Chapter 83 What did he mean by doing this?

The butler approached at the opportune moment, noticing Jiang Ranxing's somewhat haggard appearance, and respectfully said, "Madam, would you like a cup of coffee made for you?"

Jiang Ranxing nodded: "Alright, thank you for your help."

"You're too kind, Madam."

The housekeeper turned and walked towards the kitchen to grind coffee for Jiang Ranxing.

Jiang Ranxing moved to the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and casually watched the morning news.

Jiang Ranxing thought of the studio, so he sent a text message to Mia.

[Mia, I won't be going to the studio today. Regarding the collaboration with the jewelry brand, we'll stick to what we discussed before. You and Manager Shen will make the decision first. I trust you both.]

A little while later, Mia called directly.

"Sis, what's wrong? My sixth sense tells me something's not right. What happened?"

Jiang Ranxing didn't want Mia to worry too much about him, so he softened his tone.

So she said, "It's nothing, I'll go back to the villa for a few days and won't go to the studio for now."

Mia paused for a moment, then said, "Are you sure you can do it, sis? If anything happens, remember to tell me. I'll definitely help you without hesitation!"

Jiang Ranxing gave a wry smile and adjusted his voice, saying, "Really, if I need your help, I won't hesitate to ask."

"Alright then," Mia had no choice but to give up. "Take good rest, sis. Keep in touch."

"Mmm." Jiang Ranxing hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

It wasn't that she didn't want someone to share her burdens, nor was it that she deliberately didn't want to tell Mia about her predicament.

However, Fu Shenyuan is not someone that an ordinary person can resist. If their problems are not resolved and they do not get a divorce, it will become a problem sooner or later.

Rather than making those who care about her suffer, it's better for her to bear this alone.

Besides, things haven't gotten that bad yet, and she can still handle it on her own.

While Jiang Ranxing was thinking, Fu Xingyi had already gotten up and was walking downstairs in his pajamas.

Fu Xingyi was rubbing his eyes, still feeling sleepy.

Fu Xingyi walked to the sofa and saw Jiang Ranxing watching TV, but her expression didn't seem like she was watching TV.

"Mom, are you spacing out?" Fu Xingyi asked. "The TV screen is already black."

Jiang Ranxing then came to her senses and, looking at Fu Xingyi's expression, realized what was going on.

"Is Yiyi going to school today?"

Fu Xingyi nodded: "Yes, Mom, how could you forget? I told you."

Jiang Ranxing had no choice but to apologize: "Mom was busy and forgot, I'm sorry."

Fu Xingyi was slightly unhappy, then said, "Then Mom can take me to school, and I'll forgive you for forgetting."

Jiang Ranxing nodded; she wouldn't refuse her son's request.

"Let's go eat first, Mom."

Fu Xingyi stepped forward, took Jiang Ranxing's hand, and the two walked towards the dining table.

The butler had already instructed the servants to prepare an exquisite breakfast, which was then served to Jiang Ranxing and Fu Xingyi at their respective seats.

Jiang Ranxing drank some coffee and then ate some breakfast absentmindedly.

Jiang Ranxing only put down her spoon after Fu Xingyi finished eating.

The nanny took Fu Xingyi upstairs to change into her kindergarten uniform, and then carried her delicate little schoolbag back downstairs.

Jiang Ranxing was already waiting downstairs and took the schoolbag: "Give it to me."

Jiang Ranxing carried her schoolbag in one hand and held Fu Xingyi's hand with the other, walking towards the door.

But as soon as Jiang Ranxing reached the door, he was stopped.

It was the bodyguard in the black suit at the door who stopped Jiang Ranxing in his tracks.

"Madam, for your safety, please remain in the villa."

Jiang Ranxing frowned: "I'm taking your young master to school, and you're going to stop me?"

The bodyguard's face was completely expressionless: "We can take the young master over, but Madam should stay at home."

Jiang Ranxing was furious. What right did they have to do that?

“I have my freedom, and I shouldn’t be restricted from going wherever I want.”

The bodyguard remained silent: "Mr. Fu instructed that his wife stay at the villa."

The bodyguard stood firmly in front of Jiang Ranxing, refusing to budge an inch.

Fu Xingyi didn't understand what had happened, but when he heard that it was Fu Shenyuan who said it, he didn't want to ask why.

In his eyes, his father was never wrong; it was always his mother who was at fault.

Another bodyguard took the backpack from Jiang Ranxing and gestured to Fu Xingyi, "Young Master, please come with me."

Fu Xingyi nodded and said to Jiang Ranxing, "Then I'm going to school now, Mom. See you tonight."

After saying that, Fu Xingyi turned around and left with his bodyguard. He got into the car and sped away from the villa.

Jiang Ranxing was helpless, yet filled with resentment.

She looked at the bodyguard in front of her, her tone slightly angry: "Get out of the way, I'll go to the garden, okay?"

After thinking for a while, the bodyguard made way for Jiang Ranxing, but instead had the bodyguards guarding the garden keep a close eye on her movements.

Jiang Ranxing glanced at it helplessly, utterly powerless to resist.

She couldn't be locked up in the villa by Fu Shenyuan forever; she had to find a way out.

Besides, she had already agreed to work at Ling Su next week, and Mia and Manager Shen were temporarily helping her with things at the studio, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity at Ling Su.

If love is gone, career is the one thing that absolutely cannot be lost as well.

Before he knew it, Jiang Ranxing had been sitting in the garden all morning. Around noon, there was a strange commotion at the villa entrance.

Jiang Ranxing thought it was Fu Shenyuan who had returned, and she wasn't in the mood to get up and see him. However, she heard a sweet female voice instead.

"Shen Yuan, thank you so much. I feel so at ease knowing you're here."

Jiang Ranxing's gaze was drawn to the scene, and she was surprised to see Lin Xuesha standing next to Fu Shenyuan.

The butler was carrying suitcases out of the trunk at Fu Shenyuan's instruction.

Several servants dragged suitcases into the villa one after another.

Jiang Ranxing turned her head to look in that direction indifferently, her heart no longer stirred.

She scoffed and shook her head.

Lin Xuesha also caught a glimpse of Jiang Ranxing sitting under the garden pavilion in the distance, and smiled in his direction.

She came to the villa this time to make Jiang Ranxing know who the real Mrs. Fu is.

Lin Xuesha smiled and took Fu Shenyuan's arm as they walked into the villa.

Jiang Ranxing took in all of these actions and watched Lin Xuesha's performance in silence.

After the butler finished carrying the luggage, he walked to the garden and said respectfully to Jiang Ranxing, "Madam, please return to the villa. The midday sun is too strong."

Jiang Ranxing stood up and couldn't help but ask, "What happened to them just now?"

The butler hesitated and didn't answer, but seeing Jiang Ranxing's probing gaze, he had no choice but to reply.

"Miss Lin and her husband are coming to stay at the villa."

Jiang Ranxing suddenly felt that all of this was somewhat unbelievable. What did Fu Shenyuan mean by doing this?

He neither allowed himself to leave nor allowed Lin Xuesha to leave with him.

Is Fu Shenyuan punishing her for her "cheating"?
