Chapter 284 I Can't Let You Go
“Qingrang, Ranxing, you’re both here,” Lin Xuesha then turned to Mia. “And who is this young lady? I haven’t seen her before.”
Mia snorted coldly, not responding to Lin Xuesha's words at all. She hated Lin Xuesha's pretentious act; who was she putting on an act for?
Lin Xuesha said to herself, "Shen Yuan, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I was so busy taking care of Yuqi backstage, and I've been designing her wedding dress these past few days that I haven't had time to contact you. Shen Yuan, you're not angry with me, are you?"
Jiang Ranxing just watched the two of them being so close, without saying a word.
Fu Shenyuan subtly withdrew his arm, deliberately keeping his distance from Lin Xuesha.
"Thank you for helping Yuqi." Fu Shenyuan said politely but distantly, subconsciously glancing at Jiang Ranxing's expression, not wanting her to misunderstand anything.
But Jiang Ranxing didn't seem very interested in what the two of them were saying or doing.
Lin Xuesha was immediately embarrassed, and in order to save face, she clung to him again.
“Shen Yuan, aren’t we family? Don’t talk about how hard it is. This is what I should do.”
Upon hearing this, Mia couldn't contain her temper.
"Oh! Miss Lin, oh no, Designer Lin, you really have a thick skin! Not only did you plagiarize and misappropriate Sister Ranxing's exclusive fabric, but you even dared to say that you're family with the Fu family? I don't remember you marrying into the Fu family, so how can you be family? Are you really that shameless?"
Mia didn't care about any of that. She had been dissatisfied with Lin Xuesha for a long time, and she couldn't stand not venting her anger now.
Lin Xuesha was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but with Fu Shenyuan present, she couldn't lash out. She could only swallow her anger and endure Mia's words without daring to retaliate.
"Oh, I remember now, you're Ranxing's assistant, right? You might be young and naive, and you don't know about my relationship with Shen Yuan. I won't blame you, but don't do it again next time." Lin Xuesha secretly glared at Mia, then smiled again.
Mia was almost disgusted by her: "No! Stop it, I can't stand this. You can save your charm for seducing your CEO Fu. Whatever your relationship is, it is. It's not like Ranxing and I care. I beg you, next time you two want to show affection, can you find a secluded place? Don't keep showing up in front of us and getting in our way. You're really annoying!"
"Oh, by the way, just wait for our studio's lawyer's letter when you get back. You should be prepared for this if you dare to plagiarize," Mia sneered. "If you keep being arrogant, we might really sue you. You even dare to imitate our patented fabric. Do you really think our international patent is a joke?" Lin Xuesha thought Mia would back down for the sake of the occasion, but she didn't expect Mia to say these things even more harshly. Her resentment grew higher and higher, and she wanted to slap Mia right now, but she couldn't do that. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't lose face, especially when she was with Fu Shenyuan. She had to maintain a gentle and proper demeanor.
Lin Xuesha forced a smile: "I think there's some misunderstanding here. Of course, I didn't mean to go against Ranxing. Please calm down, little sister."
Lin Xuesha turned to Fu Shenyuan and spoke in an extremely weak and pitiful manner and tone.
"Shen Yuan, since everyone is unhappy about me being here, I'll leave first. Can you come find me when you're done with your work? I have something I want to tell you."
Fu Shenyuan nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Even if Lin Xuesha wanted to stay, she couldn't find a reason. However, when she left, she asked her assistant to keep an eye on Mia's movements. She couldn't swallow her anger if she didn't teach this woman a lesson.
After watching the whole scene, Jiang Ranxing grabbed Mia's hand and advised, "Alright, don't bother with her. Let's go back."
Upon hearing her speak, Fu Shenyuan strode over, stood in front of them, and said, "I'll drive you back."
Jiang Ranxing felt helpless facing such a tall person blocking her way, but before she could speak, Wen Qingrang pulled her behind him to protect her.
"I can take care of Ranxing and the others myself, so there's no need for you to trouble yourself, Mr. Fu."
Fu Shenyuan narrowed his eyes into a very intimidating arc: "Wen Qingrang, do you have the right to speak here? You should be mindful of your status. Who are you to Burning Star?"
Wen Qingrang laughed, but his gaze was sharp and cold as he looked back at him: "Who I am is not important. What is important is who you are. Do you have more right than me to send Ranxing back? She probably doesn't live with you anymore, right?"
Wen Qingrang's words were like stabbing Fu Shenyuan directly in the lungs, hitting the nail on the head.
"The intimacy between us, no matter what, is something you can't compare to. Don't forget, we have a son. What do you have?"
Fu Shenyuan said that he was trying to find a sense of existence, a sense of belonging that he was still the only man by Jiang Ranxing's side.
“Fu Shenyuan, you weren’t sure when you said that, were you? You know that you and she have no connection whatsoever except for having a child together. You must be feeling very anxious, right?” Wen Qingrang laughed, looking at him with disdain. “This is what you deserve. You should not regret what you did before. You’re not annoyed by constantly pestering her, but Ranxing is.”
Fu Shenyuan couldn't bear to hear these words; his heart ached even more.
Wen Qingrang didn't intend to say anything more to Fu Shenyuan. He looked at Jiang Ranxing and Mia behind him and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."
Fu Shenyuan certainly didn't want Jiang Ranxing to leave like that, so when he went over to take her back, Jiang Ranxing stopped first.
"You're not just here for the wedding; you have other important business to attend to, right? You haven't forgotten about the banquet, have you?"
Jiang Ranxing's reminder was correct. Fu Shenyuan attended this wedding today for two reasons. Firstly, as the head of the Fu family, he was there. Secondly, the wedding brought together celebrities from all walks of life, many of whom were associated with charitable foundations. This was the perfect occasion for him to give these people a heads-up beforehand.
Jiang Ranxing's ability to think of this was something Fu Shenyuan hadn't expected.
Fu Shenyuan couldn't hide the smile on his lips: "You're thinking of me, aren't you?"
She still cared about him; otherwise, why would she remind him of these things?
Jiang Ranxing had previously stated that she did not want the position of director of the charity foundation. Although she said that, he and her grandfather would still push her into that position so that she would be respected.
Looking at her indifferent expression, Fu Shenyuan smiled instead.
He always has a cold expression, but he actually pays attention to his affairs. How can that not be a form of care?
However, Jiang Ranxing did not respond to his question.
"I'm just considering the big picture. If you insist on thinking that way, that's fine with me."
Jiang Ranxing looked at Mia, and the two of them left with Wen Qingrang.
Fu Shenyuan watched them from behind, and only after the beautiful figure he had been longing for disappeared from his sight did he look away.
As long as Jiang Ranxing still has even a small place for him in her heart, he will occupy it and make her whole heart his own.
There will come a day when he can make Jiang Ranxing fall in love with him again.
Fu Shenyuan turned and walked towards the high-society area. This time, he knew he was going to fight for the woman he loved most.
After sending Mia back, Wen Qingrang prepared to take Jiang Ranxing home, but Jiang Ranxing refused.
"Just drop me off at the mall entrance, someone will come to pick me up later."
Wen Qingrang didn't say anything. The moment he started the car and stepped on the gas, he turned it off again.
Jiang Ranxing looked at him, puzzled.
Wen Qingrang turned his head, his gentle eyes seemingly overflowing with tenderness, and his voice remained as clear and moving as ever.
He said, "Burning Star, I've realized I still can't let you go. Like Fu Shenyuan, I'm asking you for another chance, okay?"
