Chapter 13 Let's schedule her surgery.
Shen Qingshu was taken aback.
She looked at Fu Siyan, her trembling pupils filled with disbelief.
"Fu Siyan, what did I do wrong?"
“If you have grievances, take them out on me. Xiao Chu is innocent.” Fu Siyan looked at Shen Qingshu, his words filled with indifference and criticism: “You shouldn’t have misled your friend into verbally attacking her.”
Shen Qingshu's hand gripped the medicine bag so tightly that it trembled.
She stared intently at Fu Siyan, at the man she had loved wholeheartedly and unconditionally for five years.
"Your Xiao Chu is innocent?" She chuckled softly, tears welling up in her eyes, which she tried her best to hold back.
Her pale lips trembled uncontrollably, and her pent-up emotions were about to explode: "And what about me? Like a clown, I devoted myself to raising your children for five years. Wasn't I innocent?!"
Fu Siyan was taken aback.
Qiao Xingjia was utterly shocked: "What do you mean 'took care of your child for five years'? No... does that mean Fu Siyu is his and Zhou Yuchu's child?!"
Shen Qingshu's chest heaved violently. She didn't answer Qiao Xingjia's question, but stared intently at Fu Siyan: "Fu Siyan, I just want an explanation. Why did you lie to me back then?"
Fu Siyan frowned, seemingly displeased with her questioning: "We agreed that we would each get what we needed, and who Siyu's biological mother is will not affect our cooperation."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingshu's breath hitched.
So that was his reason for deceiving her.
That's really... a very good reason!
Shen Qingshu laughed, the dizziness from the intense emotions making her almost unable to stand.
Qiao Xingjia quickly helped her up, her eyes filled with concern and anxiety: "Are you alright?"
Fu Siyan loosened his grip on Zhou Yuchu's hand. He looked at Shen Qingshu's current state, his thin lips parted slightly, but before he could utter a sound, Zhou Yuchu's body suddenly went limp in his arms—
"Xiao Chu?"
Fu Siyan caught her in time.
Zhou Yu had already fainted.
Fu Siyan looked solemn, picked up Zhou Yuchu, and strode towards the inpatient department.
Qiao Xingjia was absolutely furious.
"She must be faking it! Damn it! I support you getting a divorce. You've been a stepmother for five years, and in the end, you still get humiliated and bullied like this. Ugh! I'm so angry! I'm going to create a fake account tonight and expose her. To hell with that damn actress..."
Shen Qingshu couldn't hear what Qiao Xingjia said after that.
She fainted.
-
Shen Qingshu slept a very deep sleep.
I woke up at noon the next day.
Qiao Xingjia pushed open the ward door and just happened to see her propping herself up on the bed to sit up.
"You're finally awake."
Shen Qingshu turned around upon hearing the sound and asked her, "What's wrong with me?"
Qiao Xingjia closed the door, walked to the bedside and sat down, scoffing, "She's probably just driven mad by that scumbag and bitch!"
Shen Qingshu's eyelashes trembled. Recalling what had happened in the pharmacy, she still felt sad.
Knowing full well that Fu Siyan didn't care about her feelings at all, she still insisted on demanding an explanation, only to humiliate herself.
She was completely blinded by her emotions.
Shen Qingshu raised her hand and rubbed her temples, filled with regret.
"What are you planning to do now?" Qiao Xingjia glanced at her stomach, her tone heavy. "Given Fu Siyan's attitude towards you, are you still going to have his child?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu paused.
“Shu, being a single mother isn’t easy.” Qiao Xingjia held her hand. “Your aunt will be out tomorrow. If she knew your situation, she would be heartbroken.”
"I understand." Shen Qingshu touched her belly, her voice very soft: "I'm just... a little reluctant."
Qiao Xingjia frowned, about to speak, when a girl's startled cry came from outside—
"Oh my god! Zhou Yuchu has gone public with his relationship!"
"A few days ago, a secondary account revealed that she had been living with her boyfriend, who is not in the entertainment industry, for many years! This is solid evidence!"
"What solid evidence? They're childhood sweethearts! Besides, Zhou Yuchu's boyfriend, who's not in the entertainment industry, is the young master of the Fu family, the richest family in Beicheng. Not only does he have a powerful family background, but he's also a renowned top lawyer!"
"Young Master Fu? Is that the lawyer Fu who has never lost a case so far?"
"Yeah! He was on a legal education program recently, he's super handsome! Tall and long-legged! He looks really good!"
"My God! Zhou Yuchu is eating so well! All the socialites in Beicheng are going to have their dreams shattered!"
...
The sounds of conversation gradually faded into the distance.
The atmosphere in the ward was oppressive.
Qiao Xingjia tried to hold back, but she couldn't help it anymore—
"I'm truly impressed!"
She slapped her thigh hard, wincing in pain but still cursing, "Fu Siyan is openly cheating! You're not even divorced yet and he's already publicly dating Zhou Yuchu?!"
A subtle, persistent pain spread through Shen Qingshu's heart, but her expression remained blank. "Sooner or later, this day would come."
Now that things have come to this, she has no choice but to face reality.
What she once thought was a legally compatible five-year marriage was, in Fu Siyan's eyes, nothing more than a partnership that could be terminated at any time.
He never truly acknowledged the marriage, and naturally, he didn't see anything wrong with his relationship with Zhou Yuchu.
"You've already compromised?" Qiao Xingjia looked at her with disappointment: "Even if your marriage started as a partnership, if he hadn't lied to you that Fu Siyu's biological mother was dead, why would you have agreed to marry him?"
Her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Yes, if Shen Qingshu had known from the beginning that Fu Siyu's biological mother was Zhou Yuchu, she wouldn't have agreed to marry Fu Siyan, much less let herself fall for him...
Even if she had no other choice but to use marriage as an exchange, she would still uphold her principles and do her best to fulfill the duties of a stepmother.
She would never interfere in the relationship between Fu Siyan and Zhou Yuchu, nor would she allow herself to become a legally unloved third party.
This outcome is so embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing!
Qiao Xingjia looked at Shen Qingshu and felt really sorry for her!
She knew that Shen Qingshu was actually a very strong-willed person at heart. She was unwilling to show any grievances in front of others, and she kept everything to herself. This was related to the influence of Shen Qingshu's family of origin. It was precisely because of this personality that those messy and eccentric family members were able to hurt Shen Qingshu more recklessly.
I thought life would gradually get better after I left my family, but then Fu Siyan and Zhou Yuchu, that scumbag and despicable couple, came along!
Qiao Xingjia became increasingly angry, so she took out her phone and logged into Weibo.
“Fu Siyan is a lawyer. He has a more accurate judgment than others. For five whole years, it’s not that he couldn’t see your efforts and sincerity; he saw them but never took you seriously!”
"Wait! Sister, I'll get revenge for you! I'll expose them right now, I'll expose their true colors..."
"never mind."
Shen Qingshu reached out and pressed down on Qiao Xingjia's phone.
Qiao Xingjia looked up at her and saw that she really didn't intend to make a fuss, which made her even angrier!
"How can you let it go?! Five years! A full five years! Fu Siyan and Zhou Yuchu lied to you for five whole years. They were inseparable behind your back and made you their free babysitter for five years!"
“Taking care of Fu Siyu was a condition of our cooperation.”
"Bullshit!" Qiao Xingjia put her hands on her hips and continued to curse, "Even if taking care of Fu Siyu was a condition of your cooperation! Then why should Fu Siyan touch you?! He loves Zhou Yuchu so much, why would he come and ruin you? He even got you pregnant... How can Shen Qingshu swallow this?!"
Shen Qingshu was taken aback, then pursed her lips awkwardly.
A few seconds later, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's my fault, I'm so useless."
Qiao Xingjia was stunned and realized that her words had gone too far. She quickly bent down and hugged Shen Qingshu.
"You're great, you're perfectly fine! I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was just too angry. You know how my mouth is, I talk nonsense when I get excited."
Qiao Xingjia hugged her, gently stroking her thin back.
"Don't listen to my nonsense, you're great! You have absolutely no problems! It's those scumbags and bitches who don't even know how to be human. Our Ah Shu is the best in the world. It's a shame that a scumbag like you missed out on her!"
Shen Qingshu buried her face in Qiao Xingjia's arms, her voice choked with sobs: "Xingxing, that winter night five years ago was so cold. He appeared just in time, I had no choice..."
Qiao Xingjia's heart ached with pain. "I know, I don't blame you. It will all pass. We'll be happy on our own after the divorce. You're so outstanding, you'll definitely get better and better!"
Shen Qingshu hugged her, her shoulders heaving, and her suppressed sobs echoed in the ward.
Qiao Xingjia could only hold her tightly, no matter how many words she said, they were all in vain. She knew she couldn't comfort Shen Qingshu's heart, which was riddled with wounds.
"Star, please help me schedule my surgery."
Qiao Xingjia closed her eyes and followed her into tears, "Okay."
