Chapter 61
Ke Xin looked up with a gloomy look, and met Fu Xuan's face, which was difficult to anger. She turned her head away, and a ripple surged in her heart. Then she said with a scorching gaze: "In fact, if you have someone in your heart, or are already with another woman, you can tell me openly instead of making up all that nonsense about him having three wives and four concubines!"
She originally wanted to speak tactfully, but when Fu Xuan stood in front of her face to face, her mind went blank subconsciously, and whatever was in her mind blurted out.
Fu Xuan chuckled and immediately explained without thinking: "What are you talking about? You are the only one I have!"
"Then what is this?" Ke Xin reached out and handed the photo to Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan's gaze fell on the photo, his expression slightly changed, and he chuckled, "So, you got into this mess because of this photo?"
"More than that," Ke Xin sat up straight, gathered up her messy skirt, and continued, "We're not from the same class. It's only a matter of time before we separate. Since you've found a new love, I'm ready to be the one to withdraw!"
As she spoke, she held her head high and chest out, trying to make herself look stronger.
"Don't make a fuss. She's just an investor. Judging from the photos, we happened to be staying in the same hotel, so we were traveling together. As for the coat in my hand, she said she was cold and snatched it away. There's nothing wrong between us!"
Fu Xuan's explanation didn't stir any ripples in Ke Xin's heart. She slowly said, "Are you sure?"
In the picture, he was smiling so happily that it was hard not to guess, and for a moment, she was in a dilemma again.
"It's real!" Fu Xuan raised his hand to indicate.
Ke Xin was half-believing and half-doubting, and rubbed her nose against Fu Xuan's body, trying to use her woman's sensitivity to smell whether there was any scent of woman's perfume.
Fu Xuan said jokingly, "My silly girl, you don't know how much sweat I shed on you every day. Even though I'm on a business trip, I still send you reports on my videos on WeChat from time to time. You're the one I'm thinking about the most!"
Ke Xin pulled up her WeChat chat history and saw that Fu Xuan had indeed sent many messages. She then said in a pale tone, "A lot of things have happened recently, and I'm really overwhelmed, so I haven't really looked at the history!"
"You didn't see that the photos of my hotel were almost wrapped up in pulp!" Fu Xuan joked.
Ke Xin's eyes flickered, and she finally asked, "Are you a domestic abuser?"
The question caught her off guard. Fu Xuan placed his hand on Ke Xin's forehead, as if to check if she had a fever. Seeing that her temperature was normal, he changed his tone and said firmly, "A man's hands are for conquering the world. If he uses them to hit a woman, then he's not worthy of being a man!"
"What's wrong? What happened recently?" he asked continuously?
Ke Xin talked about her aunt's death and Cheng Cheng's experience. Finally, with a little bit of credit to herself, she casually recounted how she beat Chen Min. Fu Xuan listened, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, and sometimes looking surprised.
Finally, with a roll of his eyes, he spoke succinctly, somewhat like a businessman, "My condolences for your aunt's death. As for Chengcheng, if you want help, I'll have the general assistant arrange a lawyer for her later." Finally, he gave Kexin a thumbs-up and praised her, "Kexin has become brave. That's great. She even knows how to hit her mother!"
In his last sentence, his tone was filled with arrogance and his voice was slightly pinched, which created a sharp contrast with his innate aura of authority and oppression. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed awkward and funny, and there was a hint of silliness in the funnyness.
Ke Xin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When she smiled, Fu Xuan's frown relaxed.
The whole living room seemed brighter.
"Are you feeling a little happier? I told you, I'm Fu Xuan here, so go ahead and get into trouble, and I'll cover everything for you!"
He said this with extreme seriousness, and Ke Xin's eyelashes trembled, and the sorrow of many days seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.
"Really?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, and the arc of her smile was faintly evil.
Fu Xuan glanced at it and nodded briskly.
Ke Xin's eyes flashed, and she became interested: "When I finish packing all this, you can send me to study abroad." She reminded him, "Oh, and bring Bao Bao with you!"
She blinked her big curly eyes, her expression filled with excitement at the mention of going abroad.
Durham University has been a dream she has kept in her heart for many years. Many times, she even thought that even if she just worked part-time to save money, she would be satisfied with taking a trip to Durham University in the UK and taking some photos.
Unexpectedly, her ambition is growing bigger and bigger now, and she even openly proposed to study abroad in front of Fu Xuan.
She knew that she could barely afford the tuition on her own now, but the facts were before her. Her inflated ambition, her comfortable life now, her increasingly confident and independent character, and her carefree and unrestrained attitude were all thanks to Fu Xuan.
Many times she thought that Fu Xuan's appearance was not only a gift from God, but also the only medicine given to her after she had suffered for thirty years.
Fu Xuan nodded without thinking: "No problem!"
Ke Xin shuddered and asked, "Why don't you ask me what I want to do?"
After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "Also, isn't your company in crisis? How come you still have money for me to go abroad?"
Fu Xuan skillfully took off the watch on his wrist. He rolled his Adam's apple, retracted his fleeting thoughts, and said lightly: "The crisis has been resolved by 80%. As for giving you that, it's just a small amount of money. Don't worry about it!"
Ke Xin rubbed against Fu Xuan who had just taken off his watch and quickly jumped into his arms. She imitated the way he usually treated her, gently lifted his chin, and smiled devilishly: "So, why are you so nice to me!"
Fu Xuan tilted his head, gently lifted Ke Xin and sat her on the sofa, supporting herself with her hands. She looked up and thought, "At first, I thought you had some plans for me. After all, women who get close to me want something. Who knew that after you slept with me, you disappeared without a trace. Finally, I saw you setting up a stall, and you seemed quite cute. Then, when I saw you shooting your ex-husband in the head, I thought to myself, this woman is so handsome. Finally, I saw you alone with our daughter, you looked so weak and helpless!"
At the end of his words, he met Ke Xin's listening eyes, cleared his throat, and secretly suppressed the words that he missed the moment when his mother tried to take him away from his father's clutches. He often wondered if his mother would still be alive if she had succeeded in taking him away from his father's control. She was as beautiful as Ke Xin is now when she was young, and she was still in her prime even when she was old. If she had escaped successfully at that time, his mother would be living a simple, plain and happy life with an uncle who was in love with her. The heartbreaking scene of his mother being dragged back by Fu Lei with her suitcase on that stormy night is still vivid in his mind.
As a result, many nights, he moved the unfulfilled regrets of the past into his dreams. In his dreams, he sometimes turned into a Transformer, sometimes Ultraman, and sometimes Spider-Man. In short, he always had special abilities. In his dreams, he could just lightly shoot Fu Lei in the head while he was holding his mother, or even throw him thousands of miles away.
But the beginning of Ke Meng was always beautiful, but at the most critical moment, the day when his mother died, when no matter how he changed, he couldn't save her, and he would wake up in a cold sweat.
He withdrew his gaze from Ke Xin's gentle face and turned to the bright moon hanging outside the living room. He held Ke Xin's hands with both hands and subconsciously thought that he wanted Ke Xin to escape from the clutches of her ex-husband. At least he could help her easily now, which also made up for the regret in his heart that he was cowardly and incompetent when he was young and failed to protect his mother.
This was the secret he had buried deep in his heart. He was fragile, helpless, powerless, and even felt all kinds of sadness. He didn't want Ke Xin to see him so frustrated, so he just made up some irrelevant nonsense.
Ke Xin crossed her legs, hooked her toes around Fu Xuan's waist, and supported her chin with her hands, listening to him speak at length very quietly.
It was very strange. She had already prepared to break up, but she didn't expect that they would have a close conversation as soon as they met. What surprised her even more was that this was the first time Fu Xuan said so many words to her. In her impression, Fu Xuan always looked like a cold-faced president, but when he occasionally said sweet words, she could feel some warmth.
Sometimes she thought that if it weren't for his status and the fact that he gave her all kinds of expensive jewelry, bags and houses when they had a disagreement, and if these tangible things convinced her, she would most likely analyze him as a scumbag.
But among all the men she has met, he is the only one she knows who is truly honest, who does not talk big and who keeps his word.
Looking around, whether it is friends, relatives, or even celebrities on the Internet, it is really rare to meet such a peerless man, and she happened to meet him with this one in ten thousand probability.
This was during an economic downturn, when tens of millions of graduates couldn't find jobs, even men started wearing makeup, showing off their abs online and waiting for rich women to support them, and a large number of single men held up signs of protest saying that women shouldn't accept dowries.
If she hadn't met him, it would be hard for her to imagine what she would be like now.
Just as she was thinking about it, the news broadcast on the news at the same time caught her attention.
The video was reporting on today's murder. It took place inside that familiar rental house. The camera flickered, and Cheng Cheng froze in shock. The scene was covered in blood, and the reporter expertly reported the cause of the incident...
Ke Xin subconsciously felt that reality was both absurd and magical.
The next day, she went to the interrogation room with her lawyer.
Cheng Cheng raised her eyes and sneered. When she saw Ke Xin outside the door, the corners of her rosy eyes narrowed slightly. Her lips were pale, as if she hadn't slept all night. She looked dazed and muttered to herself, "He was drunk and said he wanted to kill Xiao Piqiu and me. He rushed over and strangled me and tried to bite me. I couldn't breathe. I didn't want Xiao Piqiu to see me like this. I was so scared. I couldn't pay off the debts. I might as well die with him."
