The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO's Wife

Chapter 213

"Ningjing, go upstairs and check on your brother first. We'd like to have a word with this young lady."0

Chang Ningjing nodded in response.0

Shu Yi tensed up. Drawing from her years of experience with novels and acting, she anticipated the next scene: they would offer her a credit card and ask her to leave their son.0

"Come, young lady. We'd like to have a chat with you."0

Shu Yi grew increasingly nervous.0

The couple led Shu Yi to an upscale café near the hospital.0

"Please, have a seat."0

Shu Yi obediently sat down.0

"We'll cut to the chase and speak frankly," Nie Ling said.0Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

The couple's strong presence was palpable; as they sat there, Shu Yi felt intimidated.0

"What's your name?"0

"Shu Yueru."0

"You're an actress, aren't you? You're quite beautiful."0

Nie Ling sat poised, holding a cup of coffee, scrutinizing Shu Yi.0

"Yes, I am."0

"You two aren't compatible. I don't think you should be together."0

Nie Ling's voice was devoid of emotion, utterly neutral.0

"Mrs. Chang, we're not together."0

"Yes, I know you're not together yet. I hope you won't be in the future either."0

Shu Yi fell silent. This turn of events deviated slightly from her expectations.0

"Are you listening?" Nie Ling asked again.0

"Yes, I am."0

"Can you do as we ask?"0

Chang Huaiming's fingers drummed on the coffee table.0

Although Shu Yi had anticipated this outcome, hearing it spoken aloud still left her feeling dazed.0

Indeed, incompatibility is incompatibility. In the adult world, love isn't always enough. Often, reality trumps romance.0

Fortunately, she hadn't fallen too deeply and could extricate herself in time, cutting her losses.0

"I understand. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."0

Shu Yi maintained her composure as she spoke and stood up. It wasn't until she turned to leave that her nose tingled, and a tear rolled down her cheek.0

Perhaps it was for the best. There was no point in wasting time on a relationship without a future. From now on, she would have to learn to be neither sad nor happy, to stop thinking about him, and to stay away as much as possible.0

"How did you notice? Is it that obvious?"0

Shu Yi took out her mirror from her bag and checked her reflection repeatedly, but couldn't see anything different about herself. She wasn't wearing makeup, and her eyes weren't red.0

"When someone is pretending to be happy, it's noticeable. The tone of voice, the subtle expressions on the face – they all give it away. Right now, you're trying hard to conceal something."0

"Really? That's amazing. As expected, Yin Yin knows me best. Even my micro-expressions can't escape your keen eye."0

"Tell me about it."0

While Shen Yin was ordering, Shu Yi was organizing her thoughts.0

"You met Chang Zhiyuan's parents, didn't you?"0

"How did you know?"0

"Didn't you say they went to take care of him, so you weren't needed anymore?"0

"Impressive deduction skills, my friend."0

Shu Yi gave Shen Yin a thumbs up.0

"What did they say?"0

Shu Yi sighed and said, "They told me that Chang Zhiyuan and I aren't compatible. They asked me not to be with him, not now, not ever."0

"And you agreed?"0

Shu Yi nodded.0

"What else could I do? We really aren't a good match. They're practically aristocracy. They'd never allow an actress to enter their family. Rather than begging and struggling, it's more dignified to agree gracefully."0

Pride was still important, and now Shu Yi could only confide in Shen Yin.0

"Don't be sad, Godmother. Have some ice cream." Xu Yunzheng scooped up some ice cream and offered it to Shu Yi.0

Shu Yi was so touched she almost cried.0

"Zhengzheng, Godmother loves you!"0

Shu Yi took a bite and instantly felt better. How could there be such a sweet, understanding, and heart-warming child?0

In an instant, all her unhappiness melted away.0

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Chang Zhiyuan was about to explode with frustration. What was going on? Four people had left, and half a day had passed, but not a single one had returned. He was about to burst from needing to use the bathroom. Who could he turn to now?0

"The number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later."0

"The number you have dialed is currently busy. Please try again later."0

Chang Zhiyuan had never imagined he would one day feel so desperate.0

"Hello, Xiuhe, help me."0

"Explain clearly."0

"I'm at the hospital."0

"You can still talk, so it can't be too serious."0

"It's about to become serious. Get to the hospital as fast as you can!"0
