Chapter 86 She's Going to Take Another Gamble

On the way back, Shen Qingshu told Qiao Xingjia about the three conditions that Fu Siyan had mentioned.

After hearing this, Qiao Xingjia cursed, "She's insane! She's about to get a divorce and she still wants to go on a trip with that father and son?! Bah! The older one is a pervert! The younger one is a scoundrel!"

Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent.

Qiao Xingjia calmed herself down and asked her, "So what do you think?"

"He gave me three days to think about it. I'll think about it some more." Shen Qingshu was actually unwilling to compromise like this.

She wanted to take another gamble.

Qiao Xingjia didn't see through her thoughts and simply said, "Okay, we have three days. Let's think of another way!"

"Um."

Qiao Xingjia first sent Shen Qingshu back to Dolphin Bay.

Watching Shen Qingshu go upstairs, she sat in her car, pondered for a long time, and finally called Qin Yancheng.

Qin Yancheng answered quickly: "Dr. Qiao."

"Dr. Qin, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Are you free now?"

Qin Yancheng said half-jokingly, "I'm a single dog and I'm very free when I'm not working, so feel free to bother me."

Qiao Xingjia: "..."

"You're calling me so late because of Shen Qingshu, right?"

"How do you know?" Qiao Xingjia asked. "Did Fu Siyan say anything to you?"

"He's a quiet guy who won't say anything to me unless he takes the initiative, but I can guess that it's because of Shen Qingshu that you called me."

"It was indeed for Ashu. Fu Siyan invited Ashu to Nanxi Mansion today, and he made three conditions!"

Qiao Xingjia couldn't help but grit her teeth when she mentioned Fu Siyan, "Each of the three conditions is more outrageous than the last!"

"What are the conditions?"

Qiao Xingjia told Qin Yancheng her three conditions while cursing.

After listening, Qin Yancheng remained silent for a moment before saying, "Although these three conditions are somewhat unreasonable, I think Siyan will keep his word this time. You should persuade Shen Qingshu."

"I should advise her?!"

Qiao Xingjia's loud voice almost lifted the roof off the car. Qin Yancheng frowned on the other end of the phone and moved the phone further away.

"Qin Yancheng, I misjudged you! I thought that even though you and Fu Siyan were good friends, you were at least a person with normal values. I came to you to ask you to help persuade Fu Siyan to be a decent human being! But what you did was speak up for him!"

"No..." Qin Yancheng said helplessly, "Calm down first, calm down and let me tell you..."

"If you dare to say another good word about Fu Siyan, we'll pretend we don't know each other from now on!"

“It’s not that bad,” Qin Yancheng smiled and said, “It’s precisely because I understand Fu Siyan that I’m advising you like this. The fact that Fu Siyan can still make three demands shows that he really intends to divorce Shen Qingshu.”

"He's going to have a wedding with Zhou Yuchu, what's he planning to do if he doesn't intend to divorce her? Does he think he's living in ancient times with three wives and four concubines?!"

"Regarding Zhou Yuchu..." Qin Yancheng paused for a moment and said, "The matter is a bit complicated. She has brain cancer and also suffers from depression. Fu Siyan held a wedding for her just so that she wouldn't have any regrets."

"Brain cancer is one thing, but depression too?" Qiao Xingjia rolled her eyes. "I don't believe it. She's an award-winning actress; her acting skills are superb!"

“Hmm…” Qin Yancheng paused and said, “I have been following up on this matter. Since you called me, it means you still trust me, so I have to take responsibility for what I said.”

Qiao Xingjia sensed a hidden meaning in Qin Yancheng's words, "Zhou Yuchu has a problem, doesn't he?"

"I can't tell you right now. I can only tell you that while Fu Siyan certainly wronged Shen Qingshu, he also has many other things to hide..."

Qin Yancheng stopped abruptly, then said, "In short, if you and Shen Qingshu want to get a divorce as soon as possible, then listen to me and agree to Fu Siyan's conditions."

Qiao Xingjia was furious, but she also felt that Qin Yancheng wasn't the kind of person who couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

"What if A-Shu doesn't agree?"

"Are you going to confront me head-on if I don't agree?" Qin Yancheng said seriously. "I don't recommend you do that. I can't stop Fu Siyan when he goes crazy. Besides, it's best to resolve this privately and not take it online... If it gets out of hand, it won't be good for Siyu."

"Ha." Qiao Xingjia laughed in exasperation. "You all seem to really dote on that little brat!"

"He is Fu Siyan's last line of defense," Qin Yancheng emphasized.

Qiao Xingjia remained silent.

After a long pause, she finally asked, "Qin Yancheng, can I trust you?"

"Trust me this once," Qin Yancheng said solemnly. "Don't worry, if you persuade Shen Qingshu to agree to Fu Siyan's conditions, I will keep an eye on Fu Siyan's side as well."

Qiao Xingjia pursed her lips, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Do you know why Fu Siyan insisted on going to Ghana?"

Qin Yancheng could roughly guess Fu Siyan's purpose.

But he knew he absolutely couldn't tell anyone before he went.

If he had told her, Shen Qingshu would definitely not have gone!

"I don't know either." Regarding this matter, Qin Yancheng could only lie and say, "I'll ask around for you later?"

"He'll tell you if you ask him?"

"Then I don't know, most likely... no."

Qiao Xingjia sighed, "Our Shu is really unlucky. She met such a scumbag and strong-willed guy. Seeing her like this has made me afraid of marriage!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yancheng chuckled softly, "Don't be afraid, there are still plenty of good men in the world."

"Forget it, being single is more comfortable and carefree." Qiao Xingjia started the car. "I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to go back and think about how to persuade Ashu. Bye!"

"good."

…

Qin Yancheng immediately called Fu Siyan.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

On the other end of the phone, Fu Siyan's voice was heavy and hoarse, "Qiao Xingjia called you?"

"Holy crap!" Qin Yancheng exclaimed in shock, "You installed surveillance cameras in my house?"

"Heh." Fu Siyan chuckled softly, his breathing still heavy. "What did she say?"

"Why does your voice sound like that? Is your headache coming on again?" Qin Yancheng frowned. "Did you take your medicine?"

"It's alright."

Qin Yancheng sighed, "I really don't know what to say about you. Each of your three conditions is more outrageous than the last! I'm not trying to criticize you, but doing this will only make Shen Qingshu more disappointed in you!"

"It doesn't matter," Fu Siyan said firmly. "I won't regret what I've done."

"You..." Qin Yancheng wanted to curse him, but then felt that it would be pointless.

When Fu Siyan gets stubborn, not even ten oxen could pull him away.

Finally, Qin Yancheng could only solemnly emphasize:

"I did advise Qiao Xingjia to persuade Shen Qingshu. I've done everything I could, so please remember, even if it's for my sake, you have to keep your word this time. Once you fulfill the three conditions, you get the divorce done and let Shen Qingshu go, okay?"

There was no sound for a long time on Fu Siyan's end.

Qin Yancheng thought he was going to change his mind again and was about to scold him when a deep male voice came from the phone—

"good."

One word, hoarse and heavy.

Qin Yancheng listened, and his heart finally settled down.

…

After Shen Qingshu returned to Dolphin Bay.

I sat in the room for a long time.

In the end, she decided to give it one last shot.

She took out her marriage certificate from the bedside table, opened WeChat, took a picture, and sent it to Wen Jingxi.

Upon seeing the photo, Wen Jingxi immediately called.

Are you sure you really want to do this?

“Okay.” Shen Qingshu said firmly, “I’ll transfer you some money. You need to find a way to buy press releases. Buy them from all the major websites. Buy whatever gets popular.”

"So ruthless?" Wen Jingxi said worriedly, "You need to think this through. This way, you'll be exposed too, and your life will be affected."

"It's alright," Shen Qingshu said. "If things get out of hand, Fu Siyan will have to compromise for Zhou Yuchu's sake."

"As for myself, at worst I'll just live in the studio and reduce the number of times I go in and out. When the time comes, I'll go to Changsha and live in a different city. These unpleasant memories will gradually fade from my life."

“Alright, since you’ve thought it through, I won’t try to persuade you anymore,” Wen Jingxi said. “I’ll find someone to handle it right away.”
