In the days that followed, Chi Yue didn't see Fu Rongyin again. However, Fan Xuesong did come by to threaten her a few more times, to get her to relent, but Chi Yue not only didn't relent, she also counter-threatened her, saying she would call the police if she showed up again.
This tactic seemed to be somewhat effective because Fan Xuesong did not show up again for some time.
These past few days, Fu Xingchuan occasionally came to the studio to find her, but he was eventually discouraged by her coldness.
One day, Dai Qiu entered her office mysteriously, saying someone was looking for her.
Chi Yue thought it was Fu Xingchuan again and refused outright, "Next time he comes over, just tell him I'm not here."
It wasn't that she had anything against Fu Xingchuan; it was just that there had been no progress in what she wanted him to do, and she feared exposing Wen Shuxian in his presence.
