Chapter 23 Let Me Go
Fu Shenyuan spoke with a cold face, his tone devoid of any warmth.
"You've been at home the whole time for the past six years of our marriage. I don't know what kind of job a housewife with nothing to do needs to talk to others about."
Fu Shenyuan's words were full of displeasure.
Jiang Ranxing has never worked since she married Wen Qingrang; she's always been a housewife. What business is she discussing with Wen Qingrang now?
Does she have official business to discuss?
Fu Shenyuan continued, "If you were like Xue Sha, knowing how to work, ambitious, and striving to shine in your field, you wouldn't be the way you are today."
Fu Shenyuan's words were nothing short of mockery to Jiang Ranxing.
Fu Shenyuan was saying that she was not as good as Lin Xuesha.
Indeed, Jiang Ranxing herself knew that she had sacrificed far too much for this marriage.
She originally thought that sacrificing her career and immersing herself in family life for her husband and children was a very noble sacrifice.
In the end, in Fu Shenyuan's eyes, in her son's eyes, or in her parents' and brother's eyes, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was an unambitious person.
Her efforts seemed utterly ridiculous to everyone.
It seems that her efforts only moved herself.
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to explain anything because she knew that no matter how she explained, Fu Shenyuan wouldn't believe her or listen.
Fu Shenyuan is a very opinionated person who will not be easily swayed by others.
What she said was meaningless to Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to say anything more, and she gave Fu Shenyuan a very faint smile.
She stood up resolutely, took her bag, and said goodbye to Wen Qing.
She wanted to escape this embarrassment.
"Mr. Wen, I need to think about what we discussed today. I'll get back to you later. Sorry, I have to go now."
Jiang Ranxing turned around and walked downstairs without saying a word to Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha.
Fu Shenyuan was not very satisfied with Jiang Ranxing's attitude.
She just left like that.
There was no explanation given to him.
She did not respond to his question.
He remembered Jiang Ranxing's smile just now.
Fu Shenyuan followed him downstairs.
Jiang Ranxing had just stepped into the corridor when Fu Shenyuan, who had followed her down, grabbed her arm and dragged her into a private room on the first floor.
"Let me go, Fu Shenyuan, you're hurting me," Jiang Ranxing said in a low voice.
Jiang Ranxing struggled to free his arm.
She only heard Fu Shenyuan snort coldly, and he released her hand as if he were disgusted.
Fu Shenyuan stood in front of Jiang Ranxing, exuding an aggressive aura.
"Jiang Ranxing, do you still remember that you are Mrs. Fu? Do you even know what propriety, righteousness, and shame are? Do you still care about the reputation of the Fu family?"
Jiang Ranxing found it hard to believe.
What did Fu Shenyuan mean by saying that?
She was just discussing a business deal with Wen Qingrang at the restaurant; how did it get involved in so many moral issues?
Does it also involve the Fu family?
"I don't understand what you're saying, and I've already explained to you that Wen Qingrang and I were just discussing business. You should understand that, Mr. Fu."
Fu Shenyuan snorted coldly, not believing Jiang Ranxing's words.
"What job do you have to talk about, Jiang Ranxing? I think you know your place. You should know what Mrs. Fu should and shouldn't do."
Jiang Ranxing said bitterly, "I know my current status, I don't need President Fu to emphasize it to me."
Why is Fu Shenyuan being so aggressive?
Doesn't he know she wants a divorce? Why say such hurtful things to her?
Even during this time when they are about to get divorced, can't Fu Shenyuan give her some dignity?
Looking back on their marriage, Jiang Ranxing's less-than-dignified aspects were always more prominent.
Jiang Ranxing felt a bitter taste in her mouth, so bitter that she wanted to cry.
"Since you know that, you should know to keep your distance from other men and not to have overly intimate behavior."
Fu Shenyuan was not satisfied with her and Wen Qingrang's behavior.
But what could possibly displease him?
Is it simply because she is now Mrs. Fu?
Jiang Ranxing looked at him and said, "I was just having a meal with Mr. Wen. Aren't you and Ms. Lin behaving more intimately?"
Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha were holding hands; how could anyone comment on her relationship with others?
"My business with Xue Sha is none of your concern."
Jiang Ranxing laughed after hearing this, but it was a bitter and desolate laugh.
In the past, if she had done something with someone else that might be misunderstood by Fu Shenyuan, she would definitely have followed behind Fu Shenyuan and tried her best to explain.
She explained that she had no relationship with other men and had never liked any other men.
Because she will only ever love Fu Shenyuan.
At that time, Fu Shenyuan wouldn't listen, but Jiang Ranxing just liked to explain things to him more.
But now, Jiang Ranxing feels it's unnecessary.
Honestly, sometimes saying too much doesn't really help.
It will only embarrass her and bring her no other benefit.
“Mr. Fu, I am not qualified to interfere in your and Ms. Lin’s affairs, but we are getting a divorce anyway. I should not interfere with who I am with or what I do.”
Fu Shenyuan approached her, exuding an innate sense of oppression befitting a person in a superior position.
"Jiang Ranxing, we're not divorced yet, it's too early for you to say these things."
“As long as we are not divorced, you are the rightful Mrs. Fu. Your every move represents the Fu family. The Fu family will not allow someone with a tainted reputation. You had better discipline yourself.”
Fu Shenyuan's eyes turned cold.
"Be a good Mrs. Fu and avoid trouble."
After saying that, Fu Shenyuan opened the door to the private room and left.
Jiang Ranxing stood there stunned, speechless for a long time.
The marriage she had so desperately sought and the status of Mrs. Fu that she had worked so hard to obtain were nothing more than a puppet in Fu Shenyuan's eyes.
Fu Shenyuan never cared about the puppet's emotions.
It seems that this doll cannot have emotions; it must be a qualified template.
Fu Shenyuan will not give this doll love, nor will he give the doll any other emotions.
He also does not allow the puppets to behave in any way that deviates from their intended purpose.
In the past, Jiang Ranxing would only stay by Fu Shenyuan's side and obey his every whim.
Now that she's no longer clinging to Fu Shenyuan, he tells her what she, as Mrs. Fu, should and shouldn't do.
Jiang Ranxing numbly deceived herself, believing that she had always been happy.
She was so wrong.
She is determined to get a divorce.
Jiang Ranxing was even more determined at this moment, without the slightest hesitation.
She's been stuck in her ways for too long; it's time to free herself.
As for Fu Shenyuan...
She was really tired.
She no longer had the strength to love.
As Jiang Ranxing walked out of the private room, he ran into Wen Qingrang in the corridor.
Jiang Ranxing had no mood to say anything more to Wen Qingrang and turned to leave.
Wen Qingrang stopped her: "Mrs. Fu, how are you? What did Shen Yuan say to you? You don't look well."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at him and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter."
She wouldn't take anything Fu Shenyuan said to heart.
The place in one's heart is precious; it's enough to keep it for oneself.
"That's just how Shen Yuan is; he's cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Mrs. Fu, please don't mind him."
Wen Qingrang explained on behalf of Fu Shenyuan from the perspective of a friend.
Jiang Ranxing just found it funny.
Wen Qingrang was indeed a friend of Fu Shenyuan, as the two families had a long-standing friendship that was quite extraordinary.
But Jiang Ranxing also lived by Fu Shenyuan's side for six years.
“Mr. Wen, I understand what you mean, but I am Fu Shenyuan’s wife. Even if I am not the person he loves, I have a certain understanding of him after so long.”
Jiang Ranxing said with relief, "I can tell what he really means. What he said to me came from the bottom of his heart."
Jiang Ranxing shook his head and laughed at his own foolishness.
“What Fu Shenyuan said is not false.”
