Chapter 46 - Infidelity: Because of those dirty things, it has a negative impact on both sexes...
"What are you saying?" Fu Qingli couldn't believe what she was hearing. "What did you see?"
Lin Xi sniffed, stubbornly turned her face away, and refused to say it a second time.
Fu Qingli was very patient and coaxed him gently: "Okay, Xiaoxi, calm down and listen to me first."
He cupped Lin Xi's face in his hands, making her face him: "I swear, I've never had any private contact with Su Yi'an, let alone had a relationship with her as you claim. I'm 100% sure that's impossible! So now you can tell me when and where you saw her wearing my clothes and coming out of my room?"
Lin Xi saw the openness in Fu Qingli's eyes, and his assurance reassured her.
Like a criminal sentenced to death suddenly declared innocent, she couldn't help but burst into tears of joy. Finally, she could tell him about her grievances. Her almond-shaped eyes, brimming with tears, couldn't hold back the moisture, and the tears fell, landing on his palm.
"It was... the morning we broke up... I went to your apartment... and as soon as I walked in, I saw her... she was wearing your clothes, coming out of your room... standing on the second floor looking at me..."
She cried until she choked up, speaking haltingly, but Fu Qingli understood.
It was only then that he pieced everything together and finally understood why she had suddenly said she wanted to break up with him back then.
However, the truth is not what Lin Xi said at all.
That day, Fu Wenxun brought Su Yi'an directly into his apartment, trying to persuade him to agree to the engagement.
"That girl named Lin Xi was born into a single-parent family. Her mother died early, and her father is just an ordinary criminal police officer in Nanqing. What kind of help can she bring you in the future? Look at you now, the longer you spend with them, the more content you become with this mundane life. With your talents, how can you be content with such a mediocre existence? You should listen to me and marry Yi'an. Then the Fu family and the Su family will be yours. This is the kind of life you deserve. Marriage should be between equals. Yi'an is sensible and understanding, just like your Aunt Chen. She doesn't fight or compete, she knows her place, and she gives you absolute freedom, unlike your mother..."
Aunt Chen refers to Chen Xinyi, the younger sister of Fu Wenxun, who is also one of Fu Wenxun's confidantes.
She was also the woman who moved into the Fu family villa after Shen Yu was admitted to the sanatorium. She followed Fu Wenxun without any official status and endured his various women outside the home.
Fu Qingli found it extremely ironic and couldn't help but sneer: "Not fighting or grabbing?! Fu Wenxun, wake up! There are some things your mother chose to keep from you, so I didn't tell you either, feeling it wasn't my place to tell you. But if you were so inclined, you could easily find out what this so-called sensible woman has actually done?"
"On my seventh birthday, my mother refused to let the guests take me away from home. It wasn't because she was angry that you made her entertain guests, but because your confidante showed my mother and me a live sex show!"
"That year in Nanqing, Mom suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Did you really think it was an accident? Let me tell you, it wasn't. It was your confidante who kept sending Mom photos and videos of your trysts every day, causing her to have an emotional breakdown and choose to commit suicide. If Xiaoxi's father hadn't noticed something was wrong, she would have been dead long ago..."
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of breaking glass suddenly came from the second floor.
Along with that came Grandma's exclamation: "Rongyang, Shen Rongyang, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Fu Qingli suddenly snapped out of her emotional daze and remembered that her grandparents were still upstairs. She guessed that her grandfather had suffered a heart attack because he heard what she said.
He got up and rushed upstairs.
Grandpa Shen Rongyang lay on the ground, his eyes tightly closed, clutching his chest in pain. Grandma Yuan Mei cried as she tried to feed him medicine.
Shen Rongyang had been suffering from heart disease for some years. After a simple examination, Fu Qingli confirmed that he could still move, so she asked her grandmother to help her lift him onto her back, preparing to take him directly to the hospital.
Fu Wenxun followed closely behind, knowing that he was the one who had caused the trouble, and spoke cautiously: "I have contacted a hospital, which is very close to here, so we can go directly there for the examination."
“We don’t need your arrangements! Get out of my way!” Yuan Mei cried and cursed, reaching out to push Fu Wenxun.
Shen Yu is her and Shen Rongyang's youngest daughter. She was kind and obedient from a young age, but unfortunately, she met Fu Wenxun, and her marriage was full of ups and downs.
The carbon monoxide poisoning left Shen Yu with severe aftereffects in her lungs, ultimately leading to her untimely death.
They initially thought it was an accident, just as Shen Yu had said, but they never imagined the truth would be so cruel.
As a mother, Yuan Mei felt heartbroken and had no temper left with Fu Wenxun, the culprit.
Although Fu Wenxun was a womanizer, he was very devoted to the Shen family, arranging everything properly. After Shen Yu left, he treated her like his own parents.
At this moment, no matter how much Yuan Mei scolded him, he didn't dare to talk back. He lowered his head and comforted her, saying, "Mom, it's my fault. Don't be angry. Take care of yourself!"
Yuan Mei couldn't stand his crocodile tears and continued to yell, "Get out! We don't want to see you! We don't need your help!"
"Grandma!" Fu Qingli said calmly, her voice still steady as she carried Shen Rongyang on her back, "This is not the time to talk about this. The situation is urgent. No matter what, the hospital he arranged is definitely the best and fastest choice!"
Shen Rongyang's condition could not be delayed any longer. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, they stopped pushing and shoving.
Although he didn't say anything, he did step aside so that Fu Wenxun could help.
Thanks to timely medical attention, Shen Rongyang's condition was brought under control, but he needs to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery as soon as possible and cannot be delayed any longer.
Given that Beicheng had better medical resources than Jincheng, everyone rushed back to Beicheng overnight, where Fu Wenxun arranged for a consultation with internationally renowned doctors.
Fu Qingli did not return to the apartment that night.
Now that I think about it, Su Yi'an, whom Fu Wenxun brought, did not go to the hospital with them.
After explaining, Fu Qingli immediately called Aunt Tao: "Aunt Tao, six years ago in Jincheng, on the night Grandpa fell ill, did Su Yi'an stay at the apartment?"
“Yes, after you left, she called Mr. Fu, who told her to stay, saying that she was the lady of the house and didn’t need to stay at the hotel. I tried to dissuade her, but she insisted on staying, so I could only arrange for her to stay in the guest room on the second floor.”
Because there is only one room on the first floor, it is Linxi's own little world.
Fu Qingli never intended to let outsiders stay overnight, but Su Yi'an took advantage of that opportunity that time.
"The stream came by the next day, did you know that?"
"Oh? Miss Lin came by?" Aunt Tao asked in surprise. "I arrived at the apartment at 7:30, but I didn't see her."
Fu Qingli lowered her head and looked at Lin Xi questioningly.
Lin Xinuo said softly, "I arrived at seven o'clock."
Fu Qingli frowned even more. The train journey from Nanqing to Jiangcheng takes four or five hours, which means she had rushed over overnight.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things. He tapped Lin Xi's forehead with his finger as punishment and continued to ask Aunt Yao, "Was there anything strange that day?"
"What's strange?" Aunt Tao thought for a moment. "I remember now. You had a black shirt that I washed the day before, but I didn't see you wear it. Yet it appeared in the laundry basket."
"By the way, I've sent messages about all of these things, but you haven't replied."
When she said that, Fu Qingli remembered that she had indeed received a text message from Aunt Yao after restarting her phone.
At that time, he couldn't contact Lin Xi and had no time to think about anything else.
To prove that she hadn't colluded with Aunt Tao, Fu Qingli even pulled out Shen Rongyang's hospital records to prove it, and even wanted to call Shen's parents to verify, but Lin Xi stopped her.
"Can you trust me this time?" Fu Qingli asked Lin Xi after putting down her phone, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of grievance.
Lin Xi's crying gradually stopped, but it still had a heavy nasal tone, and her eyes were red, like a rabbit's.
She nodded obediently, then asked疑惑地问道, "But where's your phone?"
"It was smashed by Fu Wenxun, but I was too busy with my grandfather's illness to buy it. I only had time to buy it the next evening."
That day, Fu Wenxun learned that Fu Qingli had decided to go abroad according to the arrangements of the Shen family, and he was afraid that he would get out of his control, so he hurriedly brought Su Yi'an over.
To everyone's surprise, when Fu Qingli opened the door and found it was them, she didn't even want them to come in.
After forcibly breaking in, he saw Fu Qingli sitting on the sofa sending messages to Lin Xi. Enraged, he snatched the phone and smashed it on the ground, shattering it into pieces and rendering it unusable.
This directly angered Fu Qingli, who couldn't help but blurt out what she had been keeping to herself.
In fact, Fu Qingli could have borrowed someone else's time afterward.
But Fu Wenxun was still around, and within his sphere of influence, so Fu Qingli didn't want to cause any more trouble for Lin Xi.
She endured it until her grandfather was out of danger, then she had time to go out and buy a new phone. When she tried to contact Lin Xi, she found that all her contact methods had been blocked.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Xi suddenly realized that this explained everything.
Fu Qingli carefully smoothed the strands of hair that were stuck to Lin Xi's cheeks to the side, cupped her face in her hands, and pressed her forehead against Lin Xi's.
Lin Xi then noticed that his eyes were also a little red, and his usually deep eyes were now rippling with emotion.
"Having carried this matter in your heart all these years, have you been through a lot?" Fu Qingli asked softly.
Over the years, he had never been able to understand why Lin Xi would suddenly propose breaking up.
Was it because of Fu Wenxun's interference?
Or is it because he blames himself for not being able to protect her?
Or did Lin Fengyuan tell you that he was going abroad and didn't want to be in a long-distance relationship?
...
Perhaps all of these reasons are true.
But they grew up together, and he knew Lin Xi too well; he knew she wasn't someone who liked to run away.
Even if she wants to break up, she will make it clear to him face to face.
Later, he thought that no matter what the reason was, it was ultimately because he hadn't done enough that Lin Xi was so sad and wouldn't even say "break up" to him.
But it turns out he was wrong all along!
He really couldn't imagine how painful it must have been for Lin Xi when she thought he was having an affair with Su Yi'an and chose to break up with him!
"It's alright," Lin Xi managed a weak smile. "You've been so good to me. After that initial period, I think about how good you were to me. Back then, I felt especially sorry for you when others were sad."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Qingli covered her lips and sealed hers with his. His soft tongue slipped into her slightly parted lips and intertwined with hers.
This time, Fu Qingli was not gentle; she was so forceful it was as if she wanted to devour her whole.
Their breaths mingled, their scents mingling, gradually becoming one with each other's, creating a unique and tender atmosphere in the air.
After a long while, Fu Qingli finally released her lips and tongue, his voice low and magnetic, tinged with desire: "Xiaoxi, do you know? Because of Fu Wenxun's dirty deeds, I have a phobia of sex, but I only have desire for you!"
