Chapter 353: One wave has not yet subsided, another wave has come
The corners of Chen Hanxing's mouth curled up in a very faint, almost sarcastic arc, "Do you think that the problem between us is just Xie Ruxin and your cheating?"
She took a few steps forward until she was only one meter away from Fu Jingheng. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing his heart.
"Do you remember that winter of your senior year, when your startup failed, you were maliciously smeared by your competitors, and even received threatening letters?"
Fu Jingheng's body trembled. That memory was a pain in his heart. He nodded with a hoarse voice.
"Yes, I remember. That's why I know even more clearly that it was my own fault that I made you suffer with me..."
"suffer?"
Shen Hanxing laughed, and there was endless sadness in her laughter, "Fu Jingheng, you are too conceited."
She leaned close to him and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, slowly told him the truth of that year: "Is there a corner missing from the last page of the threatening letter you received? Do you think it was torn off accidentally?"
Fu Jingheng's pupils suddenly shrank. He did remember that the last corner of the letter was missing, and he thought it was damaged during the mailing process.
"I tore it off." Chen Hanxing's voice was icy cold. "It said that if you don't give up the project, they will 'get rid of' the person you care about most. And that person is me."
"I've watched you devastated by the failure of your business venture, and the pain you feel from being slandered. How could I possibly let you be in danger because of me?"
Her voice trembled slightly, "So, for the first time, I mobilized the Shen family's resources and wholeheartedly supported you to become President Fu!"
"Is that 'angel investment' you received really the luck you thought it was?"
Shen Hanxing looked at his face, which was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and continued to drop a bombshell, "I invested in you anonymously because I didn't want to tell you the truth, and I never want you to know my difficulties."
"So," Chen Hanxing's voice suddenly rose, carrying years of accumulated grievances and disappointment, "You come to me now and talk about love? What about starting over? Fu Jingheng, what gives you the right?!"
"You think you love me so much? You don't even know why I left you! You only see your own pain and unwillingness. You only want to use the memories of the past and Yicheng to kidnap me! You don't understand me at all!"
"Do you know how I've been living these past five years?"
"I watched you succeed step by step, but I gradually became a full-time housewife."
"Seeing another woman appear by your side, I thought you had long forgotten me and everything between us! I thought I could start a new life, but now you come and tell me that you love me?"
Shen Hanxing's tears finally couldn't help but fall, but she didn't wipe them away, she just stared at Fu Jingheng.
"You know what's the funniest thing? What you just said, 'I can give you better.'"
"Fu Jingheng, you can't give it to me. All you have given me is misunderstanding, hurt, and... 'safety' that I have to protect with lies."
“Chengcheng is right,” Shen Hanxing gave him one last look, his eyes completely cold.
"I want to be free to choose. And my choice ended the moment you didn't believe me and instead spoke ill of me because of my 'fault'."
Shen Hanxing's words were like a poisoned dagger, accurately piercing all of Fu Jingheng's pride and obsession.
He stood there blankly, his face turning from shock to pale and then to gray.
The sweet scenes in the video were still playing on the water curtain in a loop, but now they seemed like a huge irony, mocking his stupidity and self-righteousness.
It turns out...it turns out that she didn't not love him, but she loved him too deeply, so deeply that she was willing to use self-destruction to protect him.
However, in order to succeed, he chose to "bury" her with his own hands!
He thought he was betrayed.
I thought Shen Hanxing didn't really want to find Qi Moxun.
He thought that as long as he corrected his mistakes seriously, he would be forgiven by Shen Hanxing.
But the hurt he suffered over the years made him completely miss Shen Hanxing's deep affection.
"No... Impossible..." Fu Jingheng muttered to himself, his eyes blurred, "You lied to me... You must have said that in order to stay with Qi Moxun..."
"I lied to you?" Shen Hanxing sneered, took out a yellowed envelope from her handbag, and threw it at his feet, "This is the fragment of the threatening letter from that year. I have kept it. Take a look for yourself!"
Fu Jingheng picked up the envelope tremblingly. When he saw the familiar handwriting and the missing corner, all his excuses were stuck in his throat.
The truth hit his heart like a heavy hammer, completely shattering the beliefs he had built up over the years.
He looked at Chen Hanxing's resolute eyes, looked at Qi Moxun's silent but firm protection beside her, and looked at his son Fu Yicheng's worried look at his mother's little face...
A huge wave of regret and despair instantly overwhelmed him.
He was wrong, so wrong.
Not only did he miss her love, he also pushed her to someone else with his own hands and even humiliated her in the most hurtful way!
"ah--!"
Fu Jingheng suddenly let out a painful growl, like the cry of a trapped beast.
He turned around suddenly, pushed away the bodyguards behind him, and staggered out.
His back looked extremely disheveled under the bright starlight, as if all his soul had been sucked away.
All those vows made and the current bride kidnapping have become a huge joke.
The banquet hall was silent. Only the video on the water curtain was still playing the sweetness of the past, forming a cruel contrast with the mess before their eyes.
Shen Hanxing took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, turned around, and gave Qi Moxun a pale but firm smile.
"I'm sorry for embarrassing you because of me."
Qi Moxun walked forward and gently held her hand, his palm warm and strong: "It's okay, I'm here."
He looked at the shocked guests below and said in a steady voice, "I'm sorry for making you all laugh. Today's engagement ceremony will continue after some minor adjustments. Thank you all for your witness."
The lights focused again, but under the starry sky, there was a lingering haze and a broken old dream about love and misunderstanding.
And Shen Hanxing's future seemed to become clearer and heavier after this sudden storm.
"You're getting engaged so soon."
At the door, an uninvited guest appeared again.
It turned out to be Zhang E and Qi Zhenting.
Qi Zhenting is such a great figure that as soon as he appeared, he instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
"Mr. Qi?"
"Why are you in a wheelchair?"
"That's not right. Today is Mr. Qi's engagement. It's normal for Mr. Qi to be here!"
"Didn't you notice that Mrs. Qi's tone was very wrong just now?"
"That's my stepmother, how can I speak in a good tone?"
Zhang E pushed the wheelchair and walked slowly towards them.
The man in the wheelchair had a dull expression and didn't say a word. He just stared at the newlyweds standing together on the stage!
