if she has forgotten me." "Alright." "Then you need to take me shopping, I have to buy her some gifts, I can’t go back empty-handed." Fu Rongyin: "Alright." Ling Jiayu made several more suggestions, to all of which Fu Rongyin agreed, appearing very accommodating. But Chi Yue knew that Ling Jiayu was mostly just adding to her own irritation. Chi Yue silently packed her things, when suddenly she heard Fu Rongyin say, "You’re coming with us." Chi Yue stopped her movements, "Are you talking to me?" "Who else?" Chi Yue continued packing, "I’m not going. Have someone take me to the airport. If you’re worried about me leaving, you can have someone watch over me." Fu Rongyin frowned, seeming like he wanted to say something, but Ling Jiayu got ahead of him, "If Miss Chi doesn’t want to come, then forget it. It’s just the two of us, Ah Yin, you haven’t shopped with me in a long time." Sёarᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Fu Rongyin glanced at her, then finally said nothing and left. Ling Jiayu smiled faintly at Chi Yue, "Then Miss Chi, I’ll see you at the airport later." The sound of the door closing came, and Chi Yue’s mood for packing evaporated. She dialed Xu Zhenwen’s number, only to find it was no longer in service. She thought for a while, then dialed Nan Bingyu’s number. Nan Bingyu was surprised, "Yueyue, have things been arranged so quickly? No, that’s not right, why haven’t you changed your number?" Chi Yue said, "I ran into Fu Rongyin as soon as I landed." Nan Bingyu was so shocked, she nearly jumped, "He discovered you again?" "Yes." Chi Yue briefly explained the situation and asked, "Xiao Yu, do you know Ling Jiayu?" "Who did you say?" Nan Bingyu gasped, "You just mentioned the name Ling Jiayu, I didn’t hear wrong, did I?" "Yes, her. Do you know her?" Nan Bingyu was overwhelmed by Chi Yue’s quick questions, her mind went blank. She rubbed her temples, and after a long moment, she said, "Answer me one question first, does Ling Jiayu look a bit like you?" "...Yes." Nan Bingyu pinched her philtrum. "Could you have seen wrong?" "No, I saw her with Fu Rongyin." Nan Bingyu’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed. Chi Yue, startled by the noise, asked, "What’s wrong with you?" After a long while lying on the ground, Nan Bingyu finally got her phone back to her ear, "This doesn’t make sense, how can someone come back to life after dying?" Chi Yue furrowed her brows, "What are you talking about?" Taking a deep breath, Nan Bingyu said, "You might not know, Qingyu’s heart was from Ling Jiayu, and also, Fu Rongyin’s corneas are Ling Jiayu’s..." Before Nan Bingyu could finish, Chi Yue interrupted her, "That’s impossible, Ling Jiayu is a completely healthy woman, she looks even healthier than I do." Nan Bingyu, holding back her shock, thought carefully yet still couldn’t believe it was true. "It doesn’t make sense. Ling Jiayu has been dead for many years; her heart was donated to Qingyu, how could she still be alive?"
