Chi Yue's heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest as she blurted out, "Grandma, Chu Shuo is just joking with you."
With that, she didn't wait for Mrs. Bai Senior's reaction and pulled Chu Shuo toward the door.
Once they stepped outside, Chi Yue turned to him. "Chu Shuo, how could you say such things to Grandma?"
Chu Shuo didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had said. "Didn't you explain it?"
"But my Grandma isn't that easy to fool."
Suddenly, Chu Shuo spoke seriously, "Chi Yue, do you really plan to keep going like this?"
"This is my matter."
"If you need my help..."
Chi Yue shook her head, "No need, I have my own plans. Also, if you have time, pay more attention to Chi Qingqing. If the Chi Family knows you're back, they'll come looking for you."
"What would they want with me? Technically, I should be the one seeking compensation from them."
Chu Shuo was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
