Chapter 19 Why Marry Him?
“I understand. You’re worried that I’ll bring shame to the esteemed Fu family. But Fu Shenyuan, don’t forget, we’re getting a divorce soon. From now on, whatever I do will have nothing to do with your Fu family. Besides, I’m just dancing, it’s just a normal activity. What impact could it have on the Fu family?”
Jiang Ranxing looked at Fu Shenyuan and spoke slowly, her eyes lowered.
They're getting a divorce anyway, so what's the point of Fu Shenyuan saying this to her now?
When she was ready to give up on him and no longer wanted to love him, did he still refuse to talk to her properly?
No matter what, it seems that she and Fu Shenyuan can't have a friendly exchange.
Fu Shenyuan always caused her heartache and embarrassment.
Was their meeting truly a cruel joke played by fate, and whoever takes it seriously will suffer immensely?
“You really think divorce is that simple? You’re too naive, Jiang Ranxing,” Fu Shenyuan added. “The old man won’t agree.”
Jiang Ranxing recalled her conversation with Grandpa Fu that day.
Although Grandpa Fu didn't say it explicitly, his words implied agreement, albeit with conditions.
It seems that Fu Shenyuan is unaware of the agreement between her and Old Master Fu.
She didn't want to explain this to Fu Shenyuan; it was pointless.
“Yes, the old man disagrees, but I have a way to make him agree,” Jiang Ranxing said.
Just wait and see, Fu Shenyuan.
Their divorce was inevitable.
Fu Shenyuan couldn't quite understand Jiang Ranxing.
Jiang Ranxing has changed a lot lately and is no longer around him like before.
Fu Shenyuan said coldly, "Since you want a divorce so badly, why did you insist on marrying me in the first place?"
Jiang Ranxing looked at him, her heart aching unbearably.
"Don't you know why? I married you because I love you."
She had loved Fu Shenyuan so much that she couldn't control her emotions.
"So what now?" Fu Shenyuan asked in return.
“Your Lin Xuesha is back. I’m stepping down to make way for your Miss Lin. Once she’s divorced, we’ll be divorced too, and you two can be together.”
Fu Shenyuan, from now on, neither of us will hold the other back.
Fu Shenyuan chuckled softly, his face grim.
“Jiang Ranxing, you were the one who wanted to get married. Before we have a future together, you should fulfill your duties as Mrs. Fu.”
Jiang Ranxing asked Fu Shenyuan sadly, "And what about you? Have you fulfilled your duties as my husband? ...What gives you the right to demand this of me?"
Fu Shenyuan paused, then uttered words that were enough to break Jiang Ranxing's heart.
"You should know that I have never said I love you. You asked for all of this yourself."
"If you're so capable, then get the old man to agree to our divorce. If you're not, then you'd better be the Mrs. Fu you want to be. You should know better than me what you should and shouldn't do."
Jiang Ranxing's heart sank to the bottom at that moment.
Fu Shenyuan never told her any of this, even though they both knew it in their hearts.
That's right. Jiang Ranxing, knowing full well that Fu Shenyuan didn't love her, still begged for a marriage contract, believing that her love could move Fu Shenyuan.
She overestimated herself and arrogantly thought her love was something so great.
In the end, she was the one who was rejected because no one wanted her.
All the mistakes were her own fault.
But she just instinctively fell in love with someone. Was that really wrong?
Jiang Ranxing gradually saw through this absurd marriage and, looking at the two people in the marriage, found it utterly ridiculous.
Their marriage was destined to be a painful tragedy.
Only when she is covered in wounds can she have a clear mind and see things clearly.
Fu Shenyuan left after he finished speaking, and Jiang Ranxing was not in the mood to go back. She called Mia.
"Mia, you should go back and rest early. I'm fine. I'll go back now."
After speaking, Jiang Ranxing returned to the car and thought about it calmly for a long time.
Her first priority now is to complete the agreement she made with Grandpa Fu as soon as possible.
As long as Grandpa Fu doesn't interfere, her divorce from Fu Shenyuan should go smoothly.
Whatever humble role she played in this relationship or marriage.
She will never do that again.
Never again.
Fu Shenyuan was right; her falling in love with someone who didn't love her was destined to be a mistake.
But who can guarantee they'll never make a mistake in their lifetime?
Jiang Ranxing told herself that she had made mistakes, acted foolishly, and even appeared despicable to outsiders.
But so what?
She won't stay like this forever.
Once she has thought it through, she has the ability and time to call a halt, stop this one-sided giving, and start her life anew.
Just like now, everything she does is to pull herself out of her misery.
Therefore, she believed that as long as she was willing to save herself, as long as she had a breath left, it was never too late.
What good would it do for Fu Shenyuan to say these things to her?
Fu Shenyuan's words would no longer keep her up at night.
She still needs to focus on what she should do and sever ties with the Fu family as soon as possible.
After figuring it out, Jiang Ranxing felt much more relaxed.
She will definitely get back on her feet and reach the pinnacle of her career, so that she has enough confidence to leave the Fu family and not let anyone gossip about her.
The next day, Mia met Jiang Ranxing at the studio.
Jiang Ranxing was currently staring intently at the pattern on the screen.
Mia stammered, "Sis, are you alright? I didn't know Fu Shenyuan went yesterday. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have dragged you along... Sis, are you angry with me?"
Jiang Ranxing then looked up and showed the pattern in his hand to Mia.
"Mia, which of these two colors is prettier?"
Mia looked around and pointed to the one to Jiang Ranxing's left.
"Color #6 is prettier..."
Jiang Ranxing nodded and drew a circle on the pattern with his paintbrush.
"Great minds think alike. I like this too, so I'll go with shade number 6."
When Mia saw that Jiang Ranxing didn't answer her question, she assumed that Jiang Ranxing must be angry.
"Sister, I'm sorry..."
Jiang Ranxing was a little dazed before she remembered that Mia seemed to have said something to her earlier.
She asked Mia to repeat it again, and after listening, Jiang Ranxing smiled with some relief.
“I’m not angry, and I’m not angry with you either. My relationship with Fu Shenyuan will be like this no matter where we are. Until the day of the divorce, we won’t have a nice face whenever we meet.”
Mia: "Sister, you really don't blame me. You're such a good person. Is there anything I can do to help you? I'll do anything for you, even if it means going through fire and water."
Mia sometimes exaggerates when she speaks, and Jiang Ranxing is used to it.
Jiang Ranxing said seriously, "Then I won't hide it from you anymore, Mia. I made a promise with Fu Shenyuan's grandfather, and you can definitely help me with something."
Jiang Ranxing recounted the whole story to Mia.
Mia was quite confident.
"Don't worry, sister. It's just about building up your career. Who is our Ember? As long as you make a comeback this time and establish your reputation, and then solidify your position in the fashion industry, our Ember will be invincible. Who cares about the Fu family or any other wealthy family? I, Ember, am a wealthy family myself!"
Jiang Ranxing thought so too.
Fu Shenyuan, from this day forward, we really must go our separate ways.
Bye now.
It's best if we never see each other again.
