The madam he was referring to was Chu Ningyi’s mother and also her former mother-in-law.
Qiao Yaruan looked at Shui Anluo as she thrust her book into Qiao Yaruan’s hands. “Alright, Older Sister is going to meet some VIPs,” said Shui Anluo. When the chauffeur opened the car door, she bent down and entered the car, leaving a foolish-looking Qiao Yaruan.
She was returning to the Chu family home once again. It had been exactly one year since she left that place.
The Chu family villa was located at the midpoint of ‘A’ City. It was the most luxurious among the villas in the area. Although she had been there before, she would still gasp in admiration over its brilliant magnificence.
Shui Anluo got out of the car dressed in simple, light-colored sportswear while sporting a high ponytail. It suited her at her age of twenty-one.
“Miss Shui, the young master is waiting for you,” said the maid as she escorted Shui Anluo inside.
‘Young Master?’
‘Wasn’t it the Madam who had wanted to see her?’
As Shui Anluo walked in, the hall was just as clean as ever but there was a stifling atmosphere in the air.
Shui Anluo carefully walked in and looked at the man who was seated on the sofa. It was the man who had apparently just come out of the closet.
“Director Chu,” Shui Anluo addressed as she smiled but when her gaze landed on the desk, a sense of horror could be seen in her large eyes. She quickly ran toward the photograph on the table and grabbed it. It was a picture of a mother carrying a little baby outdoors.
That baby was her son.
“What’s the meaning of this?” Shui Anluo questioned in a trembling voice.
“Shui Anluo.” The man who was sitting slowly rose to his feet. His refined features seemed as if any term used to describe him would be blasphemous. His voice was cold to the bone.
Shui Anluo could not help but step backward. She gently pursed her lips as she lacked the courage to look him in the eye.
“You’re the first person who has dared to scheme against me,” Chu Ningyi said coldly.
Shui Anluo clenched her fists and tried very hard to calm herself. She then smiled graciously. “What are you saying, Director Chu? I can’t seem to understand your meaning.”
“Shui Anluo, you’ll understand things very soon,” said Chu Ningyi before he grabbed Shui Anluo’s wrist and dragged her outside.
“Chu Ningyi, when we got divorced, everything had been stated and signed off very clearly. Upon our divorce, we won’t ever disturb each other. Everything was cleaned up and neither of us has the right to acquire anything from the other party after our divorce,” Shui Anluo cried out in an attempt to remind him of the contents of their agreement.
Chu Ningyi’s footsteps came to an abrupt halt. He suddenly turned around and trapped Shui Anluo against the car’s door.
Shui Anluo let out a m.u.f.fled groan. “That really hurts!”
“Shui Anluo, you’ve manipulated me,” Chu Ningyi retorted in rage. No wonder she had agreed to divorce him so easily. Previously, he did not think that it was an issue when she had mentioned that clause. However, he never expected her to plan such an intense scheme from such a young age.
Upon being accused of manipulating him again, Shui Anluo finally lost it as well. She forcefully pushed him aside then looked at him from head to toe. “Director Chu, watch what you’re saying. What have I done to manipulate you? Have I ever schemed against you for money or someone by your side?”
At this moment, Shui Anluo was like a little lioness whose fur was standing on end. She was entirely filled with the urge to bite this person if he pushes her again.
“The child…” Chu Ningyi’s thin lips started to move as he spat the words out coldly.
“Heh, how very funny. What does my child have to do with you? Can’t I have a child with another man?” Shui Anluo suddenly laughed as she tidied her clothes. She then lifted her head and grinned at the incensed Chu Ningyi. “Director Chu, it isn’t your business if your ex-wife was expecting so don’t overthink it. The pregnancy wasn’t the fruits of your labor and the birth wasn’t your contribution either. Director Chu, you better just wash up and go to bed.”
