Chapter 62 Is he really playing both sides?

Fu Siyan remained silent.

Qin Yancheng was infuriated by his stubbornness and stood up, saying, "Whatever. If you're really two-timing me, then let's break off our friendship!"

"I'm not even married yet. With a brother like you two-timing me, who would dare marry me in the future?!"

Outside the door, Zhou Yuchu frowned, then turned and left.

—

The first thing Shen Qingshu did upon returning to her studio was to declutter and simplify her life.

There were still many of Fu Siyu's belongings in the office break room.

She carefully packed it up and sent it to Nanxi Mansion via same-city express delivery.

Seeing how decisive she was, Wen Jingxi praised her, "Very good. Stay away from unlucky kids. We'll have our own babies in the future, two of them!"

Shen Qingshu glanced at him, "Actually, I've wanted to clean up for a long time, but too many things have happened recently, so I've kept putting it off."

"It's fine, it's perfect to pack it up and throw it away now!"

Shen Qingshu took out her phone. "I'll call the teacher."

"You call, I'm going outside to play with the little golden retriever." Wen Jingxi said, turning and walking out of the office.

Shen Qingshu dialed Jiang Wenjin's number.

She told Jiang Wenjin about her situation and her decision.

After listening, Jiang Wenjin remained silent for a moment, then sighed heavily and said, "Just make your decision. Your teacher's wife and I will support you."

Shen Qingshu was somewhat surprised.

She was prepared to be scolded by the teacher before she made the call.

"Aren't you angry?"

"You are my student, but you are also yourself."

Jiang Wenjin said, "I am your mentor and I can guide you in your professional abilities, but life is a long journey. At this stage, your mentor and I may be able to accompany you, but what about in the future? There are countless forks in the road of life, and you will have to walk them yourself to know whether you have made the right choice or the wrong one."

"Ah Shu, this is your life. You have the right to make any decisions, and naturally, you will bear the consequences yourself. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Shen Qingshu felt a sharp pang of sadness and choked out, "Teacher, I understand."

"Now that you understand, let's talk about work..."

Shen Qingshu and Jiang Wenjin talked for a full half hour before ending the call.

By the time she came out of the office, it was already dark.

When Wen Jingxi saw her come out, he stood up and said, "I've booked a Western restaurant to celebrate becoming a godfather for the first time. Let's go!"

Shen Qingshu was both amused and exasperated. "You're so dramatic."

Wen Jingxi scoffed, "With me, Young Master Wen, protecting these two darlings, you should be secretly happy!"

Shen Qingshu was too lazy to banter with him.

She added some dog food for the golden retriever before grabbing her coat and heading out with Wen Jingxi.

The Western restaurant Wen Jingxi chose is only open to Black Diamond VIPs, offering a high degree of privacy. Many celebrities and business tycoons like to come here.

At seven o'clock in the evening, melodious classical music echoed in the Western restaurant.

Zhou Yuchu and Fu Siyu sat facing each other next to the floor-to-ceiling window, which had a privacy screen.

Wen Jingxi and Shen Qingshu walked in side by side from outside.

Fu Siyu, with his sharp eyes, spotted Shen Qingshu at a glance!

"It's Mom!"

Zhou Yuchu was cutting steak for Fu Siyu when she heard Fu Siyu call for her mother. Her hand paused, and the knife tip made a screeching sound as it cut across the plate.

When she looked up, Fu Siyu had already jumped off the chair and was running towards Shen Qingshu impatiently.

"Mother!"

The cheerful shouts of children sounded especially clear and pleasant in the Western restaurant.

Zhou Yuchu's grip on the knife and fork tightened slightly, and a hint of ferocity flashed in his lowered eyes.

Upon hearing Fu Siyu's voice, Shen Qingshu paused, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Fu Siyu running towards her!

Before she could react, Fu Siyu had already opened his arms and lunged at her—

Fu Siyu ran very fast. Shen Qingshu covered her stomach with one hand and was about to reach out to stop him with the other when Wen Jingxi beat her to it.

Wen Jingxi pulled Shen Qingshu aside and placed a large hand directly on Fu Siyu's head.

Fu Siyu was forced to stop, tilting her head back and glaring angrily at Wen Jingxi: "Let me go! I need to find my mother!"

"Why are you everywhere?!"

Wen Jingxi frowned at Fu Siyu and said disdainfully, "Are you trying to change your expression like Trump? Have you forgotten what you said yesterday? Are you not thinking straight? Go back and have your mother, Xiao Chu, give you a good talking-to!"

"You big bad guy! I wasn't looking for you, let go of me!" Fu Siyu was not to be outdone and waved his arms to try to hit Wen Jingxi, but he was too small and couldn't even touch Wen Jingxi, let alone hit him.

Shen Qingshu glanced at Zhou Yuchu, who had stood up not far away, and then looked at Fu Siyu.

"Fu Siyu, go back to your mother's side."

Fu Siyu was taken aback, looked at Shen Qingshu, and her once arrogant little face immediately turned aggrieved, "Mom, are you still angry with me?"

“No, but you should remember what I said.” Shen Qingshu looked at Fu Siyu, her voice calm yet serious. “I said, don’t call me Mom anymore.”

“But…” Fu Siyu pouted, tears welling up in her eyes instantly, “You are my mother! You have taken care of me since I was born. You raised me, you taught me to speak, eat, and draw, and you said you would always love me. You, you are my mother!”

Shen Qingshu frowned. How could her heart not ache when she heard Fu Siyu's words?

It turns out Fu Siyu knew all along.

He knew he was the child she had raised.

But since you already know all that, why did you say those hurtful things to her?

“There are some things you don’t understand yet. You’ll understand when you’re older.” Shen Qingshu’s voice softened, but her attitude remained firm. “Be good and go back to your mother.”

Fu Siyu stared blankly at Shen Qingshu.

He couldn't understand it at all.

Mingming's mother said that Qingshu's mother was just in a bad mood, and that she wouldn't be angry with him anymore when they met again and her mood improved!

Why are they different?

Is it because Qing Shu's mother is still in a bad mood?

"Mom, are you feeling better?" Fu Siyu asked Shen Qingshu cautiously.

Shen Qingshu was taken aback, completely unexpected that Fu Siyu would suddenly ask such a question.

She frowned and said coldly, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm feeling much better now, so you don't need to worry about me. Go back now, goodbye."

"Mom, I miss you!" Fu Siyu wrinkled her nose, and tears immediately fell. "Mom, are you still angry with me? I was wrong. You haven't hugged me in so long. Please don't be angry anymore, okay? I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please forgive me, okay?"

Fu Siyu's sudden outburst of crying immediately drew the attention of everyone in the Western restaurant.

Amid his cries, everyone's gaze toward Shen Qingshu gradually turned to anger and condemnation!

Not far away, Zhou Yuchu stood at his table, quietly watching them.

Shen Qingshu felt Zhou Yuchu's gaze and turned to look at her.

Less than ten meters apart, their eyes met, and Zhou Yuchu smiled.

That smile was gentle and charming, yet it contained a hint of provocation.
