Chapter 78 His Hand Reached into the Su Family

The doctor carefully chose his words and spoke cautiously.

"You recently experienced a miscarriage, which greatly depleted your body and has not yet recovered your vitality. You need to pay extra attention to recuperation during this period."

"In particular, you must avoid drinking alcohol and try to avoid sexual intercourse."

The doctor lowered his voice, "This is crucial for your recovery; otherwise, it could leave lasting health problems."

Shen Shuangmiao was stunned.

She suddenly realized what was happening.

She did drink last night.

This morning, Zhu Jin came to question her about whether she had spent the night with Zhao Mobai.

Shen Shuangmiao narrowed her eyes, looked at the doctor, and her voice unconsciously turned cold, "Who sent you to tell me this?"

The doctor felt uneasy under her sharp gaze and subconsciously avoided her eyes.

"It was the old lady's idea; she's concerned about your health..."

Shen Shuangmiao already understood.

She wasn't her grandmother at all.

If Madam Su had known that she was drinking, she would have scolded her directly instead of using such a roundabout method and specifically emphasizing sexual matters.

It is Zhu Jin.

Only he would do something like that.

Shen Shuangmiao never expected that he would be so resourceful as to extend his reach into the Su family and into her life.

He even wanted to be able to order his family doctor around at will.

Shen Shuangmiao suddenly felt like she couldn't breathe.

She ignored the doctor and went straight up the stairs, while Amber felt a chill run down her spine.

As Shen Shuangmiao walked to the corner, she saw the old lady sitting on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor, waving at her.

"Miaomiao, come here."

Shen Shuangmiao collected her thoughts, walked over and sat down, "Grandma."

Grandma Su held her hand, a loving smile on her face, "Your birthday is in a few days. Grandma is thinking of taking this opportunity to throw you a proper and lively birthday banquet. What do you think?"

Shen Shuangmiao now only wants to keep a low profile and stay away from all unnecessary attention.

Moreover, the Su family and the Zhou and Zhu families have a good relationship, and she doesn't want to see Zhu Jin and Zhou Wu again.

She gently shook her head. "Grandma, there's no need for that. I don't want to make a big fuss. On my birthday, I'll just have a simple meal with a few close friends."

The old lady looked at the weariness between her brows, sighed, and didn't insist any further. "Do as you please, child."

Shen Shuang smiled and got up to leave.

Before she knew it, her birthday arrived. She turned down all unnecessary social engagements and decided to spend her birthday at the beach by herself.

As evening fell, Fu Xuan entered the office.

Are you free tonight? How about we grab some dinner?

His tone was light and cheerful, and he had a smile on his face.

Shen Shuang thought for a moment. Fu Xuan had been busy with her affairs recently, and she hadn't even seriously invited him to dinner before agreeing to the meal.

"good."

Fu Xuan picked her up and took her to a Western restaurant. After they sat down, he took out a beautifully packaged gift box.

Happy birthday, Miaomiao.

Shen Shuangmiao took it in surprise, opened it, and found a delicate bracelet inside.

It's a brand-name product, and the price is quite high.

But the bracelet's name, written on it, consists of four characters: "My One and Only Love."

This doesn't seem like a gift from an ordinary friend; it carries a hint of ambiguity.

Shen Shuangmiao bit her lip, gently pushed the box back, and wore a polite but distant smile.

"Thank you, but this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it, but I appreciate your kind intentions."

Fu Xuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he quickly smiled again and did not insist.

"It's just a simple gift, but it's a way of thanking you for your trust and support all this time. It's thanks to you that my income in your studio has doubled. You can't not let me do something in return, can you?"

Shen Shuangmiao looked at the bracelet and said, "If you really want to thank me, then you can treat me to this meal. I really can't accept the gift."

Fu Xuan understood what she meant.

They were both adults; he understood what Shen Shuangmiao meant.

It's not just that they can't accept it, but also that they want to avoid suspicion.

It seems that no matter who Shen Shuangmiao gets together with after her divorce, or whether her relationship with Zhao Mobai is just a fling, the chances of them getting back together are slim.

Fu Xuan suppressed his disappointment and forced a smile: "Okay, then I'll leave, but I'll send you a red envelope when I get home. You can't refuse it."

"good."

Shen Shuangmiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Xuan didn't react negatively and tried to talk to her about interesting topics.

But Shen Shuangmiao could sense that the emotion in his eyes remained constant.

She could only pretend not to understand and maintain a normal relationship with her friends and studio partners.

Midway through the meal, Shen Shuangmiao's phone rang.

The name Zhu Jin was displayed on the screen.

Shen Shuangmiao immediately rejected the call, put her phone on silent, and placed it face down on the table.

Fu Xuan saw everything but didn't ask any questions.

As dinner was drawing to a close, a beam of light suddenly pierced the dark night sky outside the window.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud bang.

Brilliant fireworks suddenly burst in the night sky, like a signal.

The next second, countless points of light rose simultaneously from all directions of the city.

Fireworks burst forth one after another, illuminating the entire city's night sky.

Fireworks of various colors intertwined to form a magnificent ocean, illuminating almost half the sky.

Diners and passersby downstairs stopped and exclaimed in amazement.

Shen Shuangmiao and Fu Xuan couldn't help but look out the window.

Just then, countless drones rose up, eventually coalescing into a line of words in the night sky.

Happy birthday to my dearest. —ZJ

Fu Xuan's expression changed slightly.

Shen Shuangmiao's face also darkened.

She picked up her phone, found the number she had just rejected, and dialed it.

The call was answered almost instantly, and Zhu Jin's cautious voice came from the other end.

"Shuangmiao, did you see that? I..."

Shen Shuangmiao interrupted him without any politeness: "Zhu Jin, stop with your self-pity act. It's just ridiculous and annoying to me, and it has no meaning whatsoever."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Immediately, Zhu Jin keenly noticed the restaurant music in the background.

His breath hitched slightly, tinged with suppressed jealousy: "Where are you? Who are you celebrating your birthday with?"

Shen Shuangmiao was too lazy to answer, so she hung up the phone and blacklisted his number.

She stood up, composed herself, and said, "Let's go, Fu Xuan."

Fu Xuan nodded. "Okay."

He grabbed his coat and went to pay the bill.

On the way back to the Su family home, Fu Xuan gripped the steering wheel and couldn't help but ask.

"He... still won't let go?"

Shen Shuangmiao gazed at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, her tone indifferent, "Let it be."

Fu Xuan was silent for a moment, then his tone suddenly turned angry and indignant on her behalf, "He treated you like that back then, what's the point of doing all this now?"

"Does he think that what he has built up with this money can make up for everything that happened in the past?"

Shen Shuangmiao did not answer, but looked out the window.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the Su family's house.

Fu Xuan turned to look at her, his eyes serious, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
