Chapter 22 She has completely given up on Fu Siyan
Fu Siyan glanced at Jiang Yuelan, paused for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice, "About what happened online..."
“Such words.”
Zhou Yuchu's gentle voice came from outside the door.
Fu Siyan paused, turned around, and frowned slightly. "Why are you here?"
Wearing sunglasses and a mask, Zhou Yuchu glanced around and said in a low voice, "I ran into Yancheng when I came to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. He told me that Miss Shen and Aunt Jiang are both at the hospital."
She spoke innocently, paused, and then said, "I didn't expect you to be here too."
In the ward, Jiang Yuelan saw Zhou Yuchu and hurriedly tried to get out of bed.
Shen Qingshu quickly stopped her, "Mom, you're still on an IV drip, you can't come down."
"What can we do? The public outcry is so huge, Mrs. Fu has even come knocking on our door!"
Jiang Yuelan held Shen Qingshu's hand, "Ashu, quickly apologize to Mrs. Fu. Promise her that you will never have any improper thoughts about Attorney Fu again!"
Shen Qingshu looked at her mother in disbelief.
"Mom, things aren't as you think, you..."
"You child!" Jiang Yuelan looked at her angrily. "How can you still not listen to advice at a time like this! Ashu, no matter how outstanding Attorney Fu is, he is still a married man. You can't be so foolish!"
Shen Qingshu stared blankly at her mother.
Why?
Why do even her closest relatives see her this way?
What kind of life has she been living for the past five years?
It was only at this moment that Shen Qingshu truly realized the truth.
It turns out that in this marriage, what Fu Siyan gave her as her husband was not salvation, but a carefully crafted boomerang.
The divorce was not the end; it was the beginning of her miserable ordeal.
Five years, a full five years! Shen Qingshu never dreamed that the person she loved so dearly would be so heartless and cruel to her!
In order to save face for Zhou Yuchu, Fu Siyan never thought of leaving her any room for maneuver!
A man like that isn't worth her even a little bit of affection!
Shen Qingshu lowered her eyes, concealing the disappointment and embarrassment within them.
Since Fu Siyan doesn't care about her life or death, why should she care about being respectable or not?
Shen Qingshu slowly pulled her hand away from her mother's tight grip.
She looked at her mother, tears welling up in her eyes, and asked, "Mom, I'm your daughter, why don't you believe me?"
Jiang Yuelan's palm was empty.
She sat on the hospital bed, looking at her daughter whose eyes were slightly red, and suddenly realized something.
"Shu, it's not that Mom doesn't believe you, Mom is just worried about you..."
"Mom, don't worry, I swear."
Shen Qingshu interrupted her mother, her tone icy and resolute: "I, Shen Qingshu, swear on my life today that I will never have any romantic thoughts about Fu Siyan, and I will never be a third party in this life. If I break my promise, may I die a horrible death!"
Fu Siyan's brow twitched as he stared at Shen Qingshu's retreating figure, his eyes darkening.
"A-Shu!" Jiang Yuelan's eyes widened, her heart aching with worry. "Are you stupid? How could you make such a solemn vow..."
"Mom, I have a clear conscience." Shen Qingshu said firmly.
She was never a third party, and from now on, she will no longer be a slave to her emotions!
Jiang Yuelan opened her mouth, wanting to speak, but she was tongue-tied and afraid that she would say the wrong thing.
Seeing her daughter's calm demeanor, she realized she had misunderstood!
This is her daughter! She's the daughter she'd protect with all her might, even if it meant going against the entire Shen family!
She can't doubt her daughter, no matter who she suspects...
Jiang Yuelan felt guilty and helpless, like a child who had made a mistake. She reached out to take Chen Qingshu's hand and said, "Qingshu, Mom was wrong. Mom apologizes to you. You've been wronged."
The words "You've been wronged" almost brought Shen Qingshu to tears on the spot.
She was indeed wronged, but she knew she couldn't blame her mother.
My mother doesn't have much of her own opinion, and she gets easily swayed by public opinion when she doesn't know anything about the situation, which is why she gets confused when she cares. I understand that.
After comforting her mother, Shen Qingshu turned around, glanced at Zhou Yuchu outside the door, and then her cold gaze fell on Fu Siyan's face.
“Fu Siyan, I agreed to clarify online because of the help you gave me back then,” Shen Qingshu said coldly. “But if I had known things would turn out this way, I would have preferred to be an ungrateful person.”
Fu Siyan looked at her and saw an unprecedented resolve in her calm face.
This is completely different from Shen Qingshu's gentle yet considerate demeanor over the past five years.
He felt that Shen Qingshu was different.
“I’ll handle things online,” Fu Siyan said in a low voice. “Don’t blame Xiao Chu; she’s already spoken up for you on her personal Weibo account.”
"Speak up for me?" Shen Qingshu laughed. "If it weren't for you guys, would I be being cyberbullied? Would I need her to pretend to be kind and speak up for me?"
Fu Siyan pursed his lips, speechless for a moment.
Shen Qingshu was too lazy to get involved with them anymore.
“Fu Siyan, listen carefully. I’ve tolerated you all this time because of Fu Siyu, but that doesn’t mean I’m easy to bully.”
Shen Qingshu glanced at Zhou Yuchu outside the door, her voice low but threatening: "It's just public opinion, I can afford to play that game. But if you really want to play it, are you sure you can handle it?"
"Shen Qingshu." Fu Siyan's face darkened. "Are you threatening me?"
“If you have a clear conscience, my words will not threaten you.”
Shen Qingshu stared directly at Fu Siyan and sneered, "Fu Siyan, one shouldn't be too greedy. You want both, your behavior is really disgusting!"
"Don't bother us anymore. Zhou Yuchu is a celebrity. It's your business if you're willing to put up with paparazzi following you. My mom and I aren't tools for you to show off your love!"
Fu Siyan looked at Shen Qingshu, his dark eyes unfathomable.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yu, who was outside the door, hurriedly came in.
She approached Shen Qingshu and Jiang Yuelan, removed her sunglasses and mask, revealing her exquisite and beautiful face.
With no makeup on, her pale skin made her look pitiful.
She bowed deeply, her expression sincere: "Miss Chen, Aunt Jiang, I'm sorry, I've caused you a lot of trouble."
Shen Qingshu frowned.
She wouldn't say it's okay.
The whole affair started with Zhou Yu.
"Ms. Zhou, stop playing the victim here. First, you asked me to meet you at a coffee shop, then you brought up Fu Siyan's cheating scandal. You know perfectly well whether you are innocent or not!"
Zhou Yu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen. I didn't expect things to develop to this point. I have already asked the president of the fan club to lead the fans to delete the comments that are bad about you."
This sounds utterly innocent; anyone who didn't know better would think that Shen Qingshu forced Zhou Yuchu to do it.
Shen Qingshu stared at Zhou Yuchu and said coldly, "Miss Zhou, I've never been one to suffer losses for nothing. If you can't resolve this matter properly, then I'll use the popularity you've given me to post the most complete and true story between the three of us online!"
Zhou Yu was stunned.
"Miss Zhou has a lot of true fans, doesn't she?" Shen Qingshu stared at Zhou Yuchu's innocent face and smiled. "Then I'd like to see if they'll still love you like this after they know the truth!"
