Chapter 193 We can never go back to the way things were!
Recently, Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi have become accustomed to Fu Siyan's uninvited and persistent harassment anytime, anywhere.
In the northern part of the city, Fu Siyan could easily find someone.
Wen Jingxi looked at Shen Qingshu, "Is it reasonable?"
Shen Qingshu knew that Fu Siyan had come here to block her, most likely because of her lawsuit against Qin Fang.
She touched the sleepy Xiao Anning and said to Wen Jingxi, "Take Xiao Anning to the car and wait for me."
Wen Jingxi nodded and carried Xiao Anning towards where the car was parked.
Qin Yancheng stepped forward, stopping Fu Siyan, his expression serious. "If you want to resolve this properly, then speak properly."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan stared at Qin Yancheng with his dark eyes, "You knew about this too?"
“I happened to run into her at the hospital yesterday,” Qin Yancheng sighed. “Her face was terribly swollen yesterday. Her aunt really went too far; her eardrum was even perforated.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he looked at Shen Qingshu, "What did the doctor say?"
Shen Qingshu ignored him and turned to Qin Yancheng, "It's getting late, you should take Xingxing and Xiaoxingchen back first."
Qin Yancheng felt that the parties involved should discuss this matter themselves, so he nodded and said, "Then we'll head back first. You two should calm down and have a good talk!"
The last sentence was addressed to Fu Siyan.
Fu Siyan did not respond.
Qin Yancheng pursed his lips and sighed, then walked away with his son in one arm and his wife in the other.
In the darkness, under the shadows of the streetlights, Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan stood facing each other.
The two were clearly only a step apart.
For some reason, at this moment, as Fu Siyan looked at Shen Qingshu in front of him, he had a strange feeling that she was very far away from him.
Shen Qingshu didn't want to waste time and went straight to the point.
“If you’re here because of the lawsuit, then let me make it clear: I will not withdraw the case.”
Fu Siyan looked at her, his dark eyes unfathomable. "I'm not here to persuade you to drop the charges."
Shen Qingshu smiled faintly, "Since it's not about withdrawing the lawsuit, then why did you come to me? To discuss divorce?"
Fu Siyan pursed his thin lips, as if he had considered it for a moment, before slowly speaking.
"I never expected my mother to lay a hand on you. I apologize on her behalf."
"No need," Shen Qingshu said coldly. "The person who hit me was Madam Qin. I will only hold her accountable. Even if she needs to apologize, she should apologize to me herself."
“I will not appear in this lawsuit, but she is my mother, and I cannot completely ignore it. I will leave the case to Shao Qing to handle.”
Shen Qingshu was not surprised by Fu Siyan's arrangement.
If Fu Siyan were to directly defend Qin Fang, it would be tantamount to standing directly against her, making the fact that the couple had broken off relations even more obvious.
But Fu Siyan had obviously taken this into account, so he asked Shao Qing to step forward.
"Anyway, I have submitted all the evidence I was required to submit, and my lawyer will fight for my claims."
Shen Qingshu paused for a moment, then said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to rest."
"Yes." Fu Siyan looked at her, his dark eyes deep. "I've spoken with Siyu, and I'll send Siyu away."
Shen Qingshu raised an eyebrow, looking at him with icy eyes, "And then?"
“Didn’t you say,” Fu Siyan paused, his voice low, “that you would take your daughter home after Siyu moved out?”
"Oh, I think I did say that."
Shen Qingshu smiled and, under Fu Siyan's questioning gaze, said casually, "But I've changed my mind now."
Fu Siyan's brows furrowed sharply. "What do you mean?"
"I regret it." Shen Qingshu smiled, her beautiful eyes curving, but the smile was filled with endless coldness.
"Fu Siyan, are you feeling quite angry right now?"
“Chen Qingshu,” Fu Siyan said, his jawline taut, “I’m serious.”
"Four years ago, I was serious too."
Shen Qingshu said, "Four years ago, I was also very serious. I went to Yuncheng, I went to Ghana, and I completed that ink painting. But in the end? Did I keep my word?"
Fu Siyan was stunned.
“Fu Siyan, I’m just treating you the way you treat me. You have no right to be angry.”
Shen Qingshu met his gaze, her eyes filled with nothing but coldness.
Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty. "So, you never intended to bring your daughter home from the very beginning, did you?"
“Of course,” Shen Qingshu said. “The moment I see you, I think of my son, Fu Siyan. You’ve never realized that my son is dead. I hate Zhou Yuchu and Fu Siyu, but the person I hate the most is actually you!”
Fu Siyan's pupils contracted sharply.
“Every time I see you since my son died, I wish I had a knife in my hand to stab you in the heart!”
Fu Siyan stared blankly at Shen Qingshu.
“I hate that you repeatedly indulged Zhou Yuchu, and repeatedly forced me to stay because of Fu Siyu. I hate even more your inaction after learning that Zhou Yuchu was the one who killed my son! I hate you the most, I hate you the most…”
Shen Qingshu's chest heaved, her voice trembling, "What I hate most is that you wouldn't even let me see my son one last time!"
"That's my flesh and blood! He's the family I wanted to keep even though I was completely disappointed in you! But because of you, because of all of you! I lost him, I lost him forever! Fu Siyan, how dare you still hope that I can go back to the way things were before!"
Finally, Shen Qingshu could no longer suppress her emotions and shouted out the last sentence!
Fu Siyan felt an unfamiliar throbbing pain in his heart.
This was the first time he had felt Shen Qingshu's emotions so directly;
For the first time, I clearly felt Shen Qingshu's hatred for me;
Her eyes were red-rimmed, filled with resentment and hatred towards him...
At that moment, Fu Siyan seemed to hear another voice in his mind saying to him, "You can't go back. She can never turn back."
A sudden wave of panic washed over him.
An extremely unfamiliar emotion filled his mind.
His rationality and strength crumbled at this moment.
"I...I can change..."
Fu Siyan took a step forward, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Shen Qingshu quickly take a step back.
He stood rooted to the spot, staring at her helplessly.
Shen Qingshu stared at him warily, her gaze filled with anger and hatred, but nothing more.
Fu Siyan's feet were rooted to the spot.
Even though Shen Qingshu's attitude and eyes had already given him a very clear answer.
But he was still unwilling to give up.
“We still have Xiao Anning.” He tried to persuade her by using their daughter, “Just think of it as a sacrifice for our daughter…”
"Stop using the child to blackmail me!" Shen Qingshu shouted, unable to contain herself any longer. "What exactly is a child in your eyes?!"
"Fu Siyan, do you really know how to love a child? Do you really know how to be a father?!"
Fu Siyan's pupils trembled slightly, and the throbbing pain in his heart intensified with each question from the woman.
"Now that things have come to this, I naturally no longer naively expect you to genuinely love Xiao Anning. In your eyes, she is just a pawn you use to bind and entangle me."
“No…” Fu Siyan’s voice was hoarse, his eyes reddening, “I really love her…”
"Love?" Shen Qingshu sneered. "Do you even know what love is? Take Fu Siyu for example. You keep saying you love him. Yes! You've given Fu Siyu a very good material life, and you even plan to groom him as the future heir of the Fu family. But have you ever really cared about his inner needs?"
A hint of confusion gradually surfaced in Fu Siyan's dark eyes.
"Admit it, you don't know how to love at all. You only ever calculate gains and losses, and you only ever seek a result in everything you do and do."
Shen Qingshu took a deep breath to calm herself, her voice regaining its coldness, "You're suffocating!"
After saying that, Shen Qingshu stopped looking at him and turned to walk straight towards Wen Jingxi's white Range Rover.
Fu Siyan did not catch up.
He stood there watching Shen Qingshu's departing figure.
Under the streetlights, her shadow was reflected on the ground.
Fu Siyan stared blankly as she walked away step by step.
On a summer night in the northern part of the city, neon lights blaze, cars come and go on the streets, and countless people hurry home.
The white Range Rover drove into the night.
Fu Siyan's eyelashes fluttered as she stared blankly at the cars coming and going on the road.
Of all the people returning home, he was the only one missing.
