Chapter 211 Her True Feelings Were Not Interesting
Qinglin Villa.
When Lin Xuesha parked her car at the entrance, she indeed saw the familiar butler.
The housekeeper was also surprised when she appeared.
The butler wondered how Lin Xuesha knew the location of the new villa, but he said nothing and went to greet her as usual.
"Miss Lin, what brings you to the villa?" the butler asked.
Lin Xuesha rolled her eyes at him: "Are you playing dumb with me? Of course I'm here to see Shen Yuan."
Lin Xuesha looked into the villa and saw that it was brightly lit.
What is Shen Yuan doing?
The butler stammered and didn't answer. He couldn't very well say that the master had been keeping his wife company and trying to make her happy.
"Sir is busy with work and hasn't returned to the villa yet. Miss Lin, please go back first," the butler said politely.
Lin Xuesha didn't believe any of this and pushed the butler aside, saying, "Get out of my way, I'll go in and see for myself!"
The butler tried to stop them twice, but found it was no use, so he gave up and simply followed Lin Xuesha into the villa. As for what they would face, that was not something a butler could decide.
Without hesitation, Lin Xuesha walked to the villa entrance, opened the door, and went inside after passing the screen.
When Lin Xuesha entered the living room, she did not see Fu Shenyuan, but instead saw Jiang Ranxing drinking tea and reading a book on the sofa.
Lin Xuesha immediately looked at her with a jealous gaze: "Jiang Ranxing! It really was you! You were the one who hung up on Shen Yuan's phone just now, weren't you? What exactly are you trying to do? You've already divorced Shen Yuan, do you still want to interfere between us?!"
Jiang Ranxing naturally noticed Lin Xuesha coming in, but she didn't look up at her and was indifferent to her unfounded malicious speculation.
Jiang Ranxing turned a page of the English novel in her hand and continued reading the story unfolding in a captivating way.
After Lin Xuesha shouted, she found that Jiang Ranxing was not affected at all. He was doing what he was doing as usual, which made Lin Xuesha even angrier.
Why could Jiang Ranxing sit so calmly? Lin Xuesha walked over in her high heels, snatched the book from Jiang Ranxing's hand, and threw it aside.
Lin Xuesha said fiercely, "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Are you pretending not to see me?"
Jiang Ranxing then looked up at her and sighed helplessly.
"When did you become so rude, Miss Lin?" Jiang Ranxing looked at the book on the ground, too lazy to pick it up, so she poured herself a cup of jasmine tea, intending to drink some tea and then go upstairs to sleep.
Unexpectedly, even when Jiang Ranxing wanted to drink tea, Lin Xuesha seemed to disapprove and immediately tried to snatch the teacup.
Jiang Ranxing was so annoyed by her that he didn't care whether the tea in the cup was hot or cold. He raised his hand slightly and splashed the whole cup of tea onto Lin Xuesha's face.
Lin Xuesha was shocked and stood there shouting at Jiang Ranxing, "What are you doing! Are you crazy, you crazy woman! How dare you splash me!"
Jiang Ranxing rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you hadn't tried to take it, I wouldn't have accidentally spilled the tea on your face."
Jiang Ranxing spoke calmly, seemingly unaffected by any negative emotions.
In comparison, the crazy woman that Lin Xuesha just mentioned was actually Lin Xuesha, not her.
Lin Xuesha was so angry at Jiang Ranxing's words that she snapped, "What are you so arrogant about! Who do you think you are!"
As she spoke, Lin Xuesha seemed to feel that it wasn't enough to vent her anger, and reached out to slap Jiang Ranxing. However, she saw Jiang Ranxing give her a meaningful smile, and then—Lin Xuesha's arm was tightly gripped.
When Lin Xuesha turned around, she saw Fu Shenyuan standing beside her, grabbing her raised arm, his eyes filled with a fierce and unapproachable rage.
Lin Xuesha immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, and her demeanor changed instantly. When she spoke to Fu Shenyuan, her expression became sweet and coquettish.
"Shen Yuan, when did you get back? I didn't see you come over." Lin Xuesha spoke in a low voice, without any of the arrogant attitude she had just displayed.
Fu Shenyuan's expression did not soften at all; in fact, the hand gripping her arm tightened slightly.
"It hurts so much, Shen Yuan, can you let go of me first..." Lin Xuesha clearly showed a pained expression.
Fu Shenyuan then shook off Lin Xuesha's hand. He didn't say anything, but silently picked up the book that Lin Xuesha had just thrown away.
After picking up the book, Fu Shenyuan even thoughtfully brushed off the dust before placing it back in front of Jiang Ranxing.
Fu Shenyuan smiled at Jiang Ranxing and said, "Your book isn't dirty, I'm returning it to you."
Jiang Ranxing glanced down, but the emotions she had been immersed in the story had long been interrupted by Lin Xuesha, and now she didn't want to watch anymore.
Then she looked up at the two people in front of her. They seemed to be putting on a show for her, and Jiang Ranxing really had no mood to watch anymore.
She put down her teacup, didn't look at the book anymore, and stood up to go upstairs.
However, Fu Shenyuan still wanted to stop her: "You were just saying you wanted to go for a walk, I'll go with you, okay?"
Hearing Fu Shenyuan's almost pleading and expectant tone, Jiang Ranxing only glanced at him indifferently.
"I don't want to think about it now. You and your little lover have already ruined my mood."
After saying that, Jiang Ranxing didn't hesitate and went upstairs to her bedroom.
The bedroom door slammed shut, and Fu Shenyuan looked up and sighed helplessly.
Fu Shenyuan only relaxed after confirming that Jiang Ranxing had really gone back to her room and wouldn't come out again, and then noticed Lin Xuesha beside him.
Lin Xuesha stood to the side, tears streaming down her face, waiting for Fu Shenyuan's attention.
Fu Shenyuan then turned to look at Lin Xuesha and asked, "Why did you come here?"
Lin Xuesha was still angry about Fu Shenyuan defending Jiang Ranxing earlier, but she couldn't show it. So she said with a wronged tone, "I couldn't get through to you on the phone, so I went to Qingshan Villa to look for you because I was worried. The people guarding the villa said you had moved here, so I rushed over. Luckily you're alright, Shenyuan. I was so worried about you."
Fu Shenyuan was initially somewhat dissatisfied with her actions, but Lin Xuesha's attitude was so gentle that he couldn't really say anything harsh, though his tone wasn't exactly friendly either.
"I'm fine. I'll have Tan Shen take you home."
Fu Shenyuan's excuses were so obvious that anyone could hear them.
Lin Xuesha naturally refused to leave, and immediately hugged Fu Shenyuan's arm, saying aggrievedly, "Shenyuan, why are you in such a hurry for me to leave? Don't you miss me at all?"
Fu Shenyuan glanced upstairs and silently withdrew his arm.
Lin Xuesha knew what he was worried about, and of course, she still thought it was Jiang Ranxing!
She thought she was giving Fu Shenyuan time to calm down and think things through, but she didn't expect that Fu Shenyuan's obsession with Jiang Ranxing would only intensify.
This is definitely not what she wanted to see!
Fu Shenyuan directly rejected her, saying, "Xue Sha, I think I've already made myself clear to you before. It's better for us to go back to being just ordinary friends."
Lin Xuesha naturally refused, but seeing that Fu Shenyuan's attitude was already quite firm, she had no choice but to try another approach.
So Lin Xuesha deliberately held her head, pretending to be tired and unable to support herself. She also staggered and almost tripped over herself with a slight step. Fortunately, she fell into Fu Shenyuan's arms at just the right moment.
"Shen Yuan, I feel really unwell. Could you take me to the hospital?" Lin Xuesha said, feigning distress.
Fu Shenyuan didn't hold her the whole time. Instead, he put her on the sofa and, after observing that she was indeed uncomfortable, asked the housekeeper to call a doctor.
Lin Xuesha was surprised to find that the villa was equipped with a doctor and medical equipment.
Of course, it's understandable that she didn't know; Fu Shenyuan didn't tell her that these were all things he had prepared for Jiang Ranxing.
Fu Shenyuan arranged these things in the villa to ensure Jiang Ranxing's safety, fearing that something might happen to her.
He was now terrified that something unexpected might happen, and Fu Shenyuan didn't want Jiang Ranxing to encounter any dangerous situation.
The villa's doctor arrived quickly with the examination equipment and gave Lin Xuesha a preliminary systematic examination.
"Ms. Lin's physical condition is fine; she's probably just a little tired," Dr. Zhao said, putting away the examination equipment beside him.
He glanced at Lin Xuesha as he spoke, but didn't make his meaning too explicit.
Lin Xuesha was still trying to act coquettishly by Fu Shenyuan's side, but Fu Shenyuan didn't seem to react at all.
Lin Xuesha felt terrible, but she didn't dare to show it. She could only pretend to be weak and say, "Shen Yuan, I feel really unwell today. I'm so scared. I remembered that night we spent at the beach when we were kids. Could you stay with me? Just stay with me until I fall asleep. Please don't send me away."
Sure enough, a look of guilt appeared on Fu Shenyuan's face when the past was mentioned.
In any case, he owed her a life, and there was no way he could deny it.
Seeing that Lin Xuesha seemed quite uncomfortable, Fu Shenyuan felt it was inappropriate to simply ask her to leave, even though he didn't want to have too much close contact with her.
Fu Shenyuan nodded: "You can stay in the guest room for the night. I'll have someone take you back tomorrow."
But Fu Shenyuan did not agree to stay with Lin Xuesha until she fell asleep.
Lin Xuesha didn't want to keep pushing herself. Feeling that it was about time, she returned to her guest room upstairs with the help of a maid.
Fu Shenyuan really didn't pay any more attention to him and went back to his room.
Lin Xuesha thought for a long time in the guest room about what she should do in the current situation.
A direct confrontation with Jiang Ranxing is clearly not a good idea. If Fu Shenyuan sees this again, his impression of her will definitely worsen. It seems she will have to find another way to deal with Jiang Ranxing.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Xuesha thought of someone: Fu Hongkai.
The only one with the ability to suppress Fu Shenyuan is probably Fu Hongkai. Old Master Fu can't be relied on now, since he usually doesn't see anyone and is just focused on recuperating.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuesha made a phone call to Fu Hongkai.
Fu Hongkai was feeling quite annoyed about the company's shareholders' meeting when he received Lin Xuesha's call, which surprised him.
What does this woman want with him?
Fu Hongkai answered the call, and his tone immediately softened.
Lin Xuesha politely went through the list of people.
Fu Hongkai didn't want to waste too much energy on her, so he asked, "Miss Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Lin Xuesha smiled and said, "Second Uncle, Shen Yuan and I didn't visit you together when we returned to the country this time. We were thinking of finding an opportunity to invite you to dinner, so as to show our filial piety as the younger generation."
Fu Hongkai snorted: "Forget it. Shen Yuan gave me such a big gift after he came back. I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to eat with you two anymore."
Lin Xuesha asked what was going on, puzzled. Fu Hongkai, probably also interested in watching the three of them entangled, gave a general account of what happened at the shareholders' meeting that day, and specifically pointed out that the key player was the 10% of shares held by Jiang Ranxing.
After saying that, Fu Hongkai said a few polite words and hung up the phone. Lin Xuesha sat on the bed for a long time without making any reaction.
She never expected that Jiang Ranxing, who had been silent until now, would suddenly make such a big move and have such a powerful trump card in his hand.
She knew something about the equity structure of the Fu Group.
The fact that Jiang Ranxing, an outsider, could obtain such a large percentage of shares can only be attributed to one person: Old Master Fu, who is currently recovering from an illness.
Why?! Why does that woman, Jiang Ranxing, get so much?!
Lin Xuesha was extremely resentful. Now Fu Shenyuan was favoring Jiang Ranxing, and even the things they had were more belonging to Jiang Ranxing. This was so unfair!
Lin Xuesha's resentment towards Jiang Ranxing was growing stronger and stronger, and she was determined not to let Jiang Ranxing get away with it so easily.
Lin Xuesha thought it over and over in her room, but finally opened the door and went out. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Fu Xingyi downstairs as well.
Fu Xingyi seemed somewhat surprised when he saw her, and he took a few steps back timidly.
"Aunt Xue Sha, when did you arrive? I didn't see you at all."
Seeing that the child was no longer as affectionate towards her as before, Lin Xuesha deliberately smiled gently at Fu Xingyi.
"Yiyi, come to Aunt Xue Sha's. Auntie misses you so much. Let me hug you and lull you to sleep, okay?"
Fu Xingyi stood there but shook his head. He was worried that if his mother saw this, she would be angry.
His mother isn't very close to him anymore, and if she sees him still with Aunt Xue Sha, she'll definitely be even less close to him.
"Aunt Xue Sha, my mother is back. I can't get too close to you, or my mother will be sad."
Fu Xingyi stood there and spoke softly, without walking over to Lin Xuesha.
Lin Xuesha received no kindness from anyone, including Fu Xingyi, and the expression on her face was almost frozen.
But she still forced a smile: "Okay, Yiyi, then Auntie won't force you. Go and rest."
After hearing this, Fu Xingyi really went upstairs in his slippers without saying anything more to Lin Xuesha.
Seeing that she was treated like a stranger and received no attention, Lin Xuesha became even more furious.
The housekeeper was still observing her expression, thinking she might lose her temper and throw things or slam the door and leave, but Lin Xuesha didn't say anything and simply turned around and went back to her bedroom upstairs.
The butler looked over and shook his head repeatedly.
The next morning, when Jiang Ranxing came out of the bedroom, she was still wearing a silk nightgown.
Lin Xuesha came out of the room as if she had timed it perfectly, and deliberately walked up to Jiang Ranxing.
Jiang Ranxing was still half asleep when he saw Lin Xuesha appear before him, so he was naturally not in a good mood.
Lin Xuesha deliberately walked in front of her and boasted, "Last night I said I was scared, and Shen Yuan stayed with me for a long time."
She spoke ambiguously, deliberately trying to make Jiang Ranxing think in the wrong direction, but unexpectedly, Jiang Ranxing didn't fall for it at all.
“Oh,” Jiang Ranxing continued downstairs as if nothing had happened, “What does that have to do with me? Why are you telling me?”
Jiang Ranxing went downstairs, where a makeup artist and stylist happened to be arriving.
Jiang Ranxing saw the butler pushing the cart over again, with many sets of clothes and dresses hanging on it. When the butler saw Jiang Ranxing, he stopped.
"What's going on?" Jiang Ranxing asked.
The butler replied respectfully, "It was prepared by the master for the madam. The madam may choose whatever she likes."
Although Jiang Ranxing didn't know what Fu Shenyuan was planning to do, she didn't have any reason to be cool when it came to fashionable and well-designed clothes, so she picked out a piece that caught her eye from the row of clothes.
After Jiang Ranxing made her selection, the makeup artist and stylist also got ready. They would design suitable looks and makeup based on the selected clothes.
The housekeeper then invited Jiang Ranxing to the restaurant and served him breakfast.
Throughout this series of events, no one paid any attention to what Lin Xuesha was doing.
Just as Jiang Ranxing was about to have breakfast, the villa door opened again, and Fu Shenyuan walked in. He was wearing a tracksuit, and there was sweat on his forehead, so he looked like he had just finished exercising.
Jiang Ranxing only glanced at him and didn't linger her gaze on him for long.
However, Fu Shenyuan walked in mysteriously with his hands behind his back.
As he approached the dining table, Fu Shenyuan pulled out a small bouquet of vibrant flowers from behind his back. Each petal bloomed brilliantly in front of Jiang Ranxing, displaying its beauty with abandon.
Fu Shenyuan said softly, "I had someone pick it from the greenhouse. It suits you very well. Do you like it?"
Jiang Ranxing probably gave these flowers a second glance out of respect.
"Don't pick them next time, it's a waste," Jiang Ranxing said casually, simply instructing someone to put these words into the vase.
She was neither interested in nor wanted to take to heart the sincerity that Fu Shenyuan showed.
Although Jiang Ranxing didn't quite understand, she seemed to grasp it.
Fu Shenyuan is a person whose heart is absolutely not worth her cherishing.
