Chapter 33 Let me tell you clearly, I refuse.
The wind and snow were so heavy that the windshield wipers were swaying wildly, and Qiao Xingjia was driving very slowly.
The car was well-heated, and soft music played softly.
Shen Qingshu leaned back in her chair with her eyes closed, completely still.
Qiao Xingjia glanced at her occasionally.
Although she didn't know what had happened at Nanxi Mansion, she could sense that Shen Qingshu was badly injured this time.
Beep beep—
Suddenly, a car horn sounded from behind.
Qiao Xingjia glanced at the rearview mirror.
A black Maybach was chasing after their car.
"Is that car behind Fu Siyan's?"
Shen Qingshu slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the rearview mirror, and frowned slightly: "It's him."
"He's flashing at me!" Qiao Xingjia sped up. "Wait, why is he chasing after me?!"
"Ignore him."
"Of course we'll ignore it!"
Qiao Xingjia tensed up and started to accelerate, shouting, "Hold on tight! Sister, I'm going to speed up!"
But the snowstorm was too severe, and 60 km/h was already the limit of Qiao Xingjia's driving skills...
Soon, Maybach overtook them.
Amidst Qiao Xingjia's cursing, the Maybach suddenly swerved!
Qiao Xingjia's eyes widened, and she slammed on the brakes—
Shen Qingshu was thrown forward by inertia, but fortunately she was wearing a seatbelt and was not injured.
Qiao Xingjia regained her senses and turned to look at Shen Qingshu, "A-Shu, how are you? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Shen Qingshu shook her head. "How about you?"
"I want to curse Fu Siyan's ancestors for eighteen generations! I'm getting out of the car right now and smashing his car to pieces..."
Qiao Xingjia couldn't bring herself to say "fetus".
Because as soon as she turned her head, she saw Fu Siyan himself standing in front of her car.
The windshield wipers were whirring wildly, and even the windshield couldn't hide the man's aura at that moment.
He was dressed in all black, the hem of his long overcoat swaying in the wind and snow, his nearly 1.9-meter-tall, imposing figure standing like a sturdy pine tree.
The swirling snow couldn't diminish his chilling aura; his handsome face remained expressionless, his deep eyes fixed intently on Shen Qingshu inside the car.
Qiao Xingjia: "..."
She swallowed hard and turned to look at Shen Qingshu.
"Ah Shu, although I've never been afraid of arguing or fighting and I've never lost! But if my opponent is him, the only way I can win is to step on the gas and run him over right now!"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
She wrapped the blanket around herself more tightly. "He's coming for me. Wait for me in the car."
"No, what if he kidnaps you?"
Shen Qingshu paused in her action of opening the door, then turned around to look at Qiao Xingjia, who looked nervous.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and Shen Qingshu smiled helplessly, "Xingxing, read less romance novels."
Qiao Xingjia: "...Okay."
As the car door opened, the wind and snow rushed in.
Shen Qingshu got out of the car, closed the door, and brushed a few strands of hair from her cheek.
Fu Siyan stared intently at her.
Shen Qingshu stood beside the car, a few steps away from him.
The sky was even darker than before, and the wind and snow seemed to be intensifying.
This kind of weather is actually not suitable for talking outdoors.
But Shen Qingshu knew that once Fu Siyan caught up, he wouldn't give up easily.
“Fu Siyan, if you’ve come here to persuade me to go back and take care of Siyu, then let me tell you clearly now, I refuse.”
Fu Siyan looked at her and said in a low voice, "Siyu is just young and doesn't know any better. He was just saying those things in anger."
“I’m not saying this out of anger, it’s the truth. You told him that I’m not his mother.”
Fu Siyan was taken aback.
“I don’t think I’m that important to Siyu.”
Shen Qingshu looked at him, her voice blending into the wind and snow: "Siyu has just gotten used to relying on me for the past five years. It's normal for him to have withdrawal symptoms now that I'm suddenly leaving. He'll be fine after a while."
Fu Siyan's thin lips were pressed into a thin line.
The wind and snow grew heavier, and although they were only a few steps apart, Fu Siyan felt that he could hardly see Shen Qingshu anymore.
"So you're really determined to cut ties with Siyu?"
Shen Qingshu blinked. "Do you know why I rang the doorbell at Nanxi Mansion today?"
Fu Siyan remained silent.
Shen Qingshu said, "Because in my heart, from the moment I signed the divorce agreement and moved out, Nanxi Mansion was no longer my home. When you go to someone else's house, you need to ring the doorbell; that's basic courtesy."
Fu Siyan frowned. "Siyu will be sad if he hears you say that."
Shen Qingshu smiled, the wind and snow effectively concealing the redness in her eyes.
"Fu Siyan, you truly deserve to be called a top lawyer whom everyone fears and admires. You really know how to manipulate people's hearts."
Fu Siyan remained calm and did not refute.
In Shen Qingshu's eyes, his attitude was simply that he was too lazy to explain.
In the past, she would have felt disappointed and heartbroken because of this.
But now, she won't.
However, at this point, it's better to make some things clearer.
"Don't you think what I did today was a bit cruel to Siyu?"
“You know perfectly well that Siyu relies on you a lot.” Fu Siyan paused, then added, “Xiao Chu may not be able to replace you in his heart.”
"Really?" Shen Qingshu laughed. "Since you know how important I am to Siyu, why did you say those things to him? You want him to understand that blood relatives are irreplaceable, but you also want him to rely on me forever."
"Fu Siyan, don't you think your teaching methods are disgusting?"
Fu Siyan was taken aback, then sighed, "He and Xiao Chu are biological mother and son. Xiao Chu suffers from depression, and reuniting with Siyu has always been a knot in her heart."
“I didn’t prevent them from recognizing each other. Now that I’m stepping down, I’m making room for your family of three. I’ve already been so sensible, what else do you have to complain about?”
Fu Siyan stared at her, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
His silence at this moment was, in Shen Qingshu's eyes, a kind of taken-for-granted neglect.
“Fu Siyan, I don’t know how you view our marriage, but in my opinion, even if there’s no love in this marriage, we are still family who trust and care for each other. But you hid Siyu’s background from me and made me take care of your and Zhou Yuchu’s child! You made me feel like a clown in this marriage…”
Even now, bringing these things up still makes Shen Qingshu feel embarrassed. She paused, took a few deep breaths to suppress the soreness in her throat, and then continued:
“I know our marriage was based on mutual benefit from the beginning, but even if it was a business partnership, I should have the right to know! But you, from start to finish, treated me like an outsider, or perhaps you just thought I was stupid and easy to fool…”
"I have never considered you an outsider."
Fu Siyan looked at Shen Qingshu through the howling wind and snow, his narrow eyes churning with complex emotions. "As for Siyu's background, I didn't intentionally hide it from you. It was because..."
"It doesn't matter anymore." Shen Qingshu interrupted him, saying dismissively, "At this point, I don't want to care about anything concerning you and your son anymore."
Fu Siyan was taken aback, seemingly disbelieving. He frowned and asked, "Are you serious?"
Do I look like I'm joking now?
Shen Qingshu sneered, "Fu Siyan, can't you be a little more dignified? I understand your protectiveness of your son and your reluctance to see Zhou Yuchu heartbroken. So instead of morally blackmailing me here, you should go back to your loved ones and son as soon as possible."
As she finished speaking, she turned to open the car door, but Fu Siyan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist.
He was very strong, and Shen Qingshu was pulled by him, causing her to crash directly into his arms!
She was stunned for a moment, then raised her other hand to push him away, but he pulled her into his arms even harder, and a large hand landed on her lower abdomen!
A deep, husky male voice sounded from above: "Are you pregnant?"
