Chapter 163 Give her 300 million
Fu Siyan walked over and sat down on the single sofa next to him.
His narrow eyes were fixed on her, and his voice was deep, "When are you coming home?"
"Go home?" Shen Qingshu scoffed coldly. "Fu Siyan, do we even have a home anymore?"
“We are not divorced.” Fu Siyan said indifferently. “It’s been a week, you should have calmed down by now.”
Shen Qingshu laughed when she heard this.
"Fu Siyan, in your eyes, I hid in the ancient town for the past four years because I was sulking with you?"
How could a man not hear the sarcasm in her voice?
He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. "What exactly do you want from me before you come back with me?"
“I live a peaceful life here, with family and friends, and I don’t have to worry about being plotted against and killed by Zhou Yu because of you. Why would I go back? To continue to be persecuted?”
Fu Siyan pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before saying, "Even if it's just to give the children a complete family, Xiao Anning can't keep living in this small town. When we return to Beicheng, I will give her the best of everything."
"What you consider the best of everything—is it the Fu family's daughter? Or your enormous inheritance, Fu Siyan?"
Shen Qingshu sneered, "Fu Siyan, don't forget, you still have Fu Siyu! He is your most beloved son, the only heir of your Fu family!"
“Siyu’s existence will not threaten Xiao Anning.” Fu Siyan said seriously, “I will treat both children fairly.”
"Do you think I'll be touched by what you're saying?" Shen Qingshu retorted dismissively.
“Shen Qingshu,” Fu Siyan looked at her, pursed his lips and sighed, “Siyu has often asked about you in the past four years. You had some misunderstandings about his background before, but I have explained it to you now. He is the child you raised from a baby. After four years apart, don’t you miss him?”
Shen Qingshu couldn't believe it. How could Fu Siyan have the nerve to say such a thing?
"When you said that," Shen Qingshu clenched her hands on her knees, "did you think about my son?"
Fu Siyan was taken aback.
Shen Qingshu glared at him angrily, "My son was killed by Zhou Yuchu! You're already protecting Zhou Yuchu, and now you actually have the nerve to use her son to play the emotional card with me? Fu Siyan, are you even a normal person?"
“I’ve already stopped Zhou Yuchu from having any contact with Siyu.” Fu Siyan lowered his eyes and lowered his voice. “She really isn’t suitable to be Siyu’s mother.”
"I don't care if it's suitable or not! All I know is that Fu Siyu is the son of the man who killed my son! Don't even think about me treating him like my son again! You should be grateful that he has a heroic father, otherwise, I really don't know what I would do to Fu Siyu for my son!"
"I admit that my negligence caused my son's death four years ago, but I promised Siyu's father that I would take good care of them, mother and son..."
Fu Siyan closed his eyes, his voice heavy, "I'm sorry, Zhou Yuchu, I can't move."
"You can't move?" Shen Qingshu laughed, but as she laughed, her eyes reddened.
"Fine, you're a man of deep affection and loyalty. You even sacrificed your own son's life for your so-called promise! Fu Siyan, you're truly great!"
Shen Qingshu's clenched fist trembled slightly. Thinking of her son's unjust death, she felt unbearable pain, resentment, and injustice.
"But your debt to Ke Yuhang is your own business. Why should my son have to pay for it?!"
“I’ve been training Fu Siyu for you for five years, and you say it was a transaction, a mutually beneficial arrangement? Fine, I accept it!”
"But my son's life is not a bargaining chip for you to repay my debt of gratitude! If you want me to forgive Zhou Yuchu, then go down and ask your son if he agrees!"
"About our son..." Fu Siyan lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and ultimately said nothing.
He looked up at Shen Qingshu again and asked, "Name your terms. What do I have to do for you to take your daughter back?"
"Fine, I'll go back if you insist." Shen Qingshu took a deep breath, her voice icy. "You can sue Zhou Yuchu and send her to jail!"
"I can't do that."
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Shen Qingshu said coldly, "Unless your son comes back to life, I will not compromise with you again!"
“I promised Ke Yuhang that I would take care of Zhou Yuchu, and I cannot break my promise. However,” Fu Siyan paused, then added, “I can assure you that I will not interfere in anything concerning Zhou Yuchu in the future.”
The implication was that he would no longer stop Shen Qingshu from doing whatever she wanted to Zhou Yuchu.
To put it bluntly, he will no longer protect Zhou Yuchu.
Shen Qingshu knew that this was the biggest concession Fu Siyan could make so far!
"Fu Siyan, you'd better keep your word."
"I wouldn't lie to you about something like this."
Shen Qingshu sneered, "Haven't you schemed against me enough?"
“Now at least we have our own daughter.” Fu Siyan looked at her seriously. “Shen Qingshu, for our daughter’s sake, let’s get along well.”
“I can go back to Beicheng,” Shen Qingshu said coldly, “but I will not move back to Nanxi Mansion.”
Fu Siyan frowned. "Why?"
“I’ve said it before, I will never go back to that place.” Shen Qingshu said firmly, “I have my own house.”
“If you are not satisfied with Nanxi Mansion, we can move to another house.”
Fu Siyan did not back down on this matter.
“Shen Qingshu, we are both adults. You should understand that sulking won’t solve anything. I promise you I won’t interfere with Zhou Yuchu anymore, and I will definitely keep my word. I am now seriously working to repair our marriage.”
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and remained silent.
“You like the properties along the Lijiang River, right?” Fu Siyan said. “I bought a river-view villa there four years ago, and it’s already renovated. If you don’t like Nanxi Mansion, we can move there.”
Shen Qingshu remained silent.
Fu Siyan added, "What other conditions do you have? You can mention them again."
"Moving is fine, but Fu Siyu cannot move here."
“That’s impossible.” Fu Siyan looked at her. “I’ve said before that I will treat both children fairly. I don’t expect you to treat Siyu like your own child as before, but at the very least, you still need to maintain the role of stepmother.”
"You really are..." Shen Qingshu laughed in exasperation again.
"Fu Siyan, I'm really curious, if your son knew that you forced me to be the mother of Zhou Yuchu's son, would he come after you at night to take your life?"
Fu Siyan's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes lowered, and his gaze held back his emotions.
“I can agree to bring Fu Siyu over, but I won’t take care of him, and he can’t call me Mom. Also, you have to give me 300 million. And after we go back, we can’t make our marital relationship public.”
Fu Siyan looked up at her.
The woman looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth or emotion.
"This is my bottom line. If you can't agree to it, then let's continue this stalemate. I will still file for divorce in six months."
Fu Siyan stared at her, his dark eyes deep.
After a moment, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay, I promise you."
-
Fu Siyan was a man of his word; that very night, 300 million was transferred to Shen Qingshu's account.
After receiving the money, Shen Qingshu immediately sent Wen Jingxi a WeChat message: "After we return to Beicheng, let's arrange a meeting with the person in charge there to discuss the acquisition."
Wen Jingxi: [OK! I'll get right on it!]
Shen Qingshu put away her phone and began packing her luggage.
